Witch Special

Just when Beladil was falling into deep despair in the tent arranged for her by Gragul, which was called a "wedding room" but was actually a prison, Lin Zhenxi's sudden voice was like a meteor streaking through the night sky. Although it was only a brief moment, it represented the light of hope.

"Hey, hey, hey, Belladir, can you hear me?" Before speaking, Lin Zhenxi took a look at the members of the Canine Mercenary Group who were responsible for guarding Belladir outside the tent, and found that they had run to the iron shed not far away to play dice, so he spoke to Belladir unscrupulously in a normal volume.

Perhaps the kobolds simply didn't think Beladir would dare escape; their guarding of her was merely a symbolic gesture. Furthermore, Beladir would soon become Gragul's wife, so these minions wouldn't dare treat her too harshly. As long as she didn't escape, her actions would be unrestricted.

"Yes!! Lin Zhenxi, I can hear you." Beladil didn't think at all. She responded loudly and directly, like a drowning person who had grabbed the last straw.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Although you don't have to worry about those gnolls outside hearing you if you speak normally, it may be a different story if you keep shouting." Lin Zhenxi stared at the gnolls on the screen who seemed not to notice the movement in the tent, and showed no mercy to Beladil, who was already in a very bad situation.

"Ah..." Beladir was frightened by Lin Zhenxi's words. She also realized how dangerous her behavior was. If she attracted the guards outside the door, she would have no way to fool them except to pretend to be crazy.

"Don't worry, they are playing dice and have no time to pay attention to you. Without further ado, I think you know how bad your situation is. In this case, although it feels a bit redundant, I still want to ask, do you have any other ideas besides mine?" Maybe the three sisters still have some cards that they haven't played, so Lin Zhenxi asked kindly.

Then Beladil shook his head like a rattle, and the two big ears on his head also drew arcs in the air.

"No, if you don't help me, Lin Zhenxi, then we are really finished."

"I feel the same way. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a passive situation. Okay, let's follow my plan. Have you already decided on a wedding venue? I'll set up magic traps and ambushes there, and then capture the members of the Dog Fang Mercenary Group and the Xiuxiu Sect in one fell swoop. Is there anything else you need to add?"

"Lin Zhenxi..." Beladil looked a little hesitant, but she still spoke, "Gragul is too powerful, and the Xiaxiu Sect behind it is the strongest magic organization in the demon world. If you rely on yourself, you might..."

"Haha, you're still worried about me even in this situation? Beladir, you're such a nice person. No wonder Gracchus chose you instead of your two sisters. They don't have such a good personality."

After being praised by Lin Zhenxi, Beladil lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and didn't care whether Lin Zhenxi was watching him or not.

In fact, Lin Zhenxi's invisible Eye of Truth had indeed sneaked into the tent, and was now only an arm's length away from Beladil. However, the effect of the invisibility spell improved by Lin Zhenxi was so incredible that even though it was so close, Beladil did not even see something floating in front of him.

Lin Zhenxi continued, "Don't worry about my affairs. If I can't win, I will just run away. No one can stop me. But no matter whether I succeed or not, you may suffer retaliation from the Xiaxiu faction afterwards. You should pay attention to this."

Beladir gave a wry smile and said, "The situation couldn't be worse. Whether we fall into the hands of the Kashifs or Gracchus, we won't survive. Perhaps this is our end."

There was no other way. From the moment the magic ore appeared in the Orc Canyon, the Orcs and Aliens near the Orc Canyon were doomed to a tragic fate. They simply had no ability to protect this gift from nature and would only be crushed by other more powerful forces.

"Well, live one day at a time. I feel the same way. Maybe a turning point will appear unexpectedly. As long as you are still alive, don't give up."

"Thank you... Lin Zhenxi, why are you willing to help us? We really have no way to repay you."

This question had been lingering in Belladir's mind for a long time, but she had never had the chance to ask. She simply couldn't understand Lin Zhenxi's good intentions. He had even said that mining the magic ore wouldn't involve the Orcs and the Alien Tribes, so what was Lin Zhenxi's real purpose?

This question is a bit difficult to answer, because Lin Zhenxi was just being kind and couldn't bear to see Beladir being ruined by Gracchus, who was completely different from her style. The reason is probably similar to rescuing a kitten trapped in a tree.

"Uh... why? If you really want to explain, then just assume that I'm also interested in the legends of your Alien Tribe. If you want to express your gratitude, then you should quickly become one of those Transcendents and open my eyes."

Beladil, unsurprisingly, wore a distressed expression. Their current situation could be said to have been caused by this legend. If Gragul hadn't believed that the three sisters could become transcendents, they wouldn't have had any contact with Gragul. Hearing that Lin Zhenxi was also interested in this matter, she immediately thought of Gragul.

"Alright, there's no need to talk about that anymore. Tell me where you're planning to hold your wedding. I'll go set it up." After receiving an accurate response, Lin Zhenxi ended the conversation. Meanwhile, the worry in Beladil's eyes seemed to have dissipated considerably.

At least, there was no longer endless darkness before her eyes, right?

Considering that there were two members of the Xiu Sect who mastered magic in the Orc Canyon, Lin Zhenxi put more thought into setting the trap. Especially Da Ke'er, although she gave Lin Zhenxi a silly impression, her mastery of barrier magic forced Lin Zhenxi to pay attention to her.

To be honest, if it weren't for Daker, Lin Zhenxi might have really used a magic trap to take care of all the members of the Canine Mercenary Group at the wedding, but that kind of powerful magic trap itself is a kind of barrier magic. Lin Zhenxi had to consider the risk of being discovered in advance by Daker, who was proficient in barrier magic, and could only choose other less efficient ways to set up the magic trap.

The triggered magic trap must be encapsulated with barrier magic, which is the most difficult part. If barrier magic is not used, Lin Zhenxi will not be able to keep the magic in a state where it can be activated at any time. If it is activated on the spot, the magic fluctuations will be very obvious and cannot be hidden at all, and the purpose of a surprise attack will not be achieved.

After much deliberation, Lin Zhenxi felt that barrier magic was still the preferred method for creating magic traps. So, was there any way to prevent Da Ke'er from noticing the presence of barrier magic at the wedding?

Lin Zhenxi came up with the idea of ​​a mobile barrier. If she encapsulated the magic trap inside the barrier and then hung the barrier on something that could move, she could set the magic trap in advance from a distance. As long as the objects carrying the barrier rushed forward quickly enough, it would also prevent the enemies at the wedding from reacting.

This strategy was based on Lin Zhenxi's conviction that Da Ke'er's perception wasn't sharp. She'd been strolling around the mines daily, yet she'd been oblivious to Lin Zhenxi's movements underground, suggesting her perception was likely quite dull. If that was the case, Lin Zhenxi could simply place the magic trap a little further away, and Da Ke'er wouldn't be able to detect it.

So, what is used to carry these enchantments that encapsulate magical traps?

Of course it’s the Gray Jaguar. Among all the familiars under Lin Zhenxi, they have the fastest flying speed.

But soon, Lin Zhenxi realized that his idea was too optimistic, because the chocolate gray jays were too small and their carrying capacity was quite limited. Even if the barriers that encapsulated the magic traps were not heavy, the gray jays could not carry those magic traps that were several times larger than them.

So Lin Zhenxi needs a larger familiar.

But later, Lin Zhenxi chose a more clever way to solve this difficulty, which was to use the magnification spell on the gray bird.

The enlarged Gray Jade Bird's flight speed decreased slightly, but it was still as fast as an arrow. After the increase in magic power supply, the strength of these enlarged Gray Jade Birds also increased, and they could fly effortlessly while dragging those fist-sized magic barriers.

Unfortunately, as the size of the bird increases, its stealth ability is lost, and its wings make a sharp sound when flapping. Fortunately, the bird itself is fast enough. If it attacks from above, the people below will probably only have one or two seconds to react.

Nothing is perfect, this result is ideal enough, so let's leave it as it is.

Next, Lin Zhenxi prepared some magic traps. Considering that Daker might have the ability to break the barrier magic, Lin Zhenxi chose some field-type magic, which cannot be broken once activated. Although the effect is not as direct as the barrier magic, as long as the number is large enough, the effect should not be bad.

So now, the stage is set, and it's time for the actors to take the stage.
