Chapter 153 Ten Times the Lifespan
Chapter 153
Guarding the castle, in Lynn's laboratory.
At this moment, in the quiet laboratory, a huge flower bed stands quietly in the center.
The flower bed is filled with blue and white frozen soil. Above the frozen soil, stands a giant tree with lush green leaves and vibrant vitality, exuding a faint extraordinary breath.
This tree was Lin En's extraordinary plant, Ivgrid! Its trunk was extremely thick, with a faint glow flowing on its surface. Its countless tangled roots penetrated deep into the frozen soil, madly absorbing the mysterious energy in it like greedy tentacles.
Lynn stood in front of the tree, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly probed his mental power to establish a deep connection with Ifgrid.
"It can slow down Ivgrid. This kind of environment does have a special effect on plants..."
"But...it doesn't provide any additional nutrients..."
Lin En's mental fluctuations paused slightly, and he sensed some strange changes.
"Strange... When I was controlling Ivgrid, there was a 'delay'?"
Although his consciousness had already issued the order, Ifgrid's reaction seemed to be slowed down for a moment by some force, causing Lynn to sense a strange sense of sluggishness.
"If... this is just my delayed perception, then..."
Lin En took a deep breath, his mind moved, and he murmured:
"What would happen if I completely merged with Ifgrid?"
Will thinking slow down?
Will there be a "time dislocation" with the outside world?
With thoughts flashing in his mind, Lin En no longer hesitated, and slowly opened his mouth, whispering:
"Live and die together!"
Buzz! Level 1 witchcraft, live and die together, activated! At this moment, Lin En's body shook slightly, and he slowly stepped forward, and the whole person merged into the trunk of Ivgrid without any hindrance!
Just like a drop of water returning to the sea, his figure quickly faded away, enveloped by flowing light, and completely disappeared in the laboratory.
silence.
In the entire laboratory, the light flickered and the air seemed to be frozen.
On the wooden laboratory table in the distance, various strange witchcraft instruments were neatly arranged.
But at this moment, the laboratory is empty, with only a quiet extraordinary tree rooted in the frozen soil, like an ancient life forgotten by time.
On the wall, an ancient clock was ticking, and the hands of the clock moved slowly.
Tick-tock…
Tick-tock…
Time passes quietly.
I don’t know how long it took…
A soft glow suddenly appeared on the surface of Ifgrid's trunk, as if a strange energy was surging within it.
Buzz! A blurry light and shadow slowly emerged, and then Lin En stepped out from the tree trunk and returned to the laboratory.
His eyes were slightly dazed, as if he was still immersed in some wonderful state.
"I feel like...my thoughts have slowed down..."
Lynn raised his palm, feeling the changes in himself, and murmured softly.
In his perception, he stayed in Ivgrid's consciousness world for a full fifteen minutes.
But when he looked up at the clock on the wall, his pupils suddenly shrank! He looked at the hour and minute hands that kept spinning, and his expression changed slightly.
Fifteen minutes had passed inside, but in the laboratory, a full 150 minutes had passed! A tenfold time difference! Lin En's heartbeat slightly accelerated, and his mind was running fast at this moment. He finally realized that he had discovered something extremely shocking.
"From the looks of it, plant life in the frozen soil...will be extended tenfold!"
His eyes flickered as he carefully recalled the feeling just now.
"But... this extension is only from the outside world's perspective."
Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered the far-reaching impact of the time dislocation.
"A plant that only lives for a hundred years can survive for a thousand years in frozen soil."
“But this is just the passage of time as seen by the outside world.”
In fact, for the plant, its life experience remains the original one hundred years, without any increase at all.
It doesn't feel like it has lived even one more day, but the flow of time has been slowed down, making it seem like it has spent a thousand years to outsiders.
“This is the magic of frozen soil…”
Lynn has deeply experienced the wonderful properties of frozen soil, which may be of no use to the mechanical wizard.
But for him... this might be a resource that natural wizards would envy! Lin En's eyes lit up, and a bold idea arose in his mind.
"What if I completely merge myself with Ivgrid and live in the frozen earth?"
He clenched his fists subconsciously, feeling a little excited.
As a first-level wizard, his lifespan would normally be no more than two hundred years.
"But if I'm in the frozen soil, my time will be extended tenfold..."
Two thousand years in the outside world, his life experience is still two hundred years!
In the wizarding world, longevity is one of the ultimate pursuits of wizards in their quest for transcendence!
Even though the frozen soil cannot truly increase his lifespan, it can increase his survival time tenfold, allowing him to exist in the outside world indefinitely!
What's more.
"This is not an increase in lifespan, but a dislocation of time!"
"My thoughts and perceptions...are still at the state of a 200-year lifespan, but the outside world has already undergone tremendous changes!"
What does this mean? This means that during this extended life span, he might be able to wait for a new breakthrough opportunity, a new secret technique to prolong his life, or even...
One day, I will wait for the extraordinary means to completely break the shackles of lifespan!
Lynn's eyes became brighter.
"But... to achieve such a miraculous effect, the energy of the frozen soil itself must be consumed in large quantities..."
He looked down to examine the changes in the frozen ground.
Sure enough, part of the originally blue and white frozen soil had turned dry and white, losing its cold luster.
This is obviously caused by the consumption of energy! Lin En thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of dry white frozen soil, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and felt a certain unique rhythm that once contained it, but now it has completely dried up.
"Sure enough, the frozen soil is not infinite. Its ability of 'time dislocation' depends on some special energy."
But even so, its value is still immeasurable! Lin En's eyes became sharp.
"Perhaps frozen ground doesn't matter to a mechanical wizard."
"But for a natural wizard... this thing is definitely a rare treasure!"
If he brings the frozen soil to the gathering place of natural wizards, those high-level wizards who are about to die will surely go crazy for it!
Even if they cannot truly extend their lifespan, as long as they can survive a few thousand more years in the outside world, it is enough to make them excited!
What’s more, during this thousand years of waiting, their friends, disciples, families, and even the entire wizarding world.
Perhaps they could find a true way to prolong their lives, allowing them to completely break free from the shackles of death! "If we could sell this frozen soil in large quantities to the natural wizard world..."
Lynn gently stroked his chin, a smile on his face.
"Priceless?"
"No……"
"For those wizards, this thing... is 'second life'!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At this moment, he completely understood why wizards had to conquer other worlds, open up new worlds, and explore unknown territories.
Every new world is an unknown treasure trove, and every undeveloped land may contain miracles that can change the wizard's destiny.
Just like Lin En at this moment, he discovered the meaning of permafrost.
This is a resource that transcends life and death, a gift of time, and a second life! Lin En stood on a piece of blue frozen soil. He gently stroked the glimmering frozen soil under his feet, his eyes thoughtful and deep.
"The consumption of frozen soil... should be closely related to the biological level."
He murmured slowly, his fingertips lightly running across a piece of dry white frozen soil that had absorbed energy, feeling the remaining energy fluctuations in it.
"Evgrid and I are both first-level wizards. The resources we consume must be more than ordinary flowers, plants and trees..."
Lynn took a deep breath, and his thoughts became clearer.
The energy required for an ordinary plant to survive in permafrost for a thousand years is just a tiny fraction.
As a life form at the official wizard level, the energy consumption he needs must increase exponentially! "So, what about life forms at the second, third, or even higher levels?"
His mind raced as he continued to deduce the properties of frozen soil.
"For species that are powerful enough to a certain level, ordinary frozen soil may not be able to meet their needs at all..."
"Perhaps what they need is more refined and higher-grade frozen soil resources..."
Lynn narrowed her eyes, an unprecedented desire burning in her heart.
His demand for frozen soil has reached an extreme level! For a natural wizard, the value of this frozen soil is almost immeasurable, and he... is also a natural wizard, so he is no exception!
He wished he could take control of all the frozen soil resources in his jurisdiction.
But this is obviously not realistic.
Because most of the resources of this garrison castle will be sent to the war fortress, and then the more powerful wizards there will decide how to deal with the resources.
But that doesn't mean he has no solution.
Because he is now on the battlefield, and on the battlefield, the greatest reward for a soldier is military merit.
With military merits, most resources can be obtained.
Not to mention frozen soil, a resource that is of no importance to mechanical wizards.
These are some rare and precious metal materials that can be exchanged for military merits!
"As long as I can accumulate enough military merits... I can monopolize the frozen soil resources of this world... After all, the value of this thing on the military merit table is extremely low! I can take all the frozen soil!"
Lynn's eyes flashed with a cold light.
There are only two ways to gain military merits.
The first way is to kill the enemies in the Goddess camp! The second way is to make great achievements for the wizard camp! The simplest and most direct way is to kill the enemies.
The value of each enemy is also different. Enemies of different identities and strengths can provide very different military merits!
Take the Star Hunter spy he had killed earlier.
That guy's identity is extremely special. He is a first-ring mage of the Star Hunter Society. If Lin En reports this matter, he can get five points of military merit!
Five points of combat merit is equivalent to killing five ordinary first-ring mages! But he didn't report it...
Because giving up the current five points of military merit is for the sake of more military merit!
As for how to attract the Star Hunter members in the Goddess camp, Lin En naturally has his own unique method.
That means joining the game yourself!
Lin En decided to set up a nest by himself, and then hunt those spies of the Star Hunting Society as prey! The spies of the Star Hunting Society have always been cautious. They lurk in the castles guarding the castles. Spies who can get a relatively important position will not easily expose themselves!
For example, the Star Hunter spy that Lin En had killed before was very well hidden and had never even attacked the official wizards guarding the castle.
Even though the other party went to the frozen soil resource area many times, this spy was not exposed at all, but served those official wizards respectfully and humbly.
Even the "Witch Hunting Dagger", which was standard equipment for Star Hunter spies, was still brand new in the spy's hand, and still retained three complete assassination opportunities!
Because those spies are waiting to carry out more important tasks, and only then will they be exposed.
However, Lynn was an outlier, he directly let the spy expose himself and attacked him.
In the eyes of the Star Hunters, he is a fat fish, or even an irresistible delicious bait!
As for the reason, it can be traced back to his experience in [Landscape] during his third-level apprenticeship.
"That spy from the Star Hunters called me a blasphemer. Actually, it's true. After all, I took the God Blood Pill made from God's blood!"
Lin En murmured, recalling the divine blood pills he had taken before.
He still remembered that when the Divine Blood Pill was exchanged in [Landscape], this thing was not valuable because if you took too much, you would be specially marked.
This mark is not visible to the naked eye, but is a deep spiritual imprint.
All beings who believe in the gods can sense this mark and regard the person who wears it as a "blasphemer"! As long as they are members of the gods' civilization, they will attack without hesitation as long as they come into contact with him! This is the fundamental reason why the Star Hunter spy lost control and was exposed! He met Lin En and sensed the "blasphemer mark" that disgusted the gods, and he suddenly attacked on the spot! Lin En believed that the attraction of this mark was far stronger than he had ever imagined!
In other words, he is the "natural enemy" in the eyes of the Star Hunters' spies! As long as the Star Hunters' spies sense his presence, they will be exposed.
I couldn't help wanting to kill him, I couldn't help wanting to completely wipe out this "blasphemer"! At that time, Lin En only needed to deal with those Star Hunter spies to gain a lot of military merits.
There was a deep gleam in Lynn's eyes.
Since I was going to be the bait, I might as well be the most deadly bait! Let all the lurking members of the Star Hunter Club surface and earn a huge amount of military merit at once! Of course, Lin En was not so arrogant as to fight against the entire Star Hunter Club on his own.
The Star Hunter Society’s spies were at different levels. Although his current strength was not weak, if he encountered a second-ring or even third-ring strongman, he would probably not be able to deal with it alone.
Therefore, he was going to apply for external assistance! Lin En didn't know many people, but he didn't know too few either. He first contacted the wizard who was guarding the castle that he was in charge of.
Then, he contacted his friends: Martha and Giroud, who were also from the Eastern Theater...
