Verse 437: The End of the World
The frozen continent was indeed unfit for life, and Norman felt this very well.
Being in the frozen continent, as far as the eye can see, everything is snow-white, and there is no second color in the entire continent except white.
It's a world of snow and ice.
The most terrifying thing is that even the sun seems to be afraid of the cold here, and the whole world is pitch black, only half a moon hangs in the sky, sprinkling a dim light and barely giving light to this world. But these lights are enough for the dragons, enough for them to see this snow-white world clearly.
And in such darkness, there is a little light in a certain part of the ice and land that is very dazzling, and if you look closely, you can see that it is a person.
It's Norman.
He was standing on the ice at the moment, his body exuding a rainbow of light, his head tilted up, and he looked at the scene in front of him with a serious expression.
The dragon explorers who had returned from the frozen continent had said that although the environment of the frozen continent was harsh, the dragons were still able to barely move with their strong physique, but that was for normal dragons.
Although Norman has also cultivated the "Funeral Heart Sutra", but his cultivation time is too short, even if he makes rapid progress, compared with those dragons who have been cultivating for hundreds of years, his cultivation on the "Funeral Heart Sutra" is still too shallow, which leads to his inability to completely rely on his body to resist the cold of the Frozen Continent, and he also needs to constantly use level 5 buffer energy damage to assist, plus his inhuman body that has practiced the "Funeral Heart Sutra", this can only survive on the Frozen Continent.
For a white-robed mage, the consumption of level 5 spells is not too high, but it is absolutely unbearable to maintain it permanently for 24 hours, but Norman is one of the outliers: with the help of the Heart Sutra of Catching the Sea, he meditates all the time, which allows his magic to keep up with the consumption rate.
The two heart sutras of "Funeral Sun Heart Sutra" and "Catching the Sea Heart Sutra" are intertwined, so that Norman can survive on the frozen continent, and both are indispensable.
But no one cared about that now, and everyone's attention was focused on the scene in front of them.
In front of the Normans was a vast ice field, which at first glance seemed to be no different from the rest of the frozen continent, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was strange.
In the ice field in front of them, strange colors often flashed in the space above the ground, and the scene of the same space often changed. It's a very indescribable feeling, and if I have to compare it, it's like a whole piece of transparent glass is constantly shattering.
It was a moat, and Norman was familiar with the sight as he flew all the way through.
"The end of the world, this must be the end of the world......"
A muttering voice came from Norman's left side of the air.
It was a green dragon, and a pair of eyes were staring at the scene in front of him, and it was from his mouth that these words came out of his mouth.
He was Zhang Han, one of the two dragons who followed Shen Junzhu back to Lin'an and ascended to the Temple of Heaven, and this time he opened up the road of glory, and he walked with Norman as a representative of the opposition side.
In addition to Zhang Han and Norman, there were two dragons present, namely the green dragon standing on Norman's right side, his old acquaintance Qin Hao, and Chen Qinghe standing behind Norman. Qin Hao is a representative of the royalist faction, Chen Qinghe is a representative of the opposition party, plus Norman and Zhang Han, this is also all the travelers of this new world exploration trip after the negotiation of the court meeting.
It's been ten days since Norman and the others left the Northlands. Of those ten days, they spent seven days passing through the windless belt and three days on the frozen continent, only now, they finally had to stop, because they had encountered the moat.
It stands to reason that the moats on the continent should be at a very high altitude, and the rest of the Frozen Continent does abide by this rule, but as they go further north, the more the moats on the Frozen Continent do not obey this rule, and the lower the moats become, until here, the moats are directly connected to the ground and are no longer passable.
They seemed to have reached the end of the world, so it was no wonder that Zhang Han would say something like that.
Could this really be the end of the world? The Knights Templar had finally miscalculated? The so-called Path of Glory did not exist? He still needed to waste an unknown number of years in the Dragons?......
Norman kept his mouth shut, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.
At this time, Qin Hao, who was standing on Norman's right side, spoke.
"Demons. โ
This voice pulled Norman's thoughts back for a moment.
After he glanced up at Qin Hao, he followed his gaze and saw a huge figure not far from their right.
The figure was generally in the form of a human, standing facing the moat in front of him, four or five meters tall.
The figure was surrounded by ice, an irregular cone that encased the giant, and the bottom part was connected to the ice land.
He stood like an ice sculpture facing the moat.
This is the demon race, in the three days that Norman has seen several in the frozen continent, there are all kinds of dead postures, and because of the special weather of the frozen continent, their corpses have been preserved intact.
It seems that the days of these demons being blocked by the wall of the sky in the realm of the northern land are not easy, and they have also thought about finding a new world from the windless zone, but their physique is not as good as the dragon clan, even if some of them come to the frozen continent, they will die here after all. Even the most powerful of them had no choice after coming here after allโfrom the posture of this demon, Norman seemed to be able to travel through time and space to feel his despair at that time.
"Let's go back. โ
Chen Qinghe, who had been silent standing behind Norman, finally spoke, "Father God deceived you, although I don't know why he came to you that day to descend on a dragon descendant, but he should also see your dragon bloodline, and God will not help the dragon clan." โ
Get back?
Norman was not reconciled, but they really couldn't go any further.
After discovering the anomaly of the moat in the north of the frozen continent, they had already made an effort: they had followed the moat all the way to the east, but in the end they found that it was still the moat, and they had also followed the moat all the way to the west, and in the end it was still the moat.
The moat was like a bowl on the table, which had sealed all the roads of the Frozen Continent to the north, and the only feasible way was the way from the south. So even if Norman is no longer reconciled, they now have only one way left.
Get back.
Norman stood silently for a while, and the reluctance in his chest gradually calmed down.
Keep waiting......
His mouth was slightly open, and he was about to give the order to return, when Lancelot's voice suddenly came.
"Take out the astrolabe, we're going to do the final check!"
