Section C Chapter 76: Portal Runes (Mage Team: Lucina)
"What can you see?" Tucker's attention was immediately drawn to him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You can see that the tamperer is a person who likes dango very much. Sam replied earnestly.
"............" Tucker immediately slapped him, slapping Sam bitterly.
"Is there something wrong with what I said!" the younger brother muttered, "It's indeed someone who likes dumplings...... With this as a breakthrough, you may be able to obtain some key information. ā
"What's the key message about this?" Tucker was bored, "Forget it, let's get through the portal." ā
"I've never been to any of these three scenes. The cultist suddenly spoke, "The stronghold is not among them. But I can't tell you where our stronghold is, because ......"
"Understood, understood. Signaling that he already understood, Tucker was really impatient: "Let's go." ā
"But what about this guy, boss?" Sam lost his mind for a moment.
"Take this guy back to the academy and observe first. Tucker thought for a moment and ordered, "We'll teleport back to the academy after we're outside through the portal." Outside, I can open the door. ā
In the living room of the room where Winterfellfell, Snowcastle, and Lusha originally lived.
By this time, Lucina had already found Lusa and the others, and was thrilled that Beverly had retrieved the teleportation crystal. With the help of her staff, Lucina found that she could easily open a portal, but what happened next was a bit of a nuisance: like most portals made of non-ritual magic, it only had enough power for six entries.
And, due to the limited energy of crystals, the portal can be opened for a maximum of three hours, and can only be opened once.
A person, entering and exiting once is only counted as one entry. To put it bluntly, there are five people who want to return: Mad Dog, Tina, Charlotte, Alice, and the captured Chylisa, and only one person can be sent through the portal.
The men didn't know that Mad Dog and Tina had been captured, so they were a little worried about who the man who had been sent was there.
However, after less than three minutes of argument, everyone unanimously voted for Lucina to go. Because as soon as Lucina went, it was equivalent to going to four people (Lucina, Stone Demon Guladan, Water Spirit Nashatia, and Danzi Minia), and her comprehensive ability was also relatively high, and she was also able to fly as Aya who was not afraid of cold or corruption.
However, despite deciding on these things, they found themselves unable to set out. Because time is too short.
Portals that only last three hours and can only be opened once are really difficult to use. And once inside, it means that there are no more reinforcements.
When you arrive at a strange dark glacier, everyone's eyes will be black. It is simply impossible to find out all of them in this situation and get them away. It's a blessing to find one.
Of course, this is not realistic. They may all stay together, so that they can only find their stronghold and be able to catch them all.
What is very stressful at the moment is that if they can't be taken away within the effective time, most of the people who are left behind will be useless. And even if no one was found after three hours, Lucina had to retreat on her own, otherwise she would not be able to return.
In addition, there is another problem.
This portal is supposed to be inside a building leading to the Dark Glacier Ice City. This way, as soon as you get out of the portal, you can be attacked. While it is possible to manually adjust the opening position of the portal to make it feel as far out of the city as possible, it is too dangerous to say otherwise.
And after getting out of the portal, I don't have a clue - where to go?
Besides, if the portal is noticed by the enemy, it is even worse. In the rest of the time, the enemy will definitely concentrate their forces on the portal to destroy it, and Lucina will have to leave early on her own.
Then it's all over. Completely wasted. This rescue operation will be meaningless.
So the few people were silent for a long time, and they couldn't figure out how to save the mad dogs.
I obviously have a prop in my hand that can open the portal, but I can't just open the door to save the mad dog. It's really sad.
"Ahhh
"Can you only open one portal?" asked Bulso, eating potato chips, without any nervousness.
"There can only be one! I can't refine the coordinates in the magic crystal and reopen another portal. Lucina muttered, "And I don't have portal runes either." ā
"Oh, I know that. Aren't the materials used to cast spells? I think they're expensive. Bulso thought for a moment and quoted a price: "Amount...... It seems to be one euro (3,000 fars) each, right? That's about the price. ā
"The market price is two gold coins and one silver coin (a total of seven thousand fars), you can say that it is less. Lucina was suddenly a little discouraged: "And it's not something you can buy if you want to, this thing is extremely rare in quantity, and it is generally only sold in the city where the Mage Academy is located." The most annoying thing is that it will be consumed even if the spell fails. ā
"So it costs a lot of money to train a mage who can use portals. This is still based on the talent of the students, after all, if the portal is not opened well, it will kill people. Caressing Lusa, who was lying in her arms, the water elf Nasatya took the black tea and laughed softly: "The professor of the contract department of the academy, that is, Lucina's adoptive father Manus - he spent a lot of money to teach Lucina the portal. ā
"I'm learning fast enough......" Lucina blushed a little as she pinched her staff. She looked at the disappearing whirlpool in the sky, and was stunned for a moment: "I don't quite understand. Why did it disappear two hours after I left?"
"We don't know, but you're fine. Anusen's expression was rather bitter: "There is a lot of bad news. The prophecy scene you see inside is confusing, and only the part where the demon god invades gives people a clue. And the news of the Black Mist Blood Sect's dispatch is really terrible. ā
"Black Mist Blood Sect ......?oh, mortal enemy of the Demon Hunter. Bulso thought for a moment, and his tone was still stubborn: "Well, it seems that there is such a thing." ā
"Why do you say it as easily as if it's none of your business!Aren't you a witcher?!" Lucina suddenly burst into a little furious: "Shouldn't you take some action?!"
"Hmm...... That's right. Bulso coughed, then suddenly pushed Carol, who was sleeping on his own, and stood up, "Lusa, how about we go demon hunting?" I suspect that the guy who bit Bernie is still in town, and may have bitten someone else. Now that your sisters are back, there shouldn't be anything to worry about, right?"
