Chapter 132: The Rhine (2) “Even if you demolish Fox City again…
Si Ling cast a stack of paper figures from the depths of the forest, ordering them to chop down trees and build houses. Paper figures are inherently tireless, and as long as they have enough mana to sustain them, their efficiency can be maximized.
Si Ling released enough paper people, and in less than two hours, a decent wooden house in the forest was built, and the room was equipped with simple wooden furniture.
Si Ling sent the unconscious Xuan Chi into the room, and then set up a barrier with the wooden house as the center.
During the battle with the Tumba clan, she had been surprised that Gongbu had cast a one-way barrier against her. A one-way barrier could only protect against attacks from one side, either inside or outside. If attacked from the other side, it would be as fragile as a piece of glass, crumbling at the slightest blow.
But now she also set up the same one-way barrier.
Because it would take time for her to recover her strength, and she had no way of predicting what state Xuan Chi would be in upon awakening. If he were still mad after waking up, she could barely defend herself against him by concentrating all her magic power on one side of the barrier, but distributing it between the two would be useless.
As for what if some little demon or ghost was so foolish as to break through the barrier from outside and come in to provoke him...
Then she could only say: Good luck to them.
After arranging all this, Si Ling left the barrier and returned to the Ghost Academy.
When she reached Hohenzollern Castle, she looked up and saw that the entire castle was covered by a semicircle. However, if she looked closely, she could see that the color of the semicircle was not uniform, but a mixture of various spells, obviously the work of many people.
Si Ling's brow twitched slightly, and he calmly sent a voice message to Lucifer: "Mr. Principal, is the academy's barrier protecting me? If so, please tell me another way to Lingbo City."
——To be honest, if this barrier was meant to protect her, she would fully understand.
But less than half a minute after the voice message was sent, Lucifer appeared. He floated out of the castle gate and kept looking behind Si Ling: "Where's Xuan Chi? How is he?"
"Still unconscious." Si Ling shrugged and told him frankly, "I'm the only one."
Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to close the barrier and let her in. "Are you going to Lingbo City? It's a good opportunity to go to Fox City. Their people just left and asked for you."
"Someone from Fox City?" Si Ling was bewildered. "What do you want from me?"
Lucifer spread his hands and shrugged. "They said they have some previously ordered goods to give to you. I didn't ask what they were, and even if I asked, they wouldn't tell me."
...previously pre-ordered items?
Si Ling was even more confused. She was very sure that there was no such transaction between her and Fox City.
But she just had to go there first. Anyway, she was going to Fox City when she went to Lingbo City.
Before leaving for Lingbo City, Si Ling returned to the advanced class to express her gratitude to the vampires and werewolves who had desperately tried to save her. They were relieved to see that she was still alive. Then the three werewolves surrounded her and said, "No need to thank me, it was just a piece of cake!"
"...Can you teach us your technique for creating a giant skeleton monster?"
“That’s really cool.”
Si Ling really didn't mind teaching them everything he knew, but he could only apologize and say, "I know how to use that spell."
Werewolf & Vampire: "Huh?"
"Really." Si Ling frowned slightly and explained to them, "When I finally defeated Xuan Chi, not only did the mountains collapse and the earth crack, but I also saw birds and beasts running for their lives - those birds and beasts from the human world. This shows that when I use this spell, if the magic power is strong enough, it can break through the restrictions of the three realms and cause damage."
Si Ling chuckled: "If I could really control it, I would use it to complete daily tasks. I could take down those bad guys with just a flick of my finger, which would save everyone a lot of trouble."
"..." The werewolf and the vampire were silent.
Although it is illogical for her to say that she has not mastered magic while performing smooth combos, this explanation is indeed correct.
Everyone then politely stopped arguing. Si Ling said he would treat them to a meal after he was done with this, and then they said goodbye in a friendly manner.
Half an hour later, Si Ling arrived at Fox City.
She is now very famous in the three-tailed fox clan. The two fox demons in charge of reception at the door perked up when they saw her, nodded and bowed to invite her in, and even planned to send her directly to the elevator to the fox ancestor.
"I won't see Fox Ancestor today." Si Ling laughed, "I just want to buy some medicine."
"Oh... then please come this way!" The two fox spirits quickly invited her to the glass door on the other side and took her to the drug store.
This was actually a free shopping area, much like a typical large pharmacy in the human world. Most medicines could be picked up and then paid for. A few special or expensive items were placed behind the counter and required assistance from the store staff. However, the fox demon who had led Si Ling here didn't dare to leave, waiting the entire time like a diligent attendant for Si Ling to make any requests.
Si Ling saw his intention and asked him, "Do you have Nether Thistle Granules?"
"Yes!" The fox demon replied immediately and went to look for medicine on the shelf not far in front of him. Si Ling followed him and told him, "Get me two courses of treatment first."
"Yes, ma'am!" The fox demon leaned over to grab some medicine from the shelf. At this moment, another female fox demon appeared at the door of the drug store, peered into the store, and walked in: "Ms. Si Ling?"
She called out tentatively, and Si Ling turned around and saw that it was an unfamiliar female fox demon, but from her uniform she could tell that she was the assistant of the Fox Ancestor.
"Hello, my name is Azhi. The Fox Ancestor asked me to deliver something to you." The assistant nodded gracefully.
Si Ling frowned and asked her, "Did someone go to the Ghost Academy and tell Lucifer that there's a product I've reserved?"
"Yes, that's it." Azhi raised his right hand, revealing a blue folder. He nodded gently and said, "When you finish shopping, shall we go to the lounge area next door to discuss in detail?"
Si Ling glanced at the thickness of the folder and nodded: "Okay."
Azhi said no more and waited quietly. After Si Ling finished paying the bill, Azhi asked the fox demon who had received her to leave and took her to the glass partition in the adjacent rest area.
Si Ling sat down, and Azhi brought her some tea, then sat down as well.
"Please check if there is any problem with the information first. If there is no problem, our Fox City can guarantee that all certificates are valid and legal, and even the highest gods in various places will recognize it." Azhi opened the folder and spread it in front of Si Ling.
Si Lingyun took it in confusion, and took a closer look. The page that was spread out was a list of gods from the ancient Egyptian pantheon, but the information column clearly had her name written in hieroglyphics, and the description of her position was: "The god in charge of cultural exchanges in the East."
Si Ling: “?”
Turning to the second page, there is a list of Nordic gods. The name column says "Sling" and the description of the priest's position is also: "The god in charge of Eastern cultural exchanges."
Turning the pages further, she came across the ancient Greek pantheon, the Amazon pantheon, the Atamanian pantheon, the Maori pantheon, the Inuit pantheon...
There are at least thirty or forty copies in total.
Si Ling fell silent, closed the folder, and looked at Azhi blankly: "Is there... some misunderstanding here? I don't want to immigrate?"
"It seems that the customer who came to place the order didn't tell you about this?" Azhi was not surprised by this and patiently explained, "Mr. Xuanchi did come to see the Fox Ancestor alone, but we thought he would tell you when he returned."
"That time he came to inquire about something related to the Karma Curse. Fox Ancestor couldn't come up with any convincing analysis, but they came up with a guess together."
Si Ling frowned: "What guess?"
Azhi nodded and said, "They believe that if the Karma Curse really exists, you are very likely a part of it. And if that is the case... it means that this Karma Curse has existed for at least 30,000 years. There are not many people who are capable of casting such a Karma Curse."
Just like Xuan Chi and Fox Ancestor, Si Ling immediately had a guess: "Do they suspect the Emperor of Heaven?"
"Yes." Azhi said.
Si Ling glanced at the folder in front of him again: "What does that have to do with these things?"
Azhi sighed and laughed, "Your friend is worried that the Emperor of Heaven will destroy your bridge after crossing the river, and you will die after the karma curse is completed, so he asked Fox City to handle these things. It can be regarded as a way out."
"You can see that the gods here are all from less popular divine realms. None of them can compete with the Eastern Divine Realm. However, the various divine realms are unwilling to provoke diplomatic disputes right now. The Emperor of Heaven will most likely not get involved in such disputes, so you are safe."
Azhi's words made Si Ling feel empty inside, and a strong emotion that was about to burst out stirred in his chest.
It was difficult for her to describe the feeling. It was sour, dull pain, surprise, shock... It was countless unrelated feelings entangled together, impacting her heart again and again, making her feel uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe, but she couldn't help but recall its existence, and then immersed herself in a deeper level of discomfort, wanting to cry at one moment and laugh at another.
She soon realized what she was thinking.
If she were a mortal with a few decades of experience, she could escape such emotions, but for a 30,000-year-old ghost, deceiving herself is almost impossible.
She took a deep breath, controlled her emotions, and asked, "What about him? Did he arrange a way out for himself?"
"Uh... Ma'am." Azhi laughed stiffly, "If the Emperor of Heaven is willing to cast this karma curse to plot against him, and he escapes to another divine realm, the Emperor of Heaven will probably not care about diplomatic disputes anymore, and then your escape route will no longer exist."
Si Ling pursed his lips: "Is it possible..."
"Please don't try to negotiate this kind of deal for him." Azhi's tone suddenly became harsh, but he immediately softened after interrupting her. "For Fox City, the risk of taking on this deal from you is already huge. If we make this kind of arrangement for him, it would be tantamount to allowing Fox City to directly challenge the Emperor of Heaven."
"Even if you demolish Fox Market again, we will not take this order." Azhi's tone became tough again. Si Ling could hear that these should be the original words of Fox Ancestor.
