Chapter 3157: Time Wheel City - Fatumunster City

Louisa reminded:

"I remember that 【Gun of Kindness】 can use both physical bullets of any model and the spirit of ring sorcerers to replenish bullets. Although aiming at oneself definitely won't hit, and aiming at others definitely hits oneself, it won't trigger the effect of that gun if you don't aim at any target."

"Yes."

Xia De nodded. The 【Gun of Kindness】 was obtained from Rads, the "Eight-Gun Captain" at the time, during his first banquet at Green Lake Manor. Although Xia De rarely uses that Document-level relic now, he never thought about selling it. After all, this gun played a quite extraordinary role in the major event at Green Lake Manor at that time, and Xia De regarded it as a souvenir.

"Then just carry that revolver with you. The gift given by God may have deep meaning, and that gun is not in the way."

Louisa suggested again, so Xia De brought that gun with him when he left the basement with Sylvia, but he didn't know whether he would actually use it.

The two first went to the Vesta Forest from St. Deran Square, and then Sylvia opened a portal from the forest and appeared with Xia De on the top of the snow mountain, where they had many shared memories:

"Why didn't your teacher set the landing point of the portal directly inside the tower?"

Xia De asked while climbing up against the wind, and Sylvia couldn't answer either, only guessing that the teacher might have done it to prevent someone from invading directly into the tower. But at least it didn't snow today, so climbing the snow mountain wasn't strenuous.

And when Xia De looked south on this clear winter mountain ridge, what he saw was the vast snow mountain, the silvery-white primitive woods under the snow mountain, the city further south, and the azure coastline:

"This scenery is really... Oh!"

Sylvia pulled Xia De into the tower, the black-haired girl kicked the tower door shut with her leg, and then couldn't wait to kiss Xia De:

"Since the Year-End Festival, Xia De, I really miss you. Do you miss me, Xia De? I won't delay your business, I'll give you half an hour, do whatever you... Oh! How rude."

The half-hour "rendezvous" wouldn't delay the itinerary, because it was forty-five minutes later when they reached the urban area located in the south of the island, and Xia De didn't need to walk with his legs or jump directly from the top of the mountain.

To be precise, that was forty-five minutes later. Xia De was still wearing his original clothes, but Sylvia, the black-haired witch whose face still carried a hint of blush, had changed into a new dress, and the original skirt-under-garments were also gone.

Xia De originally wanted to use "Breath of Years" to restore the expensive fabric that had been torn by him, but Sylvia didn't agree:

"To me, that was originally a consumable... Now it's a trophy and a souvenir."

In short, the black-haired witch, who had received the "toll" paid by Xia De, held Xia De's hand and brought Xia De to a separate room on the left side of the second floor of this witch tower:

"I told you before, there are constant semi-permanent portals in this tower that can directly connect to other areas of the Old Continent. After all, although this tower is good, the space witches of all generations didn't have the habit of growing vegetables or raising edible animals here."

This room was very spacious. Six silver mirrors were suspended one palm height above the ground on six high platforms, and those high platforms were distributed in an arc shape against the wall:

"These are portals left by witches of all generations. The first one on the left leads to the Time Wheel City at the foot of the mountain - Fatumunster City."

"Then what about the other five?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Sylvia brought him to visit this tower, but because they had more important things to do when they came before—referring to the things just now, he hadn't asked carefully when he came before.

The black-haired witch introduced very gently:

"In order from left to right, the portals behind them lead to Time Wheel City - Fatumunster City, City of Diviners - Lomari City, Central City - Schluch Lake, the secret cave in the northwest of the large island of the Island Kingdom - Kelageli, and a small city in the north of Delariang."

"The last portal covered by a black cloth by me is a disordered portal. It's possible to reach anywhere. Teacher said that the disordered portal was something left by the original owner of this tower. It was a means to get rid of the enemy's pursuit in the worst case. Every generation of witches would guess whether they would have a chance to use it when taking over here, but no one has used it until now."

Seeing Xia De looking over curiously, she warned again:

"Other portals were built after this era, and my predecessors would maintain them seriously. But only that disordered portal uses technology that cannot be parsed in the current era, and even I don't dare to use it casually."

"It might be damaged?"

"No, according to my own research, it is likely that the 'random safe transmission' function of that portal is based on the actual spatial random generation coordinates of the material world. But the spatial situation of the material world in the Sixth Era is completely different from the Fifth Era. Now the coordinates can't correspond, and probably even the most brilliant diviner can't predict what will happen if it is used rashly."

In short, these constant semi-permanent portals are basically equivalent to the teleportation arrays inside St. Byron's, which are spatial travel means that are almost impossible to replicate, second only to the 【Space Maze】. It's just that the academy's teleportation arrays are two-way, but these portals are one-way, only allowing departure and not allowing reverse entry, which is also one of the safety measures.

The tower uses geothermal energy and the elemental tides of the Fatumunster snow mountain as energy sources, so if it's just teleporting to the nearest Time Wheel City, Xia De can use that portal every day, but long-distance teleportation requires first telling Sylvia, and it's safest to use it after she calibrates the output of the portal's spirit.

However, Xia De didn't have the need to go to other places for the time being. After checking that he hadn't left any important items behind when he was dressing just now, he kissed Sylvia goodbye. The witch was still a bit reluctant. If it weren't for the worry of being told by others "You delayed Xia De's business," she would have wanted to lock Xia De here all day:

"Then see you tomorrow, I'll go to your place tomorrow morning... or earlier is fine."

Sylvia bit her red lips lightly, looking at Xia De with eyes that seemed to be spinning silk. It seems that the witch lady will collect a "toll" from Xia De every morning from now on.

When passing through the portal leading to the city under the snow mountain, there was still a slight feeling of dizziness. The other end of the portal was located in the basement of the house in the city where Sylvia's teacher passed down, and Xia De stood in the center of the basement after walking out.

Lighting the moonlight on his fingertips, he looked left and right. It was a pity that he didn't have the luck to have the entrance to the "Space Maze" here. So he pushed open the basement door and came to the ground, seeing the cold and unusual interior of the apartment room.

This three-story apartment building had a similar layout to St. Deran Square, but the area was not as large as Xia De's house, and the house price was not as expensive as Xia De's house.

In the era when Sylvia's teacher was still there, several followers would be stationed in the house. But after Sylvia took over as the Space Witch, because she didn't have any industry in "Time Wheel City," and she herself didn't have enough manpower, this house was only inhabited for two months each year.

Xia De had already obtained the key to this house at this time, and he could use this as a stronghold during his local activities, which at least gave him a "mailing address" at the beginning:

"Although it's not certain that the things I'm looking for are all on this island, at least it's faster for people in Star Fall Bay to mail letters here than to mail them to Tobesk... I remember the address here is '17 Victoria Street'."

The house only had some basic furniture. After leaving the basement, Xia De didn't stay in the room for long and walked towards the foyer. Standing behind the front door, he could hear the lively sounds of the street outside. He took a deep breath to prepare himself for the brand-new city, then opened the locked front door, held the handle, and pushed forward—

The winter morning sunlight made Xia De, who was in the dark room, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and the street in front of him was wider than he thought.

Below the three steps was a street paved with stone slabs, and the black iron lamp post stood on the right side of the front door. The passing pedestrians didn't pay too much attention to this front door opened from the inside, while Xia De noticed that the house opposite the street was in the same style as the house he was in.

Obviously, "Victoria Street" is a very traditional residential block.

The pedestrians on the street and the layout of the street didn't seem to have much difference from other cities, but looking closely, Xia De found that there were too many iron products within his field of vision.

The lamp post goes without saying, the railing of the small balcony on the second floor of the house opposite is not stone but black iron. Looking closely again, the front doors, eaves, and roofs of every household on both sides of the street have iron decorations that exceed the level of other cities.

"Is it because the local area has high-quality iron ore that this decorative style of using more iron products has been formed?"

The designer of this street seemed to have a paranoid disorder, and the street looked neat and very symmetrical. And the gray mist scattered on the street gave Xia De the feeling of returning to the "City of Steam," which represents the development of steam industry.

Of course, because it is an island city, the smog situation here is much better than the northern capital.

Taking a deep breath to confirm that these mists were just ordinary smog, Xia De turned around and locked the front door, walked down the steps two steps, and came to the street.

The traces of the Year-End Festival had not completely gone away in this remote southern principality. Many apartments on both sides of Victoria Street still had decorations used during the festival on their front doors and balconies.

Looking up and forward, looking over the roofs of the apartments across the street and the chimneys standing in the distance, he saw the towering snow mountain shining in the clear winter sun in the north.
