Witch Special

Just like that, a few days later, Lin Zhenxi and Norni stood side by side at the gate of the "Silent City", a majestic tower-shaped building that soared into the clouds.

Wait...isn't the plot jumping around a bit too quickly? Let's review what happened earlier.

It's actually quite simple, because the three people who made the decision actually tend to let Noelni leave. As for those ordinary orcs in the Orc Canyon who don't want Noelni to leave, no one will care about their opinions.

Needless to say, Lin Zhenxi was quite optimistic about Noelni's potential. Now she had finally found a sandbag that was close to her level but just not as good as her, and she had filled this sandbag with sand one shovel at a time. Of course, she hoped that Noelni could leave with her.

Anyway, what happened in the Orc Canyon had nothing to do with her. What really worried her was whether the card she got from the Golden Clown could support her to bring Noelnie to join the Silent City. It would be embarrassing if people said, "I invited you, why did you bring your family with you?"

But Lin Zhenxi believes that Noelni is definitely a potential stock. If Silent City is recruiting people from outside to strengthen its own strength, then they have no reason to reject Noelni.

Anyway, go and give it a try first. From the perspective of work environment and social status, Silent City can be regarded as the top workplace in the demon world. Being able to join the company is no less than being assigned to a central government agency directly after passing the civil service exam. It is a kind of overnight success, and it will definitely be a face-saving thing to tell others about it.

Then there was Benjamin. He also hoped that Noelni could go further, leave the Orc Canyon, a quagmire that was not suitable for her at all, and go to the wider sky outside. Even if she only came back to visit occasionally, as long as the orcs in the Orc Canyon knew that they had a strong kin outside and could go to her if they encountered any problems, that would be enough.

Distance creates beauty. If Norni were to hang out in the Orc Rift every day, her fellow Orcs would surely lose their fear of her and begin making unreasonable demands. This was a flaw ingrained in the Orcs' race after years of harsh living conditions. Benjamin hoped to get Norni out as soon as possible, so she wouldn't be influenced by such things and bury her talents.

Besides, it was Benjamin who had originally suggested letting Noelni leave. Now that the Orc Canyon had a device that could automatically produce bread and water, and with the improved crop seeds Lin Zhenxi had sent them, it could be said that the Orc Canyon's most pressing food problem had been basically solved. The next development issue... would take its time.

They've been living like this for so many years, haven't they? Shouldn't they be even more dissatisfied just because their living conditions have improved? Those orcs aren't broad-minded enough to see that. Anyway, those orcs are quite content now. The first thing they do every day is to go to the magic circle and get a few pieces of awful bread, eating them as they walk. If their clothes weren't too tight, they'd probably even carry a few more in their arms.

Lin Zhenxi originally made the bread taste so bad in order to prevent this from happening. But it was obvious that these lazy guys didn't care whether the food was delicious or nutritionally balanced, as long as they could keep themselves from getting hungry. But after filling their stomachs, they didn't want to work. They just went home and lay down, patting their bellies and waiting to die, and then went to get bread when they were hungry.

It was these disappointing performances of the tribe members that made Benjamin want Noel to leave. Otherwise, sooner or later one of Noel and the Orcs would be destroyed, and no matter which side was destroyed, it was not the result Benjamin wanted to see.

As for Norni, her feelings were much more complicated.

From childhood, she had been taught that she was the future of the Orcs, and that only by becoming the legendary Transcendents could they save their fate. Now that she had truly become the Transcendent Norni, she had indeed changed the fate of the Orcs, allowing them to leave the extremely harsh living environment of Time Square and move into the Orc Canyon. However, the burden on her shoulders also placed the weight of the entire Orc tribe on her shoulders, and she must be responsible for them.

She did a lot for the orcs, mediating conflicts, building new houses, and even three hundred magical circles that automatically produced bread and water. She had managed to solve half of their basic needs. But what happened then? Had the orcs changed? Unfortunately, but also quite obviously, no. The orcs were the same as they were before, lying dead with hunger before, now dead with full bellies. Did they work just because they were full and had the energy? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

As a result, someone now tells her that you don’t have to work so hard. The fate of the orcs has nothing to do with you. You can pursue the life you want. As long as you work hard to improve yourself, it will be the best feedback to the orcs.

This made Norni feel helpless. She even began to doubt what was wrong with her long-held outlook on life and values, and she went straight into autism.

But this kind of thing is easy to solve. If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Noelni's brain circuit doesn't have these twists and turns. Seeing that Noelni really couldn't make up her mind, Lin Zhenxi jumped up and patted her shoulder, then said to her: "Noelni, don't think so much, just follow me from now on."

Noelni nodded blankly, and then was taken to her safe house by Lin Zhenxi in a daze. She watched Lin Zhenxi sort out his scattered assets bit by bit, dismantling the equipment into parts and stuffing them into the space cube one by one.

Lin Zhenxi had spread herself too thin, and the safe house and several other ancillary rooms were filled with equipment. Now that she was leaving, she was reluctant to throw anything away. As a result, it took too much time to dismantle and store the equipment, and Norni was left in the safe house staring blankly at the surveillance screen for two days.

But for some reason, Norni, who had been watching the big screen for two days, seemed to have suddenly realized something. She no longer mentioned that she should return to the Orc Canyon to contribute to the Orcs, but instead began to ask Lin Zhenxi when he would set off for the Silent City.

Lin Zhenxi looked over curiously and discovered that a group of Orcs, led by old Benjamin, who was leaning on a cane, had already begun planting demonic flowers on the land Lin Zhenxi had plowed for them. Although Benjamin lacked Norni's magic, he had the prestige accumulated over hundreds of years in the Orc Canyon and a group of willing thugs of his own kind.

Under the high-pressure supervision of the tall orcs who also had fox heads, the lazy cat-headed orcs and dog-headed orcs reluctantly picked up the sturdy tools left by Lin Zhenxi and began to work awkwardly.

This scene on the surveillance screen had never appeared when Norni was the leader.

It seemed Benjamin had a hidden trick up his sleeve. He had never shown Norni his team, and Norni, alone, had to do everything herself. Now that Norni had been taken away by Lin Zhenxi and Benjamin was back in power, he could easily re-employ his own people and make the Lukas the ruling class of the Orc Rift.

The tall, brightly furred fox-headed orcs used whips to coerce the lazy orcs into working. This method worked well, for fear of being whipped, the cat-headed and dog-headed orcs worked diligently, cultivating an entire field in just one day.

The growth rate of magical plants defied scientific logic. They began sprouting the moment the seeds were planted. Benjamin had the seedlings watered again, and by the next day, the vines had grown to half a man's height. While this was still a far cry from the instant flowering and fruiting that Lin Zhenxi had achieved with magical spring water, this rate of plant growth still made all the agronomists feel their worlds collapsing.

It was only after seeing the lush farmland and seeing colors she had never seen before in the Orc Canyon that Norni finally felt at ease and decided to leave with Lin Zhenxi. After all, the outcome was clear: she was simply not suited to be a leader. Orc Canyon could only develop normally under Benjamin's leadership, but she wouldn't see much improvement.

Just like Benjamin said, she could only do odd jobs in the Orc Canyon, which was of no help to the Orcs. Perhaps only if she went out and made a name for herself, letting others know that the Orcs had produced a powerful Transcendent, would the Orcs not be in such a difficult situation outside like they are now.

Then Lin Zhenxi finally packed up all the things. Although there were still a lot of tables, chairs, furniture and other things left, those were actually transformed by Lin Zhenxi using the Transfiguration Spell. Apart from the magic power, the only cost was a few gentle waves of the wand. There was really no need to take them with him.

These things will remain forever underground, becoming mysterious relics somewhere. Perhaps one day in the future, civilization will truly develop in the Orc Valley, and due to insufficient space above ground, they will begin to seek space underground. Then, beneath the land where they have lived for generations, they will unearth a massive underground palace with a network of passageways extending in all directions.

Leaving some small cultural shock to future generations.

After packing up, Lin Zhenxi finally picked up the small bottle containing the fragment of the Eye of Darkness, put it in his pocket, and then took Norni on the road to the Silent City.

Her adventure story in this world has thus opened a new chapter.
