It took a lot of time and effort to convert the Arcane Eye's observation results into a 2D map output. Although it could be converted into a 3D close-up view, it was only limited to buildings or mazes. The distant view would be distorted.
Now, they had to rely on Fen's help. The most important thing was to add the variation of the surface of the earth so that the distant view would look exactly the same as what they saw in real life. Therefore, they had to adjust the map's imaging program to restore the actual distant view that people would see when they stood in the map.
It was just adding the surface of the earth as a parameter, but Kaya couldn't do it. She could do it, but it would take her several times longer than Lich. Therefore, they had to ask Fen to do it while they worked together. With the cooperation of the two, the distant view was quickly restored.
At the same time, in the room, other than the coffin placed on the small table in the center, the scenery in the room changed under the effect of the illusion to the target position looking in all directions, far and near. It was as if people were in the middle of the room and could see the mountains and houses in the distance.
Under Vana's praises, the group found the place where she grew up among the five or six candidates. When she saw the familiar scene, she couldn't help but pout and burst into tears. When she was alone, she wanted to go back to her hometown countless times, but she couldn't do it. Now, she could see the grass, trees, mountains, and blue sky of her hometown again. How could she not be excited?
After Vana calmed down, Lin asked again, "You said you saw the Devil Moth King at a lake. How long does it take to walk from your village to the lake? Do you walk at the pace of an adult or a child? "
"Boss, I remember when I was in my teens, I would walk into the forest every day when the sun came out. I would pick mushrooms along the way and walk to the lake in the early morning. If it was spring, I would pick a kind of wild flower by the lake and bring it home. I remember smelling a very special smell at that time. It was like drinking wine. It was quite pungent. It was at that time that I saw that huge Devil Moth. "
In line with Vana's description, within the estimated distance, there was only a huge lake and a few places that couldn't be considered lakes, but could only be considered puddles. Putting aside the few small puddles, Lin once again changed the real scene in the room to the lake that he suspected to be the target location. He asked Vana to identify it and compare it to the memory of Vana witnessing the Devil Moth King.
Although there were some discrepancies in the details, it could be seen as a change in the environment during the years when he had not returned. Therefore, it was almost certain that this lake was where Vana had seen the Devil Moth King.
After confirming the target location and seeing that it was still early, before midnight, Lin Feng disappeared from the coffin room with a flash.
Among the three people present, it was the first time Vana saw a living person suddenly disappear in front of her eyes. She was really shocked. Fen, who had come to help, curled her lips, dissatisfied that a certain someone had run away without even thanking her. Kaya, on the other hand, was a little disappointed when she realized that her teacher had flashed away. She lowered her head and gloomily said, "Elder Sister, am I very useless? I can't even help with the things that Teacher wants me to do."
"You just realized it now?" Instead of comforting her, the Lich ruthlessly stabbed her in the back. Out of nowhere, he took out a tobacco pipe that he rarely used. After slowly stuffing himself with the tobacco, he did not use magic. Instead, he took out a flint and struck it with it.
Kaya consciously took the flint and skillfully struck a spark to light the tobacco.
She took a deep breath, rolled it in her chest, and exhaled a long puff of white smoke. Fen said, "Don't think too much. When he needs your help, your teacher will order you around in circles. Before that, do your best to improve yourself. "
"Won't Teacher be in danger?" Kaya asked again.
"That person always leaves some leeway when doing things. There is no one who can hurt him. Don't worry about his life or death. Worry about whether you will drag him down first. "
The black-haired, brown-skinned girl, who was unceremoniously ridiculed, pouted in dissatisfaction. However, she did not dare to complain.
"My Lords." At this time, Vana suddenly spoke and asked, "Where did the boss go?"
"Here." Without saying anything, Fen used the tobacco pipe to point at the scenery around her.
Although Vana was an ordinary person, she lived in the Holy City and was influenced by what she saw and heard. Of course, she knew all kinds of magical things that mages did. In addition, she had heard various rumors about that mage a while ago. Although she had guessed in her heart, she had never been able to confirm it.
Now that she saw the indescribably beautiful woman's expression, she finally believed that the mages really did travel hundreds of kilometers in an instant and had the means to bring back these scenes of their hometown. This made Vana unable to help but reveal an expression of envy and yearning.
"Do you want to go home?" Fen looked at Vana, who was reminiscing and asked.
"Lord Fen, I …"
"If you need, I will have Kaya give you the map, or at least know the way. However, I still hope that you can stay and help for a few years. At least, you can bring up those two brats. When they are old enough, if you still want to go back, I will have that guy give you another sum of money. "
Fen said these flattering words because she was really annoyed by those two little devils. It was not easy to have someone to take care of them, how could she let them go so easily. After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and let them leave. After all, this coffin room was one of the places that Vana was not allowed to enter. The usual cleaning was also done by the two apprentices.
The woman, who still retained her charm, retreated obediently. Previously, she had the idea of going back to her hometown because life in the Holy City was too difficult. She almost could not live anymore, so she wanted to go back to a place she was familiar with. However, since there was a well-paid job here, and it seemed that there were no troublesome matters between men and women, that idea faded away.
Letting her children grow up safely was her only thought now. It was not that important where they grew up.
As for the man who came alone hundreds of kilometers away from the Holy City, of course, he did not know about the situation at home. Who could expect an otaku to be sensitive about the matters between men and women? Even if an otaku reached the max level and advanced to a profession, he would only become a tool. It was impossible for him to become a love saint.
However, those things were never in his thoughts. Of course, he came to this big lake from afar to find any clues about the Devil Moth King. As for why he came at night instead of waiting until tomorrow morning, it was not because he was impatient, but because some magic effects or traces would only appear at night. During the day, they would disappear without a trace due to other interference.
Night vision was not a big problem for a certain someone. For him now, although he did not have infrared eyes, X-ray eyes, laser eyes, or the like, the clues collected by various detection magic could still be reorganized and reorganized, allowing him to see the environment clearly.
He wanted to save himself the trouble and tie an Arcane Eye here to observe everything that was happening in the lake at any time. Unfortunately, there was no high ground or cliff nearby where he could place the Arcane Eye.
If he found a random tree and tied the Arcane Eye, there was no guarantee that the carnivorous hunters in the forest would eat this evil god-transformed, moving thing as food. It might not be destroyed, but if it was eaten and ran around, it would be quite troublesome.
It was also because he had personally made this trip that Lin Cai truly felt the breath of autumn. The autumn night in the Land of Enchantment had its own charm. It was very different from the sultry weather from a while ago. The temperature gradually dropped every day, but today, it was just the most comfortable temperature by the lake. The moon was half hidden in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly. Insects were chirping, and some nocturnal birds were chirping.
Standing alone by the lake, looking at the sky and the moon on the lake, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he had just transmigrated. Compared to the excitement of "I've f * cking transmigrated," he felt more lonely. The unfinished anime, the five-star story that he might not be able to see the ending even if he didn't transmigrate, and the D slot collection — all of these were indeed far away from him.
The modern leisurely life, the comfort and enjoyment of being an otaku, nothing was left. What replaced it was the urgency of life, and even the threat of death. As a modern person who did not know anything about food and did not work hard, he had rashly tried to catch a rabbit for lunch. It was fine if he could not catch it, but he had almost been killed instead!
Then, an indescribable sense of fear attacked him. When it came to talking, everyone could be arrogant; when it came to real life, others might not know, but he was very sure that he had become a little tramp. It was really not easy to live through those days. He really couldn't understand how strong the mentality of those who could calmly analyze and quickly enter the situation after transmigrating was … or how perverted.
While he was letting his imagination run wild and feeling sad, a rustling sound of a cat entered his ears.
At first, it sounded like a regular male or female cat in heat, but he did not expect that the magical beast language translation program he had compiled in the Dream Magic Tower would actually start working. This was a translation program designed based on the dragon language.
The communication between beasts was not like the communication between sapiens creatures that used pronunciation and word meaning to convey their meaning. Instead, they used sound as a carrier and put their thoughts in it. The receiver would accept the meaning contained in the sound and understand what the other party was trying to express. It was like how humans used music to express their love, anger, and other feelings.
The higher the level of the magical beast, the more thoughts it could carry in its sound. And this kind of language, at the extreme, was the dragon language. At this level, it was just like the language that ordinary people knew, with pronunciation and meaning.
That was to say, knowing the dragon language, the other beast languages were not a problem. As for whether the sound was a roar or a meow, it didn't matter. It was like gongs and drums that could make sounds, although the sounds were different, the key was the rhythm. The dragon language, and even the beast language, was similar.
And the meaning of this sound was:
"Why is there a human running into the forest in the middle of the night?"
"Is he lost?"
"He looks stupid, should I take him out of the forest?"
"No, no, no, I think we should just scare him and make him leave on his own."
