Two weeks before the end of term, the sky suddenly cleared to a blinding opalescent color and the muddy fields were covered with a shiny layer of frost one morning.
The castle is filled with Christmas atmosphere.
Professor Flitwick, Charms teacher and Head of Ravenclaw House, has decorated his classroom with shimmering light sources that are actually fluttering wings of real fairies.
All the students were happily discussing their vacation plans.
Ron and Hermione both decided to stay at Hogwarts. Ron said he couldn't stand spending two weeks with Percy and Hermione insisted she was going to the library, but Harry knew better. : They did this to accompany him, and he was grateful——
The only thing that makes Harry a little unhappy is that "Tiera" chose to leave school this holiday, which means that this will be Harry's first Christmas without Tiera by his side since entering Hogwarts. This made Harry a little uncomfortable.
At the same time, the real Tiera finally reached the end of his dreamland journey before Christmas -
He came to trade pillar copper, flowing silver and sky gold with the moon beast clan, and he was not looking for Dreamland like Randolph Carter. Therefore, when Tiera was not found in the coastal jungle city hlanith and the desert trade center ilarnek When looking for the three necessary materials for the ceremony of becoming a god, Tiera resolutely set foot on the black multi-oared sailing ship of the Leng original inhabitants. Starting from Dilas-Lin, she passed through the huge basalt mountain pillar forest and the magnificent mountains in the west. Karisua leaped out from the giant waterfall behind the basalt pillar forest and headed towards the void and dark abyss behind the waterfall——
The big ship is getting farther and farther away from the earth, shooting silently into the planetary space like a comet——
Tiera had already entered the cabin before flying out of the waterfall, enduring the horrifying stench and staying with the ugly Leng Plains residents.
Although Tiera felt that a thin deck was useless, Tiera still tried her best to avoid being exposed to the void of the universe to avoid being noticed by other outer gods——
Some invisible, dark things are lurking, squirming and struggling in space. These things stay in this terrible space and look maliciously at those who may pass by the voyagers, grinning at them, and sometimes even Use their slimy paws to touch and feel moving objects that pique their curiosity. These things are the nameless larvae of the outer gods. They are as blind and stupid as the outer gods, and they also have unusual hunger and desire——
Fortunately, this dangerous voyage did not last long. Soon, the helmsmen adjusted the direction and sailed towards the moon.
The moon at this time was a crescent moon. As they approached, the moon emitting bright moonlight became larger and larger. Tiera could clearly see the strange craters and somewhat disturbing peaks on the moon.
The sailboat quickly circled the edge of the moon and sailed on lands that humans had never seen before. A strange landscape appeared on the earth, clearly showing signs of life on it.
Tiera saw many low, wide, round huts scattered among the fields of grotesque whitish mushrooms. He noticed that these huts had no windows, and their shapes were very reminiscent of those built by the Eskimos. Temporary cabin -
yes!
Tiera suddenly reacted. He remembered that one of the many famous disappearances on the earth was the mass disappearance of the Eskimos.
These disappearances are all the same:
The Eskimo's hut was empty, not a soul in sight. Many huts still have rice pots on the stoves, and when the lids are lifted, there is some cooked food inside. In other huts, there are several pieces of sealskin tops being sewn, but it seems that they are only half-sewn. Because the needles made of animal teeth are still stuck on the clothes——
These Eskimos seemed to drop their half-worked work or half-eaten food and suddenly disappear.
Beyond the Eskimo huts, Tiera caught a glimpse of the oily waves rising in the sluggish sea, and realized that their voyage would be back to water again—or at least some kind of liquid.
The hull made a strange sound when it broke through the liquid surface, and the strange and elastic state of the waves when they received the hull also puzzled Tiera. Then, they began to glide on the oily ocean at an extremely fast speed, and passed another galley with a similar appearance and said hello to it.
But at a glance, nothing could be seen except this strange ocean and the sky above. Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky at this time, the sky was still black and full of stars.
Soon after, a rugged coast consisting of jagged mountains gradually rose up in front of the galley. At the same time, Tiera also saw a city——
The city was dotted with unpleasant gray towers, and the prisoner found the prisoner uneasy with their sloping, curved appearance, their clustering, and their complete lack of windows.
As the coastline drew closer, the city's eerie stench grew stronger. At the same time, Tiera saw large forests growing on those jagged mountains, and some of the trees in those forests clearly came from the same ancestor as the solitary moon tree in the magic forest on Earth.
It is from the sap of this tree that the tiny brown zurgs brew their strange wine.
When the sailboat docked at the port, Tiera could already clearly distinguish the figures moving on the smelly pier ahead——
Or monsters, because they are not human at all, not even remotely human.
If Tiera hadn't seen the portrait of this monster from Merlin's notes, Tiera would have vomited it out by now——
This is an ugly impact from a world view that is completely different from my own——
They were huge, slimy, gray-white creatures that could expand and contract freely.
Their appearance - though it often changes - roughly resembles that of an eyeless toad, with a cluster of short, quivering pink tentacles growing out of the tip of their blunt, vaguely defined snouts. The creatures waddled busily around the docks, jumping on and off the anchored galleys, clutching long oars in their front paws. Occasionally, one of these creatures can be seen driving a group of slaves with clattering footsteps. The slaves actually looked like humans with wide mouths, very similar to the merchants doing business in Dilas-Lin. Only those without headscarves, clothes and shoes looked less human. .
The creatures would unload slaves—foremans would give them experimental squeezes to pick out the fattier ones—from the ships, and then cram them into huge crates.
Workers would push the crates into low warehouses or load them into huge, bulky vans.
The thin ones were kept in cages and seemed to want to be sold on the spot——
And Tiera saw someone or a group of acquaintances——
It is archaeologist Judy Wilson, mysticism enthusiast Adol Kent, geography student Mitchell McGann, former Soviet KGB agent Sumarokov Romanov and the local guide who has been devastated by mysterious events, Ai Benny Abishdin——
Different from the high-spirited appearance when they first set off, they were now sitting in the cage miserably, with dull eyes and dirty bodies. Among them, former Soviet KGB agent Sumarokov Romanov's left arm was purple and blue, obviously. It was a sign of poisoning, but even so, he still hugged the old suitcase in his arms——
Others had varying degrees of impairment.
The journey after they entered the cave went smoothly. Although it was dangerous, it was within their ability to cope. The biggest dangers they faced along the way were just getting lost and running out of food——
But when they came out of the cave—
When they appeared on the Cold Plateau, the situation took a turn for the worse——
Before the group could celebrate in a hurry, they were blocked by Leng Zhidao——
It was a huge purple spider with sharp fangs and a strong body——
Although a group of people worked together and barely managed to kill it, the highest combat power in the team, the former Soviet KGB agent Sumarokov Romanov, was directly incapacitated——
Immediately afterwards, they met the residents of Lengyuan who were attracted by the sound of fighting.
You can imagine what happened after that. They were captured as slaves by the residents of Lengyuan and transported here——
But because most of the team were skinny, and the only tall person among them was seriously injured, even though they arrived a few days earlier than Tiera, there was still no moon beast willing to buy him— —
"You guys are pretty lucky." Tiera said with a smile, then gently stretched out her hand to grab——
The archaeological team in the cage disappeared instantly, and at the same time, the old suitcase appeared in Tiera's left hand.
Tiera waved her right hand again, and a large thick book appeared under Tiera's right arm——
Just after he did all this——
An aboriginal from the Cold Plateau appeared behind Tiera——
"Human." The resident of the Cold Plateau said, "The high priest is willing to accept your sacrifice."
"Regarding matters related to the copper of the pillar, the flowing silver and the gold of the sky, the priest group hopes to discuss in detail with you face to face."
"Of course it's no problem." Tiera nodded and said, "Please lead the way."
