Chapter 2128: Array
"Found it!" Rhine's eyes flashed with joy, and he strode to the golden "bird cage".
Through the metal railings, they could clearly see that the teleportation magic array was engraved on the ground inside.
Because the teleportation array was not in an activated state, it looked a little dim.
"Generally speaking, there is indeed a skeleton of the teleportation array." The tree spirit looked at the teleportation array and hesitated for a moment and said: "However, compared with other teleportation arrays I have seen, this skeleton is complete, but the flesh and blood feel... too full."
Angel also saw the teleportation array. Although he could not engrave, it was indeed a bit strange for the teleportation arrays he had seen.
There was a core of the teleportation array, but attached to the outside of the teleportation array, there were a lot of strange magic patterns engraved on it.
These magic patterns were densely packed, including independent magic patterns, deep hollowed-out three-dimensional magic patterns, and more abnormal magic patterns mixed into the teleportation array patterns. It was like multiple dense circuit boards overlapped together, very complicated.
Just as the tree spirit said, the "flesh and blood" is full to an unprecedented degree.
"Do you have a way to distinguish the effects of these non-teleportation array magic patterns?" The tree spirit turned to ask Angel.
Angel stared at the complex magic patterns, pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "I'm afraid not, there are many three-dimensional magic patterns deep under the ground. With my ability, it is difficult to distinguish the specific effects of these three-dimensional magic patterns without destroying the integrity."
Not to mention Angel who is only proficient in alchemy magic patterns, even if you call a specialized magic pattern sorcerer, it is estimated that it will be difficult to distinguish them.
"This level of complexity of the teleportation array has surpassed the current level of the magic pattern sorcerers in the southern region." Rhine, as the person with the most extensive experience, said after thinking: "It should be the magic pattern sorcerer recorded in the "Culori Chronicle"."
The tree spirit also nodded and sighed: "After all, it is a magic pattern sorcerer who has glimpsed the mysterious realm. It is indeed not easy to interpret it."
Angel: "Although it is impossible to determine the magic pattern effect on the teleportation array through interpretation; but as long as it is activated, it should be clear."
Rhine nodded: "Generally speaking, activating an unknown magic array is very risky. However, this is just a teleportation array. Even if it has fancy effects, it should not be too dangerous."
Because the teleportation array requires a very stable space, any external factors may cause the teleportation array to fail or even backfire, so generally speaking, the risk of activating the teleportation array is not great.
However, it is limited to "activating" the teleportation array. If it is on the way to teleport, then the risk is difficult to guarantee. The longer the distance of teleportation, the greater the risk. It is easy to encounter unstable space halfway and finally be forced to fall into the plane gap. This is also one of the reasons why apprentices need to be escorted by formal wizards when using the teleportation array.
"Let me activate the teleportation array." Rhine said, and looked at Angel: "Can you see any risks in this metal railing?"
Angel's eyes flashed a little, and the light disappeared after a while. He waved to Rhine and said: "This metal railing that protects the teleportation array, although there are also some magic patterns on it that cannot be recognized, this metal material has the effect of stabilizing space. I think it is used to prevent violent fluctuations in space. There should be no danger."
Rhine nodded. Since Angel said so, he was no longer worried. He walked to the door of the metal railing and gently pushed it inside.
Huahua
At the moment the door was pushed open, there was a crisp sound of metal collision. It was a bit like... the sound of wind chimes.
Rhine stopped and looked up, because the sound came from above.
However, it was covered by the dense nightmare light, and when it was impossible to use energy to explore, it was unclear what was going on.
"Let me do it." The speaker was Angel. After he finished speaking, his right eye flashed with green lines.
The domain field, which was originally quite spacious, was slowly shrunk by him. The compression of the horizontal range increased the vertical height.
With the extension of height, the top of the "bird cage" was finally revealed.
A hanging line with three round silver-white metal discs hanging from the top was slowly swinging in the air. The "rustling" sound made before was caused by the silver-white metal discs hitting the door.
"As long as the door is opened, it will hit it and it will definitely make a sound." The tree spirit looked up with doubts on his face: "However, as far as I know, this kind of door opening will usually trigger some kind of dangerous mechanism, but at present, it seems that there is no reaction. Even energy fluctuations have not been generated, as if it is just a 'doorbell'?"
"Since it is not a mechanism, its existence may be some kind of hint." After Rhine said this, he extended his mental power and observed the metal disc for a moment.
"The hanging wire is very ordinary, without any trigger mechanism. However, this metal disc can be taken down."
After the voice fell, Rhine controlled his mental power and took the metal disc down from the hanging wire.
Rhine observed the silver-white metal disc in his hand, but frowned: "Hey, how come there are magic patterns of the teleportation array on it?"
In addition to the magic patterns of the teleportation array, Rhine also saw many unfamiliar magic patterns, but he didn't know the specific effects.
Rhine simply handed the disc to Angel and let him identify it.
After taking the disc, Angel also observed it carefully. After a while, he said: "There are many magic patterns on it that are specially carved and cannot be identified. However, it is somewhat similar to the teleportation array on the ground. It should be some kind of linked teleportation array disc."
Linked teleportation array disc. Rhine is not unfamiliar with this concept.
This is a convenient teleportation array that can be carried with you, but it also has very large limitations. It emphasizes portability and sacrifices the room for free teleportation.
Using this teleportation array disc, you can only be fixed to the linked established teleportation array.
Rhine: "You mean, activating this teleportation array disk can teleport to the teleportation array in the cage?"
Angel nodded: "Yes."
"Is there a distance limit? Are there any other effects?"
"At present, I don't know how far the distance limit is. As for other effects, I don't know either."
After getting Angel's answer, Rhine pondered for a moment: "When I observed the hanging wire on the top just now, I found that the teleportation array disks hanging on it were at the same distance. But at the bottom, the hanging wire has an extra long section. If we follow the corresponding distance, there should be another array disk."
There should be four teleportation array disks in total, but there are only three teleportation array disks on it. This means that one teleportation array disk was taken away.
"I guess that array disk should be in Kuroli's hands." After saying this, the tree spirit showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "We have determined before that the owner of this relic must have a way to enter the relic without going through the main gate. Now it seems that it should be through the teleportation array disk... Thinking about it this way, isn't it possible that Kuroli could come back at any time?"
"It shouldn't be such a coincidence that he hasn't come back for hundreds of years. He came back just after we came in." Rhine said: "Ignore these for now. I will activate the teleportation array first to see if I can lock the location of the Xingchi Ruins."
Although Rhine did not think that there would be any dangerous mechanism in activating the teleportation array, just in case, he still spent precious spellcasting materials and cast a third-level spell for Angel and himself: the Light Sound Domain.
This is a pseudo-domain, a spell created by Rhine.
After being wrapped by the Light Sound Domain, Rhine stepped into the cage and began to activate the teleportation array.
The way Rhine chose to activate it was to input his own magic power. Compared with using magic crystal as kinetic energy, this method can better perceive the internal information of the teleportation array.
When each magic pattern of the magic array on the ground began to flash dimly, it meant that the teleportation array had been activated.
At the same time, Rhine also closed his eyes and perceived the information of the space from the activated teleportation array.
After a while, the halo of the magic array slowly extinguished, and Rhine opened his eyes.
Rhine did not leave the cage immediately, but stood on the teleportation array, holding the teleportation array disk taken from the hanging wire before, with a strange look of deep thought.
After a long time, Rhine came out at the call of the tree spirit.
"You stood in there for a long time, did you find anything?" The tree spirit asked curiously.
Rhine nodded: "There are indeed some discoveries. Let me start from the beginning."
"This teleportation array has only one teleportation exit. From the information I sensed, the teleportation exit is not far away. It should be the teleportation array in the Xingchi Ruins."
Angel: "Can this teleportation channel be closed?"
"Yes, the teleportation array here is the main array, which can dominate the channels on both sides." Rhine: "At present, I have closed this teleportation channel. Now there is no need to worry about creatures from the nightmare world being teleported here through the teleportation array."
Hearing this, Angel and the tree spirit breathed a sigh of relief.
Rhine paused and continued: "However, I found that the biggest function of this teleportation array is not the teleportation to the Xingchi Ruins. It is the interconnection with the teleportation array disk."
As Rhine spoke, he recalled his previous feelings.
When he activated the teleportation array, the first thing he sensed was naturally the teleportation exit of the Xingchi Ruins. Immediately afterwards, Rhine sensed three very obvious spatial connections.
These three spatial connections just corresponded to the teleportation array disk in Rhine's hand and the other two teleportation array disks on the hanging line.
Rhine could clearly sense the connection between the teleportation array and the teleportation array.
But this was not the most important thing. After these three spatial connections, Rhine vaguely sensed another spatial connection.
And this spatial connection was not so clear, and sometimes it was not there. Even the teleportation array could not locate it, but it really existed.
"You mean, this last spatial connection is the teleportation array in Kuroli's hand?!" The tree spirit said in astonishment.
Rhine nodded: "It should be right. Although the spatial connection is extremely weak, it gives me the same feeling as other teleportation arrays."
Rhine had no reason to lie, so the tree spirit immediately believed it: "Being able to sense Kuroli's teleportation array, doesn't it mean that he is very close to here?"
Rhine shook his head with a strange look on his face: "No, not close."
This was exactly the reason why Rhine was stunned for a long time before, because he could clearly feel that Kuroli was very far away from here, even across countless space and time distances!
Many years ago, Rhine went to the wizard world in the West Land and the North Territory. These two wizarding worlds are very far away from the Southern Territory. Even if a formal wizard takes the Road of the Void, it will probably take many years to arrive. He has a feeling that the space and time distance where Kuroli is even exceeds the distance between the Western Continent and the Northern Territory!
At such a long distance, the teleportation array can actually sense the information of the teleportation array disk! Even if it is very vague, or even unknown, at least there is some sense!
This sensing distance has exceeded Rhine's imagination.
Rhine's words made Angel and the tree spirit unbelievable, so they simply tried it themselves.
The truth of the matter is just as Rhine said. In the internal space time-distance sensing after activating the teleportation array, they seemed to have traveled through endless time and space, and sensed the last teleportation array disk at an extremely distant location.
"No wonder Kuroli can accurately lock the drifting ruins in the vast void." The tree spirit exclaimed: "Is this... the power of the mysterious alchemist?"
Beyond the distance of time and space, the location of the teleportation array can be accurately sensed. This is an ability that the magic pattern sorcerer of the southern region can never imagine.
"The world above the legend, whether it is alchemy, magic pattern, or other, is beyond our imagination. No wonder, the wizards who have advanced to legend have left one after another, because there is a more exciting world in the distance..." Rhine's eyes flashed with yearning.
But soon, Rhine's expression gathered and became slightly bitter. Although he knew that the legend was wonderful, he still didn't have the courage or the strength to move forward.
Although he didn't like what Monkey did, sometimes he envied Monkey's courage.
Rhine shook his head: "Speaking of which, since this teleportation array can sense such a distant teleportation array, how far will the effective distance of this teleportation array be? Can it cross the plane?"
Tree Spirit: "If it can be teleported across the plane, even if it is only the plane near the South Region, it is a strategic resource."
The tree spirit paused: "The only pity is that this teleportation array is set in the nightmare light. It is estimated that only Angel can use it unscrupulously at present."
Rhine also showed regret. Except for Angel, other people who use the teleportation array will basically die as long as they are teleported to this room and covered by the nightmare light.
Tree Spirit: "How about opening the teleportation array and sending the Nightmare Light back to the Star Pool Ruins?"
Rhine: "No! Although we cannot study the Nightmare Light for the time being, it is of great value and has a promoting effect on the creatures of the Nightmare World. It must not be teleported there."
Rhine even thought about how to snatch the Nightmare Light from the Star Pool Ruins, which might prevent the creatures of the Nightmare World from staying in the Star Pool Ruins for a long time.
So, how could the Nightmare Light be teleported back?
What's more, if it is really teleported there, the creatures of the Nightmare World will covet the Nightmare Light and they will definitely find it through the teleportation array, which will not be worth the loss.
The tree spirit spread his hands: "Then there is no other way. This place can only be used as a transit station for Angel."
As he spoke, the tree spirit threw a teleportation array disc to Angel: "Take one of these things. Although the longest teleportation distance has not been tested, the entire South Region is definitely covered. You can teleport back at any time from anywhere in the South Region in the future, and you can also avoid the material cost of opening a plane channel."
