Sunders nodded to Angor and put on a pair of white silk gloves. Then, he took out his black birch cane and put it on again.
With a light tap, the cane touched the Dark Abyss behind him.
After a flash of light, the plane passageway he opened was closed.
When the passageway was closed, Sunders pinched the remaining half of a fingernail in his hand.
"Deep Abyss … Using a Void Beast's fingernail as the main material to open a plane passageway? You're the only one who can afford it." Sunders glanced at the fingernail and tossed it to Angor.
"Take it. It can still be used one more time."
Angor caught the Deep Abyss Fingernail and looked a little surprised. The starting price of a Deep Abyss Fingernail in Floating Mech City was 3,000 magic crystals. When he bought it from Breeze, it cost him about 2,500 crystals.
Such materials could be used to open a plane passageway, but there were many other materials that could replace the Deep Abyss Fingernail. The most common one was a type of Ethereal Gem, which was an accessory of Ethereal Spirit Diamonds. It was produced in large quantities and sold at a relatively cheap price of 2,000 magic crystals.
At first glance, 3,000 magic crystals and 2,000 magic crystals didn't seem that big of a difference. However, one had to look at more than one material.
Planar passageways required a lot of consumables. Usually, they would add up to more than ten thousand. Different main materials required different auxiliary materials. For example, the Ethereal Gem's auxiliary materials cost about 10,000 to 20,000 magic crystals in total. Most wizards could afford to carry a set with them at all times. However, with the Deep Hole Nail as the main consumable, the cost of the auxiliary materials would be higher as well. The total cost of a plane passageway might be more than thirty thousand magic crystals.
This was why Sunders said Angor was being too extravagant.
Angor looked away. "I'm just worried that I might fail. That's why I used the Deep Abyss Fingernail."
Angor wouldn't mind using the cheaper materials if he wanted to open a plane passageway normally. However, this was the first time he only used the coordinates given by Sunders to open a plane passageway, and he was worried that something might go wrong. Therefore, he used the Deep Abyss Fingernail, which was more expensive but more stable than the other main materials.
Sunders knew what Angor was thinking, so he only teased him. Since he was an alchemist, he did not lack magic crystals. Of course, Sunders would not envy him. Of course, Sunders would not envy him.
"How did you know I'm using Deep Hole Nails?" Angor was curious.
"The shape of the crack." Sunders didn't do anything. An illusion appeared in front of him, which showed the plane passageway.
Sunders pointed at the edge of the plane passageway. "The plane passageway created by the Hollow Claw is called the Abyssal Abyss. You can see the claw marks on the space crack, which are similar to the ones created by the Hollow Beasts."
Next, he gave several examples of plane passageways with different consumables.
This included the illusionary tunnel created by the Illusionary Gem, the Shadow Tunnel created by the Nightmare Crystal, and the Rainbow Portal created by the Rainbow Hearthstone. He also taught Angor how to identify different plane passageways.
Sunders glanced at the Gondola in the distance.
He sensed the elemental energy fluctuations coming from the boat.
"The elemental creatures around Gondola are my new subordinates, as well as some of my friends. Do you want to check them out? "
Sunders shook his head. "Not now. Let's wait for Mister Rein first."
Rein promised that Brute Cavern would pay for all the materials used for the plane passageway. However, Angor's extravagance could still attract unwanted attention. To avoid such a situation, Sunders was responsible for setting up a plane passageway for Rein.
Meanwhile, Angor would go to the dream wasteland to contact Rein and confirm the coordinates.
Angor cast a nightmare illusion spell on the surface of the lake and created a cloud sofa. He sat on the sofa and entered the dream wasteland.
Angor was still in the lobby of Rose Aquarium.
However, compared to the bustling atmosphere from before, this place was now completely empty. There were only two waiters from Origin City.
Since Rein was not online yet, Angor decided to stay here and wait.
He sat by the window and motioned for the waiter not to come over. Then, he began to wait quietly.
Five minutes … Ten minutes …
Half an hour had passed. Angor even sent Leon a series of offline messages about his training experience, but Rein was still nowhere to be seen.
Angor considered for a moment and contacted Tree Spirit to ask about Rein's whereabouts.
Tree Spirit didn't reply. Angor used God View to check and saw Tree Spirit talking to Nai Meicui in a corner of the new city. Tree Spirit was talking to Nai Meicui while Nai Meicui's eyes shone brightly.
Tree Spirit and Nai Meicui were both fascinated by Tree Spirit's words and Nai Meicui's words.
Angor listened carefully and realized that Tree Spirit was talking about some of the cultivation methods of nature spirits. Although Nai Meicui was not a spirit, the description of nature in the book had won Nai Meicui's heart, so she was also addicted to it. Her eyes flashed from time to time as if she had gained something.
This reminded Angor of his conversation with Mister Feng in the painting.
"How should I help Nai Meicui?"
"Don't worry too much. Just let nature take its course. The Book of Kael won't be wrong."
Perhaps the prophecy was not referring specifically to him, but to him in general? Brute Cavern also had something to do with Angor, so the prophecy also included Brute Cavern.
Tree Spirit was the most knowledgeable wizard in Brute Cavern when it came to nature.
Maybe Nai Meicui could use Tree Spirit's knowledge to help her achieve her goal.
Angor did not want to disturb Tree Spirit's class right now. He had to find someone else to help him.
Iron Granny wasn't online either. She must have left with Rein. So Angor decided to ask Leona for help.
Leona quickly replied through the trees, "Go ask Duncan. He's at the ruins in the real world."
'Netherworld Whisperer' Duncan was an Occult Summoner. His main research direction was bone summoning.
Angor used God View to check Duncan's location and saw that Duncan wasn't inside the new city. Instead, he was in an underground lab outside the city.
The lab was built by Dumartin to study Rain Foxes and Traveling Frogs.
Dumartin invited Duncan to be his assistant, and for some reason, Duncan accepted the offer.
Dumartin wasn't in the lab right now, while Duncan was recording some experiment data.
Seeing that Duncan was fine, Angor quickly contacted him through the trees and explained the situation.
"I see. I'll go back to reality and check."
Of course, Duncan wouldn't refuse such a small favor. He quickly logged off.
A moment later, Duncan came back online. "Mister Rein has left. Iron Granny is guarding the ruin."
Duncan asked Iron Granny about Rein's whereabouts. Iron Granny didn't know much about it. She only said that Rein left through a plane passageway and said that he was going to visit a friend.
"Visit a friend?" Angor frowned. Didn't Rein say that he was going to Tidal Realm later? Why did he suddenly go to visit a friend?
And he left through a plane passageway? That meant Rein's friend wasn't at Parmigi Highlands.
Leaving in such a hurry, could it be that something had happened?
Angor couldn't figure it out, so he logged off for now.
"Maybe Mister Rein went to visit a friend because of something related to Tidal Realm," Sunders guessed.
As far as Sunders knew, Rein's business couldn't be more important than Tidal Realm.
That was why Sunders came up with such a theory. But what kind of friend could have something to do with Tidal Realm?
Suddenly, Angor felt the tree of authority in his mindspace shaking. A message came from the Dream Gate.
"Mister Rein has entered the dream wasteland!"
Without hesitation, Angor used Dream Walk on himself and entered the dream wasteland.
As soon as he entered the dream wasteland, he received a message from Rein about the location of a space waymark.
Rein logged off after sending the coordinates, which meant the plane passageway was connected to the other side.
Angor told Sunders about the coordinates.
Sunders closed his eyes and simulated the coordinates in his mind. "It's in the hinterland of St. Lawrence. If that's the case, Mister Rein went to the Magic Flute Monastery."
Magic Flute Monastery? Angor didn't know much about this organization. The only one he met was "Gold Collector" Matthew, who was also a member of the R&D department.
As for Matthew, Angor only met him once when he joined the R&D department. Matthew was an old man wearing the robe of a God's Servant, who gave off a holy aura.
Apart from Matthew, Angor only knew a wizard named Parsiva Graves, who claimed to have entered the Nightmare Realm before.
"Mister Rein has friends in the Magic Flute Monastery?" Angor asked.
Sunders shrugged. He didn't know who Rein's friends were. Still, Rein had been in charge of Brute Cavern for many years. His connections were probably bigger than the ones in this world and even extended to the general planes. He even knew people from hostile organizations.
It was hard to guess who Rein's friends were.
"If you're really curious, you can ask Mister Rein later." Sunders stood up from the sofa. "I'm going to begin."
Sunders walked to the side and took out the materials Angor prepared for the plane passageway.
Sunders used Angor's materials because Angor could pay for them. Sunders didn't really care about the magic crystals, but he still wanted to save as much as possible.
Sunders' method of opening the plane passageway was much easier than Angor's.
Although he was more proficient in using the Rainbow Crystal to open the Light Tunnel, using the Illusory Gem to open the Illusory Tunnel was no problem for him.
Angor was surprised by how fast the process was.
The plane passageway was successfully opened in an instant. A giant vortex of Illusionary energy was released.
This vortex was the Illusionary Tunnel. The size of the vortex was much bigger than Angor's cave.
Sunders used cheaper materials to create a better plane passageway than Angor's cave. This was the difference between Angor and Sunders.
Of course, the main reason for this was that Sunders had encountered many times more deadly dangers than Angor. Opening a plane passageway was already his instinct.
In a way, Angor was lucky enough to be alive.
Not long after the whirlpool appeared, Rhine followed the exit of the void and walked out from the other side.
Angor looked behind Rein out of curiosity.
If Rein went to meet his friend, would he bring Angor's friend with him?
But he didn't.
Just like Sunders, the first thing Rein did after leaving the plane passageway was to help Sunders close it.
Since the plane passageway was closed, no one followed them here.
"Why are you looking behind me?" Rein gave Angor a puzzled look. The first thing he did when he came out was to sense the aura of this world, and then he looked at Angor. Then he saw Angor looking behind him, which confused him a lot.
"I thought you came with your friend, Mister Rein," Angor whispered.
"Friend?"
After a brief discussion, Rein finally understood what Angor meant. "Of course not. I haven't even told Brute Cavern about the Tidal Realm yet. I can't tell anyone about it, not even to my friends." Angor frowned.
"Huh? So you're not going to meet your friend about the Tidal Realm, Mister Rein?"
"Yes, it's about the Tidal Realm. However, I didn't go to meet my friends to tell them about the existence of the Tidal Realm. It's different from what you think." Rhine straightforwardly admitted.
"What's different?"
"Well … you'll find out later." Rhine kept her in suspense and looked around. "Is this a salt lake? It's pretty. "
Angor briefly explained that this was a nameless place, which was different from the Elemental Territory.
"A nameless place?" A hint of emotion flashed through Rhine's eyes. "Even in this nameless place, the elemental power here is comparable to that of the mirror world."
Of course, Rein didn't mean the power of nature. Because of the Tree Spirit, the mirror world was filled with natural energy.
"Even the elemental power here has reached such a level. I really want to know what the real elemental territory will be like."
