Chapter 175 The Purpose of Qi
Chapter 175
With Maple Tree's narration, Lynn finally understood the true origin of the [landscape].
At the same time, he finally understood one thing:
Why would Fengshu, the top genius and lord-level existence of the Natural Divine Dynasty, who would most likely break through to the pinnacle of the Shining Moon Wizard in the future, appear in the southern region where natural wizards are extremely rare?
Settled in a remote area at the junction of the Kingdom of Eluria, the Principality of Kesira, and the Principality of Salam.
Moreover, he is still trapped in the Great Forest of Cuidao and has not been able to escape yet.
It turned out that he took the initiative to join the game and came here to pursue the golden scale.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.
Even a strong person like Fengshu is no exception.
However, he failed and was ambushed by the alien creature, and even his body was taken away by the other party.
He can only hide in his own extraordinary plants and survive until now...
Fengshu spoke slowly with a complex tone and a bit of bitterness, "That alien creature, also known as 'Qi'... I don't know how he appeared."
"Because according to the definition of [landscape], there will only be remnants of civilization here, and theoretically no living individuals should be born here."
Lynn frowned and listened carefully.
"But, the moment I found the golden scales, he suddenly attacked."
Fengshu paused, as if recalling the scene at that time, and slowly said: "I, a natural wizard who controls the 'Spirit of the Blue Sky', actually encountered the attack that the fallen Lord God had suffered in the past..."
"The only difference is that I had a little better luck and didn't die on the spot."
"I tried my best to retreat into the 'Blue Sky Spirit' to protect myself... until your teacher arrived."
Fengshu's voice contained a hint of self-mockery. It was really unacceptable that he, a lord-level wizard, had ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
Lin En also had some understanding of what happened later.
At this point, he finally connected the secret cause and effect together.
However, Lin En still has a question in his mind, which is about the mysterious existence of "Qi".
Judging from Maple Tree's description, he was plotted against without realizing it, and has been imprisoned in the Great Forest of Cuidao since then, barely surviving.
During this period, Fengshu did not have much contact with Qi, so naturally he could not say that he knew him well.
But even so, Lynn still hoped that this once powerful wizard could give him some advice.
So, he pondered for a moment and said, "That day, he suddenly appeared beside me..."
Lynn recounted everything that happened that day in detail, including how Qi used the golden scales to create a contract and forced him to sign it.
How could he help him harvest the goddess's faith and recharge the 'Spirit of the Blue Sky'? Even Lin En's mental strength was improved as a result.
However, when he said this, Lin En frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
"So far, this contract has done me no harm... I have even made a profit from it."
"But that's why I feel something is wrong."
Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered:
"Qi's goal is really hard to figure out..."
After listening to Lin En's story, Fengshu frowned slightly, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
After all, judging from the current situation, Lin En's treatment is a bit too generous.
Lin En and the alien creature Qi are neither relatives nor old friends. In fact, they were completely hostile to each other before.
Qi found Lin En, but only to sign a contract...
And this contract did not contain any clauses that would harm Lin En, but instead, most of the content was beneficial to Lin En? Not only was there no malice, it even helped Lin En harvest the goddess's faith, recharged the spirit of the blue sky, and improved his mental strength...
This is really too unreasonable.
Feng Shu was puzzled, but in the end, he did not delve into it further.
Since it is unclear, it is better to put it aside for the time being and not express your own subjective judgment, so as not to affect Lin En's thinking direction.
Instead of speculating on Qi's purpose, it is better to first obtain more information about the [Landscape].
So, Fengshu hesitated for a moment and said slowly:
"I have a guess, but it's only of some reference value. Just listen to it."
“The power of [landscape] is time-bound.”
Lynn raised his brows and waited for what was to come.
"In essence, [Landscape] is a civilization bomb. Although it is difficult to destroy directly, it will eventually be absorbed and assimilated by our wizarding world over time."
"When the [landscape] is completely assimilated by the wizarding world, it will slowly dissipate..."
Maple Tree paused and continued:
"For example, the one in the Great Forest of the Emerald Island."
"Perhaps after a period of time, such as hundreds of years, it will completely dissipate."
Hearing this, Lynn was thoughtful.
Fengshu glanced at him and continued, "Although I still don't understand the nature of 'Qi'."
"But if we assume that he is not really a 'living being', but part of the [landscape], a continuation of a fragment of civilization."
"So, when [the landscape] dissipates, will he dissipate with it?"
"In other words, a hundred years from now, will he be completely annihilated as the [landscape] disintegrates?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin En's eyes suddenly lit up! A new direction of thinking was completely opened up!
Even though all of this is still based on assumptions, it does provide a whole new perspective.
If Qi's life was limited, rather than being a truly long-lived Morning Star Wizard-level creature.
Then all his actions now must be to achieve a certain goal before his "dissipation deadline" arrives!
"He's racing against time!"
This speculation made Lin En's mind work quickly, and he thought to himself: "I learned their writing and language from the [landscape]."
"Obviously, this civilization has been completely destroyed by the gods, and a strong man like Qi must die standing, fighting to the very end..."
Lin En's eyes flickered slightly, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.
"If a dead warrior were to be resurrected..."
"So what is the most likely thing he would do when he sees that his civilization has been destroyed?"
"Revenge, of course."
Lynn clenched his fists slightly.
If all assumptions are true, then Qi's real goal must be a revenge plan against the gods' civilization!
As for what he would do, Lin En couldn't speculate for the time being.
But he was almost certain that the role he played in this must be inextricably linked to the Azure Sky Spirit...
Maple seemed to sense that Lin En was deep in thought, his eyes moved slightly, he sighed softly, and said with some emotion: "The traces of a civilization are its language and writing.
“Only by truly mastering their language and writing can we deeply understand their thoughts, history and beliefs.”
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and then he changed the subject, with a hint of exploration in his tone.
"In fact, I have always been curious..."
“How did you learn their language and writing in [the landscape]?”
Maple's voice was unhurried, his eyes fixed on Lynn, as if waiting for his answer.
“Although [the landscape] is part of the fragments of civilization, it is not a complete heritage site.”
"In such an environment, with no mentor to guide you and no classics to follow, it would be too bizarre to master the writing and language of a broken civilization without a teacher."
Maple's voice was low, yet scrutinizing.
Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.
Of course he understood that Maple was testing him.
The fact that he was able to learn the language of Qi's civilization was entirely due to the natural talent of "God rewards hard work".
But he naturally wouldn't reveal a single thing about this matter.
So, he said calmly and in a calm tone:
"Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Upon hearing this, Fengshu stared at Lin En for a moment, and finally just smiled faintly without further asking.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Yeah……"
He sighed softly. Since Lin En didn't want to talk in depth, he didn't bother about it anymore. He restrained his breath and hid himself inside the Spirit of the Blue Sky again.
Lin En felt the maple tree's breath completely restrained, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he nodded secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, beings like Fengshu, even if they have limited information, have extremely high knowledge and level.
From a high vantage point, perhaps just a few words can give the most crucial guidance.
"According to our assumption..."
Lynn muttered to herself, her eyes gradually becoming deeper.
"Qi is still a 'helper' to me now. He will not act rashly until the Azure Spirit is fully charged."
"This also means that I still have time to accumulate strength!"
His eyes gradually became sharper and his thoughts gradually became clearer.
"During this period of time, I must find a way to absorb enough spiritual energy to elevate my realm to a higher level."
"As long as I can break through to the second-level wizard, or even a higher level..."
Lynn took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.
If it were the old him, his control over the Blue Sky Spirit would be extremely limited, and it would be almost impossible for him to actively mobilize the power of faith within it.
But now, Maple is awake.
With the cooperation of Maple Tree in the Blue Sky Spirit, everything is different! With the help of Maple Tree, they can completely delay the time for the Blue Sky Spirit to be fully charged, thereby "lining their pockets".
If all this can go smoothly, then Lin En might really be able to take advantage of the situation to activate the combat power of this Morning Star Wizard and accumulate huge resources during this period of time!
"Level 2 wizard... or even higher, level 2 wizard mid-level, level 2 wizard late-level... a one-step promotion to level 3 great wizard?"
Lynn shook her head slightly, a playful smile on her lips.
This scenario is unlikely, but not impossible.
The key lies in how he uses the resources at his disposal and how he maximizes the benefits before his purpose is fully exposed.
However, before that, he had another important matter to deal with.
That is to use the "Mechanical City Research Institute Member Token" given to him by the great wizard Chris.
"But how do you use this thing?"
Lynn thought about it, left the window, and walked along the aisle beside the window towards the deeper part of the war fortress.
Even if you have the institute membership token in your hand, if you want it to really work, you still need to hand it over to the right person.
The power system within the war fortress is complex and interpersonal connections are equally important.
With his current position, there are only a few senior executives that he can directly contact...
"Great Wizard Yod..."
Lynn murmured softly, the cold and steady figure appearing in his mind.
Great Wizard Yod can indeed be counted as one of his “connections”.
Although this kind of "connection" is not close, there have even been some misunderstandings and frictions between the two sides.
But it is undeniable that Great Wizard Yode, as a third-level great wizard and one of the commanders of the war fortress, is undoubtedly the most influential person Lin En can come into contact with.
"But... it was he who personally nominated me to be the captain of the team from the garrison wizard."
"If I go to him with this token, is it possible to make him change his mind?"
Lin En recalled the eagle-like eyes of the great wizard Yod and frowned slightly.
Someone like him would never be easily persuaded unless he made the decision on his own initiative.
Especially for someone like Lin En, who is still considered a "weakling" in his eyes, his influence is minimal.
"Obviously, we can't go to the Great Wizard Yoder... Then, what about the other Great Wizard?"
Lynn recalled the information about the war fortress and pondered the name of the other great wizard.
"I remember his name seemed to be Earl..."
While he was thinking, a noisy argument suddenly came from the front, breaking the originally rigorous and solemn atmosphere of the fortress.
"Hmm? The military law is strict in the war fortress. Who dares to make such a noise?"
Lin En's heart moved and he walked quickly towards the source of the sound.
Soon, he saw a group of wizards gathered together, seemingly watching something.
And in the center of the crowd, two familiar witchcraft auras were colliding violently.
A female wizard wearing black-framed glasses was staring coldly at the tall, rough-looking male wizard opposite her. The two were arguing about something.
Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he noticed that both of them had two permanent witchcraft marks on their bodies, which clearly showed that they were both at the level of Level 2 wizards! In the war fortress, disputes between Level 2 wizards were rare...
What on earth was going on? Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly and walked closer slowly, trying to figure out the situation.
I saw the two second-level wizards standing in front of a tactical sand table, pointing at a certain area of the war fortress and arguing excitedly.
Lin En stood on the periphery and listened quietly. After a moment, he finally figured out the whole story.
It turned out that these two second-level wizards were not ordinary combat wizards, but mechanical engineers of the war fortress, responsible for managing the mechanical system and related affairs within the entire fortress.
The war fortress's witchcraft and mechanical systems are extremely large and complex, involving the maintenance and upgrades of various defense facilities, armed systems, energy cycles, and even war puppets.
Although the two commanders of the war fortresses hold high positions, they are mainly responsible for higher-level strategic deployment and war affairs.
As for the more detailed mechanical management, it is left to these two second-level wizards.
Only by specialization and reasonable division of labor can the efficient operation of the war fortress be ensured.
However, precisely because they are core managers in the field of mechanics, their differences become increasingly obvious.
The source of this dispute is the old problem in mechanics, the choice of development direction.
One side advocates "strengthening unity"
Build the ultimate combat power of a single soldier and push individual mechanical weapons to the strongest level. Do not pursue quantity, but focus on polishing each war machine to the extreme and crush all enemies with quality.
The other side advocates "group coordination"
Develop a mechanical army and rely on numerical advantage to form overwhelming firepower. Do not seek single-unit limits, but ensure battlefield coverage to form a real war torrent.
The war was about to arrive, so what should be done with the war fortress's armament plan? This was the root cause of the dispute between the two second-level wizards.
