Chapter 411: Approaching Arrival

Chapter 411: Approaching Arrival

The Magic Weapon Summoning Book allowed her to learn about the outside world without leaving her home. After all, no matter what kind of study or training, real-world experience was important. One could not keep improving just by burying themselves in research alone. Learning more about the outside world helped with personal growth. Some things could only be truly understood after firsthand contact. All of this was still too early for the young girl.

Although people in the Otherworld married very early, at her age of seventeen, many families already had children… This was true for ordinary people. For her, that kind of thing would only distract from her experiences. For those with power , even at thirty or forty, they could still look like girls of sixteen or seventeen.

However, she was a real young girl now, no dilution about that. A young girl was a treasured gem to a Magic Pharmacist. Before she grew up, of course she was not allowed to run around. Therefore, the Magic Weapon Summoning Book served as a good substitute for this gap. From her behavior after obtaining the Magic Weapon Summoning Book, its influence on her was quite positive.

At least in her daily conversations after that, she could talk about other things instead of only discussing matters related to Magic Potions. She did not become like a machine. It was precisely because he could become the Vice President of the Potion Masters Association that he knew how important having independent thoughts really was. Only with independent thinking could one go further on the path of innovation.

“I want to go to the Border Great Wall too.” After finding the Vice President of the Potion Masters Association, the young girl got straight to the point.

“No!” The Vice President of the association said with a headache. If it were any other association member, he would have already scolded them out. But he really could not get angry with the young girl before him. “It’s too dangerous there.”

“But he went.” The young girl did not name him directly, but both people present knew who she was referring to.

“He is not a member of the association. He can go on adventures, but that doesn’t mean you can go on adventures too.” The Vice President said. Although he held great power within the association, he was ultimately not the President. This matter was too important for him to decide lightly, so his refusal was very firm, giving the young girl no chance to argue back.

“What is Boss trying to do…” In Kachi Academy, Carlin looked at the latest information in the Magic Weapon Summoning Book with a headache. He really wanted to run to Zheng Yichen and ask, Boss, did you forget something important? Once you go to the Border Great Wall, who knows how long it will take to come back? What about the promised one month?

Why did it give a feeling of three years, then another three years? Could you please not do this? He really wanted Zheng Yichen to change his mind, but if he went over now, wouldn’t he just annoy Boss?

Looking at Lily in the classroom, Carlin’s thoughts drifted a bit. ‘Broken Finger’ had been wiped out some time ago, completely eradicated from top to bottom. Afterwards, no information leaked out. The whole incident seemed like it never happened. Broken Finger seemed like it never existed at all. And no one investigated the matter… or at least, not openly.

Although he had contributed to the destruction of Broken Finger, Lily had done most of it herself. That pretty little girl who seemed docile after Zheng Yichen appeared had revealed a ferocious coldness that did not belong to her age at that time. At that moment, she seemed to transform into a predator above Humans! All the higher-ups of Broken Finger became her practice targets.

Afterwards, Carlin examined the bodies of the deceased Broken Finger higher-ups. It was an extremely novel technique. It did not rely on the killing power of Mana or Battle Qi, but rather on the damage caused by another, more pure force… damage delivered through pure physical power!

That kind of killing power seemed inferior to Battle Qi and Mana in terms of destructive capability. Its destructive range was even smaller than Battle Qi, suggesting significant limitations. However, Carlin had good eyesight. He did not easily dismiss it because of these limitations. Even without expansive area-of-effect properties, this attack concentrated all its power to unleash it!

It lacked the fierce intensity of Battle Qi or the versatile transformations of Mana. What it had were attacks that looked ordinary but were deadly. Lily’s attacks could even break through and ignore Mana defenses. Moreover, the attacks were very covert. When linking moves, Carlin saw that after Lily delivered a not-so-fast attack by pressing on a Broken Finger gang underling, the underling coughed up blood and flew backwards, with his internal organs suffering devastating damage!

This move was less effective against stronger opponents, possibly because the attack was too ‘calm,’ resulting in insufficient power. Against those with Mana, the effect was weaker. However, this method still made Carlin wary. There was no Mana Fluctuation at all. It seemed to rely purely on one’s own physical power as an attack technique. Combined with that calm method, once Lily’s technique matured, what heights could it reach?

Could it silently kill a target under what looked like a casual collision?

She was still young now. After a few years of refinement, if she really reached that level, wouldn’t she be able to create a new assassin school relying on such a technique? Provided she could use this technique to offset the influence of Mana or Battle Qi on combat power. Could that be done?

Previously, Carlin would not have had such thoughts. Even if he knew, he would just chuckle lightly, thinking it was overthinking. But this time, he lacked the confidence to deny it. Lily’s conditions were simply too outstanding. Not to mention the power of the Demonic Sword Evil God within her body, just Zheng Yichen, who was connected to many Witches, as her backer gave her any excellent conditions that no one else possessed.

So, this child might really succeed!

“What are you thinking about?” Sensing Carlin’s emotional fluctuations were a bit strong, Karin asked.

“I’m thinking about the heartless Boss with his endless overtime… uh, no, about apprenticeship in the future.” Carlin said. If Lily could really create a new system with such a special technique, then he expressed a strong desire to go and learn it. After all, Infiltrators, besides specializing in their own areas, were versatile in other aspects related to survival.

“Hmm, there is indeed a need to learn.” Karin said. If Carlin could see the potential in Lily’s immature technique, of course she could see it too.

“Then it’s decided… Well, but about Boss here…”

“Let’s wait. We can’t run away.” Karin said. Although Zheng Yichen was their Boss, both of them knew well that Zheng Yichen was very special, but he also had even more special Witches by his side whose combat power was at the top level.

“Sigh, that’s it then. If I didn’t know the truth about Boss, I would have admired this initiative to go to the Border Great Wall.” Carlin said. It was only when he thought about the Witches around Zheng Yichen that this behavior, which seemed like contributing to Humanity and actively putting oneself in danger, took on a different flavor. Moreover, regarding the Border Great Wall, Carlin felt a bit heavy-hearted. He had heard his teacher talk about the Abyssal Calamity. His teacher’s account was more detailed than the records in books.

Not that his teacher had experienced the Abyssal Calamity, but ancestors in their lineage had, so some more detailed records were passed down. These records were not easily found in the history books outside. So, knowing that the Undying Witch was targeting the Containment Barrier made him feel heavy. The Abyssal Calamity… Carlin was not someone who welcomed chaos, nor did he hold extra resentment towards the world he lived in. Honestly speaking, he also really hoped the Abyssal Calamity would not break out again.

“I won’t think about it anymore. The more I think, the more I want to go to the Border Great Wall and see for myself!”

On the road to the Border Great Wall, Zheng Yichen looked at some vehicles on the road, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He was currently in the convoy of the Sanctuary Church, essentially catching a ride. They were already within the range of the Border Great Wall. The ability to get here quickly was mainly due to the use of the Teleportation Magic Array. Zheng Yichen’s determination to come here was firm enough. The Sanctuary Church side could not force him to give up this idea, so they could only open some convenient channels… providing the Teleportation Magic Array used internally by the Church. However, the cost of using it this time had to be paid by Zheng Yichen himself.

The Church would not reimburse this considerable expense. Of course, Zheng Yichen could also choose to decline. Only then he would have to drive there… Well, if he drove, by the time he reached the Border Great Wall, it would be far too late. What the Undying Witch wanted to do was clearly to buy time, using the stability of the Containment Barrier to make others hesitate…

In short, the members at that Church Branch quite wanted Zheng Yichen to choose to drive themselves. They stated that if Zheng Yichen did so, they could provide a team of Church Knights for protection. Of course, it was not free either. But Zheng Yichen asked, was he someone short on money?

And so, in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the outer area of the Border Great Wall. From this outpost, the Border Great Wall was very close. Among the other convoys, many were not from the Sanctuary Church, but from other factions. Quite a few lone wanderers were mixed in as well. This was easy to tell. Generally, those belonging to a certain faction traveled in convoys. About ninety percent of lone wanderers drove Magic Cycles, speeding wildly through the wilderness. Racing in such a place was simply exhilarating.

Alright, what made Zheng Yichen smile were not these ‘enthusiastic’ people, but rather seeing his influence more directly. You know, although there were still people riding some kind of Magical Beast mounts in this area, their numbers could no longer compare to those driving vehicles. In such a short time, it had already surpassed the traditional mount development of the Otherworld. Seeing it directly now, how could he not feel proud?

In less than half a day’s journey, he saw the distant Border Great Wall, a vast project…
