Witch Special

Chapter 480: Unveiling the coffin

Lin Zhenxi controlled the Eye of Truth and drilled into the hole in the outer wall of the church, bypassing obstacles such as beams, and observing the situation inside the church from above.

Although the church looks basically intact from the outside, its interior is still decayed. The wooden benches are now just a pile of rotten wood. The statues placed deep in the church have been corroded beyond recognition. Not to mention seeing their appearance, even maintaining their human form is very difficult.

However, in such a bad environment, a new-looking coffin was placed in the middle of the church, which seemed too abrupt.

The coffin was Western-style, a hexagon with a flat lid and a cross painted on it. Because the Night Vision True Eye couldn't discern color, Lin Zhenxi couldn't tell whether the coffin was black or red, but that didn't matter anymore.

Now Lin Zhenxi planned to make some noise to see what was inside the coffin. It just so happened that Lin Zhenxi had previously developed a magic that used the Eye of Truth as a medium to exert magical influence over a distance through the Water Mirror Technique, and now it was just right for her to use it.

Lin Zhenxi began to create abnormal magical fluctuations next to the coffin. Because there was no corresponding magical mechanism, this was the biggest noise she could make.

Well, for those sensitive to magic, it's probably like someone banging on your door while you're asleep. While they won't break in, it's still annoying. Lin Zhenxi couldn't believe anyone could sleep with such a commotion around them. Anyone who wasn't empty inside a coffin, or a stone inert to magic (a level below a Muggle, completely insensitive to magic), would probably be woken.

Generating magic fluctuations at such a distance consumes a significant amount of mana, and the energy efficiency ratio is devastatingly low, almost as high as the ratio of the rocket's total weight to the payload it can send into orbit. Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi had a plentiful supply of magic in her safe house; otherwise, generating magic fluctuations so frequently would have been a difficult task.

Under Lin Zhenxi's persistent harassment, the coffin finally stirred. Under Lin Zhenxi's expectant gaze, the coffin lid trembled a few times before being forcefully pushed open from the inside. As the lid opened, a disheveled woman sat up from within, looking around blankly.

This woman was dressed well, and the style was actually a very figure-flattering leather jacket. Judging from her face, she looked no different from a human. It was unclear whether she was a completely different species from the monsters outside, or if she was just an evolved form of those monsters.

The woman looked around, and Lin Zhenxi could see the confusion on her face. She didn't know whether she was wondering why she woke up or if she had forgotten who she was.

But soon, Lin Zhenxi noticed that her eyes were locked on the top of her head, as if she were staring back at him through the Water Mirror Technique. Of course, that was impossible; at least, Lin Zhenxi didn't think she had that ability. But she should be able to sense the Eye of Truth. After all, the Eye of Truth's invisibility was only visual, and magical fluctuations would still be noticeable. Even if these magical fluctuations were small, those sensitive to them would still be able to detect an abnormality.

The woman in the coffin was awakened by the magic fluctuations created by Lin Zhenxi. The first thing she did after waking up was to look for the source of the magic fluctuations. After looking around, it didn't seem difficult for her to find the Eye of Truth.

Lin Zhenxi immediately raised the height of the Eye of Truth to prevent it from being attacked, or at least to increase the difficulty of being attacked.

The woman's eyes were always following the movement of the Eye of Truth, but surprisingly she did not attack it directly. It was unclear whether she didn't want to or simply couldn't reach it.

However, Lin Zhenxi's goal had been achieved. She had already discovered the monster's lair and the leader within it, so it was time to retreat. This night-vision Eye of Truth was difficult to create, and Lin Zhenxi didn't want to waste it here, so she controlled the Eye of Truth to fly out of the gap in the church wall and return to the subway tunnel through the subway entrance.

So she didn't see the woman in the coffin climb out and begin to follow the Eye of Truth's path, heading towards the subway entrance. Upon seeing this woman, the terrifying monsters immediately gave way, falling to their knees and trembling as if they had seen their natural enemy. The woman completely ignored the surrounding monsters, her target clear: the Eye of Truth that had awakened her from her slumber.

After giving the Eye of Truth an order to return to the subway tunnel and lurk in its own pit, Lin Zhenxi returned to his original research, which was to improve the seeds of those demonic flowers that could bear fruit.

Anyway, Noelni also has her contact information, so if anything happens, she can just contact her directly. With Noelni watching over her, Lin Zhenxi doesn't need to check the situation on the ground every day. She can concentrate on doing some research work.

Since I have promised Noelni to improve the diet of the residents in the Orc Canyon, simply eating magic bread and magic water is definitely not enough. It has no nutrition at all, and eating too much of those things will cause malnutrition due to the lack of necessary elements for the body.

Of course, if you only eat the Demon Flower Fruit, the results will not be very good. Malnutrition will still occur, but at least with the supplement of the Demon Flower Fruit, the occurrence of this situation will be greatly delayed. The time gained should be enough for the orcs to expand their diet and find more abundant food.

Lin Zhenxi couldn't possibly be in charge of everything, could she? Giving the orcs magic bread, magic water, and even helping them improve a high-yield magic crop—wasn't that enough?

Inducing mutation in seeds is a highly random process. Even if Lin Zhenxi had grasped the true meaning of praying to magic, it would not be possible to simply obtain the seeds of the magical plant she desired overnight. Lin Zhenxi had to go through multiple rounds of cultivation and screening to obtain the plants she desired. Then, through continued cultivation of specific plants, she solidified the characteristics she retained. Repeating this process over and over again, she eventually achieved a high-yield, high-quality crop with stable expression.

Magic can shorten the time required for targeted breeding, but gene expression still follows biological laws, requiring repeated iterations. While tedious, persistence generally yields results. Compared to scientific breeding, Lin Zhenxi's magical breeding saves significant time in the most time-consuming stages of cultivation, a task that would otherwise be impossible for a single person to complete in a short period of time.

Just as Lin Zhenxi was taking the Demon Flower Fruit she got from Noelni, picking out the seeds from it and preparing to cultivate plants, she didn't know that the woman who followed her Eye of Truth into the subway tunnel had already walked through the subway in a daze and arrived at the Orc Canyon subway station.

She was running after Lin Zhenxi's Eye of Truth, but when Lin Zhenxi's Eye of Truth was in a fixed state and not activated, the magic fluctuations were so small that they were almost negligible. She could not perceive such subtle magic fluctuations, so she thought that the Eye of Truth ran away along the subway tunnel, and then she chased after it.

The coalition had already moved their tents and supplies to the surface and had just settled in. After battling the monsters, everyone was exhausted and just wanted to get some sleep. The shield warriors, especially those injured in the battle, were showing symptoms of poisoning. The clergy in the coalition frantically treated them for a while, and they were finally able to fall asleep.

Then, a disheveled woman with a look of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?" suddenly emerged from the subway entrance. The guards on duty were so frightened that they nearly fell to the ground. They had just experienced a fierce battle in the subway tunnel, and now they were at their most nervous. The appearance of this woman startled everyone.

But she seemed to have lost her memory. She didn't know anything when asked, and she didn't even know to dodge the spear that the guard was pointing at her. As a result, the guard had to put away the spear to avoid actually stabbing her.

This woman was like a fool. She didn't say a word no matter what was asked, but she was very docile. She would not resist if she was caught. She would just turn her head and look at the guard who caught her with a blank look.

Her face was extremely pale, even her lips were purple, she looked like someone who had lost too much blood. Her body was also extremely cold, and when the guards grabbed her, they couldn't even feel her body temperature.

But she was also very beautiful, with that kind of cold beauty, with long silver-white hair that was slightly golden, dignified and beautiful facial features, a well-proportioned figure, and a full chest that was wrapped in a leather jacket but still bulged high. All of this revealed an amazing charm, which made the two guards who did not have much social experience stare blankly. They subconsciously relaxed their restraint on her and treated her as a lost woman instead of an unknown person with an unknown background.

The two guards exchanged glances, one of them stayed behind to keep watch, while the other quickly ran over to report the matter to Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal guard.

There was no way. Princess Isabella was very tired after all these twists and turns and had just fallen asleep. The little guards did not dare to disturb the princess's sleep, so they had to find "hound" Cyrus to explain the situation.
