Chapter 230 Clara Davis
Chapter 230
On the top floor of Liuyun Building, a wide open square stands out.
There are densely packed teleportation arrays here, like stars, scattered in an orderly manner.
Above each teleportation array, there is a unique sign floating, clearly indicating the city and region it leads to.
The teleportation array in the direction of the "Five-Star City" is particularly large, with silver-white runes and endlessly flowing light, like a series of silently pulsating tides.
On one side of the formation, wizards from Liuyun Tower were maintaining and calibrating the nodes to ensure the stability of the array and correct energy supply.
Along with a burst of dazzling silver light, dozens of figures emerged in the teleportation array, some strong, some weak, some alone, some in groups, all coming from distant places.
Lin En was one of them. Beside him was the natural wizard who had not yet awakened.
Around the square, there was already a group of people waiting eagerly.
These people are collectively referred to as "guides". Some are official guides arranged by Liuyun Tower, but more of them are local practitioners who want to make a living from this.
They either work for commissions or to connect with resources, each with their own plans.
But Lynn would certainly not leave his fate to these trash.
He was not short of money and was not looking for cheapness, so he directly found a Liuyunlou staff member who was neatly dressed and wearing an official badge.
Just like in Five Star City, Lin En spoke without any delay and spoke concisely and decisively:
"Two tickets for the farthest teleportation. By the way, book me a good place to stay."
The staff did a brief registration and immediately made arrangements.
The process is extremely efficient with almost no delays.
However, unlike the last time when he was so high-profile, Lin En seemed particularly low-key this time.
After booking the teleportation ticket, he quickly left with the natural wizard and headed straight for the residence he had booked.
As the saying goes, "A poor home brings wealth on the road." When Lin En is away from home, he will never let himself live in shabby conditions.
The place he stayed in was one of the top-notch accommodations provided in Liuyun Tower.
The spacious and bright residence is equipped with various functional areas such as energy pool, laboratory, meditation room, etc. The environment is quiet and beautiful, comparable to a five-star private residence.
However, at this moment, Lynn had no intention of studying or practicing.
He led the nature wizard straight into the living room.
In Five Star City, he had successfully freed the opponent from the witchcraft control of the slave collar, but he had not had time to take it off.
Now that I’m in a stable place, I finally have the chance to deal with this matter.
The light in the living room is soft.
Lin En stood in front of the sofa, raised his hand and gently lifted the other person's hood, revealing the face that had always been covered.
It was a human woman.
She has long hair with a hint of red, delicate eyebrows and light blue eyes, like an unmelted lake in late spring.
In terms of appearance, she is not stunning, nor charming enough, she can only be described as pretty and attractive.
To Lin En, who was used to seeing stunning beauties, she was just an ordinary girl.
He stared at her quietly for a few seconds before his eyes fell on the slave collar around her neck.
The runes on the collar dimmed and had lost their binding power.
He reached out and took it off. When the metal fell off, it seemed as if the last shackles on her body were also removed.
Lynn placed the slave collar gently aside, his movements calm and his expression calm.
As the silver metal fell to the ground with a crisp sound, the body of the natural wizard trembled slightly and she stood still, but in the depths of her eyes, rays of light suddenly appeared, as if her consciousness was gradually awakening.
Subtle changes began to appear on her face.
When she was bound by a slave collar, her expression was like that of a puppet, empty and emotionless.
At this moment, as her spirit gradually recovered, her face gradually showed surprise, confusion, fear, and even a hint of belated anger and shame.
These emotions intertwined on her pretty face, layer by layer, rising and falling like the tide, and lasted for more than ten minutes.
Lin En sat on the sofa, his eyes calm and silent, as if he was watching a silent performance.
Finally, the chaotic emotional fluctuations gradually subsided.
The nature wizard's body trembled slightly, and clarity finally returned to his light blue eyes.
She slowly lowered her head and looked at Lin En who was sitting on the sofa. There was no hostility in her eyes, but there was no flattery or fear either, only a hint of complexity and doubt.
She did nothing but stared at him in silence.
Of course she remembered Lynn.
Even though her consciousness was blocked when she was a slave, her memories still exist.
That night, Lin En controlled the black dragon and easily killed two powerful wizards. She still has lingering fears.
What made her even more fearful was that she vaguely remembered that the other party had summoned some kind of natural plant during the battle, which brought with it a pure and powerful natural aura.
In other words, this young man is most likely also a natural wizard.
She was about to speak, and her voice only uttered one syllable: "You..."
Before she could finish her words, Lin En raised her hand and interrupted her.
He folded his fingers, leaned back slightly, and spoke in a calm but unquestionable tone:
"Good, you didn't panic. It seems you understand your situation."
He paused for a moment, then slowly said:
"I took a picture of you in Five Star City, and now... you belong to me."
"I have some questions for you. I hope you can cooperate actively. Otherwise..." He raised his eyes slightly, and his tone suddenly sank, "I don't mind searching your soul directly."
The nature wizard's heart tightened slightly, but she showed no panic.
"Your name, origin, and how you became a slave... Now, you can tell me."
After a few moments of silence, the woman finally spoke. Her voice was cold, with a hint of helplessness and a hint of self-esteem: "My name is Clara Davis, and I come from the Eastern Wizarding World..."
Lynn's expression remained calm until she said the last name "Davis", and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
Davis.
He was very familiar with this name.
His teacher, whose full name was Rosalind Davis, came from this family.
This natural wizard in front of him, if she was not lying, was most likely... of the same bloodline as his mentor.
Lin En didn't say anything, but just silently took note of the information.
Clara naturally didn't notice his abnormality and continued calmly, "I originally lived in the East, but my family suffered a drastic change and fell apart."
"I had no choice but to flee, traveling all the way south to avoid being hunted down. Unfortunately... I fell into the hands of a wizard near Five Star City. Since I had no one to rely on, I became a slave."
Her tone was calm, without any complaints or intense emotions, as if all these sufferings were just passing clouds.
Lynn's fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest, a gleam in her eyes.
Clara Davis...Nature Wizard...The Davis Family...
Various clues intertwined in Lin En's mind, and he was almost certain that the natural wizard named Clara in front of him might be an unexpected surprise.
The only thing that made him feel regretful was that his teacher Rosalind was still sealed in the Spirit of the Blue Sky and could not come forward to confirm her identity.
Otherwise, one can easily find out Clara's origins and the truth of what she said by simply comparing them.
And now, with only Clara's one-sided statement, Lin En naturally couldn't believe it all.
Her stories may not be entirely false, but they are mostly mixed with concealment and embellishment.
For example, if she was really a descendant of the Davis family, why did she flee all the way to the southern part of the wizarding world after her family was in trouble? The east is a vast area with countless hiding places, so it is possible to avoid disaster.
Especially with her current level of cultivation as a first-level wizard, crossing such a vast territory is extremely suspicious in itself.
Not to mention moving across the entire wizarding world, even within the same large region, migration between countries is a difficult and dangerous journey.
Thinking of this, Lin En's eyes suddenly condensed, and he spoke in a calm tone:
“Look me in the eyes.”
Clara raised her eyes instinctively, and the moment she met Lin's gaze, she felt an invisible pressure sweeping over her like a landslide or tsunami.
The next moment, Lin En suddenly burst out with the soul pressure that only a third-level great wizard possessed. The majestic spiritual power roared like thunder, instantly enveloping her entire consciousness space.
Clara's body trembled slightly, her face changed suddenly, and she fell into a trance for a short time.
At this moment, she clearly saw that Lin En had stood up from the sofa, walked slowly towards her, raised his right hand, and pointed his slender index finger steadily at her forehead.
In her light blue eyes, the finger suddenly changed. The skin seemed to turn into bark, and tangled plant fibers emerged between the knuckles. It gently but accurately reached towards her forehead.
These plant filaments were dancing lightly like living things, and the next moment they would pierce through her brows and enter the spiritual realm!
This scene made Clara's heart sink suddenly. She finally confirmed Lin En's identity.
He is not only a natural wizard, but also has mastered high-level natural secrets! She knew clearly what Lin En was performing at the moment. It was one of the core skills of natural wizards, and could even be called one of the required secrets of the natural system:
"Live and die together."
This is a very special kind of witchcraft. The caster needs to merge himself with a supernatural plant so that the plant has the dual attributes of a spiritual body and a physical body.
This allows it to penetrate the mental barriers of living beings and enter the deep level of their consciousness.
Unlike ordinary soul-searching techniques which are rough and can easily damage the soul, "Live and Die Together" uses the power of nature as a medium. It can greatly reduce the resistance and rejection of the person being soul-searched, and can even complete the exploration of the soul's memory silently.
The most frightening thing is that in this way, even some memories that are deliberately hidden, sealed, or even protected by contracts can be bypassed and locked, allowing other areas to be thoroughly analyzed!
Clara's breathing suddenly became rapid, her chest heaving violently, and for the first time, real fear appeared in her eyes.
And right in the middle of her forehead, a mark flashing with a faint fluorescent light suddenly appeared, appearing automatically as if a defensive instinct had been activated.
It was a slightly glowing, slender plant, the fluorescent grass, which was the extraordinary plant she had contracted.
With the appearance of this fluorescent grass, although she was still suppressed by Lin En's powerful mental pressure and her limbs could not move, she was finally able to speak.
"I know you are a natural wizard!" She spoke quickly, almost shouting.
"But I am a natural wizard from the East, which is the source of the natural way! Even if you are stronger than me, you can't force extraordinary plants to invade my spiritual realm!"
"If you force it, my spiritual realm will explode and collapse. Not only will you not be able to read any memories, but it will even backfire on you!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin En's eyebrows slightly raised and his eyes narrowed slightly.
These words are not groundless.
As the core area with a high concentration of natural wizards, the eastern region has an extremely complete defense system in the spiritual realm, and naturally has many restraining measures against memory exploration techniques such as "living and dying together".
Just as places where fire wizards gather will develop a large number of methods to control fire, the mental defense techniques of the Eastern natural wizards have long reached an extremely high level.
However, despite Clara's firm words, Lynn's hands did not stop moving.
His expression was calm, and his fingertips turned into plant fibers, continuing to slowly reach towards Clara's brow, trying to forcibly penetrate the defense of the fluorescent grass and enter her spiritual realm.
Clara's fluorescent grass was like a lonely boat swept by a storm, swaying violently, with tiny cracks appearing on its surface, as if it would break in the next second! At the same time, a look of pain appeared on Clara's face, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her lips were trembling slightly.
But Lin En's expression did not change. The plant fibers penetrated the mark of the fluorescent grass one by one, advancing inch by inch.
Finally, when he was about to explore Clara's spiritual core, a dangerous omen suddenly emerged.
Lin En sensed that deep in her consciousness, layer after layer of deeply hidden forbidden techniques were rapidly being activated, and the fluctuations of her soul suddenly became unstable!
The spiritual realm actually has a self-destruct mechanism! Lin En's eyes flashed, and his expression immediately became serious.
There is no doubt that Clara did not lie. Her spiritual world was already on the critical edge. If she went one step deeper, the entire soul realm would most likely explode and collapse.
Not only would she die instantly from soul annihilation, but Lin En herself would also suffer severe mental backlash.
Without hesitation, he withdrew his hand decisively!
The plant fiber that had penetrated deeply into the mark suddenly retracted and then dissipated into bits of spiritual energy like sawdust.
The moment the pressure was gone, Clara seemed to collapse all of a sudden. The look of pain still remained on her face, but her breathing finally returned to normal.
She opened her eyes, filled with fear and complexity.
Lin En frowned slightly, his expression showing a hint of regret. Clara's spiritual realm was like a great treasure to him.
Although Lin En is a natural wizard who has reached the level of a third-level great wizard, his knowledge of natural wizards is not rich, especially his memories of the eastern region.
If Clara's memory could be completely missing, then he would obviously be able to complete this part.
As a result, the opponent's extraordinary plants and spiritual realm have corresponding restraints on the methods of natural wizards, which is a bit troublesome.
Maybe the reason why the Five Star City didn't get any information out of her before was related to the restrictions in her spiritual realm...
