The Chinese New Year is always very busy.

Although Kurosawa has been able to eliminate many unnecessary social links due to his continuous improvement in status, he is still not exempt from vulgarity.

In just one week, Kurosawa first attended the Haitang City Alliance Spring Festival Dinner. Not only Haitang’s active elf masters were present, but many older retired players also came to the scene.

In addition to the players, there were also many media workers. The main content of the dinner was to express gratitude and commendation to personnel at all levels across the league over the past year.

That night, Kurosawa initially thought that he had nothing to do with him and was just going through the motions of being the mascot.

After all, no matter how strong he is, he has not participated in any competitions in Haitang City throughout the year, and his public appearances are also very few. It is understandable that he has no commendation awards.

But what surprised him was that not only did he win more than one award from the Municipal League.

They are the most popular player of the year, the best brand of the year, the best charity representative of the year, and the best player of the year.

He alone won four of the twelve awards, and many of the other eight were not individual awards, but team awards.

As a result, Kurosawa felt embarrassed when he came on stage. Fortunately, other players and fans didn't have many opinions.

After attending the Spring Festival dinner, Kurosawa followed the mayor to visit the No. 1 Middle School and the No. 2 Middle School the next day.

Among them, the time spent in No. 2 Middle School was obviously longer than that in No. 1 Middle School.

Thinking about it, it was also because No. 2 Middle School was Kurosawa's alma mater.

When he visited No. 2 Middle School, he found that the school had changed a lot from when he attended it.

A new indoor gymnasium with a swimming pool was built, the outdoor playground was updated, a new track and football field lawn were built, and a new campus was built to separate the junior high school and high school that were originally squeezed together.

During the visit, I continued to receive messages and junior students who spontaneously came to the school came to take photos and sign autographs.

Kurosawa complied with their requests one by one. Looking at these young and energetic young girls, he seemed to see himself in the past, and his heart was filled with an indescribable emotion.

Suddenly he could understand why when he was in school, there were always many famous alumni willing to return to school to visit or give lectures.

Even though he is already very young compared to those alumni, in just a few years, even Kurosawa himself has realized that his character has become much calmer and older, just like at the same time, he

The flow rate on his body has accelerated.

In addition to the above-mentioned activities, there are also many company visits and visits between relatives and friends.

When all this is over, the Spring Festival will pass quietly without even realizing it.

Office workers are returning to work one after another, students are catching up on their homework after winter vacation, and elf masters are also returning to work one after another or starting their own experience and training.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."

"Have you brought everything?"

"Take it with you and just send it here. I'm really leaving. If you have anything to do, call me. If you can't get through, just contact Uncle Qiu from the company. He will help handle it."

Kurosawa said goodbye to his parents outside the community and embarked on a journey to 2025.

"call out--"

Winter is not over yet.

Among the clouds high in the sky, a white dragon more than ten meters long spread its wings and soared.

Every time it flaps, the shimmering white wings bring about fluctuations like an air cannon, driving a huge amount of air to circulate, and the body also flies rapidly under the action of this powerful force.

Kurosawa sat on the back of the dragon, with attribute shields surrounding him to protect him from the cold wind.

Winter is not over yet and the temperature is still very low.

Kurosawa has seen several news about ice elves attacking towns in the past period, but Haitang and surrounding cities have been calm and have had a good year.

The cold wind howls.

The destination of this long-distance flight is still Jingcheng.

During the flight, Kurosawa discovered that the ice elves in the wild were obviously very active.

The influence of weather on the activity habits of elves is not small.

About halfway through the flight, Kurosawa was looking at the scenery as usual when riding a dragon, when suddenly his eyes stopped somewhere.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he focused on the far distance.

Where the sky and snow forest meet, a mountain peak stands there.

The snow-capped ice peaks are very dazzling under the winter sun.

There was nothing noteworthy about the snow-capped mountains. He estimated that there were hundreds of them when he came to Kurosawa. But what attracted his attention was that in his impression, there should not be such a towering mountain nearby.

His memory is not bad, and more importantly, just like the flight of migratory birds, between Haitang and Jingcheng, due to the relatively high flight frequency, Bailong's route is almost fixed.

He had some impressions of the nearby great plains after flying several times, but he had never seen such a towering mountain from here before.

really weird.

There are several points in the tentative analysis.

One is that Bailong changed his route, and this is not the plain he knew; the other is that his memory is disordered and he has forgotten it; the third is that he did not observe carefully when he came here in the past and made omissions; the last possibility

That’s right, the snow-capped mountains there are extraordinary.

Kurosawa patted the white dragon beneath him, signaling it to slow down its flight speed.

Although Bailong didn't quite understand, he slowly stopped.

Kurosawa closed his eyes, and his energy slowly sank into the depths of his mind.

His thoughts were flowing rapidly. It looked like he was closing his eyes and concentrating, but in fact he was quickly recalling the memories of the past few flights on this route in his mind.

Fragments of the past few flights kept jumping in Kurosawa's mind, like a movie being played in fast forward.

At a certain moment, Kurosawa's eyelids twitched twice.

He recalled the memory of coming here, and after comparing the scene in his mind with the scene in reality, a thoughtful expression appeared on Kurosawa's face.

Through memory recall, he eliminated the first three possibilities. The location was correct, and there was indeed no mountain there.

After the wrong guesses are eliminated, the only thing left is the correct answer.

Did a towering mountain peak grow in just over a month?

Kurosawa shook his head.

Let's go and take a look first.

He commanded the white dragon to change direction and fly towards the snow-capped mountains.

As the saying goes, Wangshan is like a horse, but the snow-capped mountains are not too close.

After a period of flying, the snowy peaks in his sight gradually enlarged and appeared in front of Kurosawa.

This mountain peak is indeed very high.

Kurosawa raised his head, and the mountain peaks had already jumped into the clouds.

He did not rush forward to check.

Instead, take out the ANBU terminal first and leave a location.

This is for safety reasons. If he loses contact for more than a month, ANBU can mobilize his location to come over for support.

After completing the positioning, he carefully directed the white dragon to fly towards the mountain peak.

As we get closer to the mountain peak, the temperature of the air begins to drop sharply.

“It’s so cold, so cold——”

Kurosawa began to shiver uncontrollably.

There seemed to be a compelling chill in the air.

It's not just low temperature in the physical sense, but a chill that penetrates the bone marrow, similar to the feeling of a magic attack.

He had no choice but to let Bailong land, otherwise he was worried that he would suffer from the cold before he even got close to the mountainside.

After landing at the foot of the mountain, although it was still very cold, the biting chill in the air was obviously gone.

He put away the white dragon and summoned Flora, Shining and Phoenix.

The former two are Kurosawa's strongest combat powers and are used for self-defense, while the latter is regarded as a warm baby by Kurosawa because of his warm body temperature.

Kurosawa began to observe the surrounding environment.

The snow forest near the foot of the mountain is pale, and there is knee-high snow under the feet.

It's difficult to walk, but fortunately he can fly.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

The sounds of beasts echoed faintly in the depths of the snow forest.

Kurosawa recognized the sound of a snow monkey.

In addition, there is a lot of other movement.

This place is not as peaceful and peaceful as it seems. On the contrary, due to the activity of ice elves, the undercurrent of danger has doubled.

After Kurosawa observed the snow forest, he looked up at the sky again.

He originally wanted to observe the peak at the foot of the mountain, but suddenly he noticed a change in the sky.

The originally clear sky suddenly turned gray and hazy, as if I couldn't bring myself to cheer up.

The environment around here is very strange.

He became more vigilant.

A mountain peak without legs cannot appear for no reason. It is obviously a supernatural phenomenon.

He hadn't thought about it originally, but for some reason, the snow-capped mountains exuded an inexplicable attraction that led him to come forward.

Floating and flying half a meter high, Kurosawa quickly wandered around the area.

Except for the high density of ice elves, he did not find any more abnormalities in a short period of time.

The moment he turned his head, a gray tower came into view.

what is that?

"Flora, did you notice that tall tower just now?" Kurosawa lowered his head and asked Flora.

Flora thought for a moment and shook her head decisively.

The Shining and the Phoenix in his arms also shook their heads.

It stands to reason that Kurosawa, who is proficient in perception, could not have failed to observe such a striking building during the long search process by the three elves.

Moreover, there is almost no obstruction near it.

Kurosawa didn't feel any unusual aura from above.

"Let's go over and take a look, but pay attention and be careful at all times."

He put away the phoenix used for heating.

With Flora and Shining guarding each other, they approached the Gray Tower.

Walking closer, the shape of the gray tower becomes clearer.

Its shape is a round tower, somewhat similar to the observatories used to observe the stars in the West. It is very tall, estimated to be sixty or seventy meters.

It is worth noting that the gray tower is different from ordinary buildings. Except for the entrance gate on the first floor, its surface is completely seamless without any gaps. It is like a complete whole and not made of building materials.

Kurosawa activated his perception, but the gray tower in front of him seemed to not exist.

He came to the nearly four-meter-high door and hesitated for a moment.

The moment his fingers touched the door, he suddenly turned around and looked around.

In Nuoda's environment, there were no living creatures except him and the two elves.

After confirming again, he pushed open the door on the first floor.

"Zhizhi——"

It seemed that no one had opened this door for a long time, and the air that blew in my face had a rotten smell.

Kurosawa did not walk in, but took a few steps back.

Not only to let the gas dissipate, but also to use this opportunity to observe the inside of the first floor of the round tower.

After opening the door, he still couldn't sense the gray tower, so he could only rely on naked eyes.

The inside of the first floor is very dark.

A dark passage leads straight into the depths.

"The size and area are not right." Kurosawa frowned.

The interior space is obviously much larger than what is observed from the outside.

Exactly how many times larger it is, we can’t draw a conclusion from the details we’ve seen so far.

Want to go in?

There was only the endless cold wind blowing around him, and no one could answer him.

However, the attraction emanating from the tower is even stronger.

This snow mountain and the surrounding environment may have been changed because of it.

Kurosawa's sixth sense slowly became active, and a sweet and spicy taste emerged in the depths of his mind.

Obviously, there are both crises and opportunities in the Gray Tower.

And its appearance is mostly accidental. The heavy snow this time contributed to its arrival. If it leaves this time, it may disappear without a trace next time it comes back.

After hesitating for a long time, Kurosawa finally decided to go inside to find out.

Flora and the shrunken Shining entered first, and then Kurosawa crossed the threshold.

After walking a few steps, there was the sound of a door closing behind me.

Very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, the door was completely closed.

At the same time, the passage became pitch black.

Kurosawa took out the flashlight and tried to illuminate it. He found that the flashlight could not be used, so he changed several flashlights in succession to eliminate the cause of the fault. It was only the influence of the gray tower itself.

Fortunately, lighting the spare torch with a match can still provide light.

The door behind him was completely closed. Kurosawa tried to push it open but failed. He tried hard but still failed.

Moreover, he could not use coordinate movement to return to the outside. The inside and outside of the tower seemed to be two completely different time and spaces.

He can only teleport within the tower, but it is very difficult.

The interior of the gray tower is wrapped in a strange and complicated position. Kurosawa's mental coordinates seem unable to achieve precise positioning. If the teleportation is completed in this state, the success rate of teleportation will not be too high, and the deviation cannot be controlled.

Facing the invalid space ability, Kurosawa did not panic too much. He had already thought about this possibility before he prepared to enter.

After all, the feeling of emptiness when using your sensory abilities is very unusual.

Generally speaking, the failure of his perception ability is most likely because there is some kind of blockade or barrier that prevents perception from penetrating in. However, when he senses the gray tower outside, he can only perceive an empty snow field.

At that time, he had some guesses in his mind.

Unable to push out the door or teleport back outdoors, Kurosawa simply focused his gaze on the end of the passage directly ahead.

Since you can't go out anyway, you can only go deep inside.

Flora entered Kurosawa's body and protected Kurosawa as an elf protection force.

Kurosawa and Shining, who entered the elemental body, moved forward cautiously.

After traveling a few meters.

Suddenly, all the hairs on Kurosawa's body suddenly stood up.

His steps stopped instantly.

"Bah!"

A ray of purple light shot down from the side of the wall, and the shield in front of Kurosawa quickly melted away without holding on for a moment.

Kurosawa took two steps back and looked at the wall with the light of the torch in his hand.

There is nothing unusual, it seems to be some kind of hidden mechanism.

The attack power is very high.

Kurosawa's defense is divided into several layers. The outermost layer is the shield of the protective skills, followed by the protective power on the body surface, and finally the physical strength itself.

Although the shield is not as good as the protection, the strength of the super elf's shield is still very terrifying, but it cannot hold a breath in front of this purple light.
