Although the Holy Sword Moslo has been passed down and Liz, the last descendant of the Leiner Eir family, has miraculously survived to the modern age eleven thousand years later, the dinsional cube that would allow the Leiner Eir family to perform Dinsional Travel and return to the source has sohow found its way to , residing in my mind.
Without the dinsional cube, even if the last descendant of the Leiner Eir family can awaken the Holy Sword Moslo, they won’t be able to return to the source and save their people from crisis.
Their hope is destined to beco a delusion, a future that can never be awaited.
"Humans always cling to a thread of hope at the brink of despair, even if that hope is distant and unreachable." Reiger said facing Malfoy’s gaze, "Just like the life in the source, for eleven thousand years, hasn’t it been holding onto hope, waiting for the next savior to arrive?"
Malfoy suddenly stopped speaking.
lo, Naisa, and others also fell silent, looking at Reiger sitting before them, not speaking for a long ti.
The aning Reiger wanted to convey was already clear; rather than believing "that empire" would walk into destruction holding onto endless despair, he’d rather believe they kept hoping until the end, waiting for the arrival of soone who is destined never to co.
"Tell ." Reiger said very calmly, "What is the thod to cross Nanierga?"
Malfoy still didn’t answer but continued to gaze at Reiger, as if trying to see through his intentions.
Reiger did not avoid Malfoy’s gaze, just sat there, always with a calm expression.
Just as Reiger thought Malfoy might ask him what he really wanted to do, why he wanted to cross Nanierga and enter that dangerous Black Land, the old dwarf surprisingly stood up directly.
"Follow ."
Malfoy turned around and walked outside.
Reiger didn’t waste words, stood up directly, and followed Malfoy.
lo, Naisa, and others saw this, with a look of wanting to say sothing but ultimately decided to remain silent, first following to see what happens.
Thus, a group of people had just arrived here not long ago and imdiately left, heading in another direction of this underground city.
...
This is the deepest part of the underground city located in the dwarf tribe’s garrison area.
The so-called deepest part does not refer to the position, but to the height.
The dwarf tribe’s underground city is situated above the magma zone, and its position is right at the center.
Yet under Malfoy’s lead, Reiger and others ca to the very center of this underground city and entered the most core position of the entire underground magma area.
This seems to be a forbidden area, not only protected by heavy barriers but also surrounded by various magic to prevent people from approaching, causing them to unconsciously stay away from this area.
"Don’t stray too far from , preferably act within ten ters of ."
When they arrived here, Malfoy simply warned once and soon took out an amulet from his bosom and wore it.
The amulet emitted a faint light, slightly illuminating the area around Malfoy.
Reiger and others then followed Malfoy into this heavily protected area.
Along the way, no one triggered any magic chanisms, and even the barrier seed to ignore them, allowing them to pass.
"This amulet has been preserved in our dwarf tribe’s hands for thousands of years."
While walking forward, Malfoy suddenly said so.
"When I obtained it, the previous Dwarf Commander stationed here told that it was an item inherited by every dwarf commander about to be stationed here."
"No one knows of its existence, only the successive dwarf commanders and Dwarf King know of it."
"And our only purpose in preserving it is to wait."
Wait for what?
Malfoy did not say, but everyone could guess.
Just like Reiger said, it is a thread of hope clung onto at the brink of despair.
"Unfortunately, we didn’t wait for the next holder of the Holy Sword Moslo, didn’t wait for the savior anticipated by that empire, but instead waited for you."
Malfoy said somberly, with so sentint.
"I also did not expect that the one to finally use it would turn out to be ."
If Reiger hadn’t co here...
If there hadn’t been a holder of the Holy Sword Marfa...
Then, Malfoy would probably, at the end of his term, hand this amulet over to the next Dwarf Commander stationed here, like all the previous ones.
"What would happen if one enters here without this amulet?"
Reiger pondered for a while and then asked this question.
"There are two results." Malfoy said expressionlessly, "Either the layer of defenses set here repels the illegal intruder."
"Or, the mont the intruder breaks through all defenses, this underground city would sink into the magma."
Short sentences exposed undeniable resolve and lethality.
"Additionally, even if soone else obtains this amulet, it would be useless." Malfoy added, "This amulet can only be used by dwarves, and the individual must be the highest commander of this dwarf tribe’s garrison area; otherwise, the amulet will not activate."
"Because of this reason, every Dwarf Commander stationed here begins to bathe in a special magical ritual light continuously from the year before their term."
"After a year of bathing, the person is ceremoniously recognized as the highest commander of this dwarf tribe’s garrison area, and then the amulet will work for him."
This rigorous defense makes the possibility of the amulet being stolen and the area falling greatly minimized, almost to zero.
And this realization made everyone, including Reiger, aware that at this mont, Malfoy was leading them to the guarded location of the greatest secret here.
"If it weren’t for you being the holder of the Holy Sword Marfa, no matter what you say today, I wouldn’t bring you here."
Malfoy did not stop walking, nor cease speaking.
"Again, I won’t ask what you intend to do, but since it’s a request from you as the Holy Sword Holder, I will fulfill it for now."
"But, don’t bla for not warning beforehand."
"If anything happens to you, I absolutely won’t be responsible."
As soon as the words fell, everyone under Malfoy’s lead reached their destination.
That was an altar.
The altar was not above ground but sunk directly underground, located in a circular cavity.
Everyone ca to the edge of the cavity and imdiately saw about twenty ters below, there lay that simple and unadorned altar.
"Go down."
Malfoy took the lead to jump down, prompting everyone to follow suit.
The twenty-ter height was trivial for everyone present; jumping directly down was no problem, even Jelina and Hilune wouldn’t have trouble from such height.
Of course, Beluti, the Saintess lacking strength, was an exception.
If she were to jump down, she’d most likely be directly killed.
Thus, Beluti was the only one brought down by Lilicia, while everyone else followed Malfoy and jumped down, arriving before the altar.
"Is this a... magic array?"
Reiger was the first to clearly see what was on the altar and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Indeed, a complex and profound magic array was engraved on the altar.
At the center of the magic array, there was a small stone platform, with an indentation on it.
Malfoy stepped forward and embedded the amulet into the indentation.
"Voom..."
The next mont, the magic array on the ground slightly trembled, began to emit a gentle glow.
"This is the only transmission magic阵 in the world that can cross the Nanierga Giant Wall."
Malfoy stepped out and pointed at the magic阵, saying thus.
"Step inside, infuse magic power into the magic array, and you’ll be transmitted to that Black Land."
