Chapter 139: Extraterritorial Civilization
Chapter 139
A sturdy and tall official wizard spoke in a cold tone:
"The Mechanical City has entered martial law. No non-citizens are allowed to enter the fifth floor. Lin En, you have been conscripted by me. Come with me."
The sudden words made Lin En's eyes suddenly focus, and he became alert in an instant, feeling that things were not simple.
Putting aside the fact that he is now a citizen of the Mechanical City, no one would dare to do anything to him without strict scrutiny.
Even if he was not a citizen, the situation seemed extremely wrong.
Before he could say anything, the official wizard in front of him actually called out his name.
The other party actually knew his name! Obviously, this was not a coincidence, he was coming for him!
If you ask yourself honestly, since coming to the Mechanical City, Lin En has always been very low-key, never had any grudges with anyone, and has no enemies at all.
The only thing that could remind him of this was perhaps the anonymous person on the citizen token who sent him a message.
But obviously it couldn't be the other party. After all, the encryption of the citizen token was extremely complex and it was impossible for others to crack it.
Apart from this possibility, a thought suddenly flashed through Lin En's mind: the secret attack he encountered on the third floor... This made him think of the only suspect...
"Marco...he's the only one who could possibly do this!"
Lynn's heart chilled, anger rising.
Damn Marco, he really suffered an undeserved disaster.
Lin En had never even met this man, but he targeted him many times. It was just because Lin En knew Daven that he listed him as a convenient target.
Even a clay figure would have a temper, let alone Lin En? He had already written down Marco in his little notebook, and he would definitely take revenge on him when he had the chance! Especially in the current situation, the Mechanical City was under martial law, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
If he was recruited by Marco at this sensitive moment, Lynn felt that his life might be in great danger.
But thankfully, he now has citizenship, which gives him certain special rights.
Without saying anything more, Lynn decisively pushed the mechanical wizard apprentice beside him out.
"Go explain it to him."
Lynn said calmly.
The mechanical wizard apprentice looked at Lin En's actions and felt that something was wrong.
But in front of the two official wizards, he obviously had no room for rebuttal, and could only say with a bitter face: "My lord, Lord Lin En has passed the citizen assessment and became a citizen of the Mechanical City. Lord Jilu from the Assessment Office has also confirmed his identity..."
"Um?"
The burly official wizard was visibly stunned when he heard the answer.
He had expected that Linn would be obedient and not resist, and would just follow him, so that he could punish Linn as planned and complete Lord Marco's orders.
He even considered that if Lin En chose to resist, the Mechanical City was under martial law. With his power and the mechanical puppets on the fifth floor, he could easily subdue Lin En.
However, he had never expected that Lin En would become a citizen of the Mechanical City! This information stunned him and made him feel uneasy.
Not to mention him, even Lord Marco did not dare to easily attack the citizens of the Mechanical City.
Although he could make things difficult for Lin En at work, and even find opportunities to make him make mistakes.
But it is almost impossible to kill Lynn easily in this city.
If the news leaks out, the law enforcement authorities of the Mechanical City will investigate ruthlessly and get to the bottom of it.
The burly wizard originally had a plan in mind to deal with Lynn, but this unexpected answer obviously put him in an impasse.
Nevertheless, the mechanical wizard apprentice had already conveyed to him the seal information with legal effect.
But Lin En ignored him at this time and walked straight towards the villa behind him.
He even sneered softly as he passed by.
"hehe."
The burly wizard's face turned pale in an instant when he heard the sneer, and anger surged in his heart.
If this task cannot be accomplished, Lord Marco will definitely be furious with him.
But Lin En was already a citizen of the Mechanical City, and he could no longer stop the other party at will.
Watching Lin En's back disappear at the door of the villa, the burly wizard cursed under his breath and glared fiercely at the mechanical wizard apprentice.
The latter suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.
…………………………
After entering the house, Lin En let out a long breath and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, I have always been decisive and never procrastinate, otherwise it would have been difficult to pass this hurdle today.
He still remembered the embarrassing situation of the official wizards who took the test with him on the sixth floor.
A wizard apprentice in the Mechanical City can use chicken feathers as a token of authority and easily look down on them.
After all, those wizard apprentices were trained in the Mechanical City, and if they were outsiders and were in a peaceful state, they should, as official wizards, enjoy a certain degree of respect and courtesy.
But once the country enters a state of martial law or war, they will become unstable factors and the first to be controlled.
The originally weak mechanical wizard apprentice actually has the power to deal with official wizards.
As Lin En was thinking, he walked into the hall, and suddenly heard a voice coming, with a sense of relief.
“Brother Lin, you’re finally back… Something unexpected happened in the Mechanical City. I thought you wouldn’t come back and almost went out to look for you!”
Seeing Lin En return safely, Daven finally breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly.
Bephny stood at the front of the hall, her fair face full of nervousness. It was not until she saw Lynn return safely that her bright eyes showed a bit of relief.
"Master, you are finally back. Lord Daven said that the Mechanical City is under martial law now, so don't go out easily..."
Bephny also breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.
Lin En looked at this scene, and a rare warmth rose in his heart.
He never thought that in this cruel world, there would be someone who cared about him so much.
But now is not the time to sigh. Lin En walked straight to Daven who was sitting on the sofa, briefly described what happened this morning, and then asked in confusion:
"Daven, what happened in the Mechanical City? Tell me in detail."
"Brother Lin En has become a citizen, so it will be much safer!"
When Daven heard that Lin En had become a citizen, he was finally relieved.
He slowly narrated the relevant information he had obtained.
"At 10:05 this morning, I received a message from Senior Sister, informing me that the Mechanical City has entered martial law, and it is best not to go out unless necessary."
Davin continued,
"In the entire Mechanical City, all outsiders - including wizard apprentices on the second and third levels, and official wizards on the fourth level - will be formally recruited."
"As for the citizens in the fifth tier, they will also face targeted summons."
He paused and continued, "For wizards who are not on secondment and have been practicing in seclusion for a long time, the City of Machinery will take the initiative to contact them and flexibly arrange for them to participate in the operation. For those formal wizards on secondment, they will face different arrangements according to the nature of their work. For example, wizards in combat and logistics will be very busy and under great pressure during this period."
Daven let out a long breath and spoke slowly.
"Because the Mechanical City has now entered a wartime phase. We are in the middle of a war!"
Moreover, Daven's senior sister has extremely high authority and knows some deeper inside information.
For example, the target of this war is not other forces within the wizard world, but an unknown force from outside the wizard civilization! Not only has the Mechanical City entered martial law, the entire Nightmare Rift has also entered the battle stage, and some other neutral cities have also adopted similar martial law measures.
As a powerful wizarding force, Nightmare Rift has never made such a large-scale mobilization before.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Outside forces... actually dragged the entire Nightmare Rift into war..."
Lynn's heart was stirred.
Although he could not imagine the scale and level of the war in detail because of his limited strength and vision, he could feel that all this was by no means a simple matter.
He had some guesses in his mind, because when he borrowed Daven's token, he had mistakenly entered a page and saw a message:
"After clearing out the [landscape] tricks left by the gods' civilization, try to start a local war and target the goddess of the magic net... It would be best to destroy her kingdom of God and capture her..."
At that time, Lin En had not yet fully understood its meaning, but thinking back now, the martial law in the Mechanical City and the message he had seen made his heart sink.
Somehow, he felt that this was most likely what the message was talking about.
"Has the wizard civilization taken action against the gods' civilization? What will happen on the front battlefield if they capture a goddess..."
Although Lin En was curious about this matter, he had no intention of getting involved.
On the contrary, he wanted to stay away from war and practice in peace.
After getting the citizen token tomorrow, he will plan to report to the research department.
As Giroud reminded, the sooner you enter the research department, the better, so as not to miss the opportunity due to not going for a long time and be selected by others, which would be embarrassing...
"As long as I can enter the research department, I will be completely settled and can start practicing the first-level wizard's extraordinary knowledge in my mind."
Lin En does not lack extraordinary knowledge now, what he lacks is a stable environment.
Once the environment is stable, he can practice slowly. At least before he reaches the peak of the second-level wizard, he doesn't need to worry about any problems.
"The words in those messages seem full of confidence. The wizard civilization seems to be very confident in dealing with the gods' civilization. I hope what they said is true..."
Although Lin En hopes that the wizard civilization can defeat the outside gods' civilization, all he can do is cheer them on from a distance.
…………………………
The wizarding world is so vast that it is almost unimaginable.
If a wizard were on it, without the help of a teleportation array, but only by flying, even a powerful Morning Star wizard would need to spend countless hours to travel around the entire Wizarding Continent.
The boundless continents, the vast oceans, the islands suspended in the air, these are just a small part of the vast wizarding world.
The wizarding world has been constantly developing and expanding since ancient times.
Countless powerful wizards, with a desire for the unknown world, have already explored the surface world, the depths of the ocean, the underground magma world, and the blue sky world thoroughly.
As their knowledge accumulated and their strength increased, their perspectives gradually shifted from the world before their eyes to places further away - the mysterious realm outside the wizarding world.
It was these powerful wizards who, through continuous research, realized that the wizarding world was not an isolated existence. Their curiosity and desire to explore made them turn their attention to the outside world early on.
After countless generations of wizards, and after countless difficult studies and arduous surveys.
The wizarding world finally confirmed that outside of their world, there exist many unknown worlds.
These worlds are not empty, there are living beings there, civilizations are born there, and power is quietly growing there.
From then on, the wizarding world began to embark on an endless stream of expeditions.
They conquered other planes, searched for precious resources, occupied one world after another, and brought them into the sphere of influence of the wizarding world.
As time passed, the wizarding world continued to grow and gradually became an incomparably brilliant and vast civilization.
If you stand in the outside world and overlook the vastness of this wizarding world, you will be shocked by this world that is like a big sun.
The wizarding world is like a huge sun, emitting dazzling light.
And the worlds it conquered and colonized are like stars orbiting the sun.
This symbol of the endless expansion of the wizarding world is also reflected in the starry robes worn by law enforcement wizards.
Behind the robe is the blazing sun of the wizarding world, and the dense star patterns represent the countless planes conquered and occupied by the wizarding civilization.
It shows how the wizarding world has continued to devour and grow over countless years.
However, in an expedition thousands of years ago, the wizard civilization finally encountered an unprecedented opponent, an extremely powerful and brilliant civilization.
The name of this civilization shocked almost all wizards. It was the civilization of the gods! From the ancient wizards to the present, gods have always been what wizards have been pursuing.
Because wizards gain power through knowledge, and gods are often labeled as "omniscient and omnipotent."
So for wizards, it seems that as long as they find the real god, they will be able to find the path to truth completely.
However, during countless expeditions, the so-called "gods" that the wizards encountered were nothing more than powerful and arrogant creatures one after another.
They may be powerful, but they are far from being omniscient and omnipotent gods.
However, this time, the gods' civilization they encountered was completely different from the previous ones! It was a civilization that was equally powerful and eager to expand, and even wilder than the wizard civilization!
When the two sides first came into contact, before they had even had a normal communication, the gods civilization directly launched a common-sense attack on the wizard civilization.
It was precisely because of that war thousands of years ago that the Gods Civilization launched a [Landscape] attack on the wizarding world, directly changing the situation within the wizarding civilization.
The Wizard Council signed an order that no large-scale wars between black wizards and white wizards were allowed before the end of the war of civilization! The blow that tore through the Red Swamp came from a powerful being in the Wizard Council.
At that time, the southern region ignored the orders of the parliament, which led to an attack by that existence, thus creating the dangerous place such as the Nightmare Rift, which eventually gradually evolved into its current appearance.
This time, the Nightmare Rift Valley mobilized collectively, and even drew a group of law enforcement wizards from the Wizard Council, with the aim of launching a local counterattack against the Gods Civilization!
Their target is the goddess of the magic net in the civilization of the gods! (End of this chapter)
