Chapter 198 Continuous Transmission
Three days later, Saint Villiers School of Magic will no longer accept new students!
Shu Li and his friends were stunned.
If they took the sea route, it would take at least a week to reach Igya City, and they would definitely miss the start of school. It looked like they had no choice but to use the teleportation array.
Even the wisest man makes a thousand plans, but he is bound to make mistakes.
No matter how carefully they thought about it, they had not anticipated the rules for admitting new students to the magic academy.
If there were no teleportation array, would they have missed school this year?
After discussion, Team Light changed their plans and reluctantly took the teleportation array. Money lost could be earned again, but missing this year's enrollment would delay them for a whole year.
They originally wanted to go to the best restaurant in Višeš for a meal after buying the map, but now, in order to save money, they had to settle for the next best thing and asked the guide to take them to a relatively affordable small restaurant for lunch.
It’s no secret that the chef in this restaurant is a good cook. The roasted meat was spiced and tasted really good. Amanda finished half of the roasted lamb in one go.
After dinner, they were not in the mood to go shopping, so they asked Yori to take them directly to the teleportation array site.
Each person spent fifty silver coins to board a rail bus. Powered by the Philosopher's Stone, it was stable, fast, and environmentally friendly.
The magic apprentices sat by the window and enjoyed the scenery of Vichy as the rail bus moved.
Magnificent buildings, spacious squares, solemn statues, towering towers, huge clocks, clear rivers... the beautiful scenery is in full view, which is refreshing and pleasant to watch.
"I wonder if Igya City is as beautiful as this place." Angel sighed.
"Igya City is the main city of the Central Courtyard. It's a hundred times better than this place," Yori said. "I guarantee that once you've visited, you won't want to leave."
After hearing what he said, Team Light was full of anticipation for Igya City.
"Since you've been there, why did you leave?" Budno asked innocently.
"Uh..." Yori stroked his mustache and said awkwardly, "Eggya City is nice, but it's hard for non-magicians to make a living there. It's better to come here and be a guide, where you can earn more."
"Oh, so that's it!" Budno stretched out his fingers to help him calculate. "As a guide, I earn one gold coin a day, which makes thirty gold coins a month, and a year..."
Yori quickly interrupted him. "There are many guides in the city, and they're always competing for customers. Earning five gold coins a month is good."
After saying this, he winked at Budno.
There were other passengers in the carriage, most of them locals. If they knew that it was easy for guides to make money, they would have more competitors in the future.
These guides all have a tacit understanding among themselves that they will never tell others how much money they can earn in a month.
Budno received his hint, stuck out his tongue, and turned his head to continue looking at the scenery outside the window.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Arriving at the station, the rail bus sounded a reminder bell.
As the car door opened, the magic apprentices followed Yori out.
"Look, sirs, that's the teleportation array site." Yori raised his hand and pointed at the tower in front.
The tower stood about twenty meters tall, its summit adorned with a giant magic stone that shone brilliantly in the sunlight. Its sides were covered in magical patterns, shimmering with light. Inside, a teleportation array was located. People lined up in an orderly fashion, paying a teleportation fee to the magician at the gate before entering.
Most of those who walked through the teleportation array were wealthy people in bright clothes, adventurers with advanced equipment, and impressive mercenary groups.
Yori sent the magic apprentices here and successfully completed the guide mission.
Team Light thanked him and walked towards the tower with their heads held high.
After deciding to use the teleportation array, they carefully studied the route, starting from Vishishi City, passing through Balai City, Holu City, Sampeng City, and finally arriving at Igya City.
Now, they are going to teleport to Balai City.
The teleportation array can transport twenty people at a time and is activated once every fifteen minutes. When the teleportation array is activated, the entire tower lights up with brilliant light, and each magic pattern rotates, gathering light onto the magic stone at the top. In an instant, a beam of light rushes out of the tower and reaches the sky.
When Shu Li and his friends were queuing up, they saw the teleportation array activated and were deeply shocked by the energy released by the advanced magic array.
Is this the teleportation array developed by the human God of Law and the Saint of Law?
So awesome!
Having said that, among fairies and elves, there are many gods and saints of magic, and countless of them are proficient in magic circles. Why haven't they developed a teleportation array?
If we build a teleportation array between the Elf City and the sacred tree, we won’t have to fly for half a day every Midsummer Festival.
The same question that Shu Li thought of was also thought of by the other little fairies, and they all showed puzzled expressions.
Dixie: "The teleportation array is so convenient."
Angel: "It's just that the cost of teleporting once is too high."
Budno: “Will it spread to other countries and regions?”
Amanda: "If it becomes widespread, we'll be able to travel the entire continent."
Kumandi looked up at the pillar of light rising into the sky and frowned. "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to spread it across the entire continent."
Shu Li asked in confusion, "Why?"
Why not do something that benefits the entire continent?
"The geographical location between countries is crucial," said Ace. "Natural barriers like mountains, grasslands, canyons, rivers, swamps, and deserts protect national security to a certain extent. The widespread use of teleportation arrays is equivalent to breaking down these barriers. If war breaks out, it will bring devastating disaster to the country."
The simple little elf and little dragon suddenly understood.
They have no concept of the nation and cannot think of this at all.
As a princess of a fallen nation, Nasha was extremely sensitive to national security. After hearing Ace's analysis, she wholeheartedly agreed. "Ace is right. The king is desperate to deploy troops along the border to prevent foreign invasion. He absolutely will not allow the teleportation array to reach every city in the country."
Because the country of Pedam was short of troops, it was suppressed by the country of Cecilia and eventually its country was destroyed.
Whenever Nasha thought of her father, the king, and her mother, whose lives were unknown, hatred welled up in her. She clenched her fists, trying to suppress the hatred in her heart.
Shu Li originally thought that the teleportation array was similar to the "airport" in the original world. There were flights in every city in every country, and as long as the countries were friendly, they could travel to each other.
However, there is no peace in the other world. Countries are on guard against each other and are always vigilant to prevent invasion by other countries.
It seems that it is a luxury to popularize the teleportation array throughout the continent. Let's see whether the magic god Danlov has the ability to convince the kings of various countries.
Half an hour later, it was finally their turn to pay.
Led by Shu Li, each member of Team Light reluctantly took out a hundred gold coins.
The magician who collected the money saw that they were counting the money slowly and frowned to remind them: "Hurry up, there are still many people waiting in line behind you."
"Oh, sorry." Shu Li put a hundred gold coins on the money-collecting machine. The machine had a built-in magic circle. After sensing the gold coins, it immediately displayed the number of gold coins.
The number one hundred flashed by, and the barrier was lifted to let people pass.
After Shu Li went in, the railing immediately returned to its original position.
A bit smart!
Shu Li stood there waiting for his teammates, watching them take out money and put it on the machine one by one. A minute later, the Light Team gathered and entered the hall of the teleportation array.
"Wow--"
Shu Li and his friends exclaimed, their eyes wide open as they stared at the ground covered in magic stones. No wonder they charged a hundred gold coins per person. There were thousands of high-level magic stones alone, and the intricate patterns on the formations were dazzling.
I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all, it's too profound.
No wonder Ilio said that human magicians like to research and create, which is worthy of learning from goblins and elves.
Shu Li's heart was pounding with excitement, and she couldn't wait to go to the magic academy.
"Customers heading to Balai City please enter the No. 1 teleportation array as soon as possible." The magician who was controlling the teleportation array nearby reminded loudly.
The magic apprentices did not dare to hesitate and followed the other passengers into the No. 1 teleportation array. When the number of people reached twenty, the controlling magician pulled down the switch. In an instant, the high-level magic stone in the teleportation array released energy, and the patterns lit up with dazzling light. Everyone closed their eyes involuntarily.
Shu Li felt as if his body was weightless and he was dizzy. Before he could react, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared and a sweet voice rang in his ears.
"Welcome everyone to Balai City—"
He opened his eyes and saw a completely different decoration in the hall.
"Already... here? So fast!" Amanda was stunned. Faster than a dragon!
"Where are the one hundred gold coins!" Angel touched the storage bag hanging around his waist.
"It's really fast. It's a combination of space magic and teleportation magic." Ace's green eyes turned slightly, sweeping across the teleportation magic circle on the ground with fading light, and instantly saw through the complex and profound patterns.
"Can teleportation cover more than a hundred kilometers?" As an intermediate-level wizard, Shu Li can only teleport ten meters at most.
"In theory, the higher the magic level, the farther the teleportation distance," Kumandi said. "According to the book, a magic saint can teleport up to a thousand meters."
"Where is the God of Law?" asked Desio.
Kumandi shook his head. "The book doesn't say a specific number. Maybe two thousand meters, maybe three thousand meters, but it definitely can't be more than a hundred kilometers."
Shu Li rolled his blue-gray eyes. He decided to return to Elfland and ask the Elf King how far he could teleport.
Budno asked, "Shall we continue the transmission?"
Shu Li nodded: "Let's go!"
Since I have spent the money, I might as well spend it all. I will teleport to Igya City in one breath and report to the Saint Virya Magic Academy as soon as possible.
Then, the eight young magic apprentices took out a hundred gold coins again with great pain, handed them to the magician who was charging the fee, and stepped into the teleportation array to Holu City.
After arriving in Holu City, they did not stop, but continued to pay and enter the teleportation array to Sangpeng City.
"Welcome everyone to Sangpeng City—"
After hearing the sweet reminder, Team Light left the teleportation array, numbly paid the money, and headed to Igya City.
As the beam of light broke through the sky, the teleportation array was activated.
The tower in the center of Igya City was crowded with travelers using the teleportation array. Team Light had just come out and was almost squeezed apart.
As expected of the most prosperous city in the atrium, high-level magicians can be seen everywhere, all of them wearing gorgeous magic robes, holding high-level magic wands, and they are extraordinary and elegant.
Shu Li and her friends held hands and followed the crowd, finally leaving the tower gate.
"Phew—I was almost crushed." Budno patted his chest.
"We are all rich!" Angel said with emotion.
"And our purses are almost empty." Discio frowned as he covered his storage bag.
"We have to find a way to make money quickly," Kumandi said. "Let's go buy a map first."
Nasha asked, "Is there a guide here?"
Maps are useful, but it is more convenient to have a guide.
Ace said, "It costs money to hire a guide."
Shu Li quickly shook his head: "Let's buy a map!"
A map only costs ten silver coins, while hiring a guide costs one gold coin. It is obvious which one is cheaper.
Anyway, there is plenty of time. There are still two hours before dark, which is enough for them to find the magic academy.
He looked around, trying to find a local to ask where he could buy a map, when suddenly he saw an "acquaintance".
