Of course, from below, it looks quite tall; from below, you look like an ant.
"What a huge castle! Without any clues, it'll be difficult to find the access key before the battle ends..."
As she listened to the constant roaring sounds coming from the sky, Celia felt a sense of urgency.
Ross said, "Why don't you put yourself in their shoes? Where would you put something like this?"
"It must be the most heavily protected place... Speaking of which, I just felt like the magic array of the entire Golden Apple Stone Forest was activated, but I don't know if it was just my imagination."
“No,” Ross said. “The Deep Sea has released the magic array from its restraints on the demonic energy pollution, and now, a large amount of pollution is spreading outwards.”
"Why so decisive?" Celia was startled and hurriedly entered the fortress.
Just then, a group of people walked towards us.
Celia quickly hid behind a pillar.
The group paused as they passed by, and the leading sorcerer looked at the pillar where Celia was hiding with a puzzled expression.
boom!
A deafening roar shook the earth.
"Quickly, go and provide support, don't stop."
When the voices of other heretics were heard, the group quickly left.
Celia patted her chest: "You scared me! It's only a fourth-tier mage. If a fourth-tier mage can detect me, what would it be like if it were a fifth-tier mage..."
Celia dared not think any further, for fear of accidentally giving herself a healer's gift.
"We can't just run around like headless flies. We need to think about what to do... Right, we can try invading the entire fortress's magic circle first, and see how this magic circle is built on top of the Golden Apple Stone Forest's magic circle."
Celia went to a corner, sensed it carefully, and then stretched out her mage hand, slowly disappearing into the magic circle that covered the entire fortress.
"Be careful, there might be a formation master here who is skilled in magic arrays. Don't let him discover us," Ross warned.
Celia nodded seriously, and the invasion became more cautious.
Soon, she realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, this magic circle... why does it look so much like the magic circle from the school?"
Celia still remembered the school magic circle she had 'accidentally' damaged before. It was a type of magic circle called the [Seven Star Towers]. This type of magic circle was very comprehensive, but its flaws were also obvious. The seventh star node, the Resting Star, was the weakness of the entire magic circle. Once it was found, the magic circle would be destroyed, just like what happened at the school.
A thought struck Celia, and her invasion immediately became more aggressive.
She was familiar with the Seven Star Towers.
Before long, Celia had grasped the information about the entire magic circle.
After checking each item one by one, she discovered an anomaly.
“There’s a hidden entrance beneath the castle… wait, this entrance doesn’t look real, it looks like it’s a disguise? But that doesn’t seem right either.” Celia frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Is it right or wrong?
Ross chuckled, “It can’t really be called a disguise. You’re right and wrong. It’s an underground base used to store a lot of things, and it’s also used for research. If the Holy Court attacks, it will draw attention to this base and thus overlook the entrance to another, very well hidden base.”
Celia's eyes lit up: "Where is that entrance?"
"The stronghold is underground, located beneath the Golden Apple Stone Forest magic array, and is concealed by the fluctuations of the magic array."
After a pause, Ross said calmly, "And this outpost has no entrance."
"No entrance?" Celia blinked, not quite understanding.
"There is no entrance connecting to the surface, and the access key you are looking for is hidden inside that stronghold. Under normal circumstances, if you want to dig down, you will inevitably run into the magic circle of the Golden Apple Stone Forest, which will block you from digging any further."
Celia's eyes widened. "There are such outposts? Completely underground, with no connection to the outside world?"
"Correct."
Suddenly I feel so sleepy, it's strange.
Chapter 441 The God of Fun, Ross
If Ross hadn't said it himself, Celia would never have imagined that the hidden base she had been longing for wasn't inside the fortress, on the edge of the Golden Apple Stone Forest, or in some other place where the most dangerous place is the safest place.
It even follows the customs of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Society, being located underground.
Surprisingly, it is located under the regional magic array and has no entrance connecting it to the outside world.
Such secrecy is beyond comprehension.
"How could they establish a hidden base under the magic circle?" Celia asked.
Ross glanced at Ethel from the sealed land and laughed, "Naturally, it was with the help of the gods."
Celia: "..."
Okay, that's an irrefutable reason.
"The god they worship located a small natural cave under the magic circle and set up a portal. The subsequent construction was carried out through the portal, which cost a huge amount of money."
"After it was built, the portal was dismantled, everything that could reveal the coordinates was destroyed, and even many of the heretics who participated in the construction were sacrificed."
Ross will tell Celia what he got from Ethel, maintaining his half-omniscient persona.
"After that, they used the extremely rare Magic Puppet Heart as the cornerstone of the entire magic circle, making it completely integrated into the magic circle of the Golden Apple Stone Forest, so that no clues could be found from it."
"That's why they were able to operate the magic array of the Golden Apple Stone Forest. After all, the places that could be operated were buried underground five hundred years ago. Perhaps that small cave is the remaining operating node."
Celia knew that the so-called ultra-rare puppet heart, in Ross's case, referred to the powerful puppet heart that could cause unconsciousness with just a touch.
If I remember correctly, the two 'super rare' Puppet Hearts I obtained were both from the Deep Sea Aid Society.
"How could they possess so many rare Puppet Hearts?"
Celia was completely baffled.
Ross did not answer this question.
Celia didn't dwell on it. She asked, "Lord Ross, does that mean I can't get the access key?"
Originally, I wasn't exactly full of confidence, but I was at least somewhat confident that I could get it. But after arriving, I discovered this terrible news.
Ross laughed and said, "Of course, conventional methods won't work. Digging a tunnel will only lead you to the magic circle first, making it impossible to break through. But have you forgotten? There's a kind of magic in this world called [Spatial Magic]."
"You mean you want me to use spatial magic to teleport to the underground base?"
Ross nodded: "That's how the higher-ups in the Deep Sea Aid Society are. They remember the coordinates and then figure out how to teleport in themselves."
He took out the teleportation badge that Melina had given to Celia and played with it in his hand.
"Given your near-zero tolerance for spatial magic, you only have one way to get in now."
Celia looked at the badge in Ross's hand and already knew what he was going to do.
Change the teleportation coordinates of the badge to the coordinates of the underground stronghold.
By doing so, she will lose her last means of survival.
However, compared to this, Celia was more concerned about another issue: "How do I get out after I go in?"
“That’s not something I’m considering,” Ross said.
Celia: "..."
Ross said irritably, "Can't you charge the badge?"
Celia: "..."
The girl lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Shall we go?" Ross asked with interest.
He gave the choice to Celia.
Celia hesitated for a moment, thinking that the pollution was spreading outwards.
If it is not stopped, no one knows whether the calamity of five hundred years ago will repeat itself.
The girl gritted her teeth: "Go! I must go. I must stop them from harming the world. The Golden Apple Stone Forest should not be in the hands of chaotic heretics."
"okay."
Ross nodded, the badge fluttering in his hand, streams of magic transforming into light and merging into the badge.
Not long after, Ross threw the badge back.
Celia took it, looked it over, and didn't notice any difference.
"I've modified the badge; its coordinates have been changed to the underground base. However, I only changed the coordinates; I didn't change anything else, such as the warning system."
"Warning?" Celia blinked. "Is there any warning on the badge?"
Ross nodded. "Yes, if you use this badge, it will send an alert to other people, reminding them that you have 'returned'."
"In other words, if I use the badge to teleport in, they'll assume I went back, then go check and find I haven't returned..."
Celia looked at Ross with a wistful expression and said resentfully:
"Lord Ross, why did you only tell me after you had already changed the coordinates?"
Ross's expression remained unchanged: "Because I only discovered it after I made the changes."
Facing Celia's suspicious gaze, he said calmly, "It's not that I have any strange ideas."
Celia: "..."
If you hadn't told me, I might have believed you.
The moment you say that, you're just hoping to see people outside come up empty-handed!
Ross said, "The alarm is two-way. Changing it on the badge won't work. We need to change it in both places. Anyway, let's hurry up and leave. If we don't leave soon, the fifth-tier mage will be here."
"Ok."
Celia had no choice but to activate the badge's teleportation function.
Although activating the badge will trigger an alarm, people outside will realize that the person hasn't returned and start to have bad thoughts.
but……
At this point, Celia had no other choice.
To solve the problem of pollution spreading from the Golden Apple Stone Forest, she had to go inside.
To make others misunderstand that you are dead or something.
It's not a big deal.
Don't tell me... it's a little exciting, what's going on?
Celia quickly suppressed the thought that popped into her head.
A faint glow emerged from the badge and quickly spread to Celia's entire body.
The next second, Celia's figure disappeared from the spot.
……
at the same time.
outside.
Outside the emergency teleportation room, the alarm immediately alerted the mages waiting outside to rush in.
When they saw the empty room, everyone was stunned.
Professionals quickly inspected the alarm magic device.
The inspection was completed quickly, and their faces looked grim.
"It's not a malfunction; Miss Celia's teleportation badge was indeed triggered."
"And what about Miss Celia?"
Everyone was silent.
No one dared to utter those words.
Before Melina left, she ordered them to keep a close watch on Celia and not let her make any mistakes.
Among those waiting were a team of priests proficient in various healing spells, Elena, an acquaintance of Celia, magic device maintenance personnel, and even a water mage proficient in spatial magic.
