Witch Special

Silent City's supplies were quite plentiful, especially for industrial consumables like grease. Huge amounts were flowing in and out daily, so there was no chance of a shortage. Therefore, Lin Zhenxi easily received two large barrels of high-temperature lubricating oil in metal cans, weighing approximately 20 kilograms in total.

From the perspective of a magic dissolver, this weight is completely sufficient. After all, the grooves of the magic circle are actually quite fine. Even if the depth is several centimeters, a magic circle does not require much filling material.

Carrying two large buckets of grease, Lin Zhenxi directly opened the space door and returned to his work area.

After mastering the Space Gate, Lin Zhenxi had acquired a teleportation skill that could replace Apparition. Compared to Apparition, which felt like being swept up in a washing machine every time it was used, teleportation using the Space Gate was much smoother. It only caused sudden changes in spatial parameters, but it didn't cause Lin Zhenxi any physical discomfort.

However, the use of the space gate must be combined with the exclusive world. When Lin Zhenxi first came to this world, the exclusive world was sealed for unknown reasons, so she had to use Apparition to move around. However, the exclusive world that was sealed for unknown reasons was suddenly blown open by Lin Zhenxi igniting the magic essence and creating a huge fireball. This allowed her to use the space gate to move freely again.

The biggest taboo when using teleportation is to rashly teleport to a place you've never been. Because you don't know the environment of the destination, teleporting could easily turn into a tragic suicide. Therefore, generally speaking, Lin Zhenxi only uses teleportation to places she's been to.

This is commonly known as opening the map. Before the map is opened, space teleportation cannot be used casually.

Now, Lin Zhenxi is familiar with the situation of the energy furnace, and even left a lot of magical items with Lin Zhenxi's own magical aura there. It is equivalent to having a large number of ready-made space coordinates, so she can naturally move through the space gate.

The same situation actually applied to the Sanctuary of Birth. Lin Zhenxi could return to the Sanctuary of Birth at any time by simply opening a space portal. Compared to Norni's simple, but limited, space travel, Lin Zhenxi's space portal, while slower, offered significant advantages in stability and effective range.

As for short-range movement, even in combat, Lin Zhenxi hadn't yet developed it. Disapparition was manageable, but every time she used it, her stomach churned. Lin Zhenxi wasn't prone to self-abuse, so she avoided this type of magic whenever possible.

Lin Zhenxi actually has a goal. If she can achieve it, she might be able to obtain a spatial domain where she can move freely without even a moment's delay, even more absurd than spatial flickering. However, this project is still under development, and the obstacles are quite difficult to overcome.

To achieve high-speed spatial movement, one must possess exceptional computing power. Only in this way can one instantly calculate spatial parameter changes. Spatial parameters are the most important influencing factor in spatial magic. Their calculation process affects every aspect of spatial magic, with the most significant and obvious impact being the speed at which spatial magic is released.

However, the calculation of spatial parameters is also complicated. With Lin Zhenxi's computing ability, he cannot complete the calculation of spatial parameter changes in the blink of an eye.

So, the real issue currently troubling Lin Zhenxi, preventing her from applying spatial teleportation directly in combat, is her computational abilities. If she had a tool similar to a magic device that could assist her in calculating magical parameters, perhaps this problem could be resolved. Unfortunately, the only magic device Lin Zhenxi has is the Heart of the Rising Sun, a massive device that can only be used as a supercomputer and cannot be shrunk down to be worn directly on the body.

Lin Zhenxi had seen such items before. The Heart of the Rising Sun was inspired by the Heart of the Dawn. That ancient relic had a shrinking function, making it convenient to carry around and assisting with calculations and spellcasting during battle. The problem was, Lin Zhenxi didn't have any of those items. Magical devices of that level weren't something you could easily find, or even buy with money. It was all about fate. If it was destined, it would come, but if it wasn't, there was no point in forcing it.

Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but sigh at the thought of the difficulties she was currently facing. As her magical powers further evolved, she could continue to advance much of Kazhu's previous magical research, but this also created new and more difficult problems. It can only be said that as knowledge grows, the unknown also expands. People don't notice this when they're ignorant. Perhaps ignorance is also a kind of bliss?

Oh, it seems we have gone off topic again. Let’s get back to the topic and see how Lin Zhenxi uses his newly purchased high-temperature resistant lubricant to make magic circle fillers.

Well, actually, there is nothing much to see. Lin Zhenxi provides magic power and prophecy does the work. It is almost a matter of declaration. These two barrels of lubricants are given magical properties by Lin Zhenxi and turned into something similar to a magic solvent, but its physical properties have not changed much.

After testing, the magic grease has a qualified magic power passing rate, and its fluidity is not sufficient. However, as long as magic power is used to guide it, its flow in the grooves of the magic circle can be accelerated.

The boiling point of this lubricant is above 230 degrees. It can exist stably in the energy furnace at an environment of 80 or 90 degrees without worrying about volatilization. This is enough to meet Lin Zhenxi's needs for carving magic circles.

With qualified magic circle fillers, Lin Zhenxi began to transform the area in front of the energy furnace into a magic circle, creating a magic circle that fits the environment.

Considering the high temperatures, anyone who could reach the energy furnace would undoubtedly be equipped with a wealth of heat-resistant gear and items. Therefore, Lin Zhenxi decided not to continue focusing on fire. High fire resistance comes at the cost of low ice resistance, so Lin Zhenxi decided to experiment with some tricks, creating some trigger-type magic traps that could create extremely low temperatures.

The enemy would never have imagined that they would suffer frost damage in such a hot environment. Even in such an environment, the effectiveness of freezing magic would be greatly reduced, but the conduction of heat requires a process, while the creation of magical ice is a matter of a split second. The time it takes for the magical ice to melt is enough for the ice to transmit the cold to the frozen enemy's entire body.

The malicious Lin Zhenxi created many magic traps that would immediately produce huge ice blocks to freeze people once activated, turning the large open space in front of the energy furnace into a minefield. Only then did he begin to think about what kind of magic summons he should prepare next.

Asura Rhinoceros Beetle?

Does it feel like Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle has been appearing too often lately? Even if it's a one-trick pony, Lin Zhenxi doesn't just have this one magical summon, so she has to give the others a chance to appear.

Since all magic traps are ice-based, why not make the magic summons ice-based as well? Or, even more radically, turn the area in front of the energy furnace into a frost field. Enemies equipped with tons of fire resistance gear ready to fight fire monsters would be completely stunned when they ran headfirst into the frost field.

Anyway, as long as there is enough magic power, changing the world is not a problem, and creating an ice field in the energy furnace is naturally not a problem.

That's it! Lin Zhenxi began to build a magic formation in the shape of the Frost World. After a lot of effort, he finally completed the layout of the Frost World.

In this way, as soon as the enemy approaches and the magic formation is activated, a large area in front of the energy furnace will instantly transform into a frost world, hiding a large number of ice traps. Lin Zhenxi can also add some ice magic summons to the mix, and this malicious magic formation will be complete.

When it comes to ice-based magical summons, the Frost Giant and Frost Dragon are probably the most valuable. Lin Zhenxi couldn't produce such high-end items, but magical creations like Ice Golems and Ice Balls were not difficult to create. In the frost world, these magical creations, composed entirely of ice, are essentially immortal. Even if broken, they can automatically heal themselves, making them perfect monsters within a magic formation.

Lin Zhenxi had no intention of placing any magical creatures of the Lord's caliber within this magic formation. Its purpose was simply to delay the enemy and reduce the number of other enemies. As for those truly formidable opponents, the magic formation's impact on them was likely limited, and Lin Zhenxi would have to intercept them personally.

This is also Lin Zhenxi's responsibility, and she will not escape it.

As for now, Lin Zhenxi had spent two days in seclusion, finally completing the layout of the Frost World Magic Field in front of the Energy Furnace. Concentrating was exhausting, so after completing all his work, Lin Zhenxi headed straight for the viewing platform he had discovered, which offered a wide view. He lay down on his large bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

As for the fact that Silent City is now in a state of war, no matter whether there are any new movements of the Demon Realm Army in the past two days, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls. As long as no one touches the energy furnace, Lin Zhenxi does not need to worry about those things for the time being.

But this time, Lin Zhenxi's sleep was not restful. Her bed was separated from the dimensional sea outside by a mere energy shield. While the shield could block the dimensional storm, it seemed there was something special within the dimensional sea. As Lin Zhenxi slept, her consciousness began to disperse, part of it passing through the energy shield and coming into contact with the dimensional sea outside.

In this way, Lin Zhenxi's dream and the dimensional sea were connected.
