Chapter 220 Another point and one link of origin
"What about you?" After thinking about it, Gothe asked again.
"What?" Du Wei did not react.
"You said you had your own reasons for climbing the Dandong Snow Peak, which shows that you are not just trying to challenge yourself."
Gaode spread his hands and said, "So, what is the reason?"
It is unreasonable for a rich young man who is not here to inherit the family business to come to such a place to do such a dangerous thing.
"One is to complete a certain test and task, and the other is to relieve stress."
Du Wei looked at Gothe calmly and found that he seemed to be unable to hold back his words because he rarely had the opportunity to tell others his true thoughts.
"You should be able to see that I come from a relatively wealthy family, so the education I received since childhood is to inherit the family's burden in the future."
"I do not doubt my ability, but this This heavy burden still makes me feel troubled and even uncomfortable. "
"There are very few people in this world who have to bear as much pressure as me at this age."
Gaud was not surprised by Du Wei's remarks.
Because he had long seen that the other party had an extraordinary background.
Gao De, who has been influenced by film and television dramas in his previous life, also understands very well that for these "gongzi brothers", they either have no worries and indulge in drinking and sex all day long, or their spirit and life are so tense that they cut off all entertainment.
To use a witty saying, "I can't be happy when I think about inheriting the family business."
Of course, at this time, Gao De could not imagine what a huge family fortune Du Wei's "family burden" was.
Hence, he just comforted him in a matter-of-fact manner: "Who in the world is not under pressure? No matter how great the pressure is, can it still overcome the pressure of life and death? Life has to go on the same way."
Gaode was actually taking himself as an example.
When he first came to this world, Master Seda's "test" was the sword of Damoris hanging above his head, which would fall down and behead him at any time.
This pressure was not small, but he still ate and slept as usual.
This is what he did, so he also enlightened the other party in this way.
Du Wei was startled.
This is also the first time he has been "refuted" by outsiders.
But he surprisingly did not dislike this experience.
Just not being disgusted does not mean that he agrees. He looked at Gothe and said seriously: "Some pressures are indeed more important than personal life and death."
Gothe shook his head, feeling that the overly handsome young man in front of him was somewhat "hypocritical".
But you should not be too shallow and deep in your interactions, so Gothe would not really start a debate with Du Wei. He just said casually: "Maybe, but that level of pressure is still very small. Most likely, you just magnified it."
"Do you still want to be the emperor?" He joked.
Du Wei glanced at Gaode.
That is an extremely "weird" look.
It reveals an intriguing sense of playfulness, which makes Gaode feel fuzzy after watching it.
Then, Du Wei laughed out loud.
laughed out happily.
He knew that the other party had good intentions and wanted to comfort him and make him relax.
But why do you feel more pressure?
It is clear that the pressure is greater, but I feel that I have relaxed a little.
It seems that I haven’t laughed so happily for a long time.
Du Wei thought.
Have rested for most of the day.
Du Wei offered to leave.
"I've almost recovered."
He explained seriously: "I'm going to continue setting off. My time is very tight, so I can't spend too much time in Dandong Xuefeng."
Everyone has said so, and Gaode will naturally not raise any objections.
"Then take care." He said
"You too." Du Wei said.
Flora raised her head and looked at Gothe.
"Lord Flora, do you need to say anything?"
"No need to say anything."
"Oh."
"If you want to say something, it's not impossible."
"Same for Lady Flora." Duwei knelt down and bent down until his eyes were level with Flora's, and then said to her in an extremely gentle voice.
Yes, it is gentleness, not gentleness.
If anyone who knows Du Wei is here, they may be scared out of their eyes.
There are actually people in the world who can make Du Wei bend down and call him "adult".
Standing up, Du Wei was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Would you like to compete to see who can reach the top first?"
Du Wei didn't know why he made such a suggestion.
But in short, I just want to.
Gothe was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Then you may have to humiliate yourself."
Du Wei seemed not to have expected that he would receive such a response.
There was a hint of seriousness in his voice: "You are the first person who dares to speak to me like this."
"But I don't want to attract your attention." No wonder he picked up Gu Long's lines and turned out to be a "tyrannical president" style. Gaode has always had a good mentality. One of the manifestations is that he can always make some inappropriate and cold jokes at various moments.
It is a pity that Du Wei still cannot understand this joke.
He just turned around silently, headed towards the top of the mountain, and started again.
No matter how prominent Du Wei's birth is, no matter how great the pressure he bears, and no matter how ruthless he is, he is still just a seventeen-year-old young man under the age of eighteen.
In Gaode's previous life, this age could not even be called a youth, but rather a teenager.
Everyone who has experienced this age can understand the feeling of suffering in adolescence and trying to suppress their emotions due to dogma or academic pressure.
This kind of depression is often released in various ways after the "College Entrance Examination".
In this way, youth is considered complete.
And Du Wei had no chance to do this.
Him He can only spend his "adolescence" that should be full of passion and rebellion with impeccable perfection, and then become a real "adult".
However, now, he seems to have the opportunity to experience a little bit of the experience of a "young man".
Silent, but excited.
After a strong wind.
Many places in Dandong Xuefeng have changed.
For the ecology of the entire mountain, this is not worth mentioning.
But for individuals and local areas, these changes are still very prominent.
One of Gaode’s most intuitive feelings is that he obviously feels that he has encountered more animals and earth-line creatures.
Another point is that I don’t know whether it is caused by strong winds or because with the increase in altitude, few people have set foot in the area where Gothe is now.
In short, he gradually began to discover some snowy plants that were still valuable in the outside world.
Just two hours after leaving the base, Gothe discovered three magic plants that were almost exposed on the surface.
Two of them are zero-level magic plants, and one is a first-level magic plant.
The market price of level 0 magic plants is between 2-4 gold, with an average price of 3 gold.
The value of a first-level magic plant is between 12-15 gold.
In other words, in this short period of time, the net income is close to 20 gold.
This is true for Dandong Xuefeng.
As you can imagine, the broader northern border is definitely a treasure land full of gold.
"Why did the mage dig it?"
While Gothe used the Fang of Hidden Mist he carried as a small dagger to dig out the first-order magic plant he finally found, Flora, who had been watching for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's worth money." Gao De said concisely and comprehensively.
"How valuable."
"About 13 or 14 gold coins."
"So much?!"
"In an ideal situation, you have to take it down the mountain and send it to a city far away from the snowy areas to sell it at this price. You also need to pay the corresponding transportation costs, and you have to ensure that it does not lose its spirituality during transportation." Gao De explained patiently.
"Don't lose spirituality." Flora thought for a moment, and then said: "The mage, you shouldn't use it to dig."
Flora was referring to the Fang of the Hidden Mist.
"Why?" Gothe was startled.
Craft handdie\ since it is a bit convoluted, but Gaode can understand it.
"Then how to dig?"
"Digging with hands."
"Can a mage's hand be used?"
"Yes."
"How did Flora know?"
"It told me."
"Sir Flora is really smart." This time Gothe praised her sincerely.
Put away the Fang of the Hidden Mist, and as soon as she pocketed the first-order magic plant with the hands of the mage, Flora suddenly fluttered her small wings, entered an alert state, and sent out a warning signal.
Gothe received the signal and immediately concentrated his attention.
This time he does not need to use [Detection Magic+] to find traces of the enemy.
Because the enemy just popped up from the snow in front of him.
Still a small ice element.
But a group of people.
Gaode glanced at it and came up with the exact amount.
5.
The body is four small and one large.
Small, almost the same as the small ice elemental I encountered at the beginning, equivalent to a mage at the early stage of the first level.
As for the big one, it is one level stronger, and is already equivalent to a mid-level mage.
Even the ice element has low intelligence and is a soft persimmon among earth-line creatures.
But the current quantity and quality of the ice element group is still a big challenge for Gaode.
After all, he has only been promoted to a first-level mage for more than a month.
Haven't even learned to master any damage-type first-level spells.
However, Gothe didn't say that he was panicking.
The number of tricks and the combination of ascending spells also give enough confidence.
Hence, without waiting for the ice elements to react or show off their power, Gothe took the lead.
【Magic Energy Explosion】Two consecutive shots were fired between the lightning and flint.
When the spell is raised and cast, the energy beams of [Magic Explosion] will become two.
The two consecutive shots were four, which happened to be directed at the four smaller ice elements.
As for the leading large and small ice element, it is a special treatment.
Gothe gave [Flame Arrow+].
Five magic attacks with trajectories flew out one after another, with an interval of no more than one second.
Small ice elementals have low intelligence, but they are not fools after all, and they still have the fighting instincts they should have.
Hence, after discovering Gothe's attack, they all started to dodge. Those who could not dodge spit out ice whirlpools and engage in head-on confrontation with Gothe's magic attack.
The four small ice elements were unscathed by the first wave of [Magic Explosion] attacks.
[Magic Explosion] could still be avoided, but the precise trajectory adjustment ability of [Fire Arrow+] caught the leading ice element by surprise.
After it thought it had avoided Gothe's attack and relaxed its vigilance a little, the flame beam made an unreasonable trajectory adjustment and exploded directly on its body.
The attack power of up to 16 degrees, coupled with the restraint relationship, made it suffer a heavy blow for a while.
Woohoo!
It made a sharp sound, opened its mouth wide, and in anger, prepared to counterattack Gothe.
Dang Dang Dang!
But that’s it at this moment.
A strange ringing sound suddenly rang in the air.
【The death knell of the dead】.
Gothe had just cast [Skating Skill], walking on the snow like a flat ground, and was within the casting distance of [Death Knell].
【Death's Knell】 itself has a power of 8 degrees. When faced with an injured target, the power can be increased to 12 degrees. After raising the ring and casting a spell, the power is 24 degrees.
【Flame Arrow+】has already caused damage to it first.
Hence, this ice elemental will bear the highest spell power of [Death Knell].
The powerful spell power of up to 24 degrees made the leading ice element instantly feel an unprecedented crisis.
This is not only the oppression of the power of the spell itself, but every syllable of [Death Knell] seems to directly shake the depths of its soul and hit its spiritual core.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the surface of the body made of frost was covered with a layer of shadow.
【Death Knell】causes necrotic damage.
This type of damage can have a certain impact on the target's spirit, and can also interrupt spellcasting at critical moments.
Just like now, the ice vortex that the large ice element was about to spit out suddenly stopped in an instant.
But Gaode did not stop his offensive.
While his mental consciousness was still eroded by the [Death Knell] and had not fully recovered, the second [Fire Arrow+] had already been shot from Gothe's hand.
It points directly to the chest of the small ice elemental ice soul stone.
There is the life core of the ice element, which is equivalent to the human head.
And a layer of invisible transparent magic light waves has emerged around Gothe, forming an invisible barrier.
【Shield Technique】.
This is to protect against possible attacks from the other four ice elements.
Although Gaode has many tricks, there are actually very few group damage spells, and most of them have a limited casting range.
Hence, his current strategy can only be to blast at fixed points and defeat them one by one.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
Gothe's primary target is naturally the large ice element in the lead.
The flame beam cut through the air, and at a low temperature of nearly minus 50 degrees, it was still hot and did not go out, heading straight for the target.
The ice element sensed the approaching threat, and its first reaction was to avoid it.
But due to the influence of [Death Knell], its reactions and movements are much slower.
The flaming arrow accurately hit its chest.
Suffering heavy losses one after another, even if its level is higher, it is now approaching its limit.
At this moment, with the blessing of [Skating Skill], Gothe has become very close to this group of ice elements.
His heart moved and he closed his eyes in time.
Then, a burst of dazzling light bloomed at Gothe's fingertips, instantly illuminating the surrounding area.
【Flash Technique】!
It is a rare group control spell among magic. Although it does not have direct lethality, it can temporarily dazzle all creatures within the distance, regardless of whether it is friend or foe.
As a spell caster, Gaode can naturally close his eyes in advance to become immune to the spell effect of [Flash].
These small ice elements cannot do this.
The strong light cut through the darkness like lightning, instantly causing all ice elements to fall into a state of temporary blindness.
They roared in anger and confusion, and instinctively covered the front with their hands, trying to block possible attacks.
Gothe has already taken advantage of this momentary opportunity, and once again condensed a blazing flame in his palm.
【Flame Arrow+】shot out from his hand again, drawing a perfect arc and accurately hitting the leading large ice element again.
The collision of flames and frost, at this distance, the sound of chi chi can be heard clearly.
With a shrill wail, the body of the ice element began to collapse, instantly turning into clusters of broken ice crystals scattered on the ground.
The rest of the small ice elements, as soon as they recovered from the dazed state, found that their leader had died, and they were suddenly panicked.
Although their intelligence is low, they can feel the threat caused by the death of their leader.
The four small ice elements actually made the same decision at this moment.
Escape!
They ran away frantically, trying to escape from this battlefield.
But Gothe would never let them go so easily.
This is an excellent opportunity to collect the essence of [Small Ice Element].
With a thought in Gaode's mind, he fired two more [Magic Explosions] one after another.
Hence, if it were a serious battle, these ice elements would be able to deal with [Magic Explosion] with ease.
But at this moment, they were so panicked that they were completely focused on running away, and had no intention of paying attention to Gothe's attack.
And the more this happens, the easier it is to deal with.
Several roars sounded in succession, and this wave of offensive hit all the targets.
It's just that the ice element's body is relatively resistant to beatings, and the [Magic Explosion] ring-up and cast increases the number of rays, not the attack power, so they can completely withstand this attack.
Seeing this, Gothe frowned, knowing that if he wanted to catch them all again, he would most likely let all the remaining four small ice elements go.
He decisively changed his strategy and used [Fire Arrow+], which threatened them the most, and continued to defeat them one by one.
Of the four small ice elements, under Gothe's pursuit, only one lucky one escaped.
