Chapter 182: Information obtained from the crystal
When the group learned from Geminia that Milica and Lucinda had already crossed the middle layer, the sun had long since disappeared below the horizon.
Everyone understood that although there were no barriers for the two of them, the rules against flying were still in effect. It will take a long time to get to them. According to rough calculations, Milica and Lucinda's pair should reach the group sometime by tomorrow morning, if they both continue to move non-stop all night.
When the group learned from Geminia that Milica and Lucinda had already crossed the middle layer, the sun had long since disappeared below the horizon.
Everyone understood that although there were no barriers for the two of them, the rules against flying were still in effect. It will take a long time to get to them. According to rough calculations, Milisa and Lucinda's pair should reach the group sometime by tomorrow morning, if they both continue to move non-stop all night.
Apart from the «Reset» day, today was the end of their fourth day here. Tomorrow will be the fifth, then the sixth, and on the seventh day there will be a «Reset».
They had two full days before the next «Reset». That would be enough to leave the Restricted Area and reach the second city. But thanks to the fact that now this Forbidden Zone had become Nemo's territory, and the clearing had become a safe zone, no one was going to leave.
Everyone, without exception, decided to spend this time here and experience what it's like to experience a "Reset" outside the three cities and see the Forbidden Zone move.
Idan and Arabel, having finished their conversation, joined the others for dinner.
They decided to wait until Milica arrived, and when everyone was gathered together, they would both have to leave soon.
The system has already calculated the exact time of their return. They will return to their world at the very moment when Nemo leaves Limbo and returns to Junonia.
Nemo soon joined the others.
There wasn't much information contained in the crystal, and Nemo quickly absorbed it.
The crystal held information, mostly about the Forbidden Zone, which had now become his personal territory. It also contained information about the upcoming challenge, the seven impregnable dungeons, and how to use the key.
Upon hearing this news, everyone looked at Nemo with impatience. These exciting discoveries were too tempting, and everyone was eager to hear about them.
Nemo, of course, having trusted everyone, even Sierra and Esme, did not hide the information and shared it with everyone.
He started by telling me about the Forbidden Zone. As Geminia mentioned earlier, the Temple will no longer be teleported out of this area, becoming Nemo's personal property.
Now there are only two orphan temples left in Limbo, which will move between the remaining eight Forbidden Zones, waiting for other applicants to appear.
After hearing this news, everyone thought about it and frowned slightly.
"What about the next trial? Is it already available, or will you have to wait for the other two?" Sierra asked Nemo.
"The trial will be available immediately after I leave Limbo. I don't have to wait for the other two. I can go through everything, even if no one shows up!" — Nemo answered without concealment.
And that calmed everyone down. If Nemo had to wait for someone else to pass the trial and take over another temple, it is unknown how much time they would have to spend waiting.
Now that they knew what awaited them after successfully passing the Forbidden Zone trial, when a Temple appeared there, everyone began to wonder whether it was worth trying to capture the remaining two Temples as well.
Soon, their attention was attracted by new information that Nemo reported. He said that, being the owner of the Temple, he had the opportunity to capture two more of any Forbidden Zones.
This, of course, caused a strong reaction from everyone. Owning one Forbidden Zone was already something incredible, but being able to capture two more?
It went beyond everything.
According to Nemo, he may try to conquer the Forbidden Zones if there are no Temples in them.
Usually, if a Temple does not appear in a Forbidden Zone, the zone is considered out of business and its importance is devalued. However, the situation has changed since Nemo received the Temple.
Now, when Nemo enters the Forbidden Zone and wants to capture it, a war begins between his Zone and this Zone. If Nemo manages to win, then this Forbidden Zone will become his personal territory. And so, he can conquer any two of the eight Forbidden Zones.
Nemo shared with the others not very detailed information about the upcoming trial.
He said he would know the details as soon as he left Limbo.
The new challenge will involve seven impregnable dungeons.
Nemo learned from the crystal that all seven dungeons are unique and somewhat resemble Limbo's Forbidden Zones. Instead of layers, the dungeons are divided into floors, and every seven days their interiors are changed and rebuilt. In addition, the location of the entrances to the dungeons, which are scattered throughout the Maze continent, is also changing, which makes it more difficult not only to find the entrance, but also to find the right dungeon.
The last information received from the crystal was about the key that would play a key role in the upcoming trial and would be the key to getting out of Limbo.
Nemo found out that there is a special door inside the Temple that will serve as an exit from Limbo. To open it, you need a key and a special code that you need to enter to get through.
Another important discovery was that the key can be used repeatedly, but it takes time to recharge between each opening of the passage. Because of this, Nemo won't be able to travel from Junonia to Limbo and back as often.
Although everyone really wanted to see the mysterious door, they decided to wait a bit.
After quickly digesting the information they received, the group finally came together to celebrate Nemo's success.
Everyone took out their most delicious dishes, and Sierra pulled out the rarest drinks she had in stock.
Everyone was in a great mood and had a great time.
Coco and Kitty took photos from time to time, and Coco took the opportunity to beg Arabel for candy. She certainly succeeded. However, when she tried to repeat her trick with Idan, she met his menacing gaze, which scared her, and she immediately abandoned the idea.
The last time Sierra treated Esma, Arabel, and Lucinda, Idan was excluded from the company, and he was unable to taste alcoholic beverages from another world. However, this time he fully enjoyed their taste.
In the end, Idan didn't notice how he overestimated his strength and got drunk too quickly. He only came to his senses the next morning, discovering that he was sleeping in someone else's tent with Arabel in his arms.
Idan was horrified, but immediately calmed down when he saw that both of them were sleeping with their clothes on and nothing seemed to have happened.
Just as he was about to stand up, he heard a familiar click. Turning around, he saw Coco pointing a camera at him and taking a photo.
