Greetings, Mister Principal: Stargate
After an uneventful night, the four of them spent the night at the relatively simple reception of the Magic Association. Early the next morning, they took a regular ship to Brigid at Camilo Airport.
Along the way, Jane was obviously more excited and kept talking about the trip. On the other hand, her classmate Darcy, except for responding a few words when asked, spent the rest of the time thinking. Or read the notes you brought.
Almiya still had nothing to say. She spent most of her time looking out the window. Under the flowing clouds, the vast land stretched infinitely. The Kingdom of Astor had a flat terrain, with only a few continuous mountains. Looking down, You can see the endless fields gradually turning into the color of harvest, but the city scenery passing by is completely different. Busy people are like ants, shuttled between row upon row of buildings.
At this moment, Emilia saw a building.
It's more of a giant ring than a building.
The ring appeared abruptly on the ground and was incompatible with the surrounding scenery. It can be seen that the basic material of the ring is not stone, but metal. It reflects the dazzling sunlight and shines in the sun.
Unlike other metal products, this ring has no trace of metal splicing on the outside. It is completely natural and makes people marvel at its craftsmanship.
The ring is a hundred meters high, with enough space for the largest aerospace craft to shuttle around at will. There is a small arc below that is buried underground. You can see that at the bottom of the arc, people have built stone bases. These buildings have withstood the weather. , the appearance has long become mottled, but the metal arc is still bright and dazzling, without a trace of scratches.
"This is..."
The first time Emilia saw this kind of creation, she was filled with a sense of alienation that was incompatible with her surroundings. Almost immediately, she thought of what it was.
"Stargate."
Reiner also saw the towering ring and the city built around it.
This is a very strange scene.
Under the noon sun, the huge metal ring reflects the sunlight and glows with iridescence. It is solemn and silent, highlighting a sense of transcendence that does not belong to this era.
Below the ring, the bustling city is bustling with people and bustling with excitement, exuding a worldly prosperity that is no different from other cities.
The combination of the two contrasts strongly and is impressive.
"This is the Star Gate. This is my first time to see it so close."
Jian came to the window and said excitedly.
"This ring building has existed since before the establishment of the ancient Magic Empire. No one can tell who built it and why. The materials used for it do not belong to any known element. The mages have exhausted I tried all kinds of methods, but couldn't even remove even a little bit of powder from the ring."
Perhaps this is the reason why the ring is so flawless. Even if a high-level mage uses the most powerful spells, it is difficult to leave a trace on the ring. Naturally, the wind and frost of these thousands of years cannot have any effect on it. A little bit of damage.
The mages cannot extract the material of the ring, and naturally they cannot study its composition. They can't get any valuable clues just by observing the surface.
It cannot be analyzed, cannot be created, and cannot be destroyed. It stands on the earth. Although the Star Gate has given the mages endless convenience, it is still the biggest unsolved problem deep in the heart of every mage.
For mages, the most terrifying thing is not the unknown, but the unknowable.
"Look."
Jian suddenly shouted, causing the remaining three people to look in the direction of her finger.
It was a group of birds, flying forward in formation. This was a common scene, but the only difference was that in the direction where the birds were heading, the Star Gate stood here.
Reiner opened his eyes slightly and saw that the birds had no intention of taking a detour and just flew towards the ring resolutely. Soon, they touched the cross section of the ring.
There seemed to be some ripples in the space, just like the water surface. The birds burrowed into it and disappeared out of thin air without appearing from the other end of the ring.
"Although I have long known that all objects can pass through the star gate, I never expected that it would be like this..."
Jian murmured to himself, looking at the star gate intently, as if wanting to understand how it worked.
"Are all star gates like this?"
Almiya asked subconsciously. It was the first time she saw this majestic giant thing that was completely unexplainable at the current level. She felt a lot of shock in her heart. This emotion became more and more intense as the regular ship gradually approached the star gate. Get intense.
"No, the star gate here in Brigitte is quite huge, while the star gates in some places are even smaller. The smallest star gate currently known can only accommodate one person to pass through, just like a Door."
Darcy suddenly spoke at this time and said a series of words. Obviously, he was also shocked by the grandeur of the Star Gate, but the difference was that he had read information about the Star Gate before, and now he was more thinking.
The essence of star gates is the same as feedback from the world. It is a strange thing that is difficult to study in the mage world. Every year, there are very few papers on these, not because there are few people studying them, but because it is really difficult to get progress. Too difficult.
"Are we going to wear this?"
Emilia Jane was in a daze, watching the star gate gradually approaching, and was even more impressed by its hugeness.
“Brigit’s star gate does not lead directly to Erasmus, but to Sedna, a demiplane with seven star gates. After passing through Sedna, it leads to Erasmus."
At this time, the notes compiled by Reiner came in handy.
Sedna is also a vast demiplane~IndoMTL.com~According to calculations, it is about the size of two kingdoms of Astor. There are seven star gates in the demiplane, leading to different demiplanes. Therefore, Sedna established a transfer station very early. The products of each demiplane would be concentrated here, and a huge market was gradually formed.
"Well, I also heard the teacher mention the itinerary. We will go through the Star Gate to Sedna this afternoon, and we will not officially leave for Erasmus until the day after tomorrow, so we can stay in the market for a while."
Jian nodded, seeming to be quite interested in things like markets. Should we say that all women like shopping?
Reiner is also somewhat interested in Sedna's market, because according to the description, it is the largest market in the entire plane. Goods from hundreds of demi-planes are collected and distributed there. Not only is there a wide variety of goods , and the price is affordable. Even if Lena has nothing to buy, he doesn’t mind spending half a day shopping there.
The regular ship landed slowly. After everyone arrived at the port, they once again looked up at the huge star gate that was beyond ordinary people's knowledge.
"Teacher and the others should have arrived. Let's meet at the Demiplane Entry and Exit Management Center."
Jian pointed to a strange-looking building in the distance and said.
