Chapter 220 Another point and one link of origin
"What about you?" After thinking about it, Gothe asked again.
“What?” Du Wei didn’t react.
“You said that you had your own reasons for climbing Dandong Snow Peak, which means that you did not just do it to challenge yourself.”
Gaode spread his hands and said: “So, yes What’s the reason? ”
It is unreasonable no matter how you look at it, for a rich young man who is not here to inherit the family business and come to such a place to do such a dangerous thing.
“The first is to complete a certain test and task, and the second is to relieve stress.”
Du Wei looked at Gothe calmly and found that he seemed to be doing it because he rarely had the opportunity to talk to others. He spoke his true inner thoughts, so once he opened the conversation, he couldn't hold it back.
"You should be able to tell that I come from a relatively wealthy family, so the education I received since I was a child is to inherit the family's burden in the future."
"I don't doubt my own ability, but this burden still makes me feel troubled and even uncomfortable.”
"There are very few people in this world who have to bear as much pressure as me at this age."
Gaode was not surprised by Du Wei's remarks.
Because he had long seen that the other party had an extraordinary background.
Gaode, who has been influenced by film and television dramas in his previous life, also understands very well that for these "gongzi brothers", they either have no worries and indulge in drinking and sex all day long, or their spirits and lives are so tense that they cut off all entertainment.
To use a witty saying, "I can't be happy when I think about inheriting the family business."
Of course, Gao De at this time could never imagine what a huge family fortune Du Wei's "family burden" was.
So, he just comforted him in a matter-of-fact way: "Who in the world is not stressed? No matter how great the pressure is, can it still overcome the pressure of life and death? Life has to go on as usual."
< br>Gaode is actually using himself as an example.
When he first came to this world, Master Seda's "test medicine" was the Sword of Damoris hanging above his head, which would fall down and behead him at any time.
It was quite a stressful situation, but he still ate and slept as usual.
He did this, so he also enlightened the other party in this way.
Du Wei was startled.
This is also the first time he has been "refuted" by outsiders.
But he surprisingly did not dislike the experience.
Just not being disgusted does not mean that he agrees. He looked at Gothe and said seriously: "Some pressures are indeed better than personal life and death."
Gothe shook his head, feeling that the overly handsome young man in front of him was somewhat "hypocritical".
However, it is important to avoid shallow talk and deep talk in relationships, so Gaode would not really start a debate with Du Wei. He just said casually: "Maybe, but that level of pressure is still very little. The probability is just that you have magnified it."
"Do you still want to be the emperor?" He joked.
Du Wei glanced at Gothe.
That is an extremely "weird" look.
It reveals an intriguing sense of playfulness, which makes Gaode feel fuzzy after watching it.
Then Du Wei laughed out loud.
I laughed out loud with great joy.
He knew that the other party had good intentions and wanted to comfort him and let him relax.
But why do you feel more pressure?
But the pressure is obviously greater, but I feel like I have relaxed a little.
It seems like I haven’t laughed so happily for a long time.
Du Wei thought.
I rested for most of the day.
Du Wei offered to leave.
"I've almost recovered."
He explained seriously: "I'm going to continue setting off. My time is very tight, so I can't spend too much time at Dandong Snow Peak."
< br>Everyone has said this, so Gaode will naturally not raise any objections.
"Then take care." He said
"You too." Du Wei said.
Flora raised her head and looked at Gothe.
"Do you need to say anything, Flora?"
"No need."
"Oh."
".If you want to say It’s not impossible.”
"Then take care." Flora said happily, imitating the mage.
"Lord Flora, too." Du Wei knelt down and bent down until his eyes were level with Flora's, and then said to her in an extremely gentle voice.
Yes, gentleness, not gentleness.
If anyone who knows Du Wei is here, they may be scared out of their eyes.
There are actually people in the world who can make Du Wei bend down and call him "adult".
Standing up, Du Wei was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Would you like to compete to see who can reach the top first?"
Du Wei didn't know why he made such a suggestion.
But in short, I just want to.
Gaode was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then you may have to humiliate yourself."
Du Wei seemed not to have expected that he would receive such a response.
There was a hint of seriousness in his voice: "You are the first person who dares to speak to me like this."
"But I don't want to attract your attention." No wonder Gu Long's lines were picked up. He has the style of a "domineering president" and Gaode has always had a good mentality. One of the manifestations of this is that he always makes some inappropriate and cold jokes at various times.
Unfortunately, Du Wei still can't understand this joke.
He just turned around silently, headed towards the top of the mountain, and started again.
No matter how prominent Du Wei's birth is, no matter how great the pressure he bears, and no matter how cold-blooded he is, he is still just a seventeen-year-old young man under the age of eighteen.
In Gaode's previous life, this age could not even be called a youth, but was more appropriately called a teenager.
Everyone who has experienced this age can understand the feeling of suffering in adolescence and trying to suppress your emotions because of dogma or academic pressure.
And this kind of depression is often released in various ways after the "college entrance examination".
In this way, youth is considered complete.
Du Wei had no chance to do this.
He can only spend his "adolescence" that should be full of passion and rebellion with impeccable perfection, and then become a real "adult".
However, now, he seems to have the opportunity to experience a little bit of the experience of a "young man".
Silence, but excited.
After a strong wind.
Many places have changed in Dandong Xuefeng.
For the ecology of the entire mountain, this is not worth mentioning.
But for individuals and local areas, these changes are still very prominent.
One of the most intuitive feelings of Gaode is that it clearly feels that there are more animals and earth-line creatures encountered.
Another point is that, whether it is caused by strong winds or due to the increase in altitude, few people have set foot in the area where Gaode is now setting foot.
In short, he gradually began to discover some snowy plants that were still valuable in the outside world.
Only two hours after leaving his base, Gothe discovered three magic plants that were almost exposed on the surface.
Two of them are zero-level magic plants, and one is a first-level magic plant.
The market price of level 0 magic plants is between 2-4 gold, with an average price of 3 gold.
The value of a first-level magic plant is between 12-15 gold.
In other words, in just a short period of time, the net income is close to 20 gold.
Dandong Xuefeng is like this.
You can imagine the broader northern territory. It is definitely a treasure land full of gold.
“Why did the mage dig it?”
While Gothe used the Fang of Hidden Mist he carried as a small dagger, he worked hard to dig out the first-order magic plant he finally found. , Flora, who had been watching for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask.
“It’s valuable.” Gao Deyan said concisely and comprehensively.
"How valuable."
"About 13 or 14 gold coins."
"So much?!"
"This is an ideal situation, we have to put it Only by taking it down the mountain and sending it to a city far away from the snowy areas can it be sold at this price, and you need to pay the corresponding transportation costs, and you have to ensure that it does not lose its spirituality during transportation," Gao De explained patiently.
"Don't lose your spirituality." Flora thought for a moment, and then said: "Then Master, you shouldn't use it to dig."
Flora was referring to the Fang of the Hidden Mist.
"Why?" Gao De was stunned for a moment.
“Because it will pollute it.”
It’s a bit convoluted, but Gaode can understand it. "How to dig?"
"Dig with your hands."
"Can the mage's hand be used?"
"Yes."
"How did Lady Flora know?"
“It told me.”
"Lord Flora is so smart." Gothe praised him sincerely this time.
Putting away the Fang of the Hidden Mist, and just using the hand of the mage to pocket the first-order magic plant in front of her, Flora suddenly fluttered her small wings, entered an alert state, and issued a warning Signal.
"Mage!"
Gaode received the signal and immediately concentrated.
This time he does not need to use [Detection Magic+] to find the enemy's traces.
Because the enemy just popped up from the snow in front of him.
Still a small ice element.
But a group.
Gaode glanced at it and came up with the exact number.
5.
The body size is four small and one large.
The small one is similar to the small ice elemental that I encountered at the beginning, equivalent to a mage in the early stage of the first level.
As for the big one, it is one level stronger, and is already equivalent to a mid-level mage.
Even the ice element has low intelligence and is a soft persimmon among earth-line creatures.
But the current quantity and quality of the ice element group is still a big challenge for Gaode.
After all, he had only been promoted to a first-level mage for more than a month.
Not even able to learn and master any damaging first-level spells.
But Gaode didn’t say he was panicking.
A sufficient number of tricks, coupled with the ascending circle casting, also gives enough confidence.
Waiting for this group of ice elements to react or show off their power, Gaode had already taken the lead.
[Magic Energy Explosion] Two consecutive shots were fired between the lightning and flint.
When raising the level and casting a spell, the energy beams of [Magic Explosion] will become two.
The second burst was four, which happened to be directed at the four smaller ice elements.
As for the leading large and small ice element, it is a special treatment.
What Gaode gave was [Flame Arrow+].
Five magic attacks with trajectories flew out one after another, with an interval of less than one second.
The small ice elemental has low intelligence, but he is not a fool after all, and he still has the fighting instincts he should have.
So after discovering Gothe's attack, they all started to dodge. Those who could not dodge spit out ice whirlpools and engage in head-on confrontation with Gothe's magic attack.
The four small ice elements were unscathed by the first wave of [Magic Explosion] attacks.
[Magic Explosion] can still be avoided, but the precise orbit adjustment ability of [Fire Arrow+] caught the leading ice element by surprise.
After it thought it had avoided Gothe's attack and relaxed its vigilance slightly, the flame beam made an unreasonable trajectory adjustment and exploded directly on its body.
The attack power of up to 16 degrees, coupled with the restraint relationship, made it suffer a heavy blow for a while.
Woo!
It made a sharp sound, opened its mouth wide, and in anger, prepared to counterattack Gothe.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
But that's it at this moment.
A strange ringing sound suddenly rang in the air.
【The Death Knell of the Dead】.
Gothe has just cast [Skating Technique], walking on the snow like a flat ground, and has come within the casting distance of [Death Knell].
[Dead Man's Knell] itself has a power of 8 degrees. When faced with an injured target, the power can be increased to 12 degrees. After raising the ring and casting a spell, the power is 24 degrees.
[Fire Arrow+] has already caused damage to it first.
So, this ice element will bear the highest spell power of [Death Knell].
The powerful magic power of up to 24 degrees made the leading ice element instantly feel an unprecedented crisis.
This is not only the oppression of the power of the spell itself, but every syllable of [Dead Man's Knell] seems to directly shake the depths of its soul and hit its spiritual core.
Its body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the surface of its body made of frost was covered with a layer of shadow.
[Dead Knell] causes necrotic damage.
This type of damage can have a certain impact on the target's spirit, and can also interrupt spell casting at critical moments.
Just like now, the ice vortex that the large ice element was about to spit out suddenly stopped in an instant.
But Gaode did not stop his offensive.
While its mental consciousness was still eroded by the [Death Knell] and had not fully recovered, the second [Flame Arrow+] had been shot from Gothe's hand.
Pointing directly at the chest of the small ice elemental ice soul stone.
There is the core of life of the ice element, which is equivalent to the human head.
And an invisible layer of transparent magic light waves has emerged around Gothe, forming an invisible barrier.
[Shield Technique].
This is to protect against possible attacks from the other four ice elements.
Although Gaode has many tricks, there are actually very few group damage spells, and most of them have a limited casting distance.
So his current strategy can only be to blast at fixed points and defeat them one by one.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
Gaode’s primary target is naturally the large ice element in the lead.
The flame beam cut through the air. Even at a low temperature of nearly minus 50 degrees, it was still hot and did not go out. It went straight to the target.
The ice element sensed the approaching threat, and its first reaction was to avoid it.
But due to the influence of [Death Knell], its reactions and movements are much slower.
The flaming arrow accurately hit its chest.
It has been hit hard one after another. Even if its level is higher, it is almost reaching its limit at this moment.
At this moment, with the blessing of [Skating Skill], Gothe has become very close to this group of ice elements.
His heart moved and he closed his eyes in time.
Then, a burst of dazzling light bloomed at Gothe's fingertips, instantly illuminating the surrounding area.
【Flash Technique】!
It is a rare group control spell in magic. Although it does not have direct lethality, it can temporarily dazzle all creatures within the distance, regardless of whether it is friend or foe.
As a spell caster, Gothe can naturally close his eyes in advance to become immune to the spell effect of [Flash].
These small ice elements can't do this.
The bright light cut through the darkness like lightning, instantly causing all ice elements to fall into a state of temporary blindness.
They roared in anger and confusion, and instinctively covered the front with their hands, trying to block possible attacks.
And Gaode has already taken advantage of this momentary opportunity, and once again condensed a blazing flame in his palm.
[Flame Arrow+] was shot from his hand again, drawing a perfect arc and accurately hitting the leading large ice element again.
The collision of flames and frost, and at this distance, the sound of chi chi can be heard clearly.
With a shrill wail, the body of the ice element began to collapse, instantly turning into groups of broken ice crystals scattered on the ground.
The rest of the small ice elements, as soon as they recovered from the dazed state, found that their leader had died, and they were suddenly panicked.
Although their intelligence is low, they can feel the threat caused by the death of their leader.
The four small ice elements actually made the same decision at this moment.
escape!
They ran away like crazy, trying to escape from this battlefield.
But Gaode would never let them go so easily.
This is an excellent opportunity to collect the essence of [Small Ice Element].
Gaode thought and fired two more [Magic Explosions] one after another.
Originally, if it were a serious battle, these ice elements would be able to deal with [Magic Energy Explosion] with ease.
But at this moment, they were so panicked that they were completely focused on running away and had no intention of paying attention to Gaode's attack.
The more this happens, the easier it is to deal with.
Several roars sounded in succession, and this wave of offensive hit all of them.
It's just that the body of the ice element itself is relatively resistant to beatings, and the [Magic Explosion] ring-raising spell increases the number of rays, not the attack power, so they can completely withstand this attack.
Seeing this, Gothe frowned, knowing that if he wanted to catch them all again, he would most likely let all the remaining four small ice elements go.
He decisively changed his strategy and cast [Fire Arrow+], which threatened them the most, and continued to defeat them one by one.
Of four small ice elements, under Gothe's pursuit, only one lucky one escaped.
