Once again, they arrived at the mysterious land. This time, when they came to this airless world, they were not as flustered as the last time. The various protective spells that they cast on their bodies in advance were of great help.
This time, their destination was also very clear. It was the first elemental creature settlement that they had encountered when they came back to the mysterious land — West Wind Valley. With a clear goal, and having been here before, Lin and Fen did not take any detours and arrived at the outskirts of West Wind Valley in no time thanks to the precise positioning of their Blink spell and mathematics.
They did not directly enter the settlement because they were afraid of scaring their new friends. Therefore, they had to masochistically walk for a while on foot. On the way, Cassette Cutting asked, "I said the only one. Since there is no air in this world, there is no wind. Since there is no wind, don't you think it's strange that this place is called 'West Wind Valley'? "
The "only one" referred to Lin. After the chuunibyou and fat otaku incarnations were cut off one after another, the original Lin became the only one in his own consciousness. That was why Cassette Cutting had such a name. As for asking questions as soon as they arrived at the mysterious land, it was purely out of boredom. On the one hand, Cassette Cutting sensed that Lin's mental state was not quite right, so they chatted and helped distract him.
Sure enough, Lin temporarily put aside his worries and seriously considered Cassette Cutting's question. He replied, "There is no wind in this world, but it doesn't mean that they don't understand the concept of 'wind.' After all, earth, water, fire, and wind are the four major elements. It's impossible that they don't know anything about the other elements. Moreover, this world is often in contact with the outside world and is not completely closed off from the outside world. Therefore, it's not surprising that they know things that don't exist in this world. "
"Is that all? That doesn't explain why they named things. They are all based on the characteristics of the local terrain. So, do you have any other explanations? "Cassette Cutting continued to ask.
Lin did not know whether Cassette Cutting was intentionally reminding him or not, but he calmed down and observed his surroundings. Suddenly, an idea made him switch several vision modes in succession. Finally, he found a clue in one of the modes that calculated the curvature of light.
The view mode that calculated the curvature of light rays was not actually used to look at one's surroundings. It was originally designed to calculate the distance and path of celestial bodies. However, when he observed the phenomenon of spatial distortion in the sky in Estali's house in the Holy City, this vision mode was one of the methods to confirm it. Therefore, the Light Curvature Mode became the main tool Lin used to observe the stability of space.
Under such circumstances, he discovered something special about the West Wind Valley. On the hill to the west of the valley, there was an irregular spatial crack. Judging from the aura leaking out of this crack, the other side might be the Wind Elemental Plane of the Four Elemental Planes. That was because the characteristics of that magic power were similar to the wind elemental spirit that had been summoned in a maze.
On the way to Westwind Valley, Lin told Xiaqe and Fen about his discovery, which surprised both Xiaqe and Fen. This wasn't a pretentious expression of surprise. They really didn't know beforehand.
"So, our next destination is the Elemental Plane of Wind?" Cassette Cutting asked.
Lin didn't agree immediately. Instead, he said, "Let's see how things are going on here first." "If we have time, we can go and explore." "But we have to grasp the things that we can control first." "It's not a good habit to eat from the bowl and look out from the bowl."
"Then." Fen interrupted the conversation between the man and the knife and said, "Shouldn't we first confirm what the situation is in front of us?"
The "situation" that Fen was talking about was that the settlement where the elemental creatures had gathered — Westwind Valley — was now empty. This settlement was not a desolate scene where people had left. Instead, it looked like the people who lived here had left in a hurry. There were overturned objects everywhere, doors and windows that hadn't been closed in time, and some gifts from other worlds.
The latter were the "offerings" that they had obtained from the summoner after being summoned by the magic of the spirits from other worlds. They were not necessarily magic stones or other objects that contained magic power. Moreover, the places that they would go were not just limited to the maze.
Because these were things that could not be found in the maze, even if they were trash in the local area, these elemental creatures would treasure them very much after bringing them back. And these were like medals for their expeditions in other worlds. They could be used as a good topic of conversation and as proof of their own achievements. Now, these things that were very precious to the elemental creatures were scattered all over the settlement in a disorderly manner.
This did not look like a refugee.
Could it be that the time between the Earth Elemental Plane and the maze was different, so …
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was cut off by a certain someone. The reason was that during the two months that he had been in the body of the Snake King Odessa, he had been constantly traveling between the two worlds. There was no time difference. Therefore, even if he came back after more than a month in the maze, there would not be such a drastic change.
Did this change happen recently?
It was a pity that the earth elemental creatures did not make fires. Otherwise, the temperature of the fire and the embers could be used as a basis to judge.
Then, to find the elemental creatures that were originally in this settlement, he could only use the most primitive method — using his eyes to look for clues.
He took out an eight-legged gemstone that was moving restlessly from the brocade bag in his arms. This was not an elemental creature of this world. It was a small magic tool that had been transformed by the Evil God through the corrosion of foreign energy through the Flash spell — the Arcane Eye.
The small Evil God that was held in the palm of his hand ignored the harsh environment of this world. There was no air, and all kinds of strong radiation were nothing to a creature that had mutated after experiencing the environment of the Dimensional Gap. There were special magic patterns on the brocade bag that could suppress its vitality. But as soon as it was free, this little thing could not wait to run away. In other words, running away was one of its instincts.
Of course, Lin would not let the little thing in his hand run away. With a Flash spell, he directly teleported the small Arcane Eye to about seven hundred meters above him in the air. This was the maximum range that the small Arcane Eye could scan the ground. But considering that this was the terrain of a valley and there were hills beside it, the area that could be scanned would be smaller.
The scanning did not take too long. Lin retrieved the Arcane Eye that was teleported into the air before it fell to the ground due to the gravity of the Earth Maze.
This was based on the experience of the fall of Sputnik 1. On these new Eyes of Arcana, Lin Dou carved additional coordinates for positioning. This prevented him from being unable to use the Flash spell to retrieve the Arcane Eye if the visual inspection and calculation speed were slower than the falling speed.
Originally, the retrieved Arcane Eye needed the help of the Head Coffin to process the information inside. But Lin's Secondary Plane Tower that had evolved several times already had the ability to replace the Head Coffin. Although he still had to rely on the Head Coffin to display the image to others, it was not so troublesome if he only needed to confirm the content.
The Arcane Eye in Lin's hand processed the information it detected and projected it into Lin's field of vision without missing a single detail. And within the detection range, Lin quickly found the location of the elemental creatures in the West Wind Valley. But …
"They are in the mine. Looks like they are fighting with their old friends in the Moonlight Bay again. "
"Then, should we wait for them to finish?" Fen asked.
