Game of the World Tree - Chapter 936

Chapter 930 Sunrise (VII): Barrier

Dawn World’s continental data is relatively rich.

Although the players have only been in this map for less than two years, they have long been adventurous and have already explored various regions of the continent…

Perhaps it is not possible to form a detailed continental map now, but it is more than enough to outline the general situation and have a preliminary understanding of each region.

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

The Western Continental data compiled by the players does not record the Ice Castle in detail.

However, from a few words, it can be seen that before the Cataclysm, this magic academy located on the top of the mountain gathered the essence of the entire continent’s magic professionals…

Looking at the records in the system data, Tony couldn’t help but look at Athos.

If he remembered correctly, the only son of this old wizard whose family was broken up was studying at the Imperial Magic Academy.

After the Cataclysm, roads were blocked all over the continent, the sky was dark, and the pollution of the abyss continued to spread. People could only hide from the XZ and survive.

Athos and others were probably the first time they came here after the Cataclysm.

At the same time, if Tony’s guess is correct, perhaps they don’t even know the current situation of the Imperial School of Magic.

They are not players who can ignore life and death and explore the continent map.

They don’t have a player’s game system that can share information.

“Athos… Have you received any news from Iceburg since then?”

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.

Iceburg is a holy place for the mage profession, and there are many strong people.

If there is no news after the catastrophe, it is probably… the worst news.

Everyone is a witness to the disaster with their own eyes. They know very well that in that terrible disaster, the most dangerous people are not ordinary people, but powerful professionals.

The stronger the power, the greater the crisis.

Similarly, Iceburg, which has many magicians and even legendary magicians, is probably also greatly impacted by the incident…

Obviously, the ending of this academy is probably not optimistic.

No news is the worst news…

As a holy place for mages, there are thousands of ways to convey news.

Completely losing contact is enough to explain some problems.

“How about… let’s change the route, go south, or north, to support… The Chosen Ones are not far from us, as long as we delay enough time and wait for them to meet us, there is no need to continue to move eastward.”

Tony suggested.

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

The magic energy core they carried with them, which constantly absorbed magic power and attracted fallen creatures, would never give them three days to stay in the same place.

The longer they stayed in one place, the more fallen creatures would target them, and the more dangerous the group would be.

Even Tony’s power was no longer what it used to be.

He couldn’t fight a hundred with one, not to mention that if he was unlucky enough to attract a beast tide, the enemies he would have to face would not be hundreds, but tens of thousands, endless…

Tony proposed to change the route, and for a moment, Bols and Ramis’s eyes stayed on Athos again.

Athos was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly:

“Yes, the terrain of Snowman Mountain is complex, and there are probably many fallen mages. The danger level must be very high.”

“Turning south or north is a good choice. As long as we can hold on for a few days, we will be fine.”

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

They turned their eyes to Milel, who was in charge of leading the team, but found that the female mage was looking at the tattered map with her lips pursed and her brows furrowed.

“What’s wrong? Milel, did you encounter any problems?”

Ramis asked.

“Indeed, I encountered a problem…”

Milel sighed.

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:

“Everyone, look, we are now in this direction. If we go east,

we will reach Snowman Mountain.” “The terrain of this area is complex. If we turn north, we will enter the Eastern Basin, which was once the holy place of the Eternal Church in the Dawn World. After the Cataclysm, it is probably the most terrifying place of corruption…”

“With our strength, I am afraid we cannot pass through that hellish restricted area.”

“And if we turn south, then… we will enter the Toxic Swamp.”

“The Toxic Swamp was an extremely bad area long before the Cataclysm. Now that the whole world is polluted, the situation there will only be more severe…”

“Everyone, whether we turn north or south, the dangers we encounter are no less than Snowman Mountain, and even… maybe more.”

Milel closed the map and smiled bitterly.

“Then… let’s just continue to circle in the canyon forest. Although the magic concentration here is not low, at least… we are almost familiar with the monsters.”

Tony said.

“I’m afraid it won’t work…”

Milel looked at the sky and sighed.

“No more?”

Tony was stunned.

“Yes, Lord Tony, look at the clouds in the sky, aren’t they a little more crimson than usual?”

Milel pointed to the sky.

Then, she explained:

“That’s a sign of a magic explosion. I’m afraid it may happen at any time in the next few days. If magic explodes, it will inevitably be accompanied by further pollution. At the same time, in areas like the Canyon Forest where there are many magic beasts, there is a great possibility of a terrifying super beast tide…”

“Super beast tide…”

Tony’s expression became serious.

After entering the game, whether it was from NPCs, in the world channel, or when he surfed the Internet during breaks to check the relevant information of the Dawn World of “Elf Kingdom”, he heard about the super beast tide more than once.

Whether it is NPCs or players, when they mention the super beast tide, they all look as if they are facing a great enemy.

The official website records that if you encounter a super beast tide in the wild, no matter how strong the player team is, it will be a pity…

Obviously, continuing to wander around in the canyon forest may lead to a situation of no return for everyone.

“Sorry, everyone… I suggested going east all the way. If we changed our mindset at the beginning and only moved towards less dangerous areas, maybe we wouldn’t be as passive as today.”

Tony said apologetically.

However, the strong warrior Bols patted him on the shoulder and smiled:

“Lord Tony, what are you blaming yourself for? Going east all the way is a joint decision of our team, not to mention that the beast tide is approaching, we should have tried to meet up with reinforcements as soon as possible. Besides, after the catastrophe, even the safest place may contain deadly dangers.”

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

Ramis also nodded and said.

“Don’t change direction, just keep going! Although the climate in Snowman Mountain is a bit worse than other places, it is better after all.”

Just as the two warriors were comforting Tony, the old wizard Athos suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned, and couldn’t help but cast their eyes at him, wanting to say something but stopping.

Noticing the gazes of his companions, the old wizard smiled slightly.

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

“What should be faced must be faced after all. I also want to know what the Ice Castle is like now.”

After speaking, he looked at everyone and smiled again:

“Besides, I heard from the archmage that Snowman Mountain is covered with a giant magic circle that calms magic power. If you enter there, the ability of the energy core to attract fallen creatures may be much weaker.”

…

After some discussion, everyone finally continued to move forward and entered the range of Snow Mountain.

As they continued to move forward, the forest behind them gradually faded away and disappeared between the mountains, and in everyone’s sight, only the white snow was left.

Snow Mountain, as the name suggests, is a mountain covered with heavy snow.

Even though it is not located in the polar region, this mountain range, whether it is the peaks or the foothills, is always cold and frozen all year round, with ten miles of ice.

Everyone put on thick spare coats and braved the wind and snow, moving forward to the east.

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

As they continued to walk, gradually, the temperature became lower and lower, the wind became louder and louder, and the snowflakes became more and more dense…

At the same time, the group walked further and further.

Fortunately, along the way, except for the bad weather, everyone did not encounter even a fallen monster.

Although the smell of pollution still lingered, there was only the whistling wind in the snow-covered mountains.

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

“After all, there were a lot of high-level wizards living in the Ice Castle. It is probably very dangerous now. We don’t need to put ourselves in danger. Let’s take a detour.”

He said.

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

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

So, everyone bypassed the main peak of Snowman Mountain, continued to move forward from the side, and climbed over one hill after another.

Finally, after they climbed a hill again, they finally saw the end of Snowman Mountain.

Although it is called the end, it is still far away from the group.

But standing on the top of the hill, braving the wind and snow and looking into the distance, you can 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 range of Snowman Mountain!”

Milel said excitedly.

Eastern Forest! I seem to see green… So, the pollution there may be much lighter!”

Bols looked into the distance with excitement.

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

“After all, it’s in the east. The closer to the Dawn Fortress, the lighter the pollution must be. If we reach the Dawn Fortress, we can breathe real fresh air.”

Athos smiled gently.

“Hey, looking at this distance, maybe we can walk out of the Snow Mountain in a few days.”

Ramis also said expectantly.

However, he soon welcomed Tony’s ridicule:

“A few days? Mr. Ramis, we can’t walk for a few days. The supporting Chosen Ones will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. By then, we can fly away directly!”

“Really? Flying monsters? I haven’t ridden a flying monster in my life! What kind of creature is it? Can you tell me?”

Ramis widened his eyes and was very expectant.

“Haha, you’ll know when we meet.”

Tony laughed.

“Let’s go, downhill, finally we can walk a little easier. “

He stretched and continued to move forward.

However, just when Tony took a step forward, he seemed to hit an invisible wall and was bounced back…

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, patting the snow on his butt, he continued to move forward.

However, he was stopped at the same place again.

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

“What is this? An invisible wall?”

He looked confused.

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

Bols didn’t believe it.

He roared, drew out his huge battle axe, chopped it down with one axe, and then both the man and the axe were bounced farther…

“Bols! “

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

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

“Is this… a magic barrier?”

Milel walked to the invisible “wall”, stretched out her hand to sense it, and looked surprised.

“Could it be…”

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

“I’m afraid… it’s the Wall of God’s Sigh.”

Athos walked over with a staff and said.

His eyes looked at the invisible “wall” that blocked everyone’s progress, and his eyes gradually became serious.

“The Wall of God’s Sigh? The forbidden magic barrier that is said to be able to separate the Snowman Mountain into two halves? It’s been almost a thousand years, and it… can still work? !”

Milel exclaimed.

“Yes… I’m afraid it has been restarted.”

Athos nodded.

As he spoke, he sighed:

“I have seen the specific records of the Wall of God’s Sigh in the notes of the great wizard. I’m afraid it is it. “

This forbidden magic barrier built with the Ice Castle as the center has a power beyond the legendary level. Once it is opened, no one below the legendary level can break it. From the ground to the sky, no one can cross it…”

“Once it is opened, the only thing that can close it is the ‘core’ of the entire barrier, which is the Ice Castle.”

At this point, he smiled bitterly and sighed:

“Fortunately, we found it early… The range of Snow Mountain is so wide that if the supporting Chosen Ones hit the Wall of God’s Sigh, they will definitely not be able to get over and can only take a detour.”

“The day of high-frequency outbreaks of the beast tide is approaching. Those fallen creatures will rush anywhere when they go crazy, and we with the magic energy core will definitely be the target of public attack.”

“Don’t forget, this place is not too far from the Canyon Forest. If we delay any longer, something will happen and I’m afraid everyone will be in danger.”

“It seems that we have to go to the Ice Castle after all…” I

almost didn’t show up!

This story should have about four chapters left. After finishing it, I will write a story between players to make it more interesting
