Chapter 1744: Returning to Cloudsdale (Ⅰ)

About the Snow Demon Wendigo and the soul collar, Joan still has many unresolved questions, such as why the soul collar is stored in Cloud City, who was the person who sealed the Snow Demon in the collar, and could it be Yunzhong? The master of the city, Wavrunier?

Wanting to answer these questions, Joan felt that it was necessary to go to Cloud City again for a more in-depth exploration.

Joan looked at the calendar on the desk. Today is January 31, 1623. It is winter vacation, and he has plenty of time to explore.

Before leaving, he still needs to make some preparations, the most important of which is to use the "detection technique" to search for the Snow Demon Wendigo, to check whether it is possible for this guy to be quietly resurrected before he was dreamed of. , Will it hide in Cloud City?

The result of the detection was "No such person was found", indicating that the snow demon Wendigo has not yet been resurrected, and Joan can finally feel relieved.

There is no snow demon Wendigo in Yunzhongcheng, and the most powerful guardians in the castle are nothing more than six "iron golems". With Joan's current strength, he no longer needs to worry about how to deal with the "iron golems" .

A week later, Joan sent the revised draft of the Proceedings, together with the prefaces written by Professor Moriarty and Dean Franklin, to Editor-in-Chief Tennyson. Journey back to Cloudsdale.

This time, there is no need to look for the magic beans that can grow the sky-reaching vines. Qiao An took out the "Navigation Compass", found the coordinates of Cloud City City recorded two years ago, and directly used "Transfer from Another World".

...

A full moon hangs in the middle of the night sky, illuminating the vast snow field in the clouds.

In the center of the snow field stands a majestic castle, like a majestic giant high in the clouds.

The castle is surrounded by a city wall, and between the city wall and the castle is a manor for growing fruits and vegetables and raising livestock.

The magic barrier extends from the top of the wall to the sky, like a large transparent bowl upside down above the manor, preventing outsiders from breaking into the cloud manor from the air.

The only gates to enter the manor are two bronze gates with constant "secret locks".

A stone tablet was erected beside the door, engraved with several lines of Norse letters-a kind of ancient giant script.

A beam of teleportation light suddenly rose from the silent clouds, and a figure in a robe gradually appeared in the beam of light.

Surviving the brief dizziness that accompanied the teleportation, Joan stepped out of the teleportation array, and saw the familiar stone tablet at first sight.

Joan stopped in front of the stele, revisiting the handwriting of the cloud giant archmage Vavrunil after two years, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Turning to face the bronze door next to the stele, Joan recalled that he and his companions were standing here two years ago, thinking about how to open the door that was sealed by magic.

Joan remembered that he used the 2-ring "knocking technique" to temporarily suppress the "secret lock" that sealed the door. Although he successfully opened the door, he also alarmed the guards in the manor and was almost caught.

After learning the lesson from last time, Joan didn't need the "knocking technique" to open the door this time. He first added "mage armor" and "shield technique" to his body to strengthen his defense, and then chanted a sentence that symbolizes "road". Elegant mantra.

"Tie!"

Joan's body flickered with golden light, and then returned to normal, and successfully blessed himself with the 5-ring "Wall Piercing Technique".

Using this spell, there is no need to open the door at all, you can pass through the wall directly, and in the next 14 hours, the "wall penetration" will continue to work, so that Joan can pass through obstacles as he likes, saving every encounter. A door must be unlocked by casting a spell.

"Wall penetration" can theoretically penetrate walls of any material, but the denser and thicker the wall, the more difficult it is to penetrate.

The walls of Yunzhong City are not only solid and thick, but also protected by magic, which further increases the difficulty of passing through the wall. Qiao An walked towards the wall, as if trudging through the mud. It took two minutes to pass the wall with difficulty, and suddenly felt light!

Opposite the fence is the vegetable field of the manor. Joan looked up at the cabbage that was a foot taller than himself, and then at the earthworm wriggling in the nearby soil, which was comparable in size to a python. Although he was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help feeling a dreamlike dizziness, as if I didn't break into the giant's vegetable garden, but shrunk down to the size of an ant.

Joan came here once at least, so he wouldn't make too much fuss, calmed down a little, and took out a string of glass necklaces from the spell-casting material bag.

He first blessed the necklace with a "mythical link", and then split it into 18 glass beads, and used the "peeping magic eye" to transform the glass beads into a group of "drones" flying in the sky, spreading out investigations ahead.

On both sides of the avenue leading to the gate of the castle, there are green vegetable beds on the left and an orchard full of flowers and trees on the right.

The vegetables and fruits in the garden are surprisingly large, and the grapes hanging from the trellis are like bunches of purple lanterns, which look very attractive.

Joan swallowed, resisting the urge to reach out and pick the grapes.

When he first visited this manor two years ago, Shrek just took a bite of an apple that was blown down by the wind and triggered a magic alarm. First he was bombarded by lightning, and then he alarmed the large group of mythical griffins and mythical owl bears guarding the manor. It made everyone very embarrassed.

With Joan's current strength, neither Luo Lei nor those low-level mythical creatures are considered a threat, but he doesn't want to waste time and energy here, avoiding grape trellises and fruit forests, and walking forward carefully.

Passing through the vegetable fields and orchards, the gate of the castle is just ahead, but before approaching the gate, you have to pass under the guard tower.

A hexagonal castle with a guard tower at each corner. The sentry tower is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is inhabited by mythical griffins, which enter and exit through the skylight on the top of the tower; the lower floor is the den of mythical owl bears.

Joan stood in the bushes and looked up at the sentry tower, and found that the light cast from the top of the tower contained magical fluctuations, and it was probably attached to a prophecy spell such as "see through invisibility". If he walked directly under the tower, it would inevitably alarm the griffins and owls Bear.

After a little thought, Joan activated the "power of myth", blessed himself with "myth camouflage", and then performed "transfiguration", turning into a snow-white owl bear, and walked towards the gate of the castle swaggeringly.

When passing by the sentry tower, the searchlight fell on him, but the magic alarm was not activated. Obviously, he was deceived by the "mythical disguise" and regarded him as the real mythical owl bear, who was performing a patrol mission.

Joan passed through the warning belt smoothly, looked up at the majestic castle ahead, with a touch of nostalgia in his eyes.

Two years ago, he and his companions had roughly explored this seven-story castle from bottom to top, and still remembered that there were more than 300 rooms inside the castle, and all kinds of household facilities were readily available.
