Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1262 - 815: The Doorway to a New World
Leaving Luck City, the players continued to fly north. ππ«πππ¨ππ―ππ πππ.ππΌπ
Speaking of which, they originally planned to spend the night in Luck City. However, after gaining free access to the mines, they decided to move on to prevent the nobles from turning against them.
Luck City is already near the northern border of the Holy Mania Empire. Further north lies only the military stronghold of Colin Castle, facing the Extreme Northern Icefield directly.
However, the players do not intend to stop at Colin Castle.
Colin Castle is stationed with many of the Human Empireβs armies, which might cause trouble for the players.
Although with their ten Gold Professionals, one adult dragon, and ten young dragons, their overall strength can allow them to walk across most places with ease, if they do encounter a Legendary Professional who holds hostility towards them, things might indeed go wrong.
The Holy Mania Empire is vast, occupying nearly two-thirds of the central and northern Segis Continent. Along the way, the players walked and stopped, witnessing the grand and beautiful landscapes of the Human Kingdom.
After all, the Origin Plane, compared to Minder and Oros, shows Segis Continent as far more fertile and magnificent overall.
When night fell completely and the sky was studded with brilliant stars, the players finally left the territory of the Holy Mania Empire and reached the Extreme Northern Icefield, home to the Beastman Alliance.
The Extreme Northern Icefield is not truly an icefield. Strictly speaking, the terrain here consists of alpine tundra combined with grasslands.
Due to the harsh climate and thin soil layers, the plant distribution on the Extreme Northern Icefield becomes gradually sparse from bottom to top, with decreasing variety.
Here, tall trees have already vanished, leaving only short shrubs, perennial herbs, lichens, and mosses. The types of demon beasts and animals are also relatively singular, with few species, mainly including ice deer, white foxes, white weasels, snow wind rabbits, and alpine muskoxen living on the icefield.
During winter, this vast plateau is covered with heavy snow in many places, adding to the continuous snow mountains in the distance, making it look like a world of ice and snow, hence its name the Extreme Northern Icefield.
Riding on the giant dragons, the players entered the icefield, where traces of intelligent creaturesβ activities were almost invisible on the ground.
According to Golden Dragon Romannos, who once traveled in the Extreme North Wilderness, the beastman tribes are all gathered further east where there is a basin rich in water and grass, next to the sacred snowy mountain of the War God, which is the core of the entire Beastman Alliance.
However, near Colin Castle, there is also a canyon leading to the icefield, frequently traversed by caravans. So near Colin Castle, on the icefield, there is a Free City named Bola that flourishes from trade, not governed by any power and only periodically paying protection fees to the Beastman Alliance.
Of course, since the players didnβt head towards Colin Castle, they didnβt go there either.
Tonight, they will camp in the wild.
"It is summer now, and the icefieldβs climate is still decent. If it were winter, it would probably be much colder, with frequent snowstorms."
"Summer is the most beautiful time on the Extreme Northern Icefield, where many large flowers grow, vividly colorful, forming clusters and clusters, large swathes forming flower seas. They bloom towards the sun, intertwined with low grasslands, forming undulating waves that sway with the wind, very charming..."
"Unfortunately, itβs night now, so you all canβt see it."
"However, the weather tonight is nice, though we canβt see the flower sea, perhaps we can witness the beautiful aurora..."
Romannos said, like an experienced traveler.
Indeed, it is true. Another characteristic of golden dragons is a fondness for places with beautiful scenery, even choosing such spots for nesting.
Aurora...
Upon hearing the dragonβs words, a trace of yearning appeared in the playersβ eyes.
Even Eve couldnβt help but glance over.
Though she could use Divine Power to conjure all sorts of magnificent scenes, what she creates herself is not comparable to what forms naturally, giving completely different feelings.
However, Romannosβs claim that night prevents players from seeing the flower sea is not entirely accurate.
The elves have excellent vision with strong night vision ability. Although the scenery appears color-distorted at night, they can still see clearly.
But certainly, itβs not as colorful and captivating as during the day.
The group continued flying north, flying...
After passing over a towering snow mountain, they arrived at a vast valley.
Within the valley, there was a huge cave; it was an abandoned dragon lair discovered by Golden Dragon Romannos while traveling in the Extreme North Wilderness, which once belonged to a white dragon.
Romannos once stayed here for a while, using it as a temporary nest.
And tonight, it will also be the place where he and the players rest.
However, upon flying over the snow mountain and arriving at the canyon, the players didnβt first take in the scenery of the valley; instead, they looked at the northern sky.
Only to see the deep sky above spread with splendid and beautiful light.
It was the aurora.
A spectacular sight that any brush or language finds hard to depict, the light floated lightly, flickering, emitting red, blue, green, and purple hues...
Sometimes it looked like beautiful towering columns above, sometimes suddenly transforming into a drawn curtain, and sometimes quickly spiraled into a band.
