Chapter 814 -0811: The Rope Experiment (Second Update)

Following the fleet to Flame Island was another Knight Order led by Fox, the Black Horse Island Knights Order. Their mission was not to explore the forest but to guard the Flame Origin and protect the magicians stationed there.

The Magic Guild was preparing to establish a branch at Flame Origin. Henceforth, magicians would transfer to Flame Origin and explore the Broad Bao Forest alongside the Knight Order—Liszt had gradually shifted these magicians toward becoming expert scholars, encouraging them to dedicate their lives to scientific research.

As for the magicians heading to Flame Origin, those selected were magicians with questionable loyalty.

Given the isolation of Flame Island, once these magicians arrived at Flame Origin, they would be cut off from the world. Even if they were part-time rats for other countries, they would have to work obediently for Liszt. After a few years, when the paths between Flame Island and the outside world were opened, they would likely already bear the mark of the Flame Country, unable to change.

June 22.

The weather on Black Horse Island was fair.

...

Leading the way was the Flame Number, followed by ten large framed ships, setting out mightily.

Liszt stood at the bow, looking at Ach, who was sitting up straight and no longer burying his head in a book, and asked with concern, “How are you doing, Ach? Can you handle steering eleven large ships?”

Ach nodded, “It’s a bit strenuous, but if we reduce the speed to three hundred kilometers per hour, I can save some effort.”

The sailing distance from Black Horse Island to the Great Whirlpool was 4,200 kilometers. At a speed of three hundred kilometers per hour, it would take 14 hours. Adding rest times en route, they could arrive within one day.

“Then slow down, don’t wear yourself out.”

So the fleet progressed towards the Great Whirlpool at three hundred kilometers an hour.

During the voyage, they made convenient stops at the Yidao Mangrove Town Camp on Three Islands, the Crescent Island Crescent Town Camp on the First Chain Island, and the Greenlight Town Camp on Midway Island. One reason was to allow knights and civilians to go ashore for rest to relieve seasickness; another was to deliver food, jade, and magic potions to Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan.

Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan was living comfortably on Midway Island, where there were plenty of magical beasts for it to hunt at will. Liszt would provide whatever jade and magic potions it lacked.

Its body had already mostly recovered.

At a later time, Liszt planned to ride it himself, flying to the Great Whirlpool, passing through the magic teleportation array to settle on Flame Island. Then, he would find a suitable place to build a dragon nest, allowing Light Green Gemstone Dragon to slowly produce light green gemstones—the gem market was always in demand, never worrying about unsellable goods.

Various magic equipment and divine weapons required gemstones as raw materials, keeping gem values consistently high.

After a friendly exchange with Ethan, Liszt returned to the fleet.

They set sail immediately, arriving at the Whirlpool Archipelago and a half-hour later, docking at Whirlpool Town on Whirlpool Island. Whirlpool Town was still in its infancy, and the magic laboratory was quite rudimentary. Liszt convened a collective meeting there, with the main topic being the plan for receiving supplies the next day.

After Ach crossed the Great Whirlpool, the ten framed large ships needed to be manually steered, slowly making their way into the whirlpool.

Timing was crucial, so that Ach could be ready in time to catch the ships with a water tornado, preventing them from crashing out of the whirlpool entrance.

After everything was arranged.

The following morning, the fleet set off again, docking near the Great Whirlpool. Before crossing, Ach had to conduct a new experiment—a rope experiment.

This experiment aimed to determine if the wormhole space connected by the Great Whirlpool was a reality or a non-reality.

Furthermore, the distance of the wormhole space and how it linked to regions thousands of kilometers apart needed to be understood.

Hemp Rope Vine ropes as thick as wrists, held by Leo,

one end tied to a huge stone, meant to accelerate the downward force of the rope. Liszt and Ach rode a dragon together and slowly flew above the Great Whirlpool, right over the Whirlpool Deep Well, and suddenly threw the massive stone tied to the rope down into it. The stone plunged speedily, the rope jerking loop by loop.

When the stone fell into the misty center of the whirlpool, a burst of light within the vision of Dragon Eye Trajectory quickly engulfed the stone, and immediately after, enormous pulling force came through the rope grasped by Leo.

pulling his body directly into a spinning descent.

And the ropes’ end became impossible to hold on to, swiftly unraveling, plunging into the depths of the Whirlpool Deep Well. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, almost too fast for the naked eye to catch.

“Hold steady, Leo!”

Liszt and Leo’s minds united, frantically flapping wings, barely managing to stabilize their position at the mouth of the Whirlpool Deep Well, and flew back up.

“Brother,” Ach called out anxiously.

“It’s okay, the force of the rope was beyond what we imagined; Leo’s strength couldn’t hold on to the rope either,” said Liszt with some relief.

The wrist-thick Hemp Rope Vine rope, after all, was a super cable that even Leo couldn’t break. Luckily, it wasn’t directly tied to Leo’s leg, otherwise, it would’ve been dragged into the Great Whirlpool without a doubt.

“Was it the repulsive force encountered in the Wormhole Space that caused this?”

“I don’t know.”

Liszt shook his head; he truly did not know where this force had come from.

Ach, thoughtful, took out the Magic Platform, waited a moment, and contacted the Flame Origin Camp’s Magic Platform. A rapid response came from there, the experimental stone had already fallen, followed by a hundred meters of rope.

Ach analyzed, “There are two possibilities: one is that the Wormhole Space is a reality, and the repulsive force within it is what made the force on the rope too strong for Leo to hold; the other is that the Wormhole Space is not a reality, or that it represents a compressed space, thus causing the rope to move quickly, and Leo couldn’t hold on.”

Liszt looked into the distance, nodding, “Makes sense.”

“Brother, let’s travel through too,” Ach couldn’t wait to verify her own theory, to re-observe the details of the Magic Teleportation Array.

“Okay!”

With a thought, Leo instantly closed his wings, diving like a shooting star into the Whirlpool Deep Well.

Boom!

Already within the Wormhole Space, the Dragon Eye Trajectory vision filled with densely packed spider web-like magic power lines, sketching out twisted space passages.

The Magic Web faintly visible around the passage.

Crossing through what must be the work of an Ancient Magician once more, Liszt was still deeply shocked by the infinite wrapping of the Magic Web, by that piercing drilling through the web, all of it a strong visual impact. However, unlike the first crossing, this time Ach traveled with him.

Her Eye of Magic Power was not as high-level as the Dragon Eye Trajectory, and she needed to inquire about many details from Liszt.

A few minutes of travel, passed in a session of questions and answers, the next moment, the vision suddenly cleared with brightness, having surged out of the rush channel, pushed out by a massive repulsive force from the Whirlpool Entrance. Leo flapped repeatedly to stabilize, the view steadied, and the scenery of Flame Island came into sight.
