It was a long time before Vincent was able to regain control of his body's movements.

Trembling, he wiped the sweat from his head with his hands and took deep breaths of fresh

air to calm himself. Most of the dwarfs were still lying on the ground one by one, unable to

move.

Vincent hobbled outside the Golden Hall, found the location of the alarm Mark had told him

about the whole city, and pulled the lever. Then a siren sounded all over the spider's cave.

Many of the gnome-dwellers poked their heads out from high platforms to gaze at the

swaying mages barely standing in front of the Golden Hall. Then the whole city was busy.

By nightfall all the dwarfs were finally settled. Many of the little ones were frightened straight

away into dementia. The midget priests had ways to deal with this condition, but they did not

have enough healing skills, and the healing power of three or five priests was a pittance in

the face of so many patients. They had to take care of those who had not yet recovered, and

wait for tomorrow or the next day to slowly treat them in batches.

Vincent's body just became extremely weak at that time, but now he is completely fine. He

was the first of all the people present to recover. This was thanks to the courage he had

developed from his many previous adventures with Lambert and others. He is now in the

hospital room with Charlotte, watching over Mark, the midget, who is still unconscious and

out of treatment order.

Late that night, Charlotte lay asleep by his nephew's bedside. A dwarf cleric in a green runner

crept up to Vincent, who was still there. He tugged at the corner of his coat and motioned for

him to come outside and speak.

Vincent followed him outside, full of doubts.

"Master, the strong man who came out of the teleporter seems to be waking up soon, and

you see, most of the members of the Council have been too much stimulated during the day

to disturb them. You are our guest of honor here and Mages are known for their wisdom, so

I wonder if you could go and see this mysterious man. Also. And I'm afraid of any more

accidents... '

Vincent nodded, and of course he didn't mind such a small thing.

When he reached a separate ward and pushed aside the curtain hanging at the door, Vincent

again saw the guy who was being chased by the black dragon. He was now wrapped in thick

bandages, his arms and legs were still fixed with wooden clips, and he was lying in the hospital

bed bound.

Vincent came up to him. The man was all wrapped up, even his face was wrapped in a white

cloth. Only one pair of eyes and two nostrils were still visible. They moved slowly, looking up

and down at the mage. With the cloth covering his mouth, he can only make a "whoo" sound.

It seemed that the gnomes were angry with him for attracting the dragon, and were punishing

him in this way.

The mage laughed and told the dwarfs to remove all unnecessary restraints from the "sick

man."

"Aha! A breath at last. I'm suffocating." The man exhaled loudly after the cloth strips were

removed from his mouth. He spoke not in the language of several countries on the continent,

but in a dialect of the extreme East. It was very similar to the dragon language of the mainland.

Vincent had been acquainted with a magician from the East and had learned the language.

But in the dead of night all the dwarfs in the city needed quiet sleep. Vincent took the bandage

he had just taken off to tie his foot and stuck it in his mouth. "Keep your voice down. Others

need to rest."

The man nodded and blinked twice. After Vincent removes the strips, the man breathes softly

and says in a low but angry voice, "Damn it, whose clothes are these? Why are they so smelly?

It's killing me. I almost spit them out. If I catch this man, I'll smoke him..."

Seeing that the mage was holding the exact same bandage as he was wearing, he swallowed

the last part of the sentence.

"What is your name? Where do you come from? How can you be hunted by a black dragon?"

"Asked the mage, sitting beside him, using the same language as the mysterious man. Several

dwarfs nearby could not help but sigh that the mage is very powerful, what kind of situation

can deal with, even this kind of pig grunting language, can use fluently.

"My name is Hardy, and I come from the Cassallad Mountains, the famous gem mountains.

Thank you for saving me. That black dragon is really annoying. It took his two precious stones

that day, so it had to hunt me for seven days and nights."

"Took two gems?" Jewel Mountain is a place nearly 10,000 kilometers away from here, and

for ordinary people, it is a existence as distant as myth. Vincent had only read about this place

in books.

"Yes, the other day I took his two gems and without a word he began to hunt me down. I

didn't take them for myself, I always gave them to someone else. And I only took two of his

stones each time. He had so many gems, and I took less than four hundred of them..."

Vincent wanted to give this guy a good spanking. He took away the precious stone of the

black dragon who liked to hide treasure most. He didn't say that he was greedy, but he even

blamed the dragon for being too stingy. On the other hand, if this is true, the man who only

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

took two gems at a time and ended up stealing nearly 400, he would be a formidable

character.

"What's your name, by the way? Where is this? ' "Hardy asked, turning his head.

"I'm Vincent and this is the spider Cave. Stay here for a while to recover."

'The spider's cave? Like heard that somewhere? Hm... Not in some place called the Ridge

Mountains." Hardy asked, looking at the mage nervously.

"Yes."

'It's over, it's over now... I won't be able to see Freda the day after tomorrow. I've wasted a

beautiful woman. Oh, and I'm going to see Eve for a picnic in the big jungle in two weeks,

and I'm going to explore the underground river with Setlla in a month, so it's all blown..."

Hardy's eyes welled up with tears, and he looked like the sky was falling and the world was

ending.

The mage, unable to bear Hardy's nagging, noticed Hardy's voice growing louder and shoved

the strip of cloth back into Hardy's mouth. Hardy looked at Hardy and tried to take the strip

off with his own hands. Tired of this, Vincent put his heavy left hand on Hardy's belly. Hardy

let out a dull "whoo, whoo, whoo," and did not move again.

After telling Hardy not to leave the room or he would try the curse, and seeing Hardy's earnest

assurance that "you can rest assured" in his eyes, Vincent left the room. He arrives at the

ruined Golden Hall. As the gnomes were focused on caring for the sick, there was little to

clean up. When the teleporter exploded, it smashed the works of the other gnomes in the

hall, making it look like a war zone. The only place that looked tidy was under the stone wall

that had been pierced by the Black dragon's spray attack. There, the dragon's acid saliva,

dripping from the gaping hole above, had neatly eroded into a pit.

Vincent carefully walks through the debris until he comes to the claw stuck in the mithril tray.

As soon as the platform was closed, the claw was neatly cut off and left on this side of the

portal.

The claw is an absolutely rare spell material, and if it can be transformed into an attack wand,

it will increase the power of the Mana (see note) spell to some extent.

But it was not the claw that caught Vincent's attention the most. It was a fragment of the

teleporter lying next to him.

The eight pillars were spinning at a high speed, and the later dragon caught Vincent's

attention again, so he did not notice the carved patterns on the eight pillars. Moreover, before

studying the Ofa Secret Scroll, Vincent would not have paid any attention to the patterns even

if he had seen them.

The pattern on this scroll was clearly the same as that depicted in the spellbound Force field

on the scroll. To be exact, they're done in the same style.

But it was clear to Vincent that the gnomes would never use the magic on the Offa Secret

rolls, nor had they ever shown anywhere that they could. Moreover, their use of eight gems

to simulate the properties of the eight schools of Magic had nothing to do with the idea of

"spell building blocks" in the book. School spells are concepts that arise under the rules of the

magic network, while building blocks are outside of this concept.

Unfortunately, the eight pillars have been blown to pieces, and Vincent can only find some

large pieces, but he can't put them together. The only way to see the complete structure of

the circle is to go to Elder Rhonda tomorrow and hope he still has the documents and

drawings for the design.

So early the next morning, it was no surprise that Vincent was in Rhonda's research room

looking over the plans.

Leaning on his cane, the old dwarf scratched the back of his head as he watched Vincent

analyze the drawings all day long. For the first time, he realized that there were people in the

world who were more enthusiastic about research than the dwarf. The young wizard looked

at the pattern file on the eight pillars and worked on the paper next to it.

Over the course of a week, the Golden Hall was redecorated. Everything was restored to its

original state except for the huge hole in the rock wall caused by the dragon's spitting attack.

Vincent, looking tired, came out of Rhonda's study room, gave the dwarf a good wash in the

cool water, and dragged him out of his sweet midday nap.

"Elder, let me ask you, when did you start experimenting with teleporters?"

Rhonda fumbled around and found her own thick-bottomed glasses from the nightstand. At

first, he was angry that someone had woken him up, but when he saw Vincent's grave face,

the young wizard who had been tortured and exhausted by all the late nights, his small anger

immediately disappeared.

"The first experiment was done ten years ago. What's the problem?" Rhonda's rhetorical

question was subtly timid, and from the look on the mage's face, he also felt that something

was wrong today

"Big trouble. Possibly, this machine is causing big trouble..."
