The natural node was deeply hidden, but under the powerful search ability of spiral positioning, it still had nowhere to hide. The Invisible Dragon swiftly approached the natural node, then relied on its innate ability to break through the natural node's already not-so-"thick" material boundary.
The instant the boundary was torn open, Liszt saw the scenery outside.
It was an enclosed environment filled with lush, verdant trees. Only after he and the Invisible Dragon had completely flown out of the natural node did he clearly see that this was inside the crater of an extinct volcano. Once they flew out of the volcano, he looked down from on high and saw the volcano where the Phoenix-Roosting Parasol stood not far to the left.
The Endless Volcano Range had nine active volcanoes, as well as many extinct volcanoes, most of which had yet to be named.
This extinct volcano likewise had no name.
"The natural node is inside the crater. That makes transportation rather inconvenient, unless... we tunnel through the volcano. Hmm, if A Ke chooses this place as one of the magic gates, I'll organize a group of ancient magicians to blast away at it and try to open up a volcanic tunnel as soon as possible."
With Thorn Ironwood, rubber water, and the cement soon to be developed, they already possessed the ability to construct tunnels.
Although this world had no large tunnel-boring machines, it had magic. Magicians might not be much in combat, but when their magic was turned toward civilian use, its effects were immediately obvious. Even if the ancient magicians could not break through the rock layers inside the mountain, there was still A Ke, a magus. Her super magic—Spiral Ultra-High-Pressure Water Drill—could grind even metal to pieces, let alone a mere mountain.
Thus—
