Chapter 833 Abandoned Camp
The explorer’s record was indeed correct.
The camp he once recorded in his book is now directly below Ronald.
"..."
I found the goal of my trip.
Ronald naturally began to slowly descend from the sky to the ground.
To be honest, he was also quite curious.
It is impossible for ordinary people to establish a base on the Arctic ice cap. They do not have the ability and will not do such a thing.
As for the magicians...
it is understandable to establish a camp in an inaccessible place, but why should it be established in such a remote place?
As far as the actual situation of Entrod is concerned.
In the tundra zone located in the north of the continent, you can also achieve the purpose of not being discovered by ordinary people by finding any place. Not to mention reaching the North Pole, there is no need to cross the road to the top of the mountain.
"..."
"Just take a quick look..."
Regarding this situation, Ronald still planned to take a closer look at the situation.
When he reached the ground, he stepped forward to take a closer look, and then he realized that the camp existed in a small ice hill completely covered by solid ice.
Due to the passage of time and the influence of the weather on the ice-covered continent itself, this camp has been completely covered by solid ice.
Even if you sweep away the snow covering it, you can barely see the shadow of the internal buildings.
Ronald circled around and came to the weakest point of the ice wall.
The traces left by explorers hundreds of years ago can even be seen today.
In the direction leading to the interior of the camp.
Someone once used tools to chip away part of the ice, but it was too difficult to enter later, so they chose to give up in desperation.
From what Ronald saw with his own eyes.
Although during these hundreds of years, the polar continent itself once again buried the traces of the other party's excavations. But at the location where the explorer excavated, the two ice walls with slightly different colors still prove the great journey he made here.
As an ordinary person.
What a dangerous and difficult journey the explorer went through to get here alone...
Brush -
Ronald looked at the traces quietly for a few seconds.
Then the sword of Santa Caterina was held in his hand, and the [Power of the Sun] also covered the sword body.
However, he did not choose to open a passage directly into the interior from this weakest position. Instead, he specifically went to a position nearby that would not affect the traces left by previous explorers, and then slashed at the ice wall in front of him with his sword.
This is just a small choice.
Ronald though might take a little more work.
But he feels that if brave people continue to reach the North Pole in the future, it would be better if they can see the 'monument' left by this former explorer when they come here.
...
With Ronald's continuous breakthroughs going forward.
The hard wall that prevented explorers from exploring further hundreds of years ago was soon carved out by him.
Follow here directly to the inside of the ice wall.
There is another unique scenery inside.
Directly below the ice mound, the entire space was actually hollowed out. A camp that looked a bit ancient but also revealed a solemn aesthetic was built here by the people of the past.
The main purpose of this type of campsite is to provide shelter from the ice and snow.
After all, compared to the ice-covered mainland where cold winds blow or heavy snow falls from time to time, it is safer to be protected by solid ice below.
And walk in it.
This feeling is as interesting as an igloo whose size has been expanded to the limit.
"This place..."
"It's really nice, isn't it?"
Just like that, he broke through the seal and entered the interior. While sighing with emotion, Ronald's progress suddenly slowed down.
He looked at the northeastern location of the entire camp.
There was deep doubt and confusion in his eyes.
Because there is a hidden magic circle around the ice that surrounds the entire camp to block detection and protect safety. Ronald did not emit radiation until he completely penetrated it and broke through it. This situation was noticed in the fluctuation of magic power.
In this case, there is no doubt that this is the camp established by the mysterious side.
After all, the emergence of the magic circle has already confirmed this.
But what really changed Ronald's mood...
was when he arrived at the camp and discovered that there was an extremely weak magic wave here!
This thing... is not the rigid feeling that those magic props can give off.
It's a real human spellcaster who makes people feel things when they maintain their spellcasting ability.
It's just in the perception of the power of 'wrath'.
This person's mental activity at the moment is almost zero, and he only maintains the most basic life reactions.
In other words -
the other party seems to be a being that has fallen into hibernation, or is sealed.
does not have the ability to move on its own.
So...
can we still see living people in this damn place?
Thanks to the existence of mysterious powers in this world, otherwise such outrageous discoveries would not be possible in any adventure story with a bit of common sense.
"How many more surprises can this place give people?"
Ronald couldn't help but shook his head.
Since there are still living people, the exploration of the camp can be temporarily put aside.
After all, no matter how well Ronald checked, the information was not as straightforward as asking the person involved directly.
As for the possible dangers of the other party, and the attitude that cannot be confirmed.
Ronald believes that with his strength, even if he encounters any problems, he can still solve them.
Walking forward in the camp with slow steps.
In just over two minutes, Ronald found the source of the magic fluctuations in his perception.
Ronald was prepared beforehand.
But when he saw the scene in front of him with his own eyes, he was still a little surprised.
On a platform made of square ice bricks.
A woman with beautiful appearance and arrogant temperament was lying on the ground; and in front of the girl, an old woman with a withered face held an ice blade that shone with blue light and pierced the girl's heart directly.
Both of their bodies were covered with a thin layer of magical ice.
While helping them isolate themselves from outside influences, it also seems to have preserved the last moments of a life-or-death showdown between the two parties.
"..."
Ronald raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to the normal development of the story, I should be here to save this beautiful girl.
But the result was a pity.
The old man's ice blade penetrated directly through the opponent's heart, so the beautiful girl was already dead - the kind that could never die again.
The survivor that Ronald had previously sensed.
It's actually the old man who rides on the girl and then crucifies her on the square platform.
But let’s be more rigorous.
This scene does not conform to the dramatic development of the story, but it conforms to the laws of the real world.
After all, in the mysterious side of the world, a higher age often means mastering more spells, which also means stronger power.
And the young man died under the sword of the old man.
It can only be said that she is not good at studying.
