Chapter 1 Subterranean and Subterranean Episode 9 Crystal Wall

  Vincent began to tell Hamilton slowly about his discovery. After several days of calculations,

  Vincent gradually worked out the meaning of the magic runes.

  "Over the days, I slowly analyzed this drawing. It is true that they were used to build a transport

  array, but it was not a normal transport array, it was a crystal wall transport array."

  'A wall? What's that? ' "Hamilton asked, puzzled.

  "Elder, we masters have discovered through research that the world is made up of multiple

  planes, and the place we live in is called the main material plane. Beyond this plane, there is

  the outer plane where the gods and demons live; And at the core of our plane are the four

  elemental planes and the positive and negative energy planes. These individual planes can

  communicate with each other through the connection of the shadow plane, the astral plane,

  and the Etheric plane. But crossing planes is a very dangerous business, and one's

  carelessness can cost one's life. And, as a rule, the more powerful a being is, the less likely it

  is to cross the plane. This is why God Himself cannot come down."

  "This obstacle is the crystal wall." Vincent paused and then went on.

  'So you're saying that this device is actually designed to bring some God to this plane?'

  Hamilton thought for a moment and was already blue in the face.

  "It should be. But I've had a general look, and there should be a few parts missing from the

  machine. It can't be positioned precisely. But it's not the familiar creatures on the outer plane

  that worry me. The teleportation apparatus, in its present state, is of no use to the demons of

  the outer plane, but it can be useful to other worlds that share the same primary physical

  plane."

  "Isn't the main material plane our world? Are there other worlds out there?"

  'Yes, there are other worlds. I have read the notes of some great masters of magic who have

  found other worlds while searching for the remains of ancient magic gods who were killed.

  But those worlds were also surrounded by the crystalline wall system. These walls act as a

  great barrier to both human and divine beings. They have not been able to penetrate these

  walls and see the world beyond. I don't quite understand what it takes to penetrate the

  crystalline wall system, but given the design of the instrument and the power it now has, it is

  not impossible to penetrate the crystalline wall system of the principal material plane. Who

  knows what kind of things might be in those worlds?"

  Hamilton stroked his chin and looked up at Vincent, who was a quiet thinker. "We've done

  about 30 tests in ten years, and only 12 of them have been able to transmit things. And there's

  nothing dangerous in the transmission. Aren't you a little worried, Vincent?"

  'It is the other eighteen tests that I am worried about. In the presence of an archmage, by

  which I mean an Archmage who could use ancient magic, he would know what the other 18

  trials were sending. Because, in fact, the 18 trials that you think were unsuccessful were the

  ones that were successful. After they actually penetrate the crystalline system, they are

  randomly dropped somewhere in the world."

  "Elder, as you know, long, long ago, the magicians killed the magic gods in order to gain

  dominion over the magic network and increase their power. According to the few surviving

  records of history, they used a magic array to forcibly trap the Magi in the main physical plane,

  and then killed him at the very moment he came to leave his realm and lose most of his power.

  I suspect that this design is a record of the array."

  'Such a thing cannot be left in the world for me to burn.' "Hamilton said immediately.

  "You can't burn it yet. It's still useful. Elder, where did you find this drawing?"

  "Once, when I was young, I went out of the spider's cave for fun and accidentally strayed into

  the Underdark. There I was kept as a slave for 30 years. Had it not been for my skills in

  gemstone making, I would have been dead. When I escaped, I stumbled upon a tower, a

  nine-story minaret covered in silver clouds. I had taken refuge in the tower to escape the dark

  elves. That's where this drawing was found."

  'Where is the tower?

  "The underground city where I was then was called Prudence City. I left by the south gate, but

  the escape route was so complicated that I can't remember the exact location of the tower."

  'The City of Prudence... Linge rubs his temple. "Looks like I'm going to see the underworld."

  "No, mage boy. You Mages may be the most powerful people on the continent, but there are

  dangers in the Underdark. You do not want to risk your life. Go there when you have the

  power of an archmage. You are young now. Besides, there's no reason why you should go.

  This transporter, we're not going to rebuild it."

  "No, Elder Hamilton. I had very good reasons for going there. My tutor was an archmage who

  specialized in prophecy (see appendix), and I learned a lot about prophetic magic. And over

  time, I have acquired some ability to see the future. This time my senses were so strong that

  if I didn't go underground and find the other parts of the transmitter array, incalculable

  consequences could happen."

  "Immeasurable?"

  "Yes, I have this feeling, like a crushing sense that the end of the world is coming. Besides,

  there are other reasons to venture into the underworld. I discovered the Enigma and the Law

  of Creation in your city. There should still be three parts of the scroll lost in this world. I want

  to find them. There's a black crystal tower in the city of Prudence that houses an artifact, an

  artifact that can be used to find a specific object. I must go there and see it. In addition, the

  schematics of the telearray should include a component for positioning. I want to find that

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  thing and see what has come into our world."

  "How do you know what artifacts are stored there? I've been there 30 years and never heard

  of it." The dwarf wore a surprised look.

  "The Mages' Guild has data on the location of all the artifacts on the continent."

  'You're going alone? That won't do. ' "Now that I have caused so much trouble," said Hamilton,

  "I should like to revisit the city of Prudence, if you don't mind my old bone."

  "No, thank you for your kindness, Elder, but I have a better candidate."

  ...

  "Well, this lovely little sister, the air here is always a little cloudy today, but I can smell the fresh

  feeling around you. How can you, such a lovely girl, have her youthful vitality destroyed by

  this dirty atmosphere all day long? If it does not bother you, I would like to accompany you

  to a truly fresh and charming place where you can experience the beauty of nature."

  Vincent saw this as he was walking to Hardy's hospital room. Hardy, a tall man with a small

  flower, was courting a little Miss dwarf less than half his height.

  The mage came up behind him just in time to hear Hardy's fleshy confession. The dwarf's face

  was so flushed that if Hardy hadn't pulled at her sleeve, the young lady would have run away.

  "Hardy, you snuck out. You seem to have recovered well." Vincent put his gold arm on Hardy's

  shoulder, and the sudden heavy weight tripped the stout fellow up.

  "Say Hardy, how old are you this year?"

  "Me? Mr. Mage, would you please take your left hand off me? It's too heavy." Hardy said with

  a grimace on his face as he was held firmly by the Jin arm.

  "By the way, Miss Midget, may I ask your age?" Vincent turned a deaf ear to Hardy's request.

  "I... I'm 48 years old." "Said the little man.

  Hardy opened his mouth wide and looked very shocked, and involuntarily released his hand

  from the other's sleeve. The dwarf covered his face and ran away.

  "Hardy, you fool. You don't know that gnomes live almost four times longer than us humans.

  You'd better be honest and come with me. I have to get away from here for a while. I don't

  feel comfortable leaving you here. You'll have to come with me. There's no bargaining." As if

  he hadn't heard, Hardy didn't answer. Vincent dragged Hardy, who had not yet recovered

  from the shock of his "48-year-old sister," to go shopping for groceries.

  Adventures in the underworld are fraught with dangers of all kinds, of which Vincent is well

  aware. Precious lives can be lost if one is not careful, so no preparation is too much. Hardy

  says that he is a romantic warrior from a romantic country, and that he has great powers that

  exude romance, so he should have a romantic weapon. But Vincent looked at the small items

  in the grocery store and looked at Hardy's big hands. In despair, he bought a tree, turned it

  into a giant stick with a few tricks he had learned from the Creation Laws, and gave it to Hardy.

  "Youuuu! You're going to let me use this? That's so bullying! How can such a vulgar weapon

  go with my romantic style?" Hardy threw the giant stick aside and shouted at Vincent.

  Vincent said nothing. He pulled out a dagger about twenty centimeters long. "Then use this.

  It's their long sword. I can't find anything bigger."

  Hardy looked at the long sword stretched out in his palm. The hilt was too thin for him to

  hold. It was too short for a fighter to wrap around with just three fingers.

  "By the way, the underworld is frequented by creatures called Deutocrats, who like to eat the

  flesh of all kinds of creatures. Not much else, except that their carapace is thirty centimeters

  thick. ' Vincent says in a flat voice as he places food and water on the saddles of the giant

  underground lizards.

  Hardy looked at the sword in his hand and then at the ugly stick lying on the ground. Hardy

  stuck the sword into the heel of his boot and picked up the stick. "Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, actually,

  this is quite powerful, don't you think, Master?"

  Vincent didn't have to look back to see that Hardy was posing with a big stick in what he

  considered to be "strong, romantic, sexy, and lethal to a maiden."

  Mark walked around a corner and slowly walked over to Vincent, who was carrying a large

  package on his back. He looked up at Hardy and said, "Sir, I still want to go on an adventure

  with you. Even though you've told me many times that it's too dangerous for me to go there.

  But you also said that everything needs to be practiced and improved in practice. So this time

  I made up my mind to go out and have a look. Just let me follow you."

  The mage looked at the little fellow, and there was conviction in his eyes. In fact, Mark was

  ten years older than Vincent in terms of age, which was why Vincent did not want Mark to

  call him his teacher.

  "With me, you won't be in danger. I'll pound into a pie any enemy who dares to mess with us.

  If he wants to come, come with him, for he is too short to eat much food." Hardy was doing

  a good job of beating his imaginary enemy with his stick, and talking behind Vincent's back.

  "Let's hit the road together. But Mark, you must call me by my first name from now on, not

  teacher. That's the first requirement for you."

  "No problem! Mark jumps happily and throws the package onto the lizard's back. "When are

  we leaving?"

  Looking at two guys who don't take danger seriously at all, Vincent thinks he should buy some

  more healing potions. It is estimated that these two novice adventurers will run out in two

  weeks.
