Chapter 54: Frozen Forest, World of Warcraft (Part I)

Chapter 54 [Frozen Forest, World of Warcraft] (I)

What made Du Wei depressed was that everything the old magician bought was Du Wei's money. When Du Wei was arrested, he also carried a money bag with him, which also contained more than 100 gold coins.

In a hurry, he put on a leather jacket, a sheepskin hat, a thick brim covering his ears, snow boots, and a waist knife...... Du Wei already looked a little bit like the adventurers who often came to adventure in the frozen forest.

Out of the hotel, a small sleigh had been parked outside, and four sturdy gray snow dogs were lying on the ground honestly.

There was very little space on the sleigh, and Du Wei had to huddle together with the old magician, who was still in the same white robe...... This guy doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all. And Du Wei leaned close to him and discovered the mystery. The old guy didn't know what spell he had done, and when he got close to him, Du Wei seemed to be by the fire, and the old magician's body exuded warmth.

"Hmph, is it amazing?" Du Wei snorted.

However, he was curious that the sleigh did not have a driver.

This old magician is an "all-rounder", and he even knows how to drive a sled, and he didn't see him shouting anything, just sitting on the sled, and the magician said softly, "Let's go!"

The four sturdy sled dogs on the ground in front of them immediately began to run with all their might! Where to turn and where to slow down, without the slightest need for the old magician to control it, the sled dogs honestly ran with the sleds, and on the white snow, the sled dragged out a long mark, and went north.

Although he was wearing a leather jacket and a hat, Du Wei still felt that the skin on his face was painful due to the cold wind, and he couldn't open his eyes, so he could only rely on the hot old magician as much as possible to absorb a little warmth.

The cold wind of the north is made of knives...... Whether in his previous life or in this life, Du Wei lived in the south, and he had never been to the north at all.

Along the way, the nasty old magician and this damn ghost weather!

The sun was still hanging overhead, but there was no warmth at all, Du Wei's body shrunk into a ball, and not long after, under his nose, the snot had condensed into a string of ice edges, ** wiped, almost tore off a piece of flesh, and the painful Du Wei's tears were almost coming down.

The Frozen Forest is located in the northern part of the continent...... It is said that this is the northernmost part of the continent.

This is also the official "border" of the Roland Empire, and under normal circumstances, the subjects of the empire are not allowed to continue north.

Further north, the frozen forest is not just a cold storm and snow that freezes to death, and there is more than just an endless forest...... What's more, this is one of only two areas on the continent where Warcraft is extremely active!

At the southern end of the Frozen Forest, the Empire has a legion of troops. The Tempest Legion in the north of the empire is spread out along the southern edge of the Frozen Forest, and all the roads leading to the Frozen Forest are set up with checkpoints......

Of course, these are just plain.

But secretly, there are still many mercenary teams that go to adventure in the frozen forest every year, and there are also some small adventure teams...... These people tend to have a little bit of ability. Those terrifying demonic beasts in the frozen forest are golden coins in the eyes of these people!

The furs and cores of those various magical beasts, if they can be hunted, can be sold for a lot of money when they are transported to the south.

The attitude of the Empire towards this almost semi-open "smuggling" activity was, in fact, "acquiescing".

The armies strolling along the southern border of the Frozen Forest were actually only preventing ordinary people from entering the dangerous area, while adventurers with special skills, such as mages or high-ranking samurai, often managed to evade the army's patrols and searches. And some of the larger adventuring teams even dared to confront small patrolling armies for the sake of smuggling!

Although there are a few strongmen like magicians, there are really a lot of warriors. In the face of the benefits of risk-taking, there are still many people who are willing to fight with their heads on their shoulders.

In the town where Du Wei and the old magician set off to the north, after walking for less than half a day, Du Wei and the others came to a checkpoint and looked at the imperial soldiers wearing white leather robes...... These men from the north are obviously much more cold than Du Wei, and there are even some high-ranking samurai, wearing only leather vests, showing their hairy chests, and bare-chested, just next to the checkpoint, grabbing a lot of snow in the ice and snow to scrub their bodies. While wiping, he also shouted and sang loudly.

This level was built on the continent and was built without stones...... The frozen soil in the north is harder than stone, as long as you dig out some relatively soft soil to pile up during the warmest time of summer, and then pour water, a night of cold wind is enough to freeze a solid earthen wall!

Looking at the soldiers wearing thick white leather robes, leather hats on their heads, and ice edges hanging from their hats, Du Wei didn't know whether to be amazed or admired. He just shrunk tightly anyway.

The old magician whistled, and the four snowdogs stopped in front of the level.

There were about 100 soldiers in front of this level, seeing that in the ice and snow, a small sleigh came over and stopped in front of them, and everyone immediately surrounded them, and those soldiers reached out and touched their waist knives intentionally or unintentionally, and the strong man who grabbed snow in the ice and snow to bathe was obviously the captain here, and immediately threw away the snow in his hand, grabbed a spear and strode over.

In the snow, this warrior ran extremely fast, three times and two times in front of Du Wei, from a visual point of view, this guy can be called a "barbarian", the long beard almost covers one-third of his face, looks extremely rough, look at his running in the snow, think about the martial arts is also quite good.

These soldiers blocked the road, and someone was about to speak, but when he saw the old magician's clothes, he immediately closed his mouth!

These soldiers of the northern control frozen forest are well-informed, and there are magicians who like to come here all the year round, and catch a few rare magical beasts in the forest, and the magic core is the magic material that magicians like.

As soon as these people looked at the old magician's clothes, they knew the identity of the other party...... Although, the old magician didn't have any magician-level badge on his clothes.

In fact, this is also a common thing in the frozen forest...... The magicians who come here know the ban of the empire, although the status of the magician is transcendent, but it is still impossible to openly argue with the empire, so in order to hide their identity, they will not hang their magic level badges, so that on the one hand, they show their identity as a magician to deter the soldiers who block the way, and on the other hand, they also hide their true name and identity.

After all, there are not many magicians on the mainland, if you hang a badge, the other party knows your level, if you really want to settle the account, go back to the magician's union to check, how many levels of magicians, what they look like, you can basically find out.

Therefore, in the frozen forest, it is already a semi-public habit for magicians to wear only mage robes but not badges...... This is called "doing bad things without leaving a name".

Du Wei's eyes widened, and he looked a little excited. In his opinion, it was definitely hopeless for this small group of soldiers to block the road, although Du Wei didn't know how powerful this old guy was...... But with his ability to train Vivien's kind of magical genius, he can easily send a dragon as a gift to his apprentice...... This kind of guy, can he be so small?

If it were to start, Du Wei bet that in a few seconds at most, the magician would be able to get all the hundred and ten soldiers to lie down.

But Du Wei was disappointed.

The old magician unhurriedly stopped the sleigh, and then groped in his bosom for a long time before pulling out a crumpled piece of parchment - there is a habit in the wizard circles that they do not like to use any ordinary paper, and everything that needs to be written literally, they use parchment.

"Gentlemen, I have here a copy of the Wizards' Guild. The old magician smiled and handed the parchment to the barbarian warrior, "The Magicians' Guild has given me the privilege of entering the frozen forest. ”

Looking at this kind-looking old magician, the samurai who led the team was stunned.

Although he seems to be rough, he also has a plan in his heart. After being ordered to guard the entrance of this frozen forest over the years, he can be regarded as well-informed, and the magicians he has met are not one or two.

Often, those magicians are all guys with eyes above the top. Either they just cast a spell and fly straight over, or a gust of wind swept over, so that these soldiers couldn't even touch a shadow.

Or, show your hand in public, shock the soldiers, and then swagger past.

After all, these are all conventions, and everyone knows that if the magician really wants to break in, such a hundred and ten people will definitely not be able to stop it.

However, this kind magician, politely took out a legal official document, and looked like a negotiation, but it is really a bit rare!

With a suspicious expression, the captain samurai turned out to be this crumpled parchment.

I don't know how many years this thing in my hand is, the handwriting has been a little blurred, and there is even some denitrification on the sheepskin, which is tattered, and the captain carefully holds it in his hand, for fear that it will be broken.

But take a look at the text on it...... The captain couldn't help but change his face, and almost stared out his eyes!

"There is hereby an official letter, and those who hold this official letter shall enter the frozen forest unconditionally, and no person from the imperial party or the imperial place shall stop it! This official letter is valid for ...... One hundred years!!"

What the fuck is this? Effective for a hundred years?

This old guy can't be fooling me, is he?" the captain couldn't help but start thinking crankily when he saw this. He's met some scammers......

We all know that in this place, the army generally does not dare to stop magicians, and there are also some liars who get a magician's robe to fool people.

But look at the signature underneath the document......

"Emperor of the Roland Empire, Augustin V & President of the Roland Continent Magicians Guild Zuridya. ”

A document signed by His Majesty the Emperor and the President of the Magicians' Guild?

And, what's more.

The signed Emperor, Augustine V, has been dead for sixty years! And the current president of the Roland Continent Magician Guild has long since been replaced! The president on the signature also died of illness forty years ago at the age of one hundred and nineteen!

The signatures of the former Emperor of the Empire and the former President of the Wizards' Guild?

What's the origin of this guy?

The captain can naturally identify whether this thing is real or fake! The signature can be forged, but the seal on it cannot be forged! The seal of His Majesty the Emperor and the seal of the president of the Magician Guild all have magic security marks!

When you get the document in your hand, the two seals will slowly appear on the parchment, and then slowly disappear......

The captain was immediately in awe!

The identity of this old magician in front of him must be a cow to a certain extent! At least he is an old man of the same era as the former emperor of the empire and the former president of the magician guild!

This kind of person, a small captain of his own can never afford to offend!

Even the captain couldn't help but guess...... Valid for 100 years...... How old does this old guy have to be this year?

He respectfully rolled up the parchment, sent it to the magician with both hands, and said in a polite tone: "Your Excellency the Magician, welcome to the Frozen Forest! The 27th Patrol of the White Wolf Infantry Regiment under the Northern Storm Legion of the Empire salutes you! What else do you want, we will try our best to cooperate!"

The old magician was very polite: "No, just please get out of the way." ”

In a word, the soldiers who stopped in front of the road retreated, and even took the initiative to quickly sweep out the snow in front of the pass, and then lined up to see off the old magician's sleigh.

Seeing that the level was far behind him, Du Wei couldn't help but ask, "What is that document...... Is it true?"

"Really......" The old magician replied lightly, "However, today is the last day of the validity period." ”

Du Wei stuck out his tongue: "Last day?"

He looked at the old magician's side face and couldn't help but ask, "You...... How old are you?"

"Little friend, has the tutor of the Rollin family degenerated to such an extent? The old magician smiled and said, "I...... Why, my age ......."

Speaking of this, a hint of melancholy flashed in the old magician's eyes: "I can't even remember it myself." ”
