Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King-Chapter 946 Portal Open

?Thorin carefully inscribed the runes, and Wolfe translated for him, explaining all the meanings of the runes and why they had to be in that particular location in order for the spell to make sense and not send you to random locations.

Now that he had it recorded in the Inheritance, the knowledge came easily to him, and the lecture was somewhat reversed, with the actual lecturer doing the crafting work, while Wolfe gave the descriptions as he completed the circle.

A total of seventeen hundred runes were needed along with the ten diamonds, which Thorin set into silver stands to perfect their alignment.

Wolfe touched it with a hint of mana, and found that the Dwarf's work was flawless. All that it needed was a layer of silver bonded with the stone of the floor to become a permanent portal location which would lead directly to the trial on his world.

He could sense the trial's protective spells the moment that he inserted the mana and the portal device found its destination.

"Alright, I will make this permanent now that I know it's going to the right spot. Then Thorin can do the honours of opening it for us, and we will find some suckers, err volunteers to test their skills against the trials." Wolfe announced.

The others laughed, and a few of them started offering suggestions. There was a whole group of Rank One mages who were trying to advance to Rank Two among the University security team, and the consensus was that they should be sent first. freew𝚎bn𝐨𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝚘𝗺

They needed the opportunity, and if this was a valid training resource, they would almost certainly advance in a single trip.

Everyone waited for the next few minutes until the security team arrived, confused as to why they had been summoned to a lecture at the top of an abandoned tower, and what they were expected to do if there was trouble. Any fight between these Nobles would obliterate them accidentally before they ever got to intervene.

Thorin opened his arms in a welcoming gesture. "Ah, our volunteers. Welcome. Today, we have a wonderful opportunity for you. You see, our advanced Artificing class was learning to create a portal formation, and we have chosen the trial grounds on Saint Noxus's world as the target.

Now, it is in a time loop with safety measures, so there is only a minor risk of death, and it adjusts to your power level. All we ask is that you enter and do your best as a group to complete the trials and advance to Rank Two, so we can finish our analysis."

The security guards weren't nearly as enthusiastic about this as the ones who had volunteered them, but it was also a once-in-a-lifetime level opportunity to just advance by a Rank.

They drew their weapons and stepped through the portal, which switched from a plain white circle of magic to a view of the inside of a tunnel once there was someone inside the trial.

That was Wolfe's signal to get to work, and he activated the portal device in his pocket, opening a small portal in front of himself that showed him his room in Forest Grove.

There was no sign of the time loop spell or the trial instance spells, so he should be able to portal past the loop as long as he qualified with the positive intentions necessary to get around the protective spells on the region.

The whole trial was surrounded by a [Kind Intentions] spell to help keep invading armies from bypassing the region this way, and Wolfe couldn't help but be impressed by the intricacy of the spell that had been cast, which sorted incoming spells so efficiently.

Now all that he had to do was finish up here, collect his Artificer, and take everyone home.

They were not likely to close this portal now that it was active, but Wolfe estimated that they had about five minutes before Petros excused himself from his class to come see what they were doing.

He could already sense the man's attention on them, and the Portal Device. It wasn't like a Rank Eight mage would be able to miss a spell activation on this level.

He stepped through a portal a few seconds later and looked around the room.

"And whose idea was it to actually open the portal and send security guards through it?" He asked.

About half the room looked guilty, as they had all been in favour of the idea. Most of them were planning to go themselves once the security guards made it out alive, and nobody had spoken against the idea.

Petros sighed. "Never mind. I see how it is now. You all heard about the trial, and it was too much for you to resist. At least you were wise enough to open it in a shielded classroom in case something went wrong.

For all you know, the Upper Planes beings that helped make it could have come through to smite you the moment the portal opened."

Everyone turned to Wolfe, who just shrugged.

"They don't care enough to come smite random mortals. Sure, one helped set up the trials, but that's more of a form of entertainment for them than anything. If they wanted to come deal with the people of your world, they could just show up, there's nothing stopping them from coming here." Wolfe informed them.

Someone was about to mention the Divine One, but if it came down to it, they weren't certain that it would actually intervene for anyone but the higher ranked among them. The Divine One had a whole realm full of powerful beings, it didn't need them, they were just followers.

Then a thought occurred to Wolfe. "You know, he summoned me in the first place because I was sending your people into the time loop, so maybe I shouldn't have opened it for more of you to go through."

Petros laughed. "You just realized that? Well, I suppose it won't hurt anything, the Divine One knows all, and they can see how excited everyone is to try out the tests."
