Chapter 328: Chapter 321: Each Performing Their own Role

Shariya nodded, then spoke, "This is just my personal guess, but based on their cognitive logic, such guess is highly possible. Everyone thought they lost the Prophetic War thirty years ago because they depended too much on magic. If they had not depended so much on magic, they could have used their relatively advanced weapons to defeat the Earthlings. The second Prophetic War just proved this point."

In the second Prophetic War, the Earthlings who invaded the Otherworld were defeated and forced to capitulate by the Otherworld’s armies. This led many people to underestimate Earthlings’ capabilities. They thought as long as they got the weapons from Earth, they could invade their world and defeat them once again.

Ironically, the only people in the Otherworld who truly understood the power of Earth were the Church Court’s forces. They had many scholars who studied Earth’s culture and knowledge, allowing them a far richer understanding of Earth than anyone else in the Otherworld.

The Southern Ancient States also wanted to learn about Earth, but they were not adjacent to Yazhi City and were heretics. They could only glimpse certain snippets of knowledge, lacking the deep and thorough understanding of the scholars from the Church Court.

Precisely because of their profound understanding of Earth’s power, the Church Court thwarted attempts by the Otherworld nations to stage further invasions of Earth. They knew that those who set foot on Earth’s soil would be instantaneously annihilated.

Earth’s technology is similar to the magic of the Otherworld, but it is far more advanced, whereas the magic of the Otherworld is relatively backward. If we say the Otherworld’s magical development has reached one hundred, Earth’s technological advancement would be in the hundreds or even thousands.

Although the physical laws of the two worlds might be different, it is undeniable that Earth’s progress far outpaces that of the Otherworld. This is why, despite not being able to use magic, the Earthlings are able to hold a dominant position in the Otherworld.

Therefore, emphasizing the differences in laws between the two worlds while ignoring the differences in development can only lead to failure. If these Otherworld armies start to reopen the Otherworld Gate to invade Earth, they will certainly be marching to their death. Earthlings will surely kill all the invaders in retribution for their fallen warriors.

However, Luo didn’t seem to worry about their invasion because those people invading would only be moving into a death trap. What he was thinking about now was, if this gate opens and connects to Earth, where would it connect to?

He had a hunch that if the Otherworld Gate could open a connection based on coordinates, does it mean these coordinates can be precise down to the second in terms of latitude and longitude?

If that were the case, Luo had a bold conjecture. If the runes of Yazhi City’s Otherworld Gate could be deciphered to convert the rune coordinates into Earth’s latitude and longitude, then couldn’t they calculate the coordinates of the Otherworld Gate these people were about to open?

"I see," Luo nodded solemnly and then said, "I’ll have our team’s mages come help you."

After saying this, he turned around to give orders to his team, "Moumou, Yue’er, the two of you will follow Dean Shariya’s instructions to decipher these runes."

"Understood!" The two nodded, agreeing without hesitation.

"Her name is Moumou?" Feliz muttered to herself.

Luo did not pay attention to her muttering, instead he looked at her and asked, "Feliz, are you willing to follow my command now?"

"Of course, I am!" Feliz responded affirmatively, her cheeks involuntarily turned pink.

"Very well, you don’t have to do anything. Stay and help your Dean decipher these runes." Luo nodded and said.

"Understood!" Feliz nodded, relieved that Luo had not noticed her flushed face.

"Additionally," Luo turned around and directed Cheng Ziang and Yalunte, "Ziang, Mr. Sword Saint, the two of you will act as the reconnaissance team and find a way to infiltrate Lipei. Use mechanical cameras to take photos of the Otherworld Gate’s runes."

These two both had the typical looks of Aud people, making them suitable for such undercover tasks. Luo knew both of them could not draw, so he had to settle for photographs. If he had enough manpower, he would rather have Baiyue go in and sketch it out herself.

"Leave it to us!" Yalunte answered first, full of enthusiasm.

Yalunte was very pleased with Luo’s decision to pair him with his son, whether it was intentional or not.

"What are you so excited about?" Cheng Ziang glanced at him, puzzled. As far as he was concerned, such a reconnaissance mission was as routine as breakfast, so he did not feel particularly thrilled.

"Little Ke, we’ll be on guard, ensuring they’re all well-protected!" Luo pointed at Shariya and the girls, then told Hu Daoke.

"Trust me, anyone who dares to get close will be blown to pieces by my machine gun!" Daoke confidently thumped his chest.

"We’re not far from Lipei, gunshots could possibly attract nearby soldiers, remember to use a silencer," Luo’er warned.

"Understood!" Hu Daoke nodded.

"By the way, how do we infiltrate Lipei?" Cheng Ziang furrowed his brows, lost in thought.

"You forgot, there are still some corpses lying over there," Yalunte pointed towards the direction of the mages and spoke to him.

"Wearing dead people’s clothes again..." Cheng Ziang muttered, a look of disgust on his face.

However, this was indeed a good method for infiltration. These mages were just temporary recruits, with no formal organizational structure, so they could take advantage of this disorganization to infiltrate covertly.

After arranging everything, the two didn’t idle, voluntarily returning to the battlefield. When they had left, they hid all the corpses together, so up till now, these bodies have not been discovered by anyone.

Cheng Ziang scowled, exaggeratedly covering his nose with a cloth, and with a disgusted look, stripped off the clothes from the corpses. After taking off the clothes, he did not immediately wear them, preferring to wait until the stench of death had dissipated.

Compared to Cheng Ziang, Yalunte was less hesitant. He briskly stripped the clothes off the corpses, immediately putting on each piece he removed. It didn’t take long for him to strip a body completely, quickly changing into the clothes.

After changing clothes, Yalunte noticed that this outfit was much cleaner. Comparatively, the clothes he took off were filled with the smell of sweat, no wonder he had been disliked by Feliz.

After taking forever, Cheng Ziang finally changed clothes. However, their appearances seemed odd, dressed in Mage’s outfits yet each carrying a sword.

But it didn’t matter, as they were civilian Mages, whose skill levels and equipment varied widely. There were many who carried old-fashioned rifles, let alone those carrying rocket launchers. Obviously if their magic could not kill the enemy, they would certainly use physical methods to solve the problem.

"Let’s go!" Having changed clothes, Cheng Ziang walked over to Yalunte and said.

"Listen carefully, when we infiltrate, follow my instructions," Yalunte glanced at him, continuing, "Although you’ve learned formal reconnaissance methods, dealing with these people, you’ll definitely not be as skilled as me."

"I know!" Cheng Ziang didn’t argue and nodded his agreement to his instructions.

Seeing him nodding, Yalunte chuckled triumphantly, and the pair then began to move towards Lipei.

Meanwhile, with the help of the three girls, Shariya began analyzing the rune of the Otherworld Gate, hoping to find clues. This analysis was somewhat similar to a mathematical model, requiring a large amount of calculations to trace the path of magical flow.

In the process of computation, the outstanding performance of Tangmo and Baiyue greatly impressed Shariya. Tangmo was definitely not a beginner Mage, her understanding of magic, especially runes, was very profound, even surpassing him in some aspects.

She could easily and quickly compute the path and effects of a complex rune, which greatly reduced his workload, making him confident of successful analysis this time.

Besides Tangmo, Baiyue’s performance was equally astonishing. Her computational skills were impressive, or in Tangmo’s words, Baiyue was just like a living computer. She could write out a long strand of mathematical formulas for deduction just by looking at it once.

With the assistance of these two people, Shariya’s work was actually going quite smoothly and swiftly. Tangmo would quickly unravel the runes, and when large amounts of computations were needed, Baiyue would take over. With their cooperation, Shariya even felt somewhat redundant.

Compared to the outstanding performances of the two, Feliz paled in comparison. As a magic student, her abilities were indeed limited, only able to perform simple transcription tasks. Many of the runes that Tangmo could analyze at a glance, seemed to Feliz no different from gibberish.

In front of the two talented people, Feliz’s self-esteem was severely hit. However, she didn’t shut down, and instead, actively did what she could.

The essence of magic and science were not that different, just different physical laws being applied. Science needs to explore patterns and essence, and so does magic. To explore the patterns and essence of magic, a great deal of calculation is also required.

In other words, mathematicians from Earth, would be in demand in the Otherworld. Just like the saying on Earth. Learn well in math, physics, and chemistry, and there’s nothing to fear in the world. In the Otherworld, this translates to, learn well in math, physics, and chemistry, and there’s nothing to fear in Earth and the Otherworld.

In this way, under the efforts of the four, the mysterious veil of the Otherworld Gate was gradually being lifted. It’s just unknown whether the opening of the second Otherworld Gate to Earth is good or bad news for Earth.
