Chapter 1768 - 1191: Looking Forward to His Future
Hidden Land, Temple.
When Reiger returned here through the [Portal], what came into his view was a solemn temple, yet some parts had already collapsed and turned into ruins.
The people of the temple were hurrying in and out, and by the looks of it, quite a few were injured and needed treatment.
The High Priest stood at the entrance of the temple, serenely directing people, ensuring that despite their haste, there was no panic.
Reiger looked at the ruined areas, his brow slightly furrowing, and walked toward the High Priest’s location.
"You’re back?"
The High Priest seemed to have noticed Reiger’s return, speaking calmly.
"Was there an invasion?" Reiger ignored the High Priest’s inquiry and bluntly asked, "Where are they?"
"They’ve already fled." The High Priest shrugged nonchalantly, "I used teleportation magic to rush back as soon as I got the message, but I was still a step too late."
"They not only used the teleportation magic array to leave but also destroyed the array."
"So, we can’t even pursue them."
Though that’s what he said, the High Priest clearly didn’t feel frustrated.
Because the loss wasn’t significant.
Although many were injured, almost no one died.
Thus, even though there was an invasion and the teleportation magic array was destroyed, such a small loss was clearly within the High Priest’s acceptable range.
But Reiger was not in a good mood.
After all, Charity had already said that the purpose of the Saint Temple this time was to destroy the magic array used to teleport to the outside world in the Hidden Land and to find an item.
The High Priest didn’t mention which teleportation magic array was destroyed, but even with his toes, Reiger knew that the destroyed array must be the one used to teleport to the outside world.
In other words...
"We can’t leave the Hidden Land?"
"Yes."
"...Is there no way to repair it?"
"Not exactly, but it requires materials and time."
"What materials? How long?"
"We have the materials, and we are not lacking for time."
"Just tell me, how long?"
"At the earliest, one year."
"..."
The fluent conversation only deepened the furrow in Reiger’s brow.
He didn’t feel that the High Priest was speaking nonsense.
That was not an ordinary teleportation magic array, but one used to cross dimensions. Even if it could be repaired, it would not be easy.
The Hidden Land has no shortage of materials for repairing magic arrays, and the temple is the highest authority here, able to find any materials they need and even cultivate them themselves, even those ancient precious materials no longer found in the outside world.
But, it’s well known that a teleportation magic array of that level and scale, even with ample materials and means, would be very difficult to repair, and a year is by no means a short time.
However, Reiger did not plan to stay in the Hidden Land for at least a year.
The entire time he spent in the Akasha continent, how long was it in total?
Staying here for more than a year would undoubtedly be a waste of life.
Besides, since the Saint Temple went through great lengths to infiltrate the Hidden Land and the temple, just to destroy a teleportation magic array, making it impossible for the Hidden Land to enter the Akasha continent for the next year, Reiger definitely did not think there wasn’t more behind it.
"Is there no other way?"
Reiger could only ask this question.
"No." The High Priest was straightforward, "There is only one teleportation magic array that can transport us to the outside world, and it was built by the priests during the Ancient Magic Civilization Period. In the entire Hidden Land, it’s considered an antique. You should be glad we still have records of such things and knowledge to build teleportation magic arrays, otherwise, you’d spend the rest of your life in this Hidden Land."
At this, the High Priest actually laughed.
"Of course, I wouldn’t mind at all."
Of course, you wouldn’t mind.
If Reinnaier’s lineage could stay in the Hidden Land for a lifetime and even reproduce here, you’d be more than happy for such a thing to happen.
Reiger cast an expressionless glance at the High Priest, moving on from this topic.
"Apart from the teleportation magic array, didn’t you lose anything else?"
These words made the High Priest look deeply at Reiger for a moment.
"It seems you know the origins and intentions of those people."
The High Priest said meaningfully.
"They come from an organization called the Saint Temple." Reiger didn’t hide anything on this aspect, "Have you heard of it?"
"The Saint Temple?" The High Priest retracted his smile and furrowed his eyebrows, "The name suggests some kind of connection with my temple, but that doesn’t mean much."
"I’ve never heard of such an organization, but since it carries the name ’Saint’, it should be quite a special organization."
"And with that abyssal aura..."
The High Priest’s murmur made Reiger narrow his eyes.
"You mean that this organization might be related to another world?"
Reiger had also considered this.
The word ’Saint’ might not be all that special in this world, mostly linked to the highest honor of a Swordsman, the Sword Saint.
But in the Source World, it’s not so simple.
Because it’s directly tied to the pinnacle existences in the Source World.
