Ronan had a flash of inspiration too, but the more he spoke, the more interesting it seemed. "If it's all spacetime information, there's no need to distinguish between Earth and the Mist Labyrinth. There shouldn't be any requirement as to where the location is, right?"
High Priest Lanier paused, clearly caught off guard by Ronan's suggestion, and instinctively confirmed it. "The Relay Station?"
"Exactly. Mountain Lord came over to find me last week—oh, the weekend before last. He should have spoken with Your Excellency High Priest already."
"Would that work?"
"Why wouldn't it? Both sides are in the Mist Labyrinth. It might even make communication easier..."
As Ronan spoke, he suddenly paused as well. If both sides were in the Mist Labyrinth, then this exchange of information and mutual mapping already carried the flavor of a connection between spacetime rules.
Even if it did not, as long as the mapping succeeded, could they keep increasing their "chips" and ask the Balance of Truth to further refine this connection? With some more work on this side, wouldn't the late-stage result be equivalent to opening a fast route between the Relay Station and the Gate of Truth?
If so, the problem of difficult movement within the Mist Labyrinth would be solved at once. Subsequent exploration would become far more convenient.
Could the Balance of Truth achieve that? Whether it could or not, they could try first.
Looking again at High Priest Lanier's expression, Ronan found it somewhat subtle. "If it's the Relay Station, my understanding of that place is still inadequate. Spacetime-related matters are not my specialty either..."
Ronan smiled. "The Relay Station isn't some extraordinary place. Your Excellency High Priest can go there, familiarize yourself with it, and communicate directly with your cult's holy relic. If that does not work, we
