Compared to the doomsday-like chaos outside, the palace was much quieter. Baiyi could hear a group of people discussing something in the banquet hall as he walked along the corridor. However, compared to the situation outside, the palace was much calmer. Even the master of ceremonies, who was standing outside the banquet hall, was calm. When he saw Baiyi, he shouted into the banquet hall, "Special Advisor Hope has arrived with his family!"
Putting aside the fact that he considered Aya as a family member, this guy was still doing his job diligently. Even though the bandage on his head was still bleeding, as long as the banquet wasn't over, he had to stick to his post.
When the master of ceremonies shouted, the people in the banquet hall turned their attention to Baiyi, who looked like he had just been fished out of an avalanche.
"Master Hope is here!" Someone shouted excitedly, as if he had seen his savior. It seemed that he was one of the people who knew that the giant levitation formation that the floating island relied on was the work of Master Hope.
"Master Hope, what happened to you? Did you get hit by an avalanche? "Someone was more concerned about Baiyi's frozen appearance.
"Master Hope, was that ice-elemental forbidden spell your work? Thank you for your generosity. If it weren't for you … "Someone else said something meaningless.
Baiyi did not have time to respond to these people. He walked straight to the most luxuriously dressed middle-aged man in the center of the room. He was the king of Rottria, Roan Rottria the 233rd. Coincidentally, the king's eyes met Baiyi's. The two of them had met a few times in the previous analysis conferences, and they had a good impression of each other. The king was one of the few rulers who did not have the bad habit of ordering experts around.
"Master Hope." King Rowan nodded slightly at Baiyi, appearing very humble. "Fortunately, we managed to set up the levitation formation that you suggested, so we managed to escape this disaster."
"How much longer can it last?" Baiyi asked, not minding the formalities.
"Er … Well … The person in charge of this project is the Royal Archmage, Master Doan …" King Rowan hesitated.
"What about Master Doan?" Baiyi asked hurriedly. He had interacted with the Chief Sorcerer before. The old sorcerer was an old man who had assisted eight kings, and he was a Holy-level fighter. Although the old sorcerer was a little old-fashioned and stubborn, he and Baiyi got along well, and there was no bad blood between the two of them.
"Master Duane sacrificed himself to save everyone …" Someone at the side said on behalf of the king.
"Sigh … What a pity …" Baiyi shook his head regretfully. He had already sensed the violent magical fluctuation earlier, and he had some guesses in his mind. However, he did not expect that the elderly Great Sorcerer's body would not be able to withstand such a violent surge of magical energy. So what if he was a Quasi-Holy Level Sorcerer? In the end, his body still couldn't withstand the corrosion of time.
If the Grand Magus could use his mana in the normal way, with his strength as one of the strongest experts in Gouve, he would definitely be of great help in the rescue operation. However, in a moment of desperation, he could only resort to the crude method of spitting out mana. If not for his generous sacrifice, the people would not have been able to buy that little bit of precious time, and perhaps the outcome would have been completely different.
"We will forever remember Master Doan's generosity, but to make sure that his sacrifice is not wasted, we need to act quickly. Master Hope, we need your help," King Rowan said. Ignoring the bone-chilling aura emanating from Baiyi's body, he grabbed the Soul Armature's arm and looked at him with pleading eyes.
Just then, a young man dressed as a servant rushed into the banquet hall. Panting heavily, he ran to the King's side and whispered something into his ear.
"Currently, the Kingdom's magical crystal reserves, including those of the Merchant Guild, can only last for about ten more hours. Even if we include the sorcerers, we can only extend this time by two hours," the King whispered to Baiyi. It seemed that the servant was the King's trusted aide, who had been sent to compile the statistics.
"Only half a day?" Baiyi's hands, which had turned into two blocks of ice, tapped lightly on the table and asked, "What about the interplanar transporter I mentioned? Is it ready? "
Once the apocalypse came, the current interplanar transporter would not be enough to evacuate so many people. That was why Baiyi had suggested building more interplanar transporters, just in case. However, the cost of building an interplanar transporter was not cheap. If it was just for daily communication, the Sorcerers Association's transporter portal would have sufficed. Therefore, Baiyi was not sure if the Sorcerers had accepted his suggestion.
The servant answered on behalf of the King, "We've built a new one in the Royal City, but it's not finished yet. It was damaged earlier, so we've already ordered our men to repair it …"
This is really bad news!
An interplanar transporter portal was much more complicated than a normal formation, and it required a lot more materials. It was not just a simple formation, but a series of interconnected formations. More importantly, this antique, which had been passed down from the ancient Rohlserlian Empire, had not been inscribed with runes, and it still maintained its original formation structure.
In this world, there were not many people who understood Spirit Arrays. It was almost impossible to complete this Spirit Array and transport millions of people in such a short period of time.
However, to the Voidwalkers, there was still hope.
"You know how to use this formation, right?" Baiyi asked the Scholar Walker in the Void. He turned to Mia, who had been following behind him, and said, "Take out Sharkie."
Mia was a little surprised, but she still took out the hammerhead shark plushie from her storage pouch and held it in her arms.
Baiyi did not wait for the Scholar Walker's reply. He used his consciousness to wrap around her consciousness and roughly shoved her into the plushie.
"Don't be so rough!" That was the last thing the Scholar Walker said before entering the plushie. She did not say that she did not know how to use it.
"Follow it and help repair the transporter portal. Your basic formations can finally be put to good use," Baiyi said to Mia and Tisdale. Baiyi said to Mia and Tisdale. As he said that, he grabbed the plushie that was fanning itself with its fins and shoved it back into Mia's arms.
"Quick! Take them to the transporter portal! "Baiyi turned to the servant and ordered.
The attendant looked at Mia and Tisdale with a strange expression. Although the two girls were very beautiful, their childishness could be seen at a glance. One of them was even hugging a plushie that only little girls could play with. How could this kind of trash be able to repair such an exquisite interplanar transportation portal?
"Your Majesty?" The servant looked at the King with a troubled expression. Mia, who was standing beside him, also asked with uncertainty, "Mr. Hope, how did we …"
"Don't worry. She will teach you. Just follow her instructions." Baiyi tapped the hammerhead shark plushie with his frozen hand.
"This …" Witnessing the scene, the King was dumbfounded as well. Sending two little girls to deal with a teleportation portal that involved the lives of millions of people was not the most outrageous thing he could do, but this Master Hope actually wanted to use a furry doll to save the lives of the common people?
Baiyi did not have much time to explain, so he placed two piles of ice on the King's shoulders and said, "Trust me!" Then, he turned to the servant and said, "Go!"
The King nodded reluctantly, and with that, Mia and the girls began their journey to save the world.
The reason why Baiyi did not go was because he still had a lot of things to do. After watching Mia and the others leave, he continued to ask, "Those floating islands in the sky, do you think it's possible for them to crash into us? Can you handle it? "
"Leave this to us, the Dragon Knights," Kandor, who was standing beside him, said. Kandor, who was standing beside him, said, "As you know, there are no large islands in the sky above the Capital. Fragments of other islands may come flying towards us, but we can handle it."
Baiyi nodded. He wanted to give the Commander a thumbs up, but his hands were frozen like Doraemon's, so he could only wave them back.
"Let's hope there are no people living on those floating islands …" Baiyi sighed.
"It's a blessing in disguise. Today is the Harvest Festival, so almost all the citizens of the kingdom have gathered here. Even those from the outlying regions have come here, so the floating islands are almost empty," one of the ministers who was in charge of the people's livelihood explained to Baiyi.
At this time, a man dressed as a mage squeezed into the center of the conversation and said to the crowd, "Everyone, I have already contacted the headquarters. They will cooperate with us to build the teleportation circle. His Majesty the Emperor has also learned of the predicament here. The work of accepting refugees has already begun."
That was not a bad response. It seemed that after being frightened by Baiyi's alarmist talk, the series of preparations and rehearsals for the end of the world had been abandoned, but they had still played a key role in this crucial moment.
This made Baiyi feel a little relieved.
"Thank goodness you came and gave us a timely warning, or else …" King Rowan said to Baiyi in a sorrowful tone. "It's a shame we didn't trust you to the end. If only we could have continued with the preparations …"
"Your Majesty, this is unpredictable," Baiyi consoled. In truth, after such a cataclysmic event, it was already a miracle that they could still maintain their current state. The only thing they could do now was to protect the floating island and wait for the transporter portal to be built so that they could send people to Isythre.
"But, what about the other kingdoms?" Baiyi asked cautiously.
