Chapter 656: World Stone Teleportation!

"Grandma Mara, I'm back, how are you? Is the World Stone ready?"

Back at Mara's house, she was applying medicine to a barbarian. A shocking wound spread on the barbarian's back to his waist. The flesh was tumbling with blood, but the tall barbarian didn't even frown. Blink, it seems like this kind of serious injury that can threaten life is just a small scratch on the skin.

This is also true. For the brave barbarians, this is really not a big deal. Even if half of their heads are cut off, they can still welcome death with a smile. This is the North, and even the entire Dark Land. A brave warrior of the barbarian clan.

"It's true that you kid, even though the snow has stopped for a while, you can't fight so hard."

But this warrior of the most brave race in the North is now like a student in front of the teacher, being scolded by Mara with an innocent face, not even daring to take a breath.

To the barbarians of Harogath, Mara was like the mother of the barbarians. It was she who saved the lives of countless barbarians.

After finally applying the herbs and sewing up the wound, the barbarian stood up, moved his muscles a few times, and even patted the chest that had just been sutured. A large amount of blood immediately oozed out, and he was immediately beaten hard by the horse with a cane. Take a swipe.

"You brat is looking for death. Do you want me to sew your wound again?"

"Hehe, Grandma Mala, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it next time."

The barbarian scratched his big bald head and responded with a playful smile. Although Mara's cane was really equivalent to itching for the thick-skinned barbarian, it was exaggerated by the barbarian several times. He covered it and was slapped. arms and blinked in embarrassment.

Why do I see two grandsons and grandsons who seem to have a close relationship having a fight?

"Okay, okay, go ahead. If you do this next time, be careful as I rub a few handfuls of chili powder on the wound."

Facing a barbarian with a face as thick as a city wall, Mara, who was as cunning as Mara, had no choice but to laugh and curse, pick up a pinch of powder, apply it on the wound, and then waved his hand to drive away the man, as if he was impatient.

"Hehe, I'll come next time. Goodbye, Grandma Mala."

The barbarian laughed happily a few times, waved his hand, then slipped past me, grinned at me, and ran away.

"It's better not to come."

Mara's dumbfounded voice reached his ears from afar.

"Really, these little guys just don't let me worry." Looking back, Mala said to me with a smile while washing her hands.

"That's because they're close to you."

I said with envy, in fact, the barbarians have very stubborn and conservative ideas. It is easy to have a drink with them and brag, but it is difficult to gain their true friendship.

They don't have much conspiracy and scheming in their minds, and they don't like this type of people, so for most humans who like to play some clever tricks, barbarians are not easy people to get along with. Like Mara, they get the whole barbarian It is probably the first time in history that the love of a human clan has been shown.

"Haha, I always feel much younger when I am with these young men. When I chose to come here, it was just for the purpose of winning the friendship of the barbarian tribesmen for the alliance. But as I got along with them, I became more and more... I find the cuteness of these people unknowingly to be infected by it.”

Carrying a cane to the window, Mala looked pleased and with a faint smile, she quietly looked at the peaceful silver-white world outside the window, her eyes shining with determination without regrets.

For an old man approaching death, the weather in Harrogath was cruel, but Mara never considered moving to a more comfortable place, but regarded this place as her home and all the barbarians as her relatives until the last moment of his life.

"You see, when people get older, their memory cannot keep up, and they almost forget important things."

After sighing for a long time, Mara suddenly patted his head lightly, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to me.

"The World Stone teleportation is ready. As long as you are sure that nothing has been missed and you can start immediately, you can teleport it at any time."

"I guess I have nothing left to prepare."

I muttered to myself, since this trip is only for a month, and I have to go back, there is no need to think too carefully about everything.

"Okay, come with me."

After leaving these words, Mala walked straight out on crutches, and I quickly followed.

"By the way, Grandma Mara, does it require energy to transmit the World Stone?" I asked while walking in the direction of the Mages Guild.

"Everything is exchanged at equal value. If you want to use the World Stone to teleport, of course you have to consume a certain amount of energy." Mara nodded with a smile.

"How much does that cost?"

I asked cautiously, thinking that the original long-distance teleportation magic required five fragmented gems as energy for each trip, and another five fragmented gems had to be paid to the mage who cast the spell. Of course, after optimization, a mage is no longer needed. It consumes too much mental power and mana, and the energy required for transmission is also greatly reduced.

That's it for light teleportation. Wouldn't it be even more exaggerated for World Stone teleportation? If I need five flawless gems, then I'm really going to bleed a lot.

"One whole gem is enough."

However, Mara gave such an unexpected answer, which made me, who had been mentally prepared, involuntarily let out an exclamation.

"so little?!"

"Yes, a complete gem can activate the World Stone." Mara looked at me with a smile, as if he had understood what I was thinking.

"The reason why the previous long-distance transmission magic consumed so much is because the magic circle itself was imperfect and could not effectively utilize energy. Look, after optimization, isn't it much better? And the World Stone itself integrates the most perfect magic Array is the mother body of all space magic, and all space magic is born through the study of it. The utilization of energy has almost reached 100%, so it consumes so little."

"So that's it."

Mara's words made me feel like I had gained a lot of knowledge again.

"If it's a complete gem, I can still afford it."

He secretly calculated in his mind that in the more than 20 days since arriving in Harrogas, he had almost earned an average of three gems per day. Of course, the grades of these gems varied, including cracked grade ones. There are complete grade ones, and even flawless grade ones. If converted into complete gems, the average daily purchase of complete gems would be about 1.5.

Twenty days means thirty pills, and now I have to spend one-thirtieth of my income. It would be a lie to say that I don't feel bad, and it would be a lie to say that I feel too bad.

Soon, following Mara's graceful pace that was not expected of an old man, we arrived at the Mages Guild. There were already several black-robed mages waiting there, wearing robes and hats, their faces, and even their entire figures. Shrouded in darkness, it looks a bit like the dark wanderers that appeared in Kurast Harbor.

In fact, after seeing it often, it’s no surprise that mages have some special hobbies. Especially when performing rituals that they consider important, they like to be mysterious, and they really make many impure things appear. The adventurers of the mage profession were deceived and had an unfathomable illusion. Well, it was an illusion.

Just like an underground party meeting, a few black-robed mages opened the door for us, then turned around and led the way. They didn't say a word from beginning to end. In the wide and dark corridor, only the sound of neat footsteps was left. Keep echoing.

Passing through several huge magic doors along the way, our group finally came to an empty hall.

What about the World Stone?

I looked around restlessly behind Mara, but I couldn't find any trace of the World Stone.

At this time, the mages dragged their long black robes slowly to the corner of the hall and began to slowly recite complicated incantations. Then, the light of the magic circle began to shine on the smooth floor of the hall. .

The security measures are really tight. Not to mention the first few doors that are engraved with magic circles, even if you get here, you still need to touch the magic mechanism to see the World Stone.

Under the flickering light of the magic circle, a circle of light suddenly lit up in the center of the hall. Mara suddenly stepped forward and walked in the direction of the circle of light, and I quickly followed.

When the two of us entered the aperture, our eyes were dazzled, and we suddenly felt that our bodies were falling rapidly. Before we could understand what was going on, we had already arrived in a mysterious room.

The huge space of the cylinder is about more than a thousand square meters and hundreds of meters high. There is nothing inside, except for a rhombus-shaped red crystal that is tens of meters high in the center, as tall and vertical as a giant. With.

This red crystal is similar to the storage crystal I saw in Adventurer Plaza, but it is much larger and more shocking. From the huge red crystal cylinder, I felt a surging soul power. , as if the pillar itself is a soul crystal.

Suddenly it occurred to me, what would happen if this cylinder was placed on the hollow shell inside the World Stone Hall?

With a shell exuding huge vitality and a core soul, the two perfectly fit together. What will happen to the World Stone Hall?

There is no doubt that what is in front of me is the legendary, most mysterious thing in the world, and the source of the invasion of the Hell clan - the World Stone!

Maybe this is wrong. The source of the Hell clan's invasion is not the World Stone, but human desire. Just like there is nothing wrong with money itself, it's just that the people who use it are wrong.

But no matter what, in the entire history of the Dark Continent, the World Stone plays the most important role. Almost every history book will mention its existence. Even the illiterate civilians will mention the World Stone when they mention it. , they would put on a knowing expression, and then sigh: Ah, that is really an awesome (hateful) guy.

After admiring this historic behemoth, I shifted my interest to the entire cylindrical hall.

It is said that there are many masters guarding the World Stone. No, no need to say that, this is a matter of course. Now I just want to try to find those hidden masters and see that these are the same as those three barbarian uncles who have been working silently. Showing the grace of a senior master.

It's a pity that even if I suppressed my ninth sense, I still couldn't detect the existence of a third life in the hall besides Mara and me.

The druid's perception is quite terrifying, especially in such a small hall. As long as you are careful, it is a whole life scanner, and you can find even a spider in the gap in the wall.

There are only two situations when this happens. The first is that there are only two people in the hall, Mara and me, and there are indeed no legendary masters. The second is that those masters are too much stronger than me and I am not strong enough to investigate.

With my rich imagination, it is of course impossible for me to choose such an empty answer as the first one.

Seeing me looking around like a curious baby, Mara didn't bother me, but looked on with a smile. I believe I'm not the only one. Any adventurer who comes here will wish he had a few more eyes to take a closer look. What is so strange about this legendary World Stone and the space where it is placed.

It wasn't until I turned around and focused my attention on Marash again that she smiled and said, "If you like it, just put the gems in here and you can teleport."

Following Mara's footsteps, we came to the foot of the World Stone. When we looked up, the World Stone, which was dozens of meters high and about four to five meters thick, looked even more massive, as if it was about to collapse at any time.

Moreover, it is not in direct contact with the base, but floats slightly as wide as a finger. It does not rely on external force and is completely suspended in the air. I can only use two words to describe this fact - miracle!

It is indeed an extremely mysterious stone of the world that has been described in countless history books.

Following the direction Farah pointed, I saw an inconspicuous groove next to the base of the World Stone. It was square and could just fit a complete gemstone.

Near the groove, there are countless rays of light that are finer than a hair. These rays are like the most sophisticated and complex circuit board layout. The thickness, corners, and intervals between the rays are all extremely precise.

These precise rays of light form a huge magical vein that spreads densely throughout the hall, even on the walls and ceiling. I don’t know how many there are in total. How much will it cost to accurately depict them one by one? time.

It feels like completing this layout is like counting the grains of sand one by one until all the sand on the beach is counted. Mage, what a painful profession.

After sighing for a while, I took out a complete diamond, but was slapped on the head by Mara with a cane.

"You kid, how old are you and are you still so mischievous?"

"Hehe, just trying it out." I touched my head sheepishly and smiled.

Anyone who has played the game knows that among the complete gems, there are only complete diamonds, and their shape is different from other gems, in the shape of a rhombus. Therefore, I just wanted to try the compatibility of this groove to see if it is compatible with the World Stone. Just as awesome.

Of course, if you insist that the shape of the skull is different from all gems, then I have nothing to say.

With a sneer, I replaced the diamond with a purple gemstone, and rubbed it reluctantly a few times, while Mara kept rolling her eyes.

Rogge's reputation as a stingy person was indeed not groundless. At this time, this was probably what she was thinking.

After the gem was set on the groove, immediately, starting from the groove, those densely distributed white lines lit up, just like a sink filled with water, flowing outward, the light continued to spread, and the concave The purple gemstone in the tank is also dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is a sign that a large amount of energy has been absorbed.

Like countless dry rivers filled with large amounts of water, the light distributed throughout the hall was measured one by one and spread to all directions. It made me dizzy. In the end, almost all the lights in the hall were lit. After that, all these rays of light were concentrated on the base under the World Stone.

When the last ray of light lit up, the huge World Stone immediately erupted with hot red light, and circles of light emitted, filling the entire hall, and the countless white lights flashing all over the hall. The brilliance intertwined together to form a dream-like world.

"Okay, kid, put your hand up."

I was shocked by the sight in front of me for a moment, and Mala's voice came to my ears. I subconsciously followed her words, stretched out my hand, and gently pressed my palm on the World Stone.

In an instant, an incomparable suction force came from the World Stone, sucking all his body and soul into it, and his ears only had time to hear Mara's last voice.

"Child, when you arrive in the second world, you must be careful about everything. Go early and go early..."

The voice stopped in astonishment, and all of me was involved in the vortex of time and space, just like riding an elevator that ascended and descended a thousand times faster and kept rotating and tumbling along the way. Even a strong adventurer, a prepared If it's not enough, you'll feel dizzy, motion sick and vomiting.

This nauseating feeling lasted for more than a minute, but it seemed to me that several years had passed. I finally landed on my feet, and regardless of my image, I squatted down limply, retching.

Although teleportation magic is disgusting, it is far less powerful than the World Stone, and it does not last as long. Thinking of having to sit on it when I go back, my face turns blue, and I can't help but secretly curse in admiration. Carlos and Seattle, those two guys, World Stone teleportation was so disgusting that they didn't tell themselves first.

Finally, my churning stomach felt a little better. I had just stood up, and before I had time to look at the scenery around me, a faint and gentle female voice came to my ears. It was a bit like Akara, but it lacked the vicissitudes of experience. A little more youthful and melodious.

"Elder Fan, welcome to the second world."

He raised his head and saw a beautiful young woman in her thirties... Ahem, let's describe it this way. It is said that believers of the Great Eye generally serve for life and never get married.

Of course, there is no rule that prophets must believe in the Great Eye. For example, Lena believes in the wolf god of the werewolf tribe.
