Witch Special
Chapter 512: Accepting the defensive mission and returning plan
While the general direction was clear, and Lin Zhenxi had already expressed her stance—to support Luke first, regardless of right or wrong—Rossello's story wasn't yet complete. The story of Silent City was far more fascinating than Lin Zhenxi had imagined.
The team of Silent City was slowly assembled. In the beginning, there was only Apostle Luke. Later, the Golden Clown appeared. The Golden Clown then pulled Luke's former subordinates from the planet called "Hyberlun" one by one to form the original team of Silent City.
At this time, Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Rossello, since the Golden Clown can pull people over from that Heberon, why not do the opposite and send Luke back directly?"
Although Rousselot was not sure about the specific answer to this question, he gave a guess about the "anchor point".
In other words, the Golden Clown can summon continuously because it is by Luke's side. The objects it summons all have a deep relationship with Luke, and some are even Luke's former creations. Therefore, they can be summoned. If it were to play, there would be no anchor point on the planet Hyperion that can support Luke, and Luke would not be able to return to his homeland through the Golden Clown's space teleportation.
This wasn't just Rossello's wild guess, because the Golden Clown later brought back Becky, an artificial lifeform with a super-brain, from nowhere. With the completion of the inverted observatory, a massive dimensional navigation system began operating. Becky's mission was simple, yet also difficult: to find the specific coordinates of Hyperion in the vast sea of stars.
Anyway, Becky has been in Silent City for a long time, and this task is still not completed.
Along with the dimensional navigation system, the "Black Nightmare" project, led by the Light and Dark Twins and the Light and Dark Golem, was launched. Because the skies of the demonic world are always covered by thick clouds, sunlight cannot reach the ground. Luke becomes extremely weak in the absence of light, so in order to revitalize Luke, he needs a large amount of light, and the "Black Nightmare" project came into being.
The Black Nightmare is a mysterious energy transfer, imbued with the apostle's breath of Luke, capable of dragging its target into a nightmare. In this recurring nightmare, the light within a living being is devoured. When the Black Nightmare completely consumes the light within its possessed being, that being loses its mind, awakens from its slumber, and becomes utterly violent, indiscriminately attacking everything in sight until it is completely destroyed.
The black nightmare that absorbed the light in the hearts of living things will return to the Silent City through space transfer, and project the collected light to the "focusing mirror" located outside the Silent City, and then transport it to the "Dance of Light" managed by the Golden Clown through the energy pipeline "Immortal Corridor".
Once the Light Dance's stored light reaches a certain amount, it is transported to the Light and Dark Altar within the Silent City, where it is transformed into pure light and dark forces. This purified power is then uploaded to the Light and Dark Altar's superior unit, the Temple of Light and Dark, and from there directly to Luke's residence, the "Mechanical Throne."
This is the whole process of Silent City gaining the power of light and darkness through black nightmares.
In addition to the light and dark power systems, Silent City also has a parallel mechanical energy system, to which Lin Zhenxi belongs: the Sanctuary of Birth. The mission on this side is simple: to maintain the operation of Silent City and ensure that Silent City has sufficient robots to complete various daily maintenance tasks.
Belonging to this side of the system are the Iron Arm located on the outskirts of the Silent City, the Energy Furnace, the three holy places of Birth, Spread, and Annihilation located in the middle layer, and the Energy Control Room and Energy Storage Room located in the inner layer.
Although light and darkness are the sources of Luke's power, the role of mechanical energy is equally important, so there is no need to worry about it being underestimated.
The information Rossello provided was so detailed that Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but wonder how she knew so much. The various districts of Silent City were actually quite isolated from each other. Aside from Becky wandering around, everyone seemed to be focused on their own little piece of the action, unconcerned with the experiences and origins of others.
In any case, Lin Zhenxi had never seen anyone in the Sanctuary of Birth except Noelni, Rossello, and Becky who occasionally came over. If Rossello hadn't invited him, the old magician "Schneider of Purification" would definitely not have come.
Then there is Buffon. The area she is in charge of is right next to the Sanctuary of Birth. Buffon also has a spare body that is not restrained and can move freely, but Lin Zhenxi has never seen her leave the Sanctuary of Spreading except when everyone is studying the magic circle of magic gathering together.
When everyone is almost closed in the small circle they are responsible for, Rossello actually knows so much about other people and places. There is probably no other explanation except astrology, right?
While divination is often associated with predicting the future, in reality, it's more commonly used to explore the past. After all, the certainty of the past is far more palpable than the uncertain and ever-changing future. Divining the past is undoubtedly far more accurate, easier, and yields more detailed information than predicting the future.
But Lin Zhenxi couldn't learn the astrology of this world anyway. To be more precise, she had no interest in the astrology limited to this world, so she didn't delve too deeply into how Rossello obtained so much information through astrology.
Rossello's narration continued, and gradually extended to a deep topic that made people feel heavy in their hearts after listening to it.
Apostle Luke, could die.
"When I saw Lord Luke's 'death' through astrology, I found it truly difficult to accept. Lord Luke was a strong and gentle man, and everyone gathered in the Silent City loved him from the bottom of their hearts. With everyone working together, I simply couldn't understand why Lord Luke's star showed an omen of death."
"But looking back at the entire process with that conclusion in mind, through Lord Luke's various arrangements, I realize he seemed to have known his fate long before. Yet, he didn't give in; instead, he defied his own 'death.' The King's Library was built specifically for this purpose."
"Even Lord Luke himself hasn't given up, so there's certainly no reason for us to give up. So, no matter what the astrological results indicate, we must do our utmost to strive for a result that is beneficial to Lord Luke, even if it means making the entire world our enemy."
Perhaps shocked by Rossello's statement, Lin Zhenxi remained silent for a long time after hearing her words.
But after a moment of silence, she stood up, moved the fingers of her hands, and then a confident smile appeared on her face.
"Teacher Rossello, the area I'm responsible for is the front section of the Sanctuary of Birth. What level of support can I get? Is it enough to just hold the enemy back and prevent them from causing trouble for you?"
"Also, do I need to kill all the enemies coming over here?"
Rossello's eyes widened slightly, as if she was getting to know Lin Zhenxi all over again. She had never known before that Lin Zhenxi was such a murderous person.
Kill them all... Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
Don't need it?
Not sure.
"Maki, take care of yourself. If you encounter an enemy you can't resist, it's okay to run away. Prioritize saving your own life."
"Actually, our Sanctuary of Birth isn't a very important department. Of the three sanctuaries, the truly important one is the Sanctuary of Spread. It serves as a signal tower for all mechanical life forms. If the enemy wants to stop the activities of the robots outside, they must come and destroy the Sanctuary of Spread."
"But we're so close to the Sanctuary of Spread, it's hard to guarantee that no enemies will come. Also, if the enemy invades, I'll use weather magic from my room to provide remote support to the battlefield outside Silent City. Who knows, some enemies might come seeking revenge."
"If the enemy really comes, it will be up to you two, Maki and Noelni, to resist them."
It turns out that this is Rossello's job. Lin Zhenxi nodded to show his understanding.
Lin Zhenxi had witnessed Rossello's weather magic during her assessment of Norni. Putting aside the magic's power, its attack range was truly vast. Rather than targeting specific enemies, weather magic was more suited to battlefield use, clearing out less powerful troops.
If all the miscellaneous soldiers were kept out, the ensuing battle would be much less disruptive. Given the strength of the Silent City's officers, dealing with the small group of elite troops that had infiltrated should be relatively easy. After all, they all had the home-field advantage, and with the massive energy supply from Silent City as a backing, there was no reason they couldn't win, right?
Lin Zhenxi was planning to give the invaders of the Sanctuary of Birth a big gift. She had wanted to engage in a positional battle for a long time, but unfortunately she had never had the chance. This time, she was going to give it a try.
As for what to do if she can't win? If she can't win, she'll just reveal her cards. She'll simply pull out her personal terminal, hand in the commission to the "company," and instantly gain a seven-day pseudo-invincibility state, her mystery maxed out. With her mysterious protection activated, no one can harm her. Anyway, Lin Zhenxi feels she's gained enough in this world. Being content is the key, and she no longer has any desire to seek benefits in this world.
Then let's finish this last thing, help Silent City survive this disaster, and then return.
This is exactly what Lin Zhenxi thought when he left Rossello.
