Chapter 309: Chapter 72: Parachuting Behind Enemy
Lines, The Fairy King’s Amputated Arm_l
The flying vehicle hovers in place.
The deck hatch suddenly opens.
“Quick, quick, quick! Jump, jump, jump!”
Boss Otis with the square face gives orders over the team’s channel.
Lokan steps ahead and falls out of the deck hatch towards the ground.
The twins Onyx and Mark follow closely behind.
Betty, the “Black Cat”, first throws out a dozen biomimetic hummingbird reconnaissance Magic Tools before skydiving down.
Assad gives Link a look, signaling him to learn, and jumps down first.
Link is observing carefully, studying and learning.
He notices that everyone jumps straight down, with no such actions of bending down and holding their knees, or diving headfirst with their limbs spread out. There are indeed vast differences between wizards and ordinary people.
Following their example, Link also keeps his legs together, his entire body like a straight stone pillar, descending from heaven.
The moment he leaves the flight vehicle, Link feels what is meant by “Different World”.
The Fairy World’s surface gravity acceleration has a significant difference compared to the Wizard World’s surface gravity acceleration.
If the Wizard World’s surface gravity acceleration is iom/s2, the Fairy World’s surface gravity acceleration would be I2m/s2.
Compared to when he was in the Wizard World, Link’s falling speed is noticeably faster.
The air density and surface atmospheric pressure in the Fairy World are slightly greater than in the Wizard World.
In mid-air, Link activates his Magic Tool ring on his left ring finger with spiritual power and checks the air composition.
He finds that the air composition in the Fairy World has significant differences compared to the Wizard World and the forward base.
The concentration of “oxygen” is much lower.
The concentration of inert gases, which ordinary humans cannot breathe, is much higher.
No wonder that those fairies in the isolation cells were instinctively breathing greedily.
It’s just like people living in industrial cities who are accustomed to the air filled with industrial waste gas, suddenly entering a forest known as a “natural oxygen bar”, breathing in very high-quality fresh air.
One can’t help but take deep breaths.
Then you feel completely different, much more relaxed.
He’s already descended more than half the required height, about to land.
Link concentrates his attention to avoid making mistakes.
He must land stably; he can’t fall to the ground, let alone make a spectacle like the X special team did, falling in all sorts of strange ways.
Impacting the mission is secondary, mainly he can’t lose face.
Link doesn’t choose to use the jet thrust from his boots to counteract the speed and force. While it’s convenient, it’s too conspicuous.
Instead, he uses the “Defender 3202” suit’s built-in levitation function.
The cloak, which usually fits him tightly, slightly lifts, while the boots underneath him simultaneously produce an ascending buoyancy force.
His falling speed suddenly slows down.
He gently and slowly lands, light as a feather.
In terms of style, posture, temperament, except for the difference in his attire and the setting, in all other aspects, he’s just like Batman.
As soon as he lands, Link hears Assad’s voice on the team channel: “Link, stay behind me and stay alert. If you encounter any creatures you think are valuable for research, let me know in advance. If permission is given, then you can take samples.”
“Received, understood.”
Link replies on the team channel.
As a newcomer, he should obey orders.
This point, Link understood well.
At this point, Captain Otis, the boss, quietly lands and starts giving orders, strategizing: “Lokan leads the way, Betty scouts, Onyx and Mark alert on both sides, Assad and Link stay in the middle, I’ll bring up the rear, search forward, target: Fairy King Forest.”
“Yes!”
Everyone responds in unison.
They quickly form a spindle-shaped formation according to Otis s arrangements, advancing and searching forward.
Assad takes the opportunity to enlighten Link:
“There’s a sacred place in the Fairy World, that is the Fairy King Forest, where the Fairy King of the Rainforest Fairies resides.
Before the end of the second battle, Sage Palo personally stepped forward and seriously injured the Fairy King.
Only after this did large-scale fairy mutations happen.
To scout this information, going directly to the Fairy King Forest won’ t be wrong.”
After pausing, remembering that Link is participating in the Different World campaign for the first time and doesn’t possess many common facts that aren’t covered in textbooks, documents, and literature, he patiently explains: “Below the portal of the forward base, there’s a specific Rune Array.
The Will of the Wizard World can descend upon the Fairy World through this Rune Array, gradually ‘infusing’ the regulations affiliated with the forward base area.
So, every aspect of the rules of the forward base leans towards the Wizard World.
In the ‘wilderness’ that the Will of the World doesn’t cover, the Will of the Fairy World is absolutely dominant.
I believe you should’ve felt the differences with gravity, atmosphere, ecological environment, and such.
This is a manifestation of the absolute dominance of the Fairy World’s Will. Some of our witchcraft and Magic Tools might be of no use if they do not comply with the rules of the Fairy World, you must be aware of this. Remember, pioneering a Different World, going deep behind enemy lines to scout, is not a dinner invitation.
There’s no semblance of peacefulness, when you need to take action, you mustn’t hesitate, otherwise it will harm others as well as yourself.’
“Hmm.”
Link slightly nods, indicating his understanding, and then asks, “The material you sent me yesterday mentioned that wizards favored by the World Will, during the process of pioneering a Different World, will get help from the World Will. What sort of assistance is this? It wasn’t written in the material, do you know? Can you tell me?”
On hearing this, Assad suddenly falls silent.
After a while, he directly opens the team channel and says with a sour tone: “Link just asked me about what kind of aid those favored by the World Will receive during the pioneering process. I hope everyone can join in answering him, I shouldn’t be the only one guiding the newcomer.”
