Chapter 253
259. Chapter 259: Interstellar Trek
Sage Paro's legion really lost contact this time.
The Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance stepped on the bottom line tolerated by the Supreme Council and used this brazen attack to issue a warning to Riverside Academy.
The Sosi Great Sage wants to advance to an eighth-level Great Sage; they don't have much opinion on the surface.
In the Wizard World, from the Supreme Council down to ordinary wizard organizations, everyone is actively preparing to cope with the environment of the great changes that haven't been seen in thousands of years mentioned in the last prophecy before the extinction of the Nostradamus Saint, and they dare not have too obvious opposition.
Their attitude on the surface is that they have opinions on the Riverside Great Sage's domineering style and the style of scouring everywhere.
Scouring and searching, one word difference, worlds apart.
In the entire Michelle District, including the star territories that can be expanded outside that were "allocated" to the Michelle District by the Supreme Council, the total amount of resources is fixed, especially high-level precious resources.
If Riverside Academy eats and occupies more, other wizard organizations will have to eat less.
Even if you are strong and develop well, you can't eat what's in your bowl, look at what's in the pot, and still grab what's in our bowls.
As a person, the way of eating cannot be too ugly!
This matter, even if it is brought to the West Coast pillar Gross Saint, or even to the Supreme Council, the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance have words to say and reasons to speak.
And this surprise attack, both organizations held back their strength.
If they really intended, they could completely take the opportunity to wipe out the Lucia family mixed legion stationed in the Barren World Rear Camp.
They wouldn't just fire a beam of annihilation light, destroy a few portals, and then stop, decisively retreating.
Even if some personnel casualties were caused under the attack, it was an unintentional act, not intentional.
At most, make some humanitarian compensation in terms of economy.
Nothing else is discussed.
After Dean Forrest received the report of the sudden incident, he didn't care about the loss of materials.
The resources consumed to build two portals are not small.
At most, it is equal to the resources consumed by the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance sneaking into the star territory where the Rear Camp is located and firing a half-power annihilation light.
It cannot be counted as a big loss.
Sage Paro's legion losing contact with the Wizard World is also just a temporary thing.
Wanting to restore contact is very simple.
It's just that, looking at the content in the report mentioning that Lin Ke Grande and Iris Clark encountered an accident where the teleportation was interrupted when teleporting back to the Wizard World mainland and fell into time-space turbulence.
Dean Forrest's expression instantly became heavy, and he attached great importance to this matter.
Lin Ke Grande's identity is very clear.
An "outsider" whose past life soul came from a certain technology-side parallel world, already branded with the Wizard World mark.
Past life kinds of things can only be considered as nourishment and obstruction on Lin Ke Grande's growth path.
Iris Clark's identity is more complicated.
Her soul is a purely native Wizard World soul, but she possesses multiple personalities.
Her brain also flashes with memory fragments of a parallel world counterpart soul from time to time, and she is greatly influenced by it, making her words and deeds increasingly crazy.
Up to now, the Clark family hasn't determined the reason for this situation.
Several Sages in the academy who were quite interested in this also discussed it and didn't reach a clear conclusion.
They only proposed a few hypotheses and conjectures, and haven't verified them.
Grandfather, the Riverside Great Sage is searching everywhere, wanting to find that special "outsider" mentioned in Nostradamus Saint's prophecy; Dean Forrest knows this clearly.
That exchange study with Shadow City was Dean Forrest pushing behind the scenes.
The so-called order from the Academy Headquarters, designating Lin Ke Grande to become a leader, was even more Dean Forrest's handwriting.
It's just that it was transferred through hands, not directly designated as the Dean of the Advanced Academy.
Sitting in the position of Dean of the two academies, surface fairness, justice, and openness still need to be maintained.
It cannot appear too partial.
The results proved that even if Lin Ke Grande exists specially, it is special in other aspects.
He is not the special "outsider" in Nostradamus Saint's prophecy.
"Could it be you?"
Dean Forrest's finger tapped lightly on Iris Clark's name, murmuring to himself.
Yes, after seeing the report of Lin Ke and Iris falling into time-space turbulence, his first reaction was to guess whether Iris Clark was the special "outsider" in the prophecy.
This kind of guess is not groundless, relying entirely on idealistic intuition, but has internal logic.
Strictly speaking, Iris Clark can indeed be considered an "outsider."
And it is the kind with an extremely special situation.
It is precisely because of this specialty that everyone in the academy, including the Riverside Great Sage, subconsciously excluded the possibility of Iris Clark being the special "outsider" in the prophecy.
This is a native soul of the Wizard World!
How could it be the key to opening the parallel universe channel behind the special ruin world.
Therefore, everyone who knew about and participated in the search for the special "outsider" in the prophecy subconsciously excluded Iris Clark.
They didn't arrange for her to go to the special ruin world to verify it.
Dean Forrest, thinking back now, discovered that the point of being a native soul of the Wizard World is extremely deceptive.
Who stipulated that the special "outsider" in Nostradamus Saint's prophecy must be the first life after reincarnating into the Wizard World?
What if it is the second life, or the third life?
Iris Clark's situation, clearly a native soul of the Wizard World, yet entangled with a parallel world counterpart soul, perhaps it is the embodiment of the second or third life of reincarnation.
"If it is really like this, everything can be explained."
Thinking of this, Dean Forrest didn't continue to sit in the office.
He instructed the staff of the Dean's office to properly handle the incident of Sage Paro's legion Rear Camp being attacked, save those who should be saved, repair those who should be repaired, and issue the diplomatic note that should be issued with strict wording.
He returned directly to the Academy Headquarters to report his new discovery and new conjecture to his grandfather in person.
How to act afterward and what measures to take is not something Dean Forrest can decide.
It involves the special "outsider" in Nostradamus Saint's prophecy.
Participants must be at least seventh-level Great Sages.
In the time-space turbulence.
The "Sky Shuttle" starship is suffering devastation.
The defensive shield has been broken, and now it can only rely on the hull to resist the impact of the turbulence.
Lin Ke, taking Iris, hid in the escape pod and controlled the starship through the Tower Spirit.
He cut off the power supply of other systems and aggregated all energy, all used to support the starship's defense system.
Even the power supply of the Annihilation Cannon was cut off.
The speed and flexibility of the "Hummingbird" class starship have no room to play in the time-space turbulence.
It seems like a car caught in a hurricane, except for accepting devastation and preparing to welcome the outcome of being torn apart or crashing, there is no effective way to get rid of the tornado.
Lin Ke and Iris can only consider self-rescue.
Encountering sudden changes, the two didn't communicate, but divided the work tacitly.
Entering the "Sky Shuttle" and entering the escape pod, Iris remained calm throughout.
While Lin Ke controlled the starship through the Tower Spirit, Iris didn't idle, constantly stimulating various wizard artifacts she carried, and throwing defensive witchcraft as soon as it cooled down.
To offset the impact and damage caused by the violent turbulence of the starship to the two.
Unfortunately, being in the time-space turbulence, the space storage wizard artifact cannot be used.
Otherwise, Iris could take out several top defensive wizard artifacts of 3-Ring level specially refined for her by her sister Lanni to use.
In this way, another glimmer of hope for survival could be increased.
Iris was just thinking this when she discovered a claw the size of two Shandong-class ships lined up side by side suddenly blocking the front of the time-space turbulence.
From the outside, the claw was cut off at the root, not knowing what sharp weapon or power cut it.
The huge but sharp claw tip was facing the "Sky Shuttle."
It won't take long for the two to collide.
This is the difference in flow rate caused by different mass sizes.
The claw is heavy, the flow rate in the time-space turbulence is slow; the "Sky Shuttle" is light, the flow rate in the time-space turbulence is fast.
The pursuit problem in mathematics/physics is usually a linear equation in one variable.
With the current state of the "Sky Shuttle," there is no need for the impact force generated by the speed difference between the two; just a light touch on the claw tip will shatter it.
This is just considering the physical level of collision, without considering the extraordinary abilities and effects that must exist on the claw.
A single claw is so huge, the body size of the claw's "owner" can be imagined. In the heavens and worlds, star beasts have always been divided into strength levels by body size.
Strong strength means eating more; eating more means stronger strength.
Judging from the body size of the claw, the "owner" of the claw is at least a level-6 Transcendent life.
How dare a small "Hummingbird" class starship collide head-on with the claw of a level-6 Transcendent life.
Even if it is a broken claw!
"Get ready, we are going to abandon the ship."
Lin Ke was not panicked, reminded him, and focused on controlling the starship.
Watching the distance to the claw getting closer, Lin Ke's brows frowned tighter and tighter.
The timing of abandoning the ship is very important, neither too early nor too late.
Too early is easy to be biased in direction by the time-space turbulence, too late is sending food, directly poked to death by the claw.
"Steady!"
Lin Ke shouted, and completed the operation at the same time.
Three seconds before the "Sky Shuttle" collided with the claw, the escape pod ejected, drew an arc, and escaped from the top of the claw.
It wasn't just one escape pod that ejected.
The "Sky Shuttle" has a maximum capacity of 10 people, so there are 10 escape pods.
Lin Ke ejected all 10 escape pods at once and controlled the layout of the escape pods.
Four at the bottom, two on the left, two on the right, one on the top, nine empty escape pods were tightly arranged, tightly wrapping the escape pod where Lin Ke and Iris were.
To resist the damage that might spread over.
This preparation was not redundant.
When the escape pod array swept over the claw.
A flash of eerie light, the four escape pods at the bottom that were fully powered and opened in defense mode were instantly cut in two.
Lin Ke had long been fully operating the "Brain Seal Technique," turned on the "Multi-threaded Thinking" state, mobilized... uh, couldn't mobilize the "Small World" source power for blessing.
That was also a humanoid supercomputer equipped with top-level AI, with extremely powerful calculation and reaction capabilities.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ke controlled the escape pods on the left and right to fill the void at the bottom.
The result was that it couldn't even hold on for a second.
But that was enough.
In less than two seconds, the escape pod had swept across three-quarters of the claw, with only a little distance left.
"I did my best."
In a hurry, Lin Ke left this sentence full of helplessness.
Immediately gave up controlling the escape pod, turned to turn on the life-support mode of the starry sky suit that the two had put on as soon as they entered the "Sky Shuttle."
And then directly ejected from the escape pod, avoiding the slashing eerie light of the claw's near-complete rule power level, and "flesh" entered the dangerous time-space turbulence.
From this moment on, whether the two can survive really depends entirely on luck.
Without the favor of the Wizard World Will, even if Lin Ke received two favors, he couldn't directly cast witchcraft in the time-space turbulence.
Iris is even more so.
The reason she could cast witchcraft inside the "Sky Shuttle" before was because the "Sky Shuttle" was powered by magic stones.
Even storage magic stones can still dissipate free magic power and build an environment relatively suitable for casting witchcraft.
The "Sky Shuttle" completely disintegrated at this time, declaring it scrapped.
The outcome of the 10 escape pods was all cut in two.
Perhaps because of the impact of the starship and the claw, a wave of "time-space tide" suddenly occurred in the time-space turbulence.
A "wave" directly covered Lin Ke and Iris, who were tightly bound together, and washed them out of the time-space turbulence.
The two, who were stunned by the sudden and powerful impact force that could be compared to a full-strength blow of a level-3 wizard, didn't know where they would drift.
"Damn! So painful!"
Before fainting, Lin Ke, who suffered heavy injuries, only had time to issue a curse.
Recently, I've been having bad luck.
I just recovered from my injuries!
I don't know how long it took, in a daze, Lin Ke heard the call in his heart.
"Master, Master, Master wake up..."
Flandre's voice with a crying tone kept ringing in Lin Ke's heart.
One after another, it knocked on the sleeping soul.
Struggling hard, Lin Ke finally woke up from the muddled and chaotic state.
"Master, you finally woke up."
Flandre's voice was suddenly full of surprise.
Immediately, her little hand raised, and another healing witchcraft was thrown toward Lin Ke and Iris, who was still unconscious beside Lin Ke.
"Where is this?"
After checking the state of himself and Iris, Lin Ke found that the starry sky suits they were wearing were undamaged.
Thinking that it was Flandre who changed them during their coma.
He didn't care about it anymore, but asked.
Flandre blinked her eyes and said suspiciously:
"Master, we arrived near that very strange ruin world.
Flandre wanted to take Master and this woman that Mistress hates the most to that star fortress.
But I don't know why, I just couldn't get rid of the restraint, walked a few steps and was sucked back, walked a few steps and was sucked back."
"Ruin World?"
Lin Ke looked around and found that directly in front of him was the special ruin world similar to the Earth in his previous life, and behind him was the star fortress used by the Wizard World to observe and anchor the special ruin world.
Closer to the former, farther from the latter.
At the same time, a strange fluctuation came.
Lin Ke vaguely sensed longing and calling from this fluctuation.
And the target of longing and calling was not Lin Ke, not Flandre, but Iris, who was still unconscious.
Looking over, Iris was also undergoing some wonderful changes.
Her appearance hadn't changed, but her temperament was completely different.
The sense of conflict that always made Lin Ke feel discordant vanished.
The crazy woman became a quiet sleeping beauty.
As if this was Iris's true appearance.
"What's going on?"
Lin Ke felt suspicious in his heart.
Suddenly, a seven-colored halo appeared in the special ruin world.
A semi-circular mark similar to a rainbow appeared on Iris's forehead at the same time, flashing and flashing, seeming to echo with the seven-colored halo of the special ruin world.
"Flandre."
Lin Ke sensed something was wrong and shouted.
Flandre returned to the "Small World" obediently, without any delay.
Lin Ke grabbed Iris's wrist tightly and took out a 1-Ring wizard artifact in the shape of a rope from the "Small World," binding the two tightly together again.
The seven-colored halo erupted suddenly.
The next moment.
In the starry sky, the figures of Lin Ke and Iris disappeared.
The special ruin world broke away from the observation and anchoring of the Wizard World.
The alarm in the star fortress rang loudly.
True Chapter 148.
