Witch Special

Through this portal, one could see a brightly lit passageway. However, the light didn't come from the ceiling or the walls, but rather from lines embedded in the ground. The warm glow illuminated the entire passageway, yet it seemed completely bare, devoid of any decoration, giving it a somewhat desolate feel.

Lin Zhenxi had already acquired the Silent City's unique magic circle drawing technique through the Witch's Book. Although she hadn't had time to read and study it yet, she at least knew that the lines were actually part of a magic circle. The idea of ​​embedding the magic circle in the alloy plate to form a light strip was truly brilliant.

It was just a passage, nothing much to see. Lin Zhenxi and Norni followed Rossello in. This portal, bordered by a blue box, had a distinct difference from Lin Zhenxi's own: the spatial parameters changed from a boundary line to a buffer zone, significantly reducing the sense of spatial dislocation and making Lin Zhenxi feel less uncomfortable as she passed through it.

This is a good civilization, worthy of learning and reference. However, it still needs to be studied how the circle of blue squares that form the border of the space gate were formed.

There are so many good things in Silent City. I've come to the right place!

After passing through the space gate, the surroundings seemed to grow quieter as the space shrank. Due to the limited height of the passage, Rossello gave up on flying and landed back on the ground. The two plus-size beauties beside Lin Zhenxi were both wearing high heels. Their slender heels made a crisp sound when they collided with the floor, echoing through the somewhat enclosed passage with each step, creating a rhythmic effect.

Soon, the path came to an end, and Lin Zhenxi and the others were led to a suspended corridor. Looking down through the nearby guardrail, they could only see some unidentified bluish-purple substance flowing at the end of their field of vision. As for the exact depth, it was impossible to guess.

At the end of the corridor is a very imposing metal door, with a tall, mighty and lifelike statue standing on each side of the door.

The statue on the left was primarily white, with an eagle's head and a human body. It wore heavy armor composed of glowing crystals and held a golden spear. Its body flowed with golden and blue liquefied energy. Just by looking at it, Lin Zhenxi felt as if she were staring at the sun. Her eyes ached, and she involuntarily looked away.

The statue on the right is primarily black, with a dog's head and pointed ears. Compared to the white statue next to it, the dog-headed man here is more lightly armored, but the weapon he holds is a mighty hammer, entwined with black lightning, giving it an imposing appearance.

The two statues, one dazzlingly white, the other so dark it seemed to absorb all sight, were no ordinary creatures. Furthermore, Lin Zhenxi could sense powerful streams of light and dark magic flowing through their bodies, like blood. From this, Lin Zhenxi concluded that both statues were likely alive, and both were incredibly powerful golems.

Noticing Lin Zhenxi looking up at the two gate gods standing to the left and right of the main gate, Rossello turned and said, "Those are Horus, the Idol of Light, and Anubis, the Idol of Darkness. They guard the impenetrable gate, the strongest line of defense for the City of Silence. They are also the bearers of the tarot cards 'Justice' and 'Judgment', and are your trusted allies."

Before Rossello could finish his words, the two tall golems raised their weapons to the middle, forming an X-shaped roadblock, blocking the three people's way forward.

"Rossello, you brought a stranger in." The white eagle-headed golem's eyes lit up, and a loud voice came from its chest.

"No entry without a pass." The dark idol Anubis next to him said firmly in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

Rossello held his forehead and sighed, saying, "You two, this is an interview. You can't ask for a pass from every newcomer to Silent City."

The two golems did not respond, but they did not move the weapons in their hands. The meaning was very clear: they would not let them in.

Rossello obviously didn't want to argue with the two door gods. She shrugged her shoulders, turned to Lin Zhenxi and Norni and said, "Well, it looks like you can't go in for the time being. I'll go find Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Prince first. Horus and Anubis will still listen to them."

Lin Zhenxi and Norni naturally had no objections, and the two gate gods would not make things too difficult for Rossello. As long as Lin Zhenxi and Norni did not approach the gate, Rossello would still be allowed to go in alone.

So Lin Zhenxi and Norni were thrown here, staring into the eyes of the two powerful golems, speechless.

When these two golems are not moving, they are almost no different from decorations. There is no breath of life at all. Even the magic power flowing in their bodies has become very slow. They must have entered some kind of low-power dormant state.

But through their conversation just now, Lin Zhenxi knew that the two golems possessed advanced intelligence. Golems must have a creator, and intelligent artificial creatures were the jewels in the crown of magical creation, an area Lin Zhenxi had yet to break through.

If she wanted to create a magical creature with intelligence, she could only create a blank soul first, then write emotions and memories into the blank soul, and finally insert this soul into the magical creature. For example, the virtual soul of Lin Zhenxi in the Pensieve was created in this way.

However, this presents a problem: the virtual soul wasn't created by the magical creature itself, but rather inserted by Lin Zhenxi, making the two incompatible. This wouldn't be a problem if it were a dead object, but if it were a living thing, the problem would be severe, and would even become more severe over time.

How to make magical creatures directly produce their own souls is what Lin Zhenxi really wants to know.

There are more and more things in the Silent City that interest Lin Zhenxi.

Fortunately, Rossello did not make Lin Zhenxi and Norni wait too long. A few minutes later, the metal door behind the two tall golems opened to both sides again, and Rossello, who had the most conspicuous figure, was the first to appear from behind the door.

But in fact, Rousselot was not standing in the front. She was following behind two people. It was only because of her height that she was noticed first.

So Lin Zhenxi shifted his gaze and looked at the two people who were standing closer to the front than Rossello.

These are two young people... who at least don't look very old. They seem to be just junior high school graduates and entering high school, with a bit of immaturity still on their faces.

A boy and a girl, the boy has purple hair and the girl has long golden hair. They look very similar, that is to say, the boy has a handsome face comparable to that of a woman, while the girl is very heroic, the type who would charm thousands of girls if she were in a girls' college.

It’s just that the eye patch on the girl’s left eye slightly disrupts the coordination of her facial features, but it also adds a bit of wildness to her temperament, so it can’t be said to be a complete failure.

Besides their similar appearance, the most distinctive feature of this young man and girl was their hands. They both wore large, exaggerated arm armor, which was completely mechanical, flowing with red liquid energy. As they moved, the liquid in the tubes flickered and flowed continuously.

Lin Zhenxi felt that the two pairs of huge palms that came with their arm armor could grab a person's head like a football and crush it easily.

These two should be the "Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Prince" mentioned by Rousselot.

Both of them were dressed mostly in casual attire, with no sign of protective gear, giving them a rather fashionable vibe. However, looking at the massive arm armor that tightly covered their sides, it's likely this was done to reduce weight. Furthermore, those massive arm armor served as two massive shields, easily waving them a few times to block any attack. With that in mind, body armor didn't seem necessary.

"Horus, Anubis, they will be companions of the Silent City from now on. There is no need to stop them." Before the people arrived, the princess among the twins in arm armor spoke first.

Her voice is very distinctive, an organic combination of the crisp tone of a young girl and the mature tone of someone who has been in a high position for a long time, just like mixing ice water and hot cocoa together, giving people a sense of contrast between liveliness and coolness.

The two tall golems knelt on one knee at the same time and bowed their heads to salute the two leaders of the Silent City.

"Yes, Your Highness." x2

"No need to be so polite, you are just doing your job." This time, it was the turn of His Royal Highness the Prince next to His Royal Highness the Princess to speak.

His Royal Highness's voice was a little hoarse, as if it had not been used for a long time, but fortunately he spoke relatively coherently without any interruptions.

But compared to His Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness's voice was far inferior. Perhaps he was also the quiet type, so the Princess usually gave the orders?

Passing through the two newly erected golems, the Princess and Prince of Silent City, clad in giant gauntlets, arrived before Lin Zhenxi and Norni. The Prince unconsciously took a small step back, falling behind the Princess, who scrutinized the two with her single eye, a piercing gaze that seemed to punch holes into Lin Zhenxi's body.

However, this feeling lasted only a short time, and her eyes softened again. She said to Lin Zhenxi and Norni, "Let's go inside and talk first."

Lin Zhenxi's first conversation with the Iron-Fisted Princess and the Giant-Wristed Prince was so brief that Lin Zhenxi didn't even have a chance to speak.
