Hearing my suggestion, Nanase agreed very happily.
And she proactively began recounting her life experiences in Japan.
After walking forward in the forest for about ten kilometers, we reached the base of a small earthen slope.
The slope wasn't large, but one side was a vertical drop, requiring us to detour around.
After detouring to the bottom of the slope, Orsted recited a few phrases in the Dragon God language. Then the earthen wall on one side of the cliff split open from the middle.
Revealing a downward stone staircase. It was indeed quite miraculous. But, as expected, there was a Dragon God language? I wonder where I could find someone to learn it.
Nanase had clearly been here before. She walked behind Orsted, and not wanting to be left behind, I followed behind Nanase down the stairs.
Reaching the bottom, we could see a stone-walled basement.
There were several rooms. I didn't look around much. Orsted walked straight toward the room in the very center.
AI Model: gemini-3.0-flash
After entering the room, I touched a protruding stone brick, and then a wall at the front of the basement vanished as if it had never been there.
After going inside, I saw the Teleportation Magic Circle we were to use this time.
The magic circle was carved onto a stone pedestal, with a dragon-shaped emblem above it. This probably meant it was a magic circle exclusive to the Dragon Tribe, right?
Orsted did not step directly onto the circle. I saw him form several hand seals at the emblem, and then the dragon's eyes on that emblem suddenly lit up, as if they were meeting Orsted's own eyes.
Subsequently, the entire room, including the magic circle, lit up.
Could it be that this magic circle requires someone with Dragon God bloodline to activate it?
Then there's probably no hope for me if I want to borrow this circle in the future.
I feel that my relationship with Orsted hasn't reached that level yet; I'll ask him about borrowing the Teleportation Magic Circle after we've collaborated a few more times!
After the magic circle glowed, we stepped into the Teleportation Magic Circle one by one.
The moment my feet stepped into the magic circle, I felt the whole world blur. All sorts of strange lights passed by my side.
It was a feeling of not belonging to this world.
Subjective time felt quite long, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed. We appeared in another room.
Because it was my first teleportation, I was still in a daze after arriving. My mind was still feeling that sensation of light piercing through me just now.
Nanahoshi walked up to me, first waving her hand in front of my eyes, and then shaking my body with her hands.
I then regained consciousness; actually, I should have already regained my senses, but my brain was unintentionally still processing the sensation produced during the transfer.
I have a very strange sense of discomfort in my heart; I feel like this isn't the first time I've experienced teleportation. I hope this is just an illusion.
After coming to my senses, I thanked Nanahoshi and left the basement of the teleportation circle together.
Upon reaching the surface, I found that this place was a very barren desert, with massive mountain ranges in the distance.
It didn't look like the Central Continent. I recalled the book 'traveling the world' written by Master Bladiconde that I had read before.
This kind of desolate land and the gloomy sky—this is undoubtedly the Demon Continent.
Although the Bekalite Continent and the Heaven Continent are also very desolate in novels, the local skies are still very bright. They wouldn't have this gloomy feeling.
For some unknown reason, not only is the land on the Demon Continent barren, but the sunlight is also different from other places. Perhaps this is the main reason why agriculture has always been underdeveloped in this land!
Without staying for too long, we began walking across the land of the Demon Continent.
The Demon Continent should be one of the most dangerous continents in this world.
Guardian monsters that only appear in ruins and labyrinths on the Central Continent are just minor characters seen everywhere by the roadside here.
Although Orsted's curse exists, there are still stubborn monsters that choose not to run away after encountering us, but instead rush forward to seek their deaths.
I don't know if Orsted is extremely confident. He usually waits for the monsters to rush in front of him before piercing them to death with a hand-knife.
For some monsters that were very large and rushed over with great momentum, I still killed them with long-range magic.
Think about it: if a bicycle rushes in front of you, you can dodge it calmly. But if a dump truck, with its high beams on and horn blaring, rushes toward you...
Even if you know someone will block it for you, your body will still subconsciously want to dodge to the other side.
I don't know if Nanahoshi is already used to it. When we encountered giant monsters charging at us, she would close her eyes and ears, pretending she knew nothing and saw nothing, standing behind Orsted.
I guess that is the correct way to do it!
After walking northwest on the Demon Continent for about five days, we finally saw a desolate small town.
