Chapter 516: Snowfield, Another Expedition
A brand new set of Kalia Knight costume is ready.
The main weapon, the revised version of Night Spark, was forged - there were still some Earth Dragon Scales left from the last forging, but there was only one Ice Needle. However, after witnessing the magic battle between me and Selian, Iggy and Xiugu decided to strengthen the weapon's effectiveness against magic.
——In other words, in the game, the damage compensated by the Atai attribute.
Therefore, the current large sword lacks the coldness of the stars and the moon, so let’s change its name to “Night Fire”.
After turning back into a warrior, I could no longer use the Scepter of Kalia, so my secondary weapon was still equipped with an ordinary pyroxene staff. Of course, Iggy and the others also made me a Kalia Knight Shield for defense.
The rest of the preparations have been completed, and it is time to set out again, collect the dead roots, and go to Michaela's sacred tree to find Malenia.
"By the way... Teacher, why are you here too?" Seeing Selene in the team, I couldn't help but ask curiously, and also looked at the two masters of origin magic, as well as the Lord of Jellian and Latan behind her.
Se Lian explained: "I heard that in the northern snowfield, there is the original magician tower where rare magicians observe the stars... After fighting with you, I may have to re-examine the true origin, apprentice. So, I suggested that I be locked up there."
By the way, there is indeed a ruin and a magician's tower on the top of the mountain opposite the city of Sol. If you want to collect the origin magic "Star Rain of Creation", you should go there.
Moreover, there is no danger in the snowy area, so if the teacher goes there alone, there is no need to worry that she will turn into a ball.
——But, is this really okay?
I looked at Jeremiah and Latan with such eyes.
Jie Lian explained: "The snowfield has always been a forbidden area for Golden Rodel, and it is rarely visited by people. Compared with the academy, it is indeed a more suitable place to imprison witches. However, the two masters also insisted on going..."
——Huh? Are Master Azrael and Master Lusert going there too?
I was quite surprised.
Next to Master Yazler, the magician who served as his translator said, "My friend Ling's theory is indeed very beneficial. It has pointed out a new path for our [Origin]. After all, what are stars? We must find out a little bit, so that the [Origin] theory can truly continue."
Okay, okay, you two are almost turning into stone, but you still can’t give up your research, right?
——It seems that one of you has been in seclusion and the other one has been autistic before because you couldn’t continue your academic research and hit a bottleneck. Now you have new hopes?
I glanced at Jie Lian, and the city lord spread his hands helplessly.
Then I can only say to Se Lian: "Then teacher, please get along well with each other, and don't think about turning into star seeds, otherwise I will cry in front of you."
After hearing this, Se Lian couldn't help but laugh: "Are you really so unwilling to transform into a star seed for your master, disciple? In the original theory of [Origin], that is the best and most convenient way to explore the starry sky."
"No!" I responded decisively, "Teacher, if you really want to know more about the starry sky, wait for me to come back and discuss it with you... Oh, and there's Lani. She should know more details than I do now. If it really doesn't work, although I can't build a rocket, maybe I can build a telescope and observe the starry sky. That should be no problem."
"A telescope that can be used to observe the stars? That's a really great prop." Se Lian's eyes lit up with the joy of a child getting a new toy. "Then it's a deal, apprentice."
"Yes, we have an appointment."
——Speaking of the magician's tower, I remember that you have to go through the invisible sky bridge to enter it.
Forget it, I'll talk to the teachers when I get to the snowfield. Besides, the entrance to the bridge is right on the way to Sol City, so there's no need to rush.
This time, all preparations are really ready, so let’s set off and embark on the journey to the snowfield again!
Following Nepheli's advice and with the blessing and guidance of the Finger Witch Selimene, we reorganized the Snowfield Expedition Team and teleported directly to the ruins of Samir in the Giant Snow Mountain.
It was already getting dark, and after entering the village, I found that there was no one here.
"He hasn't come back yet, has he?" Nepheli muttered to herself in confusion.
I asked curiously, "What's wrong, Nepheli?"
"Didn't you arrange for Millicent and Platinum Son Letina and her group to go to Sol City in the north?" Nepheli explained, "After you left the team, they seemed to be worried about your situation, so they asked me where they should meet you when they return from Sol City."
"So, you agreed to meet at the Samir Ruins?"
"After all, this is the entrance to the snowfield, and it's close to the big elevator... But it looks like Millicent and the others haven't finished their business in Sol City yet." Nepheli pondered, looking up at me, "What, what are you doing with that look?"
"Nene~ I used to say that you were the Wild Boar Princess, but I didn't expect that you are so thoughtful!" I couldn't help but praise my good friend.
“Nei…” Nefeli was slightly startled at first, and then naturally raised the axe with disgust in her eyes, “If you keep saying that, don’t blame me for turning hostile and chopping off your tongue, Zero.”
"You can also call me Lingling~"
Naturally, my playful smile was hit by Nefeli's axe.
——It seems that everyone in the border area doesn’t like nicknames with reduplicated words. Meimei also quite dislikes this name.
At night, everyone lit torches, but they could no longer wait for Millicent and Letina in the ruins of Samir, considering that there was only one road from the snowfield to the city of Sol, with no forks.
I discussed with Nepheli that it would not be a good idea to just wait here in the ruins, so we should go there together along the road, maybe we could meet halfway.
Neferi agreed with me.
As for where the Samir people in the ruins went, Yushuluo continued to serve as a tour guide and went to the city of Sol with Millicent and the others. The rest of the people joined the team on the expedition's way back, left here, and went to rebuild their homes underground... After all, there should be few people who are willing to live in a harsh environment of ice and snow.
Walking along the road, near the Heavenly Road, I led everyone to find the entrance to the nearby Giant Snow-Top Underground Cemetery.
This side, let Baizhi and Hector take two furnaces and attack together.
Speaking of which, the final BOSS of the cemetery is a rotten tree spirit. The furnace can breathe fire, and Baizhi is proficient in magic and prayer, so there should be nothing to worry about.
The rest of the people followed me and crossed the heavenly road. I planned to reach the frozen lake before dawn. In that case, even if I didn't meet Millicent and the others, I could pass by the hills full of graves outside the city of Sol during the day, and deal with Tiabee's calling ship and obtain the dead root along the way. There would be no need to entangle with the dead bird that only appeared at night.
Phew——
But just as we were about to pass through the woods and reach the shore of the frozen lake, Torrett neighed loudly as a warning.
Then the guy went back into my ring.
...Is this because it sensed the surging murderous intent. Is someone about to invade?
I quickly ordered the team to stop and looked around the forest vigilantly.
Gradually, a bloody smell seemed to penetrate into my nostrils, and in the dark forest, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
