Thus, Angel doesn’t bother with Dox, directly turning to Vay and Kaier.
"I presume you’ve already heard Lord Black Earl and ’Red Sword’s’ responses." Angel: "Actually, entering isn’t hard; either fight through or I take you through."
"The latter option is obviously more suitable, if we cut through the vine, it only benefits potential latecomers, and even may offend the Wood Spirit and the Wise Sovereign."
"Do you understand?"
Vay, with the Black Earl’s explanation, didn’t say much. But Kaier questioned: "I understand the lord’s meaning, but how does the lord plan to take us through—by putting us in spatial tools?"
Kaier’s eyes turned to the bracelet on Angel’s hand.
Angel’s bracelet contains a large number of Void algae cultivated, with oxygen produced and supported by algae stabilizing the space, indeed capable of storing living things.
However, within his bracelet hides many secrets, some if exposed would absolutely shock the entire Wizards’ Realm. Moreover, they would directly offend the currently recognized strongest in the Southern Domain—Monty.
Angel wouldn’t dare use the bracelet to carelessly hold people.
"My bracelet was refined during my time as a Second Level apprentice; the space isn’t large and mainly reduces presence. It’s fine for small living things, but you guys, it’s a bit lacking."
"So, I plan to put you in... Exile Space."
Both Black Earl and Dox immediately guessed Angel’s intention, because once they entered Angel’s Exile Space, the vines absolutely couldn’t detect them. Then Angel could pass through the path obscured by the vines, and release them from the Exile Space upon passing.
However, there’s a prerequisite.
Angel must be trusted.
Exile Space is a skill official wizards must learn, allowing for short-term maintenance of a Different Space through inherent spell technique models.
Certainly! Here is the translated text:
In the early days, the role of Exile Space was singularly to dispose of the residual waste from some transcendent experiments. Many of these residues were radioactive, making casual disposal dangerous, thus the Exile Space came into existence, essentially serving as a wizard-exclusive landfill.
Later, after countless efforts and improvements by wizards, the function of Exile Space extended beyond waste disposal. It could be used to store items for a short period, but it required a large amount of magic power to keep the Exile Space in existence. Due to its high consumption, without continuous practice for replenishment, an Official Wizard could only maintain it for one or two days at most, thus no advantage over Spatial Equipment.
But the only benefit of Exile Space is that it can store living things as long as you have enough magic power; you can store as many living creatures as you want.
After all, Exile Space is a Different Space constructed at will; its size is determined by the constructor.
However, the larger the space, the more magic power is consumed to sustain the survival of numerous living things, hence this functionality is rarely used.
Only those wizards returning from Conquest voyages would secretly smuggle some Otherworldly items.
Regarding human storage.
Exile Space certainly has no problem with it; however, it entirely relies on the constructor. If the constructor harbors evil intentions, they can easily destroy the people inside by detonating the Different Space.
Even if they are lucky enough not to die, they would not know their location in the Different Space, and without a Path Mark, returning is arduous.
This is why using Exile Space to store people requires mutual trust between both parties.
Especially trust in the Controller of the Exile Space.
Black Earl pondered for a long time before agreeing, weighing whether he could truly trust Angel.
He ultimately opted to trust.
Of course, this trust was also because Black Earl himself had confidence. Should Angel tear apart their relationship, Black Earl believed his nose would not be destroyed by the explosion of the Different Space, and it would be only a matter of time before he returns to the Southern Domain through positioning with other body parts.
And once his nose returns to the Southern Domain, Angel would undoubtedly face the pursuit of the entire Noah Clan.
Therefore, if Angel is not a fool, he wouldn’t indulge in such detrimental acts.
As for Dox, being a Bloodline Wizard bold enough to challenge Black Earl’s nose, he estimated that even a Different Space wouldn’t easily kill him. As long as he survives, there’s the possibility of retribution.
Moreover, thinking thoroughly, since no benefits are visible at this moment, Angel has no reason to "deal with" them.
Hence, after weighing multiple factors, both Black Earl and Dox agreed to Angel’s proposal; Vay and Kaier didn’t consider as much, and they naturally had no objection to safely entering the path behind the vine.
"Since everyone agrees, then... please enter."
Once Angel finished speaking, he gently waved his hand, and an ancient door appeared beside him.
Behind the door was pitch-black, obscuring any sight, which was a characteristic of Exile Space, suspended in the Void without visible sky or earth.
Black Earl deeply gazed at Angel without commenting, controlling the stone slab to fly to Vay’s side, then having Vay take him as they took the lead stepping through the door.
Kaier followed closely after.
Dox was the last to enter, and unlike the others, he kept rambling as he did.
The gist was that there’s absolutely nothing inside the Exile Space, and staying there is incredibly dull. Alchemists like you have Alchemy Workshops, why not let us go to the Alchemy Workshop or the like...
An Alchemy Workshop is a special kind of Different Space, which, unlike Exile Space, is more stable. Through alchemical methods, it can exist for a long time with minimal consumption, essentially serving as the Alchemist’s portable lab.
Despite his words, Dox purely wanted to indulge his itching tongue; if truly invited to an Alchemy Workshop, he’d likely chicken out.
Alchemists with Alchemy Workshops usually keep some secrets within, for instance, Frostmoon Alliance’s ’Black Sugar Servant’ Brufen whose Alchemy Workshop hid secret research on Evil God... which almost destroyed the Sky Island above the Hanging Jail Stairway. Had it not been for Monty’s urgent rally of all wizards to tackle it, Sky Island - the Southern Domain’s Abyss Conquest base - would have been obliterated.
Even without such apocalyptic secrets, the workshop contains the Alchemist’s refined creations, semi-finished and defective products... latter two seem useless, but the blueprint for alchemical creations is still a secret.
Therefore, unless expressly invited by the Alchemist, it’s best not to visit their Alchemy Workshop.
Dox rambles because he loves to talk and goes about life carefreely.
But little does he know, Angel hasn’t constructed the Alchemy Workshop at this moment... although he has plans for it, there are other higher priority matters interrupting.
Such as, reflecting on oneself, absorbing Official Wizard knowledge, which ranks higher than the Alchemy Workshop.
