Chapter 546
546 Teleportation safety quota
“Mage zhongxia.”
Wizard Karl was squatting in front of the stone portal and was using a communication device. When he saw Zhao Xu walking over, he immediately closed the box. After making sure that there was no gap, he stood up and greeted him.
Wizard Karl’s robe was indeed adorned with the badge of a core member of the ‘portal Strategy Group’. The series of rewards for the completion of the portal on his resume showed that he was experienced.
When many cities in Arthur needed to build teleport portals, they had to go there personally.
Otherwise, even if the president of the city’s branch was a ninth-circle wizard, it would be useless.
Therefore, even though wizard Karl was only a fifth-circle wizard, a position that seemed to be at the top in the outside world, but was only a middle-rank position in the Association, he was still treated with great respect and generous hospitality in the town he went to.
Not to mention, he was only in his early forties. He could completely break through to the next level before he entered his old age.
However, no matter how arrogant wizard Carl was, he would not look down on this ” wizard zhongxia ” who was only in his early twenties.
Even if the other party was just an ” earth player.
A 20-year-old five-ring Soul Master was definitely a legendary master.
Or rather, it was “decided.”
Before he came over, he had already been informed by more than three high-ranking members of the Association, including his direct superior.
There was only one sentence in the content. As long as zhongxia’s request wasn’t too excessive, he would try his best to satisfy him.
However, the word ” satisfied ” definitely did not include the ” communication device ” in front of him.
Only through this device could the portal successfully connect to the current network. Otherwise, it would be isolated from the network.
If he didn’t do this, Zhao Xu’s portal would only be one-way. He would be teleported to a designated location and then it would disappear.
If he had to make it a two-way portal, he would have to build another teleportation gate at a designated location. At the same time, he would have to station personnel there. Otherwise, as long as someone broke into the teleportation gate on the other side, they would be able to reach the teleportation gate in Starfall town, which was the core area of the Association’s base.
carry on with your work. I’m just curious about the topic of ‘teleportation’, so I came here to take a look. zhao xu said.
On the other hand, his gaze was constantly sweeping across the ten alchemy craftsmen and wizard Karl.
After hearing what Zhao Xu said, wizard Karl didn’t say anything more. He just glanced at the box that contained the communication device and saw that it had been closed. The secret inside had been concealed, so he continued to calculate the numbers on the drawing board.
Having worked for many years, Karl had enough experience to deal with these ” curious ” mages.
Zhao Xu also grinned. As expected, his sense of secrecy was strong enough.
In fact, most of the work on the portal network had already been completed in Mystra, and Karl was just building a ” interface.
Under normal circumstances, the construction price of a one-way teleportation gate was 50000 gold coins. The materials and sufficient life energy needed to be paid, and the market price was 100000 gold coins.
But Zhao Xu’s portal was only connected to the internet, so he only had to pay half the price, which was 25000 gold coins for the materials, and the market price was 50000 gold coins.
Usually, this fee would be paid for by the local wizard Association, and Zhao Xu was the only one who didn’t have to pay for it.
Basically, the construction progress was about 1000 gold coins per day. Based on the market price of 50000 gold coins, it would take about 50 days to complete.
However, Zhao Xu didn’t just have one destination in mind this time, and adding another destination would cost him another 25% of the gold coins. So, he would be done in about 60 days, and it would just so happen to be the time travel node on earth.
In reality, the standard teleportation portal made of this material was not mainstream.
Most organizations did not use the teleportation portal often, so many things were cheaper, limited versions, such as a limited number of teleportation portals per day, or even cheaper versions that could only be used once every few days.
Mr. Zhongxia, your portal has multiple destinations set up. Will it be activated with a password? ”
“Sure.” Zhao Xu said as he nodded.
do we need to set up a password-less teleportation to other places, such as the abyss purgatory? ”
“There’s no need for that,”
Zhao Xu declined.
However, his eyes were locked on the box under wizard Carl.
The mage Association’s access point was limited to the towns with teleportation gates.
That was why Zhao Xu couldn’t choose the land of descent where he had transmigrated to earth as his destination, and the Association wouldn’t agree to it either.
This was to reduce the risk of the entire teleportation network being exposed to the land of descent.
However, if he were to rebuild a standard 100000 gold coin teleportation portal, it would be too late in 100 days.
That was why Zhao Xu had to make the teleportation gate to the land of descent an auxiliary gate to the teleportation gate to Starfall town. Only then would he be able to control the 50000 gold coins and 50 days of construction.
This meant that he needed the keys to the ‘communication device’ in wizard Karl’s hands.
As long as he didn’t connect to Mystra, the portal between Starfall town and the land of descent would be a secret two-way passage, and he wouldn’t disturb the city of magic.
The problem was that it seemed to wizard Karl that the device was more important than his own life.
For ordinary people, the operating principle of the teleportation gate was extremely mysterious and complicated, and it was impossible to crack it.
But for Zhao Xu, who was a fifth-circle wizard with 29 intelligence and potential points, that wouldn’t be a problem.
If these devices were given to him, he would be able to make them better than what wizard Karl made.
After he let out a deep breath, Zhao Xu’s gaze continued to fall on wizard Carl.
Zhao Xu was no longer an ignorant person. He had always considered defeat before victory.
If he really failed this time.
By then, he would have to find a way to cast the teleportation circle of the ninth ring in the land of descent.
Zhao Xu smiled as he thought about this.
He glanced at his status bar.
...
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have cast a four-circle Paladin divine spell,’mercy of the martyr’. ]
[ adventurer zhongxia, martyr’s mercy is in effect. You are immune to bruises, charm, coercion, dizziness, exhaustion, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and fear. Duration: [ 60/64 minutes (spell delay) ]
illusory sound!
A strange sound suddenly came from the door, as if someone was peeking from there.
The originally tense wizard Karl immediately turned his head and shouted, ” who’s there!
At that moment, Zhao Xu let out an extremely soft sound from his throat.
“swift burst!”
In an instant, this Level 4 spell caused Zhao Xu’s entire body to enter bullet time. It was as if time had been borrowed from the future, and everything around him stopped in that instant.
An Alchemist tossed a magnifying glass to the apprentice, and it floated in the air.
Zhao Xu scanned the entire place. There was no doubt that most of them had been attracted by the strange noise that had just occurred.
At this moment, he was beside wizard Karl. This mysterious box with the teleportation door’s Secret key had also escaped wizard Karl’s attention for the first time.
...
In just an instant.
However, Zhao Xu had dragged it out until it took an entire set of standard movements.
It was enough for Zhao Xu to cast another spell.
But Zhao Xu just squatted down gently and opened up the device as if nothing had happened. He scanned it.
It was not until a few seconds later that he closed the box and stood up again.
It was only when wizard Karl was working on the construction that he would not attract any suspicion when he opened the box.
Otherwise, wizard Carl would have made all sorts of secret notes before he went to sleep, and if Zhao Xu wasn’t careful, he would have been exposed.
He had used his potential points to simulate the “create teleportation doors” talent and had read a lot of books on this. Zhao Xu looked at the contents of the box and didn’t feel that they were strange at all.
Knowledge was the driving force behind all the actions of a mage.
The time that Zhao Xu had borrowed from the future also ended, and time started flowing back to normal.
The telescope that had been thrown away also landed in the hands of the apprentice craftsman.
after being distracted, no one noticed what had just happened.
in fact, if zhao xu was a little stronger, he could cast time stop directly and then swagger around to look at the box for five rounds.
at that time, it would be useless even if everyone stared at the box.
after turning his head and finding nothing out of the ordinary, wizard karl instantly turned his head back and stared at his ‘communication device’.
The box made of Winterwood was still firmly in its previous position, and it was tightly closed.
It was impossible for it to be opened in an instant.
Wizard Karl heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also a little embarrassed. He felt that he was being overly suspicious.
At this moment, Zhao Xu said, ” I’m going to go see what’s going on outside. I’ll also send a few more guards to patrol the area.
After getting his target, Zhao Xu left with a smile.
———
“You got it?” Wang Ningwei asked curiously when she saw Zhao Xu reappearing in the wooden house.
“That’s for sure,”
Zhao Xu nodded and handed over the ” contents of the key ” he had just memorized.
Wang Ningwei sighed, ” this wizard Carl is too cautious.
use the true vision gem every time you use that box. Although this 75000 gold coin high-level wonder can only be used for 30 minutes a day, it’s enough to cover it. Zhao Xu agreed. otherwise, I could have used my secret eye to spy on him from behind.
and he also uses ten minutes a day to cast a level 5 spell,’wizard’s chamber’, just to prevent detection spells.
I didn’t even let the other blacksmiths see the treasure chest. Otherwise, I would’ve already obtained it by using my memory.
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but hold his forehead and sigh at how cautious wizard Carl was.
Mages had enough means to learn secrets.
However, when the other party was also a mage, it was easy for him to hit a wall.
Unless he was an even stronger mage.
but that’s good too. We didn’t use bewilderment spells to obtain the information. Otherwise, when wizard Karl returns, we won’t be able to hide this. This way, we don’t have to worry about the other party finding out about the password change at any time and fighting for time.
Zhao Xu said as he looked at the piece of paper in his hand.
then me said,’zhongxia, have you thought about it?’ ”
Suddenly, Wang Ningwei said in a low voice, ” who should go through that teleportation gate first to reach the safest fallen star Town? ”
wang ningwei’s voice was clear, but it was cruel.
