Chapter 1228: The top of the mountain
is at the passage. Jump down with the map?
Judging from the signature and magical qualities on the scroll, there is no doubt that this is a clue left by Catalina for herself.
Even the other party had no map in hand when Ronald arrived here.
But...
where does this passage refer to?
Ronald thought about his past experience in the [Infinite Negative Number Field], and quickly settled on one place - the Well of Judgment. This was the
passageway where Ronald and Baproll finally left the [Infinite Negative Number Field]. Completely in line with Katarina's statement of 'jumping down'.
And feel it carefully.
At this moment, the vertical strip of the Well of Judgment located in the center of the mountain was completely covered by powerful defensive spells. The intensity of this spell even exceeds the defense of the [Grad] fleet.
With the abilities of this group of pirates, it is definitely impossible to get in.
A rough conclusion was analyzed in his mind, but Ronald did not rely solely on this action. Instead, he first pointed at a pirate: "Come
here, I have something to ask you."
The pointed 'Pirate King' immediately He ran over eagerly:
"Sir, if you ask, I will tell you everything!"
In the eyes of this pirate, Ronald's pause in flipping through the scrolls and the way he was thinking at this moment proved that the man in front of him had already discovered something. .
Then the results are easy to predict.
As long as they can handle the next thing smoothly, freedom and safety will return to their hands!
In this way, Ronald asked the pirates in front of him:
"I want to know if you have ever been close to the Well of Judgment? Is there anything special there now?"
"Well of Judgment?"
The pirate's face was still a little confused at first. , but after all, he had also been active in Barrier Mountain for more than a month, so he quickly made a guess from the existing information:
"Sir, are you talking about the hole in the center of the entire floating mountain?"
Ronald nodded. He affirmed:
"Yes, that's the Well of Judgment. That's what the people who originally lived here called it." "...
"
Ronald revealed his familiarity with the Barrier Mountain, which was a kind of pressure on the pirates. .
So after lowering his head and remaining silent for a few seconds.
The 'Pirate King' raised his head again and replied in a cautious tone:
"Sir, that place is protected by a very strong spell. We can't go inside to explore at all. However, some brave ones can find it on the mountain. We successfully climbed to the top and saw some things."
Although the 'Pirate King' answered very seriously, he did not elaborate on what he saw at the top.
Ronald had a bad premonition in his heart.
Not to mention the pirates who could provide him with key information, they had already been swallowed directly by the black fog of hell during the encirclement just now!
"Where are they? Where are they now?"
Ronald asked immediately with uneasiness in his heart.
But this time his luck was obviously good.
The 'Pirate King' turned around and looked around the square, and soon his eyes lit up, and he shouted in one direction:
"Pete, Lyle, you two come here, I have something to ask you!"
Standing in the puddle Two of the pirates immediately reacted and walked straight towards the road where everyone was getting out of the way.
Seeing the two pirates approaching, the 'Pirate King' immediately took the lead and ordered:
"My lord, you must know what you encountered on the top of the mountain!"
"Tell me what you saw honestly, without any concealment. Listen. Got it!"
"..."
The pirates named Pete and Lyle looked at each other.
Their reaction was not at all fearful of the 'Pirate King', but more of respect for Ronald, a strong man.
In fact, this is also easy to understand.
While all the pirates were exploring treasures in the Barrier Mountain, those who dared to climb to the top of the mountain, even if they were motivated by greed, were definitely not at the level of ordinary people.
After staring like this for a few seconds, the man standing on the left of the two of them spoke first:
"Sir, I am Lyle and he is Pete."
"We did climb to the top of the mountain from outside before, and we got a certain level of information. ."
Lyle's tone was quite cautious, and there was an obvious sense of probing.
As the target of the other party's temptation, Ronald saw his scruples, so he answered casually:
"Answer honestly, I guarantee your safety."
"Thank you for your generosity." Lyle breathed a sigh of relief, and then Then he described what he had seen and heard before. "Peter and I climbed to the top of the mountain together. It was also protected by a powerful spell and we couldn't break through." "
But standing in front of me, I still saw something." "
On the top of the mountain, broken earth, rocks, and huge rocks were scattered everywhere. The entire environment seems to have been ravaged by giants. We can vaguely see that there were originally buildings on the top of the mountain here, but now there are basically only ruins..."
Lyle's account was very detailed.
Listening quietly to the other party's description, Ronald soon discovered something was different.
When they first left the [Infinite Negative Realm], they had a battle with the Wizard of Barrier Mountain, and they indeed caused a lot of damage.
But compared with the condition that Ronald remembered, the current Rampart Mountain is obviously more dilapidated. Not surprisingly, this place later became a battlefield for other powerful spellcasters, such as Katarina and the old man.
Analyzing the information in his mind, Ronald also began to ask himself,
"Besides the ruins of the building and the broken ground, is there anything else special?"
This was the first time Ronald took the initiative to speak.
Lyle attached great importance to this, and after thinking carefully, he spoke again:
"Gray light."
"In the gaps in the ruins, I seemed to see gray light. It's just that this color is very close to the surroundings, and I'm not sure I have it. Not sure."
Because he was not completely sure, Lyle did not dare to confirm his discovery in front of Ronald.
However, Peter on the side helped him:
"Sir, I also saw what Lyle saw."
"Unless there is something deliberately misleading, we should not make mistakes together."
"..."
Cross-examine carefully. After hearing the news, Ronald was sure that the pirates would not have any major gains.
So he reorganized the spells on his body, and then said to his companion:
"I already know the general situation."
"Let's go to the top of the mountain to take a look. Pay attention to safety during the process..."
Before setting off, Ronald of course had to give a good warning about the situation at Barrier Mountain and possible problems that may arise in the future.
The result was something he didn't expect.
Mermaid Lilu suddenly spoke at this moment, and stared into Ronald's pupils with expectant eyes:
"Ronald, can I go with you?"
"Although I am only a novice explorer in the tribe. , but he still has some skills!"
