Chapter 272: A New Passage
Once enough members were recruited, an exploration team of thousands of combatants and hundreds of academic mage researchers, carrying a large amount of supplies, embarked on the teleportation circle and was teleported into an uncharted territory.
When the space gradually stabilized, what appeared in front of everyone was a snow-covered mountain that surrounded everyone. The place where the group was teleported was at the foot of one of the mountains, which, unlike the other high mountains, had some remains left on the top of some extremely dilapidated and damaged buildings.
Due to the large number of areas to explore, many of the adventurers who were teleported divided into a dozen teams and began to move in different directions around to see if they could find their way to civilization. Ciri and the other academic mages who volunteered to sign up were not forced to be assigned assignments, and they were free to choose their jobs.
Ciri himself first followed a group of people to the top of the hill, where the remains of dilapidated buildings were found, hoping to make a profit there. However, it is clear that it has been abandoned for too long, and without the protection of the dark forces of the Eternal Night Plane, the entire structure has completely collapsed into ruins.
Even most of them have been weathered, leaving little information. Disappointed, Ciri did not stay to clean up the ruins, but went down the mountain to look elsewhere.
The mountain is so large that the first team of explorers spent a month climbing mountain after peak without finding any way out. And it's apparently been a long time since anyone has been here, because the explorers haven't found any remnants of civilization other than the ruins they first discovered.
However, they were not all found in nothing, and on the way to find a way out, they stumbled upon a powerful creature that appeared in the ancient records of the Eternal Night Plane--- the ancient dragon.
After reaching the summit of a certain mountain, a team of explorers stumbles upon this giant creature on the opposite mountain. In fact, a group of people had already walked through the valley before them. However, because the ancient dragon's body was so large and covered in snow and rock, the first batch of personnel did not even notice this guy.
The second group of people wanted to carefully explore whether there were any relics of civilization rather than looking for a way out, so he would investigate each mountain, and only then did he discover that this existence was too large to be ignored by the previous team.
The ancient dragon clings to a high mountain, and the lower part of its body is covered with rocks and mud accumulated over the years, and some vegetation grows on it. The top of the head is almost flush with the top of the mountain, and the appearance is exactly the same as the image of the ancient dragon in ancient records, with four claws and four wings, and the head is born with horns. However, for some reason, one of the two horns on the top of the ancient dragon's head has been broken.
The body of this ancient dragon clings to the mountain, its limbs encircling the entire mountain, its wings folded behind its back, motionless. It must have died a long time ago, but it has remained to this day because of some special power or its own qualities.
Ciri did not participate in the excavation of ancient dragons, because he wanted to know more about the unknown history than the ancient dragons that had been documented for a long time, so he always followed the front team to find possible passages or civilizations.
These days, through the analysis of the elemental proportions of this space, it has been basically determined that this is a part of the main plane of the Divine Grace Realm, St. Moss. But there are many places in St. Moss that have not been visited by the church until now, and this should be that kind of place.
Originally, Ciri in the St. Moss plane should have been able to teleport directly to the temporary base he had built earlier, but due to the high degree of spatial distortion here, spatial teleportation could not be carried out. Only the teleportation channel they came here can function normally due to some unknown force, and all other teleportation actions will cause a wide range of deviations and high dangers.
After months of searching, the first explorers finally found the edge of the mountain range, and after turning over the mountain, they were presented with a very large area of the ocean.
The teleportation array arranged at the edge of the ocean can already be vaguely linked to the teleportation circle in the Nien Plane assembly station, but due to the influence of the temporal and spatial disorder in the mountain area, it is not possible to teleport normally. But this is enough to prove that the speculation of the City of the End is correct, except for the unexpected connection point of the Nien plane, there has always been a connection channel between the Divine Grace Realm and the Magic Realm, and this passage has finally been found by the City of the End.
When the news that this was the Divine Grace Realm was confirmed and reported to the City of the End, the City of the End immediately sent a large number of people to carry more supplies into the land where the Top of the Ancient Dragon was located. Since this land has always been disturbed by the powerful forces of time and space, and it is impossible to use the teleportation circle, the city of the end has dismantled many magical ships and transported them here in batches, and then assembled them as transportation tools.
The expedition was largely a success for the City of the End, as they accomplished their main objective, finding a second passage between the Divine Grace Realm and the Magical Realm. But for Ciri himself, there is not so much to gain, what he wants to know is why the charismatic realm is separated from the magical realm, and what kind of connection and secrecy the two worlds have in prehistoric times. Unfortunately, due to the erosion of time and the lack of the dark power of the Eternal Night Plane to protect it, the Elder Dragon's Peak had long since turned into a ruin, and he only found a barren mountain land.
After a large amount of human and material resources were transported, the exploration of the wizarding world began to spread from the starting position to the surrounding areas, and soon they found a second land, where they set up a teleportation channel to connect to the Nien plane assembly station.
The Nien Plane Gathering Station had been evacuated before the war between the two realms began, and the rest of the people were those who were preparing to gather information in the Divine Grace Realm for a long time. Although these people have not been cut off from the City of the End, because the connection channel is now controlled by the Holy See of the Divine Grace Realm, the exchange of materials and personnel has been interrupted for a long time.
After the opening of the second passage, the City of the End has transferred some of its personnel, and sent many people to expand the size of the assembly station, which will serve as an important stronghold of the magical world in the charisma realm.
Although several continents have been discovered in the wizarding world, these places are still part of the New World, and are areas that the Church has not touched. The city of the end was not in a hurry, and while sending additional personnel to the Nien garrison to prepare for assault work, it also developed these new continents, educated and managed the local indigenous population, deployed a large number of technicians to build fortifications, and continued to exploit resources.
At first, they were a little cautious, but after the gods and churches of the Divine Grace Realm could not be seen on several continents in succession, this kind of construction and development in the enemy plane became blatant.
