Chapter 102 [Encounter Stronger and Stronger] (Part 1)
Chapter 102 [The stronger you get when you encounter a strong one] (Part 1)
He flew out of the snowfield around the sacred mountain as fast as he could. When everyone arrived at the edge of the "forgotten ice field", the old magician took out his wand again.
There is a clear dividing line between the ice field and the snow around the sacred mountain that can be seen with the naked eye. On one side is the soft snow, and on the other side is the hard and cold ice field. Looking in from the periphery of the ice field, everything seems to be calm.
But Du Wei and others already have experience, and they know in their hearts that as long as they dare to take a step closer, this huge magic circle left from ancient times will immediately be triggered!
When the old magician took the lead and was the first to walk into the ice field, when his feet took the first step into the ice field, immediately, the originally calm sky was filled with wind and clouds, and countless violent air currents began to rotate. The old magician's
The silver gem on this exquisite wand once again released a soft light, trying hard to withstand the storm that was getting stronger around it.
"Quick! Don't waste time!" The old magician grabbed Du Wei. At this moment, Du Wei was the most important person in his heart. He held Du Wei tightly by his side, and then raised his wand like a torch.
, leading everyone forward...
Above the ice sheet, the whistling wind seemed to have gradually become a bit more exciting! The sharp wind was destroying the small windproof magic circle, and Du Wei stood beside the old magician.
, he could clearly hear the creaking and squeezing sounds coming from the surrounding defensive light shield! He could even clearly see a wind blade sweeping past, slashing on the light shield, and making a slight collision.
The air flow is turbulent.
The tip of the old magician's nose began to drip with sweat. His magic power had been consumed too much on the way here, and the short time on the Dragon Clan Sacred Mountain was not enough to recover...
The strong wind covered the sky and closed the sun, and strong misty turbulence gathered in the mid-air. It even blocked the color of the sky!
The first day of escape was spent with the support of the old magician.
On the second day, Du Wei could clearly feel that the old magician had consumed too much magic power. The sweat on his forehead had just flowed out, and it instantly froze into small ice beads in the cold weather. After a while,
The old magician's face seemed to be wearing an ice mask. If it weren't for the slight white air coming out of his nostrils when he breathed, he would almost look like an iceman.
In order to save the old magician's physical exertion, Hussein had already lifted the magician up. The knight stepped on the hard ice one step at a time. His golden fighting spirit was also ignited, bringing a touch of warmth to everyone.
"No..." The magic light in the old magician's hand became a little weaker, and he whispered: "I can't hold on anymore, Du Wei, please come and replace me for a while. I need to meditate to replenish my magic power."
As Du Wei took the wand, the old magician drank the last bottle of magic potion he carried. His face looked slightly better, but his eyes were still full of exhaustion. Du Wei also changed and rested for a while.
, now it was Gargamel who was in charge of the magic circle.
"This storm is a bit weird." The old magician regained some energy. He immediately frowned and said: "Even though the storm in this ice field is powerful, it has never been so fierce! Don't you think this storm is more violent than when we came here?
?”
Du Wei nodded and whispered, "What do you mean, is that the Dragon Clan can control this storm?"
"No." The old magician shook his head. He seemed a little weak. Du Wei didn't care much at the moment. He quickly went up to support the old guy and carried him forward. The old magician's weak voice was in Du Wei's ears.
Bian: "It is said that the gods set up this magic circle, on the one hand, to prevent humans from continuing to go north, and on the other hand, to prevent the exiled races in the north from going south... In addition to these, there is another very important reason.
, just... to restrict the Dragon Clan."
"Restrict the Dragon Clan?" Du Wei's heart moved.
"That's right. Although the Dragon Clan are nominally guards, anyone would be bored by being guarded on a Dragon Mountain for so many years. They are guards in name, but in fact they are imprisoned on the sacred mountain in disguise. Because of their mission
If it is not completed, the Dragon Clan cannot leave the Holy Mountain. Although the Dragon Clan has generally adhered to that mission and stayed at the Holy Mountain for so many millions of years, occasionally some individual Dragon Clan will come to the human world to travel, such as the old patriarch. But if
It's just one or two dragons. It won't have much impact on the human world. But what if the entire dragon clan migrates to the human world? That may change the balance of the world. Therefore, the gods are worried that the dragon clan will get tired of it.
After that mission, they will give up the mission and leave the sacred mountain. Therefore, the ice storm magic circle is also a good thing to prevent the dragon clan from migrating south."
Du Wei looked around carefully, seeing countless storms sweeping back and forth, and countless tornadoes hanging upside down from the sky, intertwined together, desperately squeezing his own defensive magic array...
"The dragon race is generally a flying race. The storms on this ice sheet have formed an insurmountable no-fly zone. Any race coming here can only put their feet on the ground and walk! Otherwise, they will fly in mid-air.
We still have to withstand that terrible storm. Even if it is a powerful dragon clan, I don’t think anyone except one or two strong men in the clan can walk through the ice field. Therefore, this ice field also forces the dragon clan to stay on the sacred mountain to continue.
Acting as a guard. In this case, I don’t think the dragon clan is responsible for the storm becoming so terrifying now. I think there may be some other mystery to this storm.”
Du Wei listened carefully to the old magician's analysis.
The old magician took a breath and continued: "When I first came to this ice field, I was alone. That was two hundred years ago. Semmel did not continue walking through the ice field with me. She stayed in the frozen forest.
He separated from me and went back alone. Two hundred years ago, my magic power was not as strong as it is now, but I was able to walk across the ice field. Although I was tired and difficult, I walked through it after all. But what about you now?
Think about it. When we came this time, my magic power was much stronger than it was two hundred years ago, but as a result... I drank almost all the magic replenishing potions in my reserve, but I couldn't hold on. If it weren't for you and Gargamel
Earth exists, we can't reach Longshan at all! What makes the storm here stronger than two hundred years ago? According to normal magic theory, the longer a magic circle exists, the stronger the magic will be with the passage of magic.
It should be weakened, not strengthened.”
After a pause, the old magician continued: "It was already so difficult when we came here... But now on the way back, I found that the storm here is even more terrifying! To be honest, I didn't expect that it has only been less than a day.
I couldn't hold on anymore! Do you remember? When I came here, I lasted for two and a half days alone! What is it that makes the storm here get stronger every time?"
Du Wei glanced at the cumulus clouds that were getting lower and lower in the air around him, and his face changed slightly: "No matter what, we should be able to get out, right? Even if you, I and Gargamel have exhausted their magic power, don't forget us.
There is also a powerful Medusa in the team! When she came, she didn’t make a move along the way.”
"You don't have to count on Medusa anymore." The old magician sighed. He glanced at Du Wei regretfully and said with emotion: "What a pity! You are really smart. You also understand magic very quickly. You just started this year."
Less than fourteen years old, right? At such a young age, without any guidance from magicians, you can reach level three or above. You are already considered a rare genius. But it is a pity. I see that although you have read a lot of magic knowledge
There are many books on earth, but the things you learned are not systematic at all. They are all learned from reading miscellaneous books. You must know that the knowledge in the field of magic is rigorous and profound. There are many difficult and difficult things in it, so how can it be the things you can see?
What can be recorded in the books that are circulated outside? You haven’t even received the most basic basic education in the magic system. No wonder you don’t understand. At least we can’t use Medusa’s magic now. Because she is a Warcraft
! Do you understand? Although she is in human form, she is also a humanoid monster. According to the natural barriers in the magic field, the magic of monsters and humans cannot be combined, because human magic comes from our unique magic system, while monsters,
Because of the magic core in their bodies, their mode of using magic and practicing is different from humans. Therefore, although Medusa is powerful, she cannot help us host this magic circle."
Having said this, the old magician smiled bitterly and said: "Aren't you surprised? We had a very difficult time on the way here, but I didn't even ask Medusa for help. Among us, Medusa's magic power is far greater
Far stronger than you and Gargamel."
At this point, a trace of misery flashed in the old magician's eyes, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Hussein! Stop! I have something to say."
The knight was holding Gargamel forward. Hearing this, he immediately stopped. Hussein seemed to feel something was wrong. He turned around and looked at Duwei and the old magician: "What's wrong?"
"There's no need to go." The old magician's expression turned extremely ugly: "I've calculated that in this day, our walking speed has been almost twice as slow as when we came here! But our magic power can no longer be used.
Supported... You must have felt this situation, right?"
Hussein said nothing, but a gloomy look appeared on his face.
"I have carefully calculated it many times just now. According to this way of walking, at most noon tomorrow, we will all run out of magic and can no longer support it. But at noon tomorrow, we will only go less than four meters at most.
One-third of the journey. If we continue to waste it like this, it will only lead to a dead end! At noon tomorrow, this terrifying storm will tear us into pieces without the magic circle defense!"
After telling this shocking news, no one in the queue was surprised. Du Wei and Medusa seemed to have expected this situation on the way. Even Gargamel, who was presiding over the magic circle,
, also kept their mouths closed and did not speak. Although this mouse was timid and wretched, after all, it was once an experienced magician, and its consumption of magic power was estimated to be similar to that of the old magician.
The only one who made a sound was the new member of this temporary adventure team, the elegant Mr. QQ Penguin.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you moving forward?" qq blinked and shook his head slightly. He seemed to be enjoying himself in such a stormy, icy and snowy place. He was lying on Du Wei's back and closed his head.
He slept with his eyes closed. At this moment, he jumped down with a plop, stamped his feet on the ground, then twisted his fat body, walked twice with his head held high, and raised his head and said: "Why don't you leave?"
"Because we may not be able to get out." Du Wei sighed. There was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his voice. Among the queue, only Medusa remained calm, as if nothing in the world had anything to do with her.
"We have to find a way." A sad smile appeared on the corner of the old magician's mouth, and then he looked at Du Wei solemnly: "Du Wei, you have to understand that you are the most important one among us!
You are carrying Aragorn's mission, so no matter what, I can't let you die here... So, I came up with a way that might give you a chance to escape."
Du Wei said nothing. He bit his lip and looked at the old magician.
"Hussein is a paladin. The golden fighting spirit of the paladin is very important, and the body of the paladin is so strong that it can rival the dragon. Even without the protection of the magic circle, based on the strength of Hussein's paladin, I estimate that he can also rely on the strength of the paladin.
My own fighting spirit has been going on in this storm all day." As he said that, the old magician turned to look at Hussein: "My fellow knights, after noon tomorrow, we people will lose the protection of the magic circle.
There is no way to escape, only you can rely on the golden fighting spirit to last one more day. So, I need you to promise me something." The old magician pointed at Du Wei: "Your golden fighting spirit can protect the space around you if you exert it with all your strength.
, even if you hold a person in your arms, you can hide under the defense of your fighting spirit. I want you to hold Du Wei and move forward! If you move forward with all your strength, your walking speed will be much faster than now.
…”
"But I can only support it for about a day." Hussein said coldly: "In one day, I still can't get out of this ice field."
"Then just leave it to fate." The old magician sighed: "This is the only way. Although the hope is slim, there may be a miracle that allows you to walk out of the ice field. I calculated how fast you can run with all your strength in one day.
, even if you can’t get out, it’s not too bad, maybe... some miracle can happen.”
No one spoke, and everyone's expressions were complicated. Du Wei looked at his companions and suddenly said, "Perhaps I summon Semel?"
