Seeing that her friend was catching up, Kaya wanted to move as well. Unfortunately, the support spell she cast on herself didn't have a spell that was good at movement. By the time she cast Jump and Float, two spells that were very suitable for traveling, Halloumi was already quite far away.
Since Fen had never shown her physical limits, there was no way to compare. The blonde girl's current mobility, after a year of training and conditioning, was probably the best among the three of them.
While Kaya was preparing and Lin was still dumbfounded, she had already crossed half the hill and was chasing after the bandit group, ready to enter the forest.
If they started now, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up. So, Lin grabbed the black-haired girl who was about to rush out and said, "Why are you chasing? I've said it before, don't chase a cornered enemy, don't enter a forest. This crazy girl has it all. We have to teach her a lesson. "
"Teacher, if you don't chase and let Halloumi go into the forest, the result will be worse." Kaya rarely voiced her concern.
"That's true," Lin agreed. "I think we should catch her first and talk about other things later."
In an instant, his teacher's figure disappeared from his sight. When he reappeared, he was in midair and put the crazy girl down on the ground. The next moment, Halloumi landed on the ground, and Lin flashed back to his original position.
"How did I …!" The blonde girl who was caught didn't finish her sentence. She was vomiting on the ground as if she had severe motion sickness.
Seeing the girl's terrible state, Lin had to reflect. "Looks like this spell isn't suitable for carrying people."
Instead, the two people next to her looked at her in surprise … Skeletons might not have eyes, but the yellow flames in their eye sockets showed that her curiosity was no less than Kaya's. Fen asked directly, "What did you just do?"
"Yeah." For a moment, Lin didn't know where to start. But when he saw that Halloumi's limbs were weak and she was about to fall into the pile of vomit she had just vomited, Lin picked her up from the side and walked toward the caravan. At the same time, he said, "Let's leave first. We'll talk about the rest on the way."
Since he wasn't of any help, Lin didn't go near the half-destroyed caravan to avoid a misunderstanding. Especially when the survivors were looking at them with angry expressions and alerted them. There were many people who would take advantage of the situation in the Mystic Lands, and there were also many who would reap the benefits after both sides suffered great losses. It was very difficult to gain the trust of others if they approached under such circumstances.
Instead of stepping forward to explain and express goodwill, it was better to go their separate ways. Furthermore, he had a skeleton by his side. How was he going to explain its existence to the others, and how was he going to convince them that he was on the side of justice? Just thinking about it gave him a headache. Just like that, this chance encounter with bandits quickly came to an end.
Inside the carriage, the blonde girl was no longer as energetic as she had been recently. Instead, she was leaning sickly against a pile of wooden boxes. When she saw her teacher enter the car, her eyes were filled with resentment and doubt.
Lin didn't respond to the three pairs of puzzled eyes immediately. Instead, he said to Kaya, "Let's leave first. If we stay here, those people won't feel at ease. Let's clean up the mess. "
The girl understood and sat in the driver's seat. With a flick of the reins, she urged the horse away from the battlefield.
However, Hallumi seemed to be unwilling. Looking at the miserable scene outside the carriage and the direction in which the bandits had left, she asked first, "Teacher, why didn't you stay to help those people? Why did you let those bandits go?"
"How can you be sure that the caravan is a good person who deserves to be helped, and that the bandits are bad people who deserve to die?"
"Isn't that the case?" the girl said somewhat angrily.
"Is it possible that those bandits have a group of hungry children in their home? If their father, who only knows how to rob, didn't bring back anything that could be exchanged for food, one, two, three, or four of them would starve to death. And those caravans actually took over the poor families' property. They used extremely low prices to buy goods from others so that they could earn more money. If that's the case, who is the good person and who is the bad person? "
"This …" Hallumi was suddenly at a loss for words. She stammered, "This can't be true, right?"
"Of course it can't be true, because I'm just making things up."
Hearing someone's words, Hallumi pouted and was about to get angry. However, Lin beat her to it and said, "Even if I'm just making things up, what I said, is it possible for it to happen?"
That question not only caused Hallumi to ponder, even Kaya, who was sitting in the driver's seat with her ears stretched out, lowered her head and pondered. Lin did not intend to let them think too much. He directly gave the answer. "I'm not saying that robbery is allowed, but when we see a battle, the only thing we can do when we don't know what's going on is to help the weaker side. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but should we be so extreme? Should we stop the battle, or should we kill off one side to save the other? "
"But … but if the battle really starts, we might not be able to control it," the girl weakly refuted.
"Of course, I admit it. In the past few years, I've done a lot of bad things. Whenever the Tower of the Great Sage launches an attack, it will sweep away everything without holding back. Because of that, in retrospect, I've made a lot of unnecessary enemies. That's why I'm warning you right now. Leave some leeway when you do things. Especially since they've already run away. We don't know if they've really done all kinds of evil, or if they were just unlucky to run into you on their first robbery attempt. Besides, it's not like they have a death grudge with you. Is there a need for them to chase after you? Also, is their retreat a ploy? Could there be an ambush somewhere, waiting for someone to foolishly chase after them and catch them off guard? Can you be sure that none of those things will happen? If you're really surrounded, and you're alone, and we don't have enough time to support you, what do you think your chances of survival are? Do you want to entrust your life to someone else, like a quail, being chased around by you without being able to resist? Or do you want to guarantee that everyone will be able to save you in time? "
Looking at the girl who was speechless after being scolded, Lin wanted to take advantage of the situation to give this wild girl who had been crazy for more than a year a good lesson. However, Lich seemed to be helping her out. He cut off a certain someone's words and asked, "Alright, that's enough. You have to explain what happened just now. Hmm, is it the Anywhere Door? Or the Einstein-Rosen Bridge that you mentioned before? How did you do it? Also, why did the girl become like this? "
Hallumi, who was originally a little depressed, immediately had a look of accusation when she heard her elder sister speak up for her. She tried to put on a fierce expression and glared at her teacher.
Since the former Demon King had spoken, there was no other urgent matter that could be used as an excuse. If he continued to ignore her, the consequences would be very tragic. Thus, Lin said, "This is indeed the result of studying the World Tree for more than a year. All along, we've thought that the World Tree's advancement required energy to break through the dimensional quadrant, as well as finding the next direction of advancement. Actually, this isn't the most accurate description. The World Tree's body already has the parameters of dimensions. In the words of the Lost Land, it has the coordinates to all the dimensional worlds. But this isn't enough. Because the World Tree needs to grow into another dimensional world, stabilize its existence, and use the energy surges between the dimensions as nutrients to strengthen itself. And to do this, in the process of advancement, it needs a lot of energy to transform itself so that the tree can withstand the impact of energy of different natures from multiple dimensional worlds. "
"Hmm, and then."
Obviously, the bullshit that he just said wasn't the part that Lich wanted to hear. Thus, Lin continued, "Since there are coordinates to other dimensions, then I can use mathematics to calculate the straight-line distance to the destination I want to teleport to. Then, in the several dimensions of space, the warp of the warp can be realized in the three-dimensional space. I can disappear from one place and appear in another place in an instant. And the biggest advantage of programming is that I can write tedious calculations into functions, call them at any time, and obtain the results. And for possible exceptions, I can make a comprehensive response plan. In the end, I only needed a single thought to move to the end point of my calculations. — "
At the same time, Lin looked at the girl who was lying weakly with sore limbs. "— The girl is like this, I think it's because when passing through a multi-dimensional world, all her senses are in chaos at that moment, and there are also energy impacts that are different from the real world. These are the reasons. After all, the magic that I cast on myself contains the runes of the World Tree that protect against dimensional energy impacts. Although it can't compare to the runes that are specifically used to defend against certain dimensional worlds, but for a very short period of time, this rune is enough to protect myself. But it can only protect myself, not the people I brought along. "
In the end, not only did his teacher dig out the secrets of the World Tree, but he also used programmed logic to integrate many complex calculations into the snap of a finger. And most importantly, the program was repeatable. Anyone who got their hands on it could easily use it. So, Fen and the sick Halloumi immediately reached out their hands. If it wasn't for Kaya holding the reins, she would have also reached out her hand.
Looking at the three who reached out their hands, Lin said, "I have the program file in the shared data area of the coffin. Go and look for the file number 9527. All the program code is there. And I was also afraid that I would forget it, so the instructions and annotations are written in detail. If you want to study it, then go and take a look. "
Kaya was the fastest, because she was wearing the glasses that could open the browser's field of view when connected to the coffin. After tapping the frame of the glasses, she entered the textual interface of the coffin. It took Halloumi some time to find the glasses that she didn't know where she put them, then put them on and opened the field of view. Only Fen, who looked like a skeleton, couldn't wear the glasses. But she went directly to the side of the maze version of the personal computer in the coffin, opened the field of view, and operated it.
The shared data area was a storage space on the coffin to facilitate the exchange of files between the four people. Combined with the tree-like directory management, it was easy to find the location of the files mentioned by Lin. They immediately opened it and took a look.
Halloumi only lasted three seconds, then closed the field of view, hugged the blanket, and gloomily prepared to sleep. Kaya lasted a little longer, ten seconds. She couldn't understand the Heavenly Book no matter what, so in the end, she had no choice but to give up. Even the magical genius Lich looked at the thousands of pages of documents, and the soul flame in his eye sockets froze for a long time.
Even if most of the contents of the documents were program code, people who wanted to use it could just copy it. But this thing was not for Spellcasters to use, this was for tower magic!
