Standing on the edge of the woods, looking at the castle not far away, the magician whose apprentice was captured was silent. Cars and horses were constantly coming in and out of the open city gate, and soldiers were watching every few steps on the city wall. There are even trebuchet towers placed at certain distances.
For a viscount, such a castle is considered an extraordinary layout. All signs point to one thing, the owner here is very rich; perhaps also very powerful. Because in an aristocratic society that pays great attention to class, being able to have such financial resources without being swallowed up by the superior nobles either has an extraordinary origin or has a strong backing.
The lich took a step slower to follow, not concealing the sound of his footsteps at all. She stood next to Lin, looked in the same direction, and asked, "What are your plans?"
Just before he wanted to answer, Lin turned his head to look at a certain lich, but was stunned for a moment. "Well, are you going to attend the big farewell ceremony?"
It can be said that Fen wears all the possessions she has. Weapons such as four magic guns, machetes, and ship-cutting knives need not be mentioned in particular. Riding boots, a cloak, a large-brimmed pointed wizard hat, and the black cheongsam she wore underneath. The combination of several completely different styles of painting turned out to be indescribably sexy.
Especially the seemingly plain-colored magic equipment is actually composed of countless ant-sized secret patterns arranged in an array. It combines the knowledge of programming languages and the magic tower construction technology learned from someone, using different magics together without interfering with each other - in fact, it is the design method of circuit boards -. According to her, this is even more luxurious than when she was the Demon King in her prime.
It is quite rare for a fully armed lich to ignore the ridicule in someone's words and asked again: "How are you going to save people?"
"Well, walk in, find someone, and leave."
…
Fen rolled her eyes at someone, as if to say that even if she asked a pig, the pig would give a better answer.
After giving up questioning, Fen pulled out the two guns from his waist and walked out of the forest, appearing menacingly in the sight of the defenders, which naturally brought chaos to the alert castle. Everyone outside the city rushed into the city, and there was a commotion on the city wall. Countless soldiers ran and arranged behind every battlement.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Someone who hurriedly followed called the Lich who was walking in front and said, "I promised others not to kill anyone. You just walked over like this, even if you didn't plan on it at the beginning. Take action, and finally I was forced to take action."
Fen, who stopped, did not look back, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "You said it yourself, go in and find someone. What's more, you are the only one who promised not to kill, and I didn't agree to that kind of thing."
"I agreed, I just agreed. It's not fun at all to play this kind of game where I agree but you don't." Seeing a certain lich glaring over, Lin hurriedly changed his words, "-Of course, I I can’t promise anything on your behalf. But there is a simpler solution to the matter, so there’s no need to make it so complicated.”
"What's a simple method?"
“Go in and find people.”
..."How is this different from what I just said?"
"Well, it seems that there is really no difference. But the process, the process is definitely different. And the core thinking of your actions and mine is definitely different."
"What's the difference?"
"I just want to save people. Anyone who gets in the way just needs to stop getting in the way. And although you also want to save people, you seem to be planning to send all the people who get in the way to hell so that they can no longer get in the way. . This is the difference between you and me. And you rush ahead and get in my way, which is very disturbing."
"speak English!"
Seeing that a certain lich had not activated the ship-cutting knife in his hand, but it was already raised high, ready to hit someone on the head. Lin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let's see what I do first, and then you decide what to do."
Before the two of them could reach a consensus on their actions, several powerful arrows had already hit the surrounding ground, making a clanging sound. There was even one that accurately hit someone's head, but just before the attack, the flash technique was activated and the arrow was thrown to an unknown place.
In fact, the two of them are still quite far away from the castle. The one who can shoot the arrow to their position needs not only a good bow, but also good arm strength. One arrow even almost hit someone. It seems that there are still talents in the city.
Putting the ship-cutting knife back on his back, Fen took a step or two back, waiting to see someone make a move.
Maybe the people on the other side also discovered that ordinary bows and arrows posed no threat to the two magicians at such a distance. So even though they could shoot accurately, the other side didn't fire a second arrow.
"Watch." Lin was facing the castle, gesturing with his hands one after another, as if he was measuring something. Suddenly he stretched his right hand forward, snapped his fingers, and said: "Let's go!" The gate of Viscount Bachmann's castle disappeared.
Strictly speaking, there is still a little arc-shaped remnant at the base of the city gate. And this arc extends to the wall, including the surrounding buildings and the ground. It looks like the space of a sphere disappears.
Lin heaved a sigh of relief, shook his hands, and said, "It doesn't feel as troublesome as I imagined."
Not only the people in the city, but also the defenders on the city wall were panicked. Even Fen behind him showed a surprised expression and said: "This...is the extra-dimensional exile technique? Doesn't this count as killing?"
"Of course. Has anyone died in front of you? They have a chance to survive in other places, and they might even get adventures, great martial arts, etc."
Fen pouted and said bitterly: "Yes, you are so kind-hearted. I really want to know who the person who is playing word games is."
After having the first experience and confirming that it is feasible, the next steps will be quite simple for someone. With a wave of his hand, the space spheres disappeared one after another, like an invisible giant beast, chewing holes into the walls on both sides. Even those trebuchet towers that looked very threatening disappeared completely before they could even fire a single stone bomb.
Lin said: "This is not the case when we encountered a large-scale war a while ago. The extra-dimensional exile technique was useless, so I have been thinking about ways to improve it."
"Are you referring to locating an individual other than 'me'?" Fen, who instantly returned to his scientific research state, pointedly pointed out the biggest flaw in the use of flash.
As a demon king who once ruled an era and a lich with the most advanced magical knowledge, Fen is not like someone who can cast a variant of the flash spell - the extra-dimensional exile spell. The biggest reason is that he cannot locate anyone other than himself. The target being teleported.
This involves the transformation of the coordinate system, which requires the most calculations, the shift of the origin. Once the origin is changed, the coordinates of almost everything need to be redefined. Contains distance, angle, etc. Although you can use the original origin, which is your own position, to perform triangulation and obtain more accurate results, the relevant calculations must be completed in an instant, which is a computational obstacle that Fen has not been able to break through until now.
Although Lin had been able to do this before and cast the interdimensional exile technique, there were still limitations in its use. If the target moves too fast, it may escape his grasp, just like Sputnik 1 that fell from the sky.
Continuously using the extra-dimensional banishment technique is not as easy as flashing oneself continuously. There is a certain interval. When there are few opponents, this interval can be ignored; but when there are a large number of enemies and they may pose a threat in a very short time, instead of using the extra-dimensional exile technique to throw the enemies one by one into an unknown place, it is better to do it yourself Flash, jump out of the ring to catch your breath.
Secondly, only 'one' object can be exiled at a time. This object can be a state in which several things are bundled together, but as long as they are separated from each other, a 'group' of objects cannot be expelled in one go. To put it simply, for attacks like 'Rain of Arrows', the interdimensional banishment technique cannot be considered a good defensive method.
If you are alone, you can choose to flash out of the range covered by the arrow rain. But what if someone else is there? To flash away with someone other than yourself is a huge drain on someone. So if you want to throw away all the arrows that may hit your side, what is the maximum number that you can do in a very short time? Lin has not yet figured out a reason for these problems.
Various problems that were exceptions to the original design plan made someone constantly think about solutions. Finally got some results. "To put it simply, don't consider transferring the coordinate system. Instead, change the calculation method from the original relative coordinate system to a calculation method similar to the absolute coordinate system. To do this, you must be aware of all the changes around you. Accurate grasp.”
During the academic discussion with the lich, the two strolled towards the castle. And all moving people, dogs, and horses will be ruthlessly banished by someone as soon as they appear in the field of vision. If there are too many people, the entire spherical space will be exiled.
After trying it against the enemy several times, Lin complained: "Although it is much faster to define a center of the sphere and then use the radius to define the range, it is still difficult to grasp where the boundary is."
"Be content. If I had this ability back then, I would have spent the whole day looking for ways to stare at the old gods, chasing after them fiercely, and being so jealous that I would kill anyone who got in the way." Fen saw someone holding a crossbow coming from the fortress. Rushed out. As soon as she raised the gun, the person disappeared... which made her want to hit the head of the person next to her with the handle of the gun.
It was just that someone was thinking seriously and didn't even look at the direction in which the person was running out. Such an attitude made the Lich helpless. As he said, if you walk in and find someone, there won't be any unnecessary trouble.
"Seriously speaking, the extra-dimensional banishment technique is just to move the annoying person away from your eyes. If the hatred is really deep, you will choose to tear the other party into pieces with your own hands, break every inch of bone, and shed the last drop of blood. "Watching Sai Fang take his last breath with your own eyes, or should you just hide him from sight?" Someone casually agreed with the Lich's words, although it sounded like he was trying to make trouble.
