Chapter 1227: The Mountaintop
Jump down at the location of the passage with a map?
Judging by the signature and magical qualities on the scrolls, there is no doubt that this is the clue that Caterina left for herself.
The other party even calculated that when Ronald arrived here, he didn't have a map in his hand.
But well......
Where would this channel be pointed?
Ronald pondered his experiences in the Infinite Negative Realm, and soon targeted one placeβthe Well of Judgment
That's where Ronald and Baprol finally break out of the Infinite Negative Realm, which is exactly what Caterina says.
And perceive carefully.
At this moment, the shaft of the Well of Judgment was located in the middle of the mountain, completely covered by powerful defensive spells. The strength of this technique even exceeds the defense of the [Grede] fleet.
With the skills of this group of pirates, it is definitely impossible to get in.
The general conclusion was analyzed in his mind, but Ronald did not rely entirely on this action, but first stretched out his finger and pointed at a pirate:
"You, come here, I have something to ask you."
The 'Pirate King' who was pointed at immediately ran eagerly:
"My lord, if you ask, I must know everything!"
In the eyes of this pirate, Ronald's pause in flipping through the scrolls, and the way he thought at the moment, proved that the man in front of him had discovered something.
Then the results are easily predictable.
As long as they can cope with the next thing smoothly, freedom and security will come back to them!
In this way, Ronald asked the pirate in front of him:
"I wonder if you've ever been near the Well of Judgment? Is there anything special about that there right now? β
"The Well of Judgment?"
The pirate's face was a little dazed at first, but after all, he had been active in the barrier mountain for more than a month, so he quickly got a guess from the available information:
"My lord, are you talking about the hollow in the middle of the entire floating mountain?"
Ronald nodded in affirmation:
"That's right, it's the Well of Judgment, that's what the people who originally lived here called."
ββ¦β¦β
Ronald reveals his familiarity with Barrier Mountain, which is a pressure on the pirates.
So after bowing his head and being silent for a few seconds.
The 'Pirate King' looked up again, and replied in a cautious tone:
"My lord, that place is protected by a powerful spell, and we can't go inside at all. However, some of the brave ones managed to climb to the top outside the mountain, and they also saw something. β
The Pirate King, though very serious, did not elaborate on what he saw from the top of the mountain.
Ronald had a bad premonition in his mind.
Don't be a pirate who can provide you with key information, who has been directly swallowed by the black fog of hell in the siege just now!
"What about them? Where is it now? β
With uneasiness in his heart, Ronald immediately asked.
But this time his luck was clearly good.
The Pirate King turned his head to look around the square, and soon his eyes lit up, and he yelled in one direction:
"Pete, Lyle, you two come here, the adults have something to ask you!"
Two of the pirates standing in the puddle immediately reacted and walked straight on the way they got out of the way.
Seeing these two pirates approaching, the 'Pirate King' directly took the lead and ordered:
"Your Excellency, you need to know what you encountered at the top of the mountain!"
"Honestly tell what you see, don't hide it in the slightest, do you understand?"
ββ¦β¦β
The pirate named Pete and Lyle looked at each other.
Their reaction was not so much fear of the 'Pirate King' as more respect for Ronald as a strong man.
Actually, this is also very understandable.
While all the pirates were exploring the treasure in the Barrier Mountain, those who dared to climb the surface of the mountain to the top, even if it was also for greedy purposes, were definitely not of the ordinary level.
After staring like this for a few seconds, the man standing on the left was the first to speak:
"My lord, I'm Lyle, and he's Pete."
"We did climb to the top of the mountain from the outside before, and we got a certain amount of information."
Lyle's tone was quite cautious, and there was a clear sense of tentativeness.
As the target of the other party's temptation, Ronald saw his scruples, so he gave an answer very casually:
"Honestly, I guarantee your safety."
"Thank you for your kindness." Lai Er breathed a sigh of relief, and then described what he had seen before. "Pete and I climbed to the top of the mountain, which was also protected by powerful spells, and we couldn't break through."
"But standing in front of me, I still saw something."
"At the top of the mountain, broken earth and rocks and huge rocks were scattered everywhere, and the whole environment felt as if it had been ravaged by giants. We can vaguely see that there used to be buildings on the top of the hill here, but now there are basically only ruins......"
Lyle's account is very detailed.
Quietly listening to the other party's description, Ronald soon noticed something different.
When they first left the [Infinite Negative Number Realm], they had a battle with the wizards of the Barrier Mountain, and they did cause a lot of damage.
But compared to the situation in Ronald's memory, the current barrier mountain is clearly more dilapidated. Not surprisingly, it has since become a battlefield for other powerful spellcasters, such as Caterina and the old man.
With the information in his mind, Ronald began to ask himself
"Is there anything special about it other than the ruins of buildings and the broken ground?"
This is the first time Ronald has taken the initiative to speak.
Lyle took this very seriously, and after thinking about it, he spoke again:
"A gray glow."
"In the gaps in the ruins, I seemed to see a gray light. It's just that the color is so close to the surroundings that I'm not sure if I'm looking at it. β
Because he was not completely sure, Lyle did not dare to affirm his discovery in front of Ronald.
But Pete on the side helped him out:
"My lord, I also saw what Ryle saw."
"Unless there's something misleading in there, we shouldn't be able to make a mistake together."
ββ¦β¦β
After careful questioning of the news, Ronald was sure that there would be no major gains on the pirates' side.
So he rearranged the spells on his body, and then said to his companion beside him:
"I already know the general situation."
"Let's go to the top of the mountain to have a look, and pay attention to safety during the ......"
Before leaving, Ronald of course had to give a good idea of the situation on the barrier mountain and the problems that might arise later.
What he didn't expect was the result.
The mermaid Lilu suddenly spoke at this moment, and stared at Ronald's child hole with expectant eyes:
"Ronald, can I come with you?"
"In the clan, although I am only a novice explorer, I still have some skills!"
