178 The sorrow of parting, the joy of repentance
"That's it...... It's a pity for the artifact's hammer. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Big brother, you are still thinking about it! As I said earlier, it couldn't have been in the hands of players at this level...... Well, it turns out that these pillars still have such a function......"
Walking out of a place in the snowy mountains, Duan Qing and the other two looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky together, and said with some realization.
The way the Grand Magician Sisters sent them away seemed to be borrowing some kind of existing facilities on this mountain-when Duan Qing and the others proposed to leave, Christine, who was still busy reinforcing the magic circle, only pointed them to one location, that is, the stone pillars in the corridor on the second floor, which surrounded the city.
"Where do you want to go, how about Karon Pass? There may be some deviations, but if you use these stone pillars......"
"Wait a minute, can we teleport?" Xue Lingphantom Ice said with some surprise: "Or are there three of you together?" β
"In the existing magic system, there is indeed no mature teleportation technology." The blue-robed woman patiently explained, "However, we have studied before, and among the ruins here, there are some things left over from the era of the Magic Empire, which have a special effect. β
She pointed to the stone pillars around her, "Even if I want to leave easily, I just need to stand in here." β
"Okay." Duan Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "This is really simple, we don't have to risk our lives anymore and walk the way we came again." But ......"
He consulted with his teammates for a while, then said to Christine, "Can we change the target?" β
"Oh?"
"I don't know if you know the place 'Ice Embrace'." Duan Qing said softly, "We want to ...... Go and visit the people of Art. β
"That's right." The blue-robed woman's voice replied in a low voice, "I understand." β
"That's just right." She smiled and nodded: "You can save a little mana, and there will be no deviation in space." β
What do you mean......
Before Duan Qing could react, around them, the black stone pillars that surrounded them showed a green glow with the flat stretching of the blue-robed woman's hands: "Remember to apologize to Yate's relatives on my behalf, and ......"
"May the will of the elements guide your paths."
Then, they appeared in the snowy mountains.
"Do these pillars still have a positioning function?" Looking at the lonely stone pillar standing beside them, Duan Qing touched his chin and asked, "No wonder ......"
In front of them, the stone pillar, which was no different from the "compatriots" they had seen on the road before, was emitting a familiar glowing green light.
"Could it be that these stone pillars ......" Nan Tieshan clasped his arms to his chest and suddenly said loudly: "Actually, it's a street lamp?" β
"Maybe." Duan Qing looked forward to it for a while, and finally gave up the idea of finding directions in the dark night: "Maybe this is the so-called 'miracle' of the Norsr people......."
"Is the so-called miracle the glow under the charge of the wind elemental?"
"Or worse than that." Duan Qing said, "Maybe that miracle refers to the magic power transmission system connected to the entire Falling Star Mountain...... Moreover, this phenomenon similar to fixed-point teleportation must have been encountered by someone, and in the disorder of the elements, this phenomenon may be more likely to appear. β
"That's probably why that Rohm was in that place."
The other two looked at each other, and finally Nan Tieshan asked, "You mean...... Some of the Norsmen were teleported? The ones we encountered on the Spiral Cloud Boardwalk? β
"Not necessarily, after all, I've been dead for a long time." Duan Qing clapped his palms: "So these are just my guesses, and ...... It doesn't matter anymore. β
"Rest for the night, and then go and report the news."
After spending a cold night beside the stone pillar, and simply touching the dawn, Duan Qing and the others made a little discernment, and found that they were located next to the temporary settlement of the Norsian tribe. Without hesitation, a few men hurried to the camp, and the people of the clan remembered their appearance as they had expected.
"Get out! You are not welcome here! β
So the soldiers guarding the gate drove several people out, as they had done before.
"Hey, isn't it just a group of reckless men in the mountains, do you think that labor and management are really afraid of you?"
"Don't do that, they didn't do it directly, it's already good."
Stopping the black-armored man's anxious desire to fight, Duan Qing walked to the snowdrift at the entrance of the camp and shouted inside, "We brought the news of Art!" β
"He's at the top of Falling Star Mountain...... Sacrificed! β
At the other end of the gorge in the snow, several figures poked their heads out.
"We are his teammates! We're here to show our gratitude! β
After saying this, Duan Qing bowed deeply on the snow: "Thank you...... Saved my life! β
"Hey, is this necessary?"
The whistling of the wind and snow continued to sound at the entrance to the Ice Embrace, but there was no other response. The big man in black armor quietly approached Xue Ling's side and asked in a low voice, "We're players, even if we don't ...... saved by that kid."
"Shhhh The latter made a silent gesture: "Looking at it honestly, this should be a way for him to change our friendly relations with those people......"
A smile escaped from the corner of the woman's mouth, and she quietly looked ahead--at the entrance of the ice and snow hug, several figures suddenly appeared from the wind and snow and ran in front of the three of them: "Yate, that waste is dead?" β
"Hahahaha, that fool has finally been punished by God!"
The smile on the woman's lips vanished.
"This is retribution, retribution for his betrayal of us......"
"Yes, yes, what right do the weak people who hide in the house all day have to look down on us......"
"He deserves to starve to death in the snowy mountains! You ......"
"You outsiders, you still be the companions of that waste, you deserve to be killed by him, hahahaha!"
"Hahaha-ah!"
The black sword light suddenly appeared in front of them, frightening several young people who were still jumping backwards.
"Although labor and management understand what you mean, although your effect does not seem to have been achieved, but ......" As Duan Qing slowly stood up, the black-armored man clenched his fists and walked to his side: "Labor and management are a little unaccustomed to the style of these little cubs." β
"These things of the Norsrid clan, where can they compare to half a point of Art......"
"Don't worry, they'll never have a chance to insult him again."
Putting away his sword, Duan Qing slowly straightened his waist again: "But I really didn't expect it, that guy from Yate...... It's a miserable mix in the clan. β
"Hmph, what's the matter now......"
"You three!"
A few young people who were nervous jumped to their side again: "You guys are actually ...... Dare to provoke us? β
"We are the future warriors of the Norsr people, and the most powerful warriors!"
"You're trying to attack us!"
"Don't think about it, just leave! Try my axe! β
"Yes, we're going to teach them a lesson! You can't just leave it at that......"
A couple of guys, dressed in the same white fur coats, rushed in front of them with a shout, and then ...... Of course, he was punched and kicked by three people, and he fell to the ground in unison.
"It was here in the first place...... That's how you treat Art, right? β
Thinking of the scenes he saw in the embrace of ice and snow that evening, Duan Qing's face became more and more gloomy: "You guys, it seems that there is a lack of education......
"Stop!"
Between the two slits, figures began to appear in large numbers, and then Norsr warriors with spears in their hands appeared in front of them. The man at the head had two black marks on his face, which contrasted sharply with the neat white fur on his body, and he first ran over in a hurry, examined the injuries of the young men who had fallen to the ground, and then exclaimed angrily: "You guys! It's you again! You outsiders, you have finally bared your hideous fangs! β
"Brothers and sisters! ...... them all"
Rumble!
The snow suddenly rose upwards in front of themβin front of some of the warriors rushing forward, on the dividing line between the two groups, the shock wave of the snow splashed by the snow exploded with a popping sound, and sprinkled in the wind and snow towards everyone around them. The sheer force blasted the snow up from the ground in the area, as if lifting a huge floor, forming a wall of snow in the air, blocking the warriors who were about to rush forward in front of it.
"Although I don't want to do it, but ......" Lifting a weapon shaped like a giant kitchen knife from the bare black frozen ground, Duan Qing looked at the people who stopped with a gloomy face: "There are only some necessary means that are suitable for when some people are too excited...... Let them calm down. β
"How does it feel, this winter-like cold snow shower?"
"You, you!" The leader with two black marks slammed the snow on his body and raised his spear with a hideous expression: "Are you provoking the dignity of the Nosir?" β
β...... I seem to understand why Art is so miserable. β
Duan Qing plucked out his nostrils, and then slammed the weapon in his hand to the ground: "I'll confirm first, you...... Does this represent the opinion of your entire people? β
The leader stalked his neck, but didn't make a sound.
"Or ...... Among those young people, there are your children in them? β
Duan Qing squinted his eyes and pointed over there, looking like a ruffian: "That's why you're so excited?" β
"You!" The man shouted, "Outsider! It's not your turn to talk nonsense here......."
"Huh." Duan Qing let out a low laugh, then turned his head in the direction of the leader and asked, "This guy isn't their patriarch, is he?" β
"He's not." Xue Lingphantom Ice put down the sword in his hand, and at the same time ripped off the black cloak that he had never taken off, revealing his white light armor: "He should be one of the several powerful warriors in front of the patriarch. β
Duan Qing didn't speak again, because in front of them, those warriors were already in a commotion.
"Look, that armor ......"
"It's like Shirley's hug......"
"It's Shirley's legacy, that's right! Could she be ......?"
"She's the one who inherited Shirley's legacy."
Zhongzheng's voice suddenly came from behind the warriors, and everyone looked in that direction, only to see a gap in the crowd, and an imposing Norsr walked out of it.
"See you again, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice."
"Hello, Patriarch."
Xue Ling's phantom ice was very polite in his mouth, but he still maintained a cold look on his face: "Your clansmen ...... No, your compatriots, as enthusiastic as ever. β
"I apologize for the rudeness of my people, Shirley's heir." The man who called himself the patriarch made a strange salute to this side before continuing: "I wonder what kind of misunderstanding you and your companions had with them......
"Your people, there are some verbal insults to our companions."
"yes, I don't know which one?"
"It's Art."
In the somewhat surprised eyes of the strong Norsr clansman, Xue Lingphantom Ice nodded, "The clansman you banished. β
"The guy who fornicated with outsiders?" The patriarch became a little angry: "The guy who has never completed the trial? With all due respect, it's been a long time since there has been such a cowardly man among the Nors, and he doesn't even have the courage to set out in search of the Divine Shadow......"
"Art has found the Holy Land."
The patriarch's words came to an abrupt halt - all the Norsmen in the wind and snow looked at the man standing at the front with a look of disbelief with their eyes wide open, and only after a while did a buzzing discussion emerge from the crowd: "What did he say...... What the? Shrine? β
"Is it the Holy Land? Not a divine shadow? β
"How is that possible? Isn't that place a legend? β
"How could it be ......"
"How is that possible!" Suddenly a young shout came from behind, it was one of the young Norsmen from before: "How could that waste do such a thing!" β
"Hmph, I don't expect you to believe it." In front of everyone, Duan Qing, who wiped his nose, raised his chin: "Nosr clan, right......"
"Arrogant, stubborn, superstitious, restless, and ...... Extreme ignorance. He pointed at the group of spear-wielding warriors who were growing angry, with a look of disdain: "Ostracizing outsiders for some inexplicable reason, and not even the slightest thought of wanting to mend a new leaf!" You still have this attitude towards the people in the tribe who are studying foreign knowledge and want to seek a breakthrough......"
"I can't see hope in you people."
"What did you say!"
"Kill him!"
Amid the excited shouts of the crowd, Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the snow: "Seriously, you people who don't understand anything and don't want to understand anything...... It's really not suitable to be a member of the Yat. β
"Chase away these outsiders!"
"It's his misfortune to have people like you."
"How do they know about our sacred land!"
"Hey, looking at it this way, I didn't complete the task, and I can be regarded as escaping a catastrophe! Hahahaha......"
In this noisy and shouting atmosphere, Duan Qing turned around and left this place with Nantie Mountain gesticulating and Xue Ling Phantom Ice who had put on his cloak again, in addition to the pile of doubts and shouting to teach them a lesson, there was also the shout of the patriarch to calm down his emotions, and the voice full of excitement: "That adventurer, is what you said true?" Art...... Have you really found the Holy Land? β
"Hmph......" Duan Qing, who had stopped, said without looking back: "We won't tell you, if you want to know the answer......
"Go find out yourselves, Art's footsteps."
The wind and snow seemed to become smaller for a moment at that moment, and then continued to sweep across the snowfield as usual, and finally flew towards the gloomy sky with snowflakes that seemed to be indistinguishable from usual. The figures of the three people walking side by side became farther and farther away in such a wind and snow, and then disappeared into the distance of the snow hills.
