Chapter 894: Gretel watching the battle from a distance
"You just stay here and don't move around."
After Gretel advanced to become a knight, Senior Sister Philby kept her promise and took him to the narrowest point of the Hall Strait, directly opposite Kaleas City, to watch the battle that might happen in the future.
Of course, it is impossible to place it directly on the seaside, or even on the lighthouse next to the port, or on the commanding heights of the port city. Otherwise, the narrowest point of the Hall Strait is only a few dozen miles wide, which is too narrow for the legend.
Magic can make you leap.
Placing Gretel in that place is like putting a white, tender lamb in the kitchen. Although it was not directly brought to the cutting board, the enemy wanted to kill it, so they just grabbed it and killed it.
"This cave is several miles away from the coastline. The important thing is that the surrounding hills are exactly the same, so it is not easy for the enemy to notice. You guys stay well and don't go out of the range of the avoidance detection circle. Just observe here. There are observations here
The magic circle used..."
Senior Sister Philby warned her earnestly. When she said something, Gretel nodded once. When she said something, Gretel nodded again. Serira beside her raised her head impatiently:
"I know! I will protect Gretel! If something goes wrong, I will carry him and run away!"
...It is really not easy for the little Silver Dragon Princess to say the word "escape" from her mouth. Archmage Philby looked at her deeply and pursed her lips with a smile:
"Okay. Then it all depends on Cerela!"
"rest assured!"
Cerela raised her head proudly. Archmage Philbi nodded to her, turned around, and walked out of the cave. Grete looked at her figure walking away against the light, and couldn't help shouting:
"Sister!"
"Um?"
"Sister, where are you going?"
"We have our battlefield." Archmage Philby answered loudly, but did not look back or slow down. She just smiled slightly:
"Little Gretel, just watch this time. You have done enough!"
Then, he strode out of the cave, summoned a magic horse, and galloped away. The sound of the horse's hooves quickly disappeared in the distance.
Grete listened silently. Until the last sound of horse hooves disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down against the cave wall and hugged his knees, burying his head between his knees.
...In this war, the teacher is expected to initiate the most difficult and dangerous task; all the brothers and sisters are on the battlefield; but he does not even have the ability to strike at the edge of the battlefield.
Even if he is just a spectator, it is probably the opportunity that his teachers, brothers and sisters have fought for for him. From choosing a place to watch the battle to setting up various magic circles, I am afraid that he has not considered it carefully...
He is really too weak.
He couldn't help at all.
"Gretel, what's wrong?"
There was rustling around him, and Serila came over and sat down next to him.
The silver dragon girl pointed with her bare hand, and a floating dish with a diameter of one meter appeared in front of her. She pointed again, and there were desserts, pine nuts, hazelnuts, blueberries, strawberries, snakeberries, bottles of juice, and various snacks.
"Eat something first? After you are full, go to work? What do you want for lunch? I brought barbecue, bread, pudding and vegetables, as well as a pot..."
Grete reluctantly smiled at her and shook his head slowly. He looked at the cave door for a while, then began to debug and familiarize himself with various equipment:
The telescope set up at the door is as long and as thick as a gun barrel, and can see directly across the Hall Strait;
The professional observation magic circle, according to the instruction manual next to it, can cover a diameter of 100 miles, but the accuracy is more impressive; within a range of 80-100 miles, it can only display magic of 7 rings or above, and the approximate categories are distinguished by color;
The magic circle used to avoid detection, protection, and warning can completely cover the cave and the people in the cave, disguised as an ordinary earth slope...
"There's no movement at all." Cerela came over to take a look:
"Hey, when will they start fighting?"
Gretel didn't know about this issue either. Maybe three days, maybe five days... Anyway, when they came, the senior sister asked them to bring enough supplies for 14 days.
If the battle situation ahead is stalemate, if there is a violent elemental storm, if there are any unexpected changes... In short, when the front is not safe, it is best to have the ability to stay in this cave for fourteen days.
Of course, except Cerela. Well, a creature like the silver dragon will actually not do well if it doesn’t eat or drink for fourteen days...
He slowly debugged the magic array, changing the coverage, changing the accuracy... trying to overlay the terrain to determine the range of the spell explosion...
Serila was bored watching on the side, so she simply squatted in front of the telescope, moved the lens, adjusted the focus, and tried her best to look into the distance:
"Hey, I saw the port opposite! There are so many ships! Several of them were broken... No, they are on fire! They are rushing towards the port!"
"The people on the boat... people... people can't see clearly. Wow, it exploded!"
"There is white light coming out of the city! It blows up the ship! Gretel, do you have any display here? What level of spell is it?"
Grete used the operating manual in one hand and adjusted the magic circle with the other, wishing he could bury his whole body in it. After a while, he suddenly said "Hey":
"What is this? So strong!"
"What?" Cerela jumped over to take a look.
On the magic circle, there is a faint pattern, and seven cities on both sides of the coast are roughly outlined. And on the farthest side of the opposite bank, northeast of Ostend City, a dazzling light spot is shining continuously.
Shiny
"What on earth is this? Grete, have you found it?"
Grete flipped through the operation manual hurriedly, comparing page after page:
"Brightness...seven rings...not eight rings...shouldn't be nine rings either?! What kind of nine-ring magic is exploding here? And it doesn't seem to be exploding, but is maintained... I'll check again later.
Its category…”
Turn to the beginning, check the table of contents, and then check the "Category" classification. Evocation system, no, Necromancy system, no, Transmutation system, no...
There are dozens of possible spells in the categories of protection, conjuration, and divine spells. The colors are all very similar, so how do you identify them? White, silvery white, off-white, flashing white...
I'm not an Eskimo, and my eyes really can't distinguish dozens of white colors! Please, can you at least give me an RGB color card, which color has what value, so I can look it up?
Serila was already a little impatient. She walked dozens of steps into the cave, picked a wide spot, and suddenly changed back to her original shape.
The shining silver vertical pupils are half open and half closed, and the dragon wings are spread out, allowing every inch of his body to contact the world as much as possible:
"..."
The flowing wind, the passing water, and all kinds of invisible fluctuations, let me see what kind of magic is silently condensed on the other side of the strait!
"Celera, don't." Gretel quickly turned around and immediately rushed to the shielding magic circle to check the value.
Fortunately, when the magic circle was originally set up, the possibility of the silver dragon turning into its original shape was probably considered, and the possibility of the eldest lady flapping her wings, rolling around, and kicking on the cave wall was probably considered.
The magic circle that avoided detection and shielded the magic wave did not turn dangerous red, or even show warning yellow. It was green and quiet, as if mocking Gretel for worrying too much.
"Huh." Gretel breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look through the manual and debug the magic circle. Soon, he and Cerela shouted out together:
"space!"
"It's space!"
"Nine rings, at least nine rings of space magic!"
Where does this magic lead? Who is it opened for? Who will come out of it?
The more powerful the existence, the higher the level of the teleportation array required. Just like the heavier the mechanical equipment, the bridges and highways that pass through also need to be of higher level. With nine-ring space magic, several legends can come out of it, or a few can come out of it.
Dragon and Gretel are not surprising.
Teacher, are they planning to come here? Or, will a space rift be opened and some unknown powerful existence be derived from it?
Grete stared with bated breath. In the Cathedral of Solace, and in the six cathedrals in the Six Connected City, there were dozens of high-level clergymen who also stared with bated breath:
Do you want to activate the divine descending technique?
Do you want to annihilate this space spell?
The tremors became more and more violent, as if something was there. I stretched my body greatly and burped again...
"Oh, the utilization of waste is really great." In the military camp of the Dutch resistance army, the magicians who were ordered to install the space equipment stretched themselves greatly:
"This thing was originally made by the Conjuration Department. They wanted to open a portal directly from the top of Igor Peak to the New World... but later found that it couldn't be done. The distance was too far. It would be difficult to open such a large portal.
Just blow it up."
"But, who says that the failed portal can't be placed somewhere else?"
"The key is to supply energy! It's too expensive to burn magic crystals, and we can't run away if we supply energy manually... Who came up with the idea of using electricity to supply energy? This thing is so convenient! Connect the energy source, turn on the switch, and we'll
We can leave!"
"This is the first time I know that waste magic crystals and meteorites with chaotic energy can be burned, and the burning efficiency is so high! It's great to burn coal in peacetime and magic crystals in wartime!"
"Moreover, electromagnetic conversion naturally fluctuates... With a little modification, you can simulate the rhythm of space magic. Add an amplifier and transformer, and you can amplify it dozens or hundreds of times..."
"The key is, they don't know that this space door is like this, it can never be opened!"
With a "bang" sound, the two magicians and the two glasses of red wine gently touched each other.
"The time is almost up. Push the energy supply system inside to the highest level, and we will retreat!"
"By the way, what happens in the highest gear?"
"I put an egg in it before... It seems to have been brought back from another dimension... maybe... it will... hatch out for a short time, right?"
"The best! Wait for their big spell! Work harder!"
The two of them, one on each side, grabbed something that looked like a rudder and tried to pull it. Soon, the inside of the hillock began to vibrate violently!
