Chapter 275: Unexpected Teleportation
Outside the capital of El, a teleportation magic circle was slowly operating.
Ayla's previous teleportation spell, which involved a round trip, hadn't used up all its magic power, which conveniently made it easier for Kurtz and Serie to travel south and unify the empire.
However, since I've never been there before, I need to re-evaluate my location.
As for how to locate it, it's somewhat similar to landing on Earth from outer space. If the location is accurate, everything goes smoothly; if it's slightly off-center, it might end up in the sea.
"Is the location set up? Just teleport to the vicinity of their capital, and don't attract too much attention."
Serie confirmed that while she wasn't afraid of trouble, she didn't want to get caught up in unnecessary onlookers and conflicts immediately.
"I'll do my best." Kurtz's fingertips steadily channeled magic, controlling the circle's final destination.
However, just as the teleportation was about to begin, he frowned slightly. He sensed an unusually large and subtle energy fluctuation not far from the capital of the Southern Empire.
It was extremely faint, yet it interfered with the stability of his preset coordinates.
"Hmm?" He tried to correct himself, but the teleportation array had already been activated, and the blinding light instantly engulfed them both!
The unified empire in the south, above the capital.
The azure sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a dazzling magic circle radiating a heart-palpitating magical energy suddenly unfolded without warning!
Its scale was so large that it covered almost half of the imperial city area!
"Enemy attack?!"
"It's teleportation magic! High alert!"
Within the capital, countless mages immediately sensed the terrifying spatial fluctuations, their faces showing shock.
The defensive barrier of the capital was instantly activated, and a semi-transparent energy shield attempted to rise, but under the terrifying energy impact of the giant magic array, it was easily torn open like a piece of fragile paper, leaving a huge gap.
Deep within the palace, Friedrich, who was discussing matters with Emperor Leggett, suddenly looked up, his expression changing drastically: "This magical fluctuation, how is this possible?! It even directly tore apart the capital's magical barrier?!"
Emperor Leggett also abruptly stood up from his throne, sensing the terrifying magical fluctuations above the capital: "What's happening?!"
"Large-scale long-range teleportation magic!" Friedrich's voice was urgent, filled with disbelief. "Your Majesty! The first dwarf capital fell thousands of years ago when the demons used a similar method to launch a surprise attack on the capital!"
This thought sent chills down Leggett's spine. Was history about to repeat itself?!
But why me of all people?
"We must not let it complete! All mages, interrupt it immediately!"
Without any hesitation, Friedrich cast a flight spell and flew out of the palace, ordering powerful mages in the capital to intervene and forcibly interrupt the teleportation array in front of him.
During the foggy hour, hundreds of powerful magical rays rose from all parts of the city, each representing a powerful mage, carrying destructive energy as they slammed into the massive magic circle in the sky.
They attempted to forcibly disrupt or even destroy the other side before it was fully stable.
Inside the teleportation channel, Kurtz naturally sensed the attack from the outside, but what intrigued him even more was the sudden appearance of a source of interference when he was locating the coordinates.
He sensed the same power within it as Athos, namely the aura of a holy sword that had existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Could it be that the Sword of the Warrior is not far from the palace of the Southern Unified Empire?
But this is also outside the range that he and Ayla calculated.
Kurtz didn't dwell on this for too long; his first priority was to complete the teleportation spell.
"The location has been interfered with; the coordinates are anchored directly above their capital." His voice was very calm.
"The people outside are attacking the teleportation channel, trying to interrupt the teleportation magic."
Serie snorted coldly, her magical energy rippling slightly. "Shall we teach them a lesson?"
Although the teleportation process is not yet complete, Serie can cast spells to attack directly through the teleportation magic circle if she wants.
"Don't waste your energy, they can't break my magic."
Kurtz was very familiar with teleportation magic; it was simply impossible for these people to break his teleportation magic by brute force.
He simply manipulated the surrounding spatial power, and the spatial barrier around the teleportation channel instantly became more solid. The powerful magic attacks from the outside world could not even cause a ripple on it.
Friedrich and all the attacking mages were horrified!
Their combined attack had absolutely no effect! Just what terrifying being was this?
Under the watchful eyes of countless bewildered observers, the enormous magic circle in the sky reached its zenith before slowly dissipating.
There was no demon army as expected. Only two people were suspended silently in the high sky.
It was a very rare combination of a human and an elf. But when he saw the elf's face clearly, Friedrich's heart sank!
It's Sait Serie!
Why did she come here? And at this crucial moment?
Could it be that His Majesty's secret plan has been exposed?!
But who is that young human next to her?
Friedrich had seen Serie's portrait and knew that she had two personal disciples, but he had never heard of Serie having male disciples.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, braced himself, and took off in the air surrounded by a group of court mages, maintaining a safe distance: "So it is, Lady Serie. May I ask what brings you to the imperial capital?"
"The teleportation just now was quite loud and caused a slight misunderstanding. I hope you will forgive us for such a welcome."
Serie merely gave him a dismissive look, offering no reply whatsoever. Instead, she turned her gaze to Kurtz beside her, adopting an attitude of complete self-assurance.
This subtle movement only deepened Friedrich's suspicions and uncertainty. He waited.
Kurtz stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the Imperial mages below, who looked as if facing a formidable enemy, finally settling on Friedrich.
His voice, amplified by magic, resonated throughout the surroundings: "On behalf of Emperor Fidel of the Kingdom of El, I have important matters to discuss with your Emperor. There was a slight miscommunication during the teleportation, which may have disturbed you all."
"Humble apologies for scaring everyone." Kurtz finished with a sweet smile on his face.
Since the teleportation had gone awry, Kurtz simply explained his purpose and brought up Fidel, thus giving himself a legitimate excuse.
Friedrich's eye twitched slightly.
Representing Fidel?
He wouldn't have believed it if it were any other magician, especially after making such a commotion, but unfortunately, the person standing next to him was Serie!
However, since Serie is here and accompanying the other party, it means that the other party is completely serving the Kingdom of El.
Friedrich dared not be careless, especially since his opponent had displayed such terrifying strength.
"I see. It seems it was a misunderstanding." He tried to make his smile appear natural.
"Lady Serie and her companion are our distinguished guests who have come from afar. His Majesty will surely welcome you. Please follow me."
He gestured an invitation, but secretly cast a magical rune indicating the highest level of alert, putting all the mages in the capital on high alert.
