Hail the King

Fei had seen more than a dozen teleportation arrays like this, but he had never felt anything special; they were all cold like pieces of props. Now, this teleportation array in front of him was vivid and lively as if it had a mind of its own.

After he closed his eyes and carefully sensed this teleportation array, Fei was even more shocked.

He suddenly had an idea, and his Spirit Energy poured out like a waterfall. It started to penetrate through this ugly-looking and straightforward teleportation array slowly.

Fei had tried to do this in Normal Mode, but he wasn’t successful. This time, it was unprecedentedly smooth. Fei’s Spirit Energy almost instantly entered the core array and detected the principles and theories behind its operation. Gradually, Fei understood what it took to create a teleportation array.

This sudden change made Fei feel like an icy goddess who rejected all men suddenly turned to a passionate lady and went into his arm voluntarily. What was impossible before seemed very easy now.

“Oh! So, this is the key to creating the long-distance teleportation array! Haha! If this is the case, then it could be mimicked in the real world! The Gods are on my side!” Fei was way too excited. This was like the icing on the cake! The teleportation array would be a strategic weapon! The elite soldiers of Chambord would be able to travel a long distance instantly and attack enemies from their back.

After spending half an hour, Fei already figured out the details of the teleportation array, including the materials used and their sizes.

After calculating the time, he knew that there was only one hour left. Fei didn’t continue to kill monsters; instead, he went into the mysterious stone room and found Akara and Cain who were studying [Demon King’s Wisdom]. He quickly told them about how the teleportation array was constructed.

“What? Is that it?…… No wonder……” Akara had an epiphany after hearing what Fei said, but she soon shook her head.

“What are you thinking about?” Fei frowned.

Cain had an epiphany as well and continued where Akara left off, “No wonder we couldn’t figure out the accurate spatial coordinates for the other side of the array. In fact, the teleportation arrays don’t use spatial coordinates! Haha! We got started on the wrong foot! How could we figure it out? Haha! Now with your explanation, I think we would be able to create such a teleportation array!”

Fei was excited.

“How sure?” he asked.

“How sure? 80% sure,” Akara replied as she quickly recorded down the theories Fei had observed. In the meantime, she hurried Cain and asked him to start refining their current design of the teleportation array. Cain had to translate the magic theories in Diablo World into the magic theories on Azeroth Continent; that was the only way to make sure that the teleportation arrays would work.

“80% sure?” Fei nodded. This probability was very high; it meant that it was very plausible.

Since the question that had bothered them for so long got answered, the two mad scientists fell into a state of excitement. They went back to their research and completely ignored the King who was the Supreme Leader of [Rogue Encampment] on paper. Fortunately, the King was already used to this type of treatment and didn’t find it awkward. As he patted his own head in self-mockery and was about to leave, Cain suddenly thought of something. He shouted, scratched his head, and threw three small circular black items to Fei. They were about the size of a child’s palm, and they looked like badges.

“I almost forgot. We created these gadgets unintentionally when we were studying the imprisonment ruins on the walls. They could help people who are below the realm of Sun-Class in the real world to hide their auras. Although they couldn’t be considered as God-tier items, they are interesting. Since you are such a prankster, I think they might be of use to you,” Cain said as he kept his focus on the work at hand and waved at Fei; it felt like he was asking Fei to GTFO so the King won’t get in their way.

“Huh? Interesting. Do they have a name?” Fei suddenly turned around and asked before stepping into the portal.

“Eh, no. You can name them. Also, get out of our faces! Don’t come here in three days to bother us!” Akara who was also in the zone said to him impatiently.

Fei was speechless……

……

Two days later.

Inside the underground ocean.

It was dark everywhere, and the silence in here seemed terrifying.

Although it was located about 400 meters below the ground, the ocean wasn’t calm. Dashes of undercurrents that had various speeds were in the ocean. The rapid ones could destroy metal swords, and the gentle ones felt like breezes.

Suddenly, a huge noise sounded.

The hard rock surface on top of the ocean suddenly exploded, and four figures penetrated through the ground and dashed into the ocean. Colorful Warrior Energy Flames appeared around them and created a ton of bubbles, and they dived into the water rapidly with powerful auras around them.

These four people weren’t weak; two of them were already peak Nine-Star Warriors and were only one step away from becoming Moon-Class Elites, and the other two were already Moon-Class Elites. Their powers were a little reserved, and it was evident that they were here for the Mythical Gate.

Their arrival destroyed the usual calmness of the ocean.

As if they were the first few drops of rain in a storm, more and more masters with powerful Warrior Energy and Magic Energy penetrated through the ground and entered the ocean. Instantly, the dark ocean was lit up; it looked like that many fireworks were being displayed, beautiful yet strange.

These masters had a high awareness of the surroundings. Except for the people who they came with, they kept a good distance from other parties as they dived down.

“Daniel, why don’t we enter through the water wells in Dual-Flags City? Why do we need to consume our Warrior Energy and pierce through 400 meters of land? It is not wise,” out of the four people who dived into the underground ocean first, a peak Nine-Star Warrior who had a huge scar on his face complained.

“Shut up!” a master beside him who was a level 3 low-tier New Moon Warrior looked around and shouted in a low voice, “What do you know? When the King of Chambord advanced into Moon-Class, the phenomenon created was insane! We don’t want to offend someone like him! He already locked down the water wells; if we entered without permission and triggered him, we might lose the privilege of entering the Mythical Gate! Look around! Which one of them entered through the water wells? Which one of them dares to offend the King of Chambord? Humph! There are a ton of masters around! If you say the wrong thing, don’t hate us for not protecting you!”

This man must have the highest status in the group. Although the man who got scolded was displeased and got a little angry, he lowered his head and didn’t dare to talk back.

At this moment, booming noises sounded.

Not too far above them, three figures appeared in the underground ocean in a dominating fashion. Their speed of diving was extremely fast.

Although there weren’t any Warrior Energy Flames around them, the cold water couldn’t get within two meters of them.

“They entered through the water wells? Such power! No wonder they aren’t worried about offending the King of Chambord!” All the masters in the region were shocked, and they avoided these three people as if they were poisonous snakes and didn’t want to create any conflicts with them. These people were the real masters and the main characters in this exploration inside the Mythical Palace.

There were only 30 minutes left before the opening of the Mythical Gate.
