"Hiss, that Transmission Array was indeed incomplete..."
Colin gently covered his head with his palm.
The Transmission Array's ability to protect against spatial flux should have been weak; the sudden spatial transfer caused some discomfort to his spirit.
After a moment, he steadied his spirit and lowered his hand.
"Where is this..." Ante murmured in confusion beside him.
The discomfort from the transmission was mainly due to the soul's shock; the level of pain depended on the Transmission Array and one's own spirit's strength among other factors—it wasn't the same for everyone.
Beside him, the Great Knight, Old Jack, and the ordinary person, Anna, were both pale and looked like they were about to vomit.
Yet at this moment, Ante seemed to manage as well as Colin, with just a slight dizziness—he was the one among them who suffered the least.
...Perhaps it was because he often used that strange item that disguised himself—the Sigh Blood Crystal?
Colin silently thought to himself, then lifted his head, rotating his neck to look around.
Rough walls constructed from an unknown grey-black material immediately came into view.
This place looked like a sealed chamber with the door shut tight, apart from the silver Transmission device under their feet, there was nothing else.
"Ante, what information do you have about this place?" withdrawing his gaze, he stepped off the now defunct Transmission Array and asked.
"Sorry, Lord Leonard, my father didn't tell me much about the information on the other side of the Transmission Array...umm, to be precise, I asked, but he basically didn't say anything."
"I only know this place is on an island next to Quinte Island...perhaps this place was built by my father to protect the Transmission Array?"
Ante said, supporting Anna as he followed in Colin's footsteps, with Old Jack closely behind.
Colin gave a slight nod, then approached the stone door right in front of the Transmission Array.
He had just thought of trying to open the stone door when it suddenly opened automatically, revealing the smooth and tidy passageway behind it.
"..." Colin withdrew his arm, a faint suspicion arising in his heart.
"Basar, I never would have thought you'd use a Transmission Array!"
Just then, a mature woman's voice suddenly chuckled.
Following that, an odd silhouette suddenly walked out from around the corner of the passageway.
As she emerged, both parties looked at each other, falling into a standstill.
"Who are you, and where is that guy Basar?" the odd silhouette suddenly asked.
The odd silhouette was composed entirely of a dull unknown silver metal, resembling a female Wizard; the Wizard Robe, the hood, were all faithfully simulated... but the face was blurry and unclear.
If one looked closely, they could see faint traces of a gold color erupting with terrifying turbulence upon the dull silver.
"At least a Third Rank Wizard..." Colin's heart tightened, and he made a respectful bow.
As he was about to explain everything, he suddenly heard Anna hesitantly calling out from behind him:
"Zehtti?"
As her words fell, silence once again enveloped the scene.
The silver Witch slowly turned her gaze towards Anna, and though her face was unseen, her displeasure was evident.
The next moment, she asked in a deep voice:
"What's your relationship with Basar?! How do you know my name?!"
Crackle, crackle!
Pale gold electric light that seemed almost tangible suddenly erupted from Zehtti's body, striking the nearby grey-black walls and the ground, making her appear like a violent electric ball exploding!
Colin's expression changed abruptly.
"I am the Wizard Basar's daughter!" Anna quickly shouted.
"..." Zehtti's momentum suddenly weakened, and those gold lights vanished like phantoms in an instant.
The next moment, she used a type of witchcraft that Colin had never seen before to lightly scan all four of them, as if confirming something.
"Anna..." After a moment, Zehtti lowered her arms, hesitating.
Though her face hidden under the hood was blurry, it clearly showed a sense of embarrassment.
Then she turned to look at Ante beside her, hesitantly saying:
"You're Ante?"
The two nodded.
Ante looked puzzled at his sister.
"You may not remember, but when we were very young, the name our father most often whispered in our ears was this one," Anna explained.
"So, she is..." Ante suddenly gasped in astonishment, stammering.
"That damned Basar, he only had you two come? Where is he?" Zehtti suddenly clamored, her tone somewhat irate. Listening closely, it seemed somewhat unnatural, as if she was trying to change the subject.
Upon hearing this, Anna and Ante fell silent, their expressions turning mournful.
Zehtti seemed to realize something, her expression turning hesitant, solemn, disbelieving.
Moments later, a sentence that she might have expected, but definitely did not want to hear, softly came from Anna in front of her.
"Our father...he passed away a long time ago."
Crack!
Like thunder from a clear sky, a bolt of gold lightning as thick as a bucket burst forth from Zehtti's side.
The intense energy caused everyone in the distance, including Colin, to feel a numbing sensation, and their hair involuntarily stood on end.
However, the building seemed specially made, and the walls were only slightly shattered under such lightning.
"Come with me," after a while, Zehtti finally calmed down and softly said, looking at Anna and the rest.
