Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1192 Looking forward to his future
A hidden place, the temple.

When Lige returned here through the [portal], the majestic temple that caught his eyes had collapsed in some places and turned into ruins.

The people in the temple were rushing in and out, and it seemed that many people were injured and needed medical treatment.

The high priest stood at the gate of the temple, directing people calmly, so that although the people around him acted hurriedly, they were not panicked.

Lige looked at the place that had turned into ruins, frowned slightly, and walked towards the direction of the high priest.

"came back?"

The high priest seemed to have noticed Lige's return and spoke to him calmly.

"Were we invaded?" Li Ge ignored the high priest's question and said bluntly, "Where are the other party?"

"They have already escaped." The high priest shrugged and said indifferently: "After I received the call, I immediately used space magic to rush back, but unfortunately I was still a step too late."

"Not only did the other party leave on the teleportation magic circle, they also destroyed it."

"So, we can't even give chase."

Having said that, the high priest obviously did not feel aggrieved.

Because the loss is not big.

Although many people were injured, almost no one died.

Therefore, although they were invaded and the magic circle used for teleportation was destroyed, this level of loss was obviously within the acceptable range of the high priest.

But Lige's mood was not very good.

After all, Sharti had already said that the purpose of the temple this time was to destroy the magic circle in the hidden land used to teleport to the outside world, and to find something.

The high priest did not say which teleportation magic circle was destroyed, but even if Lige used his toes to figure it out, he knew that the destroyed teleportation magic circle must be the one used to teleport to the outside world.

That is to say...

"We can't leave the secluded place?"

"Correct."

"…Is there no way to fix it?"

"That's not the case, but it requires materials and time."

"What materials are needed? How long does it take?"

"We have the materials, and we have time."

"Just tell me, how long will it take?"

“One year at the earliest.”

"........."

The smooth conversation made Lige's brows furrow deeper.

He didn't think the high priest was talking nonsense.

That was not an ordinary teleportation magic circle, but a teleportation magic circle used to cross different spaces. Even if it could be repaired, it would definitely not be easy.

There is no shortage of materials for repairing magic circles in the Hidden World, and the Temple is the supreme manager of the Hidden World. It can find any materials needed and can even cultivate them by itself. Even precious ancient materials that can no longer be found in the outside world are no problem at all.

However, it is easy to imagine that a teleportation magic circle of that level and size would be very difficult to repair even if there was no shortage of materials and means, and a year was definitely not a long time.

However, Lige did not plan to stay in the secluded place for at least a year.

How long had he spent in the Akasha continent in total?

Letting him stay here for more than a year would undoubtedly be a waste of life.

Moreover, the Temple deliberately infiltrated the Hidden Land and sneaked into the Temple just to destroy a teleportation magic circle, so that the Hidden Land could not enter the Akashia Continent in the next year. Lige would never believe that there was no trick.

"Is there no other way?"

That was all Li Ge could ask.

"No." The high priest said simply, "There is only one magic circle that can teleport to the outside world. It was built by priests from the ancient magic civilization period. It is considered an antique in the entire hidden world. You should be thankful that we still have records of this and have inherited the knowledge of building teleportation magic circles. Otherwise, you will have to stay in this hidden world for the rest of your lives."

At this point, the high priest actually laughed.

"Of course, I don't mind."

Of course you don't mind.

You would really hope that a good thing like this could happen, allowing Reinnail's bloodline to stay in the secluded place for the rest of their lives, or even reproduce here.

Lige glanced at the high priest expressionlessly and actually changed the subject.

"Besides the teleportation magic circle, you haven't lost anything else?"

After these words were spoken, the high priest looked at Lige deeply for a while.

"It seems that you know the origins and intentions of those people."

The high priest said this with deep meaning.

"They are from an organization called the Temple." Li Ge did not hide this aspect and asked, "Have you heard of it?"

"The temple?" The high priest suppressed his smile, frowned, and said, "As far as the name is concerned, it sounds like it has some connection with my temple, but that doesn't mean anything."

"I have never heard of the existence of such an organization, but since it is named "holy", it should be a very special organization."

"Add to that the abyss aura..."

Lige narrowed his eyes at the high priest's self-talking words.

"You mean, this organization might be related to another world?"

Li Ge actually thought of this.

The word "Saint" may not be too special in this world. At most, it is related to the Sword Saint, the highest honor of the swordsman class.

But in the world of Source, this word is not that simple.

Because it is directly linked to the most advanced beings in the Source World.

No matter whether it is a swordsman or a magician, as long as they can reach the gem level and can be comparable to the gem level, they will be called a "saint".

The palace of the Reinnaier clan in "that empire" is also called the Great Saint Palace.

The word "holy" has a special meaning in the world of source.

Perhaps, the reason why the highest-ranking swordsman in the Akasha continent is called the Sword Saint also has some connection with that world.

The ancient magic civilization was established by Reinnaier based on the knowledge and technology from the Source World. Perhaps it was because of this that some customs of the Source World were brought back and passed on to the modern era by accident.

Since the Temple used the word "holy" which carries a special meaning as the name of the organization, and now it has a connection with the abyss, it is not surprising that even if someone like Lige associates it with the Source World.

Moreover, the temple has a special fondness for the word "holy".

The leaders of the seven holy temples are called holy emissaries.

The special weapons used by the magic puppets are called holy relics.

The underground monster Araculon is called the holy beast by them.

The existence of these situations all tells others how much they like the word "holy".

However, Lige now knows that the reason why the ancient magic civilization was destroyed is probably related to the abyss.

In other words, this world actually has the possibility of being inextricably linked to another world.

He didn't know where the temple came from, but judging from the current situation, even if it was said to have some connection with the Source World, Lige believed it.

In view of this, he said this.

The high priest obviously thought of the same thing, which is why he said that.

only……

"I don't know exactly what's going on." The high priest shook his head and said solemnly, "But I have a bad feeling. I always feel that something big will happen soon."

Hearing this, Lige's heart slowly sank.

You know, the high priest is a user of prophetic magic and can predict the future to a certain extent.

Her premonition was not some alarmist talk that could be ignored.

In particular, the high priest told Lige one thing.

"Nothing was lost in the temple. Only the magic circle that teleports to the outside world was destroyed."

"But according to the people who stayed in the temple at that time, after those people invaded the temple, they did not immediately destroy the teleportation magic circle, but were looking for something."

"Finally, they entered the rockery you visited today."

The high priest looked deeply at Lige.

"They entered the cave in the rockery, and when they came out, they immediately went to the teleportation magic circle."

Li Ge understood the hidden meaning of the high priest's words.

To put it simply, after going to the rockery, those guys from the temple decided to destroy the teleportation magic circle and leave this secluded place.

There are only two reasons for this decision.

One is that they have found what they are looking for and can retire now.

One is to be certain that what you are looking for is no longer there, so you have to give up.

As for which one it was, Li Ge knew it best.

"Could it be that what they are looking for is the dimensional energy stored in the rockery?"

Li Ge couldn't help but have such doubts.

In that rockery, apart from dimensional energy, there is nothing else of value.

In this case, the target of the holy envoys of the temple can only be the dimensional energy stored in it.

But the dimensional energy there was just taken away by Lige.

In this case, the holy envoys of the temple would be forced to retreat only because they failed to achieve their goal and could not find the target.

"This is interesting."

Liger started to mutter.

If the target of the holy envoys of the temple is really dimensional energy, it proves that even if they are not connected to the Source World, they will be connected to the ancient magical civilization.

The existence of dimensional energy is known only to the royal family and the temple during the ancient magical civilization period, and no other person knows about it.

Even the high priest didn't know what was sealed in the rockery. It was conceivable that the existence of dimensional energy was obviously intentionally hidden by Reinnail and the temple priests of the ancient magic civilization period.

But the holy envoys of the temple took this as their goal. Even if they were not aware of the existence of dimensional energy, they must have known some unknown secrets of the ancient magical civilization, otherwise they would never do so.

"It's getting more and more mysterious. This temple..."

Li Ge thought about it, then spoke to the high priest.

"Since those people have already retreated, you can handle the matter of the abyss aura by yourselves."

"Liz and the others are still outside, still chasing the escaping abyss aura. If they come back, you can let them wait for me here."

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Having said that, Lige did not give the high priest time to react. He opened the [Portal] again and walked in.

The high priest could only watch Lige leave, muttering to himself.

"He doesn't seem nervous at all. Should there be a way to leave this secluded place?"

The high priest could only feel regret in his heart.

If Li Ge wanted to leave, she couldn't stop him.

And once Lige wants to leave, His Highness will definitely not stay behind by himself.

After all, he has lived to this age and is the supreme manager of the supreme force in the hidden place of the temple. It is not impossible for the high priest to not notice some things.

She knew that there was no way the temple would allow Liz to stay. Even if there was a conflict with the young man, Liz would not be able to stay. On the contrary, doing so might even worsen the relationship between them.

Taking this into consideration, the temple has actually been reluctant to take tough measures to force Liz to stay.

Even if the priests wanted to keep the descendants of this great hero, there was nothing they could do.

The other person's heart is not here, but on that young man.

And that young man... the high priest had already told the others that if a fight really started, they would definitely not be his opponent's match.

"I really don't know how such a terrifying monster could be cultivated in such an environment outside."

The high priest himself was also puzzled.

I, who was invincible in the secluded place, was actually no match for a boy who was less than 20 years old. The other party came from the backward outside world that had lost the heritage of ancient magic civilization. This was outrageous no matter how you thought about it.

However, the high priest already had a vague feeling that the young man was not simple.

"The one who can unlock the seal of the rockery and enter it must be someone who is blessed by God, just like Reinnail, right?"

The high priest smiled suddenly.

“I’m really looking forward to his future.”

Only at this moment, could one see a trace of the kindness and optimism of an elder from the high priestess who looked like a young girl.

…………

at the same time……

In an endless grassland, the Ice Valkyrie is still moving forward.

Her eyes were dim and her pretty face was full of confusion, as if she could not see the future or the way forward.

In fact it is.

At this moment, Xiaerti was just walking forward aimlessly, without any clear destination.

She didn't know where to go, she just kept walking forward, staggering.

Fortunately, this is the wilderness, there is no one else here, and it is a peaceful and secluded place. Otherwise, if it were in the outside world, if some people with bad intentions saw this cold, delicate and beautiful girl walking on the road in a daze like this, they would definitely have some bad intentions.

Under such circumstances, Sharti continued to move forward.

Until one moment, Sharti suddenly stopped.

In front of him, a familiar figure appeared...
