Chapter 70: The Gates of Winterfell
When Xiao Li and Tang Si "escorted" the Arwen, who said that the latter was "protecting" the two of them to the ruins of Winterfell, it was already noon the next day.
Just like the images and photos leaked by the adventurer bosses who explored the map in advance, Winterfell is located on the edge of a cliff in the northeast of the Scourge Snow Field, and the Ice Rift is just below it, unfathomable, like a moat, separating the Eastern Continent from the Abyssal Realm.
As the front line against the Abyss, Winterfell is one of the most fortified cities, if not one.
For example, the walls of Jiling City are only a foot high, and there is no female wall at all, it is an earthen wall that can withstand wild beasts.
However, the walls of Winterfell are more than three feet high, not to mention the wide ability to run horses, and the middle of the wall is not rammed earth, but a solid boulder. Coupled with the perennial ice, it is a strong horse.
Even if they were attacked by demons, it was only those demons that could fly over the walls and wreak havoc in the city.
The Frost City on the other side is much the same.
As a result, the two cities are relatively intact, and many of the buildings can be used casually as long as they take a short break.
At this moment, horrific groups of skeletons and bone beasts were slowly crossing the winding glacier towards Winterfell.
β¦β¦
Two horses and a deer galloped across the snowfield, grazing the edge of the army of the undead less than a hundred meters towards the city gate.
"Hello Dean."
"Welcome to the dean."
"As soon as the dean comes, the ten thousand demons will disperse!"
- These rainbow farts are not spoken by mage players, but by melee players blocking gates and street entrances.
Since the gate was gone, the two city gates that were two feet wide could only be blocked close to the battle class, and it was also a shame that they still had the leisure to joke.
However, Arwen's arrival obviously brought players a lot of surprise and confidence.
After all, the Great Magician, the Dean of the Magic Academy.
When the time comes, won't a skill be thrown over?
Along the passage where the melee class had been vacated, Xiao Li and the three of them quickly walked towards the arena located in the west of the city under Liu Jing's greeting.
The Colosseum is similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome, but larger and more majestic. If fully restored, it will accommodate more than a hundred thousand people without the slightest crowding.
Its special acoustic reflection design allows people to hear the sound in the central arena even from the highest high platform.
At this time, Ye Scattering, Qin Silu, Qin Yuanshan, Yu Yang, and several other Eastern Continent bigwigs who came to other cities all gathered in the ditch below the arena.
At the end of the ditch, there is a huge stone gate that is more than three meters high and about two meters wide. There is a rune array engraved on the stone door, and there are people outside the door who are constantly trying to combine rune arrays.
And in other parts of the arena, there are also many players who are checking and searching around.
Xiao left the door to see the mountain: "How is it?" β
Ye Scattered came out first, frowned and shook his head: "I tried all morning, but there was no reaction at all." β
Xiao Li looked at Qin Silu again: "You can't do it either?" β
"I feel like the rune array is right, after all, I've seen you open the gates of Icewind Dale. And this rune array is very similar to the one in Icewind Dale, even if I don't have the combination you gave, I can try it out. Qin Silu was very frustrated, she bent one leg against the edge of the ditch: "Could it be that the level is not enough?" β
Xiao was noncommittal.
If it was a previous life or just before the crossover, he would definitely think that the level was not enough. But now that the system is starting to play tricks, and he has an extra layer of knowledge about this world, of course he doesn't think that level will be the key to getting stuck in the mission.
Now he's all the way to the dark - as if this were a real world, and all NPCs were real people.
Under this cognitive premise, there is no such thing as a task that cannot be triggered by a hierarchy.
"I'll take a look." Arwen smiled at the greeting and walked towards the door.
The bigwigs have given in.
It needs to be said that since he can be called a big guy, and he was selected by Xiao Li and Ye Zero to open the door here, it is naturally not those ordinary players who only know how to upgrade and practice skills.
After all, at least half of the players here are players like Qin Yuanshan Yu Yang who "have NPC permissions", and they can be said to be the people who deal with the NPC race the most. If none of them are aware that these NPCs are actually far beyond the concept of traditional NPCs, they are not qualified to be here.
Qin Silu glanced at Tang Si, who was standing on guard at the outermost point with a bow, she coughed and approached Xiao Li: "You guy, what do you mean by bringing a girl to send Yawen?" β
"What do you mean?"
"Che, who doesn't see that Arwen is interesting to you? Don't believe you ask Xingzai. β
"......" Xiao Li was full of black lines: "Don't make trouble, big guy, open the door." β
"I don't want you to open it - what if Arwen can't open it too?"
"Then crash away." Xiao Li walked to the door and stood beside Arwen.
As a great magician, Arwen was able to control the magic power to perceive the magic circle, and after a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Li: "It seems that the magic circle is broken, and it is the part of the bad inside." β
Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
According to common sense, if the mission of the people inside is to wait for the "player" to open the door, they will definitely check whether the rune array is in good condition every once in a while.
"You use your consciousness to guide the magic along the magic route through the stone gate, and then release a wind wolf to see if there is anyone inside."
As soon as Xiao Li's words came out, Yawen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Silu behind him was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say "lean": "Can you still play like this?" β
"Only the Great Mage should be able to play like this." Night Zero was thoughtful and smiled: "I also wanted to control the magic power, but found that there was no way. β
"It should be okay to practice more, start with spells first, like this." Xiao Li raised his fingertips and chanted the flame technique, but only saw a small flame.
Qin Silu learned from Xiao Li, but unexpectedly spewed out a fire snake, which burned Yu Yang on the side and screamed wildly.
Everyone was happy at the same time.
At the same time, Arwen, who was closing her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes: "Someone, here!" β
"The three of them, followed the wind wolf to the door, and they found that the talisman array was broken."
Everyone held their breath at the same time and looked at the stone gate.
Xiao took a step back and looked back at everyone: "Which of you has more time?" β
Everyone looked at him with an expression that you weren't talking nonsense.
"When you open the door, you always have to get someone to talk to. Then, if nothing else, this person will be the leader of the Eastern Continent Alliance, and will have access to a lot of authority in the city. β
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Li's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he smiled: "A bowl of water is flat, I recommend Lao Ye." β
"He has a couple of advantages."
"First, he's a mage, and he died late in battle."
"Second, Lao Ye has experience in conducting and has a loudspeaker."
"Third, Lao Ye has prestige both in the game and in the forum, and he can also communicate with the Western Continent."
"In the end, Lao Ye has a good character, such as the old shoes and hats are all eliminated for me......"
The last sentence made the slightly solemn atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and everyone laughed at the night scatters.
Xiao Li's every sentence was right, and he didn't say it for another reason - he was present, except for Xiao Li, Ye Scattering, Qin Silu, and Tang Si and the other two who were standing outside and couldn't figure out the way, everyone was the "doglegs" of their respective cities.
There's no need to come here again to grab permissions.
Ye Sporadically glanced back at Tang Si, and finally looked at Xiao Li and said with a smile: "You can go - I'm not a machismo, I just think Silu can't handle it." β
When Qin Silu heard this, she immediately said angrily: "I'm not a feminist, but what you said made me very unhappy!" β
Ye Lingxing smiled and shook his head: "Old Xiao, I guessed who you are." And I'll give you the Horn's casting path laterβyou should know the spell after listening to it, right? β
"Who is it?"
Ye Scattered did not answer Qin Silu, waiting for Xiao Li to nod.
Xiao Li sighed.
Before he left the door, he began to instruct Ye Scattered to organize people, and then tell them the entire task line - even if Ye Scattered Secret Level didn't know that the weaver was a traverser, he would definitely be able to guess that the weaver must be Xiao Li.
As for the identity of the dean, it depends on whether the night sporadically dares to guess.
"I don't really have a lot of time." Xiao Li smiled bitterly: "But the authority is quite useful, if you are lucky, maybe the arena can be rebuilt soon." β
Night nodded sporadically: "Then what else do you say?" That's you. β
Qin Silu looked at Xiao Li, and then at Ye Lingxing: "Who is he?" How did I not know? β
Ye Scattered said leisurely: "Because when the dean showed the staff that day, you were stupid and blind. β
