What Richard didn't know was that he was being thanked. He had entered the gray space jumping point spontaneously formed by hundreds of crystals and reached another plane.
After arriving in the new dimension, he appeared on a small island, surrounded by the sea, and the salty sea breeze blew in, which was very cool.
Behind him is a tall coconut tree. The coconuts on it must be overripe. When the wind blows, they fall directly to the top of the head.
Naturally, he would not be smashed to death by a coconut. He would reach out and catch a coconut weighing several kilograms, and then throw it away.
But before he was about to throw the coconut out, he heard the sound of coconut water flowing inside the coconut. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt it was very familiar.
As soon as the movement stopped, Richard grabbed the coconut and brought it to his eyes. He blinked and tapped the coconut lightly with his other hand. The coconut split instantly.
I saw coconut water with a faint sweet smell inside, and a black ball the size of a longan rose and fell in the coconut water.
He picked up the black ball with his fingers, and immediately the call he had heard many times rang in his ears again: "...find me...come to me...find the beacon I left, it will guide you in the direction..."
So, the guiding beacon left by the caller in this plane is hidden in the coconut
Richard raised his eyebrows... So, he will be a coconut farmer this time? I just don’t know how many beacons will be used to generate a space jump point this time.
Pursing his lips, Richard looked at the many coconut trees on the island.
After a few seconds of silence, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a strong wind suddenly emerged, sweeping towards the coconut trees.
…
moment.
Regardless of whether the coconuts on the island are mature or not, they have been blown away from the coconut trees by the wind. The shells are broken, and the black beads inside fly out and pile up in an open space in the center of the island.
Then, an orange space jump point appears.
Richard walked in.
…
Time passed quickly.
After that, Richard searched for beacons from one plane to another and continued his journey.
During the process, he discovered that many beacons were very strange.
For example, he used lizard teeth to create space jump points in the desert plane, bones in the swamp to create space jump points, fish scales in the pond to create space jump points, and bird feathers in the sky to create space jump points. …
But no matter how weird the beacon is, he can sense that the beacon is indeed working, allowing him to teleport from one plane to another, close to the caller's location.
until…
…
After a long time.
It was another teleportation across space jump points. When the fluctuations in the surrounding space stabilized, Richard looked around and found that he was in a wasteland.
Looking around, the wilderness is very desolate, and beyond the desolation, there is sadness.
Yes, pathos.
The surface of the wasteland within the field of vision is covered with ravines that are several kilometers long or tens of thousands of meters long, like scars made by plows. The two walls of the ravines have crystallized under the influence of high temperatures and have not shown any sign of recovery after countless years.
In addition to the ravines, there are also huge pits hundreds of meters in diameter and dozens of meters deep. They are densely packed. The edges of the pits are scorched black. Not to mention trees, there is not even a blade of grass. There is no trace of life. It is like a completely dead place. .
The surroundings were quiet, but looking at the scene, one could feel the sadness of the earth and even the entire plane.
Obviously, these are all the effects of powerful spells. There should have been an extremely fierce battle here before, which ultimately resulted in everything seen.
What's going on
As soon as this thought flashed through Richard's mind, he heard a hoarse voice coming from a distance. It is similar to the previous call, but more clear: "You are finally here. Are you confused? Then come and see me. I will wait for you here."
When Richard heard the sound, he looked over and saw a bulging mountain at the end of the wasteland.
From the distance, he could estimate that the height of the mountain was exaggerated, more than 25,000 meters.
What is this concept
You must know that due to gravity, material and other reasons, the height of the mountain cannot be increased indefinitely. When the height reaches a certain level, the mountain will be crushed by its own weight, just like a huge blue whale leaving the water and losing buoyancy support, it will collapse on its own. It's like dying to yourself.
Therefore, although Mount Everest, the highest mountain on earth, has an altitude of nearly 9,000 meters, because it is on a plateau with an altitude of more than 4,500 meters, the real mountain height is only more than 3,000 meters.
Including the Earth, the highest mountain on the planets in the entire solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars, is only more than 21,000 meters above the base level of Mars.
The mountains in the distance are even higher than Mount Olympus on Mars.
It's an obvious "landmark", and it's easy to find... Richard walked towards the high mountain, and couldn't help but wonder why the caller wanted to live on a mountain more than 20,000 meters high... He couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that it is for the convenience of sending call signals... Just like a signal tower, the higher it is, the farther it will spread... But why not just create a floating city? After all, the ancient wizard civilization had this technology... And the caller Since he can find people across many planes, he obviously has this strength...
…
Puzzled, Richard burst into speed and marched to the foot of the mountain.
A winding mountain road appeared, leading directly to the top of the mountain. Beside the mountain road was a stone tablet with vague common language of ancient wizard civilization written on it: Otai... Third... Research Institute...
When Richard saw the content of the stone tablet, his heart moved slightly. He knew that the so-called "Otai" was the name of the native plane of the ancient wizard civilization, which was the origin of the entire ancient wizard civilization.
He wasn't too surprised that the caller was in his native plane, but thinking of the desolate and sad scene here, he couldn't help but become more curious about what was going on.
Take steps, embark on the winding mountain road, and head towards the top of the mountain.
During the process, Richard noticed that the material of the mountain was somewhat special, much lighter than ordinary stones. This may be the reason why the mountain is so high.
In addition, the entire mountain was trembling slightly and regularly, as if it were placed on a vibrator. Stone chips and gravel continued to fall, making people wonder whether a landslide would occur.
In the end, the landslide did not occur, and Richard successfully climbed to the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain is a flat land, where a very ordinary two-story stone building is built.
In front of the stone building, there was a stone platform, on which stood a sturdy old man, who looked to be in his sixties, with a serious expression, not angry but powerful. But the other person was wearing a large red monk's robe and a bald head that was even brighter than Sariel's before, which made people feel surprised.
The person calling out turned out to be... a monk
Richard was surprised.
At this time, the other party noticed Richard's arrival, turned around slowly, and nodded to Richard as a greeting. However, he didn't talk to Richard. He put his finger on his lips and made a shushing gesture, turned back, and then opened a purple-red wooden box at his feet.
Richard was very surprised, but when he saw the other party's behavior, he did not act rashly and watched patiently.
After all, after traveling through so many planes to get here, it's still worth waiting a few more minutes.
Then Richard saw the old red-robed monk take out a scroll from the wooden box.
