Stable, reliable, and well-founded.
Wan Qi is right, this really is a more perfect form of mysticism, it almost makes up for all the shortcomings of mysticism.
Of course, it almost completely compensates for it, because some special talents that rely heavily on bloodline inheritance are indeed impossible to force into formulas. The chaotic system randomly generated by nature is something that modern humans cannot calculate clearly.
"It's so warm," Veltine said softly.
Not just because of this flame, but also because of a brand new path.
A third option besides the Foundation and Reincarnation.
It was at this moment that Veltin had an idea. Although it was just an idea at the moment, many great undertakings begin with an idea; the only problem is not daring to think.
"You learn really fast," Wan Qi exclaimed.
Getting started is often the hardest part, especially for systems of extraordinary power. It requires you to re-understand the world. It took Wan Qi three days to get started, since he didn't even have a basic understanding of mystical arts, while it only took him three minutes.
The latter has very delicate mental strength, so the precision of operation is very high, which is very important for mages, especially when operating compound magic. If you are not careful, you may blow yourself up. In terms of talent, Veltin is a UR rainbow skin.
“Wanqi, are you willing to pass on your magic to others?” Veltin asked earnestly.
"Knowledge is like a pool of water; it won't stagnate if it's active, but it can't be spread out indiscriminately either. After all, our ancestors left us great wisdom long ago: 'The law should not be lightly passed on, and the Way should not be sold cheaply.'"
"A very wise judgment, after all, this is a force capable of overturning the order of the world's occult community."
Veltin is now certain that Wan Qi doesn't possess any special knowledge, but rather a mature, inheritable, and learnable magical system. The value of this system is a fatal blow to the current Foundation and the Remodeling Hand. In addition, Wan Qi can also provide red crystals to shield against "Rainstorm," making him the third force.
After a moment of silence, Veltin extinguished the fireball in her palm, took off her hat, and asked in a sincere and earnest tone, "Wanqi, do you really want to change this world?"
"Why are you suddenly asking me this?"
"Because you are the third option."
Wan Qi instantly understood what Virtue meant.
"You mean you hope I can actually do something in your world, right?"
"Yes."
"Let me think twice."
This wasn't a casual chat like before; Virtin's face truly screamed, "I'm about to do something big."
Wan Qi wasn't worried about whether he could handle the situation; what worried him was that he couldn't possibly apply the Da Xi Wang model to every problem. Destruction and construction are two different concepts, and dealing with people is very troublesome, especially with those who sit in offices. Every word they say carries a hundred hidden meanings—it's exhausting.
Virtue nodded and said nothing more.
Meanwhile, the sonnets encountered some trouble.
They were discovered.
The St. Love Foundation is a global organization with a vast amount of resources at its disposal, including divination. The only minor problem is that, due to Wan Qi's overpowered shielding effect, six of the foundation's seven diviners were instantly killed, literally having their heads blown off, physically eliminating any possibility of divination.
This indicates that the other party's occult level far exceeds the diviner's own ability, and the conceptual world is also in their favor. It's equivalent to the whole world working against you when you're doing divination.
That's no way to predict anything. Even a joint divination won't work. You might be able to twist the thigh with your arm, but you definitely can't twist an excavator.
Just when the foundation was feeling hopeless, they located the signal of the sonnet.
Imagine how the human faction trains its new generation of mystics; it would be strange if they didn't leave some kind of marking signal on those children. This signal also serves to determine whether one's own personnel on a mission are still alive. Through life and death, and their state of being, many things can be determined.
Of course, if this were discovered, it would be just like the Prism scandal, which would greatly shake the position of the Human Party within the Foundation. Therefore, this backdoor would only be opened under very special circumstances.
There's another problem: if the sonnet remains in the box, the effect will fail. The shielding effect that Wan Qi applied to Virtin's suitcase using the power of the Red Sea World is quite powerful, so the Foundation will probably become suspicious again.
But Sonnet has been feeling restless lately, so she went outside to get some fresh air, and then, well, you know.
The foundation then located the sonnet's location and the spot where she disappeared, and quickly came to their door.
When news of the discovery of the Veltin team spread, the entire St. Love Foundation leadership was overjoyed, but then a bucket of cold water was poured on them – the box couldn't be opened.
It's literally unopenable. Whether by physical means or magic, Virtue's suitcase has suddenly become as tough as a neutron star. No matter how you try to open it, it's unbreakable.
Now the foundation's top management is at a loss again. What's going on?
The Foundation has other suitcases with similar functions, but Wilting's is special because only she can use it. Now, with the added protection from Vanchi, it's truly "no one or no dog allowed inside."
In desperation, the Foundation attempted divination again, and the surviving diviner also died, in the exact same way as the previous six, effectively wiping out the Foundation's most valuable divination force.
This scene, however, quickly calmed down the senior management of the St. Love Foundation.
Could it be, perhaps, maybe, possibly, or even impossible, that magician Wan Qi from Zhen Dan is also inside!? The information previously reported by the action team is now top-secret information of the Foundation. After confirming through various methods that these people were not under illusion but had actually seen those scenes, Constantine and other senior members of the Foundation immediately switched to cautious mode.
We can't touch the box anymore! What if the person inside has a bad temper in the morning? The foundation might be in trouble!
The box is now at the St. Love Foundation headquarters. The thought of having an extra nuclear bomb in his home, which he himself had moved in so hastily, makes those who initially supported the forceful action want to slap themselves.
You've been so assertive, so sharp-tongued, so self-righteous. Now you're in a bind.
But Constantine, having been through it all, still keenly identified a breakthrough point.
“The sonnet girl is also in the box; she can be of help to us.”
Ms. Z, standing nearby, frowned. She disliked Constantine's way of doing things, just as she had used Virtine's friends to make Virtine follow the path she envisioned.
"I don't think sonnets can play a significant role, especially considering that Your Excellency is involved."
Ms. Z's words silenced the other senior executives present, which was also their biggest concern at the moment.
"If the other party is really inside, why doesn't he talk to us directly? Or is he currently unable to communicate?"
Constantine's words rekindled everyone's hope.
Yes, given the opponent's strength, if he were present, why would he be avoiding him like this? Is he not present, or was he also severely injured in the battle with Arcana?
If it's the former, then the crisis is resolved; if it's the latter, then could the foundation take advantage of the situation...?
The probability of one unfavorable possibility being met with two favorable possibilities is already quite tempting.
Ms. Z realized the atmosphere in the meeting was off, so she reminded them, "Don't forget their strength. They have the power to destroy Chicago. We're not as big as Chicago here."
The atmosphere at the meeting froze again.
But Constantine said, "Even if that gentleman is dissatisfied, things may not necessarily develop in a way that is detrimental to everyone. Communication and exchange are very important. What do you all think?"
This was actually Constantine using the potential huge benefits to persuade everyone in the meeting.
Of course there are risks, but none of the people present are the kind who can't take any risks at all. As long as the benefits are big enough, the risks can be ignored.
The other party does have the capability to blow up the foundation, but it's unlikely they'll overturn the table right away.
After all, the foundation is huge. We are a global organization. Just kidding. Even Arcana of the Reincarnation of the Hand wouldn't dare to be this arrogant. They just have some cards to play, while we have even more.
In this way, Constantine got the result he wanted and gained the support of most people at the meeting. The group decided to make a breakthrough from the sonnets, at least to get someone in the box to come out and talk. Once they talked, they could get the information inside.
Sonnet is undeniably loyal to the foundation, especially since the other party is just a young girl who is easily fooled.
Soon, the foundation mobilized a group of psychological warfare experts, who then shouted from outside the box that if Sonnet was willing to come out and communicate, they would have succeeded halfway.
The foundation is determined to win this victory!
Section 39: With a little hand raised, the building says goodbye.
(One more chapter to go, please vote and leave comments (**3胤))
Good morning, welcome to Lungmen, an adventurer's paradise, an eastern free port, a place where dreams can come true. The miracle of money flowing through this city nourishes this mobile city. Are you ready to enter?
At the entrance, exit, and helipad—wherever transportation passes, you can see the slogan "Welcome to Lungmen," written in a style similar to traditional Chinese characters.
Rhodes Island's aircraft slowly landed on the Lungmen helipad, and a team of elite operators disembarked, including Kal'tsit, Amiya, Vanchi, and Veldine.
This is already considered Rhodes Island's all-star roster.
They were greeted by a capable policewoman – Inspector Chan (Chan Fai-kit).
This woman makes a striking first impression. She is tall and slender, with long, deep blue hair tied in a signature low ponytail that cascades over her shoulders. Her sharp, crimson eyes, like tempered blades, carry a piercing scrutiny. Her face is cold and refined, and she often wears a black uniform trench coat over a sleeveless white shirt, a leather belt cinching her waist to accentuate her sharp shoulders and long legs. Her overall attire is as sharp and capable as a drawn blade. A steely resolve and a sharp edge are fused within her, forming the indomitable backbone unique to a senior superintendent in Lungmen.
Two lines of impromptu poetry involuntarily surfaced in Wan Qi's mind: "Dragon horns tempered by frost and snow, crimson blades cleaving shadows and burning away traces of sin."
Beautiful and cool, as a law enforcement officer, Inspector Chen's appearance deserves a perfect 10/10.
"I am Chen Huijie, Superintendent of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. You can call me Chen or Chen Sir. Welcome, guests from Rhodes Island."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Officer Chen."
Amiya was the first to step forward and shake hands, while Kal'tsit was standing to Amiya's side and slightly behind.
This positioning is quite interesting. It implies that while she isn't the one in charge of Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit is the actual policy maker and primary implementer. This setup...
He looks just like a regent.
Afterwards, Chen Sir shook hands with Kal'tsit and Virtue, thus becoming acquainted. However, when she shook hands with Virtue, the Rhodes Island doctor, she noticed that the boy next to Virtue was looking into the distance.
Because of their positions, Wan Qi was essentially the fourth-in-command in the group, so a handshake was customary. Therefore, Inspector Chen, with great tact, asked, "Is the guest interested in the prosperity of Longmen?"
“This place is indeed very nice.” Wan Qi continued, following Chen Sir’s lead, and then asked, “I’m just curious, does the Lungmen Guard Bureau have a habit of deploying snipers when receiving guests?”
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. Inspector Chen reacted quickly, immediately drawing his knife and asking without hesitation, "Which direction?"
At this point, we shouldn't worry about saving face. If this is true, it means that the other party has gotten to such a sensitive distance without the knowledge of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, making them a very troublesome enemy.
"Seven o'clock, top floor. The opponent used Originium Arts to conceal their presence, as well as optical cloaking. By the way, that building looks abandoned, and there's no one else inside. Can we demolish it?"
Wan Qi's words stunned Inspector Chen. The distance was at least 500 meters, and that building used to be the dormitory of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. It was made of very solid materials, so it would be quite difficult to demolish it.
"You can dismantle it here?" Inspector Chen asked incredulously.
Wan Qi spread his hands and said, "But I don't want to pay compensation."
Inspector Chen chuckled and said generously, "That place was going to be demolished anyway. If you demolish it, I'll thank you."
Fortunately, one of the tasks assigned by Governor Wei was to let him test the opponent's strength first, which was a good opportunity.
"OKo"
Wan Qi snapped his fingers, and the next second, a huge explosion came from the other side. A huge spike suddenly pierced out of the ground, directly piercing through the entire building, then quickly shrank and disappeared, leaving the entire building in ruins.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye; the next scene was simply watching the building collapse.
The crowd fell silent, and Chen Huijie looked like she had just seen Hoshiguma.
Unsure? I rubbed my eyes, opened them, and it was confirmed: that building really was gone in an instant!
But it wasn't over yet. Just then, a whooshing sound came from the sky, and the next second, a figure landed right at Chen Sir's feet. The Reunion Movement symbol on the person's sleeve proved their identity.
"It's an old acquaintance. You guys have moved from Chernobog to Lungmen so quickly. You must have been planning this for a long time."
Wan Qi recognized the other party's identity as the sniper who had previously targeted Wilting. He and that little brat later formed the first wave of the Reunion Movement's duo attack.
Upon hearing this, Inspector Chen immediately realized that this was a member of the Reunion Movement, so he immediately ordered him to be detained. The officers from the nearby Guard Bureau were also efficient and quick, and they arrested the guy in no time.
"We apologize for our oversight. Thank you for your help."
Chen Sir sincerely expressed his gratitude to Wan Qi, which was also an acknowledgment of Rhodes Island's strength.
This is truly a hidden gem in the medical field... Wait, this is a medical company!?
The events that occurred here were quickly reported to Governor Wei Yanwu of Longmen, whose face instantly hardened as if he were on an emergency assembly.
"An instantaneous, high-powered Originium Arts technique directly destroyed the previously abandoned Guard Bureau dormitory."
Wei Yanwu tapped his fingers lightly on the table; he possessed far more information than Chen Sir.
For example, the reason that dormitory building was abandoned was because of poor ventilation and lighting, and an unreasonable layout. The reason for this situation was that the dormitory building was originally part of the city defense block structure during the early construction of Lungmen. It was essentially a bunker-like structure that was converted into a dormitory. Later, the Lungmen Guard Bureau became richer, had more personnel, and had other needs, so they moved away from there. However, because the structure was too sturdy, it was never demolished.
Unexpectedly, among the people from Rhodes Island today, there was a ruthless individual who was completely dismantled with a snap of his fingers. This level of strength is enough to dismantle the main defensive structure of Lungmen. How could Rhodes Island have such a powerful member? This is completely inconsistent with the relevant information we had previously collected.
It's really just a matter of two people not matching, but one of them has already demonstrated terrifying destructive power, so the other person certainly can't be just a figurehead. Or rather, the most logical judgment is to extrapolate based on the safest possibility.
"It seems we need to adjust our cooperation methods slightly."
Wei Yanwu took a puff of his cigarette, gently twirling the pipe in his hand, already having made up his mind.
The subsequent reception took place at the Longmen Governor's Mansion, which is also the most imposing building in Longmen. As a symbol of the power of the Yan Kingdom in Longmen, the building is magnificent and solemn, following a strict central axis layout. The granite facade, symmetrical columns and neoclassical style highlight the efficiency and cold authority of the bureaucratic system, while the black tiles, red doors and animal heads on the eaves and corners of the Yan Kingdom conceal the mythical background of the imperial decree.
At the same time, because this is an open and inclusive city, in addition to these things that represent order and authority, you can also see oil paintings, glass walls and Roman columns, but these are just embellishments to the whole building, giving way to the more authoritative absolute will, after all, this place was never colonized by Britain.
Wan Qi really liked the style here; it hadn't forgotten its roots. Although it was another world, it made him feel like he was coming home.
However, this is just the feeling you get from the main entrance. Once inside, you'll find the layout is very cozy, reminiscent of a traditional Chinese house with a small bridge and flowing water. Of course, the wealthier people's simplicity is achieved by using the most expensive decorations to create a simple feel. Every piece of material used here is quite expensive and exquisite, to the point that it cannot be measured in monetary terms.
To give a simple example, which businessman in China would dare to build his house in the style and layout of a government building?
Such warriors do exist, but as for their fate, well...
Some things cannot be overstepped. At least for now, humanity still needs authority to give orders and command. However, not all officials have the ability to lead the enemy by the nose. They can only rely on these external things to strengthen their power and status.
