This planet's gravity was inconceivably strong, and space was compressed to a terrifying degree. A distance of a dozen meters would be over a hundred kilometers in normal space. Moreover, with that huge pressure, the Soul Eater Monster couldn't imitate Hughes' soul ability.
Unable to imitate the soul's ability and continue following Hughes' trajectory, he could only maintain his current appearance. Once his soul's power was exhausted, he would be torn to pieces by the enormous gravity here. No, he would be directly torn into tiny particles, and finally decompose into the same matter as this planet.
Hughes struggled to return to Noscent, and once he returned, he lay on the ground like a dead bird.
"Sir Merlin, I'm going to die, Hughes is going to die …"
Hughes was howling on the ground, looking very miserable. His two wings had been broken into countless pieces, his bones were all broken, and more than half of his feathers had fallen off. He looked like a half-cooked pheasant.
Lin Yun 'eyelids twitched. He took out a Health Potion and poured it down Hughes' throat, before taking out another Health Potion and turning it into a wave of water wrapping around Hughes. After a dozen minutes, Hughes recovered with an exhausted expression. It wasn't easy for his body to recover. If he had been a normal lifeform, he would have already died countless times. Only a soul lifeform like Hughes could drag his body to avoid destruction.
"Hughes, I'll change your body …"
Lin Yun didn't have time to finish his words before Hughes' eyes shone and his bird head rapidly shook.
"No no no, Sir Merlin, this body is very good, I'm very satisfied. Not only can I eat dessert, but I can also fly …"
Lin Yun was puzzled. He didn't understand why Hughes would spend so much effort to protect his body from destruction. To Hughes, a body wasn't much different from a set of clothes, especially when he was at the low level and hadn't reached the Extraordinary realm. Casually changing a body wouldn't have any effect on a pure soul lifeform like him.
But since Hughes wasn't willing, Lin Yun took out a few more potions and helped Hughes heal his injuries.
Seeing Hughes' sorry appearance, Lin Yun knew that he could directly give up on the plane he had chosen. To be able to almost kill Hughes, that plane's natives definitely had to be at least level 49, even if they didn't surpass the Heaven Rank. Moreover, there might be more than one of them, and there might be even more Extraordinary Lifeforms.
The first plane he sent Hughes to investigate was the plane most suitable for the Gilded Rose's current needs. That plane was large enough and very suitable for growing medicinal ingredients, magic plants, and the like. Almost all medicinal ingredients could be grown in that plane. Unfortunately, as expected, that plane was too dangerous. Even a guy like Hughes, who didn't give a damn about anyone, was almost killed.
Next, they could only settle for the next best thing and choose other planes one by one. After healing Hughes' injuries, he let Hughes rest for a while and gave him a few aristocratic desserts. Silly Bird immediately forgot that she was almost killed just now and started to brag about what happened just now …
"Sir Merlin, I was chased by a Level 48, oh no, a Level 49 Soul Eater. When I appeared, I was right in front of that Soul Eater's mouth. How could that guy let go of the great Sir Hughes? He chased after Sir Hughes, and I had no choice but to bring him to a silver planet with terrifying gravity.
Haha, that idiot thought it was enough to imitate the soul power I used. He must have been dumbfounded. This daddy has a body and a spatial bloodline. That idiot's soul power in the end was to trap himself in place. It's a pity that Grandpa Bird used the power of the bloodline in my body to escape, tricking that idiot to death … "
Hughes laughed strangely and ate a few noble desserts that were even more valuable than purple gold. He then happily left with the second spatial coordinate given by Lin Yun.
After five minutes, Hughes let out a strange shout as he jumped out of the spatial shadow. His feathers seemed to have been burnt, and his body was emitting the smell of barbecued meat.
"Sir Merlin, save me, I'm going to die, I'm going to die …"
Lin Yun frowned as he looked at Hughes. The Health Potion transformed into a sphere of water that wrapped around Hughes. It took no less than five minutes for Hughes to recover, but the burnt feathers on his body didn't immediately grow back. He looked like a bald chicken that had been stripped of its feathers.
Lin Yun inwardly sighed, he didn't need to think to know what the result would be. He couldn't go to this plane for the time being. Hughes, an existence with unparalleled escaping abilities, had been burnt to a bald chicken. If he went there himself, he would be instantly killed.
After sorting out the spatial coordinates in his hands, Lin Yun discarded most of them. He could give up 99% of the suitable planes that caught his eye. The spatial coordinates of these planes could be considered relatively prosperous and rich in mana. Regardless of who controlled these planes, they were either powerhouses or extremely dangerous forbidden lands that would kill anyone who entered.
After discarding most of the planes with the best conditions, he only had three spatial coordinates left. These were the three worst planes he had picked out from the spatial coordinates. They were also the three weakest planes. But this weakness was only in comparison to the previous planes. With Lin Yun's current strength, they were still very powerful.
He had Hughes travel through space once more to investigate. There was no hope for the first two planes. The spatial coordinates indicated that one of them was a slumbering beast of at least level 48, while the other was the lair of a terrifying race. Hughes' body had almost been destroyed there.
In the end, only one plane remained. Lin Yun frowned, somewhat dissatisfied. Although that plane could satisfy the needs of the Gilded Rose, it was the worst plane among the planes that suited the Gilded Rose's needs.
After sighing, Lin Yun had Hughes scout again. In less than ten minutes, Hughes returned, and the results were pretty good. There was no danger in the surroundings of the spatial coordinates. It was very spacious and didn't have any danger.
But Lin Yun wasn't happy at all. The only suitable plane was a very special plane. That plane's spatial barrier was very weak compared to the other planes. Moreover, that spatial coordinate was in the starry sky. Opening a Planar Path would also appear in the starry sky. If he wanted to enter that plane, he would have to break through that plane's spatial barrier. Moreover, because of the special nature of that plane, it was simply impossible to arrange a stable Planar Path inside the plane.
After confirming that there was no danger, Lin Yun had Hughes take him to take a look. After a few seconds, Hughes used spatial power to adjust the frequency of the spatial fluctuations around Lin Yun to the same level as his own. He then took Lin Yun and disappeared from Noscent.
When he reappeared, he was in a boundless starry sky. There was nothing in the surrounding hundreds of millions of kilometers. Only a few hundred million kilometers away, there was a huge star burning with scarlet flames that was constantly releasing heat.
Looking at the empty void, Lin Yun silently calculated for a bit before sensing in a certain direction. After a dozen minutes, he finally felt a different fluctuation in that straight line.
That trace of strange fluctuations that occasionally appeared was the result of the slight collision between the Space Barrier of this plane and the overlapping area here. This kind of situation, even after tens of thousands of years, was very rare.
Being able to find a way to enter a certain plane in the endless void was a matter of luck. Only someone like Lin Yun, who knew the specific location ahead of time and knew the specific and precise direction to search after arriving here, would be able to find that way.
Otherwise, finding a breakthrough point in this boundless void that was at most a few kilometers in size would be more difficult than finding a grain of sand in Noscent's Endless Sea.
After carefully sensing for a bit, Lin Yun had Hughes take him back. After a few seconds, Hughes and Lin Yun disappeared from this starry sky.
This kind of spatial shuttle consumed a lot of power, and Hughes could only take Lin Yun with him. Every time he used it, it would take a lot of time. Without making sure that there was no danger, he simply couldn't use it.
After returning to Noscent, Lin Yun had a headache as to how to conquer that special plane. Conquering it should be relatively easy, but the special nature of that plane also contained huge dangers. It could only be entered from the starry sky, and they couldn't station a large amount of power in that plane for a long time.
This was the experience of losing many powerhouses in the future. Thus, in the future, the location of that spatial coordinate was a huge void island. It was forcibly created by Noscent's mages in the void. Even the people stationed there were still very far from the entrance of that plane. If the Gilded Rose wanted to develop that plane, they would inevitably need to station themselves at the entrance of the Planar Barrier.
If that was the case, they would need a magic battleship, and it would be a necessity. Although there wasn't a single barren planet in the vicinity, no one could be 100% certain about what would happen in the void. Defending against the invasion of outer space lifeforms and other spies was a necessity. Only magic battleships could do that.
The Intrepid could appear in battle, but the Intrepid itself could be said to be a special lifeform. It was a huge battleship made from a God's body. Although it didn't have a soul, it could be considered a kind of lifeform. The Intrepid itself had an imprint of the Raging Flame Plane, so it could only be stationed in a small plane attached to the Raging Flame Plane or in the Raging Flame Plane for a long time. It couldn't be stationed elsewhere for a long time.
The Intrepid had the body of a God as its keel and was terrifyingly powerful. But in this kind of situation, it became a kind of flaw. The Intrepid could be used in battle, but it needed a magic battleship for a long time.
But in this era, magic battleships were at most in the beginning stage. Even Agalon only had a five-hundred-meter-long steel battleship. A five-hundred-meter-long steel battleship was instantly torn to pieces by a Star Behemoth. This was simply impossible in the future.
If a five-hundred-meter-long Titled Magic Battleship encountered a situation like last time, it would take at most three minutes to tear that Star Behemoth apart. And the mages controlling the magic battleship only needed to be experienced Archmages.
The best type of battleship that appeared in Noscent was the floating battleship. That kind of battleship wouldn't even be qualified to be a transport battleship during Noscent's peak, even seven or eight millennia later. At most, it would be used as a garbage ship to dispose of magic waste.
Agalon's steel battleship could only be used as a means of transportation. It could only deal with some small drifting meteors in the void to save a mage's strength. In a real battle, no matter what kind of battle it was, that steel battleship would only be a live target.
Even the lowest magic battleship, a hundred-meter-long magic battleship controlled by a few Great Mages, could easily tear apart a few dozen of those steel battleships.
Lin Yun frowned as he racked his brains, but he felt a headache coming on. One of his subordinates, the Firerock Dwarves, had always been on the Intrepid. He had sent many alchemists to research the Intrepid, but they hadn't been able to find anything after such a long time. The Intrepid itself was a very high level Heaven Grade Array, and the results of the research could only be said to have barely laid a foundation. Relying on his subordinates to create a magic battleship was impossible, at least not in a short time.
Moreover, the Gilded Rose's business was getting bigger and bigger, and the number of alchemists they needed was also increasing. Low Rank Alchemists were easy to deal with, they only needed to recruit them and then sign a contract with the Gilded Rose.
But to create a magic battleship in a short time, even if it was the lowest magic battleship, the alchemists needed were mainly Artisans. At the very least, they needed to be Master Alchemists. Moreover, they had to have a certain foundation, have a good understanding of the current magic battleships, and have even researched many valuable technologies.
Lin Yun sighed. The construction of a magic battleship was a huge project. It wasn't something that one or two people could handle. Even he couldn't grasp all the details of a magic battleship by himself. He only knew the general direction, the direction of the technology's development, and the most crucial part of the magic battleship. Lin Yun could understand any technology, but it was impossible to build a magic battleship.
Where could he find a bunch of Master Alchemists? Apart from the Starry Sky College, Lin Yun really couldn't think of any other place.
There were many alchemy forces, and there were also a few forces that had a good relationship with the Gilded Rose. Moreover, the City in the Sky's alchemists were the most suitable for researching magic battleships. Magic battleships and the City in the Sky's main research direction were similar in general, they only branched out in different directions.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for Lin Yun to borrow this kind of alchemist from the City in the Sky. If he asked, they would definitely be very happy. After all, this kind of alchemist couldn't be given to the Gilded Rose for free. After helping them, he would have to return them to the City in the Sky. No matter which alchemy force it was, a Master Alchemist was a cornerstone, while an Artisan was the core of the research.
Only the Starry Sky College, a holy land of alchemy with few rules, could poach so many High Rank Alchemists. And with Agalon there, even if an Alchemist was poached to the Gilded Rose, it wouldn't be a problem. In any case, Agalon was already prepared to hand over the Starry Sky College to Lin Yun. In the end, it would still be his. Moreover, Agalon would be more than happy to let these alchemists follow him to learn some advanced alchemy techniques.
The three deans of the Starry Sky College should definitely know about this matter. As long as he went to look for some Master Alchemists and Artisans, it shouldn't be too difficult.
After the news of Lin Yun leaving the Gilded Rose and going to the Starry Sky College spread, some people couldn't sit still.
In the Rodney Family, Wilder was listening to his subordinate's report with an anxious expression.
"What? Over twenty Heaven Rank Puppets appeared in the Gilded Rose's caravan, and Mafa Merlin went to the Starry Sky College? "
Wilder's expression was unsightly, cold sweat dripping down his back.
'I knew this wasn't over. That Mafa Merlin didn't react much when someone attacked his caravan, he only passively defended. This is too strange. No, this is definitely wrong.
'Those twenty Heaven Rank Puppets must have been gifted to him by the Great Astral Warlock. Only the Starry Sky College could do something like that. The sudden appearance of so many Heaven Rank Puppets means that the attackers suffered disastrous losses. Mafa Merlin couldn't just let it go. Now, he went to the Starry Sky College to ask for help.
'Mafa Merlin definitely doesn't know who attacked his caravan, but he definitely won't give up even if he can't find out. As long as he goes to the Starry Sky College for help, with the Great Astral Warlock there, the three deans of the Starry Sky College will definitely help Mafa Merlin. At that time, those idiots definitely won't be able to hide. Offending the Great Astral Warlock, offending the Starry Sky College, they can forget about developing in the Odin Kingdom.
'As long as the Great Astral Warlock says a word, even the Odin royalty will definitely give him face and help suppress those idiots.
'Damn, I shouldn't have listened to those two sluts and dealt with Mafa Merlin. Now, if he finds out that those two sluts came to the Rodney Family, I won't be able to explain myself. This time, the Great Astral Warlock definitely won't be merciful.
