Chapter 371: The Secret of the Charged Crystal

"What else can I think of is that this huge charged crystal is not as square as we thought it would be, but an irregular shape, well, at least from a cross-sectional view. Zambit's nonchalant voice came from under the big hole, and it seemed that he was keeping his ears up to watch the movement above.

"Cross-section? Wait—" Alfie quickly took out the projection ball and re-projected the image that Zambit had just taken in the air, "Rebecca, look, what does the shape of the Charged Crystal look like from above?"

"Equilateral hexagons. Is there anything strange about this? This magic array still uses the shape of a six-pointed star, and the apex of the six-pointed star is the six vertices of the charging crystal......" Rebecca said as she was stunned for a moment, with an incredible expression on her face, "What do you mean-"

"It's a big possibility!" Alfie affirmed.

"Are you two guessing dumb riddles?" Katie's big eyes filled with doubt.

"Katie, I'll show you something, and you'll understand. Alfie knew that she wouldn't be able to explain it to Katie anytime soon, so she simply showed her the example.

Alfie fiddled with the projection ball as if by magic, then opened a small hole in the bottom of the projection ball, pulled out a spar with a faint blue light, and held it in her hand for Katie to see.

It is a diamond-shaped spar, and the top of the hexagonal spar is an equilateral hexagonal plane, and on this plane is engraved a very ordinary-looking hexagram, and the apex of the hexagram coincides with the apex of the hexagon.

"That's what you're referring to, what is this for?" asked Katie, curious.

"This is a magic crystal of some kind of magical beast, specially polished into this shape, and its function is to provide energy for this projection ball. Alfie explained to Katie as simply as possible.

"You mean this huge Charged Crystal under our feet does the same?" asked Katie in disbelief, she couldn't imagine what a terrifying device it would be to need such a huge Charged Crystal as an energy source.

"It's possible. Alfie didn't dare to say too much, after all, the device that could use such a large charging crystal as an energy source was far beyond his imagination, and even in his memories before he traveled over, the one that could use such a huge amount of energy only existed in people's science fiction dreams.

"There's nothing to doubt about it, you've probably seen a lot of similar energy installations in Ingnier's lab. Rebecca pointed to the hedron in Alfie's hand and said, "You see there are also two small holes here, don't they look like these two big holes under our feet?"

"I can probably guess what these two voids are for, that's where the energy is connected to the device, I'll take a look—that's right!" Alfie said, flipping the projection ball over and pointing to the two tiny metal needles in the space that had been revealed after the hedron had been removed.

"Do you mean these two metal pins can fit into these two holes in the hedron?" Katie compared, and found that Alfie made a point, the two holes in the hedron and the metal needles on the projection ball looked very well matched.

"That's right, these two metal needles can supply the energy stored in the hedron to the projection ball. Alfie explained as concisely as possible.

"Does that mean there should also be two metal needles in the two big holes under our feet?" guessed Katie.

"Judging by the diameter and depth of the big hole, it should be so. Alfie imagined it for a moment, and thought it should be about the same.

"Then here's the problem, we don't seem to have found two metal needles like this in this alien space. Rebecca glanced around, the tornado was already approaching, and they were still two kilometers away at most, and at this rate, they still had ten minutes left at most.

"I'm sure these two metal needles don't exist in this alternate dimension, otherwise it would be impossible for such a huge metal needle to go undetected by us. Alfie asserted.

"Do you think the metal needles are buried under the yellow sand outside of the Charged Crystal?" asked Katie after a moment's thought.

"It's unlikely. We once judged from Zambit's images taken from high in the sky that there was not much distance beyond the Charged Crystal that should be the edge of this alien space, and there was no reason to bury a metal needle in that place. Alfie thought for a moment and felt that this was unreasonable.

"However, there has been no similar object in the ruins of the castle, so the huge two metal needles must be very conspicuous in the ruins of the castle, and Kokura does not seem to have found anything special in the ruins of the castle before. Unless......" Katie Jr. guessed with some hesitation.

"Unless there's more than one alternate space like this in the castle. Alfie said.

"This is unlikely, isn't it? It's too risky to open up two different spaces in such a small place, aren't you afraid that the two spaces will tear each other apart and cause the space to collapse?" Rebecca categorically denied this possibility.

At the beginning, the witch Bi Xiut had mentioned to her some rules related to space magic, one of which was that if the two different spaces were too close, if there was not enough power to suppress them, then the two spaces would inevitably tear each other apart due to the competition for space energy. The end result of this is the collapse of the space, and no one can survive in the collapsed space in any way, not even the powerhouses of the Holy Realm, which belongs to the realm of the gods.

"Why is it impossible? Don't forget that the flame space where your senior brother Anthony is located should also be a different dimension. Alfie reminded.

"That's because the flame space is presided over by a senior brother, is there here?" Rebecca asked rhetorically.

"Just because we didn't find it doesn't mean we didn't—" Alfie said, and a thought flashed through his mind as a result of a thought, but he didn't catch it.

"Okay, even if there are people secretly presiding over this space, but the two metal needles you said are definitely not in the flame space, and according to your speculation, they are not in this space, so doesn't that mean that there is a third alternate space?

"I originally said that there is more than one alternate space here, and as for whether the third alternate dimension exists, we don't have a way or time to verify it now, and we really don't have much time left. "Regardless of where those two metal needles are, we can only hope to escape if we find them as soon as possible." ”

"Ahem, I don't think you've fallen into a misunderstanding? The so-called metal needles don't necessarily have only two needles, and even the two metal needles on the projection ball are connected to a lot of things behind it?"
