Chapter 73 Persistence (First Update)
Chapter 73
[Landscape] was successfully opened, but all of this was classified as taboo, and the apprentices and wizards knew nothing about it.
They only knew that the strange and bizarre witchcraft formation that enveloped the Cuidao Forest was finally broken.
The master of the furnace teleported the entire furnace here, and with the furnace's powerful and terrifying power, destroyed the witchcraft mark from the foundation! As the formation was broken, the morale of the furnace army was greatly boosted, and the fighting spirit was like a tide.
Many people had red eyes and rushed into the Cuidao Forest impatiently, hoping to earn military merits by fighting to the death.
However, not everyone was excited. Some people felt deeply fearful despite the excitement.
"If the outer formations are so terrifying, what kind of hell is deeper inside?"
Such thoughts have arisen in the minds of many people.
There are quite a few people who want to quit.
Previously, they were unable to evacuate because they were too far away from the furnace and had no choice but to stay on the front line.
But now, the furnace was within reach, and those timid people retreated into the furnace without hesitation.
The return of these people made the furnace, which had been depressed for a long time, lively again.
And with their return, the true scene of the Green Island Forest is more intuitively presented to everyone.
Originally, the logistics personnel in the Crucible could only rely on indirect intelligence to understand the battle situation, but the news brought back by eyewitnesses was undoubtedly more shocking.
The Great Forest of Cuidao is simply a ruthless meat grinder.
No matter whether you are an apprentice or a formal wizard, nine out of ten times you will die once you enter.
Even if they managed to survive, almost no one was intact, and most people returned to the furnace with fatal injuries.
Thanks to the "thoughtful after-sales service" provided by the furnace, those who lost their limbs were repaired with "usable" bodies - through sewing and splicing.
But all this makes the cruelty of the battlefield more vivid.
When wizards who have been patched up like puppets stand in front of you, the visual impact is shocking and direct.
The cruelty of war needs no words; it is suffocating enough.
Lynn originally planned to go to the potion garden to learn about the cruelty of war from the survivors.
But as soon as he stepped into the garden, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure appear before him.
"Yes...Sonia?"
Lin En stopped, his eyes solemn, his heart full of doubts.
He instinctively didn't dare to move forward, and even suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Sonya, the name that came to his mind was a pretty and attractive woman.
Although she was not absolutely beautiful or stunning, she was at least beautiful and somewhat attractive. However, the person in front of her was completely different from the Sonya in her memory.
The familiar face was still recognizable, but the skin was covered with hideous scars.
Even the skin color is not uniform, as if the skin of different people was spliced and stitched together, giving off a weird sense of incongruity.
Before Lin En could open his mouth to ask, the figure had already noticed him.
The other person's eyes fixed, as if recognizing him, and then waved his hand, with a look of joy of reunion after a long separation on his face, and said softly: "Lin En, it's great that you are still alive."
Lin En was stunned, his eyes fell on the other party's waving hand, and then he found that it was not a smooth and jade-like female hand, but a prosthetic limb made of some unknown material.
As for the other party's inquiries, this has become a "normal" phenomenon in the furnace.
In fact, the most popular way of greeting here nowadays is often like this - "You are still alive, that's great. But... your face is a little strange, I need to get used to it."
The cruelty of war has long made living a luxury.
Even if it is incomplete, as long as you can get a "usable" body, you are lucky.
Lin En looked at the gradually approaching figure and finally confirmed that the other person was the Sonya in his memory.
Although his appearance is no longer as good as before, his familiar demeanor and temperament remain unchanged.
"Long time no see, Sonya, the Potion Garden welcomes you back."
Lin En opened his mouth, but in the end he could only utter this simple sentence.
However, Sonya's answer surprised him greatly.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She just shook her head and said in a relaxed but firm tone:
"I just came back to sell some points. I have to go back to the front line later."
Lynn was stunned when he heard this, his eyes swept over Sonya's body covered with scars and sutures, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He almost thought that the opponent's head was severely damaged on the battlefield and something went wrong during the repair.
His whole body was repaired like this, enough to witness the danger of war, but he still wanted to return to the battlefield? As if seeing Lin's doubts, Sonya chuckled, a glimmer of persistence and madness flashed in her eyes, and said: "War is our opportunity, don't miss it. If you still want to become a formal wizard and experience the beauty and miracles of that field, you must seize every opportunity."
She raised the prosthetic limb and waved it, her tone carrying a hint of indifference and relief: "The mortal body is nothing but a mundane thing. After becoming a formal wizard, repairing and changing the body will be a piece of cake."
There is some truth in this.
In fact, for most wizards, the body is far less important than the spirit and soul.
Except for a few beauty-loving female wizards, bloodline wizards who focus on physical research, or some wizards who have special needs for physical transformation, most official wizards do not care about their appearance.
Some wizards even go the other way and completely abandon their physical bodies, existing as pure souls, opening up a completely different path of wizard practice.
In the Crucible force where Lin En is located, this phenomenon is even more common.
This is the territory of dark wizards, and most wizards focus on dark research areas.
Therefore, their appearance - if it can still be called "appearance" - is often not flattering.
It cannot be said that they are ugly. To be precise, their appearance is more like the word "horrible".
Maybe it's a deformed fusion, maybe it's a weird splicing, in short, their images are often chilling.
However, in the wizarding world, beauty and ugliness are never judged by the three ethical views of mortals.
The only standard for wizards to measure beauty and ugliness is strength! Lin En saw the persistence and madness in Sonya's eyes. In the end, he didn't say much. He just sighed and whispered, "It's a pity that there is still no news about Colin... I hope he can be safe."
Before he finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Sonia, can you tell me about the follow-up of the war? Since the breakout of Nightshade Bunker, I sent the news of the defeat back to other fronts and was urgently taken back to the Crucible. Until now, I have not been able to find out what happened outside."
