Game of the World Tree Chapter 929: Sunrise and Dawn (7): Barrier

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!

The mainland information of Dawn World is quite rich.

Although the players have only entered this map for less than two years, their adventurous nature has already penetrated various regions of the continent...

Perhaps it is not possible to form a detailed map of the continent yet, but a rough outline and a preliminary understanding of each region is more than enough.

The same is true for the Ice Castle of the Imperial Academy of Magic.

The information on the Western Continent compiled by players does not have detailed records of the Ice Castle.

However, it can also be seen from a few words that before the catastrophe, this magic academy located on the top of the mountain gathered the best of the mage profession from the entire continent...

Looking at the records in the system information, Tony couldn't help but look at Athos as well.

If he remembered correctly, the only son of this old mage who had a broken family was studying at the Imperial Academy of Magic.

After the catastrophe, roads across the continent were blocked, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the pollution in the abyss continued to spread. People could only hide in Tibet to survive.

Athos and others are probably here for the first time since the catastrophe.

At the same time, if Tony's guess is correct, maybe they don't even know the current situation of the Imperial Academy of Magic.

They are not players. They can ignore life and death and explore the continent map even if they want to die.

They also do not have a game system for players to share data.

"Athos...after that, did you get any news about the ice castle?"

After a moment of silence, Bols asked in a deep voice.

Athos was silent for a long time and sighed:

"No."

There was another long silence.

Ice Castle is the holy land of the mage profession, with strong people like the clouds.

If there is no news after the catastrophe, then I am afraid... it is the worst news.

Everyone witnessed the disaster with their own eyes, and they knew very well that in that horrific disaster, the most dangerous people were not ordinary people, but powerful professionals.

The stronger the strength, the greater the crisis we face.

Similarly, Ice Castle, which has many magisters and even legendary mages, was probably also greatly affected by that incident...

Obviously, the ending of this academy may not be optimistic.

No news is the worst news...

As a holy place for mages, there are countless ways to deliver messages.

The complete loss of contact is enough to explain some problems.

"How about... let's change our route, go south or north, and use support... The Chosen Ones are not far away from us. We just need to delay them for enough time until they join us. There is no need to continue heading east."

Tony suggested.

Actually, what he most wanted to suggest was to simply rest in place for two days, but this method was just a thought.

The magic energy core they carry with them, which continuously absorbs magic power and attracts fallen creatures, will never allow them to stay in place for three days.

The longer they stay in one place, the more corrupted creatures are targeting them, and the more dangerous the group becomes.

It won't work even if Tony's power is no longer what it used to be.

He is not yet able to fight one against a hundred, let alone if he is unlucky and attracts a tide of beasts, then the enemies he has to face will not be hundreds, but thousands, endless...

Tony made a proposal to change the route, and for a while, Bols and Ramis' eyes stayed on Athos.

Athos was silent for a moment and nodded slowly:

"Yes, the terrain of Snow Man Mountain is complicated, and there are probably many fallen mages there, so the level of danger must be very high."

"Turn south or north is a good choice, as long as you stick to it for a few days."

Seeing Athos agree, Tony and others breathed a sigh of relief.

They turned their attention to Milaire, who was leading the team, only to find that the female mage was looking at the old map with her lips pursed and her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong? Milaire, have you encountered any problems?"

Lamisi asked.

"I did encounter a problem..."

Miler let out a long sigh.

As she spoke, she spread the map on the ground, and while calling a few people to come forward to check, she pointed to a certain location on the map and said:

"Look, everyone, we are in this direction now, and if we go eastward, we will reach Snow Man Mountain."

"The terrain in this area is complex. If we change direction to the north, we will enter the eastern basin, which was once the holy land of the Eternal Church in the Dawn World. After the cataclysm, it is probably the place where the most horrific fall... ”

"With our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass through that hellish restricted area."

"And if we change direction and go south, then... we will enter a poisonous swamp."

"The Toxic Swamp was an extremely harsh area long before the Cataclysm. Now that the entire world has been polluted, the situation there will only become more severe..."

"Everyone, whether we turn to the north or the south, the dangers we encounter are no less than those in Xueman Mountain, and even...maybe more."

Mireir closed the map and smiled bitterly.

"Then... let's just continue walking in circles in the canyon forest. Although the concentration of magic here is not low, at least... we are almost familiar with the monsters."

Tony said.

"I'm afraid it won't work..."

Mireir glanced at the sky and sighed.

"Isn't it going to work?"

Tony was stunned.

"Yes, Sir Tony, look at the clouds in the sky, are they a little more crimson than before?"

Mireir pointed to the sky.

Then she explained:

"That's a sign of a magic power explosion. I'm afraid it may happen at any time in the past few days. If the magic power breaks out, it will inevitably be accompanied by a deeper spread of pollution. At the same time, areas with a large number of monsters such as canyons and forests will still be affected. There is a great possibility that a terrifying super beast wave will break out..."

"Super Beast Tide..."

Tony looked solemn.

After entering the game, he heard about the Super Beast Tide more than once, whether it was from NPCs, in the world channel, or while surfing the Internet to check information about the Dawn World of "Elf Kingdom" during his break.

Both NPCs and players, when it comes to the super beast tide, they all look like they are facing a formidable enemy.

According to the official website, if you encounter a tide of super beasts in the wild, no matter how strong your team of players is, you will suffer...

Obviously, for everyone, if they continue to wander in the canyon forest, they may step into a situation of no return.

"Sorry, everyone... I was the one who proposed to keep heading east. If we had changed our thinking at the beginning and only moved towards less dangerous areas, we might not be as passive as we are today."

Tony said apologetically.

However, the strong warrior Bols patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Sir Tony, what are you blaming yourself for? Going all the way east is a joint decision of our team, not to mention that the beast tide is approaching, we should try our best to meet the reinforcements as soon as possible. Besides, , after a catastrophe, no matter how safe a place is, it may contain fatal dangers."

"Yes, danger is always there. After the catastrophe, no place is truly safe."

Ramis also nodded and said.

"Don't change direction, just keep walking! Compared to other places, although the climate in Xueman Mountain is a bit harsh, it is better after all."

While the two warriors were comforting Tony, the old mage Athos suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but cast their gazes at him, but stopped talking.

Noting the looks cast by his companions, the old mage smiled slightly.

He touched his worn-out staff, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and sighed:

"What should be faced must be faced eventually. I also want to know what is going on with the Ice Castle now."

After speaking, he looked at everyone and said with a smile:

"Furthermore, I heard from the Archmage that the Snowy Mountain is covered with a giant magic circle that calms the magic. If you enter there, the ability of the energy-gathering core to attract fallen creatures may be much weaker."

……

After some discussion, everyone finally moved on and entered the scope of Xueman Mountain.

As they continued to advance, the forest behind them gradually faded away and disappeared among the mountains, and in everyone's eyes, only the white snow gradually remained.

Snowman Mountain, as the name suggests, is a mountain covered by heavy snow.

Even if it is not located in the polar regions, whether it is the peak or the foothills of this mountain range, it is always cold and frozen all year round, and it is covered in ice for ten miles.

Everyone put on thick spare coats, braved the wind and snow, and continued to move eastward.

On this journey, perhaps because of the diffusion of white snow, the whole world seemed to be much brighter, not as dim as before.

As we continue walking, the temperature gradually becomes lower and lower, the wind sounds louder and louder, and the snowflakes become denser and denser...

At the same time, the group of people walked further and further away.

Fortunately, apart from the bad weather, no one encountered even a single fallen monster along the way.

Although the smell of pollution still lingers, there is only the howling wind in the snow-capped mountains.

By the way, although Athos said he wanted to go to the Ice Castle, he rejected the idea when everyone actually entered Snowman Mountain.

"After all, there were a large number of high-level mages living in Ice Castle. It may be very dangerous there now. There is no need for us to put ourselves in crisis. We should take a detour."

He said.

After hearing his words, everyone had mixed expressions, but they also agreed with his decision.

This is an escort, not an adventure. The dangers that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible.

So, everyone walked around the main peak of Xueman Mountain and continued to advance from the side, climbing one hillside after another.

Finally, after they climbed up a hill again, they finally saw the end of Snow Man Mountain.

It is said to be the end, but in fact it is still far away from the group of people.

But standing on the top of the hill, looking into the distance despite the wind and snow, I could already see the dark green woodland in the distance.

"Look! It's a forest! It must be the eastern forest! After climbing a few more mountains, we can leave the scope of Xueman Mountain!"

Miler said excitedly.

Eastern forest! I seem to see green... In other words, the pollution there may be much lighter! ”

Boers looked into the distance with excitement.

They haven't seen a pure forest for a long time.

"After all, we are in the east. The closer we are to Dawn Fortress, the lighter the pollution will be. If we get to Dawn Fortress, we can breathe truly fresh air."

Athos smiled gently.

"Hey, looking at this distance, maybe we can walk out of Xueman Mountain in a few days."

Ramis also said expectantly.

However, he soon encountered Tony’s ridicule:

"How many days? Mr. Ramis, we can't leave for a few days. The supporting Chosen Ones will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. By then, we will just fly away!"

"Real or fake? A flying World of Warcraft? I have never been on a Flying World of Warcraft in my life! What kind of creature is it? Can you tell me?"

Lamis’s eyes widened in anticipation.

"Haha, you will know it when we meet."

Tony laughed.

"Let's go, it's going downhill, I can finally walk a little easier."

He stretched and continued walking forward.

However, just when Tony took a step forward, he was bounced back as if he hit an invisible wall...

Faint ripples rippled in the space and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

And Tony fell to the ground.

"What's going on?"

He was stunned.

Standing up again, he patted the snow on his **** and continued walking forward.

However, it was blocked again at the same place.

This time, Tony was a little mentally prepared and was not directly bounced back. He stretched out his hands to feel something, and found that there seemed to be an air wall-like barrier in front of him, preventing him from moving further.

"What is this? An invisible wall?"

He looked confused.

Immediately afterwards, Bols and Ramis, who followed closely behind, were also bounced back by the invisible wall.

Boers does not believe in evil.

He roared angrily, drew out his huge battle ax, struck it down with the axe, and then the man and the axe were bounced further...

"Boers!"

Looking at his old friend flying backwards, Ramis exclaimed and quickly chased after him.

When he saw that Bols had just crashed into the snow, leaving a huge human-shaped pit on the ground, he laughed and felt relieved.

"Is this... a magic barrier?"

Mireir walked to the invisible "wall" and stretched out his hand to feel it, looking surprised.

"Could it be..."

As if she suddenly thought of something, her expression suddenly changed slightly.

"I'm afraid...it's the Wall of Lament."

Athos walked over with his staff and said.

He looked towards the invisible "wall" that was blocking everyone's progress, and his eyes gradually became serious.

"The Wall of Sighs? That legendary forbidden magic barrier that can cut Snowman Mountain in half? It's been almost a thousand years, and it... is still functioning?!"

Mireir exclaimed.

"That's right...I'm afraid it has been restarted."

Athos nodded.

As he spoke, he sighed:

"I have seen the specific record of the Wall of Lament in the Archmage's notes, I'm afraid this is it."

"This forbidden magic barrier built around the ice castle has a power that exceeds the legend. Once it is opened, no one under the legend can break it. From the ground to the sky, no one can cross it..."

"Once it is turned on, the only thing that can turn it off is the 'core' of the entire barrier, which is the ice castle."

When he said this, he smiled bitterly and sighed:

"Fortunately, it was discovered early... Snow Man Mountain is so wide. If the Chosen Ones supporting us hit the Wall of Lament, they would definitely not be able to come over and would have to take a detour."

"The day when the beast tide breaks out with high frequency is approaching. Those fallen creatures will attack wherever they go crazy, and we, with our magic energy-gathering core, are definitely the target of public criticism."

"Don't forget, this is not too far from the canyon forest. If we delay it any longer, something will happen and everyone will be in danger."

"It seems that we have to go to the Ice Castle after all..."
