Novel Full Chapter 235 - The Fused Magical Tunnel
Chapter 235: The Fused Magical Tunnel
As soon as Watson’s voice fell, all the platinum-tier ores on the ground instantly turned into rays of light and fused together. It was not only the ores, but many of the goldbiter rats were fused as well. After the rays of light dissipated, a more than ten-meter wide metallic road appeared. It extended to the endless west.
Torch Town was located in that direction.
There were no words to describe that spacious path. The platinum-tier road was spotless, and one could only vaguely see specks of starlight. It was smoother than a mirror. If a person walked on it, it would clearly reflect their appearance. A magic circle looked like a vortex at a certain distance from the road, and mysterious runes were engraved on it.
[Active Magical Teleportation Channel.]
[The furthest distance is from Blackmoon Town to Torch Town.]
[Abilities: No Fall Fortress (that channel has the resistance for high-tier physical combat, high-tier magic, and high-tier corrosion. It will not deteriorate or age. Extreme Speed (there is no need to walk on that channel. The road will automatically push people forward. The speed is 1,000 times faster than a carriage running at full speed.]
[Additional abilities: Spatial Teleportation Magical Array (the passage has a spatial magical array every 100 meters. You can use gold coins to activate the magical array to teleport to any point on the course), Goldbiter Rat Summoning (when you encounter an enemy on the route, you can use gold coins to summon the projection of a goldbiter rat to face the enemy. The number of gold coins consumed will differ from the number of gold coins summoned), Platinum Protective Shield (against creatures and non-creatures walking on the passageway).]
The information appeared after the platinum-tier active magical teleportation channel was built. Watson nodded in satisfaction. Since it had fused with the goldbiter rats, the channel could push people forward automatically. He felt that that road should not be called a magical teleportation channel but an escalator. It was the kind of escalator that was as fast as a rocket.
That was an epoch-making magical tool.
The passage would considerably boost the pace of travel to and from the various towns. Even if one took the quickest route from Torch Town to Blackmoon Town, it would take two days. One might appear in an instant if one spent money on it. Those small merchants who were hesitant to spend money could also cut their travel time on that road by ten times, and they could arrive in a matter of hours.
Aside from speed, the safety of walking on the road had substantially improved. No magical beast or thief could kill people or steal goods near that passage. It would save the two towns a lot of labor and resources, which they could use to do other things.
“Creating a road in an instant? What kind of magic is that?”
Lubin sat on the edge of the garden outside the city in the sky as he looked downward. His eyes were the size of an egg.
Even as a spell, it was incredible. He was concerned that by signing the contract provided by Watson, he would be duped. He was no longer concerned. He could see that the tunnel’s metal was platinum-tier. Torch Town’s strength would be increased tenfold if he only took a piece of it and produced a few hundred sets of armor and weaponry.
“This passage is made of platinum-tier ores. It looks like Blackmoon Town is a little too rich.”
Gerant was only a short distance away from Lubin. He sighed and rubbed his forehead.
He knew that Blackmoon Town was rich and generous. They were willing to equip everyone with a platinum-tier ring. However, supplying tools and fusing them into a path was different. Weapons could kill enemies, but everyone, including ordinary folks, could use the course. It was hard to imagine the number of platinum-tier items that could be forged from the resources used on that spacious road. Even Gerant was reluctant to walk on such an expensive road.
Andrew from Fairy Town was so shocked that he could not speak. He put his hand over his heart and panted heavily. He was already very old, and his heart was not very good. He could not withstand such a shock.
“It is as one would expect of Young Master Watson. He could even use fusion magic to create a road?”
“With this road, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the west of the border. We don’t have to walk through the forest and take the rugged path anymore! Furthermore, there are magical arrays engraved on it. Perhaps it has other uses. I really want to go and try it now.”
The servants in the floating city whispered to each other. In comparison, they appeared very calm. That was because they had seen Watson create miracles too many times, and they were already numb.
“Watson, the path you created… What is the use of that path? Can you explain it to us?” Sylvan muttered to himself. He was very conflicted about whether he should use that astonishing magic to construct a path.
He stood with Antonio. The two of them gasped when they saw the magical passage that Watson had created. As platinum-tier elites, they could understand the horror of Watson’s actions. Even though it was platinum-tier earth-elemental magic, one would need to release magic dozens or even hundreds of times repeatedly to create such a long passage. It was enough to wring the strength of any platinum-tier mage.
However, Watson had created that passage effortlessly. He did not even breathe laboriously. Sylvan wondered if Watson was really a platinum-tier elite, or did he hide his strength?
Of course, he was even more curious about the ability of the passage that Watson had created.
“It might be hard to explain in words. Come with me. I’ll bring you to experience it for yourself, and you’ll know.”
Watson smiled slightly and whistled at the sky before they heard a dragon’s roar. The Golden Flash descended from the sky with the nebula and arrived in front of everyone.
Watson was the first person to ride on Golden Flash’s back. He stomped his feet lightly, and the Golden Flash retracted the majority of his wings. He leaned on the edge of the floating city as he waited for everyone to ascend. Sylvan and Antonio were close behind Watson. That was also the first time the two platinum-tier elites rode a diamond-tier dragon. They subconsciously touched the beast repeatedly.
Gerant and Andre were close behind them. The terrible aura from the Golden Flash’s body restrained the two town mayors once they climbed onto it. Their cheeks were pale, and they gripped the diamond scales on Golden Flash’s back with both hands. They did not dare to let go.
Finally, it was Lubin’s turn.
Lubin was extra cautious because he had fainted when the Golden Flash’s aura repressed him. Fortunately, Watson was present at the time, and the aura of a high-tier life form that the Golden Flash had defeated was not as powerful. He ascended with ease.
After everyone had taken their places, Watson said, “Get down.”
The Golden Flash immediately spread his wings and turned into a meteor that fell rapidly, bringing everyone to Blackmoon Town’s west gate, which extended for more than ten miles. However, with the Golden Flash’s speed, they arrived in mere seconds.
Watson, Sylvan, and Antonio were the first to go down, followed by Gerant and the other two.
The three mayors had arrived before they could react. The weightlessness made them hold their screams in their throats. They only screamed after they got off the Golden Flash’s back. They ran to the ground so quickly that their legs nearly buckled. Lubin held onto Andre’s body and bent down to vomit.
It was an incredible experience to ride a diamond-tier dragon, but it was not for everyone.
After Lubin finished vomiting, Watson led everyone to stand on the magical passage that had just been fused.
Whoosh!
When they arrived at the platinum-tier passage, they did not have time to examine its look closely since they heard a quiet sound. A platinum-colored protective barrier the height of a human appeared on each of their bodies, totally encompassing everyone within it. Then, the magical passage beneath their feet shook, and they began to travel forward at a quick pace.
Before they could recover from the dizziness of riding on the Golden Flash, they saw the scenery around them flew past at a rapid speed. The three mayors seemed terrified again. Fortunately, the rapid movement had a protective barrier; they could only sense a faint breeze that blew past them. They eventually relaxed and began to take in the sight around them.
“I have to admit that it is the most novel magic I have ever experienced in my life.”
Andre no longer covered his chest with his palm. He sighed in a muffled voice. He did not need to force his legs to walk forward as he stood in the corridor. His speed was faster than flying at full throttle.
As a mayor, he understood the value of that passage. If every town built a similar route, he could walk back and forth between different towns in a day. If the entire kingdom built more courses to transport goods or battle materials, they could arrive at a rapid speed. Would that not increase a kingdom’s strength?
Without a doubt, that was a great invention.
“Don’t celebrate just yet. What you see now is the most basic of that passage. Next, I’ll take you to experience its true power.”
Watson smiled at Andre as he controlled the passage to lead everyone toward a magical array. Then, he stopped them and stroked the Wish for the World ring on his hand. “I want to make a wish. I’ll get one thousand gold coins for making a wish. The price is to consume five hundred gold coins in Blackmoon Town.”
As soon as his voice fell, gold coins floated in front of him. There were exactly one thousand of them. Without any hesitation, Watson threw them into the magical array and activated the transportation function.
Swoosh!
Everyone in the passage felt dizzy and subconsciously closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they realized that the scenery around them had changed. They were no longer in Blackmoon Town. There was a wall that was more than ten meters high in front of them. Torches were hung everywhere in the town, and the guards on the wall looked tired as they patrolled.
“Torch Town! This is Torch Town! Am I home?”
Lubin rubbed his eyes. His mouth was wide open as he stared at the familiar town in front of him.
It had taken him two days to arrive at Blackmoon Town from Torch Town with the help of a gold-tier war chariot. However, it only took him an instant to arrive at Blackmoon Town then. It was so unbelievable that he thought it was a hallucination.
It was not only him; even the powerful Sylvan and Antonio could not speak at that moment. They looked at Watson as if they were looking at a monster.
They had just experienced a passage that could move on its own and were so shocked that they could not speak. They were even more flabbergasted when they reached Torch Town in an instant.
They were not only surprised by the spell used in that passage because they could also use teleportation magic. However, they were amazed that Watson could think of combining a teleportation spell with the path.
With that magic, even a mortal without any power could travel like a great mage. That was something that had never happened in the kingdom.
One could only enjoy the conveniences of life when one became stronger. That was a universally acknowledged fact. However, Watson’s creation had reduced the gap between the weak and the strong. He had created something unprecedented in the kingdom.
