Witch Special

It seems that the two long-legged, black-stockinged bunny girls did not hear Lin Maki's apology, because they cared more about Lin Maki's current situation than what she said.

There is a strange transparent film covering the space door, and on the other side of the space door is a pure white space. This state has nothing to do with "normal".

"Maki, what's going on over there?" Rossello pushed away his silly apprentice who was in the way, and asked Lin Zhenxi with concern as he looked at her behind the space door.

Lin Zhenxi lowered his hand, holding the staff in his hand horizontally in front of him, lowered his head, and said with a gloomy expression: "Teacher Rossello, I have something very important to tell you...at least, it is very important to everyone living in Silent City."

"It's the news of Lord Luke's death, right?" Rossello asked calmly.

Lin Zhenxi suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise. This had just happened, how did Rossello know about it?

"The stars have long foretold Lord Luke's death. It is his destined demise. Maki, this has nothing to do with you. No matter what you did or didn't do, Lord Luke will die today, before his throne. So, Maki, you don't need to feel ashamed. None of us can defy this destiny."

Rossello's words not only surprised Lin Zhenxi, but also shocked Nornie so much that her eyes widened.

"Teacher, you said that Master Luke's death was inevitable? Why..."

"In the Silent City, I'm not the only one who can tell fortunes. Lord Luke himself is also a powerful fortuneteller. He predicted his own death long before I did, and he has been working to combat death since a long time ago. The King's Library, Maki, you've been there. It was built specifically by Lord Luke to combat death. It stores all of his memories, as well as numerous backup copies of his body. If Lord Luke were to meet with an unforeseen event, he could be resurrected through the arrangements of the King's Library."

Uh, Luke knew he was going to die today, and he even had a bunch of bodies ready for resurrection? That's pretty cool.

But Lin Zhenxi still couldn't understand. If Luke had known that he would have this disaster in his life, why didn't he make more preparations, or even tell everyone in Silent City in advance that he had a backup plan for this death, instead of letting Silent City suffer heavy losses in this disaster?

How many Tarot card cadres are still alive? I'm afraid there are not many.

Lin Zhenxi asked Rossello this question directly, and Rossello shook his head, saying that Lord Luke probably had his own considerations.

Moreover, unlike the heavy losses that Lin Zhenxi had expected in the Silent City, the core of the Silent City was Luke. As long as Luke was alive, many of the dead Tarot cadres could be reawakened. Only those cadres who were originally natives of the Demon Realm and later joined the Silent City were truly dead.

For example, Schneider of Purification, Super Speed ​​Jakalina, and Jakalina's master, Moonlight Walker Yasin, whom Lin Zhenxi knew, if these people had been defeated by the assault team, they would probably be dead.

Well, Schneider may not be the case. If the old fox wants to run away when he sees that the situation is not good, I am afraid that few people can stop him.

Hearing this, Lin Zhenxi felt a little relieved. If the losses in Silent City weren't as great as she had expected, then today's events wouldn't be so difficult to accept.

However, due to her height, Lin Zhenxi couldn't see the worry in Rossello's eyes. Perhaps Luke's current situation wasn't as optimistic as she said.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Maki, what's your situation now?"

"Yeah, Lin Zhenxi, why do you look like you're in jail?" Nornie poked her face out from under Rossello's arm and complained bluntly.

Lin Zhenxi sighed and said, "This matter... is quite complicated to explain. I still don't understand why it turned out like this."

After that, Lin Zhenxi began to recount her experiences over the past half day. However, because the story itself was so bizarre and convoluted, Lin Zhenxi had to pause several times to allow Rossello and Norni to ask the questions they had been holding back on. Otherwise, she was a little worried that these two people, especially Norni, would say something bad.

Even though Lin Zhenxi had tried her best to make her description brief, it was still half an hour before she finished telling the whole story. Her mouth was dry from talking so much that she had to take out a bottle of water from the space cube to moisten her throat.

The lengthy explanation actually had its benefits: Lin Zhenxi didn't need to be questioned again at the end. Both Norni and Rossello had already accepted during the conversation that Lin Zhenxi, the "otherworldly being," had been expelled from this world and had become a "transcendent" in the other dimension.

The concept of transcendents was originally circulated among the Alien Tribe. Both Noel and Rossello were "transcendents" in the Alien Tribe's legend. As a result, they now discover that their "transcendents" are actually fake, or to be more precise, incomplete. They are just reserves for the real transcendent, the "God of Destiny". However, Lin Zhenxi skipped all the intermediate stages and directly became a real transcendent, the "Lord of Dimensions". This is indeed outrageous enough.

Although the price is that Lin Zhenxi has been exiled from the main world, and there is no way for her to return unless she breaks off relations with the world, she can still communicate unimpeded through the space gate anyway, so compared to the price, Lin Zhenxi's gains are obviously greater.

It’s fine as long as they don’t suffer any loss, but from now on, only Lin Zhenxi can contact them actively, and they can never find Lin Zhenxi again, which makes the two of them feel a little sad.

It was mainly Nornie who was sad. As for Rossello, her expression had been a little strange since she heard that Lin Zhenxi had become a true transcendent, as if she had made some kind of decision, and even the expression on her face had become much firmer.

After discussing this topic, Rossello, as the teacher of the two people, was the first to speak and arrange the next steps.

"Maki, you know who killed Master Luke, right?"

Lin Zhenxi nodded and said, "He's a man who always has a sick fake smile on his face, wields a short sword, and has short silver hair."

"Very good. Now, teacher, I have something to trouble you with. Please find him and retrieve a special ring from his hand. That man used that ring to absorb the Apostle's Breath from Master Luke. If you don't take back the Apostle's Breath that he stole, Master Luke will not be able to be resurrected."

Lin Zhenxi didn't ask Rossello how she knew this. After all, she could even predict the day and place of Luke's death, so it was normal for her to predict what conditions were needed for Luke to be resurrected.

As for how Lin Zhenxi had managed to retrieve the magic ring imbued with the Apostle's Breath from the man who had sneaked up from behind and killed Luke, who had already given up resistance in his old man form? She was now a Transcendent. She hadn't ventured into the Main World simply to accommodate the World Will's feelings and avoid antagonizing it. She had a very clear purpose in mind. As long as she demonstrated her determination to accomplish her mission, even if it meant rupturing the world, the World Will would have to consider her concerns and make concessions.

This is the Transcendent, an existence on the same level as the World Will, and already has the power to demand from the World Will.

After all, if you don’t give it to me, I will come to get it myself. You can’t even stop me and may even get a slap in the face. So why don’t you give me some face?

So Lin Zhenxi nodded, said something to Rossello, then closed the space door and turned to look for the swordsman who had killed the frail old man with a backstab. Rossello, on the other hand, sighed after seeing Lin Zhenxi's space door closed, and turned to look at her silly apprentice, whose eyes had regained clarity after knowing that Lin Zhenxi was fine.

Although Lin Zhenxi had become his apprentice earlier, she possessed a comprehensive magical system of her own, and the only thing she could learn from Rousselot was divination. However, Rousselot's skills were essentially based on divination, as evidenced by her title of "Astrologer Rousselot" rather than "Prophet Rousselot." For some strange reason (Rosselot now knew that Lin Zhenxi was from another world), Lin Zhenxi had never been able to master Rousselot's signature natal astrology, so naturally, the task of inheriting Rousselot's skills fell to Norni, who had become his apprentice later.

Norni and Rousselot were both "transcendents" of the Alien Tribe, reserve members of the "God of Destiny." They not only looked alike, but their powers were also very similar. It could be said that no one was more suitable to be Rousselot's apprentice than Norni, much more so than Lin Zhenxi.

It's a pity that this apprentice's mind is a little slow and he always seems not very smart.

But Norni's talent for magic was indeed beyond doubt. She could quickly master the knowledge that Rossello taught her. What she really lacked was knowledge of the ways of the world and the principles of how to behave in society, rather than practical magic skills.

Unfortunately, she no longer has time to teach Norni these things. Let her use herself to teach Norni one last lesson.

"Noelni."

"Ah, I'm here. Master, what should we do next?" Noelni straightened her back subconsciously, and the fat on her chest trembled up and down twice elastically.

"Let's go to the King's Library first, and then to the Mechanical Throne. I plan to perform the resurrection ceremony for Lord Luke there, and you have to help me." Rossello patted Noel's shoulder. This strange action made Noel look puzzled.

She could sense that Rossello seemed to be in a heavy mood, but she had no idea why.
