"It might be the giants from the tales," the Second Elder spoke in a low voice . "They are probably related to the tea pots and vases we saw earlier . "
"You might be right but this scale is too large even for the giants…" The First Elder looked surprised as he stared at the scale .
"There's another one there!" one of the wizards shouted .
They looked in the direction that the voice came from and found another humongous gray scale on the far left .
Angele glanced around but the only thing he could see was the green grass . There were no strangers around .
He applied some force to his feet and flew into the air .
Angele flew for a while and started observing the area . He noticed that the grass on the ground was slowly turning yellow .
The color turned from light green to dark green and from dark green to bright yellow . It seemed like the color of the grass was changing under the sunlight .
The color was shifting back and forth between green and bright yellow .
Angele's brow furrowed as he started landing .
"Calm down, everyone . I think something is a bit off," he shouted and tried to calm the crowd down .
The crowd slowly stopped talking and they all looked at Angele . "Master Green, did you find anything?" Mike stepped forward, it seemed like the wizards considered him as the representative .
Angele shook his head . "I didn't find anything, but I think something is missing in the air…"
The First Elder walked to Angele and nodded . "We noticed that too . Vivian and Second Elder checked the situation . They had a similar conclusion . This is probably not our destination . Although the radiation energy is weak here, the energy movements are unpredictable . It means that only a few creatures will be able to live here . This is not an ideal environment for human beings . "
Angele nodded . "I agree with what First Elder just said . This is not the destination . Turn your heads around and observe carefully . "
They all turned their heads around and started observing .
All they could see was a land that was covered with green grass, there was no trace of the tornado . It was almost like that the tornado was never there .
Mike had a strange expression on the face . "The tornado is gone… Will we be able to go back to the central continent in the future?"
They looked at Angele as they heard Mike's words . Angele was the one that brought them to this area and they assumed that Angele knew the answer .
"I don't know . " Angele shook his head . "I think the scales are the answer to the secret . We should check them out . "
"I agree . " The First Elder nodded .
"The color of the grass is changing," one of the wizards shouted .
"The grass was green but it's golden now…" Vivian crouched and pulled some grass .
*CHI*
The grass turned into gray dust in the wind right after it was pulled off the ground .
"It doesn't matter . Let's head to the scales," Angele spoke in a deep tone . "Get on the carriages, everyone . "
They returned to the carriages and the bulls started heading to the scale that the closest to the caravan .
The bulls were extremely high in Stamina, they just needed to be fed once every couple of months . The bulls were perfect for long travels and relatively fast when compared to normal creatures . They could run as fast as a human knight .
*************************
The sky was blue and the golden sunlight shined upon the top of the mountain . The green grass glowed under the sunlight .
On top of the hill, there was an enormous scale that was over 3000 meters tall . The scale was black and it looked like that the scale was made of pieces of rocks . Its surface was covered with tiny cracks and green moss . It seemed like the scale had been standing here for years .
The two dishes hanging on both sides of the scale were balanced, they were not leaning at all .
*GA GA*
A white shadow passed through the blue sky, it was a bird with no head making some strange noises . The bird slowly landed on the left dish and started drinking water from it .
*MOO*
The caravan slowly stopped by the scale; the bulls were still mooing .
The carriages were all painted in black and were barely noticeable by the scale . They looked like tiny black dots when compared to it .
A ball of red light was released from the first carriage and the light ball was flying up .
The light ball had the shape of an egg and was translucent . There were red flames burning inside the ball; it slowly landed on the edge of the left dish and turned into a human being .
It was a man in a black robe who had long red hair . The man's skin was pale and there was a confident expression on his face . It was Angele, who decided to check the situation alone .
Angele stood on the edge of the dish and looked at the water . The dish had a diameter of over 300 meters and it almost looked like a lake . The golden sunlight was reflected in the shimmering water and the wind was blowing gently .
There were several white birds with no head standing on the edge of the dish, drinking water using their necks .
*CHI CHI*
Angele heard the noise coming from the other side and quickly checked the source of the noise . A ball of white fog landed on the other dish, it was the Second Elder .
Angele quickly activated the communication rune; he could hear the Second Elder's voice echoing in his ears .
"Green, did you find anything?"
Angele shook his head and responded, "No, the only thing I can see here is some water . What about you?"
The Second Elder replied in a strange tone, "Well, I found a huge pattern here . I've never seen anything like this . I'll show it to you . "
An egg-shaped white light screen appeared in front of Angele's body after the Second Elder finished his words . A strange red pattern was displayed on the light screen .
The pattern looked like a circle with two triangles on its top . Inside the circle, there were countless runes that weren't following any particular order . There were strings, triangles, squares, insects, creatures, and human beings . Some of the runes were simple but most of them were complicated .
Angele narrowed his eyes and observed the pattern carefully . He felt like that he had seen it somewhere .
Vivian's voice came from the light screen . "I have no idea what this pattern is . The runes inside circle don't make any sense…"
The First Elder also joined the conversation . "I think those are just random runes that have no actual meaning . I'll show them to the other wizards . Wait a bit . "
Some wizards failed to reach higher ranks but they might know more . The wizards who explored different areas of the world usually knew more about information like this so they just started waiting for the First Elder's response .
Angele could hear other people talking through the light screen .
He started thinking as his brow furrowed . Some blue light flashed in front of his eyes and it seemed like the biochip reminded him of something .
"I've seen a similar pattern in some random books . The pattern has no actual meaning, however, it's used for explaining and sharing certain information . "
"Huh?" The First Elder was a bit surprised, he did not expect Angele to know the things that they had never seen .
"What is the pattern trying to explain then? Maybe it's related to the scale?"
"That's possible . " Angele nodded .
Vivian agreed, "Yeah, those runes are not releasing any energy waves, that might be the only explanation . "
"Who's there?!" someone suddenly shouted below, it seemed like they found something .
Angele and the Second Elder jumped off the dishes immediately . They were dropping at full speed but they landed on the ground without any problem .
Mike and two male black robes surrounded a strange human-shaped creature in the center . They were standing on the empty ground by the carriages .
The wizards already prepared their magic devices, the magic devices were glowing . It seemed like they could be activated at any time .
"What happened?"
The crowd led by the First Elder gathered around them . Angele and the Second Elder also approached them .
They had a clear view of the person that was surrounded by the wizards .
The man was strange . He was wearing a gray linen outfit, and his head was a large magnifier, its glass slightly curved .
The man looked just like a normal male human besides the magnifier head .
"Don't kill me! Please!" The mentality waves the man released were sending the message to the wizards around .
The man shook his head and the wizards' faces reflected on the magnifier .
The First Elder moved closer to the man and asked the wizards not to cast the spells .
"Who're you? Are you a resident of this area?" he questioned using the mentality wave .
Using mentality waves to trade messages was a basic technique, however, only simple messages could be delivered through the mentality wave . The technique was still used by some old races with strong mentality .
The man calmed down after he received the First Elder's message . "I'm a magnifier man… the ritual… is not my fault…"
He pointed at the First Elder and then pointed at the scale behind him .
"A ritual?" Vivian noticed that the man said that word when he was pointing at the scale . "Do you mean that the scale is used for a ritual?"
However, it seemed like the man did not understand the sentence .
Vivian repeated the sentence using mentality waves but the man just pointed at the scale .
"Exchange… Ritual… You…!" he suddenly shouted and the wizards were a bit surprised .
"It disappears…"
"Disappeared?" Vivian and the First Elder exchanged eye contact . "Maybe the scale has the ability to start a certain ritual . The things in the circle refer to the things that can be sacrificed and that's why there are many things in it . I think that the scale can be activated using a sacrificial ritual and it will teleport us somewhere else . "
"I think you're right . " Angele suddenly opened his mouth; his eyes were covered by red glow . He checked the magnifier man's memory and acquired random pieces of information . The portal could only be activated through the ritual .
"Let's give it a try . "
"Sure, let me try the portal . " Vivian flew to the left dish right away .
"What should we use as the offering then?" Fthe irst Elder wondered .
"I have a magical heart here . " Angele took out a gray heart from the mirror; the heart was still pumping .
