"Don't you have anything to say?"
The eyes under the hood seemed to cut across his face, and then he stopped paying attention.
"Alas......" Duan Qing sighed, "Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about your teammates......"
"They've already used these words."
Walking on the ridge leading to Falling Star Mountain, Duan Qing and the others still maintained their basic survival mode, and they didn't want to waste too much except for the energy needed to maintain their lives. But I don't know if it's a certain height.,The monsters here are obviously much less than before.,The consumption of the battle is correspondingly much less.,Under the merciless wind and snow.,Even the strange birds that they could see in the sky when they came.,Now you can't see it.γ
Although some Nosrid tribesman led the way, the distance to the highest mountain in the free world was really unfortunate, and they had to walk along the ridges of some snow-capped mountains as far as they could see, one by one, slowly approaching. The wind and snow along the road still brought them a biting cold, and at the same time ate away at their will, so in order to stay awake, they still kept doing what they often did along the way - chatting.
But after talking too much, there will eventually be places where you can't talk about it, such as the current situation - Duan Qing had also asked the same question about his eldest brother Nan Tieshan before, and the other party's answer was that he had nothing else to say except "I will definitely participate".
"The registration lasts for so many days, there will always be time to register."
Since the use of technology such as virtual servers, the so-called playing venues are no longer a problem, and if there are too many people who want to watch the game, the league can even use mirror virtual technology to distinguish the spectators. For the same reason, the number of participants is no longer a problem, in addition to adding some difficulties to the selection and arrangement of the format, the other problems are at most the lengthening of the game time, which may have a slight impact on the actual game world - and this should not be a concern of the league, they just need to run the game well, as for other factors, as long as you are legally obtained from the game, they will not come to you for any problems.
However, recent viewers are also more likely to like to play in the competition by themselves, and while joining in the fun, they also hope that they are lucky enough to go through a few more rounds in the competition, and maybe even eliminate a few black-faced professional players, and make a show in the world of virtual games. But the official of the league naturally does not let such things happen frequently, so as time goes by, more and more rules suitable for "multi-person participation" are formulated, and the rapid increase in the elimination rate also makes the process of the game greatly accelerated.
Some of the league's pros have objected to this because they are likely to capsize in the gutter and lose their chance to qualify, but this is obviously a more equal choice for pros than to play one game at a time, and at the same time, it is easier for pros. In the words of a pro in an interview: "So what? As long as you beat all the other players and be the strongest one, you'll be the strongest. β
No professional player would admit not to have such confidence, as was the case with Nantetsu before him.
"It doesn't matter if you participate early or late, it doesn't matter what the competition system is, as long as you play all the way."
When the black-armored man said this sentence loudly, Duan Qing secretly glanced at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice behind him, who seemed to have no reaction to this sentence at all, and still walked his own way.
What a stubborn woman.
The height of the Falling Star Mountain makes people always feel that it is close in front of them, but after walking for half a day, the huge black mountain within reach seems to be so far away, as if they have walked this part of the road as if they have not walked. Several of them were people who had seen the world, and they knew that it was caused by optical illusions, so they didn't talk too much nonsense, they just tried to move forward, but for Art, who had never come out, the sight in front of him was enough to make him feel hopeless.
"Can we really get to that mountain......
"I'm starting to doubt my life again."
Duan Qing shook his head: "Could it be that you haven't had a successful experience in your life until now?" β
"When, of course there is!"
"Then think about it, for example?"
"For example......" Art held for a long time before he muttered, "I've read all the books......"
"Huh? What book? β
"Related...... Book of the geography of the free continent. β
"No wonder he claims to be a scholar." Duan Qing in the wind and snow shook his head: "But...... You people don't know what it means to be a scholar, do you? β
Art didn't answerβhis face was flushed.
"The kid who is a self-proclaimed scholar." Nan Tieshan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that he has never moved his mouths but not his hands...... Hey, hey, don't be so angry, boy, tell me about your research results, what do you know? β
"Ah, I know a lot!" The mood of the young people of the Nosrid tribe has become a little higher: "For example, the longest river in the world is called the Hongshui River, and the longest bridge in the world is called the Bridge of Miracles. β
He pointed ahead of him, "There is also the highest mountain in the world, which you call the Falling Star Mountain. β
"And to the east of the free continent is the sea, and the sea is a huge lake made up entirely of water. To the north is the desert, said to be the largest desert in the world, where the sea is made up of sand, and ...... The place was very dry, and there was barely any water, so no one had lived there for a long time, and no one knew what that side of the desert was like. β
Perhaps because of the field they are good at, the young man's words became more and more fluent, and his emotions became more and more excited: "There are also plains, hills, waterfalls, forests, and there is a large forest in the south of the continent, which seems to be called the Emerald Forest...... It's an awesome name. β
Duan Qing and Xue Ling Phantom Ice glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads a little helplessly.
"Also, your world is divided into two great tribes, one called the Empire and the other called the Duchy......"
"Stop, stop, I see." Duan Qing stopped the other party's seemingly somewhat deviated understanding, and then raised his finger and began to ask: "Then don't mention any tribe or something, let's talk about the natural landscape...... Where is the Hongshui River? β
"It is said that it is to the north of us, and it flows down the mountain range to the sea to the east......
"And what about the west side of the Free Continent? Why didn't I hear you mention ......?"
"The west side of the continent? I want to think about it...... I remember the book said that there was still a big pool of water, in your words, it should be the ocean...... That's right! It is said that in the southwest of the continent, there is also a snow-capped mountain, and the snow there is like here, and it rains all day long......"
Duan Qing looked towards the other two, and then received an affirmative answer.
"Is it also spurned by the heavens......
"Hey, hey, wake up first." Duan Qing interrupted the other party's fantasy again: "I remember what you said before...... What miracle bridge? Do you still know that thing? β
"Of course, I heard that it was the most magical bridge, but unfortunately I have never been out of the clan's territory, so I didn't have a chance to ......"
The young Norther was depressed again, and Duan Qing shook his head again: "Don't be discouraged, now the Falling Star Mountain is in front of you......"
"Wait a minute."
On the other side, Xue Lingphantom Ice suddenly asked, "You said before...... That mountain is called Falling Star Mountain, isn't it? β
"What's wrong? What is it called if it is not called Falling Star Mountain......"
"What he said at the time was that we called it Falling Star Mountain." The woman interrupted the other people's questions with some impatience, and the eyes under the hood stared straight at the young man: "Then ......"
"What do you Nosrid people call that mountain?"
β......β
This time, it was Art's turn to be silent.
Several people stopped in unison, and then looked at the young man of the Norsr tribe standing there in some silence, clenching his fists tightly, and then slowly releasing them, and after repeating this a few times, he raised his head and looked at the majestic mountain behind the snowstorm.
According to ...... I understand. After a while, Art said slowly, "This mountain has been called by several names, it used to be called 'Akava', 'Snellre', 'Kwarddale'......"
"Can you explain it in words that we can understand?" Duan Qing pinched his eyebrows and interjected.
"It's an ancient language used by the Norsian ancestors, and not many people use it anymore." Art muttered, "But after my research, I should be able to translate the meaning of one of the names." β
"The meaning of that name, in the lingua franca of the mainland, should be 'to step into death'."
The three of them didn't speak, just quietly looked at the young Ice and Snow Clansman who didn't move his gaze, and suddenly there was something indescribable in his heart. It was a familiar feeling that they could feel during their many game adventures.
It's a feeling of smelling danger.
"Your ancestors...... Why is it named after this? Sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Duan Qing hurriedly used this way to shatter the increasingly diffuse sense of loss: "You always need some reason, right?" Is it because there are a lot of dead people on there......
"I don't know." Art shook his head: "I heard those names in many ways, as for the specific meaning......
"Okay, okay, whatever." Duan Qing waved his hand again: "No matter what, we will climb up from here and conquer this mountain." We've all come here, and we're not afraid of anything......"
"I don't know if this is for him or for yourself."
"What's wrong? It's called cheering! I know you've never heard of anyone climbing to the top of this mountain, but isn't that what we're here for? Think about when we first climbed the mountain......"
"Hehe, when I first climbed the mountain...... I guess none of us want to climb to the top. And now that I have walked so far, to such a high height, I can't even see the shadow of the top of the mountain......"
"Don't give up, big brother, didn't you say you would take us to climb the mountain?"
"Then labor and management will not die in vain! Why do we keep doing things we know we can't do? β
"Can't be cowardly, big brother, is it true that the dignified Iron Fist is the one who carries the handle, and there are still two words in the dictionary?"
"Labor and management don't mean that, labor and management just want to think about the possibility of this matter......
"Stop arguing!"
The cold voice suddenly came from the side of everyone, and the rest of the people were shocked by the cold voice, and they all looked in the direction of the woman, wanting to hear what she could say, but they didn't expect the white palm under the cloak to suddenly stretch out and point in a certain direction in front of them.
"Look over there."
"Huh? What's going on over there......"
"Isn't it ......" the woman lowered the brim of her hat: "A stone pillar?" β
After a few seconds of silence, several people began to rush forward, running towards the front of the ridge despite the continuous wind and snow, and before long, the black spot in their vision slowly enlarged in their eyes, gradually turning into a thin black line.
"Good eyesight." Duan Qing looked at the woman and said with some appreciation, "It's really a stone pillar...... Look, look! I'm going to say we can do it...... Belch. β
The pillar is located on the side of the ridge, a little lower on the left slope. It stands quietly between the white slopes and the wind and snow, and the nearest rock, also located more than ten meters away from that place, has a maverick feeling. Had it not been for the blizzard's hindrance, several adventurers would have been able to spot the free-standing pillar from farther away, though they had now carefully slid down the slope and made their way to it.
"It doesn't seem to be any different from the previous stone pillar." After inspecting the appearance of the stone pillar up and down, Duan Qing first came to a conclusion: "There is no abnormality, and there are no characteristics...... I really don't know if this is bad news or good news for us. β
"At least that shows that these pillars exist in this area." Nan Tieshan crossed his arms and looked at the top of the stone pillar: "And...... There may be more to come. β
Several of them looked in unison to the top of the ridge - along the highest part of the snow hill in their eyes, the white still stretched in their eyes, and then gradually became less and less, until finally the white snow line disappeared to a higher height.
As the slope rises steeply, it becomes more and more difficult for the snow and ice to accumulate on the exposed rocks, and the black rock mass gradually occupies the higher elevations, and together with the white snow in the rock crevices, it forms a black and white alpine scene. However, everyone still found some strange bumps on the black and white junction not far away.
"That ......" Looking at the area, Duan Qing slowly asked the young man of the Norsr clan, "Yat, those divine shadows that your clan has discovered......
"Is it just a stone pillar?"
Above them, on the slope not far from the ridge, a low stone pier stood silently, and although from their vantage point of view, the dwarf thing was covered by the color of the black rock mass behind it, but it was so close that several people could still tell the presence of the protruding thing.
"I don't know." Art also looked in that direction: "But anything that can show miracles should be called a divine shadow by the clansmen......"
"So what exactly is a miracle?" Nan Tieshan shouted from the side, and then walked forward with some indignation: "Do you really need magic to test?" I knew that I would have brought a few brothers from the guild here, and we still have one or two mages in the Iron Fist Gang......"
"Not necessarily." Duan Qing also followed behind and said, "Considering the characteristics of the Norsr clan, maybe it has something to do with the bloodline...... Uh, is there such a setting in the free world? β
"Anyway, let's go up and have a look."
Looking at the figures of two people striding up in the wind and snow, Art suddenly heard the low laughter of a woman coming from behind, he turned around, only to see a pair of bright eyes under the black hood: "What ideal, goal..... This is an adventurer. β
"But hopefully it continues, doesn't it?"
