"Av is not here?" Erica unexpectedly looked at the Algasburg magician girl in front of her and asked, "Where has she been?"

"Mr. Sishu has returned to Algasburg." The little girl pointed to the huge temporary building on the high platform behind and said, "I went back through the portal three days ago, and there is no news coming back now..."

Erica always felt something was wrong when she looked at the girl's worried expression, but the other party seemed to be busy carrying a pile of thick books and was anxious to go elsewhere, so Erica did not continue to take up the other party's time. Erica now found that the camp in Algasburg seemed very chaotic, as if everyone was anxious to do something important, while Erica didn't even ask. After all, she was not very familiar with everyone here, and basically no one except Aphrola and Hammer could call her name. But at this moment, Old Hammer was still busy organizing archaeological data at the Enval ruins. Although the underground space below the ruins was closed, there were still a lot of valuable things in the intricate passage in the middle.

But now Erica’s biggest concern is what happened to Aphrola. Diana has talked about the portal before. In fact, there are many places in Algasburg, and there are several in it. But now it is not normal for everyone to be anxious about Aphrola’s use of the portal to go home.

"Hey... Norma, do you know where my car is parked?" Erica looked back at Norma who was watching some kind of magical facility nearby. She seemed to be fascinated by everything here. After all, no matter what, this place is a camp in Algasburg. I'm afraid that the magicians here will throw a piece of waste paper out and will be scrambled to study by the magicians outside.

Before they came, they found that there were many magicians who were not from the principality outside the camp watching here, but no one dared to approach here at will, because the two three-meter-high golems at the door had enough deterrence to make these wild magicians dare not act rashly.

In short, Erica was helpless and planned to find her Ford Raptor first, thinking about something else. She thought Erica remembered that there was a communication station on the car, so she planned to try to contact Aphrola, who was far away from her hometown through the radio. After all, when she went to the Enval Relics before, Erica specially equipped Aphrola with a magic walkie-talkie under test, and she planned to use the radio to try it out to see if she could contact Aphrola, but this required that Aphrola always carried the walkie-talkie.

Unfortunately, Norma didn't know where Erica's car was parked. If he said he would look for it himself, he would feel extremely troubled when looking at this rather "surreal" camp planning and layout. But now there is no other way, so Erica and Norma could only grit their teeth and find places in the camp where they could be suspected of parking vehicles. Just as the two were wandering around the camp like a headless fly, a magician who looked familiar suddenly called Erica.

"Hey, good afternoon, Ms. Selected."

Facing this very enthusiastic little girl, Erica could only barely show a polite smile.

"Hello, may I ask..."

"Ah, my name is Monica, Monica E Rafael, the second library of the East Library of Knowledge Guardians." After introducing herself politely, the little girl looked around and asked expectantly: "Ruby... didn't come with her today?"

Erica was very surprised that this little girl had such a domineering surname, but after hearing it, she remembered that the familiar little girl had seen it there. It was still in the ruins of Enval. Before everyone went to the lower floor, Monica was the magician who had always held Ruby in her arms like a treasure.

"Ruby stayed in the city and didn't follow him." Erica waved her hand and explained.

Monica lowered her head in disappointment, but soon she cheered up again and asked Erica, "Oh, by the way, Ms. Selected, you..."

"You'd better call me Erica, I'm not used to that kind of name..."

"Okay... Erica, are you here to find Lord Astrad?"

Erica was still a little surprised when she heard this title, because from some positions in Algasburg that she had learned before, Grand Sensei was two levels higher than Seshu, but Monica still used a respectful title to Seshu Afrola, which made Erica feel something wrong. In addition to decisively eliminating the factors that Afrola herself is respected, Erica could only feel that her Sishu position may be a bit different. After all, Monica just said that she belonged to the second library, but Afrola did not say which library she belonged to.

"Well, that's true. But I heard that she's coming home, so we want to find my car now..." Erica looked at Monica, and then explained a little stiffly: "Do you know? It's the vehicle I parked in Enval before. I heard that Eve drove back for me. Where is it parked?"

Originally, Erica didn't plan to actually find out where the pickup truck fell from her, but what was surprising was that this Grand Scholar actually knew where the car was parked. It would be better to say that she was planning to transport things at the moment, and the location was at the location where Erica and the others passed by. In short, Erica and Norma went to the place behind called the "space compression matrix" under Monica's leadership, but in fact, from the appearance, it was just an inconspicuous tent, with an area of ​​about the same size as the tent in the Principality. However, the "space compression" in the name of this tent still made me nervous. It seemed that there should be a very "magic" place.

On the way there, Erica took the opportunity to ask Monica about the specific situation of Aphrola's departure, which made her understand why everyone was so nervous.

First of all, there is the relevant knowledge about magic portals. According to the part known to Erica, portals are actually very complex and dangerous areas in organizations like Algasburg that specializes in magic. Let’s put aside the complex related knowledge first, just in terms of effect, the types of portals are usually divided into two-way and one-way.

Whether it is a bidirectional or a one-way portal, they all have a very unique magic coordinate to fix the position of the "door", so the two portals with coordinates can be transmitted safely and unimpededly. Even the one-way portal system has a link to the "exit" coordinates to perform one-way transmission. The magic coordinates of a portal are not as pure as drawing a simple symbol. If it is expressed in a way that Erica can easily understand, it is to maintain the long-term operation of a magic coordinate, which is basically equivalent to finding a nuclear power station for the portal to provide energy.

Of course, the "nuclear power" referred to here is actually the magic power of magicians. This luxurious energy destined that the magical system has never been popularized in the past history. Even in the mythical era of civilization, there are only three portals that can cross the continent in the legendary homeland of all things, and this is the answer that was archaeologicalized by historians in Algasburg.

The portal used by Aphrola is a brand new type of portal built by her based on the knowledge given to her by Hex. In theory, although this portal system still requires huge amounts of magic power to supply energy, its advantage over the old portal is that it does not require fixed magic coordinates to perform anchor points. Similarly, if there are two coordinates to connect, the energy supply will be reduced by half, which means that only one magic gate needs to be charged to achieve two-way transmission.

After listening to Monica's statement, Norma was so scared that she couldn't walk, because as a magician, she knew very well how huge a portal would need to provide energy. In the place where she learned magic, there was actually an ancient magical system in the Riven Castle, but this magical gate has never been activated for decades since the establishment of Riven Castle, because there was no magic power that could be maintained in the Riven Castle. Even all the magicians in the entire Principality gathered together, it would not last for a few minutes. Algasburg not only opened a portal by a camp of less than 100 people, but they also successfully developed a new type that was more free and energy-saving. Even Norma was just a healing magician and thought it was simply a piece of news that could sensation the whole world.

Compared to Norma's shock, Erica didn't look so excited, but when she heard about the performance of the new portal, she couldn't help but be moved, because the portal reminded her of the modern transportation network on the earth. Such convenient things will naturally make people feel comfortable, especially because they are very free and energy-saving, which means that this thing can be popularized. Maybe Erica can take Diana around the world by then.

But no matter how much I think about it, when Erica asked about this, she was decisively denied by Monica, because not to mention whether the portal network is feasible, the new portal just involves too many unknown academic fields. If you want to completely laugh at these technologies and use them for general application, it will take nearly a hundred years for everyone in Algasburg to work together to solve the problem.

However, Monica did not completely deny Erica's idea. At least according to current research, the magic of short-distance teleportation has been very perfect, but the premise is that Aphrola, who is the pioneer of the field, agrees to teach this magic theory. Erica then talked about Aphrola's return home, but from Monica's answer, Erica thought this guy was really damn. In general, Aphrola was too stupid. Although this temporary portal was already available, it had not passed any security test. However, Aphrola secretly teleported herself back to Algasburg without everyone paying attention. If it weren't for her assistant who soon discovered the notes she left behind, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't have noticed that this new portal had been activated.

Of course, everyone used their unique means to send messages to Algasburg that day, striving to confirm Aphrola's safety as fast as possible. However, this magical communication is not something like a satellite phone that can connect to the opposite side. In fact, their way of sending messages is still very primitive. However, this messenger is quite special. It is a magic creature, and it will take at least two and a half days to rush back to Algasburg from here at the fastest speed. Today is the third day. Even if you receive a message from your hometown, the reply will not arrive until tomorrow, so everyone here seems very anxious. After all, their leader disappeared under the eyes of everyone, and they are still alive and still have a life and death to the present day. If anyone is restless, it will be restless.

Erica finally understood the uneasy performance of the people in the camp, but she was quite curious about why Monica did not CCB like others. So she asked casually, but the other party's answer was really surprising.

"I believe that Lord Astrad's strength will definitely not be a problem."

Facing the other party's crazy speech, Erica chose to accept it because she vaguely felt that the person she liked the most was not Little Ruby, but Aphrola. However, the three of them had slowly come to the door of this magical tent. Just when Erica was wondering why there was no guard in such an important place, Monica reached out to rub her palms on the curtain door of the tent, and then she saw a series of tree-like lights spread out from her palms. Until these lights covered the entire door, Monica took back her palms and opened the curtains and walked in.

Erica walked in with the very nervous Norma. The moment she stepped into the door with one foot, her perception seemed to be a little distorted. It seemed that the space inside the door did not match what she saw in her sight. This abnormality almost made Erica fall due to imbalance. However, before she fell to the ground, she still protected Norma, who almost fainted. When the two stood up again, they found that they were in a space with an eye-catching area of ​​about three basketball courts.

The structure of the entire space is very ordinary, a typical warehouse-style structure, except that all the materials, including the walls and the floor, are opaque substances emitting glimmers, and the sun can be seen on the top, as if the eleven thick layers of glass on the ceiling seemed a bit subtle. However, Erica clearly remembered that the tent was covered, and in terms of material, this fabric that was similar to canvas was definitely not transparent, nor would it shine. It seemed that all this was related to magic, and Norma on the side was completely unaware of this.

Indeed, this is a warehouse for storing supplies, because these large and small supplies boxes are enough to explain everything, but most of these goods look like some of the cultural relics that have just been dug out, as if they are from the ruins of Enval. Monica, not far away, was carefully browsing an account book-like thing, which seemed to be counting and looking for some goods. Erica saw that she was very focused, so she did not intend to disturb the other party, because she stood at the door and saw her own mud-covered Ford Raptor parked in the open space not far away.

Erica took Norma to her car. She roughly guessed from the cracked mud on the car body, which was covered with cracked mud, how the bastard Aphrola had ruined the car. However, Erica checked the spare goods on the rear truck. It seemed that there were much more things inside than she had prepared. However, Erica still found the Bren Ten pistol that she had killed herself from the numerous garbage-like supplies.

Erica silently picked up the pistol with a little blood on the muzzle and checked it. Then she took the gun bored and sat in the driver's seat of the pickup truck and stared at the gun in a daze. In fact, Erica thought she had died twice so far, but the two deaths had completely different experiences. The first time was when she died in Ukraine. She died of excessive blood loss, and she still remembered the suffocation that was on the verge of death. But the last death seemed very confused, because she remembered it very clearly. Before the death, she saw Sevena suddenly appearing, and the time around her instantly frozen.

At the beginning, Sevena did not arrive in time, because at the moment she appeared, the 10mm AUTO bullet had already shot into Erica's brain. In her final consciousness, Erica just saw the scene of Sevena hugging herself in tears. When she came to her senses, she was already lying in her temple.

Erica reviewed the feeling of that death, but she couldn't remember anything. She didn't think something was wrong because she knew very well that this was Sevena's protective behavior for herself. She eliminated her pain and fear of death, but this was actually not the result Erica wanted. For her, pain was not pure torture, it might also be a punishment. Although Erica did not regret that reckless death, it did not mean that she was at ease whether she died, because that death represented her distrust of Sevena, so Erica always felt that she was very ashamed of her now.

"Hey, Erica, have you contacted Lord Astrad?" Just as Erica was in deep thought, Monica walked over with a box of hay-like things.

"Ah... No, I'm going to contact..." Erica quickly put away the Bren Ten, then quickly turned on the on-board radio station and picked up the microphone and said, "Eve? Eve, are you here?"

The noisy Boeing sound came from the impression in the car. Erica tried to ask several times but still received no response. However, from the signal, it should be connected to the dedicated communication channel, and just now she also found that the signal light of the walkie-talkie's mother machine is still on, which means that the walkie-talkie of Avrola is still on, regardless of whether it is brought or not.

"No one seems to answer..." Erica looked up at the sunlight above her head and said, "Maybe we should go out and try..."

"Hey, Erica, are you alive?"
