"Today is registration day."
"..."
"Don't you have anything on your mind?"
The eyes under the hood seemed to make a mark on his face, and then stopped paying attention to him.
"Alas..." Duan Qing sighed: "Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about your teammates..."
"They have already used these words."
Walking on the ridge leading to Falling Star Mountain, Duan Qing and others still maintained their basic survival mode. Apart from the energy needed to maintain life, they did not want to waste any more. But they did not know if they had arrived.
Due to the certain altitude, there are obviously many fewer monsters here than before, and the cost of fighting is correspondingly much less. Under the ruthless wind and snow, even the strange birds that they could see high in the sky when they came, are now
It can no longer be seen.
Although there was a member of the Nosir tribe leading the way, there was really no way to take any chances on this journey to the top of the highest mountain in the free world. They had no choice but to walk along the ridges of some of the snowy mountains they could see, one by one, slowly.
The ground was approaching. The wind and snow along the road still brought them biting cold, and at the same time eroded their will. Therefore, in order to stay awake, they still kept doing what they often did along the way - chatting.
But if we talk too much, there will eventually be places where we can't continue the conversation, such as the current situation - Duan Qing had asked his eldest brother Nan Tieshan the same question before, and the other party's answer was besides "I will definitely participate".
There is nothing else to think about.
"The registration lasts for so many days, so there will always be time to register."
Since the use of technology such as virtual servers, the so-called competition venue is no longer a problem. If there are too many people who want to watch the game, the league can even use mirror virtual technology to separate the viewers. Based on the same
The reason is that the number of people participating in the competition is no longer a problem. In addition to adding some difficulties to the selection and arrangement of the competition system, there are many other problems, that is, the lengthening of the competition time, which may cause problems in the actual game world.
It has some impact - and this should not be what the league is concerned about. They only need to run the game well. As for other factors, as long as you obtain the resources legally from the game, what is the problem?
They won't look for you.
However, recently, the audience also likes to participate in the competition more and join in the fun. At the same time, they also hope that they are lucky enough to go through a few more rounds in the competition, and maybe eliminate a few bad faces.
Professional players are making a splash in the world of virtual games. But the league’s officials naturally won’t let such things happen frequently, so as time goes by, more and more competition rules are suitable for “multiplayer participation”
was formulated and the elimination rate increased sharply, which greatly accelerated the progress of the competition.
Professional players in some leagues have opposed such a thing, because they are very likely to capsize in the gutter and lose the opportunity to advance in such a competition system. However, compared to playing game after game without restrictions, this method
Obviously, it is a more equal choice for professional players, and it is also easier. In the words of a professional player in an interview: "So what? As long as you defeat all other players, you will be the strongest one."
That’s it.”
No professional player would deny that he does not have such confidence, just like Nan Tieshan before.
"It doesn't matter if you join early or late. It doesn't matter what competition format it is, as long as you keep playing all the way."
When the big man in black armor said this loudly, Duan Qing secretly glanced at Xue Ling Huan Bing behind him. The latter seemed to have no reaction at all to this sentence and was still walking his own way.
What a stubborn woman.
Falling Star Mountain is so tall that people always feel that it is right in front of them, but after walking for half a day, the huge black mountain within reach still seems so far away, as if they have not walked this section of the road. Several people are
People who have seen the big world also know that this is caused by visual illusion, so they don’t talk too much and just move forward hard. However, for Atelai, who has never been out, the scene in front of them is
It was enough to make him despair.
"Can we really make it to that mountain...?"
"I'm starting to doubt life again."
Duan Qing shook his head: "Don't you have a successful experience in your life?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Just think about it, for example?"
"For example..." Art held it in for a long time, and then said quietly: "I have read all the books..."
"Huh? What book?"
"A book about...the geography of the Free Continent."
"No wonder you call yourself a scholar." Duan Qing shook his head in the snow: "But... your tribe shouldn't understand what a scholar means, right?"
Art didn't answer - his face had turned red.
"You are a self-proclaimed scholar." Nan Tieshan couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that he always talks but never does anything... Hehehehe, don't be so angry, you know your research results.
What did you know?"
"Ah, I know a lot!" The young man from the Nosier tribe became more excited: "For example, the longest river in the world is called Hongshui River, and the longest bridge in the world is called Bridge of Miracles."
He pointed in front of him: "There is also the highest mountain in the world, which you call Falling Star Mountain."
"Also, to the east of the Free Continent is the sea, which is made entirely of water, and is a huge lake. To the north is the desert, which is said to be the largest desert in the world. There is a sea made of sand, and...
.That place is very dry and there is almost no water, so no one has lived there for a long time, and no one knows what the other side of the desert looks like."
Perhaps because he has reached the field he is good at, the young man's words become more and more fluent and his mood becomes more and more exciting: "There are also plains, hills, waterfalls, and forests. There is a large forest in the south of the continent, which seems to be called
Emerald Forest...what a great name.”
Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing looked at each other, then lowered their heads helplessly.
"Also, your world is divided into two large tribes, one is called the Empire, and the other is called the Principality..."
"Stop, stop, stop, I understand." Duan Qing stopped the other party's seemingly deviant understanding, and then raised his finger and started to ask: "Then don't mention the tribes or anything, let's just stick to the natural landscape... Hongshui
Where is the river?"
"It's just to our north, flowing along the mountains to the sea to the east..."
"What about the west side of the Free Continent? Why didn't I hear you mention it..."
"The west of the continent? Let me think about it... I remember in the book, there is still a large area of water there. In your words, it should be the ocean... By the way! It is located in the southwest of the continent
In the direction, there is a snow mountain, and the snow there is just like here, it keeps falling all day long..."
Duan Qing looked at the other two people and got an affirmative answer.
"Is that place also spurned by God..."
"Hey, hey, wake up first." Duan Qing interrupted the other party's fantasy again: "I remember you before...what about the Bridge of Miracles? Do you still know that thing?"
"Of course, I heard that is the most magical bridge. Unfortunately, I have never been outside the clan's territory, so I have no chance..."
The young Nosier clan member became depressed again, and Duan Qing shook his head again: "Don't be discouraged, Falling Star Mountain is right in front of you now..."
"Wait a moment."
Xue Ling Huan Bing on the other side suddenly asked: "The mountain you used to... was called Falling Star Mountain, right?"
"What's wrong? If it's not called Falling Star Mountain, what is it called..."
"He was in what we call Falling Star Mountain." The woman interrupted the others' questions impatiently, and her eyes under the hood stared directly at the young man: "So...
.”
"What do you Nosier people call that mountain?"
"..."
This time, it was Art's turn to be silent.
Several people stopped in unison, and then looked at the young man from the Nosier tribe standing there in silence, clenching his fists tightly, and then slowly loosening his fists. After repeating this several times, he finally
He raised his head and looked at the majestic mountain behind the snow-covered sky.
"According to... my understanding." After a while, Art said slowly: "This mountain was once called by several names by the tribesmen. It was once called 'Akawa', 'Sneer'
Erlei', 'Kvosday'..."
"Can you explain it in words we can understand?" Duan Qing pinched his eyebrows and interjected.
"Those are the ancient languages once used by the ancestors of the Nosir tribe. Not many people can use them nowadays." Art murmured: "But after my research, I found out the meaning of one of the names.
It can be translated."
"The meaning of that name, in the common language of the continent, should be 'stepping into death'."
The three of them were silent. They just looked at the young ice and snow tribesman whose eyes did not move. Suddenly, there was something strange in their hearts. It was a familiar feeling that they could feel during many adventures in the game.
Feel.
It's a feeling of danger.
"Why did your ancestors...name themselves with such names?" Sensing something wrong with the atmosphere, Duan Qing hurriedly used this method to break the growing sense of loss: "There is always some reason, right? Is it possible?
It's because there are a lot of dead people up there..."
"I don't know either." Art shook his head: "I found out those names through many methods. As for the specific meaning..."
"Okay, okay, who cares." Duan Qing waved his hand again: "No matter what, we will climb up from here and conquer this mountain. We have come here, we are not afraid of anything.
..."
"I don't know if this sentence is meant for him or for yourself."
"What's wrong? This is called cheering! I know you have never heard of anyone climbing this mountain, but isn't that what we are here for? Think about when we first climbed the mountain...
"
"Hey, when we first climbed the mountain... I guess none of us wanted to climb the mountain. And now we have walked so far and reached such a high altitude, but there is not even a shadow of the mountain.
See......"
"Don't give up, brother, aren't you going to take us climbing the mountain?"
"Then labor and management will not die in vain! Why do we continue to do things we know we can't do?"
"Don't be cowardly, brother. Is it true that the word "give up" is still in the dictionary when the dignified Iron Fist is helping you?"
"That's not what labor and management mean. Labor and management just want to carefully consider the possibility of this matter..."
"stop fighting!"
A cold voice suddenly came from the side of everyone. The rest of the people were shocked by the cold voice. They all looked in the direction of the woman, wanting to hear what she could say. Unexpectedly, the white skin under the cloak
The palm suddenly stretched out and pointed in a certain direction in front of them.
"Look over there."
"Ah? What's going on over there..."
"Is it..." the woman lowered the brim of her hat: "A stone pillar?"
After a few seconds of silence, several people began to rush forward in unison, running towards the front of the ridge against the still non-stop wind and snow. Soon after, the darkness in their eyes slowly enlarged and gradually turned into
A thin black line.
"You have good eyesight." Duan Qing looked at the woman and said with some admiration: "It's really a stone pillar... Look, look! I can do what we can...
Well."
The stone pillar is located on the side of the ridge, slightly lower than the snow slope on the left. It stands quietly between the white snow slope and the wind and snow in the sky. The nearest rock is also located about ten meters away from that place.
Outside, there is quite a unique feeling. If it were not hindered by the blizzard, several adventurers should be able to find this independent stone pillar from a farther place - although they are now carefully sliding down the snow slope.
Down, came to the stone pillar.
"It seems to be no different from the previous stone pillar." After checking the appearance of the stone pillar up and down, Duan Qing first came to the conclusion: "There is no abnormality, and there is nothing special... I really don't know if this is bad for us.
News, good news."
"At least this shows that this kind of stone pillar exists in this area." Nan Tieshan crossed his arms and looked at the end of the stone pillar: "And... there may be more."
Several people looked at the top of the ridge together - along the highest point of the snow hill in their eyes, the white color still stretched in their eyes, and then gradually became less and less, and finally the white snow line disappeared higher up.
in height.
As the slope steeply increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for ice and snow to accumulate on exposed rocks. Black rock masses gradually occupy higher altitudes, and together with the white snow in the rock crevices, form a black and white mountain scene.
However, everyone still found some strange bulges on the black and white boundary not far away.
"That..." Looking at the area, Duan Qing slowly asked the young people of the Nosier tribe: "Yate, those sacred shadows that appeared in your tribe..."
"Is there only one kind of stone pillar?"
Above them, on the slope not far from the ridge, a short stone pier stood there quietly. Although from their point of view, the short thing was covered by the color of the black rock mass behind it, it was still far away.
Being so close, several people could still distinguish the existence of that protruding thing.
"I don't know." Art also looked in that direction: "But anything that can show miracles should be called a sacred shadow by the tribe..."
"So what exactly is a miracle?" Nan Tieshan shouted from the side, and then walked forward angrily: "Does magic really need to be tested? If I had known, I would have brought a few brothers from the guild here, and we
There are still one or two mages in the Iron Fist Gang..."
"This is not necessarily true." Duan Qing also followed and said: "Consider the characteristics of the Nosir tribe. It may be related to the blood connection... Well, is there such a setting in the free world?
"
"Anyway, let's go up and have a look first."
Looking at the two figures striding upward in the wind and snow, Art suddenly heard the woman's low laughter coming from behind. He turned around, only to see a pair of bright boots under the black hood.
Eyes: "What ideals and goals...this is what an adventurer is."
"But hope still continues, doesn't it?"
