A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 771 - 757: Big Head
Zhan Guo was talking about a crucial part when he suddenly stopped.
"Continue."
Baiyu looked at him, feeling quite puzzled by his pause.
"Uh, I forgot the rest. When I have time and remember, I'll tell you. My brain hasn't been maintained or oiled for years; it's just recently woken up and many memories are fragmented."
Zhan Guo patted his head, producing a crisp sound.
Baiyu could only helplessly shrug, putting away his notebook with diminished interest.
...
Days passed by.
Every day, Baiyu sat in the castle's basement, watching the movements of Lan Die and others outside.
As a trusted confidant of the Eternal City's City Lord and a commander of a camp, her power couldn't be underestimated.
Moreover.
Baiyu was unclear of her attitude toward the ruins and regarding the matter of students.
After the incident with Teacher Gong.
Baiyu was more aware of the Great City's brutality; under the temptation of absolute interests, anyone could do the unexpected.
Soon.
Five days passed.
Baiyu received a reply from Qiong Xue.
The Count's territory approval had been completed, and the Qiong and Ning Families had already headed to the territory to start construction.
However.
Baiyu's previous position had also been canceled.
He essentially exchanged his rights across the entire East Prosperity Imperial for a piece of the Count's territory, and only if the Count's territory develops well in the future can he regain his influence in the East Prosperity Imperial.
Now.
Baiyu was merely a Count with no active duties.
"Ready?" Early in the morning, after resting sufficiently, Baiyu came to stand before Zhan Guo.
"Of course, robots don't need to sleep or rest. We're not constrained by the frail flesh and blood.
Interested in joining us?
Flesh is so weak."
Zhan Guo spoke earnestly.
Upon hearing this rhetoric similar to that of the Mechanical Cult, Baiyu cordially yet politely declined.
"If you're ready, let's begin. Let's act now while the Great City's reinforcements haven't arrived."
Baiyu urged Zhan Guo.
Lan Die had been diverted by the stone tablet for two days and should start realizing something was amiss.
Likely now.
Lan Die had started requesting reinforcements from the Great City; soon, specialized personnel from the Great City would be dispatched.
At that time, escaping would become even harder.
"Okay, I'll get moving immediately."
Having received Baiyu's confirmation that preparations were complete, Zhan Guo no longer hesitated. He opened a small secret compartment on his right arm, revealing a red button inside.
Click.
Upon pressing the button.
The ground trembled suddenly, layer upon layer of ice shards disintegrated on the ground, causing the massive Ice City to shake and tremble.
At this moment.
The entire relic echoed with the roars of the Ice City.
Thick snow peeled off the city walls, the entirely bright red walls exposed to the air presented a kind of beauty akin to the setting sun.
Rumble.
A blue-green flame tail spewed out from beneath the Ice City, and the entire castle began to levitate. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Zhan Guo and Baiyu were situated at the base of the castle.
The entire castle slammed into the top layer of the relic's soil, shattering the originally hard soil instantly.
And this moving castle also became visible to Lan Die.
"All units listen to orders, long-range attack, focus fire on the castle's power release device."
Whoosh.
She waved the small flag in her hand.
Immediately behind her, there were hundreds of soldiers arranged in two lines, holding special firearms, firing towards the castle.
However.
When these gunfire shots hit the outside of the castle, they were completely blocked by a layer of ice blue light shield, unable to pierce the castle's defense.
Seeing this scene, Lan Die immediately ordered her troops to stop shooting.
Obviously.
With their firepower, they couldn't harm the castle's power system at all.
Lan Die's eyes were solemn, she shouted loudly, and with a stomp on the horse's back, she soared like a rocket projectile.
When the speed is too fast, it will cause friction with the atmosphere.
Lan Die was in such a situation now, massive friction sounds were roaring, just like a shell, fiercely crashing into the castle.
"Prajna Body!"
She roared, releasing a burst of black light all over her body, a tall and majestic giant Buddha's silhouette appeared behind Lan Die.
Baiyu was momentarily captivated.
This thing… it truly was a standard Buddha statue, although it's unclear which Buddha this is, it looks quite similar to Earth's Buddha.
Lan Die's aura was noticeably not strong.
However, the Buddha's silhouette behind her was so powerful that it made people struggle to breathe.
Baiyu did not act.
Beside him, Zhan Guo, looking at this silhouette, stood straight, erupting a purple-blue light from his body.
No.
Baiyu carefully sensed.
This was not light, but lightning.
Purple-blue, thick bolts of lightning, like thunderous snakes, burst out from inside the castle.
Sizzle.
The massive lightning tore the sky, forming a tiger shape in mid-air, biting down on the Buddha enveloped in dark energy.
Bang.
The dark energy Buddha instantly shattered.
Lan Die was severely injured, spitting a mouthful of crimson blood, falling like a meteor from mid-air.
Complete defeat!
Baiyu gained a deeper understanding of Zhan Guo's strength.
"Let's go, stronger forces are approaching from afar. If we don't leave now, we might not be able to escape."
With a single blow, Lan Die was forced to retreat.
Zhan Guo's eyes emitted red ripples as he operated Ice City at full power, heading towards the coordinates Baiyu provided.
"Start long-distance teleportation immediately, be careful, long-distance teleportation drains Ice City's energy.
After this teleportation, the Ice City might not be able to teleport again."
Zhan Guo's expression was serious.
Teleporting the Ice City consumed a massive amount of energy each time, having been dormant for so many years, Ice City's energy was already depleted.
Moreover.
The subsequent activities and daily consumption of the castle all required energy.
Once depleted, it would be very uncomfortable.
Soon.
A rotating light gate slowly appeared in front of the Ice City, expanding continuously, soon occupying half the sky.
The Ice City was slowly entering the vortex.
Lan Die had already returned to her mount, taking medicine to stabilize her injuries.
However.
The hints of anger in her eyes were undeniable.
It was clearly within reach, but the Ice City managed to fly away.
However.
Just as the Ice City was about to leave, the sky suddenly shattered.
Like a mirror, cracking line by line, spiderweb-like patterns appeared.
The teleportation vortex that originally expanded to cover the entire Ice City was suddenly shattered by the sky, losing a third of its size.
"You can't escape."
A voice rang from the sky.
Baiyu looked up and saw a gigantic girl's head appear in the sky, taking a bite out of the castle area exposed outside the teleportation light gate.
Although Zhan Guo was a robot, without any facial expression.
But the ripples in his eyes kept flickering, indicating his mood was very unsettled.
