Law of the Devil

Chapter 94: Forgotten Icefields The Last Stand

Views:

Du Wei's mood is not easy. He felt a little panicked and heavy in his heart, as if a big rock was pressed down, heavy.

There is no doubt that Du Wei does not like this matter! I don't like this prophecy, and I don't like any mission, or inheriting so-and-so's legacy!

In this regard, Du Wei has exactly the same idea as Semel two hundred years ago: I am me, I want my own life, my own freedom! Why should someone else's will be pressed on me? Even if he is a great man in history and a legendary powerhouse, but this has something to do with me? I am not surprised!

Since coming to this strange world, Du Wei has no "magnificent" thoughts in his mind. God bless, he was born into a big noble family. His expected life is very simple: give up the right of inheritance, give up the burden of the family, and be a rich man who eats and waits to die, a rich man. In your spare time, do something you like, tinker with magic, play spoof football games, and so on. To live without ambition, to live a nourishing life, to have no worries about food and clothing... that's enough.

Therefore, when Du Wei deliberately kept a low profile, deliberately let others misunderstand him as an idiot of the family, and deliberately asked his father to drive him out of the imperial capital and send him back to his hometown, Du Wei was actually very happy in his heart. From then on, he left the imperial capital with a strict system, and left the vortex of all right and wrong. Came to the peaceful, loose Rolling Plains... days like that are very pleasant.

But now, everything may be ruined!

Blame the damn... prophecy! !

What a damn mission! What is the descendant of Aragon thousands of years ago... Fuck it! Isn't this kind of life what my uncle Du Wei wants

Inheriting the will of Aragorn and fighting against the temple? I'm full? What is a temple? It is a huge force that has existed for thousands of years! It is a religious force that makes the emperor of the empire fear three points! People have money, force, and lofty prestige, and almost everyone on the mainland is a believer in the temple!

To inherit Aragorn's will and fight against such a behemoth? I'm afraid that if I die, there will be nothing left of my bones!

Hussein cow? The number one knight in the mainland! Wasn't he driven to the end of the world by the temple

Aragon bull? He failed to bring down the temple back then. Why can I do it

What am I? I am a little nobleman! Eat and wait to die, a little nobleman with no ambitions! Longing for a peaceful and free life!

For a guy who has been dead for a thousand years, why do I need my life for his shitty behest

No way!

Along the way, Du Wei didn't say anything, but everyone could see the change in Du Wei's mood, the gloomy expression on his face, and the displeasure on this kid's face.

Pie in the sky to things. Everyone will like it. But what if, along with the pie, there is a heavy burden that can crush a person

That's another matter!

Yes! It's another matter! !

The old magician is still controlling the Evil Faced Spider Queen to move forward. Although he is an old druid who is good at communicating with natural creatures, he is still controlling such a powerful high-level monster. After a long time, the old magician is also a little tired.

That night, instead of camping, everyone took a makeshift sleep on the back of the spider. Hussein took the initiative to ask for a vigil... The knight saw something in Du Wei's eyes, and he stared at Du Wei closely all night.

Du Wei didn't sleep all night. Although he was lying on the spider's back, the old magician created a wind barrier spell to block the biting cold wind around him. The cold is no longer a problem.

Du Wei still couldn't sleep.

He really wanted to get out of here, out of this heavy... mission!

but. The knight stared at Du Wei closely, but Du Wei couldn't help it. All in all, he is the weakest one in this strange team (three people, one snake and one mouse). If he really does it, even the mouse Gargamel in his arms may be stronger than Du Wei in terms of magic power. superior.

run? Du Wei felt that there was no chance.

"Okay..." At daybreak, the old magician quietly stood behind Hussein, and he watched as he lay curled up in the skin. With his back to Du Wei, the old magician was smiling. Then he whispered to Hussein beside him: "This is a huge change, and it can be regarded as a blow. It is normal for him to have emotional fluctuations. However, I believe that he will figure it out slowly. After all, he It is the missionary mentioned in the prophecy."

Its daybreak!

Du Wei's eyes were still closed, but Gargamel from his arms had already come out headlong, the mouse stood upright on Du Wei's lap, stared at the front with wide eyes, and suddenly let out a sharp cheer: "We're out! Out!!"

As the mouse rattled and squeaked, Du Wei turned over and sat up, looking forward...

In front of me is already Sen

The edge of the forest is gone. After the sparse trees, there are no subway trees and silver flowers that I have hated these days... There is no such boring sea of trees...

There was a vast expanse of ice in front of me! A flat river, boundless, covered with ice and snow for an unknown number of years, under the snow, occasionally some glaciers are exposed, and the glaciers are light green...

Under the morning light, the sun is rising, and the sunlight is shining on the glacier. Under the reflection, the arcs of light are rippling circles, which is very magnificent.

The Evil Faced Spider ran for two days in the forest with a few people on its back, and was quite tired. At this moment, it came to the edge of the forest and stopped in its tracks. The face that seemed to be squeezed into a ball, said: There was a panting sound like that of an old cow.

The old magician blew a whistle, and then he was the first to float on the ground. He stretched out his hand and stroked one of the spider's legs for a while, a soft light shone from the palm of his hand, and the spider seemed to be enjoying it. With this kind of light, the panting gradually became more even.

"Okay, come down, my friends." The old magician seemed to be in high spirits, then his long robe fluttered in the wind, turned around and pointed to the endless snowfield glacier behind him, and said with a slight smile: "Welcome to "The Forgotten Ice Field". We are the first humans to walk here in two hundred years!"

As he said that, the old magician seemed to sigh, and whispered to himself: "Semel, I'm here again. Do you still remember the scene when you and I walked across this square two hundred years ago..."

After letting go of the evil-faced spider, the old magician announced: "The rest of the way, we have to rely on our own legs. It is difficult to find any creatures in this glacier. The severe cold here will impress you... by the way Just to mention, especially at night, there will be a strange wind blowing here, that kind of wind can easily tear people apart, if you don't want to freeze to death, don't get separated."

Du Wei moved his steps unwillingly, and Medusa suddenly whispered behind him: "You seem to be very troubled?"

"Yes." Du Wei didn't hide it.

After a few seconds of silence, Medusa said in a low voice: "I remember in my underground palace, you taught me the first lesson, which is to teach me that human beings have to face reality. Isn't it?"

After finishing speaking, Her Majesty the Queen didn't say anything more, but her body floated gently past Du Wei like a gust of wind, and walked to the front.

face the reality…

Du Wei savored this sentence carefully, and then gave a wry smile.

It's easy to say, but really, how can it be so easy

Walking on the ice field is completely different from walking in the forest. The further you go here, the less snow there is on the surface, there is no soft snow, and the hard, cold glacier is extremely smooth. If you are not careful, you will fall more than a dozen somersaults in one breath. normal things.

Moreover, there are countless murderous intentions lurking on the glacier. Those seemingly smooth ice surfaces are hidden traps for murder. If you step on them accidentally, the surface ice layer will crack, and there will be deep ice crevasses below! If you fall down and cause a collapse, countless huge ice blocks will press you down under the abyss, and you will never come up again!

"Why don't we use an enclave?" Du Wei frowned.

With the level of magical strength of the old magician and the flying technique of wind magic, it shouldn't be a problem to take a few people to set off. And Medusa's strength is also very strong, so flying should be no problem.

As for Hussein... once his strength has reached the level of a paladin, he can fly with his own fighting spirit.

"Because this is the "Forgotten Ice Field". It is a place cursed by the gods, and it is a natural barrier! Flying... cannot work here." The old magician explained with a smile, and then seemed afraid that Du Wei would not believe it. , He smiled and took out the bundle from his arms, and finally found a piece of paper. After folding it a few times, it turned into a butterfly shape. With a light tap of his finger, the paper butterfly seemed to be given life immediately. General, fluttered its wings, and flew up gently...

But soon, when it flew to a height of seven or eight meters at most, the airflow in the sky suddenly became fierce! Immediately, countless strong and sharp gusts suddenly burst out from the surrounding area, shooting towards the magic butterfly together!

Before Du Wei let out a low breath, he heard a few small movements in the air, and the butterfly had been cut into pieces by countless sharp wind blades!

"Did you see it? This is a restricted area set by the gods." The old magician said indifferently: "Even if you are a unparalleled powerhouse in the mainland, you can only stay on the ground and walk obediently."

Du Wei understood.

Even a powerful magician cannot keep flying amidst the endless attacks of such blade-like sharp wind blades in the sky. Even if you have powerful magic defense skills, the consumption of magic power is enough to exhaust you to death!

Unable to fly, walking on glaciers purely on the legs. In this way, no matter how powerful a guy is, he is not much different from ordinary people.

The old magician took out a short wand, which was inlaid with a transparent silver crystal. He held up the wand, and chanted a spell in his mouth. A soft light appeared on the crystal, and then spread into a A magical enchantment with a diameter of about four meters.

This magic barrier effectively blocked the strong wind above the glacier!

On this endless flat ice field, the cold wind howled and was extremely terrifying. Without the dense trees in the forest to block it, these cold winds could sweep through without any hindrance, and its strength was enough to blow a person like Du Wei Go in the air!

With the windproof enchantment taken out by the old magician, he just held it all the way, and a group of people carefully walked around him, keeping within the enchantment.

Walking on the ice sheet, physical exertion is very fast. But without the strong wind blocking it, the difficulty has been reduced a lot.

In order to avoid the hidden ice abyss on the surface, Du Wei borrowed the knowledge from his previous life, made a long rope, and tied the three of them together. Hussein, the most powerful, is still at the forefront to open the way.

After all, it is a cold-blooded snake. Medusa is almost twice as cold as the forest. The spirit can't help but a little bit tired, it seems a little tired, lazily, no longer say a word.

After walking so hard for two days, the speed of the group became slower and slower. Even Hussein was very tired, and the knight was panting slightly. Although his eyes were still firm, Du Wei could tell. This way of walking purely by physical strength is really tiring.

Moreover, the old magician couldn't keep that windproof enchantment forever. The wind here is terrible, especially at night, the whistling sound of the wind is almost deafening, as if a beast is roaring in your ears all night without listening. But Du Wei could hardly resist the biting cold, and even the basic movements of Starry Sky Dou Qi were greatly weakened. He has to get up several times a night to move his body, otherwise he will be frozen.

At this time, Hussein made a move that made Du Wei very grateful. The knight pulled off his coat without saying a word, and hugged Du Wei. Then use grudge to drive away the cold for Du Wei.

The old magician has tried his best, but under the endless cold wind around here... and under the terrible wind, it is really tiring to maintain the enchantment all the time, and the consumption of mana is really tiring. Du Wei finally understood why the old magician said on the way to minimize the consumption of mana.

The further north you go, the stronger the wind!

Du Wei could even see with the naked eye that at night, on top of the glacier, tornadoes descended from the sky out of thin air and raged around!

The wind sounded like the roar of a giant dragon, and the pillars of wind that were clearly visible to the naked eye were raging back and forth around him. If it weren't for the old magician who maintained the enchantment day and night...

According to Du Wei's estimation, such a degree. It's almost like the old magician has been defending against the wind magic attacks of countless intermediate magicians day and night day and night for the past two days!

The halo on his wand inevitably dimmed. In order to save magic power, the range of the enchantment was also reduced again and again, and finally the group had to walk together.

On the fourth day, the old magician couldn't hold on any longer. The four days were unstoppable. At the same time, he was resisting Kanbi's intermediate wind magic attacks all the time. The old magician could no longer consume it.

"The last time I came here... the wind wasn't so strong!" The old magician's voice revealed a trace of weakness. "

"How far is it?" Du Wei yelled in the wind... No way, under the roar of the wind, don't yell. The companion can't hear his own voice at all.

"About one and a half days." The old magician said helplessly: "There is still one and a half days. We will be able to get out of the ice field! If we get out of the ice field, there will be no such damn wind!"

"How long can you hold on?" Du Wei sighed.

"I need to rest." The old magician didn't force himself to support: "I need to rest for a while to recover my magic power, but..."

Du Wei nodded: "Let me replace you for a while!"

Fortunately, the magic enchantment of the old magician is recorded on the wand like a scroll. Manipulating this enchantment is not too complicated, it just needs to inject magic power all the time.

Du Wei got the old magician's wand. He thought he could support it for a while, but soon, he found out... it was very reluctant!

Du Wei felt that it was not easy for the old magician to experience hosting this enchantment for himself!

Those strong winds around are too terrifying, those sharp wind blades, countless wind blades, are impacting the enchantment in a dense tide-like manner every moment! Countless wind blades cut on the enchantment, and amidst the whistling of the wind, there was a piercing and sharp sound.

As soon as Du Wei finished his wand, he immediately felt a shock in his body! Immediately, the magic wand in his hand was absorbing Du Wei's magic power at an almost terrifying speed! After Du Wei tried his best to support it for a while, he felt that the magical talent he was originally proud of would soon be stretched after such frantic absorption!

In less than a cup of tea, Du Wei felt that his mental strength was exhausted!

draw! draw! Draw again! The magic wand in his hand was frantically drawing Du Wei's magic power, and the surrounding wind blades were cutting wildly, which made Du Wei's magic power consume faster. Although he had gritted his teeth and persisted, the range of the enchantment was still inevitably shrinking again.

The old mage sitting on the bed and meditating closed his eyes and said nothing. He had already drank two bottles of magic potion, but the consumption was too huge. Drinking magic potion alone was far from enough to replenish the consumption.

Seeing Du Wei's face gradually pale. Suddenly, a sharp voice fell in Du Wei's ears. The guy who Du Wei didn't like at first is almost ten times cuter now!

Mouse Gargamel said timidly, "Why don't you let me try? I'm also an eighth-level magician."

It is said to be an eighth-level magician, but in fact, Gargamel, who specializes in transformation magic, has a real level of magic power. It's just that the fifth-level magician is a little bit higher. But it is still slightly stronger than Du Wei, and after all, he is a genuine magician, and he is much smarter than Du Wei in the use of magic power!

Gargamel took the wand, and its performance taught Du Wei a lesson!

It did not inject magic power blindly like Du Wei did, but carefully judged the terrifying gust of wind attacks around it, and even keenly found some gaps in the waves of wind blades that seemed dense like tides. And those rhythms were captured. Gargamel skillfully manipulated the rhythm of injecting magic power, saving his own limited magic power to the greatest extent. If the attack is strong, it will inject more mana, if the attack is weak, it will take the opportunity to save mana. Even found an air strike or two to get back the air! "

Therefore, although its magic power is only a little stronger than Du Wei's, the support time is almost three times that of Du Wei!

This is not some advanced magic spell, but this skillful and skillful ability to manipulate magic power has made Du Wei a lot! Originally, the control of magic power is also a kind of magician's strength. Often even if magicians of the same level duel, young magicians are usually not opponents of old magicians. In many cases, it lies in the most efficient manipulation of magic power!

Make the most of every ounce of magic. Try to avoid wasting magic power as much as possible, this way makes Du Wei's eyes shine!

Then Du Wei replaced Gargamel again. During the time Gargamel presided over the magic field, Du Wei only recovered less than one-third of his magic power. But then, his performance surprised everyone!

He only recovered less than one-third of his magic power, but the support time was almost the same as Gargamel!

This is due to the devil's horn on Du Wei's head. This devil's horn makes Du Wei's magic sense super strong, and he can even find a limited gap in the dense storm attack more sensitively than Gargamel to take the opportunity to save magic power and regain energy!

In this kind of practical test, Du Wei quickly mastered many skills. The manipulation of magic power has become more and more skillful!

"Every young magician will waste his magic power unconsciously. Only as he grows older and understands magic more and more deeply, will he gradually improve his skills. But this kid, he honed in just two days, It has almost reached the height of an ordinary magician half his life!"

This is Gargamel's evaluation of Du Wei.

With the alternating help of Gargamel and Du Wei, the old magician had enough time to rest and meditate to recover his magic power. Finally, after another day and a half, the group walked out of the glacier...

Miraculously, when a tall mountain appeared in the distance on the horizontal line in front of him, like a huge mountain peak protruding from the ground, the glacier was already under his feet!

creak!

The boots stepped on the soft snow, which made Du Wei's heart skip a beat!

Looking back at the glacier behind him, Du Wei suddenly realized that the wind had stopped!

The boundless land, the sky full of storms, disappeared in an instant!

Du Wei bent down and plunged his arms into the snow under his feet. Finally, he cheered, raised his head and said with a smile, "We've come out! There's frozen soil under the snow! It's frozen soil! It's not a glacier anymore." !"

The old magician heaved a sigh of relief. He almost sat down on the bed, put away the wand in his hand, wiped his face vigorously, and said with a wry smile, "We've come out! We've finally come out!"

Hussein thrust forward with all his strength with the long sword in his hand! Under the knight's divine power, the long sword almost sank into the face, leaving only a hilt on it, and then the knight pulled out the long sword, looked at the hard dirt brought out from the blade, and smiled in relief Laughing: "Yes! It seems to have stepped out of the glacier! That damned glacier, the wind on it is terrible!"

"If it's not scary, how can it be called the "Forgotten Ice Field"? According to legend, this ice field was set up by the gods to block it as a natural barrier leading to the human world! That ice field is actually an ancient ice field. The naturally huge magic circle left behind! Although this magic circle is a barrier, in a certain way, it is actually a barrier that separates the human world from other worlds." The old magician gasped.

"I don't understand." Du Wei shook his head.

"You will understand soon." The old magician had a smile on his face, and then he pointed to the distant place, the mountain peak rising abruptly from the horizon: "Did you see that mountain? That mountain is our destination! I heard from an ancient legend that it has a name called "Sacred Mountain."

"Sacred Mountain?" Du Wei frowned: "Is that where the gods live?"

"Of course not." The old magician laughed loudly: "How can gods live in the world! But on that mountain, there are other powerful things."

"What's that?" Du Wei asked Hussein together.

But when they just opened their mouths, suddenly, from a distance, there was a loud, but low-pitched roar from above that mountain peak!

The roar was of supreme majesty, as if it pierced the bottom of people's hearts, and people couldn't help shaking their hearts when they heard it. A feeling of oppression that could not be described in words, followed by the loud roar, quickly filled the entire group Earth soul!

Du Wei and Hussein changed their colors at the same time, they looked at each other, and guessed something at the same time!

"The place on the holy mountain is not a god, but it is the most powerful creature left by the gods in the world according to legend, and it is also a kind of higher creature that is closest to the gods. It is even smarter and stronger than humans..." The old magician smiled slightly: "Dragon Clan! The Dragon Clan lives on the mountain! According to ancient legends, the mission of the Dragon Clan is to guard this place, because this is the edge of the human world! The powerful Dragon Clan is the guard here. On the one hand, it prevents humans from passing through here and continuing to go. In the north...on the one hand, nothing else in the north is allowed to pass through here to the human world of Roland Continent! Here is the last barrier set up by the gods...the Dragon Clan!"

The roar in the distance continued, and then, a few black spots in the sky flew up from the sacred mountain, and then with a series of continuous low sounds, the body drew several beautiful arcs in the sky, in the divine mountain. Hovering over the mountain...

That's a dragon! Du Wei saw clearly, it was a group of dragons!

group!
