After making the decision, everyone turned back and rushed towards the ice castle.

At the same time, Tony will also encounter the Wall of Lament and inform two Chinese teammates of his and his team's next actions through the teammate channel.

"Wall of Lament? Ice Castle? Okay, we'll see you soon! Depending on the weather, there's probably going to be a snowstorm soon. Please be safe."

In the teammate channel, Yeye replied like this.

After reading his message, Tony couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.

Above the sky, it was still dark, but the rolling clouds seemed to be thicker, and the flashing lightning and thunderbolts could be vaguely seen in the sky, with bursts of deafening echoes.

On the snow-covered mountain, the howling of the wind seemed to be louder, and Tony was even more keenly aware that the values ​​​​in the game system's monitoring display of the concentration of magic power and the pollution level of the abyss were also slowly increasing.

Tony frowned, feeling a little depressed for no reason.

"Hurry up, everyone, a snowstorm may be coming."

Athos glanced at the sky and said solemnly.

The group of people nodded and began to rush towards the main peak of Xueman Mountain.

The Ice Castle is located on Xueman Peak, the main peak of Xueman Mountain, two hills away from the group.

Looking from the direction of the Wall of Lament, you can only see the mountain covered with heavy snow in the distance, with the peak looming.

The appearance of the Wall of Lament made everyone feel a little disappointed, and the weather that gradually worsened cast a haze over the operation.

For safety reasons, even the magic energy-gathering core was finally handed over to Tony.

Athos even specifically told him that if he was really in danger, he should ignore other people and run away with the magic energy-gathering core.

Tony wanted to decline politely, but in the end, all he got in exchange was the firm looks of a few people and the almost pleading words of Athos:

"Sir Tony, you are the hope of this operation. As long as we can deliver the magic energy-gathering core to Dawn Fortress, even if it means sacrifice, it will be worth it for us."

Facing the expectant gaze of everyone, Tony finally accepted it.

He was in a mixed mood and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but at the same time he was determined to do his best to bring everyone back.

The journey started again, no one spoke, everyone lined up and moved forward quietly, with only the increasingly strong wind whistling in their ears.

Gradually, the temperature began to drop significantly, and falling snowflakes began to appear in the sky, dancing wildly in the wind.

Finally, after traveling for about two hours, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Xueman Peak.

The wind was howling, and the snowflakes had become denser. Snow crystals as big as goose feathers hit the face, which actually gave people a faint pain.

On the ground, the accumulated snow is like white sand. As the raging wind blows again, it forms wisps of white "mist". If not everyone is a professional, I am afraid that the strong wind will make it impossible to maintain at this time. body shape.

Fortunately, the group of people took a shortcut according to the map. When they arrived at Xueman Peak, they were not at the foot of the mountain, but on the mountainside with hills.

Standing on the mountainside of Xueman Peak, Tony looked up at the peak and saw that Xueman Peak was covered with snow. Perhaps because of taking a shortcut, the highest peak of Xueman Mountain was not as high as expected. , but the raging wind and snow obscured the peak, making it difficult to see clearly.

After the group took a short rest, they set off again. However, after all, it was a hard journey along the way, and coupled with the worsening weather, everyone's speed was much slower than before.

"Everyone, be careful and don't fall behind. Snowstorms are not necessarily a bad thing. When the weather worsens, fallen creatures may also hide!"

Athos cheered everyone up.

Braving the increasingly severe wind and snow, everyone began to climb the mountain.

It seems that what Athos said was verified. Although the weather became worse and worse, as everyone continued to move forward, they were lucky enough not to encounter even a monster.

In the wind and snow, you can occasionally hear a faint roar coming from a distance, which makes people tense up.

However, although the process was difficult, the group of people were professionals after all, and there were no monsters blocking the way. They followed the snow-covered mountain stairs of Xueman Mountain and approached the peak in less than an hour. .

"We're here."

Miler breathed a sigh of relief.

The temperature at the peak seemed to be even lower. Even as a professional, her voice seemed a little trembling due to the cold, her face was a little blue, and her eyebrows had already condensed with a layer of ice crystals.

Tony raised his head, and what he saw was a huge triumphal stone gate.

There is a unique line of text carved on the triumphal stone gate. Tony used the game system to understand it. It means "ice castle" in mainland Chinese.

Behind the stone gate, everything is hazy and cannot be seen clearly.

"It's a magic barrier! It's still running!"

Miler said in surprise.

"The Detective's Wall can still operate, and it's normal that the magic barrier can also operate."

Athos said.

After speaking, he said to everyone:

"Attention everyone, get ready for battle, we may encounter some scary guys next!"

After hearing this, the team members nodded one after another with serious eyes.

They clenched the weapons in their hands and raised their spirits.

"Let me go first and check the situation first. If I haven't come out after 10 seconds, it means I'm in danger. Mr. Athos, please hold the energy core first."

Looking at the stone gate shrouded in mist, Tony, who was already at the peak of Black Iron, said.

Athos hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head:

"No, Sir Tony, you can contact other chosen ones, your safety is the most important."

"Athos is right, your safety is the most important, and the energy-concentrated core is also placed with you."

Miler and Ramis also said.

"Yes, let me go, I am a heavily armored warrior, I want to be safer."

Warrior Bols picked up the ax in his hand and smiled.

Faced with everyone's firm refusal, Tony opened his mouth and finally had to give up.

Athos patted Bors on the shoulder, silently recited a spell, and added protective magic to him.

"Be careful."

He warned.

"Don't worry!"

Boers smiled.

Then he took a deep breath, stared hard, picked up the ax and stepped in...

Seeing his figure disappearing into the stone gate, everyone immediately held their breath, clenched their weapons, looked in the direction of the stone gate, and waited without turning around.

"One second...two seconds..."

Tony secretly kept time in his mind.

Time passed by second by second, but the stone gate remained the same, the wind howled, and the heavy snow sloping down like goose feathers.

Everyone's mood became more and more tense.

Finally, just when the time was about to expire, the fog in the stone door suddenly billowed, and Bols's sturdy figure suddenly walked out of it, unscathed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward:

"How was it?"

"There are no people or monsters inside, but... it should have been a dangerous battle, and some scratches and blood stains can be seen. It must have been a long, long time."

Boers said.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and finally focused on Tony and Athos.

Tony and Athos looked at each other and nodded.

"Let's go in!"

Athos said.

With his order, the group of people who had been prepared took action and entered the stone gate together.

Tony walked in the middle, and the moment he stepped into the stone door, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

The howling wind stopped, the thunder stopped, and the heavy snow like goose feathers also stopped. The rolling clouds in the sky seemed to have become a background without sound effects.

What comes into view is no longer the snow-capped mountains, but a group of majestic and spectacular buildings connected into a castle.

However, most of the buildings in this complex have collapsed, and the scene is in a mess. There are still many traces of battles on the ground, and some ruined staffs and swords can also be seen.

On the ruins of the wall, there are claw marks left by monsters and black blood stains. It seems that a long, long time has passed.

At the end of the building complex, you can see a tall tower reaching into the sky.

Different from other buildings made of gray boulders, the tower is ice blue, majestic and beautiful.

"It's the Ice Tower! The mage tower of Ice Castle's legendary mage Ace is also the core of the entire Ice Castle! The control center of the Wall of Lament is probably located there! We have to rush there!"

The old mage Athos looked into the distance and said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he looked around and told everyone:

"Be careful, everyone, there has been a battle here, and I'm afraid there may still be monsters left!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Along the dilapidated castle road, the **** team gathered their energy and moved in the direction of the ice tower.

It was very quiet inside the ice castle, and the only sounds that could be heard were the heavy breathing and slow footsteps of everyone.

Tony walked in the center of the team. As he advanced, he looked around vigilantly from the corner of his eyes, ready to fight at any time.

However, as everyone moved forward, the entire ice castle seemed to be dead, without any trace of any living thing.

Only the half-dead snowy mountain pines on the road vaguely bring a little bit of deep greenery to this former mage's holy land.

Finally... after moving slowly for about half an hour, everyone finally arrived under the ice tower.

Different from looking at it from a distance, standing at a close distance allowed everyone to see the true condition of the ice tower. The radius of this huge mage tower was probably hundreds of meters, and it was also covered with scars. It had obviously been baptized by battle.

On the ground, you can still see some scattered weapons and tattered robes, and occasionally you can see some scattered bones.

The door of the ice tower was closed tightly, and there was deathly silence all around. Looking at the towering mage tower, everyone inexplicably felt a pressure that was difficult to describe in words.

Their spirits were tense as never before. The calmness along the way did not make them relax, but made them more vigilant.

"Do you want to come in?"

Mireir looked at his teammates and asked.

Athos nodded and was about to answer, but suddenly his heart moved and he turned to look at the ice tower gate.

The somewhat dilapidated door slowly opened with a rumbling sound.

Athos' eyes were solemn, he clenched his weapon, and quickly told everyone to hide aside.

Everyone did not hesitate, followed him and hid behind a boulder nearby.

After everyone hid, the stone door slowly opened.

A young man wearing a gorgeous blue magic robe, who looked about twenty-four or five years old, a little thin, but with a handsome face and bright eyes walked out.

I saw his eyes sweeping around, and finally focused on the big stone money that everyone was avoiding.

Then, the young mage snorted coldly and said:

"Stop hiding, come out, I have sensed you."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat and they subconsciously looked at the team leader Athos, only to find that the old mage's eyes widened and he looked straight at the young man at the entrance of the ice tower.

His lips moved, his expression mixed with excitement, sadness, joy, and anxiety...

"Aren't you coming out yet?!"

The young man frowned, raised the exquisite magic wand in his hand, and pointed it at the crowd.

Tony's heart skipped a beat and he was about to reply when he saw Athos suddenly stand up.

He looked at the young man with complicated eyes and a slightly trembling voice:

"Adrian..."

Seeing Athos's appearance, the young mage also stayed where he was.

The staff in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, his eyes were excited and his voice was trembling:

"Father?"

……

The ice blue prisms are beautiful and sparkle with dazzling brilliance, and the crystal clear chandeliers hang high, emitting a soft magical light.

If it weren't for the broken Rubik's Cube devices on the ground, the cracked walls, and the magic altar covered with claw marks, this would probably be a luxurious and magnificent magic research laboratory.

This is the inside of the serac.

The young mage knelt down in front of the cracked fireplace, chanted a spell, and lit the magic fireplace.

In front of the fireplace, Tony and others sat around a crystal table. Their eyes looked around curiously while flicking between Athos and the male young man.

Athos was also sitting in front of the crystal table. He was holding his old staff and looking at the young man walking back from the fireplace and back to everyone, his eyes softer than ever before.

"Everyone, let me introduce...this is my proud son, Adrian, who is called the magic genius by Lord Simeon!"

He introduced to everyone with a proud look on his face.

Then, Athos looked at his son again, his eyes mixed with longing and complaint:

"Adrian, have you been here these past few years? How have you lived these past few years? Where are the others? Since you are alive... why don't you go back? Don't you know I'm worried about you?!"

His voice was a little incoherent and he seemed quite excited.

After hearing what Athos said, the young man lowered his head slightly, looking a little guilty.

He sighed and said:

"I'm sorry...Father, three years ago, the Ice Castle encountered a disaster. All the high-level mages went crazy. Even my mentor, Lord Ace, turned into a monster. Only a few survivors and I were sane. Wake up..."

"Before going completely crazy, my mentor transferred control of the ice tower to me and ordered me to seal the ice castle..."
