Chapter 157: Echo of Breaking Ice and Snow

She asked several questions at once.

As she spoke, she glanced at the Eye of God on Wang Hao's waist and said, "The snowy mountains are very dangerous. Even the holder of the Eye of God needs to be fully prepared."

Wang Hao always listens to advice.

After hearing what Sister Yuxia said, he immediately asked, "I see. Then, what preparations do I need to make?"

on the side,

When the scholar heard Wang Hao's words, his eyes lit up: "My friend, are you going to the snowy mountains? It just so happens that I have a full set of equipment. If you do me a favor, I will give it all to you."

Stevens was effectively banned from entering the snowy mountains, so he felt that it was pointless to leave his equipment behind.

It would be better to give it to others and use it to issue commissions.

As for why it was Wang Hao,

Because he also saw the Eye of God on Wang Hao's waist.

Everyone knows that the holder of the Eye of God may not be the best adventurer, but he is definitely not bad.

They have their own beliefs and are definitely excellent in some aspects.
So Stevens is willing to invest in Wang Hao.

After saying that, he was afraid that Wang Hao would despise him, so he added: "Don't worry, my equipment has hardly been used. It is very complete. There are also maps. Most of the equipment is new. There are only a few water bottles and other things. You can just replenish them in the camp."

Wang Hao hasn't spoken yet.
Sister Yuxia also said: "That's good. A full set of equipment will require a lot of Mora. Stevens won't need it anyway."

Snow mountain adventure equipment,

Including warm clothing, snow tents, thermos bottles, portable cookers, and special flame-resistant materials.

In general, it is a guarantee that you can persist in the snow mountain, as long as you have these things around you,

Even if you are trapped, these supplies and equipment can keep you going for a long time while waiting for rescue.

"Is that so? Well, what do you want me to do for you?" Wang Hao looked at Stevens and asked.

In fact, he had already guessed it, after all, Wang Hao had listened to the entire conversation.

It should be to help find the so-called ancient books and documents.

Sure enough, Stevens quickly said, "You are the holder of the Eye of God, so you should go deep into the snowy mountains. If you see any ancient books, can you bring them back for me? Or other antiques, I will take them and give you a good price."

Snow mountain equipment is an investment. If Wang Hao really brings something back, he will give extra money.

"Of course." Since he could spend less money, Wang Hao naturally would not refuse and readily agreed.

"That's great. Please follow me. My tent is over there."

Stevens pointed to a white tent not far away, and there were a lot of messy things around it.

It really looks like a place where overseas scholars would live.

After saying goodbye to Sister Yuxia, I followed Stevens to his tent.

Watch him grunt as he carried out a large backpack.

"Everything is organized. Look, this is a thermos bottle, this is a flare, the tent is rolled up on top, the portable boiler is hanging on the side, and the fuel is in the small backpack..."

Stevens is a very good person. He introduced the use of each equipment to Wang Hao very carefully.

Although Wang Hao thought that he might not be able to use it, he still listened very carefully.

These are the experiences summarized by adventurers, and there is no harm in learning them.

Moreover, the equipment may not be important, but the concept of why you should prepare these equipments is very important.

Adventure is not a game. Adventurers use these various equipments to tell those who come after them that they must be fully prepared, so as to ensure that they can return safely every time an adventure crisis comes.

Even the simplest explanation took more than half an hour.
Stevens then handed the equipment to Wang Hao.

Maybe his movement was a little too big and pulled his clothes, revealing half of a blue thing from his arms, which immediately attracted Wang Hao's attention.

Perhaps noticing Wang Hao's gaze, Stevens took out the things with a smile.

This is an ice-blue crown with very distinct corners and very obvious snow country characteristics.

(Why purple? Because the color he gave in the game is purple.)
"This is one of my current research projects. This is a sacred relic crown from an ancient civilization that I found on the snowy mountain."

Stevens introduced the ice-blue crown in his hand to Wang Hao.

His tone was a little excited, but Wang Hao could understand.
He had met many scholars, who were usually gentle and polite.

But once he talked about his research project, things became strange.
Some are excited, some are fanatical, and some become exceptionally calm.

There are all kinds of people, and people like Stevens are not uncommon.

"The ancient civilization of the Snow Mountain, Findenir?"

Wang Hao looked at the ice-blue ceremonial crown with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He also learned about this name from the bullet screen. In the current history books of Teyvat,

It only mentions that there was a prosperous civilization in the snowy mountains, but there is no specific information.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that scholars like Stevens emerge to study snow mountains.

If everyone knew about it, then it would lose its unique research value.

On the side, Stevens wanted to excitedly tell Wang Hao about his discovery, and said that the ancient civilization on the snowy mountain must have been very prosperous.
Because the casting process of this holy relic is extremely complicated, only a wealthy civilization would have the energy to carry out such a complex sacrificial craft.

That's what he said, and Wang Hao just listened.

As for the understanding of Snow Mountain Civilization, Wang Hao felt that the other party might not be as good as Danmu.

At least the comments on the barrage can give a general idea.

The so-called Findenir civilization should be the civilization at the end of the ritual era.

In that era, the Seven Rulings had not yet appeared.

Of course, it refers to the title of the Seven Rulings, not the seven rulers themselves.

At the end of the ritual era, something happened in Teyvat, causing the [gods] who once responded to the ritual civilization to no longer respond.
In order to find other solutions, civilization began to place its hopes on places other than God.

In the end, the disaster could not be stopped, catastrophe struck, and civilization perished.

This is probably the process.

Specifically, Wang Hao asked about the barrage, and the answers in the barrage were all different.

Anyway, everyone has their own opinion.

This is one of the rare questions that Wang Hao did not get an accurate answer to in the barrage.

But the more inaccurate it was, the more curious Wang Hao became.

I listened to Stevens talk for more than ten minutes about his research on snow mountain civilization.

It was not until a cold wind blew that Stevens realized that Wang Hao was not like those scholar friends and that he was a little too long-winded.

However, seeing that Wang Hao did not show any impatience at all, Stevens immediately felt that Wang Hao was a good person.

"I'm sorry, I haven't shared these studies in a long time, and it's a bit inappropriate," Stevens said embarrassedly.

Wang Hao shook his head, then looked at the ice crown: "Can I take a look?"

The holy relic is a special existence on the continent of Teyvat.

They condense the stories and spirit of the past.

If one can resonate with the holy relic, then the holder can receive the power of the holy relic.

But not everyone can use the relics.

If your heart is different from the 'legacy' represented by the holy relic, and you cannot understand the 'legacy' of the holy relic, then you naturally cannot gain its power.

Generally speaking, people with the same attribute or profession are more likely to understand the relics left by people with the same attribute or profession.

It can be said to be inheritance, or it can be said to be the brilliance of "desire".

Under the Order of Heaven, the former Order of Seven was redefined, which also led to a certain regularization of the inheritance of holy relics.

However, Wang Hao didn't know much about these things.

He simply wanted to try and see if he, as the Eye of God with water (fire) attributes, could resonate with the internal power of the Crown of Truth.

After hearing Wang Hao's words, Stevens did not hesitate.

Relics are not bound to someone, so they won't disappear once someone else uses them.

He handed the ceremonial crown over very generously.

Wang Hao reached out and took it.

A slightly cool feeling spread across his palms.

A little chilly, but not harmful.

With a thought, the Eye of God lit up slightly.
The Eye of God is the fragment of power that is separated from God when human desires reach their extreme.

It represents the strong desire of human beings.

It is most convenient to use it to sense the relics.

Of course, ordinary people can also resonate with the relics, but that requires conveying their own strong desires to the relics.

It is quite difficult and not as convenient as for the holder of God's Eye.

When Wang Hao felt the last thoughts in the crown,

A very vague memory emerged in his mind. This was the memory sealed by the ceremonial crown, and it finally echoed in Wang Hao's mind thousands of years later.

A hazy figure stood in front of the gate of the Snow Country, carrying the last tiny hope of everyone.

The girl put an ice-blue crown on his head and wished him to bring back the seeds of hope.

"Cross the frozen door and walk down the deep corridor"

"He broke off silver branches, bringing hope to the Snow Country"

After thousands of years, the girl's singing voice echoed in the wind and snow and reached Wang Hao's ears.

At this moment, he seemed to have become that warrior, carrying the contract of the mountain city and carrying a clear gaze. The vicissitudes of life warrior had never been afraid of the unknown outside the ice curtain.

But soon, sadness came over me.
Fail, fail, fail,

The Warriors may have succeeded, but they also failed.

Wang Hao didn’t know how he failed, but this crown only contained endless sadness.

The last scene in Li Guan's memory was a warrior covered in scars, listening to the hatred in the wind and snow. Although the endless resentment and hatred had been wiped out by the wind and snow,

But the ceremonial crown still recorded the warrior's unspeakable grief.

For a while.

Wang Hao felt a trace of power coming from the ceremonial crown.

He could feel that the power of the ice element, which had been forced out of the Eye of God by the water and fire elements, had become more active.

They seem to want to counterattack the Eye of God and occupy one of the sacred positions.

But unfortunately, the power brought by the ceremonial crown was too weak and it could not shake the foundation of the water and fire elements at all.

I calmed down a little bit,
Wang Hao severed the resonance with the Crown of Reason.

The memory of ice and snow began to blur, the power brought by the crown disappeared, and the ice element became silent again.

"How is it, was the resonance successful?" Stevens was even more excited than Wang Hao.

This is experimental data delivered to your doorstep.

How could he not be excited?

If we really want to invite a holder of the Eye of God to do the experiment, it will cost a lot of Mora.

"Success."

Wang Hao naturally would not hide it. He returned the ceremonial crown to the other party and nodded.

"Ah, how does that feel? Really, this is the first time I've seen someone resonate with a holy relic." Stevens asked excitedly.

"It's a vague memory. A warrior wanted to save his country, so he went to a distant place to seek hope. When he came back, the country had been destroyed."

Wang Hao was talking to Stevens while looking at the barrage.

Everyone in the barrage is talking about how the relics actually require resonance and cannot be used directly by putting them on.

They seem to be unable to see those memories.

Wang Hao's eyes flashed slightly. The barrage's observation of this world was very limited, although Wang Hao's blinking could not block their observation.

But closing their eyes for a long time or simply turning off the camera can cut off their sight.

Moreover, they seem to be unable to see things that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

For example, this time the memory echoed directly in Wang Hao’s mind, and the barrage could not be seen.

"Really? It's so important. As expected, I should find someone to resonate with about this holy relic."

Stevens took out a pen and paper and wrote down the story Wang Hao told carefully.

Then he looked at Wang Hao excitedly: "Originally, I should give you some compensation for this knowledge, but I don't have much cash now. When you come back from the snowy mountains, I will definitely give you a surprise."

Wang Hao smiled. He had no desire for the so-called surprise.

"Thank you, Stevens, but I have to leave first, otherwise it will be too late."

Wang Hao pointed to the sun above his head.

In other words, the snow has fallen from the mountains, and when you reach the snowy mountain area, it will be difficult to see the sun.

Heavy clouds will block out all sunlight.

Stevens nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, you go first, but when you come back, you must come to my place."

He was so enthusiastic that Wang Hao could only nod and agree.

Farewell to the enthusiastic scholars,
Wang Hao put on the snow mountain suit backpack and walked towards the snow mountain like an ordinary adventurer.

There are still many people on the road.
Seeing that Wang Hao was alone, no one came over to ask anything.

Although most adventurers who come to the snow mountains come in teams.

But there are also lone rangers.

When adventurers are out and about, they rarely initiate conversation unless the other person is in trouble.

Reducing any accidents other than the goal of the adventure is also one of the necessities of adventure.

This is also one of the reasons why an adventurer who frequently encounters accidents is not liked by the team members.

In reality, although there are adventurers who like excitement, most adventurers find it difficult to accept the dangers brought by accidents.

Especially when the danger is even difficult to control, people will be more repulsive to the source of the danger.

Walking on the road into the snowy mountains,
Wang Hao began to recall the feeling just now.

The power of the Crown of Truth made the ice element in his perception active.
This is because the Crown of Reason, which is referred to as [Echo of Breaking Ice and Stepping on Snow], has the power to amplify the ice element.

This also proves that in addition to water and fire, he can also control other elements.

Otherwise, this ice element enhancement should not take effect.

As mentioned before, the amplification of the holy relics is inherited and requires something to correspond to it.

The increase in elemental power needs to correspond to the elemental attributes.

Only users of ice element can be strengthened by ice element.

However, if Wang Hao wants to truly use the ice element, he may need to expand his Eye of God (authority).

With his current authority or level of status, he can only use two elemental forces.

"What do you think, if I could use a third element, what would I choose?"

Wang Hao, who had nothing to do while walking on the road, suddenly asked a question in the barrage.

[Need I say? It must be the grass element. You already have water and fire, and if you add the grass element, the blooming system will definitely take off.]

[Don't make trouble, the fierce blooming may blow you to death. ]

[No way. In the game, we cannot precisely control the elemental forces. Look at how Wang Hao has mastered the water and fire elements. It should be no problem for him to control a Fiery Bloom.]

[It's hard to say. Fierce Bloom uses the fire element to stimulate the grassland core, which is equivalent to detonating a bomb. No matter how finely you control it, you can't prevent the bomb from exploding on you.]

[No, according to that, the grass element is just right. Wang Hao also likes to throw spears anyway. He can learn to condense a spear with the water element, and combine it with grass and fire. This treasure will become a missile.]

[This... Grassland Nuclear Bloom Evaporative Steam Missile? ]

[It depends on which element reacts first, or it may be a control issue. The element control requirements should be very high.]

[I think the wind element is also good. Wang Hao currently lacks anti-aircraft means. If he masters the wind element, he might be able to learn to fly.]

[Then the lightning element will work too. Wang Hao just mentioned that he wanted to research and develop technology to promote productivity. The lightning element corresponds to electrical crystals, so maybe I can invent something. The reaction of lightning, water, and fire isn't bad either.]

[Ice, water, fire, you can freeze and melt by yourself. 】

[Is there no one speaking for the Rock type? ]

[Rock system... Hehe, do you think Wang Hao needs a crystal system? ]

[Why not? Since he can use the grassland nuclear flow missile, why can't he use the long-range escort missile? Once the missile is fired, all of his people will be shielded.]

[Is this also a fucking escort missile? ]

[…And it’s too idealistic, even more difficult than the grassland nuclear missile just now. ]

【…】

The discussion in the barrage was very intense, and Wang Hao was watching very carefully.

He didn't think about listening to a certain comment, but the ideas it provided did inspire him.

The vision of these comments is very high, and some of the ideas are very novel, and they are all worth trying.

Their imagination of elemental forces is usually a complex reaction of multiple elements.

On the continent of Teyvat, most of the holders of the Eye of God study a single elemental force.

Only a few teams of God's Eye holders will study the use of multiple elements.
Like a normal team, such as the one with Chongyun and Xingqiu before, the three of them only used simple freezing reactions to deal with monsters.

Most of the time, no deeper reactions are involved.

On the barrage side, what they talked about were very in-depth elemental reactions.

It seems like they often use multiple elements together.

Therefore, watching more barrages is very useful for Wang Hao to broaden his horizons.
