Lin had never thought of living in that kind of place. It was really obvious that people who lived in the sky did not have eyes on top of their heads. It was a waste for them to live so high up. They even shamelessly called themselves "people in the sky," which showed how much they despised their compatriots who crawled on the ground.
From many records about the floating city, this point was emphasized again and again. Although a lot of fancy words were used to embellish the real situation, making readers mistakenly think that the floating city was a paradise on earth and that everything inside was beautiful. In fact, all kinds of discriminatory remarks were blatantly displayed in front of everyone, almost to the extent of brainwashing.
It was no wonder that the floating city was also popular among the nobles. In terms of status symbols, what could satisfy the vanity of those noble people more than living in the sky and looking down on all living things from above?
But he did not consider the thoughts of the people living in it, or other people. Just the wonderful scenery of the mountain hanging in the air interested someone very much, and he had always wanted to see it with his own eyes.
It was very rare for him to transmigrate to another world. If he did not look at the scenery here that was different from Earth and only wanted to transform this place into Earth, wasn't it too hard to live?
It was supposed to be such a leisurely afternoon, and some low-level traps were taken by the two apprentices, but the carriage still slowly came to a stop, at an inappropriate time, in an inappropriate place.
"Well, teacher, I might have to ask you to come and take a look." Kaya sat in the driver's seat, turned her head, and called out to someone in the carriage from the front.
Using both hands and feet, Lin climbed to the front of the carriage, through the open front, stretched his head out between the two girls, and asked, "Why did we stop? Is the road broken? Did a tree fall? Or … is there a stupid trap in the middle of the road. "
Without waiting for a reply, Lin had already seen the reason why the carriage had stopped. The road they were on now was far away from the forest, and because there was not much rain, all they could see was wasteland. There were no tall trees nearby, and no weeds could grow. Occasionally, a few short bushes could be seen, which was already rare green.
However, it was such a road, where all they could see was yellow earth, but there was a large circular green … turf in the middle of the road? To be honest, it looked more like a pitiful shrub that had been torn down into branches and laid on the ground instead of grass. Not far away, there were only a few shrubs left without any green leaves.
"This is a trap, right? This is definitely a trap!" Someone commented on the obvious.
However, Kaya, who was in charge of driving, said, "I'm just wondering if such an obvious trap is just bait. The real danger lies in the path we will take when we take a detour."
Regarding the setting of a series of traps, it was actually a series of psychological attacks and defenses. The relevant knowledge had long been taught to the two girls at that time. Although it would be fun to use it to trick those uncivilized Gnomes. But the most important thing was to teach them how to defend themselves, not how to harm others.
Such a large trap almost took up the entire road, leaving very little space for the carriage to pass through. It could be considered a roadblock, not a trap. According to a certain someone's classification, the so-called roadblocks were deliberately set up to guide the direction of others. The purpose was, of course, to guide the target into a trap or a predetermined ambush position. Stopping others from moving forward was the most superficial idea.
So it was no wonder that Kaya was worried that there might be some unexpected surprise hidden in this obvious trap.
Lin didn't waste any more words. He moved to the front of the carriage. Normally, this kind of minesweeping job would be done by the fearless wild girl Halumi. Also, there was no need to deliberately instruct her. This wild girl's usual behavior was actually equivalent to minesweeping, and she was completely unaware of it. So, seeing that she was only slightly injured was really a blessing in disguise.
Now that it was his turn as a teacher to personally carry out such a task, of course, Lin couldn't use his physical body to sweep the mines. He directly cast a tornado spell and swept through the area. Under the strong wind, except for those buried in the ground, no trap could remain the same.
When the dust settled and only a mess was left, all the traps appeared before everyone's eyes. There were no unexpected surprises, nor were there any hidden traps. There was only a huge hole after the branches and weeds covering the top were blown away by the wind.
For such a simple and crude trap, Lin only had one comment: "What a f * cking uncivilized person!"
The hole was more than the height of a person. There were many thorny branches stuck in the bottom, and there were poisonous snakes slithering in the gaps. In all fairness, if one really fell into this trap, even a mage would find it difficult to escape.
But what was the original disguise of this fatal trap? They had heard of unfinished buildings, but they had never heard of unfinished traps. Most importantly, such a huge hole that took up the middle of the road. Who would fill it? It was no wonder that a certain person couldn't help but curse when he saw the true nature of the trap.
After looking around carefully, a certain person was speechless again. There was a small mound not far away. After being ravaged by the tornado, a lot of sand had been blown away. But it was still quite heavy. And what they hadn't noticed at first was that this mound was obviously formed by newly excavated soil. It wasn't a natural landscape that had been formed for a long time.
In other words, the person who had spent so much effort to create this trap hadn't cleaned it up properly at all, so there were flaws everywhere. Wanting to take care of a mage like this? Whose intelligence was this insulting?
What was even more tragic was that they had to clean up the mess for those idiots! Speaking of which, before he transmigrated, he was given the good guy card by the girls, and it was never because he picked up the trash on the ground and threw it into the trash can. Why was it that after he transmigrated, he was doing free work?
While cursing, "Goddamn immoral" and "Cats were born from dogs and raised by pigs", Lin Xian called the two girls to help, and together, they scooped up the poisonous snakes in the hole and threw them into the wilderness. He wanted to directly fill the hole with soil. After all, the thing that the maze didn't lack the most was these poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. Unfortunately, the girl who was preparing to change her profession to a Druid put on a fighting posture and dispelled a certain person's original idea.
Changing his idea and method, although he really wanted to leave a few poisonous snakes, after all, the strong wine made from poisonous snakes was a great tonic. And he expected that his body might be very weak recently, so he really did need to nourish himself. But with poisonous snakes and no wine, in the end, he could only look at them and sigh.
Of course, those reptiles without legs were poisonous, and it was impossible to catch them with bare hands without any protection. But this was a magic-based world, and it was possible to directly scoop up those reptiles with a magic giant palm spell and throw them into the wilderness far away.
What was more troublesome was that those reptiles were slippery. It might not be easy to catch them with bare hands, let alone with the inflexible magic hands.
After a long struggle, they finally cleared out the snakes, and then pushed the small hill of soil back into the hole to fill it. Even though they were using magic, the huge workload still made the master and disciple sweat profusely. Halloumi escaped this disaster because of her leg injury.
Hiding a little further away, the various assassins who were spying on the group of mages from above were also speechless at the scene they saw. Everyone's appearance was similar to the mages who were busy working, and they were all just as disheveled.
Suddenly, a younger assassin said, "Actually, by making the target as tired as a dog, we can be considered to have achieved half of our goal."
A few of the more experienced assassins lowered their heads helplessly. It was too late to regret agreeing to help set up that trap that was so stupid that even they couldn't bear to look at it. This was definitely a black mark in their careers.
Some of the more hot-tempered ones cursed out directly. "Which idiot did the final disguise? Who did he want to make a fool of himself by doing it like this? "
Someone else cursed, "I already said that I don't agree with that kind of big trap. If you insist on doing it when time is of the essence, the result is that everyone is half dead from exhaustion with no results. What's half of our goal if we make that mage sweat a little? "
Of course, those who were hinted at weren't cowards who only took the abuse and didn't fight back. Not to be outdone, they scolded back, "It's easy to say, you know there's not enough time. But when they heard that the target was approaching, they all ran away and left everything to others. Not to mention that this place isn't suitable for a trap from the beginning, there's no good cover around at all. "
"That's right!" A companion next to them, who was also left behind at the last moment to clean up, said angrily, "It's not like we didn't do any preliminary work. Everyone is equally tired, why do we have to be responsible for the final clean-up work, and then be complained about for being useless by you? "
There were also those who tried to smooth things over and promote their own opinions, saying, "If you ask me, don't play these empty games. There's a canyon ahead. Just ambush there and attack this group of people. After the fight is over, there's no need to waste time on this group of people. "
"Attack a group of mages? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brain? Why do I think that's an even stupider idea than that stupid trap? Have you figured out that mage's defensive means? Do you have a way to break through? There's nothing. If you want to die, I won't accompany you. "
"Hmph, a bunch of cowards!"
"If you can do it, do it yourself. Don't think that no one knows how many times you betrayed your companions and abandoned them at the most critical moment just to escape for your own life. Do you think that as long as your companions are dead and you're the only one left alive, no one will know about this kind of thing? Let me tell you, it's still that group of murderers who will brag about these things. "
"Who are you calling a traitor!"
"I'm talking about someone your age who eats human blood to live until now."
The group of people who had been doing useless work for the past few days was temporarily united for the sake of benefits. But the lack of results after a long time seemed to have exhausted most people's patience. Especially the group of people who already had a grudge against each other.
And John Junior, who took the lead to gather this group of people, fell behind the crowd and looked at the group of people biting each other playfully. When these people gathered together, things were no longer under his control. So he quietly withdrew from his original position and didn't let himself get too involved, so he didn't suffer too much loss.
But in fact, from another point of view, his loss was the greatest. Not only did he have the benefits of a magic stone vein, but he also had a comrade who had gone through life and death. Thinking of this, he looked up to the sky and sighed.
