At present, the sun was setting in the west. The rays of the sun shone brilliantly upon one's skin, as though it was trying to inject an incomparably tyrannical heat into one's skin.
Under the blazing sunlight, the flat ground shone with a steel-like silver-white radiance. A total of sixty-seven precious gemstones were embedded in the ground in a ring shape. In the area of ten square meters, Mithril Threads, Firegold Fragments, Magic Pattern Satin, Black Fang Stone, Hydromica, Silver Crystal, and many other precious materials were pieced together. Using a secret method, they created a mysterious pattern that interlocked with each other. Various spatial magic was cast on the pattern. When people looked at it, they would have a feeling of being distorted and blurred.
One had to admit that the dwarves were indeed a race of geniuses who were proficient in various construction techniques. To humans and elves, even if they had sufficient materials, it would take at least 6 months to construct a similar scale magic array. Furthermore, they would have to fork out twice the amount of materials.
However, to Segimli and the rest, they only needed 5 hours and 30 people to construct this teleportation array. Of course, Elder Annenia Cyathea and the other four elven mages also contributed greatly to this.
"Too extravagant." Segimli accompanied Sheyan to tour the one-way teleportation array, as he shook his head and sighed deeply.
"I really have to say that you're too extravagant. Even if you don't care about the cost of labor, you're wasting a treasure that could buy the next human city here to build a one-way long-distance teleportation array. More importantly, it's a one-time use! My dear Seaman, even if your wealth is so immense that even the devil would be jealous of you, I must repeat, your actions are too extravagant! "
Sheyan turned his head and gazed at the path they came from. It was a faraway mountain range with towering trees. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Oh, my friend, what I'm doing is not extravagant at all, nor is it a waste. Because life is priceless, I even feel that it's a profitable business to exchange for all of our lives with these measurable things!"
While speaking, Sheyan could already feel an incomparably immense pressure pressing in from afar. That pressure was a mixture of anxiety, greed, dominance and other negative emotions. Sheyan suddenly pulled Segimli over and asked.
"You should have made this thing a one-time use item right?"
Segimli replied unhappily.
"You are questioning the skills of the dwarves!"
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"In that case, is there any way to disguise it so that after we're done using it, everyone else will see that the teleportation formation is still working. Then, they'll come here and activate the teleportation formation … Of course, the consequences of doing so will be unwise. The chaotic flow of time and space will teach them a lesson they'll never forget."
Segimli frowned.
"This is very simple, but it means that the cost will increase again."
Sheyan flatly replied.
"You don't have to worry about cost, my friend. And I must say that this work must be completed in a very short time. "
Segimli frowned.
"Just add one more energy stone and ask those pointy-eared people to change the magic circuit. But are you sure it's really necessary?"
"Let's do it. We're in a hurry." He then turned to look at Franklin and asked, "Mr. Franklin, I believe you have also set up magic detection traps along the way. How far is that person from us?"
Franklin answered honestly, "Yes, Sir.
"If he doesn't suddenly speed up or slow down, and doesn't interfere with my magic detection traps, we should still have about 30 minutes."
Sheyan looked at Segimli and said.
"That's why I can only give you 20 minutes, my friend. Do your job well."

While waiting for the transformation, Elder Annenia Cyathea came over to check on Melody's condition. He could sense that the situation in Melody's body was very complicated. It could even be said that it was a mess. The power of the twilight elf, the power of Sin 'dorei and the power of the Ring of Air, Vilya, were all mixed together.
One messy ball of string was enough to drive anyone crazy, let alone three messy balls of string intertwined together.
This was mainly because Melody had forcefully attacked twice in a row after signing a soul contract with Vilya.
Signing a soul contract with the Ring of Air, Vilya, was a very serious matter. Even a genius like Elrond had to rest for a period of time after signing the soul contract. At the same time, he had to carefully train under the guidance of the original owner of the ring for a month before he was able to officially control the power of Vilya.
Melody was a believer of the Sun God Sin 'dorei. Even if Elrond came back to life and King of the Noldor, Gil-galad, came in person, he would not be able to help.
The only good news was that Elder Annenia Cyathea said with certainty that Melody's life was not in danger. It was impossible for an elf to go berserk. The three types of power in her body were intertwined and might resist each other and cancel each other out, causing Melody's strength to decrease greatly. However, it was absolutely impossible for her to turn on her master.
At this time, Sheyan took out the leaf from Elrond's bag and asked a female elven mage to identify it. The female elven mage immediately asked in surprise.
"Isn't this the leaf of the Sacred Oak that Lord Elrond's mother brought from overseas?"
She took the leaf and waved her hand to remove the shackles on it. A faint fragrance immediately filled the air. She then placed the leaf in Sheyan's hand.
[Evergreen Leaf of the Sacred Oak]
[Grade: Silver Storyline]
[Equipment Slot: Bag]
[Material: Chlorophyll, Mitochondria, Golgi, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Lysosome, Sacred Energy, Permanent Enchantment]
[Addons: None]
[Weight: 4 grams]
[Carry After Charge: Allows your body and mind to be covered in the blessing of the forest for a long time. During combat, your HP recovery speed is increased by 3 points per 5 seconds. During non-combat, your HP recovery speed is increased by 6 points per 5 seconds.
Each charge will cost 10000 utility points. Lasts for one week.]
['Oak Heal': The energy of the Sacred Oak is poured into this leaf to cast a lvl 5 'Rejuvenation' spell on the target. The target's HP will continuously recover for 12 seconds. The total HP recovered is 450-600 points.]
[Each use of 'Oak Heal' will cost you 3000 utility points and 1 potential point. After using 'Oak Heal', there will be a cooldown period of one hour. If you want to use this ability again during the cooldown period, you will have to pay double the price. A maximum of three uses.] (The second use will cost you 6000 utility points and 2 potential points. The third use will cost you 12000 utility points and 4 potential points. There will be no fourth use)
[Description: This is a leaf plucked from the foundation of the world, the elder of the horizon, the great tree Teldrassil. It was plucked by Elrond's mother as a birthday gift for her child. It is of great significance to Elrond.]
After obtaining the leaf, Sheyan felt that it was very useful. It meant that he now had an active healing ability. The 450-600 HP recovery was nothing to Sheyan, but it was quite good for some mages such as Franklin. Of course, the cost of using this ability was also quite high. If he didn't pay attention and used it a few more times, he might easily go bankrupt.

After a short delay, the Dwarves had easily completed the remodeling work. The range of the teleportation array had at least doubled, and the light on its surface had become even brighter. For the sake of realism, they even built some benches and other things to rest on.
Franklin smiled bitterly and told Sheyan that Glorfindel was getting closer and closer. Strangely enough, Glorfindel was probably tracking down the magic gears that Franklin had set up along the way. That was how he was able to track Sheyan's movements. In other words, if Franklin didn't set up these traps, Glorfindel's pursuit would've been delayed even further.
But this was no longer important to Sheyan. He decisively ordered Segimli to activate the teleportation array. The party entered the central area of white light one after another. After two to three seconds, they would be teleported to their destination.
Sheyan was the last to enter. He held a gemstone in his hand. Segimli told him that as long as he crushed the gemstone before being teleported out, the energy supply of the teleportation array would continue.
In order to make it easier for others to be fooled, their remodeling work was mainly done to fix the weaknesses and flaws of the teleportation array. The tampering was mainly done to the receiving point of the teleportation array. This way, it would be extremely difficult to be discovered.
When Sheyan crushed the gemstone and stepped into the teleportation array, he saw a patch of gold on the distant mountain range. A large number of birds were circling around that patch of gold. That's right, that patch of gold was the hair of the Twilight Elf Grand Elder, Glorfindel. Sure enough, he was chasing after Sheyan's tail. His goal was obvious - he was after the symbol of status in Melody's hand, the source of power - the Ring of Air, Vilya! (To be continued.)
