Chapter 208 Goddess's Body
Chapter 208
In the Mechanical City, on the third floor, in a quiet villa.
Lin En stood in the middle of the bedroom, staring at the woman sleeping on the bed.
She was wearing a long black dress that fell as smooth as the night.
Her long jet-black hair spread out quietly, like black tassels flowing on the pillow. Her beautiful face was calm and peaceful, as if a god from the deep sea was lying there quietly.
This woman was actually the incarnation of the Demon Net Goddess who rushed into the light gate with Lin En.
"The flesh body of a formal god... is extremely rare."
Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the divine body that looked like a work of art, but he had no intention of blasphemy in his heart.
What we do have is just a calm and accurate assessment of value.
He slowly stretched out his right hand and his eyes fell on his wrist.
There, a magic web mark like a rune mark appeared and was clearly visible.
On the surface, it appears to be engraved on the skin, but in reality it has already crossed the flesh and bones and is deeply imprinted in Lynn's spirit.
This is the real purpose of the Demon Net Goddess, to break into the golden light gate through her clone and thereby lock onto Lin En's location.
In the civilization of gods, if a main god-level being paid such "attention" to them, even other gods would feel uneasy and shudder with fear.
However, Lynn was not panicked.
He is now in the wizard civilization, a world where gods find it difficult to set foot.
No matter how powerful the Goddess of the Demon Net is, it is not easy for her to cross the barrier of civilization and land here.
"This body must be properly preserved...it may be sold for a high price in the future."
Lin En's eyes were filled with a solemnity that made it seem as if no one could approach him. It was obvious that the effects of four thousand five hundred years of hard training had not yet been eliminated.
He looked across the balcony to the wizarding towers and buildings in the distance that shone in the sunlight.
Finally, before the end of his life, he successfully returned to the wizarding world with the help of the power of the "Golden Scales".
Even though the price might be that he might be wanted by the Mechanical City, compared to Lin En's own life, this life was obviously more important.
"However, even after returning to the wizarding world, I don't have any time to breathe..."
Lin En's heart sank, and his eyes were as cold as a knife.
He is only a second-level wizard now, and his theoretical peak lifespan is only 500 years.
Before entering the plane expedition, he was nearly twenty years old.
The time spent on the expedition was even more shocking, a full four hundred and fifty years.
In other words, he only had thirty years left to live! If he didn't want to die, he only had two choices.
One is to search for those legendary treasures that can prolong life, but such rare objects are often priceless or even out of stock.
He couldn't entrust his life to waiting in vain.
The second is to improve one's own cultivation.
Only by breaking through the existing wizard level can one obtain a stronger spiritual body and vitality, and extend lifespan with the help of "species evolution".
Now Lin En is at the middle stage of the second-level wizard. As long as he breaks through to the third-level great wizard, his lifespan will increase.
In this way, the danger to life span will naturally be solved.
It is easier said than done.
Cultivation cannot be separated from resources.
The reason why Lin En was able to improve rapidly in the plane war was because of the power of faith of the goddess of plunder.
But now that he has returned to the wizarding world, the power of faith naturally no longer exists.
In this case, he could only rely on various rare resources to quickly improve his mental strength.
After all, he has less than thirty years left.
If he wants to become a third-level wizard in such a short period of time, he will never sit and wait for death and risk his life.
"Resources... maybe we can go there..."
Lin En reached out and touched his forehead lightly, and the contract signed with [Qi] emerged in his mind.
The content of the contract was complex and covered the profound essence of the entire civilization. One paragraph in it left a deep impression on Lin En to this day.
There is a treasure hidden in the [landscape] of the Great Forest of Cuidao.
He once obtained the "Divine Blood Pill" in that treasure house, which greatly enhanced his mental strength.
Now, he is eager to absorb resources again, and [Landscape] is undoubtedly the best choice.
More importantly, now that he has control over the golden scales, it is equivalent to holding the key to the [Landscape], and he no longer has to worry about being swallowed up and dragged into the [Landscape].
"If we can obtain those resources, becoming a level 3 wizard... may not be far away."
After sorting out his thoughts, Lynn had already made a plan for the future.
However, before leaving the Mechanical City, he still had one thing to do.
That is to bring his maid, Bephny.
This loyal maid has been serving him diligently, and Lin En has become accustomed to her presence.
"Bephny's talent is too poor, she is destined not to become a real wizard. Even if she is an elf, her life span will eventually end, and she is destined not to be able to accompany me for too far..."
"If it were in the past, I might not have brought her with me."
"But now it's... different."
Lin En spread out his palm, and an illusory golden scale appeared in his palm.
On the scale, five shadows appeared, representing from weakest to strongest:
Wizard apprentice, first-level wizard, second-level wizard, third-level great wizard, and even fourth-level Morning Star wizard.
Lin En knew four of them: the first-level wizard was Sonya, the second-level was Astrid, the third-level was the black dragon, and the fourth-level was the Spirit Eye Wizard.
At this moment, he has a deeper understanding of the golden balance.
The spirits of these five figures have long been placed in the balance.
Although it is essentially a "slave" of Libra, it is able to survive forever because of the existence of Libra and prosper together with it.
In other words, as long as Lynn replaced the strange wizard apprentice with Bephny, he could make her a "slave" of the Golden Scales and gain a long life as long as the Scales.
"Thanks to you, I was able to return to this world. In return, I will set you free..."
With this in mind, Lin En's mental power controlled the golden scale.
Suddenly, an illusory flame swallowed up the wizard apprentice's figure and he disappeared completely.
On the golden scale, the slave position belonging to the wizard apprentice is now vacant.
………………………………
Mechanical City, fifth floor.
The atmosphere in Daven's residence was solemn at the moment.
His brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy, and he was obviously worried about something.
Bephantine, who was standing next to her, was wearing a long dress, her pretty face was slightly dazed, her red lips were pursed, and her expression revealed a hint of sadness and uneasiness.
What made the two of them look so happy was a piece of news from Marco.
"Don't worry, I believe that Brother Lin En is definitely not the kind of person who runs away from the battlefield. There must be a misunderstanding!"
Daven patted his chest and comforted him in a firm tone.
But before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart.
"My second senior brother Marco deserves to die. It's fine if he just causes trouble for me, but he even attacks the people around me!"
He had promised Lynn that he would take good care of Bephny's safety.
But Marco, under the pretext of "dealing with deserter assets," blatantly wanted to take action against Lynn.
It was obvious that Marco had already kept Lynn in mind.
Lynn cleverly avoided his difficulties many times, which was an intolerable "humiliation" for Marco, who always thought highly of himself and held a high status.
Now he is bringing up old matters again and finding fault again, just to use Lin En to "establish his authority".
The so-called "dealing with deserters" is just a high-sounding excuse.
His real purpose is to use this as a warning to others and tell everyone: whoever dares to provoke him will pay the price.
Just when the atmosphere was becoming extremely depressing, an abrupt doorbell rang, breaking the silence.
Daven and Bephny looked at each other, but before they could ask anything, the heavy door opened with a bang.
One figure after another walked into the house.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a gloomy face and sharp eyes. He was Davin's second senior brother, Marco.
There was also a wizard with a burly figure and an extraordinary aura following beside him, and it was obvious that he had come with bad intentions.
Behind the two of them, there were many wizard apprentices wearing Mechanical City clothes.
"Daven..."
Marco had a sneer on his face and looked directly at Daven's face.
"Your friend Lin En turned out to be a deserter. Tsk tsk... you really know how to judge people."
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed with a half-smile, his tone full of sarcasm.
"The teacher hates people who run away from the battlefield the most. If he knew that his disciple was hanging out with such people... Tsk tsk..."
These words were not only a humiliation to Lynn, but also a threat to Daven.
Daven's face turned pale, but he was speechless for a moment.
Because Marco did have intelligence documents from inside the Mechanical City in his hands, which clearly stated that Lin En's current identity was a "deserter."
This news shocked Daven and made him silent for a moment.
Marco felt very happy when he saw his junior fellow apprentice in such an awkward state.
Marco turned his gaze to the woman next to Daven, and his eyes suddenly brightened slightly.
That was Bephny.
Although she was only a first-level apprentice, as an elf, she was born with outstanding looks, snow-white skin, and a graceful figure. Even in the mechanical city, she was enough to make people's eyes shine.
What's more, Bephantine was looking angry at the moment, with her lips tightly pursed. This cold and stubborn look made her even more charming.
Marco raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a hint of naked amusement and malice flashed across his eyes.
He didn't care about Bephny's identity and strength. What really made him happy was that she was once Lin En's personal maid.
If he could "deal with" her in front of Daven, it would be tantamount to inflicting humiliation on Lynn, who had repeatedly frustrated him in the past. The thought of it made him feel happy.
"Take her away." Marco waved his hand casually, his tone relaxed but full of oppression, "Send her to me. I want to examine her carefully to see if she has any secrets or information left by the deserter Linn."
As the orders were given, his gaze became more and more outrageous, wandering over Bephny unscrupulously, with no attempt to conceal his greed and insult.
Bethenny's face turned pale instantly, her body trembled slightly, and her fingertips tightly grasped the corner of her clothes.
Daven's face immediately turned pale, and he took a step forward and shouted angrily:
"Who dares to touch her!"
"Do you know whose residence this is? I want to see who dares to act wildly here!"
His voice was like thunder and he was filled with rage, which for a moment caused the wizard apprentices who were eager to try to stop what they were doing and look at each other with hesitation.
Although Marco is extremely powerful, Daven's status should not be underestimated.
Both of them are disciples of the Warhammer Master. If a fight really breaks out, it will be difficult for either of them to clean up the mess.
Seeing this, Marco's face darkened and he snorted in displeasure.
"you go."
He stopped talking nonsense and looked directly at the tall and burly wizard beside him and gave the order in a deep voice.
This person was the subordinate he had sent earlier to cause trouble for Lin En.
Although Lynn cleverly escaped last time, this time, Marco obviously didn't intend to let anyone slip away from him again.
Now the target is Bephny, a weak elf apprentice who obviously has nowhere to escape.
The burly wizard nodded and was about to take action when Daven suddenly stood in front of Bephny and said in an extremely cold tone:
"You dare to attack me?"
The burly wizard paused and his expression changed slightly.
Although he followed Marco, he was still somewhat wary of Daven, his junior brother with a special status.
However, after hearing that Davin's practice was slow and he was not even a formal wizard, the fear in his heart faded a little.
"I'm sorry."
He whispered something, and his figure flashed. He suddenly bypassed Daven and appeared behind Bephny like lightning, and suddenly reached out to capture her!
"you--!"
Daven was shocked and turned around to stop him, but he was not strong enough and could only watch the burly wizard's hand reach out to Bephny...
However, at this moment, something strange happened! A fresh and natural fragrance suddenly spread out, like a spring breeze blowing on your face, and the next moment, lush and tall trees suddenly appeared on the first floor of the villa.
The originally empty and simple hall was instantly transformed into a vibrant forest illusion.
The branches and leaves are swaying, the grass is growing, and even the floor is covered with a soft green carpet, as if the earth beneath our feet is waking up.
This sudden change instantly startled everyone.
Although the burly wizard looked surprised, he did not stop. His five fingers were like hooks, and he continued to grab Bephny.
At this moment, the ground beside Bephny shook violently, and one thick tree root after another broke out of the ground, as if the gods were casting a protection, protecting her tightly.
Then, the ground cracked again, and a thick tree root turned into a sharp spear, carrying a cold murderous intent, and pierced the burly wizard!
"What--!"
The burly wizard's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face changed drastically when he realized he was being attacked. But before he could fully react, the tree-like roots were already within reach.
"This speed... is impossible! Level one? Level two? No, this... this is the power of a level three great wizard!"
Before he could even finish his shock, the tree root had already pierced his head! "Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the burly wizard's head exploded instantly under the terrifying power of the tree roots, blood and flesh splattered, and his entire body exploded into a bloody mist! In an instant, a first-level wizard was killed on the spot!
The hall was filled with blood and flesh splattered everywhere. The scene was extremely tragic.
Daven was caught off guard and was shocked by this scene. His face turned pale and he retched on the spot.
The wizard apprentices behind Marco were even more terrified and retreated one after another with pale faces.
Even Marco himself frowned and looked serious at this moment.
Only Bephny was safe and sound under the protection of the tree roots.
She looked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement and surprise.
"Owner!"
She called out softly, her beautiful face full of joy, her eyes filled with crystal water light, she was sure that he was here! "Hmm?"
Marco felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, a hand was suddenly placed gently on his shoulder, making his hair stand on end.
Marco's body began to tremble, and he turned his head to the side, looking at the person behind him...
