Creating a fixed portal is a strange magical craft, which includes many aspects such as magic, craftsmanship, alchemy, and spells. Generally speaking, each portal is led by at least a high-level mage, assisted by a group of middle- and low-level mage, and it takes a lot of time and energy to finally build it.

To build such a set of portals, you need to first find a suitable location on the earth, and then establish a magic landmark based on the coordinates of the location. This step is very complicated and involves geography and astrology. It is almost impossible for ordinary scholars to do this kind of thing without spending more than twenty years in these areas.

After the magic beacon is established, two portals need to be built respectively - two portals that do not have the ability to teleport yet.

This requires a large amount of precious materials. An expensive metal with excellent magic conductivity is used to make the core of the magic circle, while another extremely hard and expensive metal is used to make the outer shell of the magic circle. Precious gems and various materials can only be used as accessories or consumables, and gold coins are used up like running water.

Because the existence time of the magic beacon is limited, you must seize the time as much as possible, sooner rather than later. For this reason, overtime work is unavoidable, and sleep will most likely be forced to be cancelled, so sobering potions naturally become a necessity. This kind of work method that overdrafts the body would definitely be criticized to death by the labor and social security departments and labor organizations if it were allowed to exist on earth, but it is inevitable at this time.

If the speed is fast enough and the two portals can be completed before the two magic beacons dissipate, then they can be connected together through a complex ritual. From then on, these two gates spanned thousands of mountains and rivers, ignoring the barriers of space and turning the chasm into a thoroughfare.

If you go in one side, you can come out the other - as long as you can pay the cost of teleportation.

Yes, although the portal can continue to exist by absorbing the magic power from nature after it is built, if you want to use it, you generally need to replenish the magic power yourself.

Of course, a powerful mage can pay for this magic power himself, but if he doesn't have the ability, he can only find other spellcasters for help. Of course, the help will not be free, and the money is not a small amount.

So just as Xuehua was worried, establishing the portal itself was already a huge expense, and the cost of using the portal should not be underestimated. The cost is so high that using the portal method to solve the problem of "remoteness" would be a bit outweighing the gains.

But Sui Xiong didn't listen to her. He thought this idea was a good one. Just imagine, in various large cities, whenever people want to travel, they will choose to go to the nearby forest to get close to dangerous monsters. What about distance contact? Or will you choose to go to the amusement park for an exciting but absolutely non-dangerous adventure

money? Money is nothing to the rich!

Didn't you see that bird can carry a box of gold coins...

His method of building portals was very different from that of ordinary mages. He first directly used materials to construct the original parts of the portal, and then began to separate his clones one by one, each carrying these original parts of the portal to various countries. The capital city plans to build small portals in each country's capitals that are connected to the giant portals located in the amusement parks.

But his plan encountered a setback from the beginning - the rulers of various countries refused to build such a portal in their capitals, and not a single country agreed.

Sui Xiong was furious, but he felt that he should be reasonable, so he stepped back and asked that the portal be built closer to the outside of the capital city.

This time, most countries agreed, but there was still one country that did not agree. It was a small country named Thunder Principality located in the west of the Mystic Tower Federation.

The ruler of this country seems to have a paranoia of being persecuted. He always feels that the enemy will come roaring through the portal and capture the capital in one fell swoop. No matter how much Sui Xiong negotiates, they will never let go.

So Sui Xiong left in anger. Two months later, a huge jellyfish flew over, raised its tentacles, and demolished the city wall of the capital of Thunder Principality.

Naturally, some other things happened during this process. For example, the Principality of Thunder sent out troops to try to fight this terrifying giant beast. For example, they issued a huge bounty to kill this weird jellyfish. For example, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Thunder was so angry. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage... All in all, it was all trivial matters that had nothing to do with Brother Xiong.

He was just doing some civil work honestly. As an engineering jellyfish who lives aloof from the world, who would have trouble with him

"Are you right?" He said to the crusaders who were hanging in the air, swinging like a pendulum, "I am so kind to others, so aloof from the world, so amiable, who would have the heart to hurt me? And me?"

The adventurers who tried to eliminate the terrifying giant jellyfish for the sake of high bounty regardless of the danger had pale faces, and they were all trembling with fear, not knowing how to answer.

Sui Xiong had no intention of forcing them to answer. He concentrated on building the portal and finally completed it successfully.

As for why the portal's foundation looks so weird? It seems to be the gate of the palace? Alas, these are all the miraculous works of nature...

The final result of this incident was that the "unreasonable and weird giant jellyfish" became famous among the mortal nations of the entire continent. Everyone knows about the existence of this strange jellyfish, and there are many legends related to it.

In these stories, Sui Xiong either played the role of the evil villain, the villain, the funny clown, or some dumbfounding characters...

"Huh? This friend has a lot of ideas!" Sui Xiong looked at the information sent to him by Lei's people, and then looked at the bard who was sent with the information, and nodded with interest. "Your ideas are very unique! Very creative! Very extraordinary!"

It was clearly recorded in that document: the bard Schuge, who called himself "Shovalier von Storovsky Franz", while singing and telling stories on the street, declared "No The "reasonable giant jellyfish" is actually a special species called "Emerald Jellyfish". If you can eat it, you will not only gain eternal youth and endless lifespan, but also become invincible and glorious from now on. A man among men.

According to Lei's original intention, this kind of blasphemous guy could just be tied up and thrown into the fire to be burned. But the city lord of Kasali felt that this bard sang well and told interesting stories. He was a rare talent. So at her suggestion, Lei temporarily pardoned this guy from being burned at the stake, and instead escorted him to the amusement park, where His Majesty the Mask of the Void would personally judge him.

As for whether he will be eaten alive by then? Or will it be steamed and fried? This is all what you asked for, and you deserve it!

Sui Xiong didn't think so. His idea was similar to that of Kashali - there are many smart people in the world, and there are also many who can sing, but one who is innovative, dares to create his own stories, and is not afraid of death in order to make up stories. There are just too few people!

It's just like on earth, there are many people who like to make up jokes online, but there are only an extremely small number of people who dare to work tirelessly and professionally compile "Xianze" stories.

Talent is rare! Especially this kind of short-sighted talent with a scoop of brain missing is even rarer than the giant panda!

So in the end this Shovalier von Storovsky Franz—his name was too long, and Sui Xiong ignored his protests and wrote "Suge" instead on the verdict—was sentenced. Long-term labor, the content of his labor is that he always lives in the playground and is responsible for singing and telling stories to make people happy.

"I protest! Only when I am happy can I make others happy!" Xiuge was tied with a rope and two soldiers held an ax on his neck, but he still struggled and shouted, "I don't How to tell a happy story while doing hard work!"

Sui Xiong admired this guy's spirit of not being afraid of death, so he asked: "Then how can you be happy?"

Shuge suddenly became energetic and said: "I need cute girls! Only with cute girls around me can I be happy! The more cute girls there are, the happier I will be!"

Sui Xiong raised his eyebrows with a half-smile and ordered: "Take him down and hand him over to Qiao Xiu. Remember to tell Qiao Xiu the conversation we just had."

The two muscular warriors set up Xiuge on the left and the right and went out. They faithfully carried out Sui Xiong's orders.

"Your idea is very good!" Qiao Xiu calmly listened to their narrative and said to Xiuge with a smile, "I think your idea is completely correct, but there is just a small problem that is not worth mentioning."

"What's the problem?" Xiuge looked at Qiao Xiu's calm smile, and for some reason, he felt a little nervous.

"Everything has a first-come, first-served basis, and what about you? You're too late!" Qiao Xiu grabbed Xiuge's belt, carried the bard who was tied like a rice dumpling on his back like a backpack, and came straight to We arrived next to the red dragon who was sleeping soundly on the rockery.

"Brother Fafnir, wake up! I have someone I want to introduce to you!"

The half-asleep "Red Dragon" opened his eyes, looked at the sky first, and then said unhappily: "Why don't you wait a few more hours? After the sun goes down, I will get off work, and we can go to the pub. Let’s talk slowly. Now is my time to recharge my batteries..."

Qiao Xiu smiled slightly and introduced Shuge to Fafnir.

"Oh?!" Fafnir listened to his introduction, and a terrifying fiery aura slowly rose from his body. It stared at Xiuge with its huge peach blossom eyes, making him tremble and sweat all over his back.

After a while, Fafnir said slowly: "Eight mature."

"What does eight mature mean?" Before Qiao Xiu could speak, Xiuge had already shouted.

Fafnir ignored him and said to Qiao Xiu: "-It tastes the best."

It thought for a while and then said: "I can give you a piece of liver. This is suitable for four mature people."

"No! Why does it sound like you want to eat me!"

Qiao Xiu ignored Xiuge's yelling, thought for a moment, and said, "This guy is a little dirty. How about I go clean him up?"

"Don't be so troublesome. The big jellyfish taught me a trick called 'Beggars Chicken'. I just need to use moist mud to carefully paste this guy into a ball, and then burn it until it is red. After it cools down naturally, I can put the dirty things together." The outer skin is stuck together with mud, and all that is left is cooked meat.”

Xiuge was so frightened that he was not very afraid of death, but the thought of being made into a living "beggar bard" made him shudder.

So this guy gave in. He put on a fancy robe, painted his face like a clown, and painted a musical note pattern on his left face with oil paint. He played the balalaika and the flute honestly, very well. He soon became a popular character in the playground.
