058. Plane travel
On November 17, Bill arrived at the Golden Temple on time with Talos.
Although Bill had been telling Talos about the precautions for going to the Colosseum since the other day, and Naga had listened patiently twice, the human bishop seemed to suddenly suffer from amnesia and was still muttering about the rules.
"When you enter the dueling arena evolved from the fragments of the Lord of Slaughter's kingdom, a projection will be automatically generated, and part of your spirit and will will be transferred to the projection, so don't panic. β
"Hmm. β
"The gladiatorial arena will generate an opponent based on your comprehensive strength, humans, elves, dwarves, and monsters are all possible, and the only thing you need to do is fight, keep fighting until you kill the opponent, or be killed by the opponent. β
"Oh. β
"Because of the projection, any damage taken in battle won't affect the main body, but the magic is-"
"The gladiatorial arena retains or even amplifies the sensory perception for the projection, and you can clearly feel the damage and pain caused by the attack in battle, so as to exercise the will and sharpen the blood to the greatest extent. β
"Yes, exactly. Bill didn't notice the roll of Talos' eyes in the slightest, and continued, "Projection killing consumes the spirit of the body, considering the difference between the bloodline knight and the spellcaster, according to the research results of the church in the last ten years, a first-order bloodline knight can probably generate three projections in succession, and then need to rest for a day before continuing. β
"During the break, you can hunt on the periphery of the gladiatorial arena, and the aura from the fragments of the kingdom of God has cultivated many powerful magical beasts and magical creatures. β
"Traditionally, you'll stay in the Colosseum for a month, but many times you'll come back early because you can't stand the boredom of the Colosseum except for fighting. Of course, it is necessary for me to solemnly remind that this boredom is precisely a very important part of sharpening the bloodline. β
As he made his way through the checks to the Golden Temple, which was used for interdimensional teleportation, Bill finally finished his last sentence, about not being able to engage in any kind of battle with other Bloodline Knights who had gone to the Colosseum beyond the scope of their rivalry.
This is clearly stated in the second divine power contract signed by Talos a few days ago, for the purpose of protecting the safety of personnel.
The teleportation hall is very spacious and bright, and in the center is a huge teleportation platform, which looks like a gold coin that has been magnified a hundred times in shape and color, inlaid on the ground, very in the style of the goddess of wealth.
There were already bloodline knights recommended by other bishops waiting in the main hall, and to Talos's surprise, there were only four people in total, except for the two bishops who brought people over, in fact, only one man and one woman were about to go to the gladiatorial arena with Talos.
"I thought I'd see a bunch of young bloodline knights from all over the world who are as good as me. β
Seeing Talos looking at him with a puzzled expression, Bill lowered his voice and explained: "As I mentioned to you before, our bishops only have the right to recommend, and they have to be reviewed by archbishops and cardinals, and sometimes His Majesty the Pope will personally visit them, so the requirements are very strict. β
A combination of a bishop and a bloodline knight stood in different positions, waiting for the teleportation array to open, and Bill introduced Talos in due course.
"Standing next to Mark is Lux Felton of the Rhine Kingdom, the ancient clouded leopard bloodline, the female knight's name is Ruth Houston, from the West Faro Kingdom, awakened is the Pegasus bloodline, both of them happen to be twenty years old this year. Of course, none of you are as good. β
The human bishop glanced at Talos with satisfaction, and the Naga he liked was undoubtedly the best, on a par with the young men selected by the archbishops from all over the world in the early days of the recommendation system.
Talos happily accepted Bill's comments and quickly glanced at the two Bloodline Knights.
Lux was a young man with short chestnut hair, neither tall nor short, with a very lean build, and like his awakened bloodline, he looked like a little leopard ready to show his paws for hunting.
Compared to Lukes, who was full of war spirit and a sense of competition in his eyes, Ruth looked like a harmless stupid big sister next door, and returned a very friendly smile after noticing Talos's scrutiny.
After a short wait, the archbishop, who was in charge of the teleportation, entered the hall, and he fit the image of the archbishop in Talos's mind, old enough, with a full head of gray hair and a kind smile.
"Welcome to the Golden Temple, just call me Walton. The old man's gaze circled around the temple, "I believe that your recommender has already explained the rules of the gladiatorial arena to you in detail in advance, if not, you can secretly complain to me." β
Like the other two, Talos chuckled twice.
"It looks like there's no other place to use me except to open the teleportation array, so let's get started, please come here. β
Walton took out a golden scepter, motioned for Talos and the others to stand on the portal, and then began to pray to the goddess of wealth.
Talos knew that, like ordinary spatial teleportation, interdimensional teleportation also had spatial distance limitations, and fourth-order and mastery of spatial faction spells were the most basic conditions for personal dimensional travel.
Given that they were currently teleporting across the plane, and that according to Bill, the lower plane where the Colosseum was located was very far away from Sainz, it would take the power of the Goddess of Fortune to do so.
Hum! Talos felt a powerful suction force coming from the portal, holding his body firmly to it.
Then, the portal table shook violently, and it slowly flipped over.
Soon, Talos' body was at a right angle to the ground.
"Don't panic, it's a normal teleportation process. β
As soon as Archbishop Walton finished speaking, the gold-like teleportation table spun violently, flipped 90 degrees again, and re-inlaid to the ground.
In a trance, the soul fire trembled violently, spewing out several orange-red flames, and a special image was projected into Talos's mind.
It was a large, globular object, mostly blue, with only about a quarter of it covered by land.
This star is Sainz!
Huge globular celestial bodies shrank and shrank, and worlds wrapped in bubbles appeared near the starsβthe lower planes dotted the outer planes and the Sainz void.
Immediately afterward, Sainz and the other lower planes moved away from the center of the frame at an astonishing speed, turning into a dot and then a streamer.
As countless streamers of silver light filled the entire frame, Talos felt the power that had been acting on him disappear, and a magnificent structure appeared in his field of vision.
