Casting spells

To be honest, he really didn't see even the slightest similarity between the two.

The middle-aged uncle approached and hesitated for a moment, and quickly pointed to the peaks about 3000 meters away from the north of the guide: "If nothing else, it should be these two places. You see, according to the map's description of the sun, only when After the sun has set from the west, the shadows of the three peaks are likely to meet at some point below."

"Triangulation?! So that's it..."

After roughly glancing at the positions of the other two mountain peaks, Zhang Cheng quickly showed an expression of enlightenment.

Taking advantage of the fact that the mountain does not move and the shadows created when the sun rises and sets to hide the entrance, it turns out that the seal set by the Nordic gods is actually in such an inconspicuous place.

That's right!

His purpose of this trip is to find the first seal that has been broken, and pay his respects to the face of the "predecessor" by the way.

"Damn it! Could it be that the pirate's treasure is really buried here?" The uncle's eyes showed excitement and expectation.

As the birthplace of the earliest pirate culture, Norway, Sweden and Denmark have always had many folk stories and legends, and occasionally even some ancient precious metal coins and cultural relics are unearthed, which are the property left by the Viking pirates. .

"Treasure? If you mean gold, silver and jewelry, then I can tell you for sure that it is not. But to some extent, it is indeed a huge treasure, but it is of little use to you."

After all, Zhang Cheng looked up at the position of the sun, sat down on the snow, and patiently waited for the changing shadows of the three peaks at the foot of the mountain.

"Okay, it seems I'm thinking too much."

Hearing that it was not gold, silver or jewelry, the middle-aged uncle immediately lost interest in this expedition. He took out the stainless steel small wine jug he carried in his arms, unscrewed the lid, raised his head and took a big gulp.

Although the northern hemisphere has almost officially entered summer, the temperature on the peak at an altitude of more than 2000 meters still maintains a low temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius, which can be greatly relieved by drinking strong alcohol.

The two sat like this for four and a half hours, before the shadows of the three peaks finally merged into one point on a cliff.

It can be vaguely seen through the telescope that there is an inconspicuous cave entrance at the coincidence point.

But what is interesting is that it is close to the west, and below is the endless Norwegian Sea.

Under normal circumstances, even with the help of climbing tools, it is almost impossible for humans to climb up.

Seeing this scene, the uncle subconsciously stood up and exclaimed: "My God! A cave on a cliff! Unbelievable! No one has discovered it for so many years!"

"It seems that I'm lucky!" Zhang Cheng patted the snow on his buttocks, and ran towards the direction of the cave without saying a word.

But before he ran far, the uncle guide couldn't help shouting: "Are you crazy? There are cliffs there! And you didn't bring any climbing tools and safety ropes! If you accidentally slipped and fell, you must It will be smashed into meatloaf!"

Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you imagined. Also, thanks for leading me the way, the employment relationship between us is over here, you can go back."

After saying this, he ignored the other party, and directly climbed down the raised shale layer on the side of the cliff.

In fact, if there were no outsiders present, he would have used flying or teleportation spells a long time ago, so there was no need for such trouble.

But unfortunately, the uncle guide was quite responsible. He stood by and watched him crawl into the cave, and then turned around and returned the same way with his bag on his back.

Looking at the back of the other party gradually going away, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, took out the key from his pocket - Odin's Eye, and walked carefully along the cave.

After a while, he came to a huge stalactite hundreds of meters high.

I don't know whether it is human intervention or natural formation. This huge stalactite is not like a bamboo shoot like its kind, but like a giant tree rising from the ground.

Next to the tree, there is a thumb-sized spring, gurgling and turbid groundwater constantly gushing out.

"Interesting... If I'm not wrong, this should be the world tree in Norse mythology, and this spring is the legendary fountain of wisdom. According to the description of Odin in "Eda", I just need to put Odin Put the eye into the Fountain of Wisdom, and the entrance of the seal will probably be opened."

After muttering a few words to himself, Zhang Cheng casually put the Eye of Odin on top of the spring.

moment!

The entire spring seemed to come alive, devouring the Eye of Odin in one gulp, followed by the huge stalactite world tree for some reason began to tremble violently, and finally opened a small teleportation entrance at the center of the trunk.

Unlike most portals, this entrance is more like a mirror, or a pool of still lake and well water, with occasional slight flow.

On the other side of the water, it is not the land that is facing the water, but a place with extremely low light visibility like the deep sea.

Chapter 8 Volent

Without any hesitation!

Zhang Cheng walked directly through the entrance to the center of a huge temple, surrounded by huge stone statues over ten meters high, and could smell the unique stench of sea water.

To be precise, this temple was built deep in the seabed. Through the faint light provided by the strange crystal inlaid on the top of the head, one can see the ocean currents constantly following the tide and various fishes in the water.

Of course, none of the above is the most important.

The most important thing is that in the place where the first half of the temple is soaked in seawater, there is a huge octopus that cannot be described in words. It is more than ten times bigger than the king squid he met on the bottom of the sea before. It can easily smash any wooden structure of the ship.

North Sea giant monster!

The name popped up in Zhang Cheng's mind instantly.

Obviously, this thing is the guard left by the Nordic gods to protect the seal.

But it had died with Volent in that battle long ago.

However, due to some kind of immortality, the corpse did not rot and deteriorate due to the passage of time, but remained intact.

Not far behind the giant monster of the North Sea, there is also a human corpse lying there. If nothing else, it should be the creator of the magic sword Soulcatcher - Volent.

He has short gray hair and looks about 50 years old. He has three-dimensional facial features of typical European and American white men. He is not handsome, but he is not ugly either.

As for the seal made of unknown materials, it has long been destroyed to the point where its original appearance cannot be seen, leaving only a bottomless pit.

Out of curiosity about mythical creatures, Zhang Cheng quickly bent down to inspect the remains of the North Sea giant monster, and soon found that the magic resistance was outrageous.

Whether it is elemental magic with huge lethality or various necromantic spells, at most it can only produce less than [-]% of the effect of the original spell.

Moreover, this guy also has the characteristic of super-speed regeneration. No matter how much he is damaged, he will usually recover in the next ten seconds to a few minutes. It is completely a nightmare for spellcasters.

In addition, the magical energy contained in the remaining blood of the North Sea Banshee is far beyond anyone's imagination, and she must have had very terrifying magic-like abilities during her lifetime.

I really don't know how Walent killed the other party in the first place.

After inspecting this sticky and slippery corpse, Zhang Cheng quickly turned his attention to another corpse.

Of course, saying the corpse is actually a bit inaccurate.

Because after a simple inspection, he found that Volent was not dead in the strict sense, but just entered some kind of long-term shock or dormant state.

Especially as the most important soul of intelligent life, it has always been sealed in the body and slept soundly.

It's not hard to see that Volent suffered terrible injuries after the battle, so much so that he knew that he couldn't last too long, so he had to choose this unreliable method in exchange for a chance of resurrection.

"Should I praise you for your strong desire to survive? Or should I lament your accurate prediction of the future? But it doesn't matter, anyway, even if I don't need to revive you, I can get a lot of useful information." As he said, Zhang Cheng raised his hand with a shining silver light. fingers, gently touching the forehead of the corpse.
