Li Ke has been collecting information about Kjerag since a long time ago, but unfortunately, Kjerag is actually a very closed country and never communicates with the outside world, and only a handful of people come out of it every year It is more difficult to collect relevant information than Lateran.

So until now, Li Ke's understanding of Kjerag is still very limited.

What is certain is that the weather conditions in Kjerag are very harsh, and it is common for snowstorms to blow for ten days and a half months in a row, so don't expect to hide here for a while, and the snowstorm outside will stop.

If you want to climb to the top of the mountain, you must continue to advance against the snowstorm.

The rest of Li Ke's knowledge is related to 'Karanism', the local belief in Kjerag.

Strictly speaking, Kjerag is not actually a religious country.The person with the highest status in the Karan religion, the 'Saint of Karan' is nominally the supreme leader of Kjerag, but in fact the Holy Maiden of Karan has no actual rights, and the control of Kjerag is in the hands of others .

That is, the three major families that Phoenix mentioned before.

These three major families formed a council, which secretly controlled everything about Kjerag. Li Ke did not know much more about these three major families. Even one of them, the "Shiva Ash Family" The name was also told to him by Phoenix.

The holy mountain has a supreme status in Kalan religion. Unless there are some special circumstances, the holy mountain is generally forbidden for anyone to enter.

Only during major events such as the selection of the saint, the holy mountain will allow other people to enter.

And even so, the only ones who can enter the holy mountain are those who participated in the selection of the saintess.

If there is no accident, the road that Li Ke is taking now is the "heavenly road" used by the Karan Sect to select saintesses. , Li Ke began to doubt the authenticity of this rumor.

It is rumored that when the Karan religion selects a saint, it is necessary for a woman of the right age to hold a trial bell, follow the three-step, one-nod, five-step, one-ring bell rule, and follow the heavenly road to the shrine at the top of the holy mountain.

Now Li Ke seriously doubts the veracity of this rumor. Women are inherently weaker than men in all aspects of physical fitness. This road to heaven is so difficult even for Li Ke to climb. There are really women who can do it without contact with external forces. Climb all the way to the top of a sacred mountain?Li Ke expressed doubts.

If someone could do this kind of thing, then her strength might be able to kill an Ursus with one punch.

Shivering, Li Ke quickly erased the image that emerged from his mind. After sorting out his belongings, he poked open the ice cap above his head, turned over and crawled out of the ice hole.

The time to rest is enough, and it's time to move on again.

Therefore, Li Ke followed the previous method, using the Supreme Flame as a crutch, and slowly moved towards the top of the mountain step by step.

……

"finally reached……"

I don't know how long it took, through the boundless snow, finally a little trace of man-made buildings appeared at the end of Li Ke's visible range.

Although there are only two man-made steps, this also shows one thing, he is not far away from the divine dwelling on the top of the mountain, as long as he walks through the last series of steps, he should be able to reach the peak of the holy mountain.

I don't know if these steps are designed like this on purpose. The first step is more than 20 centimeters high, and the width that can be stepped on is only about ten centimeters. If you are not careful, you will fall from the steps.

Of course, Li Ke didn't have the idea of ​​caring for these steps, so he simply stuck the Supreme Flame on the ground to support him to walk through the last section of the crappy steps.

When Li Ke stepped onto the last step, before he came to remember to see the situation in front of him clearly, an amazing scene happened.

The snowflakes flying all over the sky disappeared, and the first ray of sunlight in the sky penetrated the dark clouds and precisely shone on Li Ke's body.

In the dark environment, only Li Ke's body shone with golden light. No matter who saw this scene, they would probably be amazed by the perfect picture in front of them.

The blizzard... actually stopped?

"????"

Li Ke felt that his heart was filled with indescribable emotions. Why did the snowstorm stop at the last moment when he set foot on the top of the mountain?

It's a lie... If Li Ke had stayed in the cave for a few more hours just now, wouldn't he not have to climb up in the snowstorm?

What's even more exasperating is that he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on... If he wanted to blame, he could only blame the Kalan God who didn't know if he really existed.

In short, after a lot of hard work, I don't know if it was a waste of effort, Li Ke finally climbed to the top of the holy mountain of Kalan.On the top of the holy mountain, there is an open platform the size of a basketball court.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of blue-gray stone bricks. Surprisingly, there was no trace of snow on the top of the mountain even though there had been such a heavy snowstorm before.

Looking forward, there are two huge stone pillars standing on the edge of the platform. In the center of the pillars is a dark entrance. If there is no accident, there is the so-called shrine where the god of Kalan is.

The entire shrine seems to have been dug out of the mountain... No, to be precise, the platform where Li Ke is now was dug out bit by bit.

Judging from the traces left by wind erosion, this place should have existed for a very long time, but I don’t know who built it. If it was from the Kjerag people, then Li Ke would really like to lament their perseverance.

Even with the assistance of Originium skills, it is definitely not an easy task to build a temple on such a high mountain.

For a person like Li Ke who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, it is actually difficult for him to understand some unbelievable actions made by some fanatics driven by their beliefs.

However, Li Ke didn't come here to empathize with those fanatics. He wanted to talk to the true master here, the so-called "God of Kjerag" and "Goddess of Karan".

But it must be something left over from the ancestors, and it must be worshiped by these Terran people as gods... Li Ke thinks so.

He has almost understood the situation in Lateran. Even their Pope is a robot. It is hard to imagine what the so-called Lateran God is. If you continue to think about it in this way, the so-called Kjerag God, There are also gods hidden in the deep sea, which are probably the mess left by the ancestors.

It's a pity... Li Ke came one step late in the end.

Near the entrance of the Shenju, Li Ke saw more than a dozen corpses that had been frozen into ice sculptures. This kind of behavior was completely blasphemy, and it was impossible for the Kjerags to do such a thing.

But if it was done by the Sarkaz, it would make sense... Their style of doing things is usually no taboo, and killing people and throwing corpses is completely trivial.

Just when Li Ke was about to step forward to find out, a beam of black light flew out from the temple in front and flew straight to Li Ke's head.

Li Ke tilted his head slightly, and the black glow flew over Li Ke's hair. If you took a second look, you could find that it was an arrow painted black.If it is placed in a slightly darker environment, I am afraid that the existence of this arrow will be discovered before it is hit.

As the arrow fell into the air, a mocking voice rang in Li Ke's ears, "Ha, look what I found? A Sakota man? He was able to escape the arrow just now, and his skills are still not bad."

A group of Sarkaz came out from the center of the God of Karan.

Although they still had all kinds of disguises on their heads, after being cheated once, even from such a distance, Li Ke could smell the stench of demons on that group of people.
