Chapter 245: Deployment of Spiritual Power Clone

Chapter 245

The moment the Star Gate was connected, Lin En mobilized his powerful mental power and quickly reviewed all of Viscount Leighton's experiences in the past month.

Although a month is not a long time, a lot of things happened.

But with Lin En's current mental strength as a third-level wizard, this information was almost instantly sorted out in his mind and summarized into three key events.

The first thing is that after receiving Lin En's guidance, Viscount Leighton quickly comprehended the promotion path of the Violet Flower Totem.

In just a few days, he successfully refined the violet flower totem, which was originally only at the third level of black iron, into the "Violet King" at the brass level.

Just as the pursuers were about to arrive, Layton successfully completed his promotion and officially became a brass alchemist.

In Lanyu Province, the status of this identity almost jumped tenfold! The second thing was the huge reversal brought about by this promotion.

The pursuers who were ready to "capture people" all changed their expressions slightly after learning that Layton was already a Bronze Alchemist.

What's more, no one spoke up for Layton because of his humble status and weak power.

Now that his status has been reversed, many local alchemists in Lanyu Province have come out to speak for him.

In addition, he actively proved that he had no contact with the "teacher" for more than ten years, completely clearing himself of suspicion and the blame was finally lifted.

The third thing best demonstrates Layton's intelligence and decisiveness.

Although he was cleared of any suspicion, he remains one of the suspects.

So he took the opportunity to "turn from darkness to light" and chose to become a tainted witness.

Firstly, Klaus George, his former mentor, had betrayed him, framed him, and put him to death;

Secondly, standing on the side of the pursuers can protect oneself and accumulate more bargaining chips.

As a result, Layton began to actively assist the Quetzalcoatl and became its external liaison, trying to lure out the former mentor who had long been corrupted.

So far, Viscount Leighton has gone through a month full of thrills and ups and downs.

Lin En's eyes darkened slightly, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a thoughtful arc.

"I see... That means that Viscount Layton has now become a peripheral member of the Quetzalcoatl and is trying to lure out Klaus George."

At this moment, Lynn had a complete understanding of Layton's current situation.

Previously, Lin En captured Viscount Layton, who had a strong desire to survive, through the Star Gate and chose him as his step to enter this plane of existence.

Now, the difficulties faced by Layton have been basically resolved.

Lynn could sense that although Layton harbored resentment and hatred towards Klaus, the "mentor" who betrayed him, his flame of revenge was not strong.

If Quetzalcoatl could make proper arrangements, he wouldn't mind cooperating with the operation to draw out Klaus's trail;

But it is obviously unrealistic for him to take the initiative to search and take the risk to track down.

After all, the Viscount has held a high position for many years and is accustomed to the dignity and enjoyment of the nobility.

It is obviously unlikely to let him return to the alchemist world and fight to the death in the midst of swords and sabers.

Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly, but he had already made a judgment in his heart:

"But... I didn't intend to rely entirely on this chess piece..."

He slowly turned around and looked at the Great Wizard Helen and others who were standing on the platform of the Wizard Tower and operating various instruments, and said lightly: "Are you ready?"

"All ready, Master Qinglin!"

Several great wizards responded almost at the same time, their tone full of awe and awe.

Lin En nodded slightly:

"Very good. Next, we will start the first deployment and maximize the secret function of the Starry Sky Gate."

As early as when the connection was first made, Lin En deliberately did not put in any objects. The purpose was to prevent the energy fluctuations from the alien world from being detected by the "origin of the world" in this dimension and causing unnecessary rejection and interference.

Now, the Star Gate has been running stably for two days, which is enough to complete an in-depth analysis of the energy system of this plane.

Lin En had also dealt with the relevant energy interference in advance and deliberately cleared out all the leaked "alien aura".

Now, when items are dropped, it will not arouse the vigilance of the Origin of the World, and "silent infiltration" can be truly achieved.

Wizards often have a variety of "deployment strategies" when conducting plane expeditions.

Some will deploy loyal apprentices who are personally trained;

Some directly drop objects or strange creations;

Some wizards prefer mental clones.

This time, Lin En chose the latter.

It is worth mentioning that only when the wizard's cultivation reaches the third-level great wizard, the mental power will be sublimated from liquid to solid form.

Only with this kind of quality can one stably separate and transform into a "spiritual clone".

For example, the clone of the third-level great wizard Yode, whom Lin En met in his previous plane expedition, was like this.

This clone is far inferior to the original body, with only the initial combat power of a second-level wizard, or even weaker.

But it is, after all, a clone of the original body, possessing its own thoughts and abilities, completely equivalent to a smaller version of itself.

Along with the shining stars and roars deep in the starry sky gate, a light golden beam of light suddenly burst out from Lin En's forehead, like a sharp blade cutting through the void, and shot directly at the dazzling star gate.

For a moment, Lin En's eyes froze slightly, and a brief moment of absent-mindedness emerged from the depths of his mind.

But in a flash, he returned to normal, his expression as calm as water.

Cutting mental energy and condensing clones is an extremely difficult operation for any third-level wizard.

The division of mental power means the weakening of the soul, although it will not shake the foundation of the realm.

However, the spirit will be affected in a short period of time and needs to be slowly recovered through potions, meditation and even high-level resources.

"Cutting the spirit is nothing... If the soul is to be divided in the future, that will be the real tearing apart of the body and soul..."

This thought flashed through his mind, but Lin En immediately suppressed it and looked towards the Starry Sky Gate again.

The starlight in the door is surging, shining like the sea.

And at the moment when that beam of mental power rushed into the star gate, the entire platform was calm, and not even a trace of unnecessary energy fluctuations was aroused.

The next moment, the scene inside the Starry Sky Gate appeared in Lin En's eyes.

That is the laboratory where Viscount Layton is.

At this moment, Layton was kneeling in front of the laboratory table, holding a thick character dictionary, and carefully flipping through each page.

In his other hand, he still held the worn pocket watch, with an expectant look on his face, waiting for new instructions from "Grandfather".

Right at this moment.

A starlight that was difficult for mortal eyes to capture quietly emerged, as if a ray of consciousness was cast from the depths of the distant universe. Lin En's spiritual clone silently penetrated the space like a ghost and sank directly into the pocket watch! Viscount Layton was unaware of it and still knelt there devoutly, waiting for a response respectfully.

He didn't even notice that there was a strange spiritual presence in his pocket watch.

Outside the Starry Sky Gate, Lin En watched the scene quietly and nodded slowly.

Delivery completed.

No ripples, no traces.

There was no sign of vibration in the star gate, indicating that the origin of the alien world did not notice the infiltration of mental power this time.

The whole operation was perfect.

Immediately afterwards, Lin En controlled his mental clone through the star gate, gradually transferring the "control" of the pocket watch to his own clone so that he could intervene in the situation at any time.

His eyes swept across the energy tank next to the Star Gate and found that nearly half of the reserves had not yet been consumed.

This meant that he could still synchronize the flow of time in the two worlds and continue to observe here, but he had no intention of staying any longer.

The mental clone is in place and can serve as a remote execution center to remotely control Viscount Layton's actions.

Inside the star gate, Lin En's clone has slowly started to control the hands of the pocket watch.

The hands of the pocket watch trembled slightly, emitting a faint resonance, guiding Layton to spread out the character dictionary and compare page by page.

Under his grandfather's "silent instructions", Layton pieced together the characters one by one and recited softly:

"Assist the Quetzalcoatl... to track down Klaus..."

His expression gradually became serious.

At the other end of the distant star gate, outside the Starry Sky Gate, in the wizard world, Lin En said calmly: "Just maintain the basic operation of the Starry Sky Gate. If it needs to be deployed next time, those wizard apprentices will be needed."

"Okay, Master Qinglin!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Great Wizard Helen and others naturally knew what Lin En's wizard apprentices referred to. They were the wizard apprentices selected from the task issued by Lin En himself in the task hall.

The next time we launch it, we will let these wizard apprentices enter that plane of existence...

Lin En himself left. His time was precious. In addition to practicing the extraordinary knowledge and witchcraft at the third-level wizard level, he also needed to continue refining resources and improving his mental strength.

He collected a lot of resources that could enhance spiritual power from the treasure trove of landscapes in the Green Island Forest.

Now, he has consumed a lot of it, thereby increasing his mental power to 351 points, the realm of the late third-level great wizard.

However, these resources have not been used up, which means that his mental strength can continue to improve.

Therefore, he naturally had to hurry up and use up these resources to upgrade to the late stage of the third-level great wizard as soon as possible to prepare for the sprint to the Morning Star Wizard.

………………

In the core area of ​​the Hall of Life, inside the mission hall.

At this moment, a special task screening issued by the Palace Master himself is in full swing.

Although the mission clearly stipulated that only third-level wizard apprentices were eligible to participate in the screening, even so, the entire mission hall was still packed with people.

After all, this was a task personally assigned by the Lord of the Hall of Life! The reward given by such a powerful person must be extraordinary.

Moreover, if one could stand out in the mission and be personally chosen by the legendary wizard to become his disciple, it would be a step to heaven! In the bustling crowd, a blond apprentice was silently queuing.

His name is Quentin.

He looked at the endless stream of wizard apprentices of different levels around him, and a trace of emotion emerged in his eyes: "It turns out that there are so many third-level wizard apprentices hidden inside the Hall of Life..."

He already knew that the Hall of Life was the most powerful wizarding force in the kingdom, bar none, but witnessing such a large gathering of third-level apprentices still shocked him deeply.

Despite the huge crowds, the screening process was surprisingly efficient. The sealed room in front was like an assembly line, with apprentices constantly entering and exiting.

Each person stayed for a very short time, and soon it was his turn.

A staff member in a black robe nodded at him and motioned him to enter the sealed room.

The sealed indoor environment is very strange:

There was no flow of any elemental factors, and even the most basic spiritual fluctuations were silent.

A faint sense of oppression enveloped the entire room, and the heaven and earth seemed to be rejecting his existence, causing Quentin to feel strong doubts and uneasiness.

“What’s going on…?”

His eyes swept around and soon fell on the strange badge totem made of black iron in front of him.

A line of words appeared on the wall, guiding him to touch the totem with his mental power and activate it.

Quentin hesitated for a moment, but continued to slowly release his mental power as instructed.

The next moment.

The totem seemed to wake up, and an eagle-shaped relief twisted slightly under the spiritual contact, emitting faint starlight.

Quentin only felt his body lighten slightly, as if he was floating up, and his soul also felt a little floating.

Then, a guiding voice sounded, telling him to put down the totems and directing him to the other side of the room.

There, a soft beam of light descended from the sky and quietly enveloped his body.

After a few seconds, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

"Screening passed."

"It's... passed just like that?" Quentin was a little dazed for a moment.

He didn't even know what he had just done.

But then he thought, how could a little wizard apprentice like him understand the secrets of this screening set by the Lord of the Palace? After passing the task screening, Quentin was given several books.

One book introduced a strange language, one was about the strange theory of alternative alchemy, and the other explained in detail the structure and use of the totem he had just touched.

Quentin quietly put away the information and just as he walked out of the sealed room, he was led aside by a wizard.

"For the next period of time, you will go to the wizard tower of the Lord Palace Master."

The other party's tone was calm, but it made Quentin's heart tremble.

It is said that all wizard apprentices who pass the screening will sign a formal contract in the future and study these ancient materials in the quiet and huge wizard tower until the master of the hall calls them.

"That wizard tower?!"

Of course Quentin knew where it was. It was the Wizard Tower, standing in the core area of ​​the entire Hall of Life, as dark as ink and as silent as the abyss.

Normally, let alone a third-level wizard apprentice like him, few people, even formal wizards, dared to get close to him.

Unexpectedly, he would now personally step into that tower to practice!

Quentin was taken into another spacious waiting room, where nearly a hundred wizard apprentices were already talking in low voices or silently studying materials.

He looked around and didn't see any familiar faces, so he simply sat down in a corner, took out the book in his arms, and began to read page by page.

At the same time, in the wizarding world, Lynn's plan was progressing steadily.

In the plane world connected by the Star Gate, due to the speed of time flow, several days have passed quietly.

At this moment, Viscount Leighton was in his private laboratory.

His grandfather (Lynn's spiritual clone) had given him clear instructions earlier to help the Quetzalcoatl find Klaus, the mentor who had framed him.

However, Klaus is now on the run from the Quetzalcoatl under the Golden Throne, and the Golden Throne cannot find him.

As a mere brass alchemist, he is simply unapproachable.

Suddenly, a strange wave came from the totem.

His Violet King Totem suddenly jumped slightly, emitting a faint purple halo.

Layton's eyes flashed and he stood up suddenly.

"This is... Mr. Klaus calling me?!"

At the same time, in the worn pocket watch that he always carried with him, Lin En’s spiritual clone was sitting cross-legged in the dark void with a calm expression.

He is concentrating on studying the next evolutionary direction of the violet flower, the silver totem "Violet King".

At this moment, he was the first to notice the changes in Layton due to the mental fluctuations caused by the totem's movement.
