With his eyes closed, Yosafat “saw” the scene on the other side.
Naturally, with the war fortress having lost its power, all one could "see" would be a dark and empty scene. However, the magic that wizards used for detection was never limited to a single "vision," let alone the fact that the one casting this magic was a genuine Morning Star wizard.
After his "vision" failed, Yosafat switched to "hearing".
"click"
—I heard the sound of something being ripped apart again.
The same sound as before, but now it was right above them, inches away.
Manipulating the magical fluctuations, Yosafat carefully moved them upwards.
"Click..."
The sound rang out again, and it seemed to be getting closer.
"Click..."
Its presence became increasingly clear; the Morning Star Wizard could even sense the faint dampness spreading in the air.
"Click..."
"caught you!"
The original reconnaissance spell instantly changed its structure under the intricate mental manipulation of the Morning Star Wizard, transforming into a force field spell. Accompanied by a sudden, sharp explosion in the air, a blurry hand outline slammed down on the top.
"clang--!"
Nothing.
"Click..."
"wrong!"
In an instant, Yosafat realized where the sound truly came from.
It was not witchcraft that "heard" the voice, but himself. So, at this moment when the voice is so clear, where is it?
"Click-clack click-clack click-clack————————"
……
Accompanied by the ear-piercing creaking of twisting metal, a dim purple light flickered faintly at the end of the torn metal door, and a figure could be vaguely seen fixed motionless on the wall.
The light source hovering around me moved closer to the wall, revealing a hollow face... well, it was indeed very "hollow," after all, including the eyes, brain, and heart, all the soft tissues beneath the skin had been hollowed out, and it was just like a coat hanger, supported here by the skeleton.
After glancing at the skeleton covered in human skin, Lin Yi walked straight to the energy pool and placed his palm on it.
"God, can you decipher this?"
[Task creation in progress... Estimated time: 2 minutes and 13 seconds. Execute task?]
"Yes."
"Click..."
"...God, did you hear that sound?"
No abnormal signals were detected.
"Click..."
Something is approaching.
"Click..."
Slowly approaching from the torn door.
"Click..."
Reaching out— towards the unsuspecting intruder.
"Click——"
It was as if the music playing had been paused; the first half of the note played, but the second half seemed to freeze and remained silent for a long time.
Facing the ten dark cannon muzzles ahead, "Leech" hesitated for a long time...
弍0VIII物另(九)氵琉久“哒?
A gray world.
On the dark and desolate ground, dozens of crimson rays emerged from the horizon, vanishing in an instant, followed by a brief silence.
"boom----------!!!"
P.S.: It's past four in the morning, a bit late.
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 784 Gray Leech
Just as Earth civilization invaded the Imperial Arms world for the special metals needed to create Imperial Arms, and the Geass world for the Sakura Stone energy, the reason why Wizarding civilization invades a certain world must be because that world contains something they need.
For the Bauhinia Wizard Tower, the only thing of this value in the Ash World is the "Ash Leech".
As the name suggests, it is a kind of "leech" with a gray outer skin. However, unlike the small appearance of the gray leech, the gray leech is much larger than in the normal world. The one in front of Lin Yi would be at least ten square meters if fully unfolded. However, after being irradiated by antimatter particle rays, it was mostly decomposed, leaving only a few "fragments".
One of the pieces was placed in front of him, constrained by his position, while records about "grey leeches" were retrieved from the data already deciphered within the war fortress.
Gray leech.
They range in size from five to fifteen square meters and mainly live in damp underground areas.
Omnivorous creatures, there is almost nothing they cannot eat (including gray mongooses, and wizards who are accidentally captured), but their favorite food is flesh and blood.
The skin of gray leeches has the ability to absorb mana, so their movements cannot be detected by magic; they can only be observed and captured by the naked eye.
It was precisely because of the "invisibility" of the gray leeches that they were targeted by the Radiant Moon Wizard of the Bauhinia Wizard Tower, leading to this invasion. The reason for eradicating the gray leeches was simply because the gray leech population had already consciously begun to eliminate the leeches—after all, they were dangerous species that fed on their own kind, and it was inevitable for them to do so in order to protect themselves.
Unfortunately, gray leeches are useful to wizards, so they have a reason to exist, while gray leeches are useless to wizards. Even if they were used as experimental material, their value would be reduced due to the huge difference in their physiological structure, and their existence would also pose a threat to the useful gray leeches. Just as humans would kill pests to obtain food, it would be a "natural" choice for wizards to kill gray leeches in order to obtain gray leeches.
However, that's all in the past.
The remains of a gray leech, still retaining a trace of activity, were placed before him. Various detection methods from the main god scanned the area repeatedly, but unlike the gray leech that could be "seen" before him, the feedback from all the detection methods was that "there was nothing there."
"interesting."
In the next two minutes, electric current, ice, flames... using the various equipment in the H-84 folding space, Lin Yi, who was waiting for the main god to decipher the war fortress, confirmed the special characteristics of the leech's skin.
In conclusion, the leech's skin has the characteristic of absorbing most of the spectral range, roughly 20nm~420nm and above 800nm. This certainly renders various radar and microwave detection methods ineffective, but it also perfectly enters the human visible spectrum range (380nm~780nm).
In addition, the leech's skin does not absorb "mana" as the Moonlit Wizard thought; it merely deflects it like a mirror. This leads to the situation where, although the magic confirms that the leech exists in a certain area, it actually exists in another area.
If that were all, the skin of the gray leech could be considered a rare resource. However, after various tests, Lin Yi simply gave up on including it in his collection for the main god.
"It has a low energy absorption limit and a huge flaw in its concealment effect. Even a flame of 300 degrees Celsius can easily destroy its structure... It can only play a little role when dealing with those lower-level wizards."
Simply label the leech remnants on the ground as "Anti-Witchcraft Invisibility Material" and throw it into the exchange list specifically for Earth civilization, priced at 1000000 reward points. As expected, it disappeared from the exchange list a few minutes later.
After dealing with the gray leeches, the main god's decryption task was also completed.
As a large number of magic stones (scavenged from the Bauhinia Wizard Tower) were poured into the energy pool from the folded space, the silent fortress slowly started up again.
The Ancestral War Fortress was far from intact, as the Moonlit Wizard's reckless actions caused it to plummet unprotected from a height of 5,000 meters. Not only was the defense system damaged, but the power system was also destroyed. Even if it could be started, it would be nothing more than a slightly larger target.
However, for Lin Yi, as long as the most core part is still functioning, that's enough.
—Boundary Breaking System.
Just like the world transfer of the main god, the time travel of the Time and Space Administration, and the crossing of the Information Integration Thought Entity, the wizards in the wizard civilization use this boundary-breaking system to move between worlds.
Unlike the other systems on the war fortress that require wizards to actively maintain, the most complex and important system is actually the simplest one when the wizards need to use it, contrary to common sense.
The use of the boundary-breaking system involves three steps.
Input energy (mostly mana, but mental energy and magic stones are also possible).
Define the scope (the default target is the Wizarding World - return journey; in addition, only vague low-energy worlds, medium-energy worlds, and high-energy worlds can be searched. Further positioning can only be done after the search is completed).
Then wait
Does this look familiar?
Let's describe it another way.
Connect to power, open your browser, enter your search target, and wait for the results.
Throughout the process, the wizards' role was simply to provide energy and a target and then wait for the results. The crucial retrieval principles and search methods were not mastered by the wizards at all, but were accomplished through the connection between the war fortress and something called "the wizard's will".
It has to be said that this method reminded Lin Yi of the way he and the main god used to act. In the same way, he would determine a general range of active energy intensity and then hand it over to the main god to search within the fixed range. After the target was determined, he would take himself or other things and move them into the target world. The only difference is that now the target has changed from himself and the main god to wizards and "wizard will".
"……interesting."
Lin Yi placed his palm on the ring-shaped virtual body surging with mana and inputted the forged command into it. With the tremors under his feet gradually intensifying, Lin Yi could feel something forcibly breaking through the world barrier of the Gray World and locking onto the war fortress where he was located.
The next second, the entire war fortress vanished from its spot, leaving only a dent in the center of the basin formed by the crash as proof that it had ever existed.
Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 785 Hogwarts (Part 1)
Located to the west of Hogwarts Castle is a large, gloomy forest.
According to school regulations, students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest. The forest is filled with dense, tall trees that completely block out the sky. Various monsters and magical creatures, such as werewolves, centaurs, and spiders, live and reproduce here. At the same time, there are also magical creatures that symbolize light and goodness, such as unicorns. There are even rumors that harpies live there.
This forest is known as the Forbidden Forest.
With Voldemort's reawakening, the entire wizarding world, including Hogwarts, is in a state of turmoil. Rupert Hagrid, who was originally in charge of the Forbidden Forest, was forced to leave due to various accidents that occurred within the school, leaving the forest to grow day by day.
As usual, the Forbidden Forest experienced an ordinary day.
A werewolf twitched its nostrils as it searched for prey in the bushland. With the overseer gone, it no longer needed to worry about anything. It could simply follow its hunger and kill the wild beasts in the jungle and eat them. Apart from magical creatures like harpies, lions, and unicorns, 95% of the species in the Forbidden Forest were on the werewolf's menu.
Compared to its kind, Warwick was much smarter. Before deciding to go on this hunt, it had already determined the range of the Griffin and could avoid it. As for the Unicorn, it would generally not attack other creatures in the Forbidden Forest unless it deliberately provoked them. In other words, for a period of time, Warwick was the most powerful hunter in this forest, which meant that it could freely capture any creature it wanted to devour and tear apart.
So, the clever Warwick decided to try something different.
The food that could fill their stomachs could be hunted under normal circumstances, but this opportunity was rare. If they could find something even more delicious, that would be wonderful, such as—
Humanity!
With its powerful hind legs pushing off the ground, Warwick created two indentations in the soft forest floor. It opened its large, tooth-filled mouth and bit down hard on the black-robed wizard who was facing away from it: it could already taste the sweetness of the blood.
"clang-----"
The protruding sharp teeth broke after holding on for 0.1 seconds, followed by its head. The greater the force it had used to charge, the more intense the pain it felt at this moment.
With the werewolf's painful howl, Warwick felt as if his head had been smashed in the face by a half-giant's hammer. Before he could even think about how the cold metal wall in front of him had appeared, the werewolf retreated in a sorry state: it had not only experience as a hunter, but also experience as a prey.
If it were facing the unsuspecting students at Hogwarts, it could certainly have a good meal, but if it were facing those cautious and powerful wizards, then it would have no choice but to flee. Otherwise, Warwick wouldn't have been captured and brought to the Forbidden Forest.
However, after clutching his head and taking a few steps back, Warwick was forced to stop. The equally cold and hard touch on his back made him realize that his situation was deteriorating.
"Can you understand?"
The metal wall that had just blocked his charge and biting had vanished without a trace, revealing the black-robed wizard standing unguarded before the werewolf. This discovery ignited Warwick's desire. Wizards were powerful, but they needed time to cast spells and required the aid of a wand—wait, he didn't have a wand!
Warwick discovered a huge surprise: the wizard in front of him had even lost the guarantee on which wizards depend for survival, so what did he have to worry about?
That's right, tear him apart, bite him to death, gnaw on him, the wizard's flesh and blood are definitely more delicious than anything else!
Bloodlust overwhelmed Warwick's reason once more. It howled and charged again, its open mouth aimed at the wizard's head, determined to crush the skull in the first instant.
Just as Warwick had imagined, the wizard without his wand lost his ability to cast spells and could only wait helplessly for death to come.
"Is he irrational?"
In the moments before his consciousness faded, Warwick heard this voice: "Never mind."
----------segmentation----------
The gravitational field, fifty times stronger than normal, instantly crushed the werewolf in front of him into minced meat, causing the ground in front of him to collapse into a pit more than three meters deep.
Considering the unknown world, Lin Yi did not take out the antimatter radiation device to destroy the body and eliminate the evidence, but instead looked up at the sky.
At an altitude of 200,000 meters, a metal fortress with a radius of 500 meters remains stationary under the constraint of an anti-gravity field.
After randomly selecting an alien world using the "Boundary Breaking System" within the war fortress, Lin Yi launched this tentative "alien invasion," arriving at this unknown region.
Judging from the castle to the east, this world should resemble a Western culture, while the werewolves and the many species active in this forest represent mysterious elements. On the surface, this should be another medieval mystery background like the wizarding world. However, the airship above the castle made Lin Yi reject this perception.
"Modern witchcraft civilization?"
After standing there pondering for a while, and making slight modifications to his black robe, Lin Yi used the anti-gravity magic to approach the distant castle. Similar to the airships in the sky, upon nearing the castle, Lin Yi discovered more technological artifacts such as pocket watches, and the terrain seemed somewhat familiar?
"Stop!"
