The 54th Chapter "Frozen Forest, World of Warcraft" (part one)
What made Du Wei depressed was that everything the Old Magician bought was bought with Du Wei's money. When Duwei was caught, he had a money bag with him, and there were at least a hundred gold coins in it.
He hurriedly put on his fur coat, put on his sheepskin hat, covered his ears with the thick brim of the hat, put on his snow boots, and hung a waist knife … … Duwei looked like one of those adventurers who often came to the Frozen Forest for adventures.
When they exited the inn, there was already a small sled parked outside. Four strong grey Snow Dogs were lying on the ground obediently.
The space on the sled was very small, so Du Wei had no choice but to squeeze with the Old Magician. The Old Magician was still wearing his white robe … … This guy didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all. It was only when Du Weihe leaned against him that he discovered the secret behind it. This Old Magician used some kind of magic, but when he was close to him, Du Wei felt like he was next to a stove. The Old Magician's body was emitting a warm feeling.
"Hmph, so what if you know magic?" Du Wei snorted.
But he was curious about the fact that this sled didn't have a driver.
This Old Magician was an "all-rounder", he was even proficient in driving a sled. He didn't shout anything, he just sat on the sled and softly said, "Let's go!"
The four strong snow dogs on the ground in front immediately ran with all their might! Where to turn, where to slow down. There was no need for the Old Magician to drive, the snow dogs obediently ran with the sled. In the vast expanse of white snow, the sled dragged a long trail as it headed north.
Even though he was wearing a leather jacket and a hat, Du Wei still felt the cold wind blowing against his face. He couldn't even open his eyes. He could only try his best to lean against the warm Old Magician and absorb a little bit of warmth.
The cold wind in the North was made of knives … … Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Du Wei had lived in the South and had never been to the North. This kind of endless snow and ice weather was something he had only seen a few times in his life.
Along the way, he couldn't stop cursing the hateful Old Magician and this damn weather!
The sun was still hanging above his head, but there was no warmth at all. Du Wei's body curled up. Not long after, under his nose, his mucus had already condensed into a string of icicles. When he rubbed it hard, he almost tore off a piece of flesh. It was so painful that tears almost fell down Du Wei's eyes.
The Frozen Forest was in the Continent's Continent's North was also the Empire empire's Roland.
This was also the official "border" set by the Roland Empire. Under normal circumstances, citizens of the Empire were not allowed to continue north.
Further north, the Frozen Forest was not only a place where cold wind and snow could freeze people to death, it was also a place where the vast forest stretched as far as the eye could see … … More importantly, it was one of the only two places on the Continent where magic beasts were extremely active!
The Empire had stationed a military force at the southern end of the Frozen Forest. The Empire's Northern "Tempest Legion" spread out along the southern border of the Frozen Forest. All the roads leading to the Frozen Forest were set up with checkpoints … …
Of course, this was only in the open.
But in the dark, there were still many mercenary groups that ventured into the Frozen Forest every year. There were also some small adventurer groups … … These people often had a little bit of ability. In the eyes of these people, those terrifying magic beasts in the Frozen Forest were golden coins!
If those magic beasts' furs and magic cores could be hunted, they could be transported to the South and sold at a high price.
For this kind of semi-public "smuggling" activity, the Empire's attitude was actually "acquiescing".
Those troops patrolling the southern border of the Frozen Forest were actually just to prevent ordinary people from entering this dangerous area. Those adventurers with unique skills, such as mages or senior warriors, could often silently avoid the patrolling troops. Some of the larger adventurer groups even dared to confront the small patrol troops for the sake of smuggling profits!
The Roland Continent appreciated martial arts. Although mages were a minority, there were still many warriors. In the face of risk and profit, there were still many people who were willing to risk their lives.
In less than half a day, Du Wei and the Old Magician arrived at a checkpoint north of the town. Looking at the soldiers wearing white leather robes … … These northern men were obviously more resistant to the cold than Du Wei. There were even some senior warriors who only wore leather waistcoats, exposing their hairy chests. They were shirtless and stood next to the checkpoint. In the world of ice and snow, they grabbed handfuls of snow to wipe their bodies. While they were wiping, they were also shouting and singing loudly.
This checkpoint was built on the continent without using any stones … The frozen soil in the north was even harder than stone. As long as they dug out some relatively soft soil during the warmest time of the year, they would pile it up and pour water over it. After a night of cold wind, it would be enough to freeze a solid mud wall!
Looking at the soldiers wearing thick white leather robes and wearing leather hats with icicles hanging on their heads, Du Wei did not know whether to be amazed or admiring. In any case, he just tightly curled up.
The Old Magician whistled and the four Snow Hounds stopped in front of the checkpoint.
In front of this checkpoint, there were about a hundred soldiers. Seeing a small sled come to a stop in front of them in the ice and snow, everyone immediately surrounded it. Those soldiers consciously or unconsciously reached out their hands to touch the swords on their waists. The burly man who caught snow to bathe in the ice and snow was obviously the captain here. He immediately threw away the snow in his hands, grabbed a spear, and ran over with big strides.
In the snow, the warrior's running speed was extremely fast. In just a few steps, he was already in front of Du Wei. Looking at him, this guy could be called a "barbarian". His long beard covered almost a third of his face. He looked extremely rough. Looking at his running skills in the snow, it could be assumed that his martial arts were also quite good.
These soldiers blocked the road. Someone was about to speak, but when he saw the Old Magician's clothes, he immediately shut his mouth!
These northern soldiers who controlled the Frozen Forest were all experienced and knowledgeable. All year round, mages liked to come here and catch a few rare magic beasts in the forest. Magic nuclei were magic materials that mages liked to use.
When these people saw the Old Magician's clothes, they knew the identity of the other party. Although, the Old Magician's clothes did not have any magic rank badge.
In fact, this was a common thing in the Frozen Forest. The mages who came here all knew of the Empire's ban. Although mages had a high status, they still could not openly challenge the Empire. Therefore, in order to hide their identity, they would not wear their magic rank badge. This way, on one hand, they would show their identity as a mage to deter the soldiers who blocked the road. On the other hand, they would also hide their real name and identity.
After all, there weren't many magicians on the continent. If he were to wear a badge, the other party would know his level. If they really wanted to settle the score, they could go back to the Magician's Guild and check what level of magician they were and what they looked like.
Therefore, in the Frozen Forest, it was already a semi-public habit for mages to only wear a mage robe and not wear a badge. This was the so-called "doing bad things without leaving a name".
Du Wei's eyes widened and he looked a little excited. In his opinion, this small group of soldiers definitely had no hope of blocking the road. Although Du Wei did not know how powerful this old guy was …. Based on the fact that he could train a magic genius like Vivian and easily give a dragon as a gift to his disciple …. This kind of guy, how could his ability be small?
If they were to fight, Du Wei bet that at most a few seconds, the mage would be able to make these hundred soldiers lie down.
But Du Wei was disappointed.
The Old Magician calmly stopped the sleigh and then searched his chest for a long time before taking out a crumpled piece of parchment. The circle of mages had a habit, they did not like to use any ordinary paper. Everything that needed to be written down would be written on parchment.
"Gentlemen, I have an official document from the Sorcerers Guild." The Old Magician smiled and handed the parchment to the barbarian warrior, "The Sorcerers Guild has given me the privilege to enter the Frozen Forest."
Looking at the amiable face of the Old Magician, the leader of the warriors was stunned.
Although he looked rough, he was also calculating in his heart. These years, he was ordered to guard the entrance of the Frozen Forest. He could be considered to have seen a lot and had met more than one or two mages.
Often, those mages were people with high standards. Either they simply cast a spell and directly flew over, or a gust of wind blew over, making these soldiers unable to even touch their shadows.
Or, they would show their hand in front of everyone, intimidate the soldiers, and then swagger over.
After all, these were the usual practices. Everyone knew that if a mage really wanted to force his way in, these hundred people would definitely not be able to stop him.
However, it was rare for a kind-hearted Mage to take out a legal document so politely, and even look like he was negotiating with them!
With a suspicious expression, the leader of the warriors took the crumpled piece of parchment.
He did not know how many years this thing in his hand had been there. The handwriting was already a little blurry, and the parchment was even a little denitrified. The leader carefully held it in his hand, afraid that it would be broken.
But when he saw the words on it … The leader could not help but change his expression, and his eyes almost popped out!
"This is an official letter. Those who hold this letter can enter the Frozen Forest unconditionally. No imperial military or imperial local government personnel can stop them! This official letter is valid for … a hundred years!! "
What the hell is this? A hundred years valid?
This old man is not playing with me, right? When the leader saw this, he could not help but start to let his imagination run wild. He had met some scammers before …
He knew that in this place, the military generally did not dare to stop a mage. There were also some scammers who got a mage's robe to fool people.
But when he looked at the signature at the bottom of the document …
"Emperor of the Roland Empire, Augustine the Fifth, President of the Roland Continent Sorcerers Guild, Zuridyar."
A document jointly signed by His Majesty the Emperor and the President of the Sorcerers Guild?
Moreover, what was worse was that …
The Emperor who signed the document, Augustine the Fifth, had already passed away for sixty years! And the current President of the Sorcerers Guild of the Roland Continent had already been replaced! The President who signed the document also passed away forty years ago at the age of 119!
The signature of the former Emperor and the former President of the Sorcerers Guild?
Where did this guy come from?
Whether this thing was real or fake, the leader would naturally be able to tell! The signature could be forged, but the seal on it could not be forged! The seal of His Majesty the Emperor and the President of the Sorcerers Guild both had a magic anti-counterfeiting mark!
When he held the document in his hand, the two seals would slowly appear on the parchment paper, and then slowly disappear …
The leader immediately felt deep veneration!
The identity of this Old Magician in front of him must be amazing to a certain extent! At the very least, he must be an old man from the same era as the former Emperor and the former President of the Sorcerers Guild!
This kind of person, a small leader like himself could not afford to offend!
The leader could not help but guess … Valid for a hundred years … How old is this old man?
He respectfully rolled up the parchment and presented it to the magician with both hands. His tone also became polite: "Respected Magician, welcome to the Frozen Forest! The 27th White Wolf Infantry Regiment of the Northern Tempest Legion of the Empire salutes you! May I ask if you have any other requests? We will try our best to cooperate! "
The Old Magician was very polite: "No, just please get out of the way."
With one sentence, the soldiers in front of the road retreated. They even took the initiative to quickly clean up the snow in front of the checkpoint and then lined up to see the Old Magician's sleigh off.
Seeing the checkpoint far behind, Du Wei could not help but ask: "That document … Is it real?"
"It's real …" The Old Magician faintly replied: "But, today is the last day of the validity period."
Du Wei stuck out his tongue: "The last day?"
He looked at the side of the Old Magician's face and could not help but ask: "You … How old are you?"
"Little friend, could it be that the Rollin family's upbringing has fallen to this extent? When asking an elder's age, you have to use honorifics. "The Old Magician smiled:" I … My age … "
At this point, the Old Magician's eyes flashed with a trace of melancholy: "I don't even remember."
