Chapter 149: The Ladder
Due to joining in the middle of the battle, I don't know if it was because he couldn't fully trust it, Lin An's room arrangement was not with other mages, but a group of attics near the bell tower in the south corner of the fortress. 「」
The attic where Lin An wanted to live was empty, and there were basically no residents.
It seems that the fortress mages are scarce, otherwise General Matthew would not be so eager to keep her.
According to the soldiers who led the way, the attics were dedicated to the mage. It's just that in the attic where Lin An lives, the previous batch of mages basically didn't live in, and only one mage on the basement floor of the attic didn't leave, but when the next batch of mages arrive, this attic will be full of popularity.
Lin An was noncommittal about this, in fact, she was very happy not to have too many people to disturb her.
The attic has only three floors, plus a basement that has been inhabited, and the area is not too large or small, which is spacious for the barracks environment.
After a brief look, Lin An chose the room located on the top floor, although the area was a little smaller than the one below, and the room temperature was low, the firewood supplied according to the share was definitely not enough, but this was basically not too much of a problem for the mage.
Lin An took a fancy to this attic because he didn't want to be disturbed by people passing by the stairs, and there was also a roof pavilion attached to the top, which could be used as a real place, which made up for the small area. 「」
Lin An was very satisfied.
The room was cleaned very clean, the soldiers brought up the firewood, lit the fireplace, and then told Lin An that someone would deliver food and hot water regularly, and Lin An waved his hand and let him go.
As for things like making beds, the soldiers didn't ask. It seems that he is very familiar with the habits of mages, and knows that these people basically meditate all night and do not need to sleep.
After the soldiers left, Lin An released a lock spell on the door. Dizzy with her brain, she walked to the small pavilion on the top floor, drew a meditation array on the flat ground, and sat down to meditate.
Although she can now cast spells, her mental trauma is not complete, and she can obviously feel mental turmoil when casting spells.
……
Half a month later.
Lin An opened his eyes from meditation. A slight smile appeared.
The results of the meditation are satisfying. "The mental instability that had plagued her for a long time had basically recovered, at least Lin An had done it
She looked around at her surroundings, and the small pavilion had become much more crowded than half a month ago:
On the three-tiered wooden shelves against the wall are more than two dozen books. Some are thin, some are three knuckles thick;
Opposite the wooden shelves is a dark half-length cabinet with many large and small drawers. It was tightly closed, and there were all kinds of materials sent by the fortress side to make the potion that Lin An needed;
On the left side of the wooden shelf there are two tables, one high and one low. On one of them were many bottles and jars, and on the other was the portable alchemy table that Lin An carried with him.
In addition, there were many messy things scattered all over the room, and some of them didn't even work, but it was Lin An who remembered the various tools he had scavenged in the ruins with the water boat during his cultivation, and he was in a hurry to choose them in the ruins. I just looked at the appearance and guessed the general effect, and I brought it if I thought it was useful. But it's not clear how it's used.
For example, the coffin-like water boat was sturdy enough, and it was drifting on the water for two days in a row, and it was crossed by countless ice floes, without the slightest trace on the surface, and after it was sealed, it would automatically transform the air, so that Lin An did not suffocate to death in it. 「」
But the switch was frozen so badly that it was too oolong, and in a similar situation, Lin An didn't want to do it again, so he took this opportunity to try out all those tools according to the memories absorbed by Kronos, and found a few things that were not bad in practicality.
For example, the four beads that can replace the vigilance circle.
- After putting the spar into the soil and burying it, it not only has a warning effect, but also attacks the life that carries energy beyond a certain limit in addition to the master, each attack is equivalent to a second-level attack spell, which can be said to be a treasure necessary for traveling alone in the wild - of course, it is a little higher energy consumption, four attacks are a round, and after a round, the four spars put in it are considered wasted;
There is also the black box, which emits invisible sound waves and makes beasts, insects and snakes irritate and avoid, which is also a good thing, but even if there is a hedron, it can only be used for about five hours a day, otherwise the hedron will burn out - according to Kronos, it is an apprentice's unfinished experiment;
There is also a portable trap, like a large pocket, the mouth of the bag is placed upwards on the ground, and there is a hole ten feet deep underneath:
This is actually a dimensional bag, and after someone falls into it, it is equivalent to falling into another space, and they can't get out again - Lin An first heard that it was a dimensional bag and wanted to use it as a space equipment, but Kronos said that this thing can enter but not get out, and he has never seen anything that goes in or out. 「」
In addition, there are some scattered gadgets, such as the "rattan house" that grows plants and the spatula that automatically cooks food, etc., which look like a water boat without decoration, Lin An can't figure out the principle at all, and these things are useful for the time being, and Lin An doesn't plan to dismantle them until he finds a replacement.
As for things like stealth beads and burst stones, they have long been invalid because of the change in the law, but the raw materials for making them have never been seen, so Lin An stayed in the space, and after seeing and identifying them, it might be useful.
With the storage of these things, as long as the supplies are sufficient, even if she walks on the ice field alone, her safety is greatly increased.
After recovering from this mental trauma, Lin An faintly felt that her spiritual power was purer and more condensed, and she was secretly happy in her heart: according to Kronos, she can now be called the upper reaches of the ** division in terms of both the amount and purity of her spiritual power.
Tidy up the small pavilion, put the fifteen bottles of potions that had been newly prepared according to the requirements of the fortress on top of the half-body cabinet, and the remaining elixirs that had been extra due to the high success rate were swept into the space by Lin An:
This is a common practice in the army, and every pharmacist does this, but Lin An's medicine has a higher success rate, and she refused the reward given to her by the fortress mage group, and declared that she would exchange it for materials, so the potion harvest in the past half a month is not small - after all, no matter how abundant the number is for an individual, it is only a fraction for a fortress of tens of thousands of people. 「」
Lin An's storage and table only made the fortress and other mages feel that this Lynn mage's research in pharmacology was quite crazy, and even magic crystals were not rare, and he was looking for materials to collect, nothing more.
In preparation for something, in addition to taking advantage of her position to create a large number of buff potions, Lin An also exchanged some hypnotic mist and chaos potions with other mages in the name of exchange - in fact, she had exchanged a lot of such things before entering the ice field, but because of the dangers she had encountered recently, she felt that it was better to get more.
There are still some materials left on the half-body cabinet and the alchemy table, but there are not many left.
Lin An packed up all his things, removed the shielding circle drawn on the ground, and put the materials neatly into the half-body cabinet, and the small pavilion was empty in an instant, without the slightest popularity that anyone had ever lived.
Taking out a prepared letter and putting it on the top of the cabinet, Lin Anxin thought: "Although according to that guy's words, it will probably be easy to come back, but I can't tell what the situation will be inside, how long it will stay, and it is better to keep a letter than to say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”
Lin An checked the things in the space again, and made sure that the preparations were complete, and finally let the most critical obelisk see the light of day.
For a long time, the obelisk did not move at all.
Lin An couldn't help but ask, "How is this thing used?" ”
"If it's a medium to turn on the sub-plane or plane projection, it's nothing more than using magic or mental power to trigger, and according to the words that the little guy leaked, it should be closely related to the strength of your mental power - you try to use mental power to trigger it."
"It seems like we've already tried it with magic and mental power as soon as we got our hands on it." Lin An said.
"It should be that certain conditions have not been met - since everyone is going north, then maybe there are places - "
Kronos's voice stopped abruptly.
Lin An only felt that his spiritual power was like touching a certain imprint in the obelisk, and he was swallowed by a whale, and after a trance, the scene changed in front of him, and the connection between the depths of his soul and Kronos was interrupted.
Lin An was shocked, and he didn't care about what was in front of him, so he called out to Kronos:
The soul contract between her and Kronos is already the closest kind of contract, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to be half of each other, if it is forcibly cut off because of this, then the consequences are unbearable for both her and Kronos, otherwise the original design was successful, and Kronos would not have been at a loss, and finally compromised.
Lin An's voice echoed in the space, and after a while, Lin An realized that he had neither a spiritual breakdown, nor a soul that had been torn apart by the power of the law contained in the contract, and suddenly came back to his senses from a frightened heartbeat, only to find that he was in a space that did not connect with the world and the ground.
Strictly speaking, it is not completely impossible to connect with the world and the ground, because at the foot of Lin An, there is an incomparably long and undulating long staircase, and the staircase is like a snow-white stone, and there is no end in sight in the front, and no end in the back.
The whole space brought Lin An an illusory hazy feeling.
This feeling is very familiar to Lin An, because she often enters the dream space, and she is very familiar with this feeling of being in a pure spiritual space.
It stands to reason that pure spiritual space can't hinder the connection between her and Kronos, but since this is a place where countless powerhouses and geniuses have identified opportunities as they are, it seems impossible to have some anomalies.
At least according to Lin An's feelings, her mental power is very stable, and there is nothing wrong with her soul, and now that this space is isolated from her and Kronos, it should not cause them substantial damage.
The pure mental space would not be brought into the body, and it was obvious that her previous preparations had been in vain.
Lin An tried to move his mind and found that this place was not like a dream space where you could leave by the way.
Lin An looked around, such a monotonous scene and things made it very clear what she needed to do next - nothing more than walking, stairs, and stairs.
- Lin An was curious about what this place would bring her. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. )
