Chapter 149 Expedition Order
Chapter 149
"I have some specimens of the basic races of the Gods' civilization here, both male and female. I'll give you a set when the time comes."
The speaker was a middle-aged man who looked amiable, with a pair of sharp eyes and a casual mustache at the corner of his mouth.
The whole person looks more like the owner of a small shop than a powerful Morning Star Wizard, with a friendly aura.
This person is the famous fourth-level Morning Star Wizard in the Mechanical City - the Mechanical Puppet Wizard Angus.
"Mystra, the goddess of the magic web..."
The Spirit Eyed Wizard whispered the name softly, his eyes a little dazed, as if he was lost in some memories or deep thought.
However, the Mechanical Puppet Wizard did not notice the Spirit Eye Wizard's distraction and continued to talk about his plan: "Then I will have someone bring that first-level wizard named Lin En over to you. After this deal is completed, you and I will be completely even."
He paused and added in a low voice: "The Mechanical City is now under martial law. Killing a first-level wizard quietly is much more troublesome than before. After you get the person, leave here quickly to avoid being discovered..."
Before he finished speaking, the Spirit Eye Wizard suddenly spoke up, interrupting him: "Wait a moment."
"Um?"
The mechanical puppet wizard raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the spiritual eye wizard, appearing a little puzzled.
There was a hint of indifference in the pale eyes of the Spirit Eye Wizard, and he said softly:
"I changed my plans."
"Change of plans?"
The mechanical puppet wizard seemed a little surprised, but he did not rush to ask questions. Instead, he waited quietly for the other party to continue explaining.
"You are one of the persons in charge of this expedition to another world. It should be much easier to send Lin En to another world than to kill him in the Mechanical City, right?"
The Spirit Eyed Wizard spoke calmly, without any fluctuation in the indifference in his words.
A trace of contemplation flashed across the eyes of the mechanical puppet wizard, and after a moment he spoke:
"He is the researcher in charge of the alien world purification device. Logically, I can transfer him over on the pretext that the device needs personnel for maintenance."
"but……"
He paused, looked at the Spirit Eye Wizard, frowned slightly,
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
The Spirit Eyed Wizard did not answer directly. He glanced at the other party with cold eyes and said lightly: "You don't need to know this. I will send a first-level wizard here, and you will send him and Lin En to the other world together. Once the transaction is completed, you and I will be completely clear."
The mechanical puppet wizard narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a moment, staring at the expressionless face of the spiritual eye wizard, as if he was spying on the other party's true intentions.
However, the face of the Spirit Eye Wizard was like a cold mirror, without the slightest crack, and his expression was as calm as water.
Compared to the first plan, the second plan is obviously easier for the mechanical puppet wizard. It only requires a few words and will not get involved in any dirty water.
Therefore, in the end, the mechanical wizard smiled thoughtfully and nodded:
"Well, the contents of the last page of our contract book can be confirmed."
As soon as the voice fell, suddenly an ancient wave surged in the air, and a withered book slowly emerged.
Crash.
The pages of the book flipped by themselves in the air and slowly fell to the last page.
The spirit-eyed wizard snapped his fingers, and a black ghost fire suddenly spread from his fingertips.
The next moment, the will-o'-the-wisp jumped onto the book and continued to spread on the last page.
As the flames flickered and spread across the pages, lines of ancient wizard writing appeared on the paper.
The contract is formed and the transaction is completed.
…………………………
Mechanical City, sixth floor, Research Institute.
Lynn is discussing with Terra the possibilities of how to improve the metal material.
Suddenly, a fresh and fragrant breeze blew over, and they both looked up at the same time, and found a female wizard in a white robe standing next to them with a warm smile.
This person is Lori.
"Hello, Lin En. I will also be working here from now on. Please take care of me."
Lori smiled gently and greeted Lynn.
Terra on the side was slightly stunned, obviously confused.
Lynn smiled and responded politely: "Hello, Lori, welcome to the research team."
Then he turned to Terra and made a brief introduction, "This is Lori, the daughter of Wizard Vidal. Lori, this is Terra, we are researchers on the same project."
The two female wizards looked at each other and exchanged polite smiles. The atmosphere seemed very peaceful.
However, it wasn't long before the other wizards from the research group arrived, and Lori said goodbye to Lynn and Terra, and walked over to the other colleagues to start greeting them.
But as soon as Lori left, Terra came over and winked at Lynn, saying, "Did you go to Wizard Vidal's house as a guest during your vacation a few days ago and hook up with his daughter?"
These words made Lin En want to vomit blood. Terra imagined some kind of love scene.
“No way!” Lin En immediately waved his hand, “We are just acquaintances, ordinary friends.”
"Ordinary friends?" Terra's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be able to make a circle.
She leaned forward slightly, got closer, and said with a teasing tone,
"She was a bit hostile to me just now. So, according to what you said, she is only interested in you unilaterally? Then I am curious."
"I'm not insulting you," Terra's smile deepened, "but why don't you look like an attractive wizard? Are you strong in some way? That's possible, after all, I haven't experienced you..."
Listening to Terra's ramblings, Lin En quickly stopped her and said, "According to what you said, if I go to Wizard Vidal's house as a guest, does that mean I'm going to have sex with his daughter?"
Terra, however, said as if it was a matter of course: "Why is this impossible? We are all wizards. Do you still care about the moral standards of mortals?"
Hearing this, Lin En opened his mouth, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Terra said made sense.
He really had never communicated with some formal wizards in private. After returning home, he usually meditated, practiced, and experimented.
To be honest, he has never been in sync with other official wizards in terms of values.
But even so, he still complained: "Why didn't I realize you were this kind of person before?"
Terra shook her head when she heard this, her expression very serious: "Before, we only discussed mechanics, and your level of mechanics is higher than mine. Every time we talk about it, I feel frustrated and have no sexual desire at all, so naturally there is no chance to talk about other things."
Since Lori joined the research team, Lynn's daily life has quietly changed.
As Terra had expected earlier, Lori actually seemed to be somewhat interested in him.
Lin En was a little confused. What on earth was it about him that made Lori like him? Was he really so attractive that he was irresistible? Whenever he thought about this, he couldn't help but doubt himself.
Vidal gave his daughter away, and Lori had no intention of refusing?
But Lin En is not Liu Xiahui, so if something comes to him on its own initiative, he naturally won't refuse it.
Time passed slowly. In the research institute, Vidal saw that he and Lori were close, but he had no intention of stopping it.
A month passed quickly like this.
However, on this day, when Lin En had just arrived at the research institute, he saw Vidal with a gloomy face calling him over.
"Lin, there is something I need to tell you. This morning, a transfer order came from the Combat Expeditionary Force. They need a maintenance worker for the alien purification device, and they specifically want you."
The sudden words made Lin En's eyes suddenly turn cold.
A month ago, after Great Wizard Chris communicated with him, Lin En was ready to deal with the troubles from alien creatures and the Furnace Stone.
But he never thought that trouble would come from within, rather than from external threats.
"Lord Vidal, is there something wrong here? I am a researcher who is not good at fighting. Why do you need me to go to the battlefield in another world? And why do you specifically ask me to go there? Is there any personal grudge here?"
Marco's figure flashed through his mind. Could it be that the guy was still unwilling to give up and was going to attack him again? However, Vidal shook his head and said, "This transfer order comes from the highest commander of the expeditionary force, with the consent of the Morning Star Wizard."
After these words came out, although Lynn's face was still not looking good, Marco's suspicion was somewhat ruled out.
"That's the place with the furnace stone and the alien creatures?"
Lin En thought so in his heart, but he did not accept his fate. Instead, he decided to fight back.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Wait a moment, Master Vidal, I will contact the other masters to confirm if there is any problem."
Lynn said this to Vidal, walked aside, took out his mechanical token, and prepared to contact Daven.
Vidal's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he frowned deeply.
Ever since he brought his daughter to the research institute and watched Lin En touching his daughter every day, he originally thought that this was a sure-win investment.
Lin En, as the third disciple of the Warhammer Master, is capable of protecting his daughter behind her back.
However, all this that happened suddenly made him feel deeply uneasy, and an ominous thought arose in his mind:
Lin En, are you really just the third disciple of the Warhammer Master?
What kind of background does he have? Why did the expeditionary force specifically ask him, a researcher, to go to the battlefield?
Isn't this really asking him to die?
Of course, Vidal did not completely give up hope.
Maybe, Lin En can contact the great wizard Chris, or maybe this is really a misunderstanding.
He even hoped that if there really was a problem, Chris and the Hammer Master would step forward to protect Lynn's identity and prove that he was not an ordinary wizard.
Thinking of this, there was some hope in his eyes again, even though this hope was becoming increasingly slim.
At the same time, Lynn was communicating with Daven through the mechanical token.
Although he said he was communicating with Daven, in fact, Lin En's real purpose was to use this opportunity to contact the third-level wizard, Chris.
After all, the great wizard Chris had assured Lin En a month ago that as long as she was there and Lin En stayed in the Mechanical City, there would be no security risks.
However, things did not go so smoothly.
Although Lynn's mechanical token successfully contacted Daven, there were unexpected obstacles in the communication with the great wizard Chris.
Even Davin, the third disciple of the Warhammer Master, was unable to contact his senior sister.
"It's a good thing I didn't trust her completely... I couldn't even find her at the critical moment..."
Lin En sighed inwardly, fortunately he had made a plan for the worst.
He instinctively asked Daven to try a few more times, but the result was the same each time.
Communication is still unavailable.
In desperation, Daven decided to go find the great wizard Chris in person.
However, when Daven arrived at Chris's residence, he was greeted not by Chris herself, but by a cold mechanical puppet.
The mechanical puppet told him that the great wizard Chris was practicing in seclusion, and no one, not even her junior brother Davin, could disturb her practice.
Lynn sighed, walked up to Wizard Vidal, and shook his head slightly.
This scene made Vidal's face turn as gloomy as ink. He was now certain that he had made a mistake.
Lynn, although undoubtedly a genius in mechanics, was not a disciple of the Warhammer Master.
The title of the first author of the previous paper... I took the initiative to send my daughter out this month...
Every time he thought about it, Vidal's face became uglier and uglier, as if he had eaten shit.
He looked at Lin En's angular and handsome face. Although he was angry inside, he still suppressed his impulse and avoided an outburst on the spot.
He took a deep breath, his voice was cold and indifferent, no longer as gentle as before: "You still have seven days. After seven days, you must go to the other world with the expeditionary force... Get ready."
The peaceful life of less than a year was interrupted at this moment.
Lin En did not show any sudden emotional fluctuations, but instead felt an inexplicable calm in his heart.
Perhaps the communication he had with the Great Wizard Chris in the past had made him fully prepared;
Or maybe, during the days in the Spirit Eye Furnace, he had become accustomed to such sudden changes, and his mentality became more calm and composed.
Seven days is neither long nor short.
Lin En simply sorted out his feelings, left the institute, and went directly to his residence on the fifth floor.
In the mechanical city, he had nothing to worry about.
The house was allocated free of charge as a citizen welfare benefit, and he occasionally used Daven's transportation.
The only thing that could be considered Lynn's private property was his loyal maid, Bephny.
But now that Lin En has accepted the transfer order and is going to another world, it is obviously impossible for Bephantine to go with him, because the space ring in his hand cannot accommodate living things.
Therefore, he could only temporarily entrust the maid to Daven.
If he could return safely, that would be fine; but if something went wrong on this expedition, he thought...
Lin En shook his head fiercely and reminded himself secretly: "I must come back alive, and then find out who is behind this, and then settle accounts with them one by one!"
"No one can escape!"
These seven days were both fulfilling and urgent.
Lin En did not waste a single minute and spent almost all of his magic stones.
He purchased a large amount of potion materials and the materials needed for refining, in case the other world could not find these necessary resources, especially the potions that could enhance spiritual practice.
He originally had more than 100,000 magic stones in his hands. Although the previous purchase of props greatly reduced his magic stone reserves, there was still a considerable portion left.
Because the war is approaching, the prices of some props have increased a lot, almost doubling.
Fortunately, the prices of some raw materials have dropped, allowing Lynn to buy enough materials to fully increase Ifgrid's drug resistance.
Make sure you can practice by refining and improving your spiritual power during your time in the other world.
