Witch Special
Chapter 28: Night 1 in the Other World starts off well.
Word magic wasn't an orthodox wizarding spell, at least not one taught in the wizarding academy of that wizarding world. Apprentice wizards learned standard spells that had been summarized, standardized, and formalized by their predecessors. In other words, with sufficient magical power, a precise wrist movement, and accurate pronunciation, anyone could cast an effective spell.
But in reality, this situation is too ideal, and only those who have received systematic wand casting education can do this. So, before the establishment of magic academies, how did wizards in ancient times cast spells?
You know, long ago, wizards were powerful beings on par with gods. However, with the passage of time, the power of the mysticism drastically diminished, the gods all disappeared, and even the power of wizards experienced a serious decline.
In that chaotic and ignorant era, everything was filled with randomness, like an unmeasurable unknown. In that era, wizards valued the power of their minds more than establishing standards. And the Word Spirit Magic Lin Zhenxi had just used was a way to maximize the power of idealism.
The specific implementation principle is very complicated and difficult to explain. The profundity of this ancient magic is far beyond the scope of Lin Zhenxi's exploration, and she can only use it.
To put it simply, it's a process of exchanging mana for information through a golden rule. For every mana payment, you receive some simple information feedback.
This seemed to involve something close to the truth, even transcending a single world and permeating the multiverse. Therefore, even in a world like this where the world's will had completely fallen silent, Lin Zhenxi could still use word magic to ask simple questions. However, given that the medium used was just a small wooden stick, one could guess how monotonous and empty the responses she would receive would be.
But after all, Lin Zhenxi only used it to point himself in the direction of progress, and the information it provided was enough.
This kind of word magic was discovered by Lin Zhenxi by chance when he was visiting the ancient magic library in that wizarding world.
In a dusty library, in an ancient book that had been severely corroded by time, Lin Zhenxi discovered this ancient magic.
That magic book actually records a lot of ancient magic. If it is still intact, its value will be immeasurable. It may even be able to reproduce the powerful magic of the Age of Gods.
Unfortunately, the might of time destroyed the precious legacy of knowledge, and the magical aura that protected the grimoire was completely exhausted. Even if magical knowledge itself possessed magical power, this power would gradually fade with the passage of time. Without the protection of magic, like the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, the grimoire was nothing more than a few ancient scraps of paper.
In any case, ninety-nine percent of the magic book Lin Zhenxi found had been completely damaged. Even if Lin Zhenxi used all modern cultural relic preservation methods to restore and extract it, the information he could obtain was quite limited.
Lin Zhenxi collaborated with the world's most famous white wizard, who in turn brought in an old friend, a master alchemist capable of refining the Philosopher's Stone. The three of them painstakingly reconstructed a usable ancient magic from the fragments of an ancient book. This was the Word Spirit Magic that Lin Zhenxi had just used. According to the white wizard, this magic should be classified as a lost form of prophecy magic.
Over the millennia, as the mysteries faded, the wizarding world lost much of its precious magic. In ancient times, the gods roamed the land, and powerful, legendary wizards could even use magic to travel back in time and into the future, freely navigating the vast river of time. But in modern times, foresight has become a rare bloodline gift, granted to descendants of prophets at unspecified times, affording them fleeting glimpses of the future. It's truly sad that such a well-established magic series has been reduced to a privilege reserved for bloodline sorcerers.
The unfortunate part about this magic is its method of expression. After all, you can't expect a wand to grow a mouth and chatter non-stop; that would be like turning it into a spirit. In reality, a wand has only two ways of expressing itself: one is to indicate right or wrong by flickering the fluorescent light on and off at the end of the wand, and the other is to indicate the direction of the tip.
If the accuracy of this magic had not been verified by enough experiments, Lin Zhenxi would not even dare to guarantee whether the tilting of the magic wand was random or was indeed pointing in the correct direction.
Question and answer, pointing, this ancient magic, with its terrifying magic consumption comparable to a killing curse, achieved both of these things with extreme accuracy.
The exact direction was in hand, but as darkness fell, Lin Zhenxi had no intention of flying out of the city. This world was still unfamiliar to her, so she decided to err on the side of caution, settling in the city and leaving at dawn the next day.
The prosperity of a city can be gauged by the development of its catering and accommodation industries. Only when citizens enjoy a prosperous life will they pursue higher goals. If even having enough food and clothing is a struggle, naturally no one will dream of luxurious living or luxurious clothes and delicacies.
Even if you are very rich, if you are surrounded by poor relatives, you cannot show that you are rich, otherwise it will definitely be the beginning of misfortune.
The city under Lin Zhenxi's feet is already one of the most developed major cities in the world. Except for City A, which is obviously not as good as the headquarters of the Hero Association and the World Government, the other major cities are almost on par with each other.
So Lin Zhenxi easily found a more upscale hotel in the city center. Although the price was not cheap, one day's accommodation cost might be equivalent to half a month's salary for the working class, but the money Lin Zhenxi got from selling the gold ingots was enough to support her to enjoy high-end life services.
The level of development of human civilization in this world is still a little lower than that of the main world, but the distance is not far, maybe only between ten to twenty years. Anyway, the furnishings in the hotel are quite good, and there is no objection to Lin Zhenxi bringing a pet.
As the night deepened, colorful neon lights gradually lit up outside the round window of the hotel room, and the sky also changed colors like a rainbow.
After taking a shower, Lin Zhenxi sat on the windowsill of the round window in an open bathrobe, looking at the colorful night view outside, and occasionally stroking the little black cat Tuanzi in her arms.
On her first day in this world, she had her identity document and money ready, which was a good start. Unfortunately, she hadn't had time to come into close contact with the supernatural powers of this world, nor had she had time to interact with its official institutions. These were things she would do once she landed safely in this world.
Yanyan snored and turned over under Lin Zhenxi's hand, wrapping her tail around Lin Zhenxi's hand and letting her stroke the hair on her hind legs.
Lin Zhenxi was still a little absent-minded. Although his eyes were looking out the window, his thoughts had already flown to a very far place.
This world seems to have no magic, but there are many black technologies invented by crazy scientists that are completely out of touch with the normal technology tree. But it doesn't matter. No matter how black the technology is, as long as it can be explained by science, there will be no mysterious blessing. Without mysterious protection, there is no resistance to magic. Any magic cast by Lin Zhenxi will deal full damage. As long as the enemy is not defenseless and not completely invulnerable, there will be no enemy that is impossible to defeat. Therefore, in this world, Lin Zhenxi fears not those enemies with high individual energy levels, but those whose huge size makes it difficult to deal with. After all, the magic she masters is mainly used to deal with humans or creatures of similar size. The imaginary enemy is at most a giant monster or a flying dragon, and its body length will never exceed fifty meters. The giant she encountered today, standing taller than the clouds, really scared her.
It's not that Lin Zhenxi despises the tech side; it's simply that each has its strengths. Tech and magic each have their own areas of expertise, and Lin Zhenxi's magic simply happens to be the most advantageous in this world. After all, she possesses numerous spells that counter tech side weapons, whether they're power weapons or energy weapons. Tech side warriors are powerless against her spells. Even the simplest curse can cripple a top-ranked hero. What else could that be if not an advantage?
In this world, purely technological heroes or weirdos, as well as martial artists who specialize in martial arts to strengthen their bodies, should not be able to resist the effects of the curse, but there is a type of people that Lin Zhenxi has to pay attention to, and that is the "telekinetic" psychic users.
Technology is materialistic, magic is idealistic. While both ultimately lead to godhood, at least at Lin Zhenxi's level, they remain almost parallel, seemingly intersecting. However, telekinesis, likewise, emanates from the very heart. If there are any who can resist or even be immune to Lin Zhenxi's spell, it must be the heroes and eccentrics who master telekinesis. They are also the targets that Lin Zhenxi needs to focus on.
Without the help of the Hero Association, it would be difficult to obtain information about monsters. With the idea of collecting information about the heroes first, Lin Zhenxi opened the brochure about celebrity superheroes that was placed in a prominent position on the hotel's bookshelf.
Well, it was officially published by the Hero Association, probably to increase the popularity of superheroes.
Turning to the second page, the second S-class hero is "Tornado of Thrill", the world's most powerful "telekinetic" psychic.
