What Old Galen said was not empty talk, he really had the ability to restore the teleportation array.
Or rather, he didn't destroy the teleportation array in the first place, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
It was a huge magic circle drawn under the Imperial Court Prison. Every line in the magic circle was a narrow groove carved on the hard stone slab. Considering the solidity of the stone slab, the old and weak Gallon could not cause much damage to it even with tools.
And what Gallon called destruction was nothing more than selecting a few of the countless grooves, and then using a carving knife to carve a few more tiny scratches at an inconspicuous position at the bottom.
But these few tiny scratches are enough to make this magic circle permanently ineffective.
“This is a magic circle used by the rainforest tribes in the Age of Life for ultra-long-distance hunting. After the demise of civilization in the last age, few people knew about it.
The reason why this array was collected by the empire was not for strategic purposes, but for the royal family to use...
Punish the blasphemers."
Old Galen found some loess from the prison above the magic circle, and mixed it into a lump of mud to paste on the cracks he carved, while panting and explaining:
"According to records, the other end of the magic circle should be a gathering place for apes. The people of the rainforest tribes hunt them for food. In today's world where [Decay] is prevalent, it is regarded as a place of exile for blasphemers.
His Majesty will exile there those who have angered him... and blasphemed our Lord, to live in fear of unknown creatures.
That's why His Majesty brought the guards with him during this escape. Otherwise, the royal family, without any divine protection, would probably just become food for those ape creatures.
And this is why I stayed. I couldn’t provide combat power for the fleeing royal family, but I had to take care of Ailian, a child they regarded as a burden. In order to keep Ailian alive, I…”
"......"
The three people present were speechless. They did not think that the escape of the Rossner royal family was disgraceful, but they thought that old Galen's idea was too naive.
How could a child who had lost his support be protected by such a treacherous royal family?
The best ending for the child named Ailian is that she really possesses a God-given [Dagger]. Only in this way, under the protection of the so-called dagger that can communicate, she may still have a chance to survive.
But if something unexpected happened before she took the dagger away, and the dagger ended up somewhere else, then there was no doubt that the child without parental protection would be abandoned as a burden the moment she was teleported there.
Cheng Shi didn't believe that the historian didn't think of this. He probably had no other choice but to try his last chance.
Old Gallon hadn't finished speaking yet. He hunched over and continued:
"And the method of using this teleportation array is..."
"Blood?" Dayi suddenly interrupted.
In fact, it is not surprising that Dayi thought so, because there were dried bloodstains everywhere on the magic circle, and there were even a few buckets of residual blood on the edge of the magic circle. It was obvious that the scene had been filled with a huge amount of blood.
Combined with the grooves on the magic circle and the prison on the upper layer of the magic circle that is comparable to purgatory on earth, the first reaction of a normal person would be: blood is the activation material of this magic circle.
But this is where old Galen is smart. Although he cannot guarantee whether the Rossner royal family will save his Ellen, he can ensure that he will defend this pass and will never let a Destroyer go to chase the fleeing army.
Because this blood...was originally one of his means to destroy this magic circle!
“No, sir, this blood is a means of contaminating the magic circle.
Although the Rainforest Tribe that believes in [Prosperity] does not forbid killing, they do not like to use blood to inspire the might of God. I spilled this blood here to confuse the sight and hearing of the Destroyers so that they cannot activate this teleportation array. "
"..." Dayi shut up. He glanced at Qu Yan beside him. For the first time, he felt that believing in [silence] was sometimes a good thing. At least it wouldn't embarrass him suddenly.
Cheng Shi snorted and laughed, and asked:
“So in order to activate this magic circle, we need to clean up the blood?
I see how carefully you have mended these shallow scratches. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a rule related to the volume of the activated object. Even the slightest difference will lead to a huge mistake. Even if this activated object is not blood, it should be a liquid related to "prosperity".
This reminds me of an old friend and some things that happened long ago.
Interesting, in an age of decay, using a prosperous magic circle as a place of punishment, the piety of you Rosnar people is... unique."
The two people standing behind Cheng Shi were very conscious. When they heard that the bloodstains needed to be cleaned up, they took action. While cleaning, they did not forget to guess in their hearts what kind of person the old friend that Mr. Lingshi remembered was.
But what they didn't know was that Cheng Shi didn't have such an old friend at all. These were just some little lies he made up to keep up appearances.
He mixed the false past with the history he knew, telling stories that were half true and half false, confusing the two people in front of him, so as to maintain his mystery.
But his guess was not false. After observing for a long time, he made the most correct inference about the teleportation array. When he heard that Cheng Shi had seen through the mystery of the array, Old Galen became even more respectful.
Not only was he respectful, but a slight fear also rose in his heart. He really wanted to save the child, but he didn't have the ability to do so.
