Chapter 386: Permanent Landscape

On the other side, Xia Duo had just seen the whirlpool at the source of the Linshui River turn into a spring, and the Master of the [Hidden Hand] of Orins shouted to use the backup plan, Xia Duo was startled, and took a few steps back without a trace, and at the same time got closer to the Linshui River.

Immediately afterward, Egbold withdrew from the range of the Lost Locks and came outside, Chadora was still some distance away from him, unable to tell what he had done, but soon-

A portal of changing light suddenly appeared next to Egberd, so Xodor stepped back a little more, and then the portal stabilized, like a hazy water mirror, and a few vague figures on the opposite side could be vaguely seen.

As the figures on the opposite side moved, one foot stretched out of the portal, followed by the head, upper body, and other leg, and in a short time all five people came.

At the head was a middle-aged priest with a blue and white star emblem on his chest, and a delicate palm embroidered on the back of his blue cloak, which was lifted upwards with a blue and white flame on it.

Looking at it from a distance, the flames were like living creatures, and Xia Duo did not rush forward to speak, but instead clenched the [Pioneer Scepter] and leaned towards the river again.

He noticed that the Arcanist, who had been watching the excitement before, had left.

Now, there are only the seven Arcanists and Xia Duo who participated in the construction of the elemental passage before, and the five [Hidden Hands] who came through the portal in the back.

Except for the priest at the head, the other four were all dressed in simple blue robes, and Xia Duo's gaze lingered on one of them for a few more seconds.

It was a young man who looked to be about his age, but for the time being, Xia Duo was not sure whether that person was an arcanist or a priest, but it must not be easy to send it as a backup plan.

And even more simple was the priest who was the leader, as soon as he came over, he noticed the predicament of Orins and the others, and at the same time noticed that Xia Duo was watching, nodded slightly, and took the lead in rushing into the ruins of the lost lock.

As a result, Xia Duo saw the strength of the [Hidden Hand], a small organization that was not an organization in Nya's eyes, and thought that those organizations with great arcanists must be even stronger.

I saw that after the priest led by him entered the ruins of the Lost Lock, he immediately took over the ritual spells led by the original seven arcanists, while Wesley and the other four arcanists who were not [Hidden Hands] retreated.

The other four who had followed the priest had joined in.

Together with Ollins and the others, the eight people of the [Hidden Hand] here stood in an arc around the source of the Linshui River, half-surrounding the whirlpool spring gushing that was gradually intensifying.

Subsequently, the Holy Power and the Arcane were intertwined, and with the Holy Power of the First Priest as the dominant force, a complex and delicate magic circle appeared, constantly vibrating the magic net and transforming it into a specific shape.

Far away, still separated by the riot net that locked the ruins, Xia Duo couldn't perceive the specific details, but the continuous churning of the magic net and the actual changes in the material world still made him understand that the new arrivals began to exert their strength.

I saw that the originally narrow river channel at the source of the Linshui River suddenly expanded, and the riverbank extended to the feet of the eight people who were casting spells, turning the source of the Linshui River into a miniature lake with a diameter of about twenty meters.

If you look at the ground from a high vantage point, the two-meter-wide waterfront river looks like a thin needle stuck in a circular water.

At the bottom of the lake, where the current had not yet spread, Xia Duo clearly saw that it had turned into a gray stone with a faint blue feeling, and no matter how swift the current hit, it would never move.

At this time, the whirlpool spring, which was already close to a person's height, also fell back, but the people of the [Hidden Hand] still did not stop.

Soon, a smooth round platform rose in the middle of the miniature lake, which was recessed in the middle of the platform, and a column of water the size of a bowl gushed out of it.

It looks like it is more than ten meters, and the water column spreads out at the highest point like an umbrella, slowly falling, covering the entire miniature lake.

"Is this a fountain?"

Just as Xia Duo had this idea, a voice reached his ears, "Lord Xia Duo, the elemental passage has been completed, but there is one more thing for you to decide, and now there are two plans, the first one, which ends here, and the second one, which will be shaped into a permanent landscape by our [Hidden Hand]. ”

Isn't this permanent? Almost subconsciously, Xia Duo asked, "What is the difference between these two choices?" ”

The voice replied: "If this is the end, the elemental passage will eventually collapse naturally, and at that time, a demon net dead zone will be formed with the elemental channel as the center, and our [Hidden Hand] will only leave one person here at most to continue repairing, you should know that the elves have left too much damage on this side of the earth, and the demon net dead zone has the lowest priority."

"And if it is shaped into a permanent landscape, this area of the magic net will always be active, and although it is chaotic, it will be easy to repair, and eventually the magic net here will return to normal."

Xia Duo knew as soon as he heard that it must be the latter who was better, there was a demon net dead silence area in the territory, this was not a diaphragm person, but if the person who chose the [Hidden Hand] to shape it into a permanent landscape, it would definitely make him bleed.

Upon inquiry, he quickly got a reply, the [Hidden Hand] was willing to give half of it because of the previous miscalculation, and the other half needed Xia Duo to come out.

It's not much, it only takes 100,000 gold coins, but it must be settled with Mithril or gems, which does not calculate their "labor costs", or that they do it for free.

"In other words, a fountain was built for 200,000 gold coins?"

Although this fountain is related to the magic web, it is also a fountain!

Even though it's a fountain, it's about the magic web!

When his mind flipped, Xia Duo couldn't help but show a wry smile, and he didn't know if the [Hidden Hand] had already counted this day, but if he missed this time, if he looked for them again, he might have to charge labor fees.

"Let's make it a permanent landscape, but I need time to raise 100,000 gold coins of Mithril or gems."

"No problem, as long as you pay it before the repair of the magic net is completed, I believe that Lord Xia Duo, as the husband of Her Royal Highness the princess's student, will definitely not be in arrears."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Duo immediately regretted it, not because he borrowed Nia's name, but from the other party's words, he speculated that the time for the complete repair of the magic net may be much less than he thought, and even if he didn't agree, the other party would probably shape itself into a permanent landscape.

After all, the temptation to completely repair an abnormal area of the magic net is more than a mere 100,000 gold coins.

One hundred thousand gold coins is not a large amount for Xia Duo, as long as he is willing to give up all his research and focus all his energy on making magic scrolls, he will save it in a few months.

Of course, this is for Xia Duo, and for other mages, depending on how many times their success rate will be doubled.

But it's not an unattainable number.

This number must not be a problem for the [Hidden Hand], but since he agreed, Xia Duo can't really regret it.

And after receiving the summons that he agreed, the other side also took action, and the priest who led it continued to take out various materials from the dimensional bag and threw them into the circle between the eight people.

Mainly Mithril, five-color gemstones, and a few other unknown materials.
