Meet the principal

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 this trip. On the other hand, her classmate Darcy, except for responding a few words when asked, spent the rest of the time thinking or reading about himself. Bring notes.

Emilia 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 was flat with only a few mountains. Looking down, you could see The endless fields are gradually dyed with the color of harvest, but the city scenery passing by is completely different. Busy people are like ants, shuttling between rows of buildings.

At this time, 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 could be seen that the basic material of the ring was not stone, but metal, reflecting the dazzling sunlight and shining brightly 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 weathered the weather, and their appearance has long been damaged. It became mottled, but the metal arc was still bright and dazzling, without a single scratch.

"This is......"

It was the first time Emilia saw this kind of creation, and it was full of a sense of alienation that was incompatible with the 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.

But below the ring, the bustling city is bustling with people and bustling, exuding a worldly prosperity, no different from other cities.

The combination of the two contrasts strongly and is impressive.

"This is the Star Gate,

It was also my first time to see it so close. "

Jane 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 material it is made of does not belong to any known element. The mages have exhausted all kinds of materials. There was no way to remove even a speck 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 damage it at all. .

The mages cannot extract the material of the ring, and naturally they cannot study its composition. They cannot 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."

Jane suddenly shouted, causing the remaining three people to look in the direction of her finger.

It was a group of birds, arranging in formation and flying forward. This was a common scene, but the only difference was that in the direction of the birds' progress, 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, like water, and the birds burrowed into it. They didn't appear from the other end of the ring, and just disappeared out of thin air.

"Although I have long known that all objects can pass through the star gate, I never expected that it would be like this..."

Jane murmured to herself, looking at the Star Gate intently, as if trying to understand how it worked.

"Are all star gates like this?"

Emilia asked subconsciously, seeing this majestic giant thing that was completely unexplainable at the current level for the first time, she felt a lot of shock in her heart, and this emotion became stronger as the regular ship gradually approached the star gate.

"No, the star gate here in Brigitte is quite huge, while the star gates in some places are smaller. The smallest star gate currently known can only accommodate one person to pass through, just like a room 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 nature of star gates and feedback from the world are the same. They are strange things that are currently 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 too difficult to obtain progressing results.

"Are we going to go through 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. Mas.”

At this time, the notes compiled by Reiner came in handy.

Sedna is also a vast demiplane. 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, so Sedna is very A transfer station has been established a long time ago, where products from all demiplanes will be concentrated, and a huge market has 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."

Jane 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, where goods from hundreds of demi-planes are collected and distributed. Not only are there a wide variety of goods, but also the prices It’s affordable, and even if Lena doesn’t have anything to buy, I don’t mind spending half a day shopping there.

The scheduled 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."

Jane pointed to a strange-looking building in the distance and said.
