Chapter 851: Chapter 0848: Opening the Magic Gate (Second Update)
The ti moved into mid-November.
The potato plantation of the Potato Great Elf Kuchi had long been established. In addition to Liszt coaxing Kuchi to sprinkle many potato seedlings, the Knight Order also found many wild potatoes from the wilderness, all planted in the plantation. Over the following days, various Elf Cordyceps fell to the ground one by one as plantations were built successively.
With the Knight Order’s conquest of many large tribes, they had also rescued eight Elf Bugs and turned them over to Liszt for contracting. The planning for the plantations progressed quickly.
All the plantations were large in scale, but in reality, the plants inside were quite sparse.
Regardless, the Smoke Mission was successfully completed.
“Mission completed, reward for discovering new islands.”
...
The reward had been issued, but Liszt had not yet received the Adventure Fleet’s report. He could not be bothered by the Adventure Fleet’s report because a new mission had already been released.
“Mission: Ach has perfected all the detailed steps of the Magic Gate experint. The ti has co to witness a miracle. Behind every miracle is a foundation of countless drops of sweat. Please assist Ach in completing the Magic Gate experint. Reward: A new Elental Incarnation for Ach.”
“The Magic Gate experint is finally going to start…” Liszt wasn’t surprised at all. Ach often discussed the progress of the Magic Gate experint with him. He had a very clear grasp of it and was always ready to contribute his efforts alongside the Formless Dragon Bard.
Liszt pondered the reward for the Smoke Mission for a mont: “Ach’s new Elental Incarnation, what could it be? She already has mastery over the Water and Ice Elents; the target she has set for the third Elental Incarnation is the Earth Elent… It should be the Earth Elent, without any surprises.”
Swiftly,
He had already arrived at the Mage Tower and saw Ach, who was writing notes: “Ach, when do we start the Magic Gate experint?”
“Ach is still writing out the details of the Magic Gate experint. I will need your and Bard’s substantial cooperation when the ti cos. We should probably rehearse for about a week first, so let’s tentatively schedule the official experint to start a week from now.” There was plenty of fatigue on Ach’s face, and her eyes, unusually, were rimd with red.
She had barely slept in recent days because of the Magic Gate experint.
Liszt felt deep concern: “Since the theory has been completed, there is no need to hurry with the practical application. Once you’ve finished writing the experintal details, you should rest properly for a while. No more high-intensity work like this… Your health is more important than any magic, any experint, understand?”
Ach smiled sweetly: “Yes, Ach understands.”
He ruffled her azure hair and, for a mont, felt a surreal confusion, as if Ach were still that gentle, delicate Little Sea Monster, not the great Archmage revered by Magicians.
…
“Operation Details of Magic Gate Experint” was ultimately completed by Ach overnight.
After handing it to Liszt, Ach spent ti carefully explaining every detail to him, only to be forced by Liszt to go and rest.
Holding the notebook, Liszt leaned on the Formless Dragon Bard, reading ticulously.
The experint seed far-fetched, but the details were quite thorough—mainly about opening nodes between two material spaces and then connecting them by tearing through the Magic Web. The operation was complicated, but Bard’s capability was more than enough to accomplish it, to open two connecting Magic Gates.
As he familiarized himself with the operational details, the reward for the Smoke Mission finally arrived, though belatedly.
He finally received good news from the Adventure Fleet’s report; they had discovered an island so five hundred kiloters west of the Fla Islands.
After the combined exploration of three Adventure Fleets, they found it to be a new archipelago. Although the islands were not large, possibly even smaller than the Whirlpool Archipelago, their strategic location was quite good. Positioned on the route from the Fla Islands toward the mainland, it would substantially shorten the sailing distance.
“I command Captain Yevich to continue leading the Adventure Fleet sailing towards the Legendary Continent to open a navigation route for the Fla Islands and to thoroughly investigate the information along the coast of the mainland… Figure out the distance of the Fla Islands from the mainland, clarify which kingdom this part of the coastline belongs to.”
After a pause, Liszt added, “Pass the word to Yevich, when he reaches the coastline of the mainland, that will be the mont he is promoted to Earl.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” The twins Lucy and Ruth responded.
They perford excellently as operators, deserving the trust of Liszt. Shortly after learning from Ach, they each mastered common magic and advanced from being Magic Apprentices to beco ordinary Magicians. They were becoming increasingly qualified as assistants to Ach.
A week flew by in a flash.
With plenty of rest, Ach began to oversee the Magic Gate experint.
Liszt and Bard had morized the operating manual and knew every detail by heart. The setup was similar to the last node observation experint, with Ach setting up a large Magic Array. Two were needed, placed at the north and south ends of Whirlpool Mountain.
After the first Magic Array was activated, Liszt and Bard achieved the Unity of Man and Dragon and quickly used the Array’s power to break through to the strength of a mature Dragon, then forcefully opened the node at the material boundary.
Then they hurried to the second Magic Array and opened the node with the sa aggressive stance.
At this mont, the man and Dragon followed the predetermined steps of the experint, entering the world beyond the material through the node. In the Crystal White View, two adjacent nodes were especially clear.
“Bard, ti to work, construct a magic power channel between the nodes, complete the node traction, rip through the Magic Web, and create a real Space Passage!” Liszt thought clearly, without any delay, began directing Formless Dragon Bard to release Space Magic Power, using the Formless Dragon itself as a bridge to connect the two nodes.
Once the magic was connected, they could feel the mutual attraction between the two nodes.
“Let’s start!”
“Woo-ya!”
Bard spread its wings in a boiling passion, its claws reaching fiercely into the pitch-black void to grip the connected strands of space magic power, then flew forcefully outward. The strands of magic power were continuously pulled and drawn, bringing the two nodes together in the sa direction, creating ripples in the world beyond the material.
In the rippling area, the traces of the Magic Web could be faintly seen.
“Now is the ti!”
“Burst forth!”
Liszt keenly sensed the disturbance of the Magic Web, and man and Dragon erupted forcefully, pulling hard. The next mont, as if sothing broke in the void, the strands of space magic pulled open a tubular passage. This channel just so happened to pass through the Magic Web, piercing through its barrier.
However, unlike the Wormhole Space of the Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Matrix, this passage was not stable. As the Magic Web compressed continually, there were signs that it would soon collapse.
The two material nodes also began to beco unstable.
“Go, Bard, let’s test the fluidity of the passage!” Without wasting any ti, man and Dragon quickly flew into the newly ford passage.
To the left was the Magic Array at the south of Whirlpool Mountain, and to the right was the Magic Array at the north.
He chose to go left first. The Space Passage was brief, and in a blink of an eye, they passed through the fluctuating exit to the real material world—indeed, it was the entrance to the Magic Array at the south side of Whirlpool Mountain.
At that mont, the entrance flickered with a pale blue light. From any direction, it collapsed inward, forming a vortex-like portal. Liszt did not delay and charged back into the entrance and into the Space Passage. The passage was already showing cracks from the continuous squeezing of the Magic Web.
The man and Dragon did not dare to linger, passing through at top speed. They burst out from the other exit.
And they ca upon the Magic Array entrance at the north side of Whirlpool Mountain.
Right after they erged, the pale blue light at the entrance did not last long before it exploded violently, all light dissipated into invisibility, and the Magic Array also collapsed at that mont. Many precious magical materials dimd at that instant, the magic power exhausted, turning into waste.
But Liszt laughed, leaping down from the Formless Dragon’s back and guffawing: “Ach, the experint was a success, we’ve successfully opened the Magic Gate!”
In front of the Magic Array.
Ach’s eyes spun like whirlpools, as if she had seen all of Liszt’s two crossings through the Space Passage.
A smile rose on her lips: “Hmm!”
