So I became a witch

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"If I'm not wrong, this map should still be incomplete." I said word by word, "What we get is just a number representing one of its many coordinate axes. If we want to deduce its The specific location probably needs other data.”

"Well, it is indeed a reasonable inference, so is this piece of information so incomplete..."

"Well, can you explain a little bit about the high-dimensional data space, what exactly does it mean?" Andrea raised her hand embarrassingly.

After thinking about it for a while, I said to her, "Do you know about dimensional space?"

"It refers to spaces of different degrees, right? Zero-dimensional is a point, one-dimensional is a line, two-dimensional is a plane, and three-dimensional is a three-dimensional..." Andrea replied quickly.

"Well, that's right. For people in the real world, the most common is the three-dimensional space, which is divided into a three-dimensional world with XYZ axes. The coordinates of each object can be in the form of (x, y, z) to represent ... so, what if there are more axes?"

"Huh? In that case..."

"Well, there is no need to force yourself to imagine, but the high-dimensional space does exist, and the coordinate representation on it is in the form of (x, y, z,..., n). The information we currently have , is one of the coordinate numbers in this column."

"Huh? But, that... that is to say, you need to collect other information and make up a complete coordinate to complete the map... What do you mean?"

"Well, that's about it." Xia Luohua nodded.

"Well, let's not discuss how to collect other information, even if the coordinates are completed, how do we go to the so-called high-dimensional space? Also, what will there be?"

"Well, there must be a solution. Besides, just the map information appearing on this ancient relic is enough to make people excited, right?"

"Huh?" Andrea showed an incomprehensible expression.I put the necklace back on my neck again, and patted her shoulder sympathetically. After all, Xia Luohua is such an unpredictable guy. I had a deep understanding of this when I suffered so much because of her.

"Okay, the system has returned to normal, and this data has been completely encrypted and kept for the time being... Then, should I tell you about you?" Xia Luohua suddenly came over, almost touching my nose with her nose face.

"Why, why do you say that?"

"Hmph, I can see it clearly. It's because you touched the control center with that strange necklace that the change occurred, right? Don't pretend to me that you don't know? Also, Where did you get that necklace from? I guess I haven't seen you wearing it the last time we met?"

In fact, when I was shopping, an old man in weird clothes insisted on selling it to me... Just when I was about to say this, Xia Luohua suddenly spoke in advance: "'When I was shopping, an old man in weird clothes insisted on selling it to you' You wouldn't say such nonsense to deceive a three-year-old child, would you?"

...It was completely seen through.

I sighed, and suddenly thought of the words that the lonely queen asked: "If possible... please save my daughter."

Although I don't think I'm a good person, in order to repay the help she gave me in that space, I didn't intend to ignore her request.Maybe, no, nine times out of ten, the mysterious code found on this Aide clan relic points to the coordinates of the castle she mentioned.

So, is it said to be the key to the royal city?

In the end, is this a pure coincidence, or is something like fate at work?

However, after thinking about it, I still briefly told the two of them what happened. Of course, I mentioned all the important points directly. After all, in the records of the spirit, these are "things that don't exist". If you tell them casually, Inevitably there will be some trouble.

"In other words, you also got this necklace by accident, and you were entrusted to find something?" Xia Luohua frowned and stretched her hand to my chest, but her hand was less than ten centimeters away from the necklace. The hand stopped, as if there was an invisible barrier preventing her from approaching the necklace.Seeing that Xia Luohua did not forcefully continue, she withdrew her hand and nodded thoughtfully.

"Um, are you willing to believe what I say?" I asked.After all, even if I have experienced it personally, it is difficult not to treat what happened at that time as a story.

"Of course, because I know you will never lie to me!" Xia Luohua smiled as a matter of course.Looking at that smile, a certain part of my heart seemed to tighten suddenly.

"I, I will trust classmate Luo Tianchen!" Andrea said not to be outdone.

"By the way, since this is the case, you should know what this coordinate is pointing to, right? Although unknown treasures are exciting, but confirmed goals give people more motivation to move forward."

"Well, I remember, it seems to be called 'City of Eternal Time and Space'... Is it such a saying?" I said uncertainly.At that time, the Queen of the Eddie clan communicated with me in the standard Star Clan language. Although I had a certain understanding of the Star Clan language by analyzing the slate sent by Xia Luohua, I would not be completely ignorant of it, but I can’t guarantee myself. There is no mistaking it.

"Wait, you mean the 'City of Eternal Breaking of Time and Space'! That 'City of Eternal Breaking of Time and Space', one of the Twelve Imperial Artifacts!" Xia Luohua's voice suddenly raised an octave.

I was taken aback, Xia Luohua's face became flushed because of excessive excitement, even when I confronted the witch, I had never seen her show such an expression.

"It seems that she said something like the Emperor's Weapon... Could it be something very powerful?" I said.

"That's not something that can be described as powerful or not!" Xia Luohua took a deep breath, "That is the supreme treasure bestowed by the first star king Lydias to the twelve races!"

Chapter 110 Concealment

"Uh, is that so?"

This time, even Andrea looked at me a little speechlessly, and patiently explained: "It is said that the first generation of Star King left behind twelve sacred objects before he left, which are called the Emperor's Artifacts by later generations. , each piece of imperial equipment has its own unique function and power, and is controlled by each of the twelve tribes. Among them, the Aide tribe is in charge of this imperial equipment called the "City of Eternal Time and Space". Without the existence of space, time, concepts, laws, spirits, etc., even the power of the witch cannot interfere with the Eternal City. However, the twelve imperial artifacts should have been lost long ago. Why did it happen at this time? ..."

"No, they are not lost, they are just sealed up, waiting for the right time to see the light of day again." Xia Luohua said meaningfully, "Actually, there is an imperial weapon, haven't you already seen it?"

"Hey, what's that?" Andrea was taken aback.

"That is the star system itself, which is in charge of the entire Rutias Academy."

"...!!!"

"Well, although many people know about it, you don't need to publicize it, so as not to cause trouble to your upper body. The predecessor of the Star System was the emperor's tool that managed the operation of the entire Star Clan, 'Star Thinking Vanity', but because of the experience of the war Because of this, what our academy has mastered is only part of it. There is a saying that the original Star Clan also relied on these imperial weapons to survive the witch's attack."

"Just a part, is it already that powerful?" I thought of the countless dolls that were silently erased when the enemy attacked that night, and the computing power that was enough to simulate the real world, and this was just the emperor part of the instrument?By analogy, what kind of power will the "City of Eternal Interruption of Time and Space" at its same level have?

That Her Majesty the Queen really entrusted me with a very valuable thing.I picked up the jade on my chest, felt the coldness it brought, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Anyway, don't let other people know about this matter. I'll let it go, her words..." Xia Luohua looked at Andrea, with an inexplicable color in her eyes.

Andrea's body froze, and she said loudly: "I, I won't tell about Luo Tianchen!"

"I also believe that classmate Andrea will help keep it secret." I also hurriedly said.

"...Since you think so, then I have nothing to say. Then the next step is to find a way to secretly look for other clues without keeping it from the academy. Well, if this is the case, the three of us alone will It is inevitable that people are a little insufficient. If we call that female fox again... Although she is a bit greedy, she is still relatively reliable. At least she will not commit such behaviors as betrayal, but considering the value of this time... ..." Xia Luohua began to talk to herself, leaving us sitting on the command chair alone, and using the communicator to contact something.

"That, Charlotte?" I tried to call her.

"Why? I'm very busy now, don't talk to me if it's not something important."

"No, that, what are you doing?"

"Huh? Of course, get ready for treasure hunting!" Xia Luohua replied immediately.

"No, no, that, I mean, the mission of this school..."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all. Compared with the legendary imperial weapon, that man's inheritance is better." Xia Luohua said casually, her eyes full of anticipation for the imperial weapon.

"No, no, no, no matter what happens! This is related to the assessment of me and Andrea! And what did you mean by hiding the academy?"

"What's the point? Of course I plan to take it all for myself!" Xia Luohua said as a matter of course.

"It's a shame that you can say such things so confidently..."

"This is a rule, a rule. You must know that the academy is not completely screwed up. If this kind of news is known by people from other families, it will not be such a small fight like Xingjiang City, and it may even evolve into a world war."

"seriously……"

"Besides, the fact that the academy is in charge of the star system alone has made other families dissatisfied. If they couldn't beat it, they would have rushed to the door. If the academy got the second emperor's weapon, then other families There is no longer a chance for them to stand up, and they who understand this will definitely devote all their family property to join this battle, and the consequences can be imagined."

"Isn't this the same as human society?" Unfortunately, I thought the demon hunters were such a noble group of guys.

"No matter how powerful it is, the greedy nature of human beings will never change. Therefore, in order to avoid this obvious struggle, wouldn't it be a good thing for everyone if I accept it before then? ?"

"Although it sounds reasonable, you are the only one who benefits in the end, right?" I looked at Xia Luohua suspiciously and said.

"How come, I'm giving up my little one for everyone." Xia Luohua said casually, "However, if you leave without doing anything, it will be difficult not to attract the attention of the academy. If you can find it, it will be troublesome if it is discovered in advance. Sure enough, we should make a quick decision to grab the information and kill all the other guys!"

Xia Luohua quickly came up with the answer, and her movements were so skillful that it was hard to believe that this was her first time doing such a thing.

"...You shouldn't be familiar with this, are you?" Thinking of the pile of unknown treasures she carried with her, I suddenly had a strange guess.

"Huhu, what do you think?" Xia Luohua showed me a puzzled smile.

Sure enough, this guy is definitely not the first time to do this kind of robbery, and he is even very familiar with it.

"Then, there are still 5 minutes before the official start time. At that moment, kill everyone else!" Xia Luohua sat on the console, with the entire map of Xingjiang City in front of her.Under her operation, contestants from one family after another were found and marked on the map with circles.

"Wait, don't you really intend to use the weapon attached to Starry Sky City? That's a Xingyan-level attack, and a mortal-level person will die with just one hit!" I was startled say.

"Don't worry, the two twins of Yinyang Ye's family will open the man's experimental field as soon as the time is up. At the same time, because some rules have been tampered with, the fight in it will not cause death, at most it will require serious injuries. It's just to rest for a while." Xia Luohua said with a relaxed tone.

"However, don't the rules of the competition say that existence or power above the mortal world is strictly prohibited from joining?"

"What are you talking about?" There was a sinister smile on the corner of Xia Luohua's mouth, "As long as we don't get discovered, who will know that we did it? At that time, we only need to survive the mysterious attack by luck If you appear as a "contestant", can't you easily win the reward?"

It's really despicable!

Chapter 110 Six Changes

"Target confirmation completed... Locking... Locking completed..." Xia Luohua's hand slid across the console, and the marks of each target changed from warning yellow to locked red.At this point, I can only pray that nothing major will happen as she said.

“5……4……3……2……1……进入发射状态……世界变迁准备……”系统的提示音进入了最后的阶段，我和安德莉亚也只能无所事事地坐在一旁，静静地看着夏洛华操作。

As she said, when the time counted down to 0, the entire Xingjiang City was suddenly shrouded in a mist. Of course, except for a small number of people, no one noticed this abnormality.And everyone who was locked by Xia Luohua before also took out something similar to talisman paper at the same time, ignited it, and disappeared in front of the screen one after another.

When the last circle disappeared, Xia Luohua let out a long sigh of relief: "It's done! Next, as long as we use the location coordinates of these people to deduce the password set by the guys from the Yinyang family, we can separate this starry sky fortress from there. The space of the space is connected, so... wait!"

Suddenly the alarm bell rang loudly in the operating room, and the red and white warning lights flashed alternately. Even I noticed something was wrong, and immediately ran to Xia Luohua's side: "What happened?"

"Although we did find the location of the void coordinates...but damn it! The target's reaction was a hundred times more than expected... no, it was more than a thousand times!"

I stared fixedly at the screen, the yellow circle representing the target almost covered my entire vision: "What's going on here?"

"I don't know! Wait a minute, I'm adjusting the size of the field of view..." Xia Luohua moved her fingers quickly while talking, and the world shrouded in mist gradually appeared in front of us.

"!!!" When the fog finally dissipated, Xia Luohua and I couldn't help but gasped.The place marked with a yellow circle is neither another contestant nor an error displayed, but...

Endless ghosts.

Tens of thousands... No, there are probably hundreds of thousands of virtual beasts entrenched in the uninhabited city, circling wantonly, as if they regarded this place as their own territory.

"This...couldn't be a mistake?" I asked Xia Luohua uncertainly.

She shook her head, her face became a little ugly: "No, there is no mistake, this is indeed the venue for this competition, but the original content should be to let everyone search for information and the man in this leftover experimental field." Inheritance, all fighting behaviors are allowed, the time is 12 hours, and those who persist until the end of the time can leave the game with what they find. It was originally planned that there should be no virtual beasts, let alone this Such a number, even the Xingyan fighters will feel troublesome...Damn it! What are those supervisors doing! If this is the case, there is no way to find other contestants and kill them together!"

So you are complaining here!

Xia Luohua complained, while I stood by and silently controlled the screen to watch the map.

"Ah, I see." In the center of the screen, a little girl with twin ponytails is riding on the shoulders of a burly man, with an endless sea of ​​virtual beasts behind her, "Do you want to help them?"

"What are you talking about? There's no need to waste your energy here." Xia Luohua put her face on the console in a bored manner, "If things become like this, someone will take care of them right away, so let's not get involved , and you won’t die anyway, isn’t it a good thing to reduce a few opponents in advance?”

That's what I said, but there is always a faint uneasiness in my heart. This competition seems to be not as simple as Xia Luohua imagined.

I operated the map again, and turned the screen to our feet, which is the map of Xingjiang Middle School.Sure enough, there are also virtual beasts entrenched here, but fortunately, the laboratory building that is our stronghold has not been discovered, and the virtual beasts naturally avoided the surrounding area, which probably has something to do with the "means" that Xia Luohua said.

Well, it seems that there is no one here, so let's look at other places... Huh?

At the edge of the viewing angle, it seemed that a shadow was suddenly spotted.

Is it human?I subconsciously zoomed in and zoomed in on the map, passed through the top of the teaching building, and showed the shivering girl hiding in one of the rooms.

This person is...

The moment I saw her face clearly, I was taken aback.

"Ah! This is the girl we saw when we came in just now!" Andrea leaned over, looked at the screen and said in surprise, "Is she also a contestant?"

"No, that's impossible... No, I'm going to save her!" Without any hesitation, I turned around and rushed towards the elevator.

"Ah, that, wait, I'm going too!" Andrea followed in a panic.

"Hey!" Xia Luohua shouted loudly, I stopped, and turned around to take the long sword she threw.

"The sword name is Longquan, you should be better at using this kind of weapon, right? Although I also want to follow, but judging from the current situation, it might be better for me to stay here in case things go bad. Xia Luohua spread her hands and said, "I have already connected the Starry Sky Fortress to the virtual domain. If you return from the original road, you can reach the foot of the experimental building in the virtual domain. In case of danger, I will also be here to support you. Just do what you want."

Looking at Xia Luohua's gentle smile, I replied softly: "Thank you."

Although the distance has not been shortened, our speed is much faster than the walking method when we came here. It took only a few tens of seconds to return to the door, but the world in front of us is completely different from when we came in.

Without warm tones and sunshine, under the sky covered by black clouds, the whole city took on a cold color.Although the building has not changed in the slightest, the feeling has changed from warm to mechanical cool.

"Sorry, Andrea, there's no need for you to follow me." I pulled out a sword that was about the same height as me from the scabbard and said.

"No, classmate Luo Tianchen also said it, we are that-that friend, so-so..." Andrea stuttered for some reason.The weapon she held was an exquisite western sword, which was of course different from the ones used in the competition field. The blade had a sharp cool light, and it was purely made for beheading.Probably, it was also delivered to her by Xia Luohua. I couldn't help being surprised that that proud guy would lend his treasure to someone other than me.

No, now is not the time to dwell on this.Although I don't know what's going on, but unlike us, Bingying in this world is a completely ordinary person, the longer she stays in this world, the more dangerous she will be.

Chapter 110 Seven Rescue

"Well, then I'll leave it to you." I nodded and rushed into the pile of virtual beasts first.Where the sword light passed, countless imaginary beasts turned into black mist and dissipated.Today, these ordinary virtual beasts are no longer a threat to me. Even if I don't use the virtual eyes, I can still crush them with the absolute strength of the eighth-level mortal world.As for Andrea, I am not worried at all. In that fictional dream, I acted with her for a while and witnessed her strength with my own eyes.Although Andrea acted like a young lady who had lived at home for a long time and didn't know much about the world, she was unambiguous in her strikes, stabbing at the dead corner of the Void Beast every time.

In such a short period of time, more and more virtual beasts noticed our existence, and rushed over fearlessly. While sweeping away the enemies in front of us, we rushed forward without slowing down.

But having said that, this amount is too exaggerated. In a short period of time, Andrea and I have killed hundreds of virtual beasts, but the number of the other party has not decreased at all, but has increased. It seems that the mobs in the game are constantly being refreshed.Moreover, there is another strange thing that, generally speaking, the types of virtual beasts in an area should be the same, but among the enemies we face, there are not only imitation cats, imitation lions, imitation leopards, imitation horses, etc. Some imaginary beasts are simply mixed together with the characteristics of various animals, such a hodgepodge.

There is definitely something wrong with this world.I'm so sure.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" Xia Luohua's voice suddenly came from my body, I was taken aback, dodged the sickle arm of the virtual beast in front of me, and cut it in half with a backhand sword .

"What's the matter?" I took out of my pocket the hearing aid-like communicator that Xia Luohua delivered to me before the operation, and put it on my ear, and asked.
