Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi had not yet realized how big a sensation her behavior had caused. Now she was standing on the terrace with the best view in the magic tower, overlooking the increasingly smaller ground below, enjoying this unique scenery that others could not see.

Being suspended in the air is only the first step, or even just a small one, after a magic tower becomes a floating city. A true floating city is far more than just being suspended in the air. In other words, being suspended is only the most basic function, just like concrete buildings require steel bars to be embedded before pouring the concrete. It is the most basic of the basics, and not having it is the biggest mistake.

When the magic tower becomes a suspended city with the ability to move, it is no longer just a simple magic position that can only be used for defense, but begins to transform into a floating castle with more powerful functions.

Simply put, the magic tower in the past was fixed in one place. Although the magician hiding inside was safe, he could only be attacked by others. Even if he controlled the self-defense weapons to fight back, if the enemy saw the situation was not good and ran away directly, as long as they were beyond the range of the self-defense weapons, the magician hiding in the magic tower could only stare blankly, and had no good way to deal with the enemy who had already run away.

But the floating castle was different. It was mobile and could fly high, far beyond the enemy's reach, from which it could unleash a barrage of fire on enemy targets below. A weapon originally designed for defense, with its firing angles greatly expanded, had become a terrifying offensive weapon.

The best defense is always offense. Instead of waiting for others to attack you, it is better to eliminate the enemy first.

Moreover, the floating castle is only the initial stage of the suspended city. The floating castle at this stage will pose a great strategic deterrent to the civilization on the ground below. Basically, one floating castle can suppress an area, but it can still only operate on the surface of the planet.

If the floating castle's functions are further improved, and it is given the ability to control the atmosphere and self-circulate the ecosystem, it can then leave the planet and travel into space. At this stage, the floating city has evolved from a floating castle to the next stage, a space fortress.

By the time a space fortress reaches this stage, it essentially becomes the master of the planet. Orbiting a planet, a space fortress can deliver devastating strikes to any point on the planet's surface. No resistance can withstand the terrifying firepower capable of reshaping a planet. At this stage, a floating city no longer lacks offensive capabilities; its weakness becomes mobility. Or, in other words, mobility in space.

If one continues to climb the technology tree and develops the incredible power of space jumps and dimensional teleportation, the Star Fortress will evolve into the ultimate form of a floating city: the Dimensional Fortress. At this stage, the floating city is essentially a world unto itself, and the magician himself is the creator of this small world, the Creator God, who can modify the rules of this world at will.

To be on par with gods in human form is the ultimate ideal and lifelong goal of every magician.

Lin Zhenxi's understanding of this knowledge, which was still so far away from her, was so clear because she had actually seen a high-level floating city, not just a space fortress, but even a dimensional fortress. Although that dimensional fortress was already crumbling and eventually fell into the imaginary space, Lin Zhenxi was still deeply obsessed with the magical technology behind it.

Unfortunately, her power was too limited, and she was powerless to reverse anything. She could only watch the tragedy unfold before her eyes. Even if she were to be in the same situation now, she wouldn't be able to stop the "Garden of Time" from sliding towards "Alhazard," the birthplace of the ancient civilization that had most likely been swallowed by the imaginary space.

Standing before the view overlooking the land, Lin Zhenxi recalled the events of her past, once again clearly feeling the traces of time passing by her. Although her appearance had not changed, her current calm state of mind was completely different from the chaotic state she had been in then.

Moreover, there is no point in imagining such a distant future now. After all, Lin Zhenxi's magic tower has just taken off, and even its only offensive weapon is a magic cannon fired from the top of the tower.

During the Magic Tower phase, having just one powerful weapon was enough, just like a lighthouse only needed a bright enough searchlight on top to accomplish its mission. But now that the Magic Tower had become a floating city, that one weapon was no longer enough.

The power of the magic cannon is sufficient. After all, it is the product of a certain degree of combination of magic and science. Magic is used to provide convenient energy, and physical methods are used to ensure that its power has almost no upper limit as long as the speed continues to increase. It is fully qualified to become the main attack weapon of the floating city.

But a warship certainly couldn't just have a main gun and be barren. It needed anti-aircraft weapons, anti-submarine weapons, radar for detecting enemies, and even a protective net of spikes to prevent enemy boarding. For the floating city, these would require close-in anti-aircraft weapons, ground-based area fire coverage weapons, observation towers, as well as the floating city's surface magic barriers and the interior magic traps and automated security magic golems.

With the change of environment, the facilities in the magic tower stage are basically no longer practical. Except for the magic cannon, Lin Zhenxi needs to redo everything else.

Here, the lookout tower Lin Maki can find inspiration from the Glass Altar and the wide-area search technique. The guard air defense can refer to something called the spell card system in her great teacher's world. The area coverage firepower and magic barrier can refer to the Midzilda-style magic system in the world of the Heart of the Rising Sun.

As for magic traps and magic puppets, these two are basic skills. Lin Zhenxi does not need to rely on others, she can handle it by herself. Of course, the effect may be worse than the previous ones. After all, those are mature and complete systems. Only these two are figured out by Lin Zhenxi herself.

Regardless of whether it is easy or difficult, their project progress is still zero. Lin Zhenxi needs to continue to invest a lot of time in these projects in order to perfect the floating city which is now almost a blank slate.

Mentally calculating the workload of these projects and how much time she would need to devote to them, Lin Zhenxi suddenly lost the mood to continue lying on the terrace and enjoying the scenery. She didn't have time to slack off; she had to get to work!

Once she actually reached the sky and floated for a while, Lin Zhenxi realized she'd probably given too much time for preparation. What she truly needed was the Magic Tower, a place where she could be assured of her safety in this world. As for granting the Magic Tower the ability to move and upgrading it to a floating city, she didn't actually need that at the moment.

After all, even if the Hanging City could now travel anywhere, where could she move her hometown to? In other words, wouldn't any place in this world be the same to her? So, why bother moving?

Moreover, after taking flight, Lin Zhenxi realized that his energy wasn't as abundant as he'd imagined. Without the support of the earth veins' magic power, the magic power generated by the laser fusion reactor alone was barely enough to keep the floating city afloat, barely maintaining a fragile balance where output slightly exceeded expenditure. The speed at which the magic essence condensed was 90 percent lower than when supported by the earth veins.

Magic essence is Lin Zhenxi's strategic reserve, and it can even be put into a space cube and carried with him. The importance of the glittering thick liquid in the magic pool is not even less than that of Lin Zhenxi's magic tower. Seeing that the speed of magic essence production has slowed down, Lin Zhenxi felt very uncomfortable.

Never mind, she couldn't afford the Hanging City thing, so she decided to just go back and continue being a potted plant. Earth veins, earth veins, I'm back.

Lin Zhenxi returned to the control console and flew the Floating City back to its original location. However, before she landed, she discovered that things were a bit troublesome because other people had appeared around the 1,500-meter-deep pit.

No matter who it is, he is definitely a troublemaker!

Because of the invisibility spell, the workers below didn't notice the massive, three-kilometer-long, spindle-shaped object descending upon them. They were still fiddling with various devices at the edge of the pit, apparently measuring its contents. The area surrounding the pit was bustling with activity, resembling a construction site.

"Good fellow, I just went out for a stroll and you guys robbed my house?" Lin Zhenxi was dumbfounded.

At this time, because it was close to the ground, Lin Zhenxi's phone finally received a signal again. It began to ding-dong in Lin Zhenxi's pocket, and various missed calls and unread text messages popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain. Just looking at the constantly refreshing numbers on the screen made Lin Zhenxi feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

She finally realized the huge impact her big move had on the natives of this world. How could she deal with this?

After a moment's headache, Lin Zhenxi decided to solve the problem in front of her first. The most urgent task now was to quickly insert the magic tower back into the pit and re-establish connection with the earth vein. To do this, she needed to first eliminate those who were fiddling with the equipment around the pit.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhenxi pulled out the wand from the bracelet and cast a Muggle Dispelling Spell at the crowd below.

This spell was the key to the wizards' ultimate victory in the witch hunt and the ultimate weapon against Muggles. In the dark and cruel Middle Ages, this spell played a crucial role in enabling a minority of wizards to completely make the vast majority of Muggles forget the existence of wizards.

Its function is to exert a strong psychological suggestion on the Muggles, making them think that they have other urgent things to do and quickly leave the current area.

Although in modern society, big data analysis can easily detect anomalies, collective bias is absolutely impossible unless they are all under some mysterious influence or hypnosis. But at least for now, Lin Zhenxi's goal of clearing the area has been achieved. Next, all he needs to do is re-apply the Fidelius Charm, and the Muggles will never find this place again.

If we can't even find the specific place, then how to explain it depends entirely on Lin Zhenxi's mood.
