Chapter Forty-Four: Ranchi Prepares for His Debut
In the busy heart of Ichrite Academy, stands a huge building.
This is the center of the entire campus, surrounded by districts of four faculties.
The various classical and novel buildings in the college, although each with its own unique charm, are slightly inferior to the huge building in the center.
Not just because of its enormous size, but also because its existence is very different from everything around it.
Compared to the Gothic or Renaissance buildings that exude a sense of history, it looks more like a military fortress.
Its walls were dark blue, hard as iron, and surrounded by layers of powerful enchantments, which surrounded the building with a soft golden light, forming a barrier of magical protection visible to the naked eye.
For students, just feeling its presence from a distance is as if there is an invisible sense of oppression.
Access to the building is only possible through the only main entrance through several security checks using proper documentation.
Around this barrier, there are many members of the Palace Knights in rich armor patrolling the area.
They weren't regular academy guards, they were elite knights sent by the Hutton Kingdom, and if anyone dared to break into this place, they would definitely never return.
All because the interior of this building is a void door to the shadow world.
In order to prevent cultists or lawbreakers from entering the Shadow World, all the Void Gates that are fixed in the Southern Continent are guarded and controlled by the Shadow World Management Association and the Southern Continent United Council.
There are a total of five large Void Gates in the Kingdom of Hutton, where Ranch is located, and one of them is located in the Ixerita School of Magic.
In other words, this academy was built around this door from the beginning, and it was a research center with high combat power.
At this time when the sun is about to set.
The Academy of Ichrites is covered in molten gold, creating a picture of tranquility and dreaminess.
The two figures of Ranch and Huberian made their way through the building's security check, and the shadows were stretched long and paved straight down the wide road.
Until they finally stepped into the interior of the building.
In the vast space in front of him, there was only one incomparably huge void door.
Its eerie and mysterious appearance is as beautiful as the art of the Creator, the frame is made of meteorite-like materials, the surface is smooth as a mirror, and the edges flow like a liquid starlight, and the colors are constantly changing between black, purple and silvery.
The entire door was filled with a faint purple glow, like the deepest light in the night sky, flickering, looming, mysterious, as if countless stars were gently swirling in the whirlpool.
"What's the name of the queue?"
Hubertian looked at the last security checkpoint in front of her, its workbench, and the empty arena, and said to Lanch.
All you need to do is register your Registered Challenger License here, and then ask the staff to check the wearing of the [Shadow World Recorder], and then you can go to the Void Gate in front of you to complete the matching challenge.
If you also want to use the "Party Card" for a party challenge, you will also need to register the name of the team.
"Team Cards" is another tool magic card, the full name of which is [Shadow World Co-Program].
Lan Qi thought about it and thought that this thing would be just to fill in casually.
So let's take a look at the characteristics of the two of them after they team up.
"Just fill in the Civilization Role Model Squad."
Ranch replied.
Huberian stopped talking, but finally nodded.
She felt like she had a lot of grooves to vomit, but she forgot about it.
Just let him be happy......
Next, the two of them handed their licenses and two tool magic cards to the security checkpoint counter and waited for the staff to go through the formalities for them.
"After entering the Void Gate in a while, the Shadow World will automatically start matching the challenger with a suitable existing Shadow World, which is beyond human control, don't just come out of the Void Gate when you enter the matching state, otherwise you may be separated, you should know?"
The staff in the officer's uniform registered them with the magic equipment at hand, and noticed that the number of challenges they had was 0, so he explained to them a few basic precautions.
"Understood."
Both nodded.
"Because there will be many challengers from other ports in the world who are also matched together at the same time, so if you two are of lower rank, you generally won't wait long."
The staff stared at the crystal curtain operation of the magic instrument, and at the same time told the two of them about the common situation.
Ranch and Huberian listened attentively, even though they knew something about it.
In the real shadow world, the more low-level challengers are, the easier it is to match successfully, after all, the low-level shadow world appears frequently and there are many of them.
The frequency of high-level shadow worlds tends to be low, and sometimes even if there are challengers willing to fight, sometimes there is no shadow world for them to challenge.
As for the once the Association detects the emergence of a Divine Disaster Shadow World of the seventh order and above, the Southern Continent United Council will issue a warning to the countries, and many countries will start negotiations and send extremely powerful and most suitable challengers and teams.
The more advanced the shadow world, the more serious the damage caused by the defeat.
If the encroachment of the present world caused by the failure of the second-order and third-order shadow worlds is just a small fight, then once the seventh-order and above shadow worlds fail, they will usher in a real large-scale natural disaster.
Therefore, in the high-level film world, any country and force will be very cautious.
This is also the reason for the high status of the challenger in the high-level film world.
Not only are they in their own kingdom, but they will even have a speaking position in the United Council of the Southern Continent!
As for wanting to get a fixed group of challengers to enter the same shadow world, there are two ways.
Either between those top challengers, due to the scarcity of numbers, there are very few film worlds suitable for them, as long as they enter at the same time, they will basically be matched together.
Or another solid way is to carry a "party card" -
【Shadow World Synergy】
[Category: Spell Cards]
[Grade: White Normal]
[Tier: 1]
[Passive effect: will be matched with a companion with the same numbered co-program into the same shadow world.] 】
[Remarks: No. 891852279 Team Card】
This is the party card that Ranch and Hubertarian bought at the work counter at the entrance.
Jointly issued by the Southern Continent Movie World Management Association and the Card Makers Association, it is a team tool card processed and copied from the natural team function cards born from the movie world.
The larger the group, the harder it is to match into the world, the longer the wait time, and the more difficult it is compared to separate solo challenges.
However, if it is only a team of two, the negative effect is minimal.
"Okay, when you come out, read the [Shadow World Record Program] to me again, and then you can get back the challenger license and go out."
The staff returned the tool magic cards to them, and the floodgates in front of them opened.
He waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go in.
Ranch and Huberian took the tool magic card and thanked them, then walked in the direction of the Void Gate.
There were hundreds of paces away, and the two of them didn't say a word along the way, and came to this void door.
"Are you ready?"
Ranch turned his head sideways and smiled at Hubertarian.
"Of course."
Huberian also nodded.
Completely different from the door created by the terminal of the artificial shadow world, the real Void Gate is a bottomless black hole, just get close, you can feel an invisible pull, as if to attract the soul of the comer into this endless unknown world.
But Ranch didn't hesitate, and walked straight on, stepping in as if he were through the water.
Suddenly, the voice, the sight, the consciousness, and even the time disappeared in an instant.
All you can feel is the breath of the universe, the endless stars, and the bottomless nothingness.
It is as if two worlds are weaving and forming on each other, and after everything is reversed, a new world is finally come.
[The story of the interweaving of shadow and reality, today, is once again solved. 】
