Chapter 1: Wedges
In the north of the Odin continent, there is a permafrost formed by snow all year round, which is called the Far North Ice Field. Because of the scarcity of plants, it also has another nickname - "cold desert".
The white snow and ice not only cover the entire land, but also expand into the sea in some places. The thickness can even reach several thousand meters in some places.
Infinite demonic beasts, harsh ice field environment, blocking the gaze of all human prying eyes. In the north of the continent, there is a very famous proverb - no one can go into the depths of the ice field, just as no one can pluck the moon in the sky. This shows the extremely harsh environment of the ice field.
But every year, there are still countless adventurers who come forward to follow suit, in addition to hunting monsters to obtain fur cores, it is for the prophecy that Holy Magister Reze left before his death.
The archmage spent his life searching for the ultimate meaning of magicβthe primordial meaning of magic where the world came into being from nothing and everything took shape. He is known as the closest mage to a god, and is a rare legendary powerhouse in human history. On his deathbed, he said:
When the ice field gathers the blood of all spirits, the colorful light shines on the world, and the ice field seal that has been silent for ten thousand years will be opened, and I will put everything there, you can go and find it, get my life's treasure, inherit my magic mastery, and get a glimpse of the opportunity to become a god.
The adventurers on the continent of Odin who heard the rumors frantically flocked to the ice field, so they ...... A lot of people died.
......
Towers!Towers!
The glacier, which had been silent for 10,000 years, was suddenly broken by a sound of footsteps of different shades, and black dots turned out from behind the peaks, becoming clearer and clearer in the wind and snow.
The team consisted of thirty-nine people, and four improvised sleds were guarded in the middle, and a long queue was densely formed, marching silently against the cold wind.
At the head of the line was a young man dressed in a thin samurai suit, with a flirtatious smile on his face even in this harsh environment. He carried a wide-rimmed giant sword with a golden body on his right shoulder, the giant sword was one meter six or seven long, and with his height of one meter nine, a terrifying momentum rushed towards him.
Behind him were four warriors, with a smell of blood, although they were only wearing simple fur jackets made of monster fur, but they looked very powerful, carrying weapons made of beast bones and walking forward, their eyes always sweeping vigilantly to both sides.
Behind the four samurai, there were simple sleigh cars, all pulled by four pure white ice and snow wolves without any miscellaneous hair, all the sled cars were surrounded by curtains, embroidered with some lines of golden silk thread, which looked inconspicuous, like the symbol of a certain family, but whenever the cold wind blew, these cumbersome patterns would emit a faint light, spontaneously resisting the cold wind.
The team continued to move at a steady pace, slowing down as the cold wind blew up. Suddenly, all the Ice Demon Wolves stopped, trembling all over, and let out a whining sound, looking extremely frightened.
Soon after, the sky began to drift with snow, which became more gloomy, and the howling cold wind became more and more intense, and soon the whole world was confused by ice and snow.
Shout!
A strange sound sounded, and the man in the samurai suit looked up, and an ice pick came towards him, and he waved his giant sword with one hand, seemingly slow but coming first, blocking the flight path of the ice pick. With a crisp crash, the ice picks shattered into a cloud of ice powder.
Seeing this, the four samurai all showed happy looks, and the man in the samurai uniform turned solemn, and a pair of thick black eyebrows were raised high.
Sure enough, followed by countless sharp voices, which swept over the sky and the earth, making the faces of the four warriors change greatly!
"It's a froststorm!"
Frost storms are uncommon on ice sheets, not always once in a few months, but when they do, they can be devastating. Froststorm is a forbidden spell in magic, but compared to the powerful magic forbidden spell of the same name from humans, the naturally formed Froststorm is no less than that, if not greater. The extremely freezing air flow blew through the ice peaks like a tornado, bringing up countless ice edges to destroy the heavens and the earth!
What's worse is that the storm passes by, obscuring the sky and the sun, the vision is suppressed from a few meters away, and countless ice crevasses and deep pits are hidden on the ice surface, which will become an even more deadly crisis.
In the face of the terrifying Tianwei, although the team was a little riotous at first, it immediately adjusted, and the samurai quickly assembled, blocking the front of the team, and trying their best to intercept the flying icicles.
It's just that the icicles are getting more and more powerful and dense, and the samurai are already having some difficulty resisting.
Out of the first sleigh came a middle-aged man, dressed in black and gold magician robes, with a cold face, and as he raised his right hand, a magic wand appeared in his hand.
The magic wand is only half cut, broken from the middle, the stubble is shocking, and the remaining half is about the length of a small arm, and the top of the wand is inlaid with a huge colorful crystal, which is extremely conspicuous on the white ice field.
The man let out a cold snort, silently recited the incantation in his mouth, and waved his wand lightly in his right hand, and the crystal on the top of the wand emitted a cloud of green light, which spread out after a while, spreading into a semicircular magic shield with a diameter of tens of meters, enveloping everyone.
At this moment, the sky was covered by wind and snow, and the dazzling white ice field instantly became dim, leaving only the green magic shield standing on the ice field, and countless wind blades and ice blades kept hitting the magic shield, causing ripples.
With such a large range of defensive magic, it seemed to be quite difficult for the man, and as the storm continued to impact the shield, the man's face gradually turned a little pale.
The man in the samurai suit carrying the golden sword was not idle, he thrust the sword into the ground, and a narrow crack spread out into the distance, and everywhere the crack was made, the hard ice surface was reduced to pieces.
"Action!"
With his order, all the warriors gathered and quickly carried the broken ice into shape, and in just a few moments, an ice cave appeared under the ice.
The mouth of the ice cave is not large, only the size of a person, with the steps spread down layer by layer, the man in the samurai suit strode down the steps, a few meters later, the eyes suddenly became clear, the ice room opened up appeared in front of him, several large ice rooms appeared in front of him, any room was more than enough to accommodate more than 20 people, the samurai looked around to confirm that it was safe, and then came out and nodded lightly to a woman in a skirt next to the sleigh.
The woman nodded in response, leaned over and approached the sleigh cart, and said respectfully to the people inside through the curtain on the car: "Your Highness, there is a frost storm blowing ahead, rest for a while, and then move forward after the storm has passed." β
"Anna," a somewhat delicate voice came from the sleigh, "don't call me Your Highness, and if you call me Your Highness, I won't recognize you as a sister." β
The curtain was lifted, and a woman who looked twenty-seven or eight years old stepped out of the sleigh, with long brown hair falling behind her back like a waterfall, wearing a pale blue thick leather jacket, her abdomen was obviously arched, and a pair of watery eyes were embedded in her unpowdered face.
"But ......"
"It's nothing, the kingdom is gone," said this, and there was a trace of sadness in the woman's soft eyes: "Where is there any Royal Highness, you and I grew up together since childhood, like sisters, just call me Peiya in the future"
"Yes, Your Highness...... Peya. β
Peiya stepped out of the car, and her soft gaze turned to the spell caster, the man's back was straight, and the hem of the black and gold magician's robe fluttered in the wind, rising a little bit of power for no reason.
She looked at the man's back, as if she wanted to say something, opened her mouth slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything, silently turned around and walked towards the ice cave, Anna hurriedly came over and carefully supported her, stepped on the stairs, and entered the innermost ice room, and everyone behind her followed closely behind all entered, guarding the ice room outside.
Only the man in the samurai suit and the man in the magician suit remained on the ice, and after everyone entered, the magician seemed to have reached the limit, and his body trembled violently.
The samurai man's face changed, his figure changed, and he moved to the man's side in an instant, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was rejected by shaking his hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine,"
The caster narrowed the range of the magic shield to his body, then raised his magic wand again, and a six-pointed star flashed, and the entrance to the ice cave disappeared into the ice.
The man's standing body shook a little, rested a little, closed his eyes, sensed for a moment, and suddenly pointed to the east and said, "One thousand five hundred meters, there is a snow cave...... Over to you. β
"Roger!" the man in the samurai suit let out a strange cry, holding his greatsword in front of him and plunging headlong into the snow.
The continuous casting made the middle-aged man's face even paler, he took a deep breath, took out a sixth-level magic core and absorbed it, as the color of the magic core dimmed, the man's complexion became slightly ruddy, and the magic wand waved again, and the white light on the colorful gem flashed, and the man appeared in the ice cave.
"Are you alright? Seeing him appear, Peiya stepped forward anxiously, her eyes overflowing with concern.
"It's okay," the man looked at her gently, and smiled reluctantly: "If it weren't for that flat-haired beast that broke the Holy Magic Staff, what could I do about the frost storm, rest assured, it's just that the magic power is overdrawn for a while, it doesn't have much effect, and you can recover after meditating for a while." β
Is it really okay?, the woman was still a little worried.
"The frost storm will probably blow for another day, Zhan is looking for food, and he should be back soon, so I'll meditate and adjust first. β
Peiya looked at the man's face, her eyes turned red instantly, and tears couldn't stop flowing: "It's all my fault for dragging you down, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be like this." β
"Don't worry, it's really fine. Guli Kalias smiled softly, gently wiped the tears from Peya's face, and sat cross-legged on the ground, closing her eyes in meditation.
It took a long time for the samurai's figure to reappear in the snow and ice, only to sink deep into the ice with every step, and a huge blood-stained beast was dragged behind him.
"Huh?" Guli's face changed, he disappeared in place in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the samurai, looking at the ragged samurai, he couldn't help frowning, and the magic staff in his right hand waved, and a ray of light enveloped the samurai, and the fourth-level magic of the light system - the healing of light was cast.
"Boss, your instantaneous magic is so cool. The man in the samurai suit named Zhan Mars, though tired and unconcerned, let out a comfortable groan and threw the snow elephant forward with a loud rumbling sound.
Guli asked suspiciously, "A seventh-level snow elephant wouldn't make you so embarrassed, how could you make such a big move?"
Zhan smiled bitterly: "Boss, you can see clearly, this is a seventh-level mutated snow elephant, and it is not much better than an eighth-level demonic beast to fight." β
Gully looked abrupt, nodded, didn't say much, pressed one hand on Zhan's shoulder, and the two disappeared on the ice together.
The storm on the ice sheet is getting stronger and stronger, obscuring the sky and the sun. In the ice cave, after the warriors saluted Guli in silence, they took the snow elephant and walked outside to skillfully divide the meat pieces and make a fire to roast the meat.
When the storm faded away, everyone stepped onto the ice again and began a new trek.
Half a month later, on the distant horizon, a mountain range high above the sky went deep into the clouds, as if a huge palm was about to pierce the sky from the ground.
