From Wild Mage to Wizard King
Chapter 302 The Northern Wall
Roland and Hela were flying high in the sky.
Below them was a dark land that made all intelligent life forms feel disgusted and fearful.
On this land that had been drained of everything, there were only black, lifeless loose soil blocks, and no other colors could be seen.
When it was first drained to become a dead land, there were some weeds, trees, or corpses of wild animals on this black land, but now, all these things have disappeared completely.
Hela looked at the dead land below, and even she felt a little uncomfortable.
Although Hela's dark element talent was extremely high, the dead land was not formed by the high concentration of dark elements, but was born after being drained.
Therefore, the elemental environment of the dead land was similar to that of the ordinary environment.
Moreover, even the undead would be affected by the dead land. Unless they were undead without flesh, the undead with flesh, even skeletons, would be absorbed by the dead land, and their flesh would age rapidly, and then they would die at the speed of light because of the loss of flesh.
Therefore, Hela did not like the dead land either.
However, this discomfort did not last long. In less than a day, Roland and Hela, flying at high speed, passed through the long dead land and saw greenery again.
At the junction of the green land and the dead land in the distance, the two saw some weeds and trees that were being eroded rapidly.
Under Hela's gaze, a tree with eroded roots fell from the green land and fell straight into the range of the dead land.
When the tree approached the dead land, before it fell completely, in mid-air, the brown-green trees turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hard trees became soft.
When it landed, the tall trees had quietly turned into gray sand piles on the ground.
Looking at all this, Hela had a new concept of the danger of the dead land.
After passing through the dead land, the two did not land immediately, but flew a few hundred meters to the green land, and found a place without green skin before slowly landing.
After landing on the ground again, Hela also looked at Roland and asked.
"Should we find a location first, or go to the northern wall first?"
"Let's go to the northern wall first, and see if there are any suitable places along the way. If there are, just write them down along the way."
Roland looked at a greenskin tribe not far away and added.
"We are sneaking in this time, try to go around the greenskin orcs and don't alarm them."
"Understood."
Hela nodded.
After deciding on the action plan for the target, Roland and Hela rested for a while, and then set off again.
However, this time they did not fly directly in the sky. Although the greenskin orcs did not have the ability to fly, some greenskin warriors were quite proficient in throwing.
Don't be shot down by them while flying.
In addition, the greenskin orcs have the ability to detect vitality, so it is not easy to be discovered when they are on the ground, but when they fly in the sky, Roland and Hela's presence is particularly conspicuous.
It is easy to be discovered and cause trouble.
So, after leaving the deadly place, Roland and Hela mainly took land actions.
Fortunately, Roland and Hela were both in good physical condition, so their speed was not slow.
Moreover, with the map provided by the border faction members who originally lived in this area, Roland and Hela could also run directly towards the north wall.
Let alone, their luck this time was both good and bad.
On the way to the north wall, Roland found several good places suitable for setting up magic formations. On the way, Roland had to pass through the core areas of several greenskin warlords.
In order not to alarm these greenskin warlords, Roland and Hela took several detours.
Moreover, during one detour, Roland and Hela went to a worse place, to the battlefield where two greenskin warlords were fighting.
If Roland had not been so sensitive and discovered these two greenskin warlords who were perceived as low-level transcendents in time, Roland and Hela would have passed through the battlefield.
If they did this, they would definitely be discovered by these two greenskin warlords.
However, after Roland discovered it, the two of them still took a longer detour to avoid the battlefield where the two greenskin warlords were fighting.
The reason why they didn't discover it at first was mainly because this kind of thing was too common.
Before, the greenskin warlords who were close to the rebels or the coalition army could still fight with them, but these greenskin warlords who were inside, if they wanted to fight, they could only fight with other greenskin warlords.
Moreover, due to the characteristics of the greenskin orcs that can plunder vitality, not only will the greenskin warlords fight for each other's vitality, but the greenskin tribes under their command will also constantly fight each other.
Roland and Hela can encounter dozens of battles on average every day. If they have to avoid all of them, I don't know how much time will be wasted.
Therefore, for some small-scale greenskin battles, the two will choose to go directly through the battlefield.
However, although it was a bit troublesome, after spending a few days, Roland and Hela still successfully arrived at the location of the northern wall.
Roland and Hela came to the corner of the northern wall in a dusty manner.
The two raised their heads and looked at the high wall in front of them.
Although the high wall in front of them was just an ordinary high wall due to lack of maintenance and energy.
However, the extremely tall and thick wall still showed its strong defensive power.
As a solid defense line used by the Central Kingdom to fight against the beast tide, the construction of the Northern Wall almost concentrated a large amount of manpower and material resources of the Central Kingdom at that time.
Even though the Central Kingdom at that time only controlled less than half of the land of Donnar, the Northern Wall is still an almost indestructible defense line after the Central Kingdom spent decades of construction at all costs.
Since its establishment, it has only been breached once, which was the only time more than ten years ago when the Green Tide Army breached the Northern Wall.
However, this is not surprising. After humans went to Sinnar to open up new land, the number of spellcasters in Donnar has been declining.
Although the main popular force in Donnar is knights, most talented extraordinary seeds will choose to embark on the path of knights, but with so many people in Donnar and the needs of the ruling class, a group of spellcasters will eventually be born.
However, due to the atmosphere of Donnar, although spellcasters are not excluded, they are always inferior to knights in status. Moreover, a large number of knights occupy the noble positions of the Central Kingdom, and it is difficult for a few spellcaster families to join the circle of knights.
Therefore, a large number of spellcasters began to explore Sinar, trying to establish a kingdom belonging to spellcasters.
As for the current situation, these spellcasters who chose to leave Donnar were undoubtedly successful. They established countless spellcaster kingdoms in Sinar, and after Littorio established the Silver Empire, under the spellcaster policy implemented, the human kingdom of Sinar was obviously more inclined to spellcasters.
Before the Silver Empire and the Central Kingdom had not yet fallen out, spellcasters born in Donnar would basically move to Sinar actively or passively.
Especially after the establishment of the Tower of Truth and the obvious improvement of the status of spellcasters in the Silver Empire, the scale of this transfer was even larger, so that the inheritance of spellcasters in Donnar was interrupted.
The spellcasters who gradually formed a system completely disappeared in Donnar, leaving only a small number of spellcasters with unclear inheritance, who were called wizards by the Donnar knights.
Most wizards are not even as reliable as any wild wizard in Sinar.
And this result has led to the maintenance level of the northern wall becoming lower and lower.
As the pinnacle of countless spellcasting masters, how can the maintenance of the northern wall be maintained by a few low-level wizards?
The northern defense line was established by human spellcasters before they went to Sinalan for knowledge.
Although the core runes are relatively backward, the runes arranged by nearly a hundred high-level spellcasters are definitely not bad. In addition to the material support of the entire human world at that time and the complex rune combinations that have been superimposed for countless years, the complexity of the northern defense line is definitely not something that some low-level spellcasters can understand.
Therefore, after receiving the order, low-level spellcasters and wizards can only make random repairs according to their own ideas.
And the central government of the Central Kingdom lost power and gradually disintegrated. Nearly ten knight kingdoms each occupied part of the northern defense line. The northern defense line that could be maintained uniformly before has become a situation where nearly ten knight kingdoms are divided into sections and repaired separately.
This naturally makes the situation of the northern defense line worse.
Even after hearing that the green tide was coming, the Knight Kingdom urgently strengthened maintenance and filled in defense personnel. The northern wall, once known as the "Wall of Sighs", was still easily penetrated by the green tide, and even Kan Ozu did not do anything.
Roland passed through the wall and saw a huge mountain of shit inside the wall, which was folded and piled up by countless runes.
When Roland saw these shit mountains, he was numb.
This is not the easy-to-modify shit mountain of the cultists at the beginning. After all, it is just a ritual that has been circulated among the cultists for a few years.
However, the northern wall in front of us is a shit mountain formed after thousands of years of countless maintenance.
Looking around, all parts of the northern wall that can be seen in the field of vision are this kind of code shit mountain.
Moreover, the most terrible thing is that the most important core rune has been moved by some little genius, and a bunch of inexplicable uh, is it magic rune?
Roland frowned as he looked at the strange things in the core rune, not knowing whether they were magic runes.
These things disturbed the entire core rune, so that the core rune became a mess.
Moreover, there were obvious traces of modification and cutting on the core rune. I don’t know who was the genius who deleted the rune directly, but how could he modify the rune directly? And what the hell is it to cut a whole spell rune in half?
Roland became more and more annoyed.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to move his eyes away from the core rune and look at the runes on the periphery. Then, Roland became even more annoyed.
Damn!
Looking at the runes outside the core rune, Roland almost had a black eye.
It was even more outrageous than the cult sacrifice ceremony. Although there were many useless runes in the cult sacrifice ceremony, the runes on the outside of the northern wall in front of him were much better than the cultists.
If the cultists were just a kettle with a few small holes, then the northern wall in front of him was a wooden barrel with countless big holes.
Looking around, nearly 10% of the runes were of some unknown nature, and only a few spell runes seemed to be somewhat useful.
Well, Roland took a look, and the runes that were still useful were used to illuminate.
Shit! Repairing the lights is considered maintenance, right? You little geniuses!!! I ****
No wonder the Northern Wall was so easily breached by the Green Tide. The core runes and external runes turned into this weird state. It was a miracle that the Northern Wall could last for a day.
As Roland's face grew darker and darker as he watched, Hela, who was also watching on the side, also frowned more and more.
Although she is not a master of runes, she has received Roland's rune education and has learned a little bit of it herself, so she still knows a little bit about runes.
Even at her level, Hela could see the incredible runes inside the northern wall in front of her.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of runes will be immediately confused when faced with these external runes that are all miscellaneous and have been directly glued together.
Roland said that no extraordinary person should be underestimated. Maybe this is some special rune design?
Seeing Hela who was a little dizzy thinking this, she withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Roland.
Since there were only two people present, Roland and Hela, Roland did not maintain control of his expression, and his whole face turned dark.
Even a fool can tell that Roland is in a very bad mood right now.
Seeing Roland's expression, Hela also swallowed what she wanted to say again.
Well, it seems that these designs are really bad, and they really don’t work.
Since all his attention was focused on the northern wall in front of him, Roland did not notice Hela's small movements.
After taking a hard look at all these messy spell rune designs, Roland came to a conclusion.
Rather than rebuild, it’s better to tear down and start over.
The spell runes on the northern wall have been accumulated for countless years, and have undergone unreliable maintenance many times. Various runes have been deleted, deleted, and randomly added.
As for the current Northern Wall, even if the founders are brought over, they may not be able to understand the current complicated stuff.
Instead of wasting time trying to figure out how to repair it, it would be better to keep a few runes that are still usable, and tear down the rest and start over.
As a master in the rune field, given Roland enough resources and time, Roland can create a stronger northern wall.
However, Roland does not have sufficient resources and time, and because of the green tide, the reconstruction movement cannot be too big.
Although Roland had many ideas for improvement, he could only choose the most cost-effective plan.
However, even if this is the case, Roland will have to mobilize many more resources and spellcasters than originally planned to assist him in rebuilding.
After reading all the runes in front of him, Roland sighed slightly helplessly.
"Roland?"
Hela's voice sounded next to Roland.
Roland looked at Hela, looking at Hela's worried eyes, Roland smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, it's just that the condition of the northern wall is worse than I thought. I might be busy next time."
"Go up and have a look."
After saying that, Roland slowly lifted into the air and flew into the northern wall, and Hela followed Roland and flew in.
Through the unobstructed window, Roland and Hela entered the interior of the northern wall.
As soon as they entered, the two of them smelled a foul smell, which seemed to be a mixture of rotting corpses, rust, excrement, blood and other smells.
Roland floated slightly on the ground and did not land directly on the dusty ground.
He raised his head and looked into the distance along the passage.
Not far away, Roland saw several corpses torn in half.
Roland and Hela slowly floated over.
These were several decomposed human corpses. They were torn in half by unknown weapons. There were obvious bite marks on the side where their corpses were torn open, and the flesh and blood in their bodies was also obviously missing. Quite a few.
In addition, their heads were torn open and their brains disappeared completely.
You don't need to think about it to know that they were killed by the green-skinned orcs, and the missing body parts were probably eaten by the green-skinned orcs as food.
Roland sighed, and black flames appeared on his right finger.
Then, with a slight flick, he threw the flames onto the corpses.
The black flames quickly spread to the whole body of the corpse, quickly burning all the corpses.
After burning the body, Roland and Hela continued to move forward along the passage.
Along the way, Roland recorded all the runes of the Northern Wall he saw, took out a pen and paper, and drew a large rune map of the Northern Wall based on the records.
He must first record all the runes on the northern wall and draw a rune map. Then he can prepare a reconstruction plan based on the rune map and calculate the resources and manpower required.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, Roland still became more and more dizzy.
In the past, when the northern wall was uniformly maintained by the Central Kingdom, although the level was not good, the style was relatively uniform. However, in the past thousand years, the maintenance has been assigned to various knight kingdoms. Therefore, the styles of the areas they are responsible for are completely different. Not uniform.
Although Roland plans to tear down and rebuild, these spell runes cannot be simply and rudely erased. The connection between the spell runes must be confirmed and preparation can be carried out before rebuilding.
The inconsistent styles mean that the connections between spells and runes need to be carefully screened.
This undoubtedly greatly increased Roland's workload and made it more difficult to rebuild the northern wall.
While Roland was recording and drawing the rune map, Hela was also assisting Roland in recording the runes and sharing Roland's pressure.
At the same time, Hela, who didn't know much about runes, also took some time to clean up the various corpses and odors in the passage to prevent these things from affecting Roland's attention.
After all, Roland still had to do the main work of drawing the rune map, and Hela could only do some simple auxiliary work.
