Chapter 683 Large Teleportation Formation
"The rent is so cheap and no cash deposit is required, so it must be fully rented, otherwise it would be too stupid!" Holden shouted excitedly.
"Setting the rent so low is actually a benefit in disguise. If the explorer dies in the underground world, the rented equipment may not be able to be recovered. This shows that the colonial company is willing to bear the risk of losing equipment, and it is eager The Underdark has opened up the situation, the farther you go, the better." Audrey analyzed.
Joan nodded in agreement, and followed Hailar to find Mr. Locke to rent expedition equipment.
Although the rent for the equipment was not expensive, he was used to living a hard life since he was a child. Based on the principle of saving what he could, he only rented a magic travel backpack with a large capacity to collect minerals and biological specimens. As for other equipment, it is not a necessity for him.
For example, "endless water bag", he already has one.
"Immortal Miner's Lamp", just make one by using "Immortal Flame".
His prosthetic eye is enchanted with "dark vision", which is enough to keep it on all day long, without the need to wear "night vision goggles".
The "Prospecting Ring" is very good, but his "see-through hand mirror" can also be used for prospecting mineral deposits, so there is no need to spend money to rent one.
Hailar and Zion's siblings are not as careful as Joan, and each of the five pieces of equipment rented a set.
Of course, the most important "Teleportation Scroll" must be bought. At Hailaer's suggestion, the four of them donated 300 Gold Durga each, raised funds to buy a teleportation scroll, and handed it to Joan, the mage with the strongest spellcasting ability in the team, for safekeeping.
After Joan got the scroll, the first thing he did was to find an empty table, spread out the spell book and ink, and quickly copied the 5-ring "Teleportation" recorded on the scroll into his spell book.
After hastily copying the spell, he heard the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper in his ears.
Joan looked up and looked around, and the tables around were occupied by mage classmates who were busy copying the scrolls, Angel and Ryan were among them.
This scene made him laugh to himself, it seems that everyone belongs to the "squirrel".
After the expedition team packed up their equipment, they followed Mr. Locke out of the restaurant and headed to the "transfer station".
In order to make it easier for students to explore the "Prime Ancient Abyss" and save time on the way back and forth, Midgard University specially built a permanent "directional teleportation array".
This huge teleportation array is located on the second basement floor of the main teaching building of the Austrian Law Academy, which is directly below the "Abstract Law Testing Ground".
When Qiao An took the entrance exam, he had been to the "Abstract Magic Testing Ground", but he didn't know that there was a world under his feet. This time it was an eye-opener.
Mr. Locke greeted the guard, pushed open the closed door, and walked into the hall on the second basement floor first, followed by the students.
Including Joan, all the rookies who participated in the expedition practice for the first time were immediately deeply shocked by the spectacular sight in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Twelve thick stone pillars stood in the hall, forming a circular array, with the tops of the pillars reaching the ceiling.
The stone pillars are engraved with complex runes, exuding a hazy magical aura.
The sight in front of him reminded Joan of the Stonehenge he saw in "Stone Pillar Town" not long ago, and the two looked very similar.
Based on this, Joan made a guess: the Stonehenge guarded by the Volsong tribe for generations is likely to be the remains of an ancient teleportation array, but he doesn't know if it can be activated and where it leads.
Mr. Locke walked up to the teleportation circle, patted a thick stone pillar, and introduced to the students how to use the circle.
The twelve stone pillars correspond to the eight teleportation sites, which are located in the eight major areas marked on the map:
The mining area, the underground jungle area, the underground lake area, the abyss swamp area, the cave area, the dark mountain range area, the stone forest relic area, and the "underground area" with five stone pillars—the five stone pillars represent five underground cities.
So far, only the "mining area" is under the control of humans, while in the other seven areas, humans have only built sporadic outposts, struggling to resist the frequent monsters coming from the dark, and currently have no spare power to expand into the deep zone territory.
Neither the school nor the colonial company will prevent interns from exploring dangerous areas, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to choose the "mining area" as the starting camp, relying on the mining area, and gradually expand to the surrounding areas to minimize the risk of accidents.
After Mr. Locke introduced the teleportation array, he routinely asked the students: "If anyone plans to go outside the mining area, please come out. We have asked these warriors to go first."
Joan looked at Hailar.
The female swordsman shook her head lightly, and warned her companions in a low voice: "Even if it is really necessary to go to other areas, we can teleport to the mining area first, and then go to other areas through the nearby 'umbilical', so that at least there are rules and regulations. It is safer to retreat than to directly teleport to an unfamiliar area."
Joan and Zion both nodded in agreement with her decision. Most of the other explorers shared the same view, with only Arnold's team at loggerheads.
Arnold didn't seem to want to waste time in the mining area, and deliberately led the team to the sixth area, which is also known as the "Dark Mountain" in the "Nida Mountain" to continue the journey of the previous underground exploration.
But the No. 2 on the team, youth pastor Lori Grant, opposed his radical decision. The main reason is that the two teammates, Angel and Ryan, are participating in the internship for the first time and lack experience in underground exploration. It is not appropriate to take these two young mages directly to the dangerous dark mountainous area.
Arnold felt that he had the ability to protect the two rookies, but he was finally persuaded by the pastor and reluctantly agreed to go to the mining area first, giving Angor and Ryan some time to adapt to the life of adventure.
Mr. Locke waited for a while, confirmed that no one was out, and led all 31 expedition members into Stonehenge, and started the transmission command.
The array surrounded by stone pillars burst into magical brilliance, engulfing all the people in it, turning into a beam of light soaring into the sky.
The moment the teleportation array was activated, Joan felt dizzy for a while.
After a brief absence, his consciousness regained consciousness, and when he looked up, the surrounding light was dim, as if the night had fallen early.
Tall stone pillars surround himself and his companions, like a group of giants standing quietly in the twilight.
"Children, it's time to stop!"
Mr. Locke led the crowd out of the open-air stone pillar array, and told the rookie who participated in the internship for the first time that this is the teleportation platform of the "mining area".
The road leading to the mining camp is paved with gravel and makes a creaking sound when stepped on.
From time to time, one or two frightened mice ran past the feet, and the girls who were also frightened screamed, and the echo echoed for a long time in the steep Rift Valley.
