Chapter 171: Why Is This Little Girl Thanking Me Again!

On the other hand, Patricia and Dorothy had no idea that they had been secretly watched by the demon race from the torture tower.

After walking around the torture tower, the two quickly noticed the “altar,” which was not too far from the torture tower.

The residual space waves from the half-plane channel were very strong, and since the altar itself was quite conspicuous, Patricia and Dorothy recognized the place quickly, having come across similar descriptions passed down by their ancestors.

“Is this the place…? Ahem!”

Standing in the weeds in front of the altar, Dorothy felt a rare excitement as she looked at the altar, which was faintly glowing due to the Plane Magic Tide, a faint blush appearing on her pale face.

Patricia gently patted Dorothy on the back and said, “Calm down, little girl. It’s just a half-plane channel… It’s nothing to worry about.”

“You don’t understand, Lady Patricia. This place holds a special meaning for me… It is here that my ancestor’s strength changed from an ordinary Elite Level adventurer to epic level.”

Dorothy said slowly, and Patricia nodded.

“Ah… I understand, I understand. But the urgent matter is you need to tell me, how do we open this altar? After all, if we don’t unlock the half-plane channel, it won’t matter how excited you are.”

As Patricia asked this, Dorothy’s mood lightened a bit.

“Well… to open this altar, we need to infuse a pure amount of magical energy comparable to a Forbidden Spell Level, while also unraveling a rather complex Arcane spell, with the blood of a hero as a trigger. Of course, according to the Sage who accompanied my ancestor, if we have the coordinates of that half-plane and enough stored magic from it, we can do it without needing the hero’s blood.”

Hearing this condition, Patricia was taken aback for a moment, then she laughed.

“No wonder you asked the Wizard Association and you Golden Peacocks for help… I should have known to ask for a higher price!”

However, she didn’t really care about the so-called “rich rewards.” After saying this, Patricia did not hesitate any longer and began to infuse her magic directly.

“Now, I’ll begin.”

As she said this, the altar slowly lit up, and as the magic flowed in, the entire half-plane channel gradually became clearer in her Magic Perception.

And that half-plane channel had two “locks” on it.

Because Tina experienced structural fluctuations after the Space Magic Array was absorbed, and Lolth directly triggered and created a magic tide to forcibly open the half-plane channel, neither of them followed the proper procedures.

So they did not encounter these two “locks.”

But according to the rules, Dorothy and Patricia naturally would encounter them.

“A magical array with a recognition function and an ancient magical array that needs decoding… Hmm, both have the style of the Second Era.”

Patricia said this with interest as she infused magic and began to decipher the “code” on the ancient magical array.

If the magic were to become tangible, it would resemble a puzzle-like magic structure that is interconnected.

Constructing and deciphering such structures is considered a core course in arcane magic.

This made Patricia understand why only the Great Sage could do it.

Only the Great Sage could be completely confident in infusing pure magic of Forbidden Spell Level while still having the mental strength to decipher the array.

Even for an average Sage skilled in Arcane magic, there’s still a chance they might fail due to a lack of mental strength or insufficient magic purity.

However, this spell… Patricia felt it was much simpler than that Space Magic Array!

It felt like finishing the last difficult question of the Jiangsu exam and then moving on to the second difficult question of the National Mathematics exam.

Also, the magic consumption was much lower than expected—though Dorothy had said it was at Forbidden Spell Level, it actually felt more like a normal level nine spell.

Patricia could only guess that this might be related to the different strengths of the magic tide.

After about four or five minutes, she stopped channeling her magic and looked at Dorothy.

“It’s your turn, Your Highness.”

Dorothy nodded, took out a ceremonial dagger typically carried by warlocks, and made a cut in her right palm, letting the bright red blood drip onto the altar.

On the altar, the runes glowed brightly, and the magic of the half-plane channel began to stabilize and gently open.

“The rumor is true… The blood of the hero contains a blessing bestowed by the will to surpass the Dimensional Barrier…”

Although it was just for a moment, Patricia understood why the hero’s blood was needed to activate this magic circle.

It is not that this magic circle is meant for recognizing the hero’s blood, but there is a special power within the hero’s blood, a “blessing” that is not magical… This makes the hero like a master key.

In theory, the hero can be accepted as a “native” in any alternate plane or half-plane because of this.

Even in the Divine Kingdom, it is the same.

When Dorothy heard this, she simply lowered her eyes slightly.

“Let’s go.”

Saying this, she stepped into the half-plane channel as it fully opened.

“Wait for me—”

Watching Dorothy step inside without hesitation, Patricia sighed and followed closely behind.

But before stepping in, she looked back for a moment and pouted at the empty pile of weeds.

“I don’t know who you are, but… thank you, my friend.”

She gave a thumbs-up and stepped inside.

After her figure disappeared, two responses echoed in the empty space.

“You’re welcome, little girl from the Wizard Association…”

“Why are you thanking me, huh?”

Then, the two voices seemed to pause at the same time.

“Who is it?”

The two people asked at the same time.

Then, several powerful sensing and anti-sensing skills were unleashed simultaneously, as if they were completely unaffected by the Plane Magic Tide, colliding and intertwining with each other.

Although it was just a sensing skill, the sheer amount of magical power used caused it to explode with flashes of magic light in the air.

Then, both sides fell into a long silence.

After that, they seemed to reach some kind of agreement and spoke again.

“What did you do to the half-plane channel?”

“I strengthened its stability to make sure these two can arrive safely… This channel is almost blown up by that succubus—what about you?”

“I changed its destination coordinates; these two young girls won’t land more than fifty meters from Lolth!”
