Chapter 811 – Arrival at the Eternal Night
Chapter 811 Arriving at the Eternal Night
Korie posed the question, “But the eye of the wind was born with a very critical spatial reaction in addition to contamination.”
Before Sol could answer her question, Korie herself suddenly reacted.
“Oh~ the Chaotic Domain Compass?”
Sol nodded in relief, both of them were able to understand their intentions well, and had a good understanding of each other.
“When the time comes, Byron-senpai will be in charge of carrying out the inverse inertia formula while you, Korie, will turn on the Chaotic Domain Compass, but be careful not to go over it completely, turn it on for a bit and then turn it off, so that people can’t find the exact location of the eye of the wind to make it more real.”
When the eye of the wind appeared in the Lordless Land two years ago, the Judgment Court, the Stargate Council, and Sky City all got the news in advance.
They must have found some clues.
When Saul personally sealed an eye of the wind, he also knew which precursors and what signs meant that the eye of the wind had appeared.
Naturally, he had the certainty to create a fake eye of the wind.
Once the eye of the wind appeared, he must immediately return to the Masterless Land.
Even if the Ruling Court wasn’t going to release him back yet, the people from the Stargate Council would personally come to his door to fetch him out.
The carriage that the Court of Judgment picked up Saul needed three days to cross the Dwarf Valley, and these three days were the equivalent of Saul returning to the Sorcerer’s Tower for a vacation.
Of course he wasn’t really taking a vacation to relax, but he was continuing to discuss with Kore and Byron on how to make the False Eye of the Wind more realistic.
As well as how to let the Stargate Council and the Court of Judgment discover the existence of the pseudo wind eye in time.
Three days passed by in a flash, and before noon came on the third day, Saul’s figure flashed and reappeared on the Judgment Court’s Pegasus Carriage.
It was still the same dark and simple little carriage.
“Master?” Herman asked tentatively.
“Snap!” Saul snapped his fingers, illuminating the entire compartment.
“Experiment successful, temporary coordinates are operational.” He was satisfied.
This time when he came back, he didn’t use Herman’s fate line to locate the instantaneous transfer, but used the temporary coordinates he made himself.
The temporary coordinates were not a fate line, but a relatively large point, and when Sol touched this point, he could also complete the instantaneous transfer.
It was just that this temporary coordinate couldn’t be maintained for too long. The temporary coordinates that Saul made for the first time could last for ten days at most. It could only be used in emergencies, and could not be positioned for a long period of time.
However, when he did more research, he might be able to extend the temporary coordinates’ maintenance period to a few months.
That would allow him to use it in more scenarios.
The Judgment Court’s carriage was still traveling smoothly on the ground.
Satisfied, Sol retrieved his soul fragment, then pushed the carriage door open a small crack, signaling the driver that he had returned.
Outside the carriage, the back of the driver, who was fully covered in a cloak, suddenly stiffened and slowly relaxed.
“Lord Sol, welcome back.”
The coachman’s voice had always been low and hoarse, but today it was extraordinarily woozy, as if he had used up all his strength.
Saul now knew that other people were unable to teleport within the Dwarf Valley, but he was not in a good position to discuss this matter with the coachman, so he continued to act as if he didn’t know, informing the coachman that he was back before closing the carriage door again and sitting in the carriage to meditate, recovering his mental body that had been slightly undulating due to the teleportation.
He didn’t know that the carriage driver of the Court of Judgment was truly nervous for three days.
Because his body was too tense, that was why he nearly came off due to a moment of relaxation after Saul’s return.
Saul did not know that this humble carriage he was in actually had something inside.
Even if Frim’s consciousness left the lamplighter, he didn’t want to escape from the carriage.
In fact, once Saul wanted to escape from the compartment, or prepared to violently destroy the compartment, the compartment would immediately activate the defense function, mentally depriving Saul of his ability to act.
To put it simply, it would make him stunned or fall asleep. Even if Saul wouldn’t really pass out due to his perverted mental strength, he would still be unable to continue escaping due to the drastic shock to his mental body.
Because, the entire carriage was made by Frim himself, for the purpose of escorting those disobedient high-ranking wizards.
It was also because this carriage would only transport powerful sorcerers, causing outsiders to think that this was the highest standard for the Judgment Court to welcome guests.
Who would have thought that it was actually a cage?
And those sorcerers who tried to escape but failed were able to vaguely guess the true purpose of this carriage.
But for the sake of face and honor, they wouldn’t divulge this matter.
However, Flimsy, who made the carriage, probably didn’t think that Saul didn’t even need to leave the carriage or violently destroy it, all he needed was an instantaneous movement to leave this hidden cage.
Therefore, after Saul left, although the carriage driver still drove towards the teleportation array to the Nefertiti Continent according to the original plan, his heart was actually anxious, fearing that if Saul didn’t come back, he wouldn’t be able to complete the task explained by the court master and would be relieved of his wrath.
Fortunately, Saul came back, and he was able to complete his task on time.
Saul’s timing was accurate, after he returned, another hour passed, and the carriage slowly stopped.
Saul opened the door again to find that they were on a new sorcery spell.
The last time they landed on a teleportation formation on the continent of Ethkiper, Saul didn’t have time to take a closer look.
This time, he looked out along the door, only to find that a row of fences stood around this spell formation, firmly wrapping the huge spell formation.
Every dozen meters or so of the fence had a column with a flame on it, suspended a meter above the column.
The walls were also inscribed with densely packed sorcery spell formations.
Saul casually swept through a few of them and found isolation spell formations and protection spell formations, attack spell formations, and so on.
It seemed that in order to protect this ultra-long-distance teleportation array, the Judgment Court had also put in a lot of effort.
Saul believed that once someone tried to destroy the spell formation or trespassed without permission, those flames suspended on the pillars would teach them to be a new person in their next life.
Perhaps it was because the driver was in a hurry to hand Saul over, before Saul had time to observe more, he heard the driver prompt him, “It’s about to start, please close the door.”
Already more or less guessing the reason for the coachman’s nervousness, Saul didn’t make any trouble and very cooperatively closed the door and took the initiative to stop all fluctuations in his magic and spiritual power.
In the next second, the sense of spatial disorganization came again.
And this time the feeling of confusion brought to Saul was even greater than the last time.
“Last time there should have been Frim’s consciousness beside him, so the space inside the carriage was more stable than now.”
Saul was in the mood to think about the problem against the uncomfortable feeling of being transported over a long distance.
Because of the rapid transformation of space, Saul’s perception of time was also in disarray.
There were times when he even suspected that time had been stopped, but in the next instant everything was back to normal.
After an unknown amount of time, Saul finally heard the coachman outside say in a hoarse voice, “Sir Saul, we’ve arrived, you can come out now.”
Saul closed his eyes and recovered slightly for a few seconds, and only after feeling that he had re-stabilized himself did he push open the car door and step out.
And the scene outside the carriage surprised him a little.
The Pegasus carriage was parked in the center of the spell formation, but on the periphery of the spell formation, there was actually a circle of people surrounding it.
The direction that Saul was facing was also covered with a long golden carpet.
It was like a red carpet for welcoming guests.
The coachman got down from the carriage and moved the space out of the way, “Your Excellency Saul, these are the important courtiers and noble members of the Neverwinter Nights Empire who have come to greet you.”
After a pause, he added, “The Emperor of the Eternal Night, is waiting for your visit at the royal palace.”
