Chapter 435: Obstruction, Flying Back

It was a rare opportunity for practical experience, and Aiboke was just considering using this newly discovered plane to verify knowledge related to being a Plane Scholar. Unexpectedly, Xiaduoniya had already been there, so he couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"You have both been there? When?"

"Just last night. That side is a plane dominated by Water Elements. Niya and I only took a look around the Portal and came back. If you want to go, Aiboke, I will add the Permission Level for you, but it is all water over there, so make sure you are prepared to deal with it in advance."

As he spoke, Xia Duo directly added the usage Permission Level for the Plane Portal to Aiboke. After receiving the Tower Spirit's notification, Aiboke said he understood and impatiently headed over.

Xia Duo whispered, "A Plane Scholar, huh—"

He then shook his head. Plane Scholars are almost entirely composed of Arcanists. Currently, apart from those far away in Sewendunniya, the Tower of Time only has Aiboke as an Arcanist; it is truly too few!

Thinking too much brings too much trouble. Soon, Xia Duo left the Tower of Time, preparing to return to Linshui Village. However, he did not head directly to Savile Town, but first came to the outside of the Tower of Time.

Standing at the base of the tower, he looked out.

Compared to the Calm Domain within a few steps of the Tower of Time, the outside world was simply another world. Due to the chaos of the Magic Net, various Magic Effects that occurred spontaneously still existed.

But compared to the violence at the very beginning, the Magic Net had calmed down a lot at this moment. Sensing carefully, it seemed there was a source in the west that was gradually guiding the chaotic factors out of the Magic Net in this area.

Xia Duo knew that was where the Elemental Channel was located, or more accurately, it should be the Water Elemental Channel.

According to those Arcanists from the Hand of Secrecy, the original Mythallar here was biased toward the Water Element. Later, years of disrepair led to poor operation, and it subsequently underwent a destructive modification, causing the Mythallar to completely lose control and be destroyed, thus becoming what it looked like now.

The Elemental Channel can refer to the Elemental Fountain used as a "pressure relief valve," or it can refer to the true carrier for the diffusion and transfer of Water Elements—the Linshui River.

Xia Duo thought that the Elemental Channel had been built and in use for over three months, and the improvement to the Magic Net environment of the current Mythallar Ruins was almost visible to the naked eye, but whether it could allow people to pass through safely required an actual test.

If he could pass through smoothly, then he would not need to transfer through Savile Town when returning to Linshui Village from the Tower of Time. He could fly directly back to Linshui Village from here, or even walk back; this would be much faster than taking a boat.

After casting Protective Spell, Xia Duo stepped into the chaotic area once again. Almost instantly, a bolt of lightning was born out of thin air and struck toward him. Xia Duo subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was not fast enough.

With a "Crack!", the lightning hit the invisible barrier in front of him, shattered into a ball of bright light, and then disappeared in an instant.

If it were only an attack on the material level, Xia Duo would not take it to heart; he had sufficient protective capabilities. What he was truly worried about was the spatial separation.

Just like that previous time, in order to test the effect of the Tower of Time's Guidance for teleportation, he entered the chaotic area and was swept into a Phantom of the Ether Plane.

Fortunately, the Guidance for teleportation was indeed effective; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to walk out on his own.

This time, Xia Duo walked more than twenty meters until he discovered thick fog appearing around him. With his current vision, he saw that this was actually a change in space.

He sighed and called for the Tower Spirit to provide Guidance for teleportation.

"It seems it still won't work!"

Coming out of the Teleportation Room this time, Xia Duo went straight to the Portal in Savile Town. Directly passing through the Mythallar Ruins seemed to still be lacking something; for now, he could only continue to transfer through Savile Town.

And this time, he was not prepared to take a boat. After all, it was already winter; Captain Owen and the crew had already gone home for the holidays, and it was troublesome to assemble them temporarily.

So he prepared to fly back directly.

Come to think of it, compared to taking a boat, flying back took less time, but in fact, this was the way to waste time. He could make full use of the time on the boat, but while flying, he needed to control his flight state himself.

However, long-distance flight was also a rare experience for Xia Duo. Once he mastered Long-distance Teleportation in the future, there might not be so many opportunities.

Perhaps in the future, flying would be reduced to a leisure activity.

There is Long-distance Teleportation for long distances and Short-range Teleportation for short distances; Magic is truly convenient!

【Flight】 is a Transmutation Spell and also a status spell. Once cast, it takes effect immediately and does not require concentration to maintain. Therefore, on the way back to Linshui Village, Xia Duo would also be distracted by his thoughts and look around.

Yesterday, when he was in Linshui Village, he only noticed it was snowing at night. This afternoon, when he arrived at Savile Town, the snow on the ground had already accumulated into a thick layer.

Flying in the sky, the field of vision was wide, and the earth was a vast expanse of white. Only the Wolfburg River was still flowing continuously, showing a fierce nature that never yielded to the cold winter.

Xia Duo flew south along the Wolfburg River. At this moment, the snowfall had stopped, but the dark clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed; instead, they had a tendency to gradually increase.

The cold wind whistled, and he felt his speed increasing; it seemed he had caught the express train of the north wind. At the same time, he also considered plans to improve flight efficiency.

Somehow, a pair of wide airplane wings suddenly appeared in Xia Duo's mind and would not go away. Almost instantly, he thought of "Force Field shaping," "glider wings," "low-level Flight," and so on.

Still in the sky, Xia Duo took out the notebook he carried with him and wrote down these ideas to leave for future research. For this, he even flew off course for a distance.

About an hour later, a gap appeared in the forest below, as if it had been bitten by some giant beast. Xia Duo knew that Daxia Territory had arrived.

Taking advantage of the few minutes of duration left for this 【Flight】, Xia Duo flew around Linshui Village and finally landed on the east side of the Altar Square.

Not long after landing, he heard the crunching sound of people stepping on snow and the panting sound of dogs coming from the east. Qiaoqi brought two soldiers to Xia Duo.

"My Lord!"

"Good work, continue your patrol!" Xia Duo encouraged him casually.

When he was in the sky, he had seen Qiaoqi bringing people walking toward this side. Of course, they had also seen Xia Duo, which was also the reason why Xia Duo stopped here.

Less than a minute after Qiaoqi left, Jibu also came over, also bringing two soldiers and also bringing hunting dogs.

"My Lord!"

"Have any wild beasts attacked the fence after the snow?" Xia Duo said a little more to Jibu.

"Yes, last night a forest wolf squeezed in through a gap in the fence, but it was discovered by Huiyun and quickly dealt with by the night patrol soldiers."

Xia Duo knew Huiyun; it was one of the three Langasi Liequan in the territory. It was smarter than the ordinary hunting dogs purchased from Savile Territory and had always been a good helper for the soldiers in the territory.

"Give it an extra wolf leg."

Huiyun had performed meritorious service again last night, and Xia Duo would certainly not be stingy with rewards, even if it was a dog.

Afterward, Xia Duo asked about the situation of the fence before letting Jibu continue his patrol.
