After having lunch with Luvia, I originally thought about taking Mia to the House of the Blind, maybe I could bump into Sister Devlin. But not long after lunch, Tifa actually came to Saint Teresa Square to pick Shade to visit the witch's manor outside the city.
Miss Galina didn't have any important matters to find Xia De, but just wanted to talk to him about the stone figurines with fragments of "Whispering Poems" that were recovered not long ago.
At the same time, she also knew that her student Iluna would leave Tobesk temporarily, so she asked Shad to pay attention to safety when he was operating in Fort Midhill recently. The church has dispatched the only chosen person to that city, which means that the situation in Fort Midhill may undergo major changes in the near future.
In short, this Friday, Shad did not leave Tobesk. And there was a meeting on Saturday afternoon, so he had no plans to go to Fort Midhill again.
Instead, after the weekly study meeting on Saturday afternoon, Shade let his Dorothy go first, and he stayed to have a private conversation with the doctor. The doctor has already borrowed the [relic] from a friend in this city that allows him to perform a short-term space transfer.
"Look at this!"
Perhaps because of the devil, the doctor was very excited and showed Shad a door in the bedroom on the third floor of the clinic. .
It was a relic. The door frame and door panel were made of thick brown wood that looked old. The left and right legs of the door frame were respectively inserted on the metal base, and the handle and door lock on the door seemed to be the same metal as the base. Material. In addition, there is a black key inserted in the lockhole.
The metal base has a complex texture like a steam circuit plan, while the wooden door frame is decorated with vine-like stripes, as if there are entangled long insect corpses in the wood. On the door panel, there are pieces of flower decorations, surrounded by a double-faced man in the center, with two faces facing left and right.
On the top of the door frame is a line of ancient text, which translates to a very interesting meaning:
[The journey behind the door is determined by the key. 】
"A clerk-level (level 4) relic [Traveler's Travel Gate]."
It was useless for Xia De to ask, and the doctor introduced it.
"You get the key."
The doctor pulled out the key on the door and handed it to Xia De. The black key was also made of metal and felt abnormally cold.
"Now turn your back to me and maintain a state where you can't see this door."
Shad turned around as the doctor ordered.
"Imagine the appearance of that door in my heart, yes, it must be specific, and then imagine inserting the key in my hand into the imaginary lockhole."
Concentrating on visualizing, also known as meditation, is part of the basics of ring magicians, so it's easy for Shad.
He stretched his right hand forward, stabbing the key into the air. Because there is a maid cleaning the house now, Xia De brought Mia out, and the cat watched Xia De's movements curiously.
"Now turn the key, remembering not to make a mistake. Three turns clockwise, then one turn counterclockwise. When you are done, release the key immediately."
Shad continued to imagine the door, and then turned as required. In the process of turning three times clockwise, unless Xia De's arm can be twisted into a twist, the key must be released to continue turning. But when he released the key, the key actually stopped in the air as if it was really fixed in the keyhole.
At the same time, Shad could also feel the changes in the whispering elements in the space when the characteristics of the relic were exerted. He himself has the [Time and Space] core spirit rune, so he is very sensitive to abnormal changes in space.
After three turns and one turn backwards, Xia De immediately let go of the key in his hand. With the key as the center, the door that should have been behind him appeared little by little within three seconds. It was like an invisible hand , like a jigsaw puzzle, the door changed in the space.
"Xia De, step back a little. Oh, don't turn your head, remember, don't turn your head."
The doctor warned nervously, and then Xia De heard the door opening behind him.
At the same time, the door in front of him also opened automatically, and the doctor walked out from the door. Xia De even saw his own back behind the doctor, and the two doors really realized the splicing of space.
"look."
The doctor who walked out of the door in front of him smiled and said:
"In this way, spatial movement can be carried out. Only one person can pass through the door at a time, and must go back within 3 minutes and 12 seconds."
Only then did Xia De notice that the doctor was holding a pocket watch in his hand.
"This door will only disappear when I return again, or when the time is up. During this period, the key cannot be pulled out, and the door cannot be destroyed or moved by non-space forces. At the same time, I cannot leave the key as the ball. About 10 feet (about 3 meters) of the heart. When I reach the boundary, I will walk out through the door again."
"What happens if it times out? Return automatically?"
"Of course not, it will maintain the same height and randomly appear in any position in the material world."
With that said, the doctor turned and retreated to the door. And with the sound of closing the door behind him, the door in front of Xia De disappeared as if erased with an eraser, and the key fell to the floor with a clang.
"Two situations will cause the relic to lose control. One is that the user uses the key while looking at the door itself, and the other is that when the key is inserted in the door body, it turns forward three times and reverses one circle."
Xia De asked curiously.
"It will summon some scary things that live in the space gap. Some are similar to the situation where your thaumaturgy [Raglai's jump] is frequently used, but it is much more terrifying than that. Besides, every time you open this When you open the door and step through it, after the research of St. Byrence who took it in, there is a probability of about 0.2% that it will be directly torn apart by the space storm. But considering the probability of being hit by a carriage on the street is also Pretty much, so don't worry about that."

The doctor shook his head and told Xia De to pick up the key:
"This relic cannot be used in abnormal areas of space, otherwise it will cause space tearing, such as in the dark field, this relic cannot be used. Also, this door cannot be used frequently, the frequency of once an hour is the limit In addition, the containment conditions are very simple, just insert the key in the lock hole when not in use, the key cannot leave the door lock for more than 8 hours under any circumstances, and the key itself cannot pass through the door.”
The final restriction determines that the use of this door is not very large. It is necessary to have the power of space and be able to return the key within eight hours in order to take the key far away, but since you have the power of space jump, it is not particularly meaningful to open the door for a single person for three minutes.
"Can this be used for smuggling?"
Xia De asked curiously again.
"Yes, but this door cannot carry special items through it, nor can it transport items exceeding the user's own weight."
So, it makes sense that this door, which sounds useful, should only be rated "clerk class (4.
"Shad, when do you plan to go to Midhill Castle to deal with that demon? Tell me the specific time. I will prepare here. It is only 3 minutes and 12 seconds. Although it is enough in my opinion, you must prepare in advance one time."
"Let's see... Dorothy is going to give me a lesson tonight, and tomorrow morning I'm going to open a time key. In the morning, I'm going to Midhill Castle to visit a fortune-teller who can predict death, so I I will have time to come back to pick up the keys in the afternoon... How about seven o'clock in the evening?"
"Are you so busy?"
The doctor asked curiously, seeing that Xia De didn't answer, he didn't think too much:
"The key can't leave the door lock for more than 8 hours, otherwise something will come out from behind the door, and then count the time you return the key...For safety, you will come to pick up the key after three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"no problem."
Xia De nodded, hesitated and asked again:
"Doctor, is the correspondence group at Zarath College willing to sell this door?"
"You want this?"
The doctor asked, Xia De nodded again:
"This door has the power of space, maybe it will help me better use the [Time and Space] spirit rune."
More importantly, whether in Coldwater Harbor or Fort Midhill, he acted alone. He could find some helpers locally, but after all, they were not close partners like Iluna or Luvia.
Although the door can only be opened for 3 minutes and 12 seconds, sometimes half a minute can make a big difference.
"They are indeed willing to sell. After all, the key cannot leave the door lock for 8 hours, which is a ridiculous restriction in itself. And the short time of use, and the distance limit after opening the door, have greatly weakened the value of this relic. But I listen to them Having said that, they are only willing to barter, exchange relics for relics, and do not accept other transactions."
"That's it."
Xia De actually has quite a few relics now, the sage-level [God’s Gift Box], the Keeper-level [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], the clerk-level [Spear of Kindness], the clerk-level [Soul Fishing Rod] ], Poet-level poem manuscripts and pages are all useful, and the three rings [Magic Hunting Seal], [Transformation Ring], and [Fish Training Ring] must be kept, and blood money and erected coins are even more impossible to sell.
It can be considered to sell, and the other party may also accept it. Only the poet-level [Youth Immature Leaf] and the clerical-level [Corpse Mirror~www.mtlnovel.com~ The former Xia De has two pieces, and there will be more in the foreseeable future. There are more; the latter's ability to hide in the mirror is very useful, but it is not necessary for Shad, and it will not affect the combat effectiveness.
"I used to have so many [relics]."
Thinking of this, Xia De himself was a little surprised. After all, except for the fishing rod and the upright coin, all the other relics were obtained for free, so he didn't realize that he had so many good things.
"Well, doctor, please help me contact the other party."
In front of the doctor's desk, he wrote down the specific information of [Youth Immature Leaf] and [Death Mirror]:
"Ask the other party, which of these two relics do they accept. If it's [Leaf of Youth], they need to add money."
【Youth and Immortal Leaf】Although it is only at the poet level, because of its unique characteristics, the price is very high.
"If it's a corpse mirror, I'm inclined to exchange it directly. If the other party has other conditions, we can meet and discuss."
The grey-headed eagle's secret mission made Xia De a fortune. The 200 crowns and the 1,000 pounds that have not yet been claimed made Xia De very confident in the transaction. But the price difference between that door and his mirror should not be too big, and he can accept it within 100 pounds.
Dr. Schneider nodded:
"Then wait for my good news. The other party is also my acquaintance. I will arrange this business, and I will definitely not let you suffer. It is already afternoon, and I probably can't find anyone. I will ask you tomorrow morning Come on, when you come to my place this afternoon to pick up the keys, maybe the deal has already been negotiated."
