Chapter 65: The Giant's Ruins
The Frozen Plateau is located in the northernmost part of the continent of Beland, which is the northern end of the continent.
The plateau is covered by ice and snow all year round, which is not suitable for the survival of intelligent races at all, but it is on this plateau that is considered to be a forbidden area for life that the strongest warrior giants on the continent were born.
Professor Charlene's advice to Arthur was to go to the Frozen Plateau to find an antidote.
But Arthur has no interest in going to the frozen plateau, leaving the heart of the mother tree full of life energy, and going to a place where there is no one in the ice and snow, and only a fool would want to go?
"Why am I going? Aren't you Star Moon Guardians going to send someone?"
"If you can save the Elven Queen, you will receive a generous reward from the Queen and eternal friendship from the Elves. ”
"I'm not a kid anymore, and this method of drawing a pie doesn't work for me. ”
Shalene sighed softly, "Well, remember what you told you when you asked me to help you in the Orc Wasteland? Going to the Frozen Plateau is the mission of the Alliance, and you have no right to refuse. ”
Arthur was immediately dumbfounded.
Shalene took the initiative to explain: "The reason why the alliance insists on sending people to the frozen plateau is that in addition to looking for an antidote to the elven queen, the main reason is to continue to find clues to the giant clan. The Alliance completely lost contact with the Giants more than two hundred years ago, and we have sent people to the Frozen Plateau over the years, but the Giants seem to have suddenly disappeared, and no trace of them has been found. ”
"Doesn't that mean the giants are dead? Why do you think you'll be able to find a clue by sending me this time? ”
"Each race has a long-distance teleportation magic array that leads to the Star and Moon Guardian, and not long ago, the magic circle belonging to the giants was activated, and something was teleported. ”
"What's that?"
"The 'Broken Seal Stone' that was supposed to be guarded by the giants"
Arthur was taken aback, "Did the giant send it to you?"
"We guess that the Giants must be in big trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have sent the 'Seal Breaking Stone' that was supposed to be guarded by them to the Star Moon Guardian. So hopefully you'll be able to find them out and find out what's going on? It's not just a mission, it's a mandate. Salene said very seriously.
Arthur nodded, and officially took over the task, but still asked uneasily, "Are you sure you can find the antidote in the Giants?"
"Not sure, but there is a lot of hope. Because in the later stages of the war, the giants found a way to lift the 'Frozen Body', and they will definitely pass on such an important thing from generation to generation. I believe that as long as we can find them, we will definitely find the way back then. ”
"Where are you going to let me start looking for such a vast frozen plateau?"
"I will set up a long-distance teleportation circle, and send you directly to the teleportation circle of the giant clan, after all, it is the last clue they left, and if you follow this clue, you will always find something. ”
......
When Arthur walked out of the magic door, he immediately shrunk from the cold, and quickly pulled out the thickest animal skin robe from the space bracelet.
Just now, it was still the comfortable climate and temperature of the elven kingdom, and when he stepped into the magic array, he came out again in the ice and snow with a cold wind howling.
Arthur looked around, and he was in what was supposed to be an abandoned ruin, with snow and ice beneath his feet, but there were many collapsed rocks and columns around him. These dilapidated buildings are all huge in size and have a distinctly giant style.
Shino, Joan, and Spence walked out after Arthur, and the three of them came out in almost identical behavior to Arthur. Arthur found warm thick clothes for several people from the bracelets.
This time Arthur did not bring Arya with him, anticipating unknown dangers and battles, and Arthur handed her over to Professor Charlene to take care of her temporarily.
Joan squinted at the wind and snow swirling in the air and couldn't help but sigh: "First the Earth Fire Furnace Castle, then the Elven Mother Tree, and now the Frozen Plateau, His Highness has actually crossed the entire Beland Continent in a year, it can be regarded as a fantasy journey, right?"
"Now you fool won't talk boring all day, will you?"
Joan laughed: "This is what life should be!"
Shino sighed softly from behind Joan, "I haven't suffered the hardships of life, and I'm still here without illness and moaning about life, let's start, there will be a time when you regret it later." ”
Shino's words were true, and after less than half a day, Joan began to regret it, and did not want to stay here for a moment.
The location where Saran teleported them was the location of the giants' long-distance magic array, and Arthur's first task was to find the magic array. But this place is too big, almost the size of a large city of the Terrans, and finding a magic circle without any markings in such a large area, they can only search inch by inch in the cold wind.
I have almost walked through half of the city, and there are silver-white ice and snow and broken walls everywhere I look, and I have not seen a living creature for nearly half a day.
Joan wrapped her whole body in her robe, and said in a trembling voice, "Think of a way, it's not a way for us to go on like this." ”
"Professor Sharlene said that the long-distance magic array was activated some time ago, and this level of magic array stimulation will definitely cause the gathering and abnormal flow of magic elements, if you can feel the difference in the distribution of magic elements in the space, maybe we can quickly find out the magic array. ”
After Arthur finished speaking, Joan closed his eyes directly, and only stood in place for a moment before he began to move, and he moved with his eyes closed.
"This guy!" Arthur muttered, hurrying after Joan. Although Arthur is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, he thinks that he is much worse than Joan and Arnold in terms of magic manipulation and perception of magic elements.
Joan walked for more than a quarter of an hour and then suddenly stopped and opened her eyes, "This is it." ”
At Joan's feet was an ancient magic array, and the lines of the magic array had been blurred, but several corners of the magic array clearly showed traces of the new magic stone that had been put into it. Around the magic circle is a large number of collapsed buildings, apparently once a place that has been heavily protected.
"Someone has been here before, and I will search carefully to see if there are any clues left. "Sino is more experienced in this area.
So the four of them began to search carefully around with the magic array as the center.
Spence soon made a discovery, "You guys come here. ”
There were not very obvious black-brown marks on the frozen ground, obviously bloodstains, and they would never be very long.
"There have been battles here, and you can see the broken stone pillars around them, several of which have been moved recently. Arthur analyzed.
"Then let's clean up the surrounding things, and maybe something new will be discovered. As he spoke, Shino began to move, and as soon as he lifted his leg, a stone pillar weighing several tons on the ground was kicked away by him.
As Sino kicked the second pillar open, a white shadow suddenly sprang out from underneath the pillar.
"It's the Ice Spirit Fox, catch it!" Arthur shouted excitedly.
