"How long will it take to reach that door?"
Deep in the Forgotten Sea, on the lead-black sand beach of a lost land, the honorable guardian of the Olivendi family, the ninth-rank ultimate powerhouse [Silver Eyes] Einstein looked quite annoyed.
Ever since he took on this mission and embarked on a journey to explore the mysterious door with the "key" and the people of the Circle of Truth, he felt as if the whole world was against him.
Along the way, all kinds of natural disasters appeared from all kinds of imaginable and unexpected places, as if the map had eyes.
Even though he had anticipated that this would be a difficult journey, when he actually went deep into the Endless Sea, he realized that he was too optimistic.
However, within a few years, he suffered three serious injuries and escaped from danger many times, and has not yet fully recovered.
If it weren't for the fact that the representative of the Circle of Truth was also surrounded by dangers and even fell into crises more dangerous than him several times, he would almost doubt whether the people of the Circle of Truth wanted to take advantage of the dangers in the environment to plot against him.
However, the little girl who first explored here was quite skilled. Although the journey was equally dangerous, she was able to avoid the real dangers by a narrow margin.
Since the group's contact with the Yar continent was cut off due to the disturbance of time and space when they went deep into the Sea of Oblivion, the powerful Lord Einstein is still not aware of the information that "the Ring of Truth has captured Fiona."
"It's almost there, Your Majesty, Einstein. We have already set foot on this forgotten land. As long as we cross the cold wasteland ahead, pass through the silent stone forest, and follow the pilgrim's road to the top of the mountains, we will be able to see the door."
The person who answered him was Claire, a blonde girl who was leaning on a travel staff and had a gorgeous lady's rapier hanging on her waist. Her blue eyes, as clear as the ice sea, looked into the distance, as if she saw the magnificent door again.
Strictly speaking, the land beneath everyone's feet does not belong to the main material world. The existence of this land, which was originally split from the ancient continent, has been "forgotten" by the main material world.
The external manifestation is that this place cannot be reached by ordinary means, and it is impossible to communicate with the main material world by almost any means. Anything that wants to reach this place must pass through a specific ocean current containing mysterious power and pass through the gap between the real world and the unreal space.
This forgotten land was shrouded in a faint mist of unknown origin, and the environment looked gray. The clouds in the sky had an indescribable color, as if there were multiple light sources shining down from several opposite directions.
When they set foot on the cold plain that Claire mentioned, the group finally understood the meaning of the 'cold' the girl mentioned. It was not the ordinary coldness of temperature, but a kind of chill that seemed to emanate from the depths of the soul.
Even Silver Eyes Einstein, who possessed the blood of the Wind Crystal Bird and treated the cold as nothing, felt the biting cold that he had not felt for many years.
This kind of coldness seems to be some kind of rule of this strange plain. Correspondingly, ninth-level professionals can resist it with their own rule power and eliminate most of the effects.
Different from the thrilling journey before, this plain had no other danger except the strange coldness.
As the group went deeper into the plain, huge rocks with strange shapes appeared before their eyes. Their surfaces were covered with patterns that were difficult to tell whether they were man-made or natural. Their arrangement seemed chaotic at first glance, but if you looked at them for a long time, you would find that their distribution seemed to contain some strange geometric rules.
This stone forest was the only way to the 'gate'. In a strange and solemn atmosphere of silence, they passed through the cold and dry stone forest.
As everyone moved forward, the thin gray mist around them gradually began to thicken, and then after reaching a certain critical point, it gradually became thinner.
Finally, as the last boulder that formed the stone forest was left behind, a towering mountain range appeared in front of them. Before they entered the stone forest, they had never seen this huge mountain range.
"This is the Pilgrim's Road. There will be no danger from here to the gate."
Between two rows of huge stone pedestals arranged in an arc, Claire exhaled softly and explained to the two people following her.
"The Pilgrim's Way?"
Looking up at the stairs that went all the way up, with the top even immersed in the clouds, Avis, who had been silent until then, suddenly asked a question without any context.
“Yes, it was a miracle.”
Claire nodded without explaining anything further. She just leaned on her travel stick and led the two of them to the top of the mountain step by step.
As the group continued to climb higher, traces of ice and snow began to spread around them. By the time they reached the top of the mountain, ice and snow had become the main theme of the environment.
Avis looked far into the distance. On the other side of the mountains was a vast glacial basin surrounded by mountains. The mountaintop where Avis and others were located was just an insignificant part of it.
However, what is more eye-catching than the mountains is the huge gate surrounded by the mountains, which is magnificent and majestic but no less majestic than the surrounding mountains.
It is made entirely of gray-white rocks, with the top covered with snow and icicles, and simple yet gorgeous patterns clinging to its surface. An indescribable power is surging vaguely from behind the stone gate, but is firmly locked inside by the closed door.
The broken glaciers as sharp as blades spread out in all directions with the giant gate as the center. They meander and undulate, spreading wantonly. Countless dark cracks in time and space flicker faintly in the cracks of the glaciers, making the entire basin glow with an icy glow.
Facing the magnificent view before them, everyone's breathing slowed down a bit. As Claire said, as long as they saw its existence, they could instinctively understand that it was a true miracle.
"This is it. Use the 'key' as a medium to activate the ritual here, and you will be able to open the door."
At this time, Claire had walked to the side of the mountain top, in front of a low gray-black gneiss altar that was mostly covered with ice and snow.
The pure golden hair danced in the biting cold wind on the mountain top. The half-elf girl bent down slightly and swept away the thick snow scattered on the altar, revealing the ancient divine symbols on it.
[Those who come with the silver spoon can open the door to the kingdom of God]
"Unfortunately, that's it!"
However, after seeing this altar, [Silver Eye] Einstein seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I have tolerated you for a long time. The 'key' is the top secret of the Olivendi family, so please stay here forever!"
At the same time, the surrounding world quietly and silently turned into pure white, like a sketch line drawing with the color faded.
That is one of the Olivendi family's treasures, a special limit-breaking domain-class wonder called 'Winter of Indulgence', which contains the power to freeze and solidify even time, space, and rules.
Even a ninth-order extreme strongman would be frozen for a short time if caught off guard. Only those with the bloodline of the Wind Crystal Bird could move freely in the field and mobilize its power to amplify their own attacks. Einstein brought it out as his trump card for this trip.
