Chapter 202 Departure and Crisis
Chapter 202: The gears of fate began to turn. When Qi sent the aura of Shangtia and Tianping to the Kingdom Tianyu, everything entered another level.
The second battlefield, War Fortress No. 13, command room.
Lin En stood quietly in the spacious command room, and suddenly her heart moved and she sensed something strange.
The world around me seemed to change quietly, and a vague sense of oppression filled the air.
He frowned slightly, turned slowly, and scanned every corner of the command room.
The room, which should have been brightly lit, now seemed to be covered with an invisible shadow.
The shadows in the corners seemed to spread and erode quietly, becoming thicker and deeper than in my memory.
"…Is it just an illusion?"
Lynn murmured, but a lingering uneasiness rose in his heart.
He did not dwell on the surface for too long, but instead turned to recall the previous scene.
Astrid conveyed Qi's order, asking him to release all the energy of the Blue Sky Spirit without reservation and pour it into the dream space.
Although his heart was full of doubts and vague vigilance, Lin En finally chose to obey.
And now, the spirit of the blue sky has once again fallen into a state of extreme exhaustion, its vitality has been drained away, and its light has dimmed.
Lin En frowned, feeling a little worried.
"Maple Tree... nothing should go wrong, right?"
He thought silently, his heart sinking.
In addition to the safety of the maple tree in the Blue Sky Spirit, he was more worried about another thing, that was Qi.
Qi's greatest need for him was that time when he released the energy of the Blue Sky Spirit, and now he has done so according to the contract.
Although Lin En guessed that Qi might not have any ill will towards him, he was still suspicious and vigilant by nature, so he was still somewhat worried that the other party would do something to him...
At this moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from Astrid not far away, attracting Lynn's attention.
A familiar figure slowly emerged in the light, it was naturally Qi.
But Qi at this moment is completely different from the lofty figure in Lin En's memory.
Lynn was stunned.
Qi's body was filled with a faint aura of dusk and death. The aura was vague, but icy cold, which made people subconsciously feel chilled.
He looked at Qi, and a bad feeling flashed through his mind.
"…What happened? Was he defeated in the battle with the Demonic Web Goddess? Was he seriously injured?"
Lynn felt the thin evening air and wondered in confusion.
However, just when Lin En was daydreaming, Qi suddenly said something that instantly made him concentrate.
Just as Lin En was lost in thought, Qi suddenly spoke and said something that immediately caught Lin En's attention.
"Do you want to return to the wizarding world?"
Lin En was shocked, and all his thoughts froze at that moment.
Go back? Leave this plane and go back to the wizard world? For this question, Lin En certainly wanted to go back! He certainly wanted to leave this damn expedition plan.
But if you want to return to the wizarding world, there is a prerequisite, that is, this expedition war must be completely over. Whether you win or lose, you have to wait until the expedition war is over.
Now that Qi said this, could it be possible that he has other ways to return to the wizarding world?
Sure enough, the next moment, Qi spoke directly.
"Hold this. I left a node in the wizarding world. You can enter that place directly through the balance space..."
As the words fell, a ray of light golden light quietly emerged in the air.
A small badge was floating in the golden light.
A pocket-sized golden balance badge slowly fell and finally landed in Lin En's palm.
The slightly cool and heavy touch exuded a strange sense of dreaminess, making Lin En feel as if he was in an unreal fantasy for a moment.
As long as he gently crushes the scale badge, he can travel through the scale space and return directly to the wizarding world, leaving this expedition plane full of blood and war.
The desire to go back surged in his heart, almost making him make the decision subconsciously.
But Lin En still forced himself to suppress his emotions, took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Qi, trying to see his true intentions.
The gloomy air on Qi seemed to be even stronger at this moment.
He looked down at Lin En, as if he had already seen through his thoughts, and said lightly: "You'd better leave early."
His voice was calm, yet contained a hint of warning.
"This plane of the world will soon encounter... an attack beyond the level of the Morning Star Wizard."
Above the Morning Star Wizard, there was a terrifying existence at the level of the Shining Moon! This kind of person, even in the wizarding world, would be considered a number one giant.
Could it be that the Brilliant Moon Wizard would take action next? Lin En's heart was shocked.
"At this point, all the contents of the contract between you and me regarding this plane of the world have come to an end."
"As for whether to leave or stay..."
"It's all up to you."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and had no intention of continuing the conversation with Lin En.
The figure of Astrid beside Lynn instantly turned into golden light and quietly dissipated into the air, as if she had never existed.
Immediately afterwards, Qi's figure was also engulfed by a circle of dazzling golden light, and disappeared completely before Lin En could react.
The entire command room was suddenly empty and silent, with only Lin En standing there alone.
He looked down at the silent scale badge in his palm, his throat rolled and he swallowed lightly.
"The contract is over?"
He muttered to himself.
"...No, it should be that only the content related to this plane of world has ended."
Lynn slowly closed his eyes, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the smooth edge of the scale badge.
At least, from now on, he no longer has to worry about the Libra Contract interfering with his actions.
However, there was still a dull pain between my eyebrows.
Lin En knew that there was still a lot of deep content in the Libra Contract that had not been read, and he had only interpreted a small part of it.
The real secret and the real price were deliberately sealed in the deepest part of the contract by Qi, waiting for him to uncover it personally.
Qi did not explain further, but sealed all the answers in the future.
Lin En opened his eyes and looked at the chaotic sky outside the command room with complicated eyes.
"Let's put the matter of the contract and Qi aside for now... The question now is..."
He stared down at the emblem on his palm.
As long as he crushed this thing with a little force, he could leave this war-torn plane and return to the familiar sky of the wizarding world.
Outside, smoke billowed and countless wizards were fighting desperately. Corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers.
If all the wizards participating in the war were allowed to choose at this moment, everyone would probably crush the badge without hesitation and escape from this terrible catastrophe.
Lynn was certainly eager to go back.
But his reason made him hesitate.
"…Once you crush it and leave the battlefield, you'll be considered a deserter."
Lynn's expression calmed down.
All of these wizards who participated in the war had war contracts, as well as implanted chips and other regulatory measures.
Lin En’s current situation should be considered as “lost”. There are many wizards like him.
There is a reason to continue staying in this world, even if you are just a spectator and don't directly participate in the war.
After all, this outer plane was too strange, and it was understandable that he was trapped in a certain area for a long time and could not return to the main force...
But if Lynn crushed the scale badge and went straight back to the wizarding world, then there would really be no excuse at all!
At that point, he would be a complete deserter.
By that time, the Mechanical City would probably be looking for him as a deserter, not to mention that this expedition seemed to involve the intervention of the Wizard Council.
The Wizarding Council is the most powerful authority in the entire wizarding world.
Once they target you, there is nowhere to hide no matter where you escape to.
Even if he was lucky enough to avoid being hunted down, he would have to keep his tail between his legs and hide his head for the rest of his life...
So, after careful consideration, Lin En decided that he could not leave.
At least given the current situation, we can't just leave.
Now the situation between the wizard army and the goddess army is still evenly matched, and it is hard to tell who will win or lose.
Maybe the wizard army will be able to defeat the goddess army next time? At that time, he can return with the main force and don't have to worry about becoming a deserter.
"Of course, if it is true as Qi said, and a terrifying existence of Huiyue's level appears, then in order to save my life, I don't care about the war contract, saving my life is the most important thing..."
Lynn thought so after careful consideration.
………………………………
At the same time, outside the battlefield, the fierce battle between the mechanical puppet wizard and the Bed Mage continued.
The roar was deafening, and the fiery torrents of energy crisscrossed and collided in mid-air, tearing out terrifying cracks.
But in the midst of the violent confrontation, an indescribable uneasiness gradually arose in the heart of the mechanical puppet wizard.
Too long.
The Spirit Eye Wizard...it's been dragging on for too long.
Logically speaking, even if the city lord wanted to communicate with him, it shouldn't take so long.
But until now, he still has not returned to the battlefield to join him. This abnormality makes the mechanical puppet wizard vaguely sense that something is wrong.
With a frown on his face, the mechanical puppet wizard finally gave the order.
He mobilized one of his most trusted confidants, the great wizard Youde, and asked him to contact the wizard Lingmou immediately to confirm the other party's situation.
Boom! Before the message was fed back, a flaming spear broke through the air like thunder, carrying a monstrous scorching force, and suddenly stabbed at the mechanical puppet wizard!
But the mechanical puppet wizard had already been surrounded by heavy defenses.
Densely packed mechanical creations, like a ruthless steel fleet, guarded him in layers.
The energy shield created ripples in the air, eventually blocking the blazing flaming spear, leaving only a few charred marks.
The mechanical puppet wizard stood in the center of the metal torrent, like a towering and immovable steel fortress.
But after blocking this attack, his face became extremely ugly.
Because, just now, he received a message from the great wizard Yoder:
The Spirit Eye Wizard is missing!
There was no trace, no energy left, like a wisp of smoke, it completely evaporated and disappeared from the battlefield.
"Damn it! I got tricked by that guy again!"
The mechanical puppet wizard gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with cold anger.
He had suffered at the hands of the Spirit Eye Wizard before, so he was already wary of the situation.
But no one expected that the other party would take advantage of the critical moment of communication with the city lord to escape.
In an instant, the mechanical wizard felt a surge of anger in his chest, and he wanted to tear that guy into pieces with his own hands! However, now, he and Master Bed were in a fierce confrontation, and the surroundings were blocked and suppressed by the other side. He couldn't get away easily.
Just as the Mechanical Puppet Wizard was secretly gritting his teeth and cursing the Spirit Eye Wizard a thousand times in his heart, a new message came from the Great Wizard Youde.
There was a hint of subtle surprise and eagerness in the tone of the Great Wizard Youde:
"Master Jikui, we can't find any trace of the Spirit Eye Wizard, but... the little wizard named 'Lin' that you specifically asked us to keep an eye out for seems to have appeared."
Lynn?
The mechanical puppet wizard's eyes narrowed slightly.
At the same time, Great Wizard Yod quickly added more information: It turned out that Great Wizard Yod had previously used the war fortress's detection system to try to search for the traces of the Spirit Eye Wizard, but found nothing.
But during the scan, he accidentally detected Lynn's presence from the database.
Of course, the great wizard Yode has not forgotten the little wizard Lin En.
Although Lin En seemed to be fine and normal, the great wizard Yod still felt something was wrong with the little wizard.
The great wizard Youde guessed that he must have a big secret, so he moved him to his side and wanted to observe him.
Unfortunately, the transfer order brought him to War Fortress No. 13, but the plane war also started at this moment.
Great Wizard Yod never had the chance to study the secrets of Lin En.
Therefore, when the mechanical puppet wizard specifically instructed his confidant to pay attention to Lin En in the 13th War Fortress, the great wizard Youde was slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, the mechanical puppet wizard also noticed the secret of this little wizard and paid so much attention to him.
Therefore, after discovering Lin En's information, he told it directly to the mechanical puppet wizard.
Upon hearing the news, the mechanical puppet wizard was moved.
"At the beginning, Lingmou specifically asked me to order to deal with this little guy, but he never killed him... There is a problem. This little wizard may have a close relationship with Lingmou... Hehe, Lingmou left, but he didn't take you with him..."
Boom! The next moment, the mechanical puppet wizard swung out a palm.
The violent mechanical force roared out and pressed forward like a mountain collapsing.
The waves of water magic that Master Bed had created were shattered by this attack, turning into countless water mists that splashed in the air.
Taking advantage of the brief period of suppression, the mechanical puppet wizard quickly sent a message to the great wizard Youde, asking him to control the little wizard named Lin En.
………………………………
In the vast and boundless world of endless dimensions, everything is as small as dust.
An extremely huge plane world, placed here, is just a drop in the ocean.
Even the enormous civilization of gods and wizards is just a slightly larger reef if placed in the endless ocean of planes.
As the waves rise and fall, countless worlds are born and destroyed like waves.
At this moment, in the lair of the gods' civilization, in the magnificent [Kingdom Sky], an unusual movement is brewing.
A deep and dark wave, like an undercurrent rising quietly in the darkness of the night, slowly rose from the depths of the kingdom's sky.
It then transformed into a stream of dark light, broke through the dimensional barriers, and flew towards a certain direction in the endless deep space!
That direction is exactly the thirteenth plane world where the Mechanical City is operating this time.
The dark goddess Shar has finally set off!
As a powerful main god, her whereabouts are difficult to conceal, especially when she is attacking with all her strength and moving at full speed.
Wherever she passed, even time and space seemed to be eroded by darkness, twisting and undulating, unable to hide anything.
She sped along, and the dark waves she caused were like raging waves, shaking the perception of countless worlds.
Therefore, the wizard civilization had already noticed her movements at the first moment!
The highest power center of wizard civilization, the Wizard Council.
Here, floating witchcraft temples are stacked and intertwined, countless stars of wisdom are rotating in the void, and mysterious power is flowing.
The information that the Wizard Council receives every day is as vast as a sea of sand, and is detailed down to every new small plane and every secondary war.
However, when this highest level of emergency information suddenly came in, the atmosphere in the entire parliament suddenly stagnated.
[Alert: The Dark Goddess of the Gods Civilization, Shar, is sabotaging an expedition requested by the Nightmare Rift Valley in the southern region of the wizard world. It is suspected to be an attack on the wizard expeditionary force! ]
At this moment, all the wizards in the Wizard Council held their breath and focused their eyes on this emergency notice.
