Chapter 135 Next Stage Pass
Sevilla's words attracted everyone's attention.
The one who was most concerned was Brian.
He stopped shoveling snow and pricked up his ears, not daring to miss any details.
Scarlett's lip was injured? Could it be that she and Mo Ting were in a different time and space...
Didn't he perform well enough?
Scarlett had a headache and didn't want to respond to everyone's inquiring gazes. Adhering to the principle of avoiding whenever possible, she pulled Sevilla's arm and said, "Sevilla, open your domain. I want to go to your domain to rest."
"good."
Sylvia never refused her requests.
A flash of blue light.
Scarlett had some space to herself.
But this space didn't last long. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Mo Ting rushed in. He looked at her coldly, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Get out. Something's wrong."
The official tone calmed Scarlett's restless heart a lot. She said "Oh" and followed him out.
Nine people sat together.
Mo Ting opened his palm, revealing a piece of parchment. He said coldly, "This fell from that giant."
Riley picked up the parchment, unfolded it, and read the words on it: "The city is sealed by ice and snow."
"What does this mean?" Scarlett asked curiously.
Riley said, "Maybe it's a hint from the desolate planet."
"Hint?" Chi Ye raised his eyebrows and fixed his eyes on the parchment, trying to understand those four words.
Holst said, "In order to strengthen everyone's competitive spirit in the resource competition, each barren planet will be equipped with a certain number of indicator characters. After defeating them, a competition prompt will appear."
"You mean the giant is a guiding figure?" Scarlett asked him.
"Maybe." Holst didn't say anything definite.
"So, this is a blessing in disguise for us?" Ashley smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.
The image of Scarlett frowning and dazed flashed through Holst's mind. He smiled and nodded, agreeing with this statement, "Yes."
Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Scarlett.
The tension on Scarlett's face faded a little, just like his.
"That's not right."
Chiye recalled the conversation during the fight and asked, "Didn't you say he was an orc?"
Chiye had participated in other competitions and knew that the commanding figures generally did not use orcs, but instead used 10D technology to copy similar orcs and put them into the game, so as to control the death rate of the game.
"Orcs?"
Scarlett's eyes widened slightly, and she asked in surprise, "He's so tall, and he's actually an orc? What's his beast form? A giant beast?"
Scarlett couldn't imagine it.
Her beast form is an eight-meter-long dragon. Even so, her human form's height and weight are normal. Unlike that giant, she is completely beyond the range of a normal person.
Dzeko said, "He is indeed an orc."
Scarlett looked at him.
At the same time, Mo Ting also looked at Scarlett, curled the corners of his mouth, and sneered contemptuously in his heart.
Zheke explained, "The mark between his eyebrows is from surgery. This procedure is called a prefrontal lobotomy. After this surgery, the orc's spiritual consciousness and brain stem disappear, leaving them demented, without feeling or ability to think, like a walking corpse. Then, their bodies expand infinitely, their organs squeezing each other until their skin can no longer support them and they explode and die."
"This process will take about a hundred years."
Scarlett smacked her lips and said, "So cruel?"
Riley said, "Your Highness, lobotomy is a form of punishment in the Oranrosa Empire. It's only used against some extreme orcs. Compared to their crimes, it's not considered cruel."
Scarlett nodded as if she understood, but said nothing more.
Holst said, "Although the giants appear to be idiots, they possess a fighting spirit. Coupled with their explosive physical strength and indifference to mental power, they are formidable opponents. Using them as inspirational characters is also reasonable."
Dzeko: "Indeed, the resource competition does not care about the life and death of the participants..."
Brian glanced at Sevilla, tugged at his sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you understand?"
Brian is the youngest son of the Emperor of Casinia. His father is extremely favored, and because of the emperor's love for his father, he is also deeply loved by the emperor.
I have never experienced any setbacks and have always followed my own will since I was young.
He and Scarlett had been married for only a year, and had spent most of their time arguing and fighting. He didn't know much about the history and rules of the Oranrosa Empire.
He could not quite understand what Holst and the others were saying.
He thought that Sevilla was just like him, wanting to find comfort and appear less stupid.
Sevilla nodded and said, "I understand."
"Do you understand?" Brian questioned.
Sylvia looked him in the eyes. "I understand a little bit. The city sealed in ice and snow refers to the barren planet B095. It's an icy world there, even colder than here, with an average temperature between -120°C and -240°C. Water turns to ice, and breath turns to frost. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, almost 100°C."
Brian was stunned when he heard Sevilla's clear and detailed explanation. He asked in astonishment, "How did you know?"
Recalling the past, Sevilla's face turned slightly pale. He paused for a few seconds before saying, "I grew up there."
The voices of the two people talking were not quiet.
When Sevilla asked which planet the "Ice and Snow City" specifically referred to, the others had stopped talking and listened to him attentively.
When they heard him say "I grew up there", everyone's eyes were stunned.
Sevilla was a prince, but he grew up on a barren planet. This statement sounded absurd no matter how you looked at it.
The Wasteland Planet is a barren land used to exile and punish orcs.
Even the lowest-ranking civilians live in an environment that is hundreds of times better than that on the barren planet.
How did Sevilla grow up there?
Holst, Riley, Dzeko and Mo Ting looked at each other alertly.
As far as they knew, the prince sent by the Emperor of Alga for marriage was the most favored on their planet, just like Brian.
Chiye and Sevilla have a good relationship, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Ashley patted his shoulder comfortingly.
Brian's throat tightened, and he didn't know what to say.
A moment.
Scarlett said, "Sevilla."
She shook Sylvia's hand and said gently, "Can you tell me anything else about the barren planet B095? Your knowledge is helpful to everyone, and it's a good opportunity for us to learn more. Maybe it will be the next planet we visit, so we should be well prepared in advance."
Sevilla smiled, the solemnity between his brows melting like frost, and said, "Okay."
He narrated, "Over a hundred years ago, the barren planet B095 was a healthy one, inhabited by many orcs. Later, a group of orcs capable of controlling ice and snow invaded, killed all the native inhabitants, and occupied B095. B095 originally belonged to my home planet, Alga. When the Queen Mother learned of this, she sent an army to suppress the invasion, captured the invaders, and brought them to justice."
"Unfortunately, many of them slipped through the net, using ice and snow as cover to evade capture. Seeing their own people executed, they gave up all hope of survival. At the cost of their own lives, they activated their spiritual power and buried the entire planet in ice, perishing together. From then on, Planet B095 became a desolate planet, the ice and snow never melting, only accumulating deeper and deeper, swallowing up entire cities."
"No wonder it's called 'Ice and Snow City'."
Riley looked at the parchment in his hand and smiled.
As soon as the words fell.
The parchment suddenly lit up, and the words on it flashed one by one. Then, the light jumped out and turned into a portal, standing in front of everyone.
"What is this?" Chi Ye asked in surprise.
Scarlett said silently: "If I'm not mistaken, it might be a portal."
Riley looked at the parchment in his hand again. The writing on it had disappeared, and new ideas came to his mind.
Holst's eyes lit up and he said, "This might not be a hint for the competition, but a ticket to the next stage."
"There is such a thing?" Ashley was constantly surprised and became happier and happier.
He and Scarlett were so lucky.
Dzeko stood in front of the door. "Yes, and there is only one in each stage."
The portal will not be fake.
It will only appear after you have collected all the clearance ores and verified them all, or used a clearance ticket.
It’s just that what kind of world is on the other side remains to be confirmed.
Mo Ting rubbed his wrist, stood up, and was eager to try.
Scarlett displayed the clearance ore she had painstakingly collected. "Then wouldn't our search have been in vain?"
Riley smiled and said, "A lot of life is spent doing useless work. Your Highness should get used to it."
Scarlett pursed her lips, put the ore back into the space, spread her hands, and made a helpless expression, "Okay, Your Highness, I'm used to it."
Zheke stepped into the portal and said, "I'll go in and take a look first."
Not long after, Dzeko returned with a thick layer of snow on his hair. His stern features showed a rare hint of a crack. He exhaled a breath of white air and said, "It's so cold."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
…
…
There's a new world on the other side of the door.
This is also their next test.
As for whether it is the barren planet B095.
unknown.
