Fifty-seven days. This was the time it took for Odessa's gigantic body to turn around and reach the Gem Pit. And this was the result of the white jade snake moving forward day and night without rest.
Lin and Fen, especially Lich who had a new body, could not work with the elemental creatures. They were ordinary carbon-based creatures. They needed to eat and rest. Of course, they also had many physiological needs that needed to be satisfied. Even so, these fifty-seven days allowed them to create a miracle, a miracle of building a new elemental creature system.
Although it was as Lin Huang had expected, which was to go from machine language to programming language, and then go back to building artificial intelligence, and then communicate with the Snake King in the human way. But using a different method of communication from pictures, such a small goal should be achieved … The new method was mathematical formulas.
If there was a hard truth in this world that was universal, no matter what dimension it was, it must be inhuman mathematics. No matter who calculated it, 1 + 1 = 2 was the truth. Therefore, mathematics became the collective will of the Snake King Odessa, a tool to accurately express its meaning.
This first began when the Snake King communicated with the small elemental creatures parasitized on its body. At first, it used a string of numbers, then mathematical symbols were added. Sometimes it was a formula, sometimes it was just a set of simultaneous equations. This group of elemental creatures used this special way to express their feelings and communicate with each other.
At first, when Lin Huang saw the Snake King and the little guys showing each other irregular numbers and mathematical symbols, he did not understand what they were doing. He thought that the two of them were playing with the program until they crashed and entered an endless loop. But when Odessa tried to use the same method to communicate with Lin Huang again, Lin Huang realized that this was their new way of talking.
However, this way of communication was more difficult for Lin Huang than the picture communication, which he had a foundation in psychology. After trying to communicate for a long time, Lin Huang only understood a small part of the meaning of mathematical symbols and formulas. For example, the irrational number pi represented curiosity. The symbol that the Snake King liked to use, the square root, represented balance, perfection, and harmony.
However, the difficulties that one encountered were nothing to another person. Fen's intelligence and math skills allowed her to understand the "mathematical language" used by the elemental creatures. She used it skillfully to communicate with the snake king and the other little ones. Looking at the group of people chatting enthusiastically, the feeling of living like a dog for the first half of his life was experienced by someone else.
However, no matter how the two parties felt, they had arrived at their destination, which meant that it was time to part. At this sad moment, Lin's eyes were filled with inversely proportional functions, no matter how big or small they were. Even Fen felt a little sad.
'I'm constantly approaching my goal, but I'll never truly reach it.' It was as if a little lamb had been abandoned by its entire clan and could only wander alone in an unfamiliar wilderness. Someone inexplicably felt it.
Perhaps it was because Lin and Fen would use Blink to return to Estali's house in the Mysterious Holy City during these 50 days when they needed to eat or sleep. Whether it was the Snake King or the other little creatures, they could neither keep up nor track of the human mage. They could only passively wait for the appearance of a certain human mage. This made this group of little fellows who had developed a sense of attachment feel panic and uneasiness.
Lin scratched his head. To be honest, he was a little at a loss now. What did it feel like to be ready to leave, but the others returned with feedback? It felt like he had left a bunch of half-grown children at home and was not going to return.
… Did he really have to carry out the "scumbag" that the Lich spoke of in this world far away from Earth?
Well, there were some things that he really could not do. Also, from the perspective of benefits, maintaining contact and friendship with the Snake King was undoubtedly the possibility of having another helper or fighter. There was no reason for him not to do it.
However, what should he do to make them feel at ease? And how should he explain it to Odessa?
After thinking about it, Lin opened his right palm and flipped it again. In the next instant, a ring with a flowing golden light appeared in his palm. This ring corresponded to his unique ring. It belonged to the seven rings of the second level and was named the "Golden Wheel" ring.
Holding it in his hand and holding it forward, Lin also showed a set of simultaneous equations that had an extremely large number of solutions. He tried to convey that no matter how far two lines extended, they would still intersect in the end.
Perhaps the Snake King understood what he wanted to convey, but they seemed to be bargaining and showed a set of simultaneous equations of sinusoidal curves.
Was this the meaning of "Only one intersection point is not enough, we have to have an infinite number of them"?
Lin's face grew on his head, so he did not have to use emojis to reply. After smiling and nodding in agreement, he held the ring in his hand and showed the unique ring on his finger.
Would Odessa be able to understand this kind of expression?
Just as Lin was worrying, a large amount of plasma suddenly overflowed from the core area of the elves and intertwined into the shape of a human arm. The hand reached out towards Lin, reaching for the ring in his palm.
He did not know if it was the influence of magnetism or some other force. The Golden Wheel Ring floated from Lin's palm and slowly floated towards the arm made of plasma. It went into the finger that was wearing the unique ring.
The plasma arm with the Golden Wheel Ring on it retracted and was kept by the Snake King Odessa into the huge jade core.
He confirmed that Odessa had accepted the ring and that the connection with the unique ring was not blocked by the jade core. Lin took a few steps back and held Fen's hand. He bowed towards the core of the elves and made a mage's salute.
These days, whenever he was about to leave, he would always do this. It was just that the previous departures were temporary. This time, it was time to say goodbye. He did not know when they would meet again.
Just before he flashed away, a limit symbol appeared on the surface of the jade core. This symbol was very interesting. Although it was mathematically 'approaching', they would also use it to represent 'stopping'. Of course, Lin stopped his actions temporarily to see what the Snake King meant by stopping him.
He did not have to wait for long. The huge jade core that stored the Elemental Lord's elves shook for a while and separated into a small piece of jade the size of a fist. It was carried by the flow of plasma and sent to Lin.
Was this an exchange of gifts? Or an exchange of tokens?
Lin put the jade ball into his arms. Lin felt that this was not just a simple jade. There was some kind of power hidden in it. However, he was not in a hurry to study it now. He could go back and slowly study it.
This time, Odessa did not stop him from flashing away. However, the two of them did not go far. Lin Hefen flashed to the body of the giant white jade snake. She stood on the snake's head and looked towards the west.
Against the afterglow of the setting sun, what was in front of her was a group of extremely beautiful palaces that were refracted with dazzling brilliance. For a moment, she felt as if she was in the Kingdom of the Gods. It was as if she could safely enjoy the happiness after death after entering the kingdom, just like the Einherjars who were summoned to the Kingdom of the Gods.
