As a single guy in his thirties.
When Lin Ziming mentioned "many children," he always felt a bit insecure.
However, the Red Dragon did not have the National Anti-Fraud Center APP software, so he had no idea that the Steward Lin, who kept talking about his family and children, was actually a poor single guy who got urged to marry every year.
He first slightly paused in surprise, then naturally said:
"Steward Lin, you may not be aware.
The material for making the stone whistle is not the scorching stone you've seen before, but another kind of mystical holy stone.
Holy stones are not often seen behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, and can only be obtained at the Holy Mountain where many tribes attend together."
Lin Ziming lightly glanced at this big guy, keenly noticing the crucial point:
Holy Mountain.
Then he looked at Shi Yin to confirm:
"Xiaoshi, is the meaning of this word accurate? Could there be any translation errors?"
Shi Yin seriously shook her head, not feeling displeased by being questioned.
As someone who first came into contact with related words, she realized the importance of this term even earlier than Lin Ziming:
"Colonel Lin, the term 'Holy Mountain' in the Damo language is an independent term, much like our local Taihang Mountain,
its meaning is unique and there should be no errors in translation."
Lin Ziming thoughtfully rubbed his chin, murmuring:
"Holy Mountain.... "
If I remember correctly...
The location of the Demon Gate is also a former holy mountain of a Western ancestral tribe, right?
The ancestral tribe's land is in the Burial Spirit Plateau, although the plateau has long been decimated, it doesn't erase the fact that it once existed.
You should know.
Before the collision with the Demon Realm.
The Burial Spirit Plateau, like the Celestial Crossing Mountain Range, was also one of the dangerous lands in the Damo Realm.
With both being dangerous lands and having a place named Holy Mountain...
This is quite intriguing.
Then Lin Ziming looked at Red Dragon, intentionally showing a curious look, and asked:
"Red Dragon Commander, may I ask where the Holy Mountain is? Could you tell me more about it?
If I can't buy the stone whistle, I could at least bring back some new stories for the kids.
Of course.
If it involves Yange Tribe secrets, then just pretend I never asked."
Upon hearing this, Red Dragon cheerfully waved his hand:
"Holy Mountain is not considered a secret, even the smallest tribes know of its existence.
It's just that ever since ancient times, it has been difficult to travel between the backside of the Celestial Moon Mountain Range and the central domain. The caravans didn't deliberately promote the Holy Mountain, so its spread isn't that wide.
Steward Lin, you should know.
The tribes behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range are extremely scattered, with little interaction among them.
However, whether it's a large million-population tribe or small wandering tribes with four to five hundred people, they all have a common belief...
That is the Holy Mountain!"
After saying these words, Red Dragon paused, and with a slightly solemn expression, continued:
"It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a vast kingdom behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, ruling the lands via mountain demarcations from the central domain.
The kingdom was incredibly majestic, with a royal court standing above the heavens, proudly overlooking the world.
As for the Holy Mountain, it was the gate to the royal court and the towering altar for the annual beginning-of-the-year national tribute.
Yet, on a certain day countless years ago, the royal court inexplicably collapsed, and so too did the Holy Mountain.
Within a few short years, many powerful tribes declared independence.
This led to the current situation behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range.
However, as time passed, the grandees of many tribes suddenly found.
Only after worshipping the Holy Mountain will the power in the bloodlines of the barbaric folk be awakened, allowing them to embark on the body refining path.
Later, the eight largest tribes among the barbaric conducted a discussion, forming a Holy Mountain Worship Group, agreeing to hold a grand offering every six years.
During the grand offering, all children from the tribes who had not awakened were sent to the Holy Mountain for training, and rewards were placed at different locations on the Holy Mountain.
The stone material for the stone whistle was obtained by me during my childhood at the mountainside, which was also one of the best achievements of the Yange Tribe.
The main part of the material was crafted into a stone sword and given to my elder brother, while the remaining part was blended to create the stone whistle."
Lin Ziming quietly listened, then displayed a look of realization:
"I see, I see, Red Dragon Commander, it seems I was being forward."
He then discreetly glanced at the recorder on his chest, confirming that Red Dragon's words were all captured in the sample library.
An observant person could easily notice that Red Dragon's description carries a very obvious mythological tone.
Therefore, one should not fully trust its content.
Of course.
Such a description might not be Red Dragon's subjective intent but rather how it was passed down from his predecessors.
Yet, even if Red Dragon's account contains some exaggeration, the origins of the Holy Mountain are definitely extraordinary.
The term 'barbaric folk' fits its meaning.
Being inherently wild.
As the saying goes, they are unruly.
Thus, to allow barbaric folk with extraordinary powers to voluntarily hold worship ceremonies, the Holy Mountain itself must indeed hold something special.
Then Lin Ziming asked:
"Red Dragon Commander, since then, have you never returned to the Holy Mountain?"
Red Dragon took a look at him, shook his head, and sighed:
"Steward Lin, a barbaric can only enter the Holy Mountain once in his life, the second entrance will be blocked by a special force,
and the location of the Holy Mountain is extremely far behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, taking at least a year on the road alone.
Tribe life is not easy, and naturally, there's no leisure to fool around at the Holy Mountain."
Lin Ziming gently nodded, taking all this information to heart.
Judging from Red Dragon's recent words.
It seems there is an absence of teleportation arrays like long-distance transmission tools behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, making long-distance travel seemingly difficult.
As for flying ships, that remains uncertain.
There might or might not be; solely judging by the term 'journey' and assuming everything relies on walking would be too arbitrary.
Then Lin Ziming thought of something and took out a pack of Weilong spicy strips from himself, tore it open and offered it to Red Dragon:
"Here, Red Dragon Commander, have a taste of this, let's chat while eating."
Red Dragon, with curiosity, took the spicy strip.
His nose twitched a few times, then he cautiously ate a small piece, and immediately his eyes lit up:
"Hmm? Tasty!"
Lin Ziming smiled as he watched Red Dragon, saying nothing.
Weilong spicy strips, they were selected as command headquarters analyzed and chosen this food item carefully.
In the Damo Realm, a seasoning similar to chili exists, but the taste of 'spicy' is not mainstream.
Because chili has the effects of warming the middle, promoting digestion, alleviating cold and dampness, it's mainly spread in cold or humid areas.
For example, the local Xiangnan, where there is a saying about the "three Xiangs and four rivers."
Flowing through Zhangjiajie is the Li River, flowing through Changde is the Yuan River, passing through Anhua, Shaoyang is the Zishui River, and passing through Yongzhou, Hengyang, Changsha is the Xiangjiang River.
All four rivers tail northward into Dongting Lake, forming a northward water system.
The direction of the water system can counterprove the mountain range forms a south-high-north-low landscape.
The hills and ridges naturally form a natural barrier.
Xiang Province, its southern part acts like a screen blocking the northern climate, so north of Guangdong Province, it snows while south of Nanling rarely sees snow.
Additionally, another evidence of water vapor concentration is the snow disaster of 2008, but we'll not elaborate here.
Interestingly enough.
The trend of the Celestial Moon Mountain Range is also south-high-north-low.
Moreover, bordering the southern domain is the eastern domain, where the outermost dangerous land is...
Star Sea.
Though the specific structure between dangerous lands isn't clear, it's not unexpected that the Star Sea and the area behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range have some overlap.
And according to what the rabbits have gathered, the Star Sea has high winds and roaring waves all year round.
So at the contact area between the two dangerous lands, there must be some water vapor entering inland.
When there's a lot of water vapor, chili - this useful thing - naturally finds its place.
So the rabbits didn't randomly give out supplies; everything was well-prepared.
While Red Dragon was munching on the spicy strip, a barbarian suddenly rushed over in a panic:
"%¥#@あ...."
