All abilities related to lines are subordinate to law powers. In terms of completeness, they certainly cannot compare to the law powers, but they are passed down in a lineage, essentially hierarchical, and in terms of energy level, they are not far apart.
Under such circumstances, the law lines can completely serve as a force to resist the law ripples.
“When the law ripples appears, you just need to cover yourself with the gravity line, and you can move freely.”
After Canter finished speaking, Angel looked around at the remnants of the fluctuation that had not yet completely dissipated and decided to try according to his words.
Although he had mastered the gravity line, the power of the line was deep in the soul, and releasing it required an extra step. Therefore, he prepared to let Toby release the gravity line.
Soon, the gray mist representing the gravity line emanated from Toby and swirled around everyone.
Because Toby harbored no ill will towards those present, even though they were enveloped by the gravity line, they felt no threat. On the contrary, because of the swirling of the gravity line, the few remaining remnants of the fluctuation around them were directly isolated.
This also proved that Canter’s method was correct.
“No wonder the Fire Law Land is completely unaffected by the ripple… So, does that mean my line of fire can also resist the law ripples?” Firo also felt the change around him and his eyes lit up.
Canter nodded: “Yes, all lines of laws can resist the law ripples.”
After speaking, Canter stretched out his finger, from which points of starlight emanated.
Although the essence of the starlight could not be confirmed, the fluctuations of the law lines were clearly flowing within the starlight!
Angel, looking at the twinkling starlight, couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Canter, since you possess the law lines, why didn’t you…”
Canter sighed softly: “The situation was urgent at that time.”
To mobilize the law lines also requires time. At that moment, Canter was half in and half out of the void. If he were to be damaged, his entire body would be split in two. No one knew when the planar passage might be destroyed. Under such pressing circumstances, he simply had no time to mobilize the law lines, and it was definitely more important to save his life.
And once he left the planar passage, the threat of the law fluctuation was minimized, and there was no need for Canter to protect himself with the law lines.
While they were talking, they also neared the Fire Law Land.
Before reaching the Fire Law Land, Canter changed his appearance, turning into the likeness of Sanders in a turn.
This was also suggested by Angel.
Since Sanders had already made an appearance before, continuing to use his appearance carried no burden.
Upon arriving at the Fire Law Land, Canter immediately established a mental connection among the group to prevent their conversation from being overheard by Number 03.
Then, the first thing was to check the iron lump enveloped by the water energy, and then through a mental connection, said to Angel and Firo: “Is this the mechanical head you were talking about earlier?”
Angel nodded: “Yes, according to Number 03, it’s called a ‘Wave Mechanism’.”
“The name ‘Wave Mechanism’ sounds like it belongs to the mechanical alchemy school.” Canter murmured, continuing: “This Wave Mechanism is wrapped in a layer of water film. I just sensed the fluctuations of the water film, and the energy of the water film itself is not strong, according to what you said earlier, this is supported by Number 03’s own magical power, which should be true.”
“However, although the energy is not strong, the energy level of the water film is surprisingly high, not only can it resist fluctuations, but it can also resist the fire lines. I feel that the level of the ‘Sea God’ Florence’s water energy might even be inferior to this.”
“The core of this Wave Mechanism, if nothing unexpected, is estimated to be made by an existence beyond the legendary realm.”
Hearing Canter’s introduction, Firo immediately remembered the time when he used the Fire Law Land to scorch the Wave Mechanism, and Number 03 was always threatening that if the Wave Mechanism was destroyed, Firo would bear the consequences.
Indistinctly, it has already revealed that the Wave Mechanism has an extraordinary background.
Now, connecting the dots, the answer seems to have surfaced.
Could it be that they have provoked a legendary wizard? Firo’s heart skipped a beat, with a hint of hesitation, he voiced his judgment.
After listening to Firo’s words, Angel and Canter were silent for a while.
Eventually, Canter softly said: “It Doesn’t Matter, the more debts, the less worry.”
Angel also said: “And the core of this Wave Mechanism isn’t broken yet. Even if it really breaks, a legendary wizard can’t easily enter the Southern Wizarding World…” Saying this, Angel thought of the existence of the legendary realm that Firo encountered before, and added: “…right?”
Firo wanted to cry but had no tears: “…” Is this really considered consolation?
Regardless of how tumultuous and helpless Firo felt inside at the guess that the Wave Mechanism might really have an incredible background, Canter did not continue to destroy the Wave Mechanism’s core.
Moreover, he might not be able to destroy the Wave Mechanism’s core in a short time.
So, he gave up sensing the Wave Mechanism and directly said: “Cecilie, shall we talk?”
At this moment, Number 03, located inside the Wave Mechanism, hearing the voice coming from outside, determined the visitor was Sanders for the first time.
That kind of terrifying oppressive force that could be sensed through the Wave Mechanism’s core made Number 03’s heart also shrink.
But Number 03 vaguely felt that the tone of Sanders this time contained a feeling that was a bit different from before… It seemed colder and more fearsome.
What Number 03 didn’t know was that the one speaking outside was no longer Angel, who had been deliberately bluffing before, but had changed to Canter. Canter and Sanders were old friends for many years, imitating Sanders’s voice and demeanor more authentically than Angel.
However, this is not to say that Angel’s imitation was not similar.
Angel’s imitation of Sanders mostly reflected the demeanor Sanders showed towards him, though it was cool, it lacked a clear sense of distance, and even occasionally revealed a warmth typical of a mentor-disciple relationship. This, in fact, was not the true public persona of Sanders. Angel saw more of his amiable side in private.
Canter, understanding all facets of Sanders, could replicate him so vividly with just a few words.
This more authentic and also more austere image indeed caused a sense of trepidation in Number 03.
Initially, Number 03 wanted to adopt an indifferent attitude towards Firo, similar to how she faced others, but even the slight breaths of “Sanders” standing outside made her feel an unprecedented sense of deterrence.
Eventually, under this psychological pressure, Number 03 spoke:
“What would you like to discuss?”
…
An hour later, Canter prepared to leave with Angel, leaving Firo near the Fire Law Land.
Before leaving, Canter took an item from his pocket and handed it to Firo, who looked bewildered.
“If Number 03 does anything unusual, crush this immediately,” Canter instructed Firo.
Firo looked down and saw that Canter had given him a black crystal cut into a rhombus shape. Through its facets, one could vaguely see the dense blackness inside, as if it were flowing. Moreover, within the darkness, there were tiny points of light, as if the crystal contained an entire midnight sky.
Although Firo did not understand the nature of this black crystal, he trusted that Canter meant no harm and nodded in agreement.
After handing the black crystal to Firo, Angel and Canter headed towards the laboratory.
On the way, Angel asked, “Do you think Number 03 might do something?”
Canter nodded, “Although I’m not sure what Number 03 is up to internally, her aura clearly became a bit chaotic when she realized we intended to enter the base laboratory. I sensed through that chaos that her aura was not only not weakening but was continuously strengthening.”
In such a situation, it was necessary to be vigilant regardless of whether Number 03 would act out or not.
Canter gave the black crystal to Firo as a precaution against any potential actions by Number 03. Additionally, the crystal could also serve as a locator, allowing them to evacuate promptly should any issues arise in the laboratory.
Canter added, “However, even if Number 03 really plans to do something, it would be easy to suppress. What concerns me the most is… that person.”
Canter’s conversation with Number 03 was not burdened with the need to maintain the guise of Sanders, unlike Angel, which meant many questions went unasked. With Canter’s own formidable strength, he did not shy away from probing, allowing him to uncover many secrets from Number 03 that had previously been unexplored.
Among these, Canter subtly inquired about the individual resembling the legendary figure whom Firo had encountered, in relation to Number 03.
Ultimately, after synthesizing various statements from Number 03, Canter concluded that Number 03 was unaware of “that person’s” existence.
In the hearts of Angel and the others, although no one explicitly stated it, they all speculated that the person might come from the River Legacy Society of the Source World and definitely had connections with the base laboratory.
However, they now discovered that this person actually had no connections with the base laboratory, at least in the perception of Number 03.
So, who could this person be?
And what stance did they hold?
Everything remained as a big unknown.
“I hope everything goes smoothly this time,” Canter lamented, unable to help adding another comment: “Had I known this matter would be so troublesome, I would not have come… Nisi, that old coot!”
…
When Angel and Canter returned to the base laboratory, Nisi’s preparations were almost complete.
At this moment, Nisi looked almost the same as before, the only change being the addition of a bone armor knight wielding a bone sword by his side, and Nisi’s hat and wizard robe had been replaced with gray-white ones.
Although the knight was covered in skeletal heavy armor, the gaps in the bone armor revealed that the interior was empty. However, the presence of eerie green soul fires between the eyes indicated that the armor’s interior wasn’t truly hollow; there was a “person” inside, only this “person” had become a soul.
The bone armor knight simply stood quietly by Nisi’s side, emanating an intangible deterrence.
Angel and Canter didn’t feel much, but Reynold, who was nearby, could clearly sense the terrifying aura; he didn’t dare to approach the bone armor knight. He could only hide behind Angel to avoid the dreadful atmosphere.
Canter didn’t pay much attention to the bone armor knight but glanced at Nisi’s newly changed robe and hat before asking, “Are you ready?”
Nisi nodded, his eyes twinkling with a hint of excitement: “All set.”
Canter responded, “Then let’s go in.”
