Chapter 825: Chapter 486: Guardianship
The starlight was chilling, the ice plain was bitterly cold.
But at this moment, the hazy night between Colin and the other person seemed so alluring.
They stood quietly on the mountaintop, not speaking a word.
Colin rubbed the Casarate in his hand; the seemingly cold five-petaled flower felt as warm and smooth as jade.
At that moment, apart from joy, what swirled in his heart was thicker responsibility.
In this world, which could overturn at any moment, anything beautiful was fragile and illusory.
“I need to go to the glacier,” Shelley suddenly said after an unknown period.
“What’s wrong?”
“I feel the opportunity to advance to the Fourth Rank,” Shelley said.
In fact, for Shelley, rather than advancing to Fourth Rank, it was more of restoring her Fourth Rank strength.
Joy appeared on Colin’s face, and after a pause, he asked, “Do you need my help?”
Shelley nodded, “I cannot be disturbed by the outside world while advancing.”
“I will protect you,” Colin nodded gently.
…
Meanwhile, the wizard troops were marching forward.
“What is that?”
In mid-air, Gard suddenly asked Booster.
Following his gaze, a gray-white Blizzard Wall came into Booster’s view.
“This is…” He frowned, as the special place before them was not mentioned in the information given by Lentria.
Such a peculiar place, Booster didn’t believe the wizards of Siya Continent knew nothing about it.
Obviously, Lentria hadn’t given them all the information.
“Stop advancing, set up camp here!”
At this point, Lentria’s voice suddenly reached Booster and Gard.
Under the influence of witchcraft, his voice also reached the other wizards, and the entire wizard troops halted immediately.
…
Lentria looked cautiously at the Blizzard Wall not far away.
This strange place born in the Extreme North has been recorded in Graham City, where it was called the Eye of the Extreme North.
The time of birth for the Eye of the Extreme North is unknown, but the earliest records can be traced back to when Graham City was just built.
This is a place older than Graham City itself.
However, contrary to its majestic exterior.
Aside from the perpetual Blizzard Wall on the outside, the Eye of the Extreme North holds nothing particularly special.
During the early days when Graham City was established, the wizards there had almost explored the entire Extreme North, including the Eye of the Extreme North.
Or rather, the Eye of the Extreme North was precisely the focus of exploration.
Yet, even the then Supreme Councilmen couldn’t find anything special inside the Eye of the Extreme North. The climate was exceptionally harsh and frigid here.
So gradually, wizards stopped coming.
Even unwilling wizards who returned found themselves uninterested after hundreds to even thousands of years of fruitless searches.
In Lentria’s generation, he remembers visiting once in his teenage years, driven by curiosity and fantasy.
The majestic appearance of the Eye of the Extreme North satisfied a part of his fantasy. But its empty and barren interior left Lentria greatly disappointed.
His thoughts gradually dissipated, and Lentria frowned slightly.
‘The Eye of the Extreme North… seems to have changed?’
Hundreds of years have blurred memories, and Lentria was unsure, but the blizzard wall seemed far more majestic and thicker than before?
‘Could it be divine influence?’
After pondering for a moment, he instructed his aide, “Dispatch wizards to scout for information.”
“Yes.” The deputy nodded, passing the order to the front commander of the wizard troops.
That was Booster and Gard’s ears.
…
“Enter to investigate…” Booster’s face sank.
But reality didn’t permit refusal, looking at the wizards of the Nolan Continent below, he sighed inwardly, turning to Gard seriously:
“Let me go alone, as a Fourth Rank Wizard, even if I encounter a divine avatar, there’s a chance to escape…”
“No.” Gard shook his head, speaking solemnly, “Our lives are more crucial to the people of the Nolan Continent. It’s just reconnaissance, let two voluntary Second Rank Wizards take your place.”
Booster tightened his lips; Gard’s words felt cold and piercing, but logic affirmed it as the best choice.
Yet, looking at the Nolan Continent wizards below, Booster’s heart was heavy with gloom.
He recalled the vow made to mentors and elders when appointed as captain of the Nolan upon the fall of Nolan Continent.
But now…
“Wait.”
At this moment, Gard suddenly frowned deeply, looking with a grave expression at the Blizzard Wall ahead.
Suddenly, the Blizzard Wall started ‘boiling’!
Large plumes of smoke-like snowflakes rose from the Blizzard Wall as if a reversing white waterfall.
“Be alert!” Lentria’s order came again.
Simultaneously, Booster and Gard received the command, “Send someone to investigate immediately!”
Booster’s expression shifted, yet he ultimately said sternly, “I’ll go after all.”
Without waiting for Gard’s reply, he swiftly flew towards the Blizzard Wall!
“Booster…” Gard was stunned, finally sighing.
