GOR Chapter 96: Du Wei's Conjecture
Halfway up the mountain path, Du Wei was exhausted. The most unfortunate thing was that reaching the top of this mountain would take at least one or two days.
Because here, flying was the privilege of the Dragons. Even the mighty Aragon would have to rely on his own two feet in order to ascend the Sacred Mountain.
In addition to the bitter cold, Du Wei was also suffering from another painful torment.
Sunburn!
This was a seemingly contradictory issue. However, it was a very real problem.
In his previous life, Du Wei would often watch the National Geographic Magazine on the Discovery Channel. He would often find it inconceivable that the people who were exploring the North and South Poles would get sunburned in such a cold and snowy environment. However, that was the truth!
The world of ice and snow was like a huge mirror, gathering all the ultraviolet rays from the sun. Additionally, in terms of geography, the atmosphere in the North and South Poles was thin, making it easier for the harmful rays from the sun to enter.
Du Wei could feel himself getting sunburned. The exposed skin on his face and hands appeared as though it had been steamed, turning into a pinkish red colour. Even the slightest touch would cause a burning pain. When night fell, the temperature would drop and the cold wind would blow, causing a sharp pain akin to being cut by a knife!
Among his companions, the Old Magician and Hussain were also suffering from the same situation. However, the two of them had a much higher endurance compared to Du Wei.
In addition to the sunburn, there was also the pain from his eyes.
Even at night, the light from the snow was very strong. The blue light reflected off the snow was the most powerful thing that could harm one's eyes. In Du Wei's previous life, those who ventured to the North and South Poles would wear snow goggles to protect their eyes from the ultraviolet rays and the blue light from the snow. However, there was no such equipment in this world. Du Wei could only wear the 'sunglasses' left behind by Dadaneier. It was better than nothing.
Among his companions, the calmest one was Medusa. The skin of snakes was probably different from that of humans. Her skin was still pale and delicate, and her eyes were always closed. She was indifferent to everything around her.
Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, after bypassing the winding mountain road, they were halfway up the mountain. This was the back of the mountain, and the mountain blocked the sunlight from above. Du Wei sat down to catch his breath, and then took out something to start a fire.
"Let's rest for a while. It's best if we continue our journey at night." Du Wei gasped for breath. His face was still shedding, and the pain was unbearable. He felt that even a light breeze would cause him to scream uncontrollably. He could only take off the cloth on his clothes and wrap it around his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The old magician also nodded his head. He cast a fire spell and made a bonfire. Without any wood or firewood, the pure magic used to make a fire consumed a lot of magic. But in order to keep warm, there was no other choice.
Du Wei moved closer to the bonfire, opened his arms, and enjoyed the warmth of the fire. After his arms were all warm, he turned his back to the bonfire.
His whole body was frozen stiff.
With his back to the bonfire, Du Wei sat on the edge of the mountain road. In front of him was a cliff … and the direction he was facing was exactly north!
North of the Sacred Mountain!
After warming himself for a while, Du Wei felt a little more energetic. He looked into the distance and couldn't help but ask again, "North of the Sacred Mountain, what is there?"
"No one knows for sure." The Old Magician shook his head. "But according to legend, the Sacred Mountain is a barrier that guards the human world. And if you go further north, you will find some races that were abandoned by the gods! Some of them betrayed the gods and were exiled from the Roland Continent. It is said that if you go further north, you will find a world of evil. That place is the same as the Roland Continent, a continent. Several races that believed in the Devil in ancient times were defeated and driven out of the human world. They went all the way north, through this place, and into another world. "
"Another world." Hussain frowned. "What else can there be in front of us? This place is so cold that it can freeze people to death! If it were not for the few of us, ordinary people would not be able to survive in this place! Go further north? I can't imagine how cold it will be if we go further north! What kind of race can survive in such a harsh illusion? "
The Old Magician smiled bitterly. "So, this is the punishment of the gods … I don't know, but that is what the legend says."
"I don't think so." Du Wei suddenly chuckled. However, when the Old Magician and Hussain looked at Du Wei strangely, Du Wei kept his mouth shut and remained silent.
Not necessarily … Du Wei could not help but sigh softly in his heart.
The further north, the colder it gets?
In this world, the people of this era would certainly think so.
But who is Du Wei? Du Wei came from the technologically advanced world of his previous life!
The further north, the colder it gets! Literally speaking, it seems to be true.
But, considering the geographical location …
If this world is the same as Du Wei's previous life, a planet similar to Earth.
Du Wei was almost certain of this point. Over the years, he made some assumptions. Assuming that the Roland Continent is on a planet similar to Earth. Even the sun, the moon, and even the Big Dipper are the same as Earth! Du Wei even suspected that this is Earth in another space!
No matter what, at least he can be sure that this is a planet! Then, according to the geographical location of the Roland Continent, the north is cold and the south is hot.
What does this mean? This means that the Roland Continent should be in the northern hemisphere of this planet! For the continents in the northern hemisphere, the closer the north is to the north pole, the colder it gets! The closer the south is to the equator, the hotter it gets!
This is the most simple reason.
However, because the Earth is round (of course, in this world, it should be "the planet is round"), then the further north the Roland Continent is located, the closer it is to the "north pole" of the planet, the colder it gets! But what if they continue north?
If they continue north until they reach the "north pole", they will reach the coldest place! But, if they do not stop, what if they continue forward?
If they go past the north pole and continue forward … geographically speaking, they are no longer "going north"! In fact, if they go past the north pole and continue forward, they will reach the back of the planet and then … go south! Yes, if they continue to go south, they will be "going south"!
If that is the case, not only will it not get colder, it will get warmer!
In Du Wei's past life, even a high school student would understand this principle. Of course, in this world, no one would understand it.
So … Du Wei could not help but think: If we go past the Sacred Mountain and continue forward, what kind of world will we be in?
It will definitely not get colder! It will get warmer and warmer! There might even be a continent! There is a continent similar to the Roland Continent! This is very possible!
Then, to the north … no, to the "front", what is there?
Just as Du Wei was lost in his reverie, he could not help but sit on the edge of the cliff. His legs dangled there as he looked into the distance …
To the north of the Sacred Mountain, as far as the eye could see, there was still a vast expanse of ice. However, it was not as flat as the south side. In the distance, on the horizon, one could faintly see continuous snowy mountains and ice rocks … starting from the foot of the Sacred Mountain, one could faintly see strange shaped black rocks protruding from the ground. They looked like spikes protruding from the ground, their edges sharp …
As far as Du Wei's eyes could see, he suddenly saw something protruding out of the ground at the foot of the mountain. On top of the protruding black rock, there seemed to be something hanging on the sharp edges of the rock. Faintly, the silver color of the thing was flipping ….
Du Wei is after all a magician, his perception is very sharp. Even his eyesight and hearing are far better than ordinary people. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately took off the cloth wrapped around his face. The cloth had been frozen stiff and rolled up, revealing a small hole in the middle. Du Wei rolled up the cloth and put it in front of his eyes to look into the distance …
According to the most basic principle of imaging through a small hole, he could see further and more clearly than the naked eye. When he saw what was hanging on the spike-shaped rock at the foot of the Sacred Mountain, Du Wei could not help but feel his heart skip a beat!
It was a set of bones!
It was unknown how many years had passed, but the muscles on the corpse had already crystallized. It looked like a dry and cold zombie, hanging on the sharp protruding rocks. However, the corpse looked very majestic. Its arms were unusually long, far longer than an ordinary human's. Its legs were very short, but they were abnormally thick. The armor on its body was still hung with icicles. The only strange thing was that … its head was missing!
Looking further into the distance, Du-Wei found that there were also some corpses hanging from the protruding black rocks on the ground. These corpses were even more strange, and under Du-Wei's careful examination, he could see something strange about them!
Those corpses did not seem to be human at all! Some of the corpses had leg lengths that were too strange, and some had palms that only had three fingers. It was like … some kind of animal?
The more Du Wei looked, the more he frowned. In the end, after a careful search, he finally found one or two corpses that were similar to human skeletons … But those skeletons looked too slender! Even the slender women among humans would not be so thin and slender. However, these slender skeletons were not only much smaller in size, the remnants of the armor on their bodies were also abnormally gorgeous. Although it was under the ice, it sparkled and was exquisitely carved …
And the common point was that all the skeletons were on the back! And without exception, all of them did not have a head!
