Keli raised a question, âBut the birth of Storm Eye involves not just pollution, but also crucial spatial reactions.â
Before Saul could answer her doubt, Keli suddenly realized it herself.
âOh~ the Chaos Realm Compass?â
Saul nodded with satisfaction. Both could understand his intentions wellâtheir tacit understanding was quite high.
âWhen the time comes, Senior Byron will be responsible for performing the reverse inertization formula, while Keli, youâll activate the Chaos Realm Compass. But be careful not to go through completelyâopen it and close it quickly, so people canât find the Storm Eyeâs exact location. That would be more realistic.â
When Storm Eyes appeared in the Borderland two years ago, the Tribunal, Stargate Council, and Sky City all received advance notice.
They must have discovered some clues.
After Saul personally sealed a Storm Eye, he also knew which precursors and signs indicated a Storm Eye had appeared.
Naturally, he was confident in creating a fake Storm Eye.
Once a Storm Eye appeared, he would have to immediately return to the Borderland.
Even if the Tribunal wasnât ready to let him return, people from the Stargate Council would personally come to retrieve him.
The Tribunalâs carriage needed three days to cross Dwarf Valley, so these three days were equivalent to Saul returning to the wizard tower for a vacation.
Of course, he wasnât really relaxing on vacation, but continued discussing with Keli and Byron how to make the fake Storm Eye more realistic.
And how to let people from the Stargate Council and Tribunal discover the fake Storm Eyeâs existence in time.
The three days passed in a flash. Before noon on the third day, Saulâs figure flashed and he returned to the Tribunalâs flying horse carriage.
Still the same dark, crude little carriage.
âMaster?â Herman asked tentatively.
âSnap!â Saul snapped his fingers, illuminating the entire carriage.
âExperiment successful. The temporary coordinate is usable.â He was very satisfied.
This time returning, he hadnât used Hermanâs fate line to locate his teleportation, but rather used the temporary coordinate he had created.
The temporary coordinate wasnât a fate line, but rather a relatively large point. When Saul touched this point, he could also complete teleportation.
However, this temporary coordinate couldnât be maintained for very long. Saulâs first-made temporary coordinate could last at most ten days. It could only be used for emergencies, not for long-term positioning.
But after more research, he might be able to extend the temporary coordinateâs maintenance period to several months.
Then it could be used in many more scenarios.
The Tribunalâs carriage was still traveling steadily on the ground.
Saul satisfactorily retrieved his soul fragment, then pushed the carriage door open a crack to signal to the coachman that he had returned.
Outside the carriage, the coachmanâs back, entirely covered in a cloak, suddenly stiffened, then slowly relaxed.
âLord Saul, welcome back.â
The coachmanâs voice was always low and hoarse, but today it was particularly exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained.
Saul now knew that others couldnât teleport within Dwarf Valley, but he couldnât very well discuss this with the coachman. So he continued pretending not to know, notified the coachman of his return, then closed the carriage door again and sat inside meditating, recovering his spiritual body that had fluctuated slightly due to teleportation.
He didnât know that the Tribunalâs coachman had truly been nervous for three days.
Because his body had been too tense, when Saul returned and he relaxed for an instant, he nearly collapsed from exhaustion.
Saul didnât know that this crude carriage he was in actually had hidden depths.
Even after Frimâs consciousness left the lantern, he couldnât escape the carriage.
In fact, once Saul tried to escape the carriage or prepared to violently destroy it, the carriage would immediately activate defensive functions, mentally depriving Saul of his ability to act.
Simply put, it would make him dizzy or fall asleep.
Even if Saul wouldnât truly pass out due to his abnormal mental strength, he would still be unable to continue escaping due to severe oscillations of his spiritual body.
Because the entire carriage was personally made by Frim for escorting disobedient high-rank wizards.
Also because this carriage only transported powerful wizards, outsiders thought this was the Tribunalâs highest standard for receiving guests.
Who could imagine it was actually a cage?
Those wizards who tried to escape but failed could vaguely guess this carriageâs true purpose.
But for the sake of face and dignity, they wouldnât reveal this matter.
However, Frim, who created the carriage, probably never imagined that Saul didnât need to leave the carriage or violently destroy itâwith just one teleportation, he could leave this hidden prison.
Therefore, after Saul left, although the coachman still drove toward the teleportation array leading to Nephret Continent according to the original plan, he was actually anxious inside, afraid Saul wouldnât return and he would fail to complete the Chiefâs assigned task and face his wrath.
Fortunately Saul returned, and his mission could be completed on time.
Saulâs timing was very precise. One hour after his return, the carriage slowly stopped.
Saul opened the door again and found they had arrived at another new magical formation.
Last time when landing on Iskaper Continentâs teleportation array, Saul hadnât had time to observe carefully.
This time, looking out through the carriage door, he discovered this formation was surrounded by a wall that firmly enclosed the massive array.
Every ten-plus meters along the wall stood a pillar with a flame hovering one meter above each pillar.
The wall was also inscribed with dense magical formations.
Saul casually scanned several and discovered isolation arrays, protection arrays, attack arrays, and others.
It seemed the Tribunal had put considerable effort into protecting this ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
Saul believed that once someone tried to destroy the formation or trespass without permission, those flames hovering above the pillars would teach them to be reborn as better people in their next life.
Perhaps because the coachman was eager to hand Saul over, before Saul could observe more, he heard the coachman remind him, âItâs about to begin. Please close the carriage door.â
Having somewhat guessed the reason for the coachmanâs nervousness, Saul didnât cause trouble and very cooperatively closed the door, actively stopping all magical power and mental energy fluctuations.
The next second, spatial disorientation came again.
This time the chaotic sensation was even stronger than before.
âLast time there should have been Frimâs consciousness nearby, so the carriageâs internal space was more stable than now.â
Despite the uncomfortable feeling from ultra-long-distance teleportation, Saul still had the mood to think.
Due to rapid spatial changes, Saulâs perception of time also became confused.
Several times he even suspected time had been frozen, but the next instant everything returned to normal.
After an unknown length of time, Saul finally heard the coachman outside say in his hoarse voice, âLord Saul, weâve arrived. You may come out.â
Saul closed his eyes and recovered for a few seconds. When he felt he had stabilized again, only then did he push open the door and step out.
The scene outside the carriage somewhat surprised him.
The flying horse carriage had stopped in the center of the formation, but around the formationâs perimeter, a circle of people had actually gathered.
In the direction Saul was facing, a golden carpet had even been laid out.
Just like a red carpet for welcoming guests.
The coachman got down from the carriage and cleared the space. âLord Saul, these people are important ministers and noble members of the Evernight Empire who have come to welcome you.â
After a pause, he added, âThe Emperor of Evernight is waiting for your arrival in the royal palace.â
