Alchemist Yuki's Strategy
Lesson 10: The Gate
We proceeded through the woods and passed where the walls were.
The walls had disappeared properly, so I tried to probe the ground pulse, but I couldn't feel it at all.
When I changed to a werewolf, I could feel it slightly, so if I was in a werewolf state, my sensory function would also improve.
The flow of the ground vein was returning to normal objects.
In other words, that wall is such a powerful magical connection that my performance cannot even feel it.
If we can figure them out, it will be possible to lift the restrictions on its own.
"You made me wait, shall we go first?"
"What were you doing?
"I'm just exploring the ground."
"... haha, you... good, keep going, I'll chase you"
"? Right, let's go"
"Ooh."
I don't know how good it is, but it seems to have come together by saying that we will move on anyway.
◇
Going all the way through the woods, the woods suddenly opened.
"Well, that's fantastic inside."
"This is a ruin... Hmm, there's a gate over there, let's go"
The ruins were not that wide, and the great gates were so close that they could be seen from here.
As I approached there, as soon as I entered the site of the ruins, I sensed some strange magic.
If you look closely, the ruins appear to have a thin junction.
To say that we were able to pass normally would mean that this junction exists to separate players from something else.
Perhaps it is a demon, that is, this is a safe zone.
Going to the front of the gate, there was one giant gate and six circular stages around it.
"This is... what facility?
Tak is right, what would be the only facility for this?
This gate and stage are connected, to be seen from shapes, magic formations, and magic letters.
In the middle of the stage is a pedestal, which appears to be a vessel with a magical formation.
When you put a magic object on the pedestal, the pedestal absorbs the magic from it and connects it to the gate.
Next, touch and see close to the gate, werewolve and strengthen your senses, and extend your awareness deep into the gate.
"... Hmm, as good as it gets..."
"You figured something out?
"Yeah, succinctly, this is a metastatic device (...)"
"What?"
There's no doubt about it, I could grasp the concept thanks to watching Grandpa's metastatic magic.
This gate is connected to the ground vein, and it is a mechanism to activate the transfer by lifting the magic from the ground vein into the calling water using the magic transmitted from the pedestal.... should be.
The problem is that it is different from your grandfather's.
Perhaps this means that it is connected to another transfer device, meaning that it cannot jump anywhere.
"Hmm, looks like this isn't working yet."
"Well, then we'll have no choice."
"Tak, if you find the same thing as this, you can come and go here if you put a demon stone on that pedestal and remember, just remember."
I thought it would help with the offense, so I told Tak.
"... that reminds me, I've seen the same one before, I'm sure."
When Tak said that, he started talking.
First of all, why did Tak have a ton of this game, it seems because Tak played the beta version of this game and contributed there.
Tak once told me to solve a hidden problem in the footage of this game, but that was the key to playing the beta version.
Reasonably, Tak's test score for the first semester was a little bad, I guess he concentrated on the beta version at that time.
In that beta version, the starting point was like a ruin, and the golems lived there instead of people?
He completely forgot that the gate was inside the ruins, especially since it didn't mean there was anything.
"Well, let's give it a try"
"Yeah, but that's what we talked about when we were in beta, right?
When I removed the Demon Crystal from the inventory, I placed it on the pedestal. Enough for magic.
"Then Tak, remember"
"Ooh."
When I said that, Tak meditated his eyes.
Then, the magic formation starts immediately, and the magic of the Demonic Crystal is sucked out, passing to the gate and the magic is lifted from the ground vein.
Out of the gate, the raised radiant magic flows out, and those lights surround the stage.
As soon as the light covered the stage, the stage at his feet emitted a suddenly strong light and his vision was painted white.
Is that a success?
◇
When his vision was restored, there were large ruins spread out there.
It is a success.
