After leaving Lyc City, the players continued to fly towards the north.
Speaking of which, they had originally planned to spend the night in Lyc City. However, since they had taken advantage of the mineral vein for free, they decided to continue moving forward to prevent the nobles from turning against them.
Lyc City was already a city near the northern border of the Holy Mania Empire. If they continued north, they would only be left with Fort Collin, a military town that faced the Arctic Tundra.
However, the players did not plan to stay in Fort Collin.
There were many armies from the human empires stationed in Fort Collin. To the players, it might be troublesome.
Although they had ten Gold-ranked professionals, an adult Megalosaurus, and ten teenage dragons, their overall strength could basically be unrivaled in most places. However, if they really encountered a Legendary-ranked professional who was hostile to them, they might still be defeated.
The Holy Mania Empire was vast, occupying nearly two-thirds of the entire north-central region of the Segers Continent. Along the way, the players stopped and walked, and they had seen the great rivers and mountains of the human countries.
The Plane of Origin was the Plane of Origin after all. Compared to Mindel and Orloss, the Segers Continent was still much more prosperous and magnificent.
When night fell completely and the sky was dotted with colorful stars, the players finally left the territory of the Holy Mania Empire and arrived at the Arctic Tundra where the Orc Alliance was located.
The Arctic Tundra was not a real tundra. Strictly speaking, the terrain here was a mountainous tundra and grassland.
Due to the harsh climate and barren soil, the plants in the Arctic Tundra were gradually sparse from bottom to top, and the species gradually decreased.
Here, tall trees were already extinct. There were only short shrubs, perennial herbs, lichens, and mosses. The species of magical beasts and animals were also relatively simple. There were not many species, mainly ice deer, white fox, stoat, snowstorm rabbit, and alpine musk ox that lived in the tundra.
When winter came, many parts of the vast plateau would be covered with white snow. Coupled with the continuous snowy mountains in the distance, it looked like a world of ice and snow. Therefore, it was called the Arctic Tundra.
The players rode on Megalosaurus and entered the tundra. There were almost no traces of intelligent creatures on the ground.
According to the Golden Dragon Romanus, who had once traveled through the Extreme Northern Wastelands, the Orc Tribes were all gathered in the east. There was a basin with abundant water and grass, right next to the God of War's holy land, the Great Snow Mountain. It was the center of the entire Orc Alliance.
However, there was also a canyon near Fort Collin that led to the Ice Field. Caravans often came and went. Therefore, near Fort Collin, there was also a free city on the Ice Field that thrived on trade. It was not under the jurisdiction of any power, and only paid protection fees to the Orc Alliance regularly. It was called Bola.
Of course, the players didn't go in the direction of Fort Collin, so they didn't go there.
Tonight, they were going to sleep in the wild.
"It's summer now, and the weather on the ice field is pretty good. If it was winter, it would probably be much colder, and there would be frequent snowstorms."
"Summer is the most beautiful time in the Ice Field of the Extreme North. Many large flowers grow here, and they are very bright. They cluster together and form a sea of flowers. Moreover, they will always bloom towards the sun and interweave with the low grass. Whenever the wind blows, the sea of flowers and grass will sway with the wind, forming undulating waves. It is very charming …"
"It's a pity that it's night now, and you won't be able to see it."
"However, the weather is pretty good tonight. Although we can't see the sea of flowers, perhaps we can see the beautiful aurora …"
Romanus said like an experienced traveler.
In fact, it was true. Another characteristic of the Golden Dragons was that they liked places with charming scenery. Even when they built their nests, they would often choose places with famous scenery.
Aurora …
After hearing the Megalosaurus' words, the players' gazes revealed a trace of yearning.
Even Eve couldn't help but look over.
Although she could use her divine power to create all sorts of magnificent scenes, what she created was completely different from what was formed by nature.
However, Romanus' words about the players not being able to see the sea of flowers at night were not accurate enough.
Elves had excellent eyesight and strong night vision. Although the colors of the scenes that the players saw would be distorted when night fell, they could still see clearly.
However, it was definitely not as colorful and charming as during the day.
The group continued to fly north, and fly …
After flying over a towering snow mountain, they arrived at a vast valley.
In the valley, there was a huge cave. It was an abandoned Megalosaurus nest that the Golden Dragon Romanus had discovered when he was traveling in the Far North Wastelands. It should have belonged to a white dragon.
Romanus had once lived here for a period of time and treated it as his temporary nest.
Tonight, this would be the place where he and the players would rest.
However, when the players flew over the snow mountain and arrived at the valley, they didn't look at the scenery in the valley at first glance. Instead, they looked at the northern sky.
They saw a brilliant and beautiful radiance spreading in the deep sky.
It was the aurora.
It was a gorgeous scene that couldn't be described with any color pen or language. The radiance floated lightly, dimming and brightening at times, emitting red, blue, green, and purple light …
It sometimes looked like a beautiful column towering over their heads. Then, it suddenly turned into a curtain that was pulled open. Then, it quickly rolled into a spiral ribbon.
The dreamy radiance danced and danced in the night sky. It came and went in a hurry. Even the bright starlight was overshadowed by it.
Looking at the radiance that filled the sky, the players who were talking to each other suddenly lost their voices.
There was complete silence.
The players looked up, and only the surging radiance was left in their eyes. Their expressions were filled with infatuation and shock.
No matter how many poems one had read that described the magic and beauty of the aurora, no matter how many pictures one had seen that reflected the aurora's fantasy and beauty, only when one was bathed in the aurora could one truly understand what an incredible miracle it was.
Even though the aurora principle in the world of Segers was completely different from that of Bluestar, this dreamy and charming scene was like a mysterious kaleidoscope that attracted everyone's attention at this moment.
Under that magnificent radiance, everyone could deeply feel their own insignificance, and feel the magnificence and mystery of nature.
Everyone's emotions couldn't help but gradually calm down along with the dancing aurora. Their souls and thoughts seemed to have been sublimated in an instant …
They forgot their troubles, forgot their sorrows, and forgot everything.
"So … so beautiful …"
Salty Meow couldn't help but murmur.
"Yes."
Golden Dragon Romanus also looked up. His dark golden dragon eyes were full of smiles.
"They're really beautiful … I was also stunned when I saw them for the first time."
"In the world of Segers, such a beautiful scene can only be seen in the Far North Wastelands."
"According to the orcs, this is the mark left in the sky by the dead who ascended to the God's Kingdom …"
"Every ray of light is a pure soul that ascended to the sky … They sublimated in the light, were reborn in the light, and finally returned to the God's Kingdom …"
"Of course, the wonders of the world's extremities have nothing to do with the souls after death. I once heard an elder mention that the aurora is the manifestation of the world's origin. It's the projection of the origin law in the starry sky …"
"If you can understand the meaning of the light, you'll have the chance to control the power of the law."
"That's why … the Far North Wastelands are often frequented by Gold upper ranks and Legendary masters. Many people want to find the path of the law that belongs to them from the beautiful aurora …"
Hearing the golden dragon's words, the players' gazes toward the aurora became even more mesmerized.
This dreamy scene and mysterious world deeply sucked in everyone's gaze.
Even Eve couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder as she looked at the mysterious, graceful, and unfathomable light.
The golden dragon was right.
The aurora was indeed a projection of the plane's origin.
However, if one wanted to comprehend the power of laws from the projection, it would be too difficult.
A projection was ultimately a projection, and a shadow would always be a reflection of the moon in the water.
However, compared to the moon in the sky, the reflection of the moon in the water was often more magnificent and enchanting.
Just like the aurora in front of them.
Beautiful, enchanting, yet illusory.
Gliding across the valley, the players followed Romanus and descended into a cave halfway up the snowy mountain.
The cave was very large, and it was paved with a layer of fine stones. At the end of the cave, there was a wide bed of hay that was enough for the golden dragon Romanus, who was dozens of meters in size, to lie down.
That was where the dragon bed used to be.
Of course, it should have been covered with gems and gold coins. However, the dragon's nest was empty, so it was empty.
In the corner of the cave, there were moss and mushrooms full of scales. They were plants and fungi that had grown after being nourished by dragon feces and saliva. Due to the influence of the Megalosaurus' aura, they had mutated.
These things quickly attracted the attention of the players. After appraising them, they found that they were all good things. Some could replenish mana, and some could strengthen physique. They picked them all happily.
The nights in the Wastelands were cold, but the mushrooms they picked were very tender. They could be used to make mushroom soup tonight.
Taking out the firewood that they had already prepared from their storage equipment, the players lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave. Everyone often slept in the wild, so they had all kinds of supplies prepared.
Although Gold rankers were not afraid of the cold, warmth was always better than the cold.
The ten of them worked together. Some set up tents, some made beds, and some prepared dinner.
Setting up the stove, they washed the mushrooms that had just been picked, cut them into small pieces, and stir-fried them with oil for half a minute. Then, they poured in the sweet spring water that they had brought from the Elf Forest, boiled it, and added salt.
Then, they added some magic herbs that replaced chopped green onions, some wild vegetables that had just been picked outside the cave, and some fresh-preserved diced meat of Magical Beasts.
The diced meat of Magical Beasts was specially selected by the players. It was the most delicate and smooth part of Magical Beasts. It had an elegant color and tasted delicious. Using it and the mushrooms to make soup, there were vegetables in the meat. It was fresh, smooth, and refreshing.
After that, they added all kinds of secret seasonings and simmered it …
There was no need for the MSG developed by the Amway Chamber of Commerce because it was already fresh enough.
Gradually, the soup boiled, and the aroma filled their nostrils. A pot of delicious mushroom soup was ready.
The rich aroma even attracted the Gold Dragon Romanus, who was scattering gold coins and gems on the haystack.
It was also making the bed. The gold coins and gems were taken out from its storage space. They were the treasures it always carried with it.
"What are you doing? It smells so good … "
The Gold Dragon sniffed.
"We're making soup. Do you want some?"
Li Mu smiled.
Romanus swallowed his saliva. In the end, he could not resist the temptation of the delicious food and nodded shyly.
"Your Excellency Romanus, please transform into your human form. If you're in your original form, you'll be too big. The soup you make might not be enough."
Li Mu reminded him again.
The Gold Dragon nodded. As a Megalosaurus, he had a huge appetite. Of course, under normal circumstances, he would eat gems and precious metals, but he would occasionally enjoy the food of humanoid creatures.
Of course, he would transform into his human form. Otherwise, there would be nothing left for him to eat before he could taste the food.
Under the temptation of the delicious food, the Gold Dragon transformed into a tall, golden-haired young elf.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although he would transform into a human most of the time.
Romanus took a bowl of fragrant mushroom soup from the players and scooped up a mouthful with a spoon.
"Delicious!"
The dragon's eyes widened instantly.
Gulp, gulp … He could not help but gorge himself.
At this moment, another wave of rich meat aroma wafted from the bonfire …
It was Demacia and the all-star Ah Can barbecuing meat.
Skewers of magical beast meat dripped with shaky vegetable oil. They were golden and translucent. After being barbecued, the red-and-white magical beast meat was charred and shiny, flashing under the bonfire.
The oil that was about to fall covered the meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Just looking at it was enough to whet one's appetite.
The Gold Dragon Romanus could not help but drool again.
Tonight, he was destined to open the door to a new world …
In the night sky, the magnificent aurora was like an unfurled painting, dancing continuously in the sky.
In the cave, the players sat in a circle in front of the crackling bonfire, admiring the aurora as they held their barbecued meat and mushroom soup.
Salty Meow, Tao Wu, and the others were playing board games that they had brought with them. They even dragged Eve, who was eating skewers, along.
On the other side, the Gold Dragon Romanus, who had transformed into human form, was drinking the cold beer that Demacia had given him. He had his arm around Demacia's shoulder as he bragged about his travels across the continent. He was obviously a little drunk.
This powerful Gold Dragon was unexpectedly unable to hold his liquor.
The cave was bustling with noise and excitement.
They had been running around for a day, but the players were still in high spirits.
It was not until midnight that they yawned, entered their tents, and fell asleep.
As for the Golden Dragon Romanus, he returned to his bed and fell asleep, snoring loudly.
Beside it, there was also a group of young dragons of different colors.
The night gradually darkened and fell into silence. Only the sound of snoring and the crackling of the bonfire could be vaguely heard.
In the sky, the aurora was still dazzling.
It was not until everyone had fallen asleep that Eve closed her eyes.
She switched her consciousness, and her main consciousness returned to her God's Kingdom.
She had to check on the items that the players had sacrificed during the day. At the same time, she also had to check on the unlucky guy that the players had sacrificed by accident.
