Chapter 392: Chapter 237: The Queen Held Hostage_2

Negris acknowledged: “A magic array is a very precise construction. Every inscription, every energy circuit, every structure has to be exact or it will fail. If the ground is uneven, the normally straight energy circuit and inscriptions would be distorted and, of course, it would not succeed.”

“Oh, are there any magic arrays that are originally curved?” Luther asked.

Negris gave him a glance: “You mean to ask if there are magic arrays that don’t have to be straight to work, right? This is a typical layman’s question. Of course there are – curved ones, three-dimensional ones, layered ones… but flat arrays are the simplest. The simpler the structure, the less likely it is to make mistakes, and the higher the safety.”

“Oh~ So the world transfer stations would rather raise a platform to make it flat for safety’s sake, right?” Luther drew a conclusion and understood.

The magic array projected on the ground tore open a ring of light. Ange leaned over and saw the stairway to heaven at the top of the temple.

Looking down from the temple, he immediately saw the perfectly horizontal and vertical Square of the Gods and the Elf Beans growing in the square. Each plant was full of Elf Beans.

Huh? The Elf Beans have fruited?

Ange was shocked, quickly stepping through the ring of light and running towards the square.

Seeing him squeeze through, Little Angel and Little Zombie naturally followed, and everyone squeezed through.

Seeing the Elf Beans all over the ground, the big cat was ecstatic. It pounced on an Elf Bean, its little paws moving like lightning, dancing out afterimages, and in a moment, the entire Elf Bean plant was plucked clean.

Ange quickly noticed this. Because of the special properties of the Elf Beans, they couldn’t be picked with magic. It was easy to damage the buds and affect the next harvest, but picking by hand was the safest.

Ange followed behind the big cat, while Little Angel and Little Zombie held big sacks. When the big cat finished picking one plant, they would shake it out.

“Roar!” The big cat was furious and wanted to scratch someone.

Ange pulled out two Elf Beans from the bag, one hand holding an Elf Bean, the other clenched into a fist.

The big cat looked left and right and chose the Elf Bean.

So, picking one tree rewarded two Elf Beans. After picking more than three hundred trees, the big cat gained over six hundred Elf Beans and was grinning so wide that its eyes became slits.

While Ange was picking Elf Beans, Negris, on the other hand, was studying the ring of light: “Is this the Teleportation Gate?” On the word ‘gate’, Negris emphasized the tone.

The ring of light had a diameter of two meters, not small at all. Even Big Bone and Lightning could easily squeeze through. The inner part of the ring had a semi-transparent energy membrane.

Because of this membrane, the ring of light was very stable, nothing like the violent and chaotic space rifts. If no one touched it, it would stay open quietly and only started to shrink and disappear after a long time.

“This is not good. The teleportation gate has disappeared. We can’t return to the Land of Fallen.” Negris flew anxiously to Ange and said.

Ange took out the Staff of Heaven: “It can be opened again.”

“It can reopen the ring of light? And still open to the Land of Fallen? Is that amazing?” Negris asked surprisingly.

Ange nodded: “The array imprint is still there.”

“That’s good. Otherwise, we would have to return through the teleportation array, and we would have to explain a lot.” Negris said.

In the Land of Fallen, the teleportation gate disappeared, leaving only an imprint on the ground. It was already dark, and the engraving was hidden on the ground, not causing any ripples and so not very noticeable.

Six or seven owls quietly flew over the relay tower. They circled the tower several times, one even flew into the tower for a lap, but all they found was one unintelligent relay spirit and nothing else.

The owls landed and gathered, speaking in human language: “Where are the people? Did they run away?”

“Seems like that. There are no belongings left. They definitely ran away.”

“Are you stupid? With a Space Artifact, even if they had belongings, they wouldn’t leave them around.”

“There should be traces of life, right? The tower doesn’t look like someone has been living in it.”

“We did find a lot of horse dung outside the tower.”

“Damn it, they ran so fast. Did they know we were coming back?”

“They’re lucky this time. We’ll settle the score with them later.”

A few owls took off, flying furiously towards Holy Wall City.

Not long after they flew away, the array on the ground lit up briefly, then extinguished again. Because Ange, who was about to open the space gate and return, suddenly received a call from Anthony.

“My lord, the Elves have issued an announcement again. They said the God of Life invites Lord Ange to visit the Elf Forest.”

“The God of Life is awake?” Negris cheered up upon hearing the news: “That’s great, I’m going to make those Elves pay for what they’ve done.”

They couldn’t use the space gate to return to the master plane, so they directly descended through the Stairway to Heaven to the Resting Abyss, and then teleported to the dragon lair in the Fallen Dragon Gorge through the teleportation array.

Through the call of blood, White Neck and Naeli quickly returned to the dragon lair. Everyone was very happy to reunite after a long absence. Naeli gave Negris a good beating.

“Don’t we need to help?” Big Bone scratched his head and asked.

“No need, no need. This is their way of expressing their feelings.” Luther hid at a distance where Big Bone couldn’t reach him and said.

“Their feelings are really good.”

After some roughhousing, Negris, nursing his broken leg, asked Ange to heal him. Also, he asked the Dragon Speaker Sofia: “How’s the situation now? Have the Elves given you any trouble? Why are they so anxious to call us back?”
