Hail the King

After hearing what Fei said, they both gasped and grabbed onto an armrest each to study.

There were magic runes engraved on each armrest, and they looked like the product of grandmasters. Each of the engravings followed the natural texture of the throne, and they were well hidden as if they were a natural part of the throne. Unless a master carefully studied the armrests, he or she wouldn’t be able to discover them.

“What kind of runes are these” Cain exclaimed, “I have never seen these before! I couldn’t understand the principles behind them…… Simple magic principles couldn’t explain some of the magic engravings. They are different from the magic structure in Diablo World and the real world!”

Akara frowned and added, “Just like the material of this throne, these runes aren’t even recorded in books…… They are similar to the runes in this stone room but more advanced…… Could they be……”

“Could it be that they are the legendary godly runes?”

As if the two mad scientists thought of something, they both yelled with excitement on their faces. Their old bodies even started to shake.

Godly runes!

They were the writings of the real gods!

It was heard that anyone who understood and comprehended the godly runes would be able to create, alter, and change the natural laws in the world! They could even create a new species if they wanted to! If an average person learned the godly runes, he or she would be able to battle against ultimate masters!

The two mad scientists entered a berserk mode. They found a pen and a board to record down the runes in details.

These two held a sacred attitude toward magic.

Their hands that were shivered a moment ago were now stable and controlled as soon as they grabbed onto the pen and the carving knife. They looked like warriors who were holding onto their weapons before a huge battle. As they started to record down the runes, a slight energy surge could be sensed on them.

Although the runes on the armrests were smaller than the size of two palms, they were extremely complex, and there were a ton of magic engravings contained in them. Although Akara and Cain could be considered as masters in this field, they had to be careful and pay a lot of attention to what they were doing.

Fei observed them for a while and found it boring.

After yawning, he started to wander around the stone room.

Compared with before, this stone room was completely reorganized. All the random stuff in the room was placed in a corner, and 16 huge bookshelves were placed by the wall in the south. There were more than 1,000 books in these two mad scientists’ collections, and [Demon King’s Wisdom] was placed at an eye-catching spot.

Three meters to these bookshelves, there was a strangely-shaped station.

The busty beauty, Charsi, created this station, and Fei had a lot of inputs in it as well. He borrowed some concepts from his previous world and gave this station more than 20 tabletops that were of various sizes. On the tabletops, there were all kinds of bottles and jars giving off unique and weird smells.

This station occupied about one-fourth the area of the stone room.

The golden skeleton that also came with the room occupied another one-fourth of the room.

This skeleton was untouchable! Fei couldn’t get within ten meters of it, so he could only stand there and watch it.

Other than that, there was also another small room built within the stone room. It was made from [Black Stone Essences] and [Demons’ Remains]. It was sturdy and durable, and it was the testing room for a lot of dangerous experiments.

This stone room was divided into many functional areas, and it looked very scientific. All in all, it was a perfect laboratory.

“Huh? What is that?”

Fei’s eyes suddenly focused on a small stone plate that had a diameter of two meters and a thickness of 30 centimeters.

When he got closer to it, he realized that this stone plate on the ground was made from six different kinds of materials. Five of them connected and formed a circle, and the sixth material was placed in the center of the circle. The six pieces of stone materials had a ton of magic runes on them, and a silver metal connected them; it was giving off a mystic glare.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. After listening to you last time, we ran many experiments and finally understood the principles behind long-distance teleportation arrays. In your words, it is a…… eh, it is a small portable long-distance teleportation station. It is still a prototype, and it could only teleport three to four people within 100 kilometers……”

After hearing Fei’s surprised gasp, Cain, who was copying down the mysterious runes on the stone throne, looked up proudly and said as if he was showing off.

However, Akara instantly stared at him, and he went back to the great project of copying down the runes.

“It is made?”

Fei was thrilled. This item came just in time. He had been investing in these two mad scientists, and he finally saw returns. As he looked at the stone plate in front of him, green lights shone in his eyes.

In less than four minutes, the king took it apart and put it back together more than a dozen times. After getting familiar with the process, he put the four sets of teleportation stations into his storage ring.

Since Akara and Cain only copied less than 10% of the runes on the mysterious throne, Fei knew what was up and left with Elena quietly.

……

The first thing Fei did when he returned was to test the long-distance teleportation station.

Fei took out the components and put two teleportation stations together in the watchtower on the west gate. After he placed a magic gem into each of the core sections of the stations, five blue magic energy flames appeared by the edges of each station as buzzing noises sounded.

They were identical to the portals in Diablo World.

Since the long-distance teleportation stations were prototypes, he didn’t get other people to test them. Instead, he placed the two stations 100 meters apart and decided to check them out himself.

After he took a deep breath, he stepped onto the teleportation station to the right of the watchtower.

Buzz……

As the familiar cold and gravityless sensation emerged, Fei’s eyes lit up as he appeared on the teleportation station 100 meters away in the next moment.

He traveled across 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

The entire process was identical to the ancient portals in Diablo World, and it meant that the products from ‘Mad Scientists Magic Laboratory’ were trustworthy. The users wouldn’t be negatively affected by the portals and wouldn’t be lost in the void.

“But why do I feel like something is missing?”

Fei rubbed his chin and wondered.

It wasn’t about safety but functionality.

“Oh right! It is missing a dial system!”

As if a light bulb lit up in his head, he suddenly realized where the issue was.

The portals in Diablo World would offer the user a selection screen before teleportation so that the user could choose where to go. However, the portable long-distance teleportation station in front of Fei lacked this feature. Before Fei could make any choices, he was teleported to the other station.

“Hmmmm…… This item still needs some improvements. Otherwise, it will be quite chaotic.”

Fei thought for a while and didn’t know what would happen if he constructed four stations. Which one of the stations would he be teleported to?

After discovering this flaw, Fei decided not to show off this product to his subordinates.

Of course, it didn’t mean that Fei wasn’t going to use it. This long-distance teleportation station was something that even a lot of the super powerful empires didn’t have. If it were used correctly, it would be very effective in critical situations.

In addition, since Akara and Cain had already created the prototype, it wouldn’t be too hard to refine. In fact, the king already came up with a potential solution: magic frequencies.

If each station could come with its unique magic frequency like the cell phone numbers on Earth, it would be easy to connect to the right station.

……

Nothing special happened in the next few days.

The three people of the Black-Cloth Shrine didn’t come to visit Fei, but he knew that they were still inside Dual-Flags City, waiting for his answer.

Also, Bishop Boyd of the church in the city also didn’t jump out to bother him.

Undead Bone Dragon Arthur was still wandering around and would appear sometimes. Most of the time, he was drinking at the bars and pubs.

After the incident at the Mayor’s Mansion, this little guy swore that he was going to stop drinking. However, it was clearly not happening. Fei had been wondering where the liquor would go since this little guy was only a bone dragon and didn’t have internal organs.

In these few days, Fei had combined some of the high-level combat techniques he got from the [Martial Statues] in the Mythical Palace and the techniques he got from [Demon King’s Sword]. After refining them, he taught them to the warriors of Chambord.
