Chapter 1037: st frances
Next, Panda chatted with this guy named "Snape" for a long time.
Although this guy doesn't know potions, he is at least very knowledgeable—no, it should be said to be well-informed. He has a very good understanding of the City of Hope and the surrounding areas. He is a cheerful and talkative person, and with the tip from the panda, he continued to talk for more than two hours.
In the past two hours, Heyin also contacted Panda through private chat, and told him a lot of information about the "Wizard World" one by one.
After more than two hours, the panda knew a lot about the world and the situation around the City of Hope.
Of course, it is not enough to know everything, but at the very least, it is enough to walk the rivers and lakes.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, the panda left the hotel and left the city without looking for the hotel.
In the wizarding world, once the mortal lord has something rare, he will most likely dedicate it to the wizard. Since there are wizards stationed near the City of Hope, whether the local lord discovers the strange black stone that seals Aaron, or has clues about it, it is impossible to hide from the wizard.
Therefore, instead of wasting time negotiating with the lord, it is better to go directly to the wizard on the St. Francis Mountain.
The city gate guards would not stop people from leaving. He easily left the city and walked towards the mountainous area to the south.
At first, the panda didn't walk fast. But when he was far away from the crowd and turned back to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, he made smoke under his feet, turned into a gust of wind, and flew towards the distant mountain peak.
From the City of Hope to Mount St. Francis, ordinary people need to walk all day from morning to night, only to rest for a while at noon. It took less than half an hour for the panda to see the manor at the foot of the mountain.
St. Francis Manor is named after Mount St. Francis, where a team of knights and a large number of soldiers are stationed. Except during the annual enrollment period, mortals are strictly prohibited from approaching without authorization. Otherwise, kill without mercy.
The panda stopped two or three miles away from the manor and looked at the manor from a distance.
This manor is completely different from ordinary aristocratic manors. It has neither a garden nor a square. It is just a row of large and small houses and a training ground, plus the row of horses and trenches outside the manor, no matter how you look at it. It is like a place for leisure and entertainment, but like a military camp built on a mountain.
Moreover, the scale of this barracks is also very large. If you want to go around the barracks and go up the mountain, you can only climb along the rugged hillside, which is so difficult that it is despairing.
The same mountain, climbing along different roads, often has great differences in difficulty. For example, the famous Mount Everest, if you go up the south slope, many laymen can reach the top with the help of local residents; but if you go up the north slope, only professional mountaineers can do it; as for the most dangerous The Northwest Slope... Anyway, in the information Panda has read, it seems that no one has ever climbed up from there.
The same is true of Mount St. Francis. The ready-made roads and the easier-to-climb slopes are blocked by the barracks. The remaining rough and dangerous slopes, whoever has the ability, can climb.
In fact, according to Snape, the restaurant boy, the wizard on Mount St. Francis once said that if anyone could actually climb the rough slopes to the top, it would give them a chance to change their fate.
But...at least as far as Snape knew, after so many years, no one had successfully climbed the top of the mountain by this method and changed his destiny.
Of course Panda doesn't need to change his destiny, but he intends to try this way.
From the road to the mountains, it is inevitable to deal with the knights and soldiers stationed in the barracks. Although he wasn't afraid of those people, he didn't think it was necessary.
For a legendary paladin of more than 70 levels, if they want to fight, they will also fight those "legendary wizards" of level 50 or 60. It's a bit embarrassing to bully such a group of guys who are no more than level 30.
Of course, another reason was that he didn't see much evil over the barracks.
In fact, this is the key. If he sees the heavy evil aura floating above the barracks, his thoughts will definitely be different.
Panda made up his mind, turned a corner, bypassed the barracks, and came to a steep mountain far away from the barracks.
Looking up from here, you can see more than a section of cliffs that are close to ninety degrees. If you want to climb up the mountain from here, you don't have any Spider-Man skills, I'm afraid it won't work.
Of course he won't spray spider silk to climb the building, but... who stipulated that climbing must be done by "climbing"?
After taking a few steps back, the panda took a deep breath, then stepped forward and charged towards the hillside.
His footsteps were extremely fast, and he rushed up the hillside in a blink of an eye. Surprisingly, when he came to the cliff, not only did he not stop, but he lifted his leg and walked up the cliff sideways!
Looking closely, his feet were deeply sunk into the stone wall. The solid rock was like ooze, leaving footprints one by one as he advanced.
St. Francis Mountain has stood majestically for many years, and the hardness of the rock on the mountain needs to be said. Drilling holes in such rocks is no easy task.
In fact, the number of mortals who have attempted to climb the mountain has been numerous over the years, ever since the sorcerer at the top of the mountain set the rule that "climb up the mountain and you have the chance to change your destiny." On the rocks at the foot of the mountain, there are many chisel marks left in many places.
But as you move up, there are fewer and fewer such traces. At a height of about 100 meters, it has completely disappeared.
It is definitely not something that one or two people can do to forcibly dig a "road" for climbing on a steep mountain. Even if the lord mobilized thousands of people to work hard every day, it would take a long time to complete the work.
Moreover, as the excavation height becomes higher and higher, the difficulty and risk of excavation are also increasing. Without enough manpower, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the strength of one family to complete such a miraculous undertaking.
Just like the plank roads among the cliffs in many mountainous areas, it looks like a narrow one, but I don’t know how much human and material resources are behind it, and I don’t know how many lives are filled in!
This road, which seems promising at first glance, has never worked.
But "no way" is only for mortals. For pandas, a solid rock wall is just an inferior stepping stone that can be broken with one foot. Walking up the mountain sideways, the biggest difficulty for him is not that he may be out of strength, but that the sudden change of perspective makes him a little uncomfortable.
That's all.
With this method alone, he really climbed the mountains as if walking on the ground, and even the strange peaks and cliffs could not stop him from moving forward.
If other passers-by saw this scene, they would probably laugh, and then pat the table and shout "Yoyo" or something. However, there is only Panda alone, and there is no audience.
Therefore, it also saves him the time to ridicule the phrase "basic exercises are all sitting on the table".
In the dark night, the sound of the panda stepping on the rock was blown away by the night wind, and did not reach the distant military camp. So he unknowingly climbed the steep mountain in one breath and came to the big platform at the top of the mountain.
