Chapter 225: A Valuable Cave

~8 min read 1,443 words

The cave is not narrow; on the contrary, a giant dragon could pass through without obstruction, which shows just how spacious it is.

Luoning looked around as he walked and discovered that the walls here were very regular, as if they had been specially polished, and there were lighting devices installed on the walls; the purple-red light seen from outside the cave at night was emitted by these devices.

"Magic Crystal Lamps?"

Luoning took one of the lighting devices down from the wall; its appearance was different from the Magic Crystal Lamps in Wushan Castle, and he wondered what kind of structure was inside.

"These lamps go out, and I have often seen people take them down and inject energy into them, after which they regain their brightness."

Kaierluosi recounted what he had seen, "In all these years, I cannot even remember how many times Natalia and the others have done such things."

A charging device?

Luoning's eyes lit up, "Aierlong, you take two as well to study them."

"Very well, my lord!"

Aierlong could not understand Kaierluosi's words, but he was also curious about the light fixtures on the walls; hearing Luoning say this, he could not help but walk over and take one down.

Wushan Castle does have rechargeable Magic Crystal Lamps, but the cost is much higher, and the manufacturing process is naturally much more advanced than ordinary ones; Luoning has never been exposed to knowledge in this area, but he could study it when he has time.

Although research like this is even more expensive than Aierlong making Magic Potions, some Advanced Mages obsessed with this path would go bankrupt because of it.

However, mastering a technology or even a resource is a form of capital. In case it is needed one day in the future, there would be no need to search for information everywhere or even beg others for help.

The two men and one dragon stayed for a while, then continued to walk forward.

Inside the cave, there are corridors, halls, and even secret chambers and rooms; it is like a castle built inside a mountain.

The only thing that made one uncomfortable was that the air inside did not circulate well, and the smell was very unpleasant.

"Master, this is the Altar that controls me."

After bypassing a corridor, Kaierluosi arrived in another relatively spacious room.

In the center of the room was a circular Altar with complex patterns carved on it; based on Luoning's experience, this should be a Magic Array Diagram, and a very high-end Magic Array at that.

Because when Luoning concentrated his Mental Power to observe it, his mind felt a stinging sensation.

"How does Natalia operate it?" Luoning asked.

Kaierluosi walked to the side, "She injects energy toward this palm print to activate the Magic Array on the Altar."

"Oh?"

Luoning walked over with some curiosity and tried to inject Battle Qi into the palm print, but the Magic Array did not change at all.

He then changed to injecting Magic Power into it, but the result remained the same.

"Aierlong, you try."

The Light Attribute Magician imitated Luoning and injected Magic Power into it, but his hand was repelled by a force.

"My lord, I feel it rejecting me."

Luoning was somewhat surprised; he had no reaction whether he injected Battle Qi or Magic, but only Aierlong was repelled, which could only mean that driving this Magic Array required Supernatural Energy of a special attribute.

As for the Light Attribute, Aierlong could use purification to dispel Ruidar's injuries, which shows that the Light Attribute is repulsive to the special Supernatural Energy of Natalia and the others, just as it is now.

"Natalia uses a black energy."

Kaierluosi's words confirmed Luoning's guess.

Dark Attribute energy?

Luoning frowned slightly; he thought of Lulansi, whose body also contained a type of dark energy, and the erosion effect of the Soul Devouring Surge was somewhat similar to the effect after Natalia and the others wounded their opponents.

Of course, it was only that the effect was somewhat similar; the process of erosion and the characteristics displayed were significantly different.

However, this did not prevent Luoning from wondering if there was any connection behind these two types of energy.

"Master, this is the passage they use to transport food."

Kaierluosi came to a door; this door was only a little over a meter wide, and he could not pass through it.

"Let's go take a look."

Luoning and Aierlong went through this door together and walked down the steps; at the bottom, they saw a pool seven or eight meters in diameter and three or four meters deep.

There were dense circular holes on the pool walls, which seemed to be for draining water, and what caught their attention most was the bottom of the pool, where there was also a profound Magic Array.

"My lord, this Magic Array is different from the one above."

Luoning nodded slightly; he searched around and finally saw the "switch" on the table on his right side, which was also in the shape of a palm print.

Aierlong also noticed it and volunteered, "I will try."

This time, the activation device did not repel him.

When Aierlong injected Light Attribute Magic Power into it, the Magic Array below activated.

Hum~

With a hum, followed by a surge of seven-colored light, the entire room fell into a chaotic scene.

Under the curious, nervous, and somewhat cautious mood of the two, a pool of seawater suddenly appeared in the pool.

Yes, it was truly a pool of seawater generated out of thin air.

The light dissipated, and the Magic Array cooled down.

Luoning looked at the scene before him in surprise; was this summoning? Or teleportation?

The water in the pool flowed out through the dense holes in the pool walls and flowed along the passage below, though he did not know where it led.

As the water drained away, those fat fish were left in the pool, jumping around incessantly, as if they wanted to jump out of the pool to escape their fate of being caught.

But unfortunately, the pool was too high and the holes were too small, so they could not escape.

"This should be teleportation."

Luoning judged secretly; if it were summoning, it shouldn't summon different species, as there were several types of fish of various sizes in the pool, and even seashells and sea turtles.

If it were teleportation, there might be a teleportation array at the other end, and this teleportation array was likely built on the seabed.

Once activated here, it would teleport the seawater from the other side along with the creatures in that area over here.

This explanation was reasonable enough, but regardless, using such a high-end method to catch fish was truly too wasteful and too inconceivable.

"Aierlong, we..."

He looked toward the grand physician, only to see Aierlong leaning there wearily.

Luoning's expression changed; could it be that this Magic Array had some side effect?

"What is wrong with you?" he asked, hurrying over.

Aierlong waved his hand, "Activating this Magic Array consumed nearly half of my Magic Power and a massive amount of Mental Power; thanks to the fact that I had just meditated and refined some, otherwise I would be exhausted to the point of collapse right now."

Luoning breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there were no side effects, then it was fine.

The activation of a teleportation Magic Array consuming a large amount of Magic Power was a matter of course; it was just that they hadn't thought of it in advance, which was a bit of an oversight.

"You should rest right here for a while."

As Luoning said this, he jumped into the pool himself and collected the catch inside into his Space Ring.

The harvest from fishing this time was not much, piling up to less than one cubic meter.

No wonder Kaierluosi said he was often hungry; with this method of fishing that consumed extraordinary power, even if Natalia and the others all went, they could only fish five or six times a day, and if their luck was bad, there really wouldn't be much to eat.

Luoning looked at the Magic Array that had been revealed again; he knew its value was immeasurable.

Perhaps the most valuable thing inside this cave was this.

"Teleportation should belong to space Magic, right?"

The Seven Gods that people often had on their lips represented the seven attributes of earth, wind, water, fire, thunder, light, and darkness.

Luoning had never heard of the existence of space attribute Magicians. (End of chapter)
