World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 245 - 129: Guardian of the Passage
Chapter 245: Chapter 129: Guardian of the Passage
Although the Wencheen brothers were merely ordinary people, they never lacked imagination and had clearly made some guesses about the term "portal."
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t waste any words and directly demonstrated the use of this teleportation point.
This time, he didn’t use the "Unlimited Teleportation" ability from the Star Ring and instead, he consumed Dark Energy to activate the Teleportation Technique.
Accompanied by the consumption of 50 points of Dark Energy, Zhang Xiaoman set the target to this teleportation point in Oxford, England.
As soon as his skill was activated, a silver-white Seven-Pointed Star Array suddenly lit up under his feet. Circles of light fluctuated with it, and amidst intense Dark Energy Fluctuations, Zhang Xiaoman’s figure vanished from the spot.
At the same time, the ten Star Alliance Markers in the basement suddenly lit up, and apparitions emerged from the walls, illuminating the entire space with a radiant glow akin to the stars.
The circle formed by the ten markers kept expanding and eventually formed a circular portal three meters in diameter filled with profound darkness. A figure stepped out from it, and it was Zhang Xiaoman, who had just vanished.
Since he had activated the Teleportation Technique just now, Zhang Xiaoman had entered a peculiar space. In front of him was a circular exit, with the scene outside being the interior of the Wencheen family’s basement.
He immediately passed through the circular exit, reappearing in front of everyone. The surrounding light also disappeared with him, making it seem as if he had just walked out from within the wall.
Facing such an intense visual impact, the Wencheen brothers were so shocked that they were left speechless.
If it weren’t for Zhang Xiaoman’s earlier explanation to them that he was an Awakener, they would definitely have thought this man in a dark purple robe was a legendary mage.
Even Lin Sisi, standing nearby, was somewhat stunned by the scene. Although she was blind, she could observe this spectacle from a different perspective through the by Dark Energy sensing of her Spirit Detection Technique, which was equally astonishing.
This was also the first time Zhang Xiaoman had used the Teleportation Technique, and he now had a general understanding of this ability.
Unlike the Unlimited Teleportation activated with his status as Star Lord, the Teleportation Technique had many more restrictions.
It required first completing the drawing of a Dark Energy Formula, and during its use, other actions were not possible. The lengthy preparation time of 20 seconds was also easily disrupted by external interferences.
Although this skill had impressive effects, Zhang Xiaoman still preferred the silent mode of Unlimited Teleportation, which not only allowed him to specify the landing point but was also more discreet.
It couldn’t be helped; that was just the kind of low-profile person he was.
"This is the ’portal’ I mentioned earlier; after being activated using a specific Magic Technique, it can open at any time to transport us here."
"The Wencheen family, back then, were the guardians who watched over this portal. It’s just a pity that you couldn’t withstand those three hundred years of silence..."
"However, fortunately, the legacy hasn’t ceased yet. I’ve already found the descendants of the original guardians, and I hope that from now on, you will take up your ancestors’ duty again and continue guarding this vital portal."
With these words, the Wencheen brothers suddenly realized the significance, combining what they had previously learned about the Star Alliance. They now had a clearer understanding of their family ancestors’ identity and responsibilities.
"So, this is the place our family has always been guarding, the secret hidden beneath the Land of Harvest..."
"I can’t believe it; father was right all along; I’ve been wrongfully blaming him. If I had helped him search back then, maybe he wouldn’t have..."
Watching the thoughtful expressions of the two people in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman chose not to say anything more. Sometimes, talking too much could strip away the mystery, leaving some space for others to imagine on their own.
The matters in the basement had been almost settled, and they returned to the upper level again.
Passing the burnt granary, the two brothers couldn’t help but recall the scene of Old Winchern’s death, which caused the atmosphere to become somewhat somber.
Sam, who had always thought his father suffered from delusions and had a strained relationship with him, even let a few tears fall.
Dane noticed his brother’s demeanor and walked over to stand by his side.
"Father was a hero. He must have discovered the monster hiding here and fought bravely to prevent it from escaping. Unfortunately, the Wencheen family had already lost its former strength, and father was defeated. However, he succeeded in trapping the monster in the basement in the end. Otherwise, we might not have had the chance to wait for Lord Jixing to come," Dane said.
"I know, Dane. I just regret not choosing to believe you all back then..."
Dane patted his shoulder, comforting him, "Don’t be sad. Buck up; father wouldn’t want to see you like this. We have now restored our family’s honor. As long as we guard this place well for Lord Jixing and get the chance to kill a few more monsters, that’s what our parents would wish to see."
"Dane... I’m sorry for how I treated you before... don’t worry, I will walk this path with you!"
"..."
While the two were comforting each other, Zhang Xiaoman noticed several figures peeking over towards them from not far from the granary.
"It seems you’ve attracted a few followers just now..."
Dane, following Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze, saw the group of seven or eight people and frowned, "I’m very sorry, I was negligent. I’ll go and drive them away right now."
Sam quickly interjected, "No, let me do it. I want to start contributing, starting from here."
Dane shrugged, "Alright, it’s all yours then."
Not far away, the members of the Canglan Expedition Team had been here for a while, following the Wencheen brothers.
At the auction, they had seen Dane and Sam rushing out of the building, sensing that something was amiss. After a brief discussion, they decided to follow and see what was happening.
Upon their arrival, what they saw was Sam following Dane into the abandoned granary.
Since they had sneaked in, they did not dare to get too close and merely waited silently behind a nearby haystack.
This wait turned into more than half an hour. As only Xia Sha had brought an umbrella, apart from her and another girl, all the other boys were thoroughly soaked.
At this moment, Shi Yong, growing bored, took out the two photos he always carried with him and looked at them again.
In these photos were the Star Alliance Marker and the Guardian Shield of the Wencheen family they had gathered previously.
