Chapter 1175 I Have Been Waiting for You for a Long Time
Chapter 1176 I've been waiting for you for a long time
According to Ivy and Leo, although their group has arrived at the Hidden Land, they landed at the edge of the Hidden Land.
It is impossible to travel from the edge to the core area in one or two days. Even if you fly all the way, it will probably take a month.
If Li Ge was alone, even if he used high-speed movement all the way, it would probably take several days.
Fortunately, under the leadership of Ivy and Leo, this time was saved directly.
It took them only about an hour to fly, and then they arrived at a city.
The scale of this city is not small. It is obviously a city located in the edge, but it is quite prosperous. Even if it is not as good as the capitals of many countries that Li Ge has seen before, it is not much worse.
Because there is no dispute or war in the Hidden Land, it has always been a peaceful relationship. The residents of the Hidden Land, who have no internal friction, have devoted themselves to the construction of the Hidden Land. Not only have they created such a magical landscape in the outside world, but the cities where people live have also been built very prosperously.
With the inheritance from ancient magic civilization, the magic technology of the hidden world is far superior to that of the outside world. Therefore, it has long been able to solve the resource problem with various magic technologies. Whether it is the living environment or living conditions, it is almost the best.
Therefore, in the hidden world, there are basically no suffering and poor people. To some extent, it is indeed an ideal place.
Under such circumstances, Ivy and Leo brought everyone to the temple branch of this city.
"The temple has branches in each city, responsible for the management and maintenance of the city."
Ivy told Li Ge.
"And in each branch of the temple, there is a teleportation magic array that directly transmits to the headquarters."
The purpose of this trip is to use the teleportation magic array in the temple branch of this city to go directly to the headquarters of the temple.
After learning about this, Li Ge also thought about it.
"It seems that the magic technology of the hidden world is more advanced than I thought."
You know, in the source world where magic technology is also extremely advanced, the teleportation magic array is basically only set up for ultra-long-distance transmission, and has not reached the level of popularization among the people.
Otherwise, when Li Ge was planning to go to Mistgo, the Kaledohat Empire would not have directly dispatched a floating magic warship and spent several days to send him there.
On the other hand, although the Hidden World has not yet been popularized among the people, as the only administrator of the Hidden World, the Temple can set up teleportation magic arrays in the headquarters and branches in various cities. From this point of view, it has surpassed the Source World.
After all, this means that people from the Temple can instantly reach any city in the Hidden World through the teleportation magic array. This convenient way of moving cannot be compared even with floating magic warships.
Thinking this way, Li Ge actually didn't know that the reason why the Source World couldn't do this was not because they couldn't do it, but because the conditions did not allow it.
Since it is already possible to set up a super-long-distance teleportation magic array, the difficulty of setting up a short-distance teleportation magic array will naturally be lower, not higher.
But unlike this world, there is another opposite world on the Source side - the Abyss.
In order to prevent the invasion and persecution of the Abyss, the three holy swords have long blocked the plane, making the passage between the source and the abyss extremely difficult.
In addition to the special structure of the front and back of the world, the spatial stability of the source is actually much higher than that of the Akasha continent.
In view of this, the difficulty of teleportation in the source is actually much higher than that of the Akasha continent.
If it is just the use of space magic in general, it will not be too much of a hindrance, but for semi-permanent projects such as setting up teleportation magic arrays, the difficulty will increase sharply.
One is to open a temporary channel to squeeze through, and the other is to arrange this channel for a long time. Apart from anything else, the required procedures will become much more complicated.
Unless it is like the Abyss, through magic rituals such as blood sacrifice, it costs a lot to shorten and promote the completion of the project. Otherwise, it is not impossible to set up a teleportation magic array in the source world, but it is a foolish dream to popularize it and use it on weekdays.
Therefore, the existing teleportation magic arrays in the Source World are basically very expensive, and the cost of opening them each time is also very high.
For example, when Liger teleported from the dwarf settlement to the other side of the Nanilga Wall last time, that teleportation consumed at least half of the magic power in a mana orb.
In other words, once the teleportation magic array is opened, it only takes one round trip, and a precious mana orb can basically be declared gone.
And how precious the mana orb is, you can see it from Alaye's drooling and almost losing his mind.
Even the scabbards of holy swords such as Marfa and Moslo are made of mana metal. Mana orbs are only born in large mana metal mines, and only one is produced every hundreds of years. They are the crystallization of the purest magic power in the mana metal mines, and are countless times more valuable than ordinary mana metal.
Even a mana bead the size of a fingernail contains more magic power than tens of tons of mana metal, and its value is as high as millions of gold coins, so that the mana bead inlaid on the top of the holy sword hilt is only the size of a glass bead.
Therefore, mana beads are one of the top magic materials in the source world.
The mana bead that Li Ge got before was about the size of a baby's fist.
The teleportation magic array in the dwarf settlement is inlaid with a mana bead the size of an adult's fist.
Such a large mana bead can only provide three teleportation magic arrays in the end.
After three times, this mana bead is useless.
It can be seen from this that it is very difficult to popularize the teleportation magic array in the source world.
Unless it is really a critical moment, otherwise, even if the teleportation magic array is set up, there are very few opportunities to use it.
There is no such trouble on the Akashian continent.
Although the super-large teleportation magic array across different spaces is also rarely used, and the cost of each use is also very high, the cost of teleportation between cities is much smaller.
So, after Ivy and Leo showed a token to the head of the temple branch, the head of the temple branch immediately activated the teleportation magic array and sent Li Ge and his party to the core area of the hidden world.
Or... they were sent directly to the headquarters of the temple.
After all, the teleportation array is set up in the temple headquarters and the temple branches in various cities. With this teleportation, Li Ge and others naturally arrived at the destination directly.
…………
"Zheng——"
Accompanied by a burst of light, Li Ge and others only felt a flash of white light in the world in front of them.
When the white light dissipated and the vision was restored, the world in front of them had changed.
They were no longer in the original temple branch, but came to a hall they had never seen before.
This hall is very vast, covering a large area, but the decoration is extremely simple. It is neither magnificent nor extravagant, but for some reason, the air is filled with a solemn, solemn and peaceful atmosphere.
There is only one platform in the hall.
On the platform, Li Ge and his party appeared here, stepping on the teleportation magic circle that has not completely dimmed.
But although this place is vast and spacious, it is not empty at all.
Because, under the platform, there are already many people standing.
"————"
When Li Ge and his party appeared on the platform, countless people under the platform immediately turned their eyes at the same time and focused on them.
They were neatly arranged, with a group of people wearing noble robes standing in the front, a group of people dressed like clergy standing in the middle, and a large group of fully armed knights wearing standard pure white full body armor, with golden cloaks on their backs and cross swords on their waists standing at the end.
When these people focused their eyes on the high platform and cast them on Lige and others, a terrible pressure suddenly fell.
Suddenly, the faces of several people in the crowd changed.
"Master!"
Lilith took action first. Without saying a word, she flashed in front of Lige. While protecting Lige behind her, her eyes began to turn red, becoming as ferocious and dangerous as a beast.
"…………!?"
Liz almost drew the sword of Moslo, which made the hand of Yuloaili holding the shadow sword beside her unconsciously tighten slightly.
"What?"
Even Ivy and Leo did not expect that the first thing they saw after returning was such a scene, and they were shocked one after another.
"Don't be nervous."
Only Lige, holding Lilith's shoulder and holding Liz's hand, shook his head and spoke calmly.
"Take a closer look, they don't exude hostility and malice."
Indeed.
Under the platform, the people who were neatly lined up gave off an amazing pressure, but there was no hostility or malice in their eyes, they were just looking at this side very seriously.
If you look carefully, you will find that among these people, the people in the front row wearing noble robes, they can faintly see excitement in their eyes.
If you look more carefully, you can also find that these people's eyes first swept over all the people in Lige's group, and then stopped at Liz who was holding a golden sword in her arms.
In other words, it can be confirmed that the excitement in their eyes is basically directed at Liz.
"Priests!"
Ivy shouted out the honorifics of those people reflexively.
Yes.
These people wearing noble robes are the priests with the highest status in the temple.
Lige's eyes are basically focused on these people.
Because the aura and magic power emanating from these priests are the most powerful.
"Is this the priest of the temple?"
Lige had only one feeling in his heart.
That is, it is well-deserved.
The aura and magic power of any of these priests in front of me are stronger than those of Ivy and Leo.
They are even more powerful than ordinary sword masters.
In the Source World, these so-called priests are all at least amber level, comparable to level 8, and are as powerful as the bishops in the Holy Sword Church.
If placed in the Kingdom of Jinas, then, except for Redson Elieman, who is known as the strongest sword saint, and Froen Borlei, the leader of the Kingdom Knights who is second only to him, none of the other sword saints can match the group of people in front of them.
And at this moment, Lige saw a dozen of such people.
Even in the ancient magic civilization, the temple priests are people of high status, and their abilities can be seen from this.
Not long after, this group of priests came out together.
They came to Liz, and suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Liz.
"All the priests, with the temple people, welcome your highness back!"
A priest in the middle bowed his head and spoke with an extremely respectful voice and attitude.
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
All the people present knelt down in unison, bowed their heads, saluted, and shouted with excitement as if they could break through the ceiling of the hall.
"Ah? Ah?"
Liz stood there, accepting the worship and welcome of everyone in the audience, but she was at a loss, looking flustered.
Obviously, this huge scene scared the little princess.
Especially when Ivy and Leo both reacted, knelt on one knee on the spot and joined the group, the little princess panicked even more.
Lilith was stunned by this, while Yuloaili silently let go of the shadow sword in her hand, looking at this scene, and looking at Liz who looked at a loss, her eyes became incomparably gentle for some reason.
"Do they know we will arrive at this time?"
Only Liger stood there calmly, thinking about such insignificant things in his heart.
He was sure that Ivy and Leo had not used any special contact methods to inform the people in the temple in advance that they would arrive at this time.
But when they arrived here, these people had already lined up neatly, recognized the identity of the little princess, and excitedly greeted her at the first time.
"So... is this another prophecy?"
Li Ge could only think of this possibility.
Then, a voice responded to him.
"No, I just felt that there was an abnormal fluctuation in the space of the hidden world in advance, and knew that there were outsiders coming here, and guessed that it was you."
A figure appeared silently in front of Li Ge and others.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The other party said so, and was still smiling.
"High Priest!"
Ivy and Leo opened their eyes and shouted at the same time.
The highest authority in this world appeared here.
