Chapter 764: Sunken Teleportation Hall

Lan Qingyou returned to her shelter.

Accurately speaking, she returned after obtaining the newly proportioned potions Nightingale gave her.

Although she also played with the little cuties for a while in between.

Plus the reproportioning of the potions took some time.

But in actuality, the total time she spent out added up to only about three or four hours.

So when Lan Qingyou returned to the shelter, the sun was just beginning to set on the horizon.

Thus Lan Qingyou began organizing the things she needed to take for this trip out.

After all, she was heading to that continent that could be considered 'new' to them.

No one knew what would happen.

As for others...

Lan Qingyou didn't plan on notifying them.

If nothing unexpected happened, Elisa's side should be the same.

It was the same saying: this was a trip to a new continent filled with abyssal monsters everywhere. Rather than bringing others to drag her down, it was better to be a bit more free and easy alone.

If she really couldn't win, she could just use a teleportation portal to come back, very convenient.

There wasn't that much to consider either.

For this reason, she didn't even tell the people of the manor.

What stood out was her finding it troublesome.

When the sky gradually grew dark, Lan Qingyou had finally finished packing.

She didn't bring many things either.

Apart from some miscellaneous items, it was the Alchemy Pedestal, Crucible, and the World Tree Stirring Rod.

After all, compared to that guy Elisa who made her own body into a Crucible, if she wanted to brew potions and such, she still needed this Crucible.

As for things like herbs, there were plenty in the wild.

She just needed to put some rare materials into her Herb Collecting Bag.

Of course.

Lan Qingyou didn't forget to bring Cthuya's tears, Gross's cells, Skeletal Pincer Bug's bone marrow, Cthuya's tentacle, Leviathan's blood, and other such things.

After all, purely in terms of materials, these things were completely enough to make an SSS-rank Talent Magic Potion.

So to prevent failing the first time, Lan Qingyou even prepared some extra.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the night, Lan Qingyou used the tree hollow teleportation array inside her shelter to directly go to Elisa's shelter.

Compared to the fantasy of Eureka's ground and the starry sky above.

The night scenery in the desert also had its own distinct flavor.

When Lan Qingyou stepped out of the teleportation array, she didn't immediately go look for Elisa, but just looked at the stars in the sky and the full moon beginning to emerge from the horizon.

The moon in this world was just like this.

Mostly full and mostly bright.

Things like waning moons, waxing moons, and the like, or times when it was covered by dark clouds, were very rare.

So admiring the moon in this world was, in a sense, also a very interesting and common activity.

Beep beep beep beep—

The familiar alarm rang once again.

Lan Qingyou lowered her head and looked at the two suddenly appearing Homunculus witches wearing white magic robes.

"Witch Queen, the Clan Leader has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow us."

"..."

Although Lan Qingyou wanted to say something, it was very clear that even if she spoke to these two Homunculus witches, it would likely be useless.

So she could only follow the two of them out.

Last time, Lan Qingyou had chatted with Elisa on the second-floor balcony of the shelter.

But this time was different.

The two Homunculus witches directly led Lan Qingyou out of the shelter's bounds.

They even led her out of the oasis city where the shelter was located.

And arrived at some desert area far away from the city in the middle of nowhere.

These were five sunken circular structures arranged in a cross shape, formed and compacted using earth magic.

On the edges of the structures were individual indented spaces the size of double doors.

There were as many as a thousand such spaces.

Built around the edges of the circular structures.

And Elisa was currently inside the structure, directing a group of witches to further expand and compact its interior.

"You're here?"

"I'm here."

When Lan Qingyou was brought before Elisa, Elisa didn't even raise an eyelid.

After all, since the other party had said she had matters to handle.

Then she definitely wouldn't keep her waiting for long.

Or rather, she originally thought Lan Qingyou would only come tomorrow.

But instead, she came tonight, cloaked in moonlight.

This conversely allowed her to see that the other party was just as anxious as she was.

That was true.

Who wouldn't want to go take a look at the matters of the new continent?

It was the same kind of excitement one held the night before a spring outing in elementary school.

No one could hold back.

"Any thoughts?"

Elisa asked.

"No thoughts, rather I'd like to know the reason why you made it sunken."

"Hasn't there been incidents of dungeon magic beasts coming out of teleportation portals before? To prevent abyssal monsters from also coming out of the teleportation portals, some preparations needed to be made."

Elisa smiled, then handed a roll of blueprints to Lan Qingyou.

"It's a bit troublesome, but at least it can prevent such sudden occurrences."

Lan Qingyou took the blueprint and unfolded it to take a look.

So there were other mysteries underneath the entire sunken structure.

It was entirely composed of powerful magic traps capable of killing in one hit.

Looking at it, Lan Qingyou felt that even if the Skeletal Pincer Bug from back then came, it would likely drop dead on the spot.

Lan Qingyou even saw that there were a full three rings of [Mana Disruption Devices] within the traps.

Of course.

This also indirectly illustrated the power of these magic traps, as well as the fact that they consumed quite a lot of resources.

But to guard against abyssal monsters, this bit of investment was a matter of course.

"I see, so that's why you chose a desert area so far away from the city."

Lan Qingyou nodded in affirmation.

A trap of this scale, once activated, would likely be destroyed together with the teleportation portal.

But a teleportation portal was just a magic, there was nothing to pity about it being destroyed.

"That's the idea."

"Then, can you let me scan a copy of this blueprint too?"

"You're planning to build one too?"

"We can't just have one place on the whole continent for teleporting."

"That's true."

After all, even if witches could open teleportation portals, they could only open portals to the locations of the dungeons they had been to.

So things like teleportation portals were naturally the more the better.

One had to know there were tens of millions, even over a hundred million dungeon teleportation portals previously.

Even if the witches all loved researching and didn't like doing dungeons, they would still somewhat go looking for materials, right.

On this point, whether it was Lan Qingyou's Dark Witches or Elisa's White Witches, it was actually the same.

Plus this proposal itself was brought up by Lan Qingyou.

When making money, having one more friendly competitor wasn't bad either.

Anyway, this kind of money could never be fully earned.

Thus, Lan Qingyou scanned the blueprint and sent it to Diana.

It was just that she also attached another note on the attachment afterwards.

It requested to change the cross arrangement to a pentagon, and add quite a few counter-magic arrays on top of it.
