Chapter 70: The Key to the Gate

The knowledge of space and the world is far more complex than André imagined.

First of all, the passage from the Abyss to Garlandia has always existed in a place that everyone can see every day. It was the heavy cloud rift that had shrouded the Shattered Sky Mountain for hundreds of years, but the elves and dwarves were very sure that the rift had been sealed by the goddess herself. There have been many high-level winged demons who have tried to cross this rift to reach Garlandia, but they have not been able to do so, which is the result of hundreds of years of secret observation by the elves and dwarves who live in seclusion in the Shattered Sky Mountain.

In other words, Garlandia's sunlight can shine through the rift in the area of Shattered Sky Mountain without hindrance, but it is completely impossible to fly directly from Shattered Sky Mountain to Garlandia through the rift.

"The seal set up by the goddess seals the largest passage from the abyss to Garlandia, but it is possible to create small holes 'around' this huge hole that has been sealed through this altar. Marcellion first introduced the principle of the altar loophole to Andrew.

"If we tear open another, smaller rift in space, will the goddess seal it again?"

"Even for the great goddesses, a temporary seal is not a simple matter, but the goddess is likely to warn the elves or dwarves of the fact that new temporary rifts are being formed through oracles. ”

"So we can start experimenting with how far we can open the door through this altar without any scruples?"

"Yes. The other elders are already ready, so let's get started now. ”

......

The results of the trial were not satisfactory.

The passage that Andre was able to open with almost all of his magic power could only fit a few people through.

In fact, with the changing operation of the altar, it doesn't take much magic to open the spatial rift. Even Andre's snake demons and succubi were capable of holding this rift open for a few minutes. But this temporary passage to Garlandia was not simply opened to allow people to pass through safely.

Just as the summit of Shattered Sky Mountain is always blowing with a bitter wind, this temporary rift is usually accompanied by extremely unstable spatial oscillations. Another function of this altar is to increase the input of magic power to generate some kind of force field that is enough to stabilize the spatial shock, so as to ensure the safety of the lives of the people who pass through it.

As Andre had tried, even if he had exhausted all his mana, he would only be able to maintain the stability of the passage for about a minute, which might only allow a few people to pass through quickly, given the length of the passage and various other uncertainties.

Just when Andre was thinking about whether he could open the passage multiple times and let the demons under his command pass through multiple times, the blood-colored thorns brought him an unexpected surprise.

"This altar should have fallen to the Demon Realm with the Shattered Sky Mountain, although it can still operate normally after so many years, if it is repeatedly used with a full load of magic power, no one can say how long it can last, especially when life passes through it, the soul of wisdom is likely to cause the intensification of the space barrier and the chaos of the law. What's more, repeating such an act will also be very detrimental to your body, Your Highness. "Elder Druids told the Children of the Abyss very earnestly that it was not practical. It is precisely because it is so difficult to travel in the plane that it reflects the great significance and unignorable role of that stable world gate back then.

Andre frowned, he had already been mentally prepared for the difficulties of going to Garlandia, but there was no feasible way to overcome the obstacles in front of him. It was precisely because it was a difficult feat to go to Garlandiya that Mushahn led the demon army to that world that would be praised by the demons.

"Not to mention that I won't easily leave any of Andrarui's members behind as a last resort, I believe that there are many people in Thornleaf Village and the Limestone Clan who yearn for their true homeland. If possible, I will do my best to fulfill the wishes of my elven and dwarven friends. ”

Reluctantly, André carried the Crown of Blood Thorns on his head, a function he had only recently discovered. In addition to transmitting dreams to him for that unknown will, the Scarlet Thorn also increased his mental strength by two points. It is a very intuitive "magic equipment" that is like the classic setting in Andrei's memory.

Unlike magical weapons such as Demon Blade Shadow, whose elemental damage cannot be accurately quantified, the two points of spirit that the Blood Thorn Crown can provide can increase Andre's efficiency in manipulating and recovering mana. If it weren't for the fact that the shape was too sassy, in fact, the Children of the Abyss could have carried it on their heads all the time.

When Andre tried to activate the altar again, not only himself, but also the elders who had been watching the altar and the rift had been observing the changes in the altar and the rift, they had discovered the anomaly! People with far more than ordinary spirits and perceptions could feel the fluctuations of elemental and magical power through a spiritual sense similar to the "sixth sense", which was also the basis for spells cast by wizards and priests. As for mortals who don't have enough spiritual sense, then they can only observe the most intuitive "spell effects" through the naked eye.

This time, both the speed of the rift unfolding and the degree of stability after unfolding have far exceeded the results shown in every previous attempt! Although Andre knew in his heart that two points of spirit could improve his spell casting ability to a certain extent, this kind of effect that seemed to be a qualitative change was definitely not as simple as increasing a few points of spiritual power.

The great will of the so-called abyss, which had made Andre noncommittal many times, finally moved him a little this time, he didn't know anything about the principles of altars and rifts, and even his "skill panel" had never appeared in any expertise in space spells or laws.

There is no doubt that the powerful effect of this experiment may well have come from this blood-red bright plant on his head! According to his fanatics, this is the guidance of the will of the Great Abyss!

"Try again! Try again!" Some of the elven elders who used to have a straight face like an old pedantic face also began to get excited, if the rift created by this altar could become more and more stable, then the long-cherished dream of the elves and dwarves returning to Garandia would no longer even be a distant dream!

"Your Highness, how did you do that!?" Matherien eagerly shook the child of the abyss, who was still a little distracted, and looked a little excited like a bear child pestering an adult for candy.

"Maybe it's because of it......" Andrei innocently pointed to the strange plant on his head, with his expertise, the children of the abyss really couldn't figure out if this thing with no roots or even watering could be considered a plant in the ordinary sense. At least he didn't know what this thing was relying on to survive, and the classic photosynthesis in that world was never indispensable for water.

"Maybe there's really hope for returning to his hometown this time!" said the Druid Elder, who had been paying close attention to his demeanor from beginning to end, tears streaming down his eyes that were full of traces of time.

Whether it was the demons of Andrarui, the dwarves of the Limestone Valley, or the elves of Thornleaf Village, after noticing the fierce reaction of several elders, their eyes lit up with a light called hope.

Hope to get rid of bad luck and return to your hometown!
