According to Ivy and Leo, although their group had arrived at the Hermitage, they landed on the edge of the Hermitage.
Naturally, the journey from the fringe area to the core area cannot be completed in a day or two. Even if the entire journey is flown, it will probably take several months.
If there was only Li Ge, even if he traveled at high speed, it would probably take several days.
Fortunately, under the leadership of Ivy and Leo, this time was directly saved.
Everyone only flew for more than an hour, and then they arrived at a city.
This city is not small in size. It is obviously a city on the edge, but it is quite prosperous. Even if it is not as good as the capitals of many countries that Li Ge has seen before, it is not far behind.
Because there are no disputes or wars in the Hermitage, and there has always been a peaceful relationship, the residents of the Hermitage, who have no internal friction, have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of the Hermitage, not only creating beautiful scenery in the outside world.
Such magical landscapes and inhabited cities have also been built to be very prosperous.
With inheritance from ancient magic civilization, the magic technology in the hidden land is much higher than that of the outside world. Therefore, it has long been able to solve resource problems with various magic technologies, whether it is the living environment or living conditions.
They are almost done to the extreme.
Therefore, in this hidden place, there are basically no suffering or poor people. To a certain extent, it is indeed an ideal hometown.
Under such circumstances, Ivy and Leo led everyone to the temple branch of this city.
"The temple has branches in each city, responsible for the management and maintenance of the city."
Ivy told Li Ge this.
"And in each branch of the temple, there is a teleportation magic circle that can be transmitted directly to the headquarters."
The purpose of this trip is to use the teleportation magic circle in the temple branch of this city to go directly to the temple's headquarters.
After learning about this, Li Ge also became thoughtful.
"It seems that the magic technology in the Hidden World is more advanced than I thought."
You must know that in the Source World, where magic technology is also extremely advanced, teleportation magic arrays are basically only set up for ultra-long-distance teleportation, and have not reached the level of popularization among the people.
Otherwise, when Li Ge planned to go to Mystergo, the Kaledohat Empire would not have directly dispatched a floating magic warship and spent several days to send him there.
On the other hand, although the Hidden World is not popular among the people, as the sole manager of the Hidden World, the temple can set up teleportation magic circles in the headquarters and branches in various cities. From this point of view
, it has already surpassed the Great Source World.
After all, this means that people from the temple can instantly reach any city in the hidden land through the teleportation magic circle. This convenient method of movement cannot be compared even with floating magic warships.
Li Ge, who was thinking this way, actually didn't know that the reason why the Source World failed to do this was not because they couldn't do it, but because the conditions didn't allow it.
Now that it is possible to set up ultra-long-distance teleportation magic arrays, the difficulty of setting up short-distance teleportation magic arrays will naturally become lower, not higher.
But unlike this world, there is a reverse world beyond the source - the abyss.
In order to prevent the invasion and persecution of the abyss, the three holy swords have already sealed the plane, making the passage between the source and the abyss extremely difficult.
Coupled with the special structure of the front and back of the world, the spatial stability of the source is actually much higher than that of the Akasha continent.
In view of this, when teleporting in the source, the difficulty is actually much higher than that on the Akasha continent.
If it is just the use of space magic under normal circumstances, it will not be too hindered. However, for semi-permanent projects such as setting up a teleportation magic circle, the difficulty will increase dramatically.
One is to temporarily open a channel to squeeze through, and the other is to arrange this channel for a long time. Apart from anything else, the required procedures alone will become a lot more complicated.
Unless we spend a lot of money to shorten and promote the completion of the project through magic rituals such as blood sacrifices, as in the Abyss, it cannot be said that it is impossible to set up a teleportation magic circle in the world of the source. It can be popularized.
Using it in daily life is just a dream.
Therefore, the existing teleportation magic arrays in the Source World are basically very expensive to build, and each time they are opened, the cost is also very high.
Like the last time Li Ge teleported from the dwarf camp to the other side of the giant wall of Nanilga, that teleportation required at least nearly half of the magic power in a Mana Orb.
In other words, once the teleportation magic circle is opened, it only takes one round trip, and a precious mana orb can basically be declared gone.
And how precious the Mana Orb is, you can tell by looking at Alaya's drooling look and almost losing her mind.
Even the scabbards of holy swords such as Marfa and Mosro are only made of Mana metal. Mana Orbs can only be produced in large-scale Mana metal mines, and they only take hundreds of years to form.
One of them is a crystal formed from the purest magic power in the Mana metal mine. It is countless times more valuable than ordinary Mana metal.
Even a mana orb the size of a fingernail contains more magic power than dozens of tons of mana metal, and is worth millions of gold coins, so much so that the top of the hilt of the holy sword is inlaid with mana.
The orbs are only the size of glass beads.
Therefore, the Mana Orb is one of the top magic materials in the source world.
The Mana Orb that Li Ge obtained before was about the size of a baby's fist.
However, the teleportation magic circle in the dwarf camp has a mana orb the size of an adult's fist embedded in it.
Such a large Mana Orb can only be used to activate the teleportation magic circle three times.
After three times, this mana orb will be useless.
This shows how difficult it is to popularize the teleportation magic circle in the world of Source.
Unless there is a critical moment, even if the teleportation magic circle is set up, there will be very few opportunities to use it.
There are no such worries here in Akasha Continent.
Although there are very few opportunities to use the super-large teleportation magic array across different spaces, and the cost of each use is also very high, the cost of teleportation between cities is much smaller.
Ever since, after Ivy and Leo presented a token to the person in charge of the temple branch, the person in charge of the temple branch immediately activated the teleportation magic circle and sent Li Ge and his party to the core area of the hidden land.
.
In other words... they were sent directly to the temple's headquarters.
After all, the teleportation array is set up in the temple headquarters and temple branches in various cities. With this teleportation, Li Ge and others will naturally reach their destination directly.
…………
"Zheng——"
Following a burst of brilliance, Li Ge and others felt the world in front of them flashing with white light.
When the white light dissipated and the vision returned, the world in front of him had changed.
They were no longer in the original temple branch, but came to a hall they had never seen before.
This hall is very vast, covering a large area, but the decoration is extremely simple. It is neither magnificent nor extravagant, but for some reason, the air is filled with a solemn, solemn and peaceful atmosphere.
There is only one high platform in the hall.
On the high platform, Li Ge and his team appeared here, with their feet stepping on the teleportation magic circle that had not completely dimmed.
But although this place is vast and spacious, it is not empty at all.
Because, under the high platform, there were already people standing there.
"————"
When Li Ge and his entourage appeared on the high platform, countless people under the high platform immediately turned their eyes and focused on them.
They were lined up neatly, with a group of people wearing noble cassocks standing at the front, a group of people dressed like clergy standing in the middle, and a large group of fully-armed people wearing pure white uniforms standing at the back.
A knight in armor, with a golden cloak on his back and a cross sword on his waist.
When these people focused their gaze neatly on the high platform and on Li Ge and others, a terrible pressure suddenly dropped.
Suddenly, the expressions of several people in the crowd changed.
"Owner!"
Lilith was the first to take action, and without saying a word, she ducked in front of Li Ge. While protecting Li Ge behind her, her eyes began to turn red, and she became as ferocious and dangerous as a ferocious beast.
"…………!?"
Liz also almost pulled out the Mosro Sword, causing Yuro Ellie's hand holding the Shadow Sword to tighten slightly unconsciously.
"What?"
Even Ivy and Leo didn't expect that the first thing they saw after they came back was this kind of scene, and they one after another expressed their astonishment.
"take it easy."
Only Li Ge pressed Lilith's shoulder, held Liz's hand, shook his head, and spoke calmly.
"Look carefully, they don't exude hostility or malice."
really.
Under the high platform, the people who were neatly lined up were exuding amazing pressure, but there was neither hostility nor malice in their eyes, they were just looking at this side very seriously.
And if you observe carefully, you will find that among these people, in the front row of people wearing noble robes, you can faintly see excitement in their eyes.
If you observe carefully, you can still find that these people's eyes first glanced at everyone in Li Ge's group, and then stopped at Liz holding a golden sword in her arms.
In other words, it is basically certain that the excitement in their eyes is directed at Liz.
"Priests!"
Ivy reflexively called out the honorific names of those people.
Yes.
These people wearing noble robes are the highest-ranking priests in the temple.
Li Ge's eyes were basically focused on these people.
Because the aura and magic power emanating from these priests are the most powerful.
"Is this the priest of the temple?"
There was only one thought that arose in Li Ge's heart.
That is, it is well-deserved.
The aura and magic power exuded by any of these priests in front of them are stronger than those of Ivy and Leo.
They are even more powerful than ordinary sword masters.
In the world of Source, all of these so-called priests are people of at least Amber rank, comparable to Level 8, and as powerful as the bishops in the Holy Sword Holy See.
If placed in the Kingdom of Jinas, then, except for Redson Ellieman, who is known as the strongest swordsman, and Floren Borlei, the leader of the kingdom's knights who is second only to him, the rest of the swords
Holy shit, no one can compare to this group of people.
At this moment, Li Ge saw a dozen of such a group of people.
Even in the ancient magical civilization, the temple priests were high-status people, and their abilities can be seen from this.
Not long after, the group of priests came out together.
They came to Liz, and suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Liz.
"The entire priesthood, together with everyone in the temple, welcome His Highness back!"
A priest in the middle lowered his head and spoke with a voice and attitude of great respect.
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
Everyone present suddenly knelt down in unison, lowered their heads, saluted, and shouted with excitement as if they could break through the ceiling of the hall.
"Huh? Huh?"
Liz stood there, accepting the admiration and welcome from everyone in the audience, but she fell into a state of bewilderment, looking like she was in a hurry.
Obviously, this huge formation frightened the little princess.
Especially when Ivy and Leo both reacted, knelt down on one knee and joined the group, the little princess became even more panicked.
Lilith was stunned by this, while Yuro Ellie silently let go of the shadow sword in her hand. Looking at this scene, and looking at Liz who looked at a loss, her eyes became extremely dark for some reason.
of softness.
"They knew we would arrive at this time?"
There was still only Li Ge, standing there with a calm face, thinking about such insignificant things in his heart.
He was certain that Ivy and Leo did not use any special contact methods along the way to inform the people at the temple in advance and tell them that they would arrive at this time.
But when they arrived here, these people lined up neatly, recognized the identity of the little princess, and greeted her immediately with great excitement.
"So...this is another prophecy?"
Li Ge could only think of this possibility.
Then, a voice responded to him.
"No, I just felt in advance that there were abnormal fluctuations in the space of the hidden place. I knew that outsiders had come here, and I guessed that it was you."
A figure appeared silently in front of Li Ge and others.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The other party said this while still smiling.
"High Priest!"
Ivy and Leo opened their eyes wide at the same time and shouted.
