Colin and the two walked out of the glacier cave together.
The white blizzard wall seems stationary from a distance, giving it an unreal feeling.
Shelley figured out the direction, took him up from the ground, and plunged into the crazy blizzard.
"Follow me." Shelley whispered. Her figure was like the ice and snow monster before, unaffected by the blizzard.
The cold wind that was as sharp as a knife blew in front of her, but it became as warm as the spring breeze, and the flying snowflakes spontaneously bypassed her.
Colin, who was following behind, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this scene.
Shelley's treatment seems to be even better than the ice and snow monster, it looks like the king of ice and snow has arrived.
Previously, when the snow monster core shuttled through the blizzard, those snowflakes would not change direction.
About ten minutes passed.
The two passed through the blizzard and came to a continuous ice and snow mountain range.
"We should be almost at the Wendigo's lair. I can feel the same aura as the Wendigo in front of me," Shelley said.
"Are there more snow monsters?" Colin asked subconsciously.
"Not necessarily, it just has the same aura."
Colin nodded slowly and continued flying forward with Shelley. After a while, the two came to the entrance of a cave.
The oval cave entrance is about ten meters high, which is significantly larger than the previous cave on the spine-like glacier. The tunnel inside is also very wide, and it looks more like a place that can accommodate huge ice and snow monsters.
It's just that the caves here are not made of pure ice like the previous spine-like glaciers, but ice and snow wrap the rock walls.
Shelley dropped his figure and strode inside.
Her expression was relaxed and she was strolling as if she were walking in her back garden.
Colin couldn't help but become more curious about Shelley's identity.
It's a pity...this is a secret that belongs to Shelley alone and he cannot explore it.
Although the cave in front of them was wide, it was not deep. After walking a few steps, the two of them arrived at the end of the cave.
This is a roughly circular cave hall.
Except for a pool of water in the middle that is still flowing despite the cold weather, there is nothing else.
"It seems that the two monsters you killed are all that have been born here."
Shelley walked to the pool of water, which was only two meters in diameter, and leaned down to examine it carefully.
"So, this clear spring is the source of the birth of those ice and snow monsters?" Colin asked,
"I heard from the villagers in Gubei Village that monsters like that come to attack the village every once in a while."
"If there are no special circumstances, this is indeed the place where snow monsters are born." Shelley nodded and reached out to fish out a blue ice crystal from the pool.
Colin raised his eyebrows slightly.
The appearance of the blue ice crystal is exactly the same as the core of the snow monster, except that it is smaller, only about the size of a broad bean.
"Can we remove the source here and solve the problem of ice and snow monster attacks in Gubei Village once and for all?" Colin asked as he looked at the ice crystals.
Shelley was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
She stared at the pool in front of her, with regret in her eyes.
"You know, Colin, those ice and snow monsters don't actually attack humans."
"The Far North is a place full of life. They are all spirits born in this land that are independent of the world."
Shelley looked at Colin who looked puzzled and said:
"God is the most damning pollution in this world. He is dirty and ugly. He distorts all the good things and destroys all the precious things..."
"Are you saying that those ice and snow monsters attack humans because of the gods?" Colin walked to the waterhole and asked slowly.
"To be more precise, it's because of dirty talk." Shelley threw the blue ice crystal back into the pool, and then stuck his index finger into it.
Click——
The white cold air spread outward along Shelley's fingertips, condensing into ice flowers.
"These ice elves are less resistant to foul whispers than humans, and the concentration of foul whispers in the Far North is probably the highest in the Siya continent.
When the two are combined, it is easy for them to become twisted and crazy."
"Compared to degenerating into a believer in a god, this kind of pollution is more disorderly and crazy."
Colin nodded slightly and watched as the pool of water in front of him gradually condensed into a huge piece of white ice.
He knew that the concentration of filthy whispers in the Far North was higher, just as the concentration of magic energy was very low. As soon as he came here, he obviously felt something different from the city of Neustadt.
The external feeling is that it is more difficult to perform witchcraft, the spread distance of mental power is significantly shortened, and it is more difficult to concentrate during meditation.
Kakaka——
As the edge of the pool was gradually covered with white, the entire pool was completely frozen into ice.
"Is this okay?" Colin asked aloud.
"If you said remove the source, yes." Shelley stood up slowly, holding a white ball in his hand.
"for you."
"What is this?" Colin reached out and took the thumb-sized snow-white ball, with some confusion on his face.
"The essence of the ice spring, you can understand it as the essence of the cold pool here - the core where those ice and snow monsters are truly born."
Colin raised his right hand and looked at the ice spring essence that was exuding a misty cold air at the moment.
"It's losing energy, so if you don't want to waste it, you'd better eat it quickly," Shelley continued.
"It can give you the protection of ice and snow. In simple terms, it can be understood as a talent in ice and snow. For example, your ability to perform frost-based witchcraft will be enhanced in the future, and you will not get lost in a snowstorm."
Colin raised his eyebrows, looked at the ice spring essence in his hand and asked subconsciously: "Don't you need it?"
But he soon realized that his question was obviously nonsense. With Shelley's current talent for ice and snow, there was obviously no need for this so-called ice spring essence.
After a little mental perception, Colin raised his head and swallowed the essence of the ice spring without hesitation.
When the snow-white ball enters the throat, the feeling is not as cold as it looks, but just a slight chill, like drinking a glass of cold water.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The snow-white ball melted in the throat, and the soothing coolness slowly spread to the limbs.
Colin's brows gradually became covered with a layer of white frost, and his already fair skin now gained a bit of frosty coldness out of thin air.
Shelley waited quietly on the side. She looked at the cold pool that had merged with the surrounding ground, and couldn't help but sigh again.
This group of gods who came from nowhere brought not only endless wars, but also endless filth.
About five minutes later, Colin slowly opened his eyes.
"How do you feel?" Shelley asked aloud.
"It's okay." Colin nodded slowly, but his peripheral vision fell on the golden paper he had just summoned in front of him.
He scanned down quickly.
After a while, I finally found a new black character in the talent column——
[Talent: Frost (0/100)]
"Thanks."
Putting away the gold paper, Colin turned to Shelley and thanked him.
Perhaps for Shelley, this is just a matter of convenience, but the talent brought by the ice spring essence is not as understated as she said.
Colin's most intuitive feeling at this moment was that the cold air around him became less cold, and the surrounding ice and snow seemed a little more familiar.
Colin even felt that as long as he used his mental power at this moment, he could perform some tricks like ice picks and ice balls, and the power would probably be great.
Think about it, how could the cold pool that could continuously breed those ice and snow elves be a simple thing.
You must know that the strength of the ice and snow elf that you met later was already comparable to that of a second-level high-level wizard.
"You're welcome." Shelley curled her lips and said calmly.
Colin thought for a moment and took out a few blue luminous crystals from the storage ring.
"Maybe you can use these things."
These are the few blue cold crystals he took from the mine when he was stationed in Gubei Village in the past few days. He planned to go back to Neustadt City to study them.
Different from the Gubei stronghold, there is a clear quantity of blue cold crystals stored in the warehouse there, and in principle, they are not allowed to be taken away.
But it's different in Gubei Village.
Villagers in Gubei Village leave some blue cold crystals in almost every home for lighting.
So when the village chief of Hante asked if he wanted to take a few dollars back to study, he just accepted it.
After all, Lan Hanjing, who allowed the nine sects of Neustadt City to spend so much effort to establish a stronghold here, must be a good thing.
Shelley looked at the blue cold crystal in his hand, her two snow-colored willow eyebrows slightly wrinkled. She reached out to take the blue cold crystal, examined it carefully, and asked doubtfully:
"What is this and what is it used for?"
Colin shook his head: "I don't know either, I only know it's called Lan Han Jing."
"But... I didn't expect that even you don't know what this thing is? Didn't you say that there are things in this snow that you don't know yet?"
Colin laughed and joked.
However, he also had some doubts in his heart, so he continued to add:
"These blue cold crystals were excavated from the veins next to Gubei Village that I mentioned before."
Shelley's brows suddenly widened. She threw the blue cold crystal back to Colin and said:
"I probably know, these are just some useless ores."
Colin took the blue cold crystal, was slightly startled, and said:
"It's of no use...but the nine major sects in the city have set up a stronghold not far from Gubei Village specifically for this purpose, and there are wizards stationed all year round."
"It's not of much use. Maybe it can be used as a material for some research on frost witchcraft. Of course, it is limited to the first level and below. If divided by level, these blue cold crystals should only be regarded as zero-level materials."
Shelley shook her head. She watched Colin pause for a moment and said in a slightly mocking tone:
"As for why the nine sects set up a base here, it's not so much for these blue cold crystals, but more for Gubei Village."
Looking at the confused Colin, Shelley calmly said while walking out of the cave:
"Do you know the only way to improve the concentration of foul language in an area?"
Colin frowned and shook his head.
He knew about the dirty talk, but had never understood it in depth, but could these things that almost filled the entire world be improved through external forces?
"Human habitation, massive human habitation." Shelley said simply,
"The best thing to alleviate dirty talk is the light of the human soul. Laughter, communication... the breath of life and the establishment of order can significantly suppress dirty talk."
"The reason why the nine wizarding cities are all built in the center of the human kingdom is precisely for this reason."
Colin's brows gradually furrowed. He paused and said, "You mean, the reason why Gubei Village is here is to weaken the filthy nonsense in the Far North?"
He also thought that the villagers in Gubei Village were native aborigines who were born in the Far North, but according to Shelley, these people probably moved here later.
"But Gubei Village only has a few thousand people..." Colin continued.
"There are many villages like this." Shelley interrupted Colin's words, his eyes were dim and there seemed to be memories in his light blue eyes, "The Far North is vast, and Gubei Village is just one of them."
"But as for Lan Hanjing, the nine sects have been acquiring these things."
Shelley glanced at him and did not answer directly, but said:
"In the past, there were no human beings in the Far North, not even Gubei Village.
Be it other villages, they were all forced to relocate later."
"The environment here is harsh, there are almost no plants, and it is very difficult to make cooked food. It is not easy for even a wizard to live. Most ordinary people living here will die in their thirties, and over forty is considered a long life.
If it weren't for external force, no one would choose to settle here."
Shelley's tone was affirmative, as if he had seen it in person:
"In addition to blue cold crystal, I also know a similar ore called white stone... They all exist next to these human villages. They are the pillars of their survival and the cage that traps them here."
"I think you should understand the meaning of their existence."
Colin was silent, and gradually understood in his heart.
Although the external force mentioned by Shelley was not stated clearly, it reminded me of the stronghold set up here by the nine sects...
It goes without saying that what this so-called external force refers to is the wizard it refers to.
Perhaps it refers specifically to the wizards of the Nine Universities.
Were these villages like Gubei Village really specially created by wizards?
Perhaps the purpose is to reduce the dirty talk here?
Colin shook his head. He wasn't sure, but at least that was part of the reason.
As for Lan Hanjing - simply moving people from one place to another is not enough for them to settle down for a long time, and it is even harder for them to prosper.
The wizard who facilitated this incident obviously also understood this, so there were blue cold crystals and the like...
With these industries that allow them to survive and exchange resources, the villagers may have to consider the pros and cons even if they want to leave.
After all, in this dangerous world, ordinary people often don't have so many choices, and it is already difficult to survive.
