Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 350 New talent

  The two of Colin walked out of the glacier cave together.

  The white blizzard wall looks static from a distance, giving it an unreal feeling.

  Shelley identified the direction, led him upright, and plunged into the frantic snowstorm.

   "Follow me closely." Shelley whispered something, her figure was like the ice and snow monster before, unaffected by the blizzard at all.

  The cold wind blowing in front of her became like a spring breeze, and those flying snowflakes also spontaneously avoided her.

   Colin, who was following behind, couldn't help being 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 is coming.

  When the core of the snow monster shuttled through the snowstorm before, those snowflakes would not change direction.

   About ten minutes passed.

  The two of them traveled through the snowstorm and came to a continuous ice and snow mountain range.

   "Should be approaching the snow monster's lair, I can feel the same breath as the snow monster in front of me." Shelley said.

   "Are there more snow monsters?" Colin asked subconsciously.

   "Not necessarily, it just has the same breath."

  Colin nodded slowly, followed Shelley and continued to fly forward. After a while, the two came to the entrance of a cave.

  The entrance of the elliptical cave is about ten meters high, obviously larger than the previous cave on the spine-like glacier, and the tunnel inside is also very wide, looking more like a place that can accommodate huge ice and snow monsters.

   It’s just that the cave here is not made of pure ice like the previous Ridge Glacier, but ice and snow wrap the rock wall.

  Shelley lowered his figure and strode in.

  Her expression is relaxed, and she looks like she is walking in the back garden of her own home.

  Colin couldn't help being more curious about Shelley's identity.

  It's a pity... This is a secret that belongs to Shelley alone, and he can't explore it.

  Although the cave in front of them was wide, it was not deep. After walking a few steps, the two of them came to the end of the cave.

  Here is a roughly circular cave.

   Except for a pool of water that is still flowing under the freezing cold in the middle, there is nothing else.

   "It seems that the two monsters you solved are all that is bred here."

  Shelley walked to the side of the pool, which was no more than two meters in diameter, and bent down to examine it carefully.

   "So, this Wang Qingquan is the source of the birth of those ice and snow monsters?" Colin asked,

   "I heard from the villagers of Gubei Village that that kind of monster would come to attack the village every once in a while."

   "If there are no special circumstances, this is indeed the place where the snow monsters were bred." Shelley nodded, and reached out to fish out a blue ice crystal from the pool.

  Colin frowned slightly.

  The shape of the blue ice crystal is exactly the same as that of the snow monster's core, but it is a little smaller, only about the size of a broad bean.

   "Can you pull out the source here and solve the problem of ice and snow monster attacks in Gubei Village once and for all?" Colin looked at the ice crystal and asked.

  Shelley was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

  She stared at the pool of water in front of her, with regret in her eyes.

   "Did you know, Colin, those ice and snow monsters would not attack humans at all."

   "The land of the extreme north is a place full of vitality, and they are all spirits bred in this land that are indifferent to the world."

  Shelley glanced at Colin who was puzzled, and said again:

  "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..."

   "You mean those ice and snow monsters attack humans because of gods?" Colin walked to the pool and asked slowly.

   "More precisely, it's because of filthy raving." Shelley threw the blue ice crystal back into the pool of water, and then stuck his index finger into it.

  ka—

  The white cold air spread outward along Shelley's fingertips, condensing into ice flowers one by one.

   "Compared with humans, these ice and snow elves are less resistant to filthy ravings, and the concentration of filthy ravings in the extreme north is probably the highest in the Siya continent.

  Combined, it's easy to make them twist and go crazy. "

   "Compared to falling into a believer in gods, this kind of pollution is more disorderly and insane."

  Colin nodded slightly, watching the pool of water in front of him gradually condense into a huge white ice cube.

   He knows that the concentration of filthy ravings is higher in the extreme north, just like the concentration of magic energy is very low. Once he came here, he obviously felt a little different from the city of Neustadt.

  The external feeling is that it is more difficult to cast witchcraft, the spread distance of spiritual power is significantly shortened, and it is more difficult to concentrate when meditating.

  KaKaKa—

  As the edge of the pool water was gradually covered in white, the entire pool was declared to have completely condensed into ice.

   "Is that all right?" Colin asked aloud.

   "If you said to pull out this source, yes." Shelley stood up slowly, holding a white ball in his hand.

"Give you."

   "This is?" Colin reached out to take the snow-white ball the size of a thumb, with some doubts on his face.

   "The essence of the ice spring, you can understand it as the essence of the cold pool here—the core that really gave birth to those ice and snow monsters."

  Colin raised his right hand, looking at the ice spring essence that was exuding a misty cold air at the moment.

   "It is evaporating energy. If you don't want to waste it, you'd better eat it quickly." Shelley continued.

   "It can give you the shelter of ice and snow. Simply put, it can be understood as the talent in ice and snow. For example, the ability to cast frost-like 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 subconsciously asked, "Don't you need it?"

  But soon he realized that his question was obviously nonsense, and with Shelley's current talent for ice and snow, it was obvious that the so-called ice spring essence was not needed.

  After a little mental perception, Colin swallowed the ice spring essence without hesitation.

  The snow-white ball enters the throat, but the feeling is not as cold as it looks, but slightly cool, like drinking a glass of cold water.

  The snow-white ball melted in the throat, and the soothing coolness slowly spread to the limbs.

  Colin's brows were gradually covered with a layer of frost, and his already fair skin was now even more frosty and cold out of thin air.

  Shelley waited quietly at the side. Looking at the cold pool that had already merged with the surrounding ground, she couldn't help but sighed again.

  This group of gods who came from nowhere brought not only endless wars, but also endless filth.

  After about five minutes, Colin slowly opened his eyes.

   "How does it feel?" Shelley asked aloud.

   "It's okay." Colin nodded slowly, but his peripheral vision fell on the golden paper just summoned in front of him.

  He glances 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 thank Shelley.

   Perhaps for Shelley, this is just a matter of convenience, but the talent brought by the essence of the ice spring is not as understated as she said.

  At this moment, Colin's most intuitive feeling is that the cold air around him has become less cold, and the surrounding ice and snow seem to be a little more familiar.

  Colin even felt that as long as he unleashed his mental power at this moment, he could perform some small tricks like ice picks and ice hockey, and the power might not be small.

  Think about it too, how could the cold pool that can continuously breed those ice and snow elves be a simple thing.

   You must know that the strength of the ice and snow elf you met later was comparable to that of a second-level senior wizard.

   "You're welcome." Shelley said lightly, bending the corners of her mouth.

  Colin thought for a while, and took out a few blue luminous crystals from the storage ring with his backhand.

   "Maybe you can use these things."

   These are a few cold blue crystals that 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 and study.

  Different from the ancient north stronghold, there is a definite quantity of cold blue crystals stored in the warehouse there, and it is not allowed to take it away in principle.

  But it is different in Gubei Village.

  In almost every house of the villagers of Gubei Village, some blue cold crystals are left for lighting.

  So when the village head of Hunter asked if he wanted to take a few dollars back for research, he readily accepted it.

   After all, Lan Hanjing, who was able to make the Nine University Schools of Neustadt spend so much effort to establish a stronghold here, should be a good thing.

  Shelley looked at the Lan Hanjing in his hand, and the two snow-colored willow eyebrows frowned slightly. She reached out to take the Lan Hanjing, examined it carefully, and asked in doubt:

   "What is this and what is it for?"

  Colin shook his head: "I don't know either, I only know it's called Lan Hanjing."

   "But... I didn't expect that even you don't know what this thing is? Didn't you say that there is nothing unknown in this snowfield?"

  Colin laughed and joked.

   But he also had some doubts in his heart, so he continued to add:

   "These cold blue crystals were excavated from the vein next to Gubei Village that I mentioned earlier."

  Shelley's brows suddenly relaxed, and she threw Lan Hanjing back to Colin, saying:

   "I probably know, these are just some useless ores."

  Colin took Lan Hanjing, slightly startled, and said:

   "It's useless...but the Nine University Schools in the city have set up a stronghold not far from Gubei Village for this purpose, and there are wizards stationed all year round."

   "It's not very useful, maybe it can be used as some research materials for frost witchcraft. Of course, it's limited to below the first level. If it's divided by level, these cold blue crystals should only be regarded as zero-level materials."

  Shelley shook her head, she looked at Colin and paused for a moment with a slightly mocking tone:

   "As for why the Nine University Schools set up a stronghold here, it is not so much for these blue cold crystals, it is more for Gubei Village."

  Looking at the confused Colin, Shelley calmly said as he walked out of the cave:

   "Do you know what the only way to improve the concentration of filthy raving in an area is?"

   Colin frowned and shook his head.

  He knows the filthy raving, but he has never understood it in depth, but can these things that almost fill the whole world be improved through external forces?

   "Human habitation, human habitation in large numbers." Shelley said simply,

   "The best thing to alleviate dirty raving is the light of human mind. Laughter, communication... the breath of life and the establishment of order can significantly suppress dirty raving."

   "The reason why the cities of the nine wizards are all built in the center of the human kingdom is precisely for this reason."

  Colin's brows gradually frowned, he paused and said: "You mean, the reason why Gubei Village is here is to weaken the filthy ravings in the extreme north?"

  He thought that the villagers in Gubei Village were native aborigines born in the extreme north, but according to Shelley, these people probably moved here later.

   "But there are only a few thousand people in Gubei Village..." Colin continued.

   "There are many villages like this." Shelley interrupted Colin's words, his eyes were dark, and there seemed to be memories in the light blue eyes, "The land in the extreme north is vast, and Gubei Village is just one of them."

   "But Lan Hanjing, the Nine Schools have been buying these things."

  Shelley glanced at him, did not answer directly, but said:

   "In the past, there was no human existence in the extreme north. Whether it is Gubei Village or other villages, they were all forced to relocate here 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 their forties are considered long-lived.

  If it were not forced by external forces, no one would choose to settle here. "

  Shelley’s tone was affirmative, as if he had seen it personally:

   "In addition to the blue cold crystal, I also know a similar ore called white stone... They all exist next to these human villages. They are the pillars they rely on for survival, and they are also the cages that trap them here."

   "I think, you should understand the meaning of their existence."

  Colin was silent, and his heart gradually became clear.

  The external force mentioned by Shelley, although not explicitly stated, but it is associated with the stronghold specially established by the Nine University School here...

  The so-called external force refers to something, which is obviously self-evident, and it is the wizard referred to.

  Maybe it refers specifically to the wizards of the Nine Schools.

  These villages of Gubei Village were actually specially created by wizards?

  Perhaps the purpose is to reduce the filthy raving here?

  Colin shook his head. He wasn't sure, but at least part of it was.

  As for Lan Hanjing—just moving people from one place to another is not enough for them to settle down for a long time, and it is even more difficult for them to prosper.

  The wizard who made this happen at the beginning obviously also understood this, so there were blue cold crystals and the like...

  With these industries that they can rely on for their survival and exchange for resources, even if those villagers want to leave, they probably have to consider the pros and cons.

   After all, in this dangerous world, ordinary people often don't have so many choices, and it is not easy to survive.
