Act 485. Baltic Halfplane
Sun, sand, sea.
As Captain Barnes had said, the next morning, the Dawn Tread arrived at the Baltic Half after passing through a slightly cramped stargate.
In fact, according to Reiner's estimation on the star map, with the speed of the Dawn Treader, it will not take a whole night to reach the Baltic half-plane, but that is calculated according to the shortest path, in fact, not all the stargates connected between the half-planes can accommodate a battleship like the Dawn Treader, and there are some half-plane passages in the middle that can only accommodate carriages side by side, and the Dawn Treader naturally needs to make a detour.
In any case, the journey was peaceful, and finally reached the Baltic half-plane.
It's still the height of summer, the sun is shining a golden sheen over the tumbling sea, and the same golden sand is washed by the waves, giving it a peaceful and tranquil scene.
The Dawn Tread swept over the ocean, and you could see many islands in the middle of the ocean, and even villages and docks on some of the larger islands, but these buildings had long since been emptied, and all the original half-plane residents had been evacuated, and the catastrophe of Elliot's half-plane was vividly visible, and people could no longer accept similar disasters repeating themselves.
Everyone knew that beneath the peaceful spectacle of the Baltic Half-Plane was a surging dark tide.
The Dawn Tread continued in the direction of the Great Hollow, but the high-ranking mages involved in the ruins investigation had already gathered near the bridge.
The investigation team was headed by Herman. Lord Pragues, a veritable legendary mage.
Along with the legendary mage is Isaris. Alberton & Lumia. Two Excellencies of Calvados.
As for the high-level mages, except for Eagles, who Reiner was familiar with. Field, as well as Broly of the Storm Council. Augustine, Wilder of Stargazers. Regens and others are all academic masters who have an important position in their respective fields.
This time the investigation team can be regarded as extremely luxurious, even if there are as many Sauron xenos as Elliot Halfplane from the Great Hollow, they can easily repel them.
This is naturally due to the fact that the Magic Association attaches great importance to the Great Void in the Baltic Half-Plane, not only because of the strange phenomena and mysterious alien drawings, but also because the Great Void can be regarded as one of the few changes that have appeared directly in the public eye in recent decades.
Coupled with the information provided by Reiner, the High Council attaches great importance to the attack of the Sauron xenomorph that may come at any time, and must do its best to deal with the anomalies that may find a clue.
"Excellencies, ahead is where the coordinates of the Great Hollow are."
Captain Barnes said, and all eyes were on there, to the end of the sea.
I saw that between the blue water and the sky, a pure white barrier appeared.
It was a white wall, standing above the sea, separating the sky from the sea, like a crystal wall.
The rushing water kept lapping against the outside of the wall, but the holy white wall stood still, and let the waves be stormy.
The Dawn Tread flew near the wall in a circle, and when it looked down from the bridge, it was possible to see what was inside the wall.
On one side of the wall is the surging waves, on the other side, a wilderness, the long-dried seabed, the coral has lost its color and turned into gray rocks, and the wall reaches directly to the bottom of the sea, like a dam, blocking the sea water that tries to rush in, and also blocking the world inside.
In the middle of the uneven seabed, there is a large cavity.
The hollow seemed to have been cut out in an instant by some sharp knife, completely ignoring the topography of the seabed, and you could see the inside of the coral that had been cut in the middle, and you could see the layers of the seabed that had been deposited for many years, and the entire hollow rock wall was smooth and flat, and there was no hesitation in sight.
It's as if for a moment, there's a missing piece of space, which makes people feel a little weird.
"I didn't feel it just by looking at the text description, but now that I look at it, it's really a little scary."
Wild. Regens touched his beard, this huge creation that was obviously not naturally formed gave people a strong sense of panic, and the more they studied magic, the more they sought to control the laws of the world, and the more they looked at such a magnificent creation that did not belong to human hands, they would have similar emotions.
The Dawn Tread eventually docked to the side of the wall, where a temporary harbor was built to moor the floatboat, and the team flew directly from the deck to the wall and slowly landed.
The wall is thick enough to drive two wagons, and standing on top of the wall, with the churning waters on one side and the deep hollow on the other, gives a surreal feel.
Reiner glanced at the hollow, even though it was already noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight should have shone directly below the big hollow, but all the light seemed to be absorbed by something, and the sunlight only penetrated slightly into the big hollow, and then disappeared, only the deep dark world lurked at the bottom of the hollow.
"The light seems to be refracted in this big hole and cannot go deeper, and the light emitted by our detectors can only shine within 10 meters at most, which is really insufficient in comparison."
Broly. Augustine said that the Storm Council was responsible for some of the components of the probe, but even the most cutting-edge technology of the mages would still be consumed by the darkness of the Great Hollow.
"The observation post is some distance from here, but after the wall was erected, most of their focus shifted to the Great Hollow."
Eagles. Field said, pointing ahead, and on the side of the wall, there were several boats, docked in the docks built in the wall, fixed by magic, ignoring the wind and waves around them.
That's where the temporary observation post is located.
Compared to the huge Dawn Treader, these ships were a little smaller, and a few of them saw several mages walking off the ship, and saluted the members of the investigation team respectfully.
"Excellencies, this is our observation in the last two days, and there is nothing special about it."
The first mage has four gold edges on his cuffs, and he is a four-ring mage, and he is also a match as the person in charge of the observation post.
Most of the heads of the observation posts of the Magic Association scattered in various half-planes are mid-level mages from the fourth to fifth rings, most of these mages are not talented, and they have no hope of promotion for a long time, so they pin their hopes on going to the half-plane, on the one hand, to conduct independent research without being disturbed, on the other hand, the special ecology and properties of the half-plane may also help these mages to be promoted, especially when the craze for discovering new elements is rising.
"Let's take a look."
Lord Braggs looked at the Great Hollow, raised his hand slightly, and a ray of light shot straight into the Great Hollow.
