“So, the castellan wants to test our bodies through this. If we don’t meet the requirements, we won’t be able to obtain the position of the city’s entrance. Moreover, the number of powerful people is very few. If we can’t reach this place, then everything will make sense!”
Godfrey happily voiced out his own deduction. He looked excitedly at the smiling old man, wanting to be praised.
“No, no, no…”
The old man shook his head in disappointment.
“Ai, that’s not right. However, you’re right about a few of them!”
The old man nodded and praised Godfrey’s deduction.
“Indeed, after entering Lorna, the spirit of the person entering must be tested. They must be sincere enough and have the same perseverance. Therefore, to come to the land of Everwinter, a long journey will dissuade a large number of people who want to immigrate. At the same time, the natural moat of the land of Everwinter, the terrifying gravity of that horrifying natural moat, is another test of the ability of the test subject. If one doesn’t have powerful strength, one can not settle down in Lorna!”
The old man stopped smiling and said seriously.
“However, these are all secondary conditions.”
“Oh?”
The old man coughed, sat down and said loudly.
“The city lord’s real consideration is that only in the land of Everwinter can there be gemstones that can open the entrance to Lorna!”
The old man said seriously.
“The name of that gemstone is called the resplendent gemstone!”
“Only by obtaining your own resplendent gemstone can you have the qualifications to open the entrance to Lorna!”
“The existence of the resplendent gemstone is the very essence of this trial!”
The old man said loudly, the true trial.
“Hahaha!”
Joelson laughed loudly. As expected, it wasn’t that simple!
“Then, old sir, where do I get this resplendent gem?”
“Resplendent ore…”
The old sir laughed and did not answer. Instead, he picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea.
“Phew…”
The old sir exhaled a mouthful of hot air.
But Joelson was not anxious.
“Old sir?”
But Godfrey could not hold back the impatience in his heart and said anxiously.
Hearing Godfrey’s urging, the old man smiled and pointed at his feet.
“What does this mean?”
Godfrey asked in confusion.
“Could it be…”
Godfrey touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
“The bright gem is in your old man house, under your feet?”
Hearing Godfrey’s guess, the old man laughed loudly.
“Silly child, it’s not under my feet. Why would I hide that thing under my own house?”
“Well, that’s true…”
Godfrey nodded in agreement when he heard the old man’s words.
“Then… Where did you put that thing?”
The old man laughed and waved his hand, indicating for Godfrey to follow him.
“Come, come, come…”
The old man bent over and picked up a lamp beside the bonfire. He waved his hand and led Joelson and Godfrey out of the house.
“Come, come, take a look!”
The old man pushed open the door, and the blizzard outside immediately entered the house like a storm!
“Phew… What a big blizzard!”
Godfrey suddenly used his hand to cover his face so that he would not be embarrassed by the terrifying blizzard.
“The snow is getting heavier…”
Joelson looked at the dark sky and sighed.
“Is my father… done?”
Outside the house, Hades was waiting for Joelson respectfully. Joelson shook his head.
“No, not yet.”
Joelson shook his head.
“Well…”
Hades nodded and exhaled a breath of hot air.
“The snowstorm is getting heavier…”
Looking at the dark sky, Hades sighed with the same emotion.
“Yes, this snowstorm that is rich in magic energy must be resisted by magic energy. Ordinary clothes can’t resist the cold of this magic ice and snow. They can directly pierce into our souls and take away our heat. If we don’t use magic energy to resist, we won’t be able to last long in this world of ice and snow!”
Godfrey sighed.
“Come, young people, take a look!”
The old man stood outside the house with a smile on his face. The cold wind blew his white beard into the wind.
“Hiss…”
Looking at the world of ice and snow outside, Godfrey sighed.
“The bright gem is right there!”
The old man stretched out his hand and pointed. Joelson and Godfrey immediately followed the old man’s gaze and looked over.
“That’s…”
The two of them focused their eyes and saw what the old man was pointing at. They were instantly shocked!
“This… old man, you can’t be saying…”
Godfrey’s mouth was wide open. He looked at the world of ice and snow in shock.
“That’s right, that’s it!”
The old man nodded!
“Hiss hiss…”
Joelson also sucked in a breath of cold air.
Because the place that the old man was pointing at was actually under the ice bridge, that endless ice cliff!
The atmosphere instantly froze. Going down there to find the resplendent gemstone..
This was simply impossible!
“Don’t joke around, old sir. That resplendent gemstone is under there, who can find it… Hahaha…”
Godfrey laughed awkwardly, trying to ease the frozen atmosphere!
“I’m not joking!”
The old man said unhappily.
“This… This is impossible!”
Godfrey said anxiously.
“I can feel it over there. There is a no-fly spell over there. No living creature can use the power of magic to fly over there. Without flying, how can any living creature climb down from there… in such a terrible environment!”
Godfrey said with a little bit of a breakdown.
“Hehehe, young man, let me tell you, this old man can do anything but there’s one thing I won’t do and that’s lie!”
The old man’s mouth twitched as he said with confidence.
“The resplendent gem is under the bottomless abyss. If I lie to you, this old man will be struck by lightning every day!”
Hearing the old man’s words, Godfrey was like a deflated ball as he sat on the ground and said dejectedly.
“If that’s the case, we probably won’t be able to get the resplendent gem…”
“What kind of words is that, Godfrey? Such a small setback might be a big challenge for us but, to give up so easily, it’s too cowardly!”
Joelson reprimanded him unhappily.
“Aiya, aiya, that’s right. This young man is more reliable. You, how can you give up so easily?”
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
“No, old man, it’s easier said than done!”
