Volume 1: Frostmourne Chapter 257: Return to Earth
Akasha explained: "This is the portal that Eisen Frog set up back then. With the powerful magic barrier on the door, the portal can permanently connect two points in the space, but it can only be transmitted in one direction, so
It will be more troublesome to come back. Even if I fly with you using twinkle, it will take more than ten hours to return to Yanzhou City from the Frozen Throne, which is a hundred thousand miles away, so the earliest you can return to Yanzhou City is tomorrow morning."
Nothing much will happen in such a short period of time.
Akasha opened the portal, and as bright light shot out from behind the door, Gu Nansheng saw the endless sea again.
This sea is the relic left after the explosion of the Well of Eternity. To be precise, fifty percent of the ocean in the Dota Continent was formed due to the explosion of the Well of Eternity.
Akasha grabbed Gu Nansheng's hand again, and after two consecutive flashes, the two of them had arrived at the foot of the Frozen Throne.
The sky is clear and the wind is cold and miserable.
Above the vast ice field, the misty Frozen Throne stands as eternal as Optimus Prime. A dozen dark iron chains that have been tempered in the ice and snow for countless years seem to be tens of thousands of meters long, stretching straight from the tip of the Ice Fang to the Frozen Throne.
top.
After two years, Gu Nansheng finally returned to the place where his life trajectory took a turn.
To show their respect for Alsace, the two teleported here and walked instead.
The iron chain covered with thick ice was as smooth as a mirror, and the inclination of more than 45 degrees made climbing even more difficult.
However, with Gu Nansheng's current strength, these are nothing. In fact, it only takes a moment for him to climb onto the Frozen Throne at full speed, but he is not walking very fast now.
Half an hour later, the two of them reached the end of the iron chain. Beyond that was the icy road carved out by Gu Nansheng with his halberd. The road was surrounded by cliffs, hovering and going straight up.
Looking at this winding mountain road that he dug out in a year, Gu Nansheng was filled with emotions.
The scratches of the trident can still be vaguely seen on the ice wall, intertwined one after another, full of the taste of ancient vicissitudes.
"This is it." Akasha said calmly, her voice seemed particularly cold in the cold wind.
She stretched out her hand and touched the ice wall gently. No energy fluctuations were seen in her hand, and the thousands-year-old ice actually rippled like water on the surface.
Akasha's hand reached into the ice silently, and then she walked in with her whole body, "Master, come in with me."
Gu Nansheng still remembers that Akasha was wearing a simple white robe and walked out of the ice in the air, like a fairy from Guanghan, walking slightly on the waves, with dust on her snowy skin.
Gu Nansheng followed Akasha into the ice wall. He felt as if he was immersed in the water, but he did not feel that his clothes were getting wet at all. Instead, he felt comfortable.
Looking out from the ice wall, the whole world seems to be contained in crystal, and everything becomes hazy and illusory.
After advancing about ten meters, Gu Nansheng felt a dim light coming from the icicles. When he lowered his head, he saw that he had stepped onto a set of carefully drawn magic circles.
The hazy fluorescence in the icicles comes from this large and sophisticated set of magic arrays. The magic arrays are usually used alone. If multiple magic arrays are combined into a group, the power of the magic arrays will naturally be multiplied several times.
However, it is extremely difficult to combine magic arrays. Doubling the drawing complexity is only one aspect. The most difficult thing is how to make the energies of different magic arrays complement each other without conflict.
Gu Nansheng was now a magic circle master. He took a cursory glance at the magic circle and immediately saw that it was a teleportation circle, but the complexity was staggering.
Akasha's voice came from the front, "The master extends his spiritual power into Archimonde's essence, and it needs its power to activate the magic circle."…
Gu Nansheng did not need Akasha's teachings. The inscriptions on the magic circle already explained how to use this magic circle.
This set of magic arrays gathers the energy between heaven and earth through the Frozen Throne, and then assists it with Archimonde's essence. Even so, it requires charging for two years before it can be used.
Akasha placed an energy stone in the center of each magic circle. This energy stone was exchanged from the system and can be used to charge the universal serve. Gu Nansheng took it from Merlin when he was in the Blood City.
Quite a few.
After preparing for half an hour, Gu Nansheng used his mental power to activate the teleportation magic circle. The twelve energy stones shattered instantly, and the dazzling light like the sun illuminated everything around him. The magic circle spun rapidly, and the twelve energy stones were instantly shattered.
A violent and thick energy flow was like a dancing silver snake, and finally gathered at the center of the formation.
The shocking energy was compressed to a point, the space trembled, and a black crack appeared silently. Behind the crack, there was a vast and boundless universe.
As soon as Gu Nansheng arrived, a strong attraction came from the crack. Severe mental pain followed by physical tearing pain followed, and then Gu Nansheng lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, but Gu Nansheng woke up from his coma. He looked up and saw that he was facing the computer.
There were leftover bowls of noodles piled on the messy table next to me. A few drops of oil stains were still stuck on the sales materials distributed by the company. On the bed, unwashed clothes were piled up in a mess, and the mosquito net was covered with dust.
It hangs on the ground full of footprints. Is this the single room I rented before?
Gu Nansheng suddenly felt like a dream. Could it be that everything that happened before was just a dream?
He moved the mouse, and the computer screen lit up. What he saw was the interface in the Dota game. Konoe's World Tree had collapsed, and a group of ghouls danced weird and ugly dances around the ruins of the World Tree.
Dance to celebrate their victory.
Looking at his hero again, it turned out to be the Paladin he was playing before time travel. In the inventory, there were a sheep knife, a red staff, flying shoes, a Necronomicon, a Macon, and an ultimate orb, but it was not purple.
Yes, but it's red.
Alt+tab to switch to the desktop, and when I look at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, it shows June 2013. The time is actually back before I traveled through time.
Gu Nansheng recalled what happened in the past two years. Everything was so real. Obviously, this was not a dream.
Only then did Gu Nansheng notice what he was wearing, a white shirt with exquisite embroidery patterns and a neat black dress. This was a set of clothes that Karin got for herself in the Commercial City "a few hours ago".
He took out a mirror and looked at it. His appearance was also the same as when he was in Duota Continent. He was much more handsome than before he traveled through time, and he was also younger and energetic.
In fact, Gu Nansheng was not bad looking originally, but after tempering with energy, his current appearance may not be amazing on the Duota Continent, but if he were on Earth, he would be an absolutely handsome man.
At this moment, Gu Nansheng's cell phone rang. When he looked at the number, it was written Manager Zhou. Manager Zhou? It seemed a bit familiar. Gu Nansheng had changed too many jobs. There were several managers with the surname Zhou. He didn't know where they were.
one.
After connecting the phone, a woman's gloomy voice immediately came from the receiver, "It's already nine o'clock and you still haven't come to work. What's wrong? You don't want to do it anymore, right? That's a lot of words."
Gu Nansheng was quite excited when he suddenly heard Mandarin spoken for a long time.
However, what she said made Gu Nansheng a little bit dumbfounded. This woman was his business manager before time travel, a woman who was almost forty years old.
Although the company Gu Nansheng works for is very big, it is a complete scam company. It just makes water pipes and insists on being a famous brand. However, the quality of the products is no different from other factories, but the price is twice as high.
If you want to sell, you can only rely on deception. The manager deceives the salesman, the salesperson deceives the dealer, and the dealer deceives the customer. It doesn't matter. The most evil thing is that the salary is delayed for several months...
Gu Nansheng replied, "I really don't want to do it anymore." Then he hung up the phone.
You don't even have a contract to work for that company, and if you decide to leave, you won't be paid a penny of the unpaid wages.
Gu Nansheng decided to take out some gold coins from his inventory and go to the bank to exchange for some money. However, when he touched the inventory, he was dumbfounded. The inventory could not be opened.
I'm dizzy. I should have taken out some gold coins and put them in my pocket. Although I knew the rules were different, I didn't expect it to be so different.
I threw a few random punches, but fortunately, my attributes were still there, and my strength, agility, and intelligence were not weakened.
It's just that the skills cannot be used.
However, the Eye of Sargeras can be used, and the surrounding energy ripples are clearly visible after it is turned on.
This somewhat surprised Gu Nansheng. Could it be that the Eye of Sargeras is a universal power in the universe?
The Dark Titan is indeed powerful.
At this time, he remembered the phone call again. When he saw that the number was still from the manager, Gu Nansheng answered the call impatiently.
The voice on the phone suddenly became as warm as a spring breeze, "Xiao Gu, what's wrong? Are you in a mood? If you have any difficulties, tell the manager. As a newbie, it is inevitable to have some setbacks in business. The manager is someone who has been there before.
ah"
The old woman kept talking about her business experience. Gu Nansheng was speechless and was about to hang up the phone. She finally said something meaningful, "Can the company consider giving you a salary increase? How much do you think is appropriate?"
Gu Nansheng found it funny. He hadn't heard the language of modern society for many years. Words such as salary business that had troubled him now sounded quite friendly.
"Then a basic salary of 1,500 yuan."
"Xiao Gu, are you kidding? There are dozens of people in the branch." The old woman originally wanted to persuade this lost lamb, but Gu Nansheng's next two words made her hang up the phone.
.
He said "dollars."
Gu Nansheng is really short of US dollars now. If he wants to go to the United States to meet Eisen Frog, it is impossible with a total of more than a dozen red bills in his wallet.
This Akasha didn't even remind herself, just bring more gold coins.
At this moment, the phone rang again. When Gu Nansheng looked at his phone, it was an unfamiliar number. After answering the call, Duota Mainland was heard.
"Dear Mr. Gu, I am Mr. Eisen Frog's assistant. Let's discuss the specific matters of your coming to the United States."
"Mr. Eisen Frog and I are both shareholders of Vivendi, the parent company of Blizzard. Although Vivendi is a Fortune 500 company, it does not have many industries in China, and your province and city are even more...
It’s blank, so it’s more troublesome to apply for a passport.”
Not only is it more troublesome, Gu Nansheng has lost his files due to several turnovers. He currently has no household registration at all, which is commonly known as a black household.
If you want to apply for a passport, you must first look for files, then register for residence, issue a criminal certificate, go to the public security department to issue a coordination letter, etc. It is impossible to complete any procedure without more than ten working days, plus the time and time of traveling back and forth.
When looking for files, you have to prepare at least several thousand yuan for travel expenses, and wait for another year and a half.
Although Vivendi is a large company, it is only impressive in Europe and the United States. It will be difficult to dominate in China.
"What should we do? Do you have a private plane? Can you fly so far?"
Kriz said: “Although we have private jets, the ones with the longest endurance can fly from China to the United States, but China’s air traffic control is very strict. Before any private jet takes off, it must declare a flight plan to the relevant departments.
The procedures for flying through the border are particularly complicated. Mr. Gu cannot take the flight without a passport, so that’s not possible.”….
"Can't we sneak across the border?"
"If you are not afraid of being beaten down."
"What on earth should we do?"
"Uh, Mr. Eisen Frog gave the last suggestion, please, uh, swim over."
I wipe it!
Gu Nansheng almost cursed. Although it was possible to cross the Pacific Ocean with his own physical fitness, one could imagine how boring it would be to swim for dozens of days and months.
"Isn't there any other way?"
"There are also ways to secretly climb onto an international oil tanker, or sneak into the airport and come over on a plane. Mr. Eisen-Frog is currently working at Blizzard, headquartered in Los Angeles. In fact, Mr. Eisen-Frog originally wanted to go there in person.
I'm here to see you, but because his experiment has now entered a critical period, he can't leave, so he had to make this move."
"Okay, okay." Gu Nansheng thought for a moment and decided that he would rather swim. Climbing a ship would be feasible, but the speed of the ship might not be faster than swimming. Moreover, it would not be easy to find a direct ship to Los Angeles. As for flying,
It's better to avoid it. If he falls, he will become the first legendary hero to be killed by falling in the history of Duota Continent.
Kriz continued: "I have asked Vivendi's subsidiary in China to transfer 1 million yuan and 500,000 US dollars to your account. If you use this money to open up connections, maybe you can get a passport faster.
"
1 million RMB and 500,000 US dollars! This is more than 4 million RMB. If in the past, Gu Nansheng was given such a large sum of money to go to Tiananmen Square and run naked three times, he would have done it.
But now, the money is just a number to Gu Nansheng, and it doesn't arouse much interest in him.
It sounds easy to use the money to open up relationships, but it is actually quite difficult.
Applying for a passport abroad involves the absconding of a criminal, so the trial is stricter, and because it is issued at the Public Security Bureau, it is very risky to use money to establish connections. You might be detained if you are suspected of being a criminal.
Once a person like Gu Nansheng, who has no files, no household registration, and no job, is detained, it will be really hard to explain.
Moreover, it is very troublesome to find key people. Many corrupt officials do not dare to accept large sums of money from strangers for fear of being framed. They usually only accept money from familiar faces, not to mention people like Gu Nansheng who cannot prove their identity.
So after thinking about it, Gu Nansheng decided to cross the border on foot.
Gu Nansheng planned to take a train to Urumqi first, then cross Central Asia and North Africa, and finally cross the Atlantic Ocean and land on the east coast of the United States, so that the swimming distance would be shorter.
If you can take a car in the middle, take a car. If you can't take a car, walk. Anyway, at Gu Nansheng's speed, running at full speed is not much slower than the high-speed train.
Los Angeles is on the west coast of the United States, so you can just ask people from Blizzard to pick you up on a private plane.
At my own speed, this trip would only take a month or two. Forget it, just treat it as cultivation plus travel.
Gu Nansheng thought to himself, changed his clothes, bought some food, prepared a compass, and set off immediately.
Along the way, Gu Nansheng crossed the prairie of Xinjiang, swam across the Persian Gulf, and stopped by the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, where he spent five nights in the presidential suite with a price of over 10,000 US dollars. Then he crossed the Red Sea and admired the pyramids of Egypt.
Cross the Nile, the longest river in the world, cross the Sahara Desert, the widest in the world, and jump into the Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of Africa
By the time Gu Nansheng arrived in the United States, it was already two and a half months later. He finally found a Chinese and asked for the name of the city.
Gu Nansheng is lucky. This place is near Boston and the transportation is convenient.
But because he didn't have a passport, he couldn't take the flight, so he found a public phone and called Blizzard, and then he waited here for someone to pick him up on a private plane.
The regulation of private jets in the United States is very relaxed, which makes it convenient for some wealthy Americans to use private jets as transportation. However, in China, most of the time flying private jets is just a way to show off your wealth. In fact, it is far less convenient than taking regular flights.
People from Blizzard could arrive that night. When Gu Nansheng was bored, he went to find an online store.
Speaking of which, there are very few Internet sites in the United States. Along the way, Gu Nansheng saw four or five gun shops and two or three strip clubs before finally finding an Internet site near the station.
It’s terrible not to know English. Gu Nansheng doesn’t know how to speak English online. He can’t even take a taxi if he has money.
Now, Gu Nansheng can recognize that it is a website, thanks to the popular signboard of World of Warcraft.
There are so many gun shops and strip clubs, but so few Internet sites. This is really incredible to Gu Nansheng, who is used to living in China.
In fact, rather than saying that this is a website, it is more appropriate to say that it is a coffee shop. The air in the website is fresh and there is no smell unique to China.com. People surfing the Internet have a leisurely look, chatting while sipping coffee, or
While playing games, there were some sexy blonde beauties among them.
