Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 343 Gubei Village

  Step into the iron gate covered with a layer of ice crystals.

  The first thing Colin sees is a square hall about the size of a basketball court.

  The second is a huge silver complex ring-shaped device placed in the translucent witch circle shield in the middle of the hall, occupying almost three-fifths of the entire hall.

   "This is the Communication Ring Tower, the only way for the Gubei camp to communicate with Neustadt." Dempsey noticed Colin's gaze and introduced it.

   "Please give me your school badge, Lord Colin." Dempsey continued.

  Colin nodded, handed the school badge to Dempsey, and then looked around curiously.

  Behind the square hall, there is a gray corridor that is wide but only about four or five meters long. At the end, it leads to another heavy black iron door, which is locked tightly.

   On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there is also a smaller iron door,

  嗡—

  The silver communication ring tower on the side suddenly turned, and after a while, there was a pulse-like regular white light on it.

"It's ready, Lord Colin." Dempsey stepped out of the shield, walked towards him, handed back the badge of the school respectfully with both hands, and said, "In about ten minutes, the city of Neustadt will be able to take over." information to us."

   "Yeah." Colin nodded, and started to ask himself curious questions.

   "Why did the Nine University Schools set up such a stronghold in this remote place?"

   Dempsey seemed to have never thought about this question. He was obviously stunned when he heard it, and then he thought for a moment and replied:

   "Maybe it's because of Lan Hanjing."

   "Oh?" Colin was a little curious, and searched carefully in his mind.

  However, he found that he didn't seem to have seen any blue cold crystals, and he hadn't even heard of them.

   "Who is this Lan Hanjing?" He subconsciously continued to ask.

   "It's a special kind of ore...it looks like ice crystals and is blue in color." Dempsey described.

   It seemed that the verbal description was too vague, he paused and said, "My lord, please follow me,"

   Dempsey led Colin towards the corridor behind the hall, and finally came to the heavy black iron door.

   "This is the warehouse where the blue cold crystals are piled up. Every six months, someone will come to collect them."

   While talking, Dempsey took out a special black key and opened the heavy black iron door in front of him.

  The azure blue light suddenly shined through the gap opened by the iron door.

   Blue cold crystals of different sizes were neatly piled up one after another, forming a hill two or three meters high.

  Seeing such a scene at first glance, Colin couldn't help being amazed.

  Although this Lan Hanjing doesn't know what the specific function is, but in terms of appearance alone, it's really good.

   "What are the specific functions of these cold blue crystals?" Colin continued to ask curiously, "Can I go in and have a look?"

   "It's ok, my lord, as long as the cold blue crystal doesn't leave the stronghold, it's fine." Dempsey said, and walked in with Colin,

   "As for the specific function of the blue cold crystal, I don't know."

   Dempsey shook his head with curiosity on his face.

  Colin walked up to the blue cold crystal pile, picked up one and looked it over carefully.

  These so-called cold blue crystals look a bit like crystals in appearance, but they are not as transparent as crystals, but emit blue light.

  If it was in the previous life, when encountering an ore like this that can emit light by itself, it must be as far away as possible.

  Because those are most likely radioactive.

  But this is not necessarily the case in this wizarding world. Magic can give miracles the soil to grow.

  Besides coming in for so long, Colin didn't feel the slightest strangeness. Apart from the ore in front of him, it seemed that there was nothing special about it.

   Under the temptation of magic power and spiritual power, there is no response, just like an ordinary stone.

  ‘Let’s look up the information when we return to Neustadt.

  The Nine University Schools can make such a big move to establish a stronghold in this barren extreme northern land... This cold blue crystal is obviously not a useless thing. '

   "Tell me about the mission again, about those ice and snow monsters... and Gubei Village."

  Colin put down Lan Hanjing, turned around and said to Dempsey.

   "Good sir." Dempsey nodded, and began to talk:

"The ice and snow monster just appeared last month. I remember that day was January 24. On Sunday, I went to Gubei Village to collect the blue ice crystals as usual, but I saw an ice and snow monster just left from Gubei Village. ..."

  The two walked out together. While locking the door, Dempsey briefly described to Colin what he saw and heard that day.

  In fact, there was nothing special about the process, it was just that an ice and snow monster came to the door out of the blue.

  According to Dempsey, in this extreme north, such ice and snow monster attacks occur almost every one or two years.

   After listening to Dempsey's narration, Colin picked up his pocket watch and glanced at it.

  It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, he thought for a while and continued to Dempsey:

   "It's still early, why don't we set off for Gubei Village now?"

   "Now?" Dempsey said hesitantly, "According to the weather beacon at the stronghold, there will be a snowstorm within half an hour."

  The time in the extreme north is the polar night, the sun is always below the horizon, the sky is dark, only occasionally there will be brilliant aurora shining.

  Under such circumstances, if there is another blizzard, even senior wizard apprentices may lose their lives.

   "My lord, you are exhausted from traveling all the way, why not rest for a night before going. I have prepared the unique snow rabbit here for you. The meat is tender and smooth, with its own unique aroma."

   Dempsey continued, while pushing open the iron door on the left side of the corridor, "This is your room, I live next door."

  Colin glanced into the room.

  Perhaps it is to protect the physical and mental health of the wizards on duty. The area inside does not seem to be small, it seems to be a layout of two bedrooms, one living room with kitchen and bathroom.

   "No need, let's go now, that ice and snow monster may attack at any time. If you don't go today, if you miss the opportunity, not only will there be more casualties in Gubei Village, but also a waste of my time."

   Colin calmly explained.

  He didn't come here for pleasure, so he should hurry up to solve the task and go back to Neustadt, where the mana is abundant and relatively safe.

   "But, a blizzard is coming... Lord Colin." Dempsey raised his head subconsciously and said, "The blizzard here is extremely violent, and ordinary first-order wizards are at risk of getting lost."

   "Don't worry, I will keep you safe." Colin continued with a calm tone.

   This is the confidence of being a second-tier wizard.

   "Okay, my lord." Seeing Colin's persistent appearance, Dempsey naturally didn't dare to say anything more, but said respectfully: "Then please wait a moment, my lord, I will pack up my things."

   "Yes." Colin nodded slightly.

   Dempsey buried his head and walked towards his own room opposite, feeling a little helpless.

  He didn't believe that Colin was worried about the lives of the villagers in Gubei Village, but his boss insisted, so what could he say?

   Alas, it's just the blizzard here, it's really not that easy to cross.

  This new wizard seems to be a little arrogant... Dempsey sighed insignificantly, worried in his heart, and planned to bring more dry food, and be prepared to be lost for a few days on this trip.

  Five minutes later, Dempsey tidied up the things to be carried out, and set the stronghold Wuzhen to the out mode, and walked out the door with Colin.

  Light green hazy light shrouded the two of them like tulle, and Colin raised his head slightly.

  In the dark sky in the distance, there is a misty bright aurora appearing, fluttering in the air like a ribbon.

   Looking away, Colin put his hand on Dempsey's shoulder.

  The latter was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at him.

   "I'll take you to fly there." Colin explained briefly, and then urged the flying witchcraft to rise from the ground.

   Coming to the sky, he blessed the steel temperature-resistant force field for himself and Dempsey, and after asking for its direction, he turned into a streamer and shot away.

  Gubei Village is still a long way from here, but for Kelin Feifei, it only takes about five minutes.

  Feeling the speed of Colin's flight, Dempsey was also delighted, and subconsciously said: "Master Colin, according to your flight speed, maybe we can reach Gubei Village before the snowstorm comes."

   "Yes." Colin replied calmly.

  However, Dempsey's wish came true in the next second.

  Hoo—

  A gust of cold wind that was colder than the surrounding environment suddenly blew.

  The aurora in the sky is also gradually disappearing.

   Feather-like snowflakes fell from the pitch-black sky... The blizzard quickly took shape in just one or two minutes.

   Dempsey was slightly taken aback, with a bitter look on his face.

   "Don't worry, how to go ahead." Colin comforted him and continued to ask.

  The weather in the extreme north is as unpredictable as the data shows.

  However, given the intensity of the current blizzard, there is nothing he can do about it. At most, it will make the journey take longer.

   "Dempsey." Colin urged in a low voice.

   "...I'm sorry, Mr. Colin." Dempsey came back to his senses and said hastily. Before the wind and snow completely blocked his vision, he pointed to the raised glacier in the distance and said:

   "If you fly forward for a while and cross the glacier, you will see a tall iceberg standing alone on the ice field——Gubei Iceberg. At the foot of the mountain is the location of Gubei Village."

  Colin nodded slightly, increased the output of magic power, and crossed the ice **** in front of him before the wind and snow became violent.

   Turn your head and look around.

   Sure enough, as Dempsey said, a strange iceberg soon appeared in his field of vision.

  The iceberg is probably a thousand meters high, standing alone on the ice field like a ferocious thorn, the surrounding area is flat, and there is not even a taller protrusion to be found.

  This scene made the ancient Arctic iceberg look extraordinarily strange and majestic... It also made Colin a little curious about how this iceberg was formed, so unique.

  The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger.

  Before the field of vision was completely occupied by white snow, Colin adjusted his flying direction and was flying towards the Gubei iceberg.

  The blizzard blocked the light and also blocked the vision. In the darkness, Dempsey was a little panicked: "Master Colin, don't we slow down a little bit, in case we hit..."

boom!

  The dull impact suddenly sounded in front of Dempsey, making him seem to be strangled by the throat, and he only uttered a short syllable before falling into silence.

   "It should be a floe rolled up by a snowstorm, so don't worry about it." Colin said lightly, with a calm face.

  In fact, he has already let his mental power spread forward, and there is no risk of bumping into things.

   I bumped into that ice floe just now, but I did it on purpose.

   Now it seems that the effect is not bad... Colin looked at Dempsey who fell into silence with mental strength, and smiled slightly.

  As the apprentice on duty here, Dempsey may still be useful in some aspects of this mission. Hesitating about orders like just now is not acceptable, and he needs to know part of his strength and confidence.

  The two of them flew fast all the way.

   Dempsey leaned against Colin tremblingly, motionless, but his heart was inexplicably shocked.

  As a not-so-young wizard apprentice, it is not that he has never seen a first-order wizard in his life experience, so he is very aware of the strength of ordinary first-order wizards.

   It might just be an ordinary floating ice, but with the double superposition of the terrifying speed of the flight and the speed given to the floating ice by the blizzard, the power of the collision is not small at all.

   After all, those ice floes are not cotton, they are extremely hard, and it is very difficult to break them actively under normal circumstances.

  At least Dempsey felt that it was absolutely impossible for him to defend against the ice floe impact at such a speed.

  If Colin hadn't been sheltered, the ice floe might have knocked him to pieces on the spot.

   Dempsey silently changed his previous view of Colin—

  The wizard who came this time is not arrogant, I am afraid it is just confidence in his own strength!

  Ten minutes later, the blizzard has not dissipated.

  But the two of them have already arrived at the foot of the ancient northern iceberg.

  It's a pity that the blizzard is still going on, blocking all the light, otherwise you can have a close look at the ancient Arctic icebergs.

  Now, Colin can only use mental power to discern the surroundings, and it is difficult to see the whole picture of the iceberg.

  As for Gubei Village, it is also invisible.

  Colin searched around the iceberg, and after a few minutes, he finally found the hidden Gubei Village.

  Gubei Village is located in a natural basin at the foot of the mountain. The wind and snow here are blocked by the surrounding ice mounds, so it is slightly smaller.

   But the field of vision was still pitch black, and Colin spread his mental power out.

  The houses in Gubei Village seem to be built of ice and snow, with a low hemispherical shape and a large number.

   Under the perception of spiritual power, there seems to be no end. Colin estimates that there are at least nearly a thousand spherical igloos.

   This is not so much a village as a small town.

  Colin was a little amazed, but the next moment, the scene coming from his mental power made him frown involuntarily.

   He quickly landed towards Gubei Village. In order to make it easier for Dempsey to see clearly, he waved his hand and used the light technique.

  Soft white light gathered in the palm of his hand, illuminating a gloomy scene.
