Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16526

Chapter 16524 The Castle

“My lord, someone requests an audience. He claims to be Songlin.” A cultivator spoke to a deity sitting behind a table, looking at a piece of metal.

In the divine realm, ordinary cultivators address deities as “my lord,” not “god.

” Upon hearing this, the deity was taken aback, then smiled and said, “Songlin has arrived? Please invite him in.” The cultivator responded and turned to leave.

A short while later, Songlin followed the cultivator into the study. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the cultivator sitting there and said, “Greetings, sir?” This deity was the one Songlin had worked for. To show respect, Songlin had always addressed him as “sir.” Although he had worked for this deity for ten years in exchange for intelligence, the deity had treated him well during those ten years, and their relationship was quite good. Later, this deity even allowed Songlin to leave a year early, so Songlin still held him in high esteem.

The deity chuckled, “Alright, you’re free now, no longer my subordinate. No need for such formalities, come and sit down.”

Song Lin smiled and responded, then sat down directly. After he sat down, the deity looked at Song Lin and said with a smile, “Judging from your appearance, you’re doing quite well.”

Song Lin gave a wry smile and said, “I’ve been hiding here in the Black Sea, occasionally wandering around the market. Today, I happened to see you, sir, so I came to pay my respects. Otherwise, I generally don’t directly contact other people; after all, not many deities are as kind as you, sir.”

“You, don’t tell me that. Just a visit? Isn’t there anything else? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. If I can help you, I certainly will.”

“I have no difficulties. This visit to see you, sir, is not just a simple visit. I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you need me to set up a magic array?”

Upon hearing Song Lin’s words, the deity was taken aback. He then looked at Song Lin and asked, “What? You know such a person?”

Song Lin nodded and said, “Yes, I recently met someone like that. Their magic array techniques are extremely advanced. He ascended to heaven because of a magic array. Seeing that you have arrived, sir, I wanted to ask you about it. This is an opportunity, and if I miss it…” “It would be such a pity if it passed.”

Upon hearing this, the deity was somewhat tempted. He looked at Song Lin and said, “I do have something I’d like to ask a master of magic arrays. If he’s truly that skilled, then have him come. As long as his answer satisfies me, rest assured, I won’t mistreat him.”

Song Lin had only been trying his luck today, but unexpectedly, it actually worked. He immediately said, “Alright, sir, I’ll have him come right now.” After saying that, he directly took out his communication array and made a call to Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai quickly answered the phone and said, “Fellow Daoist Song Lin, what’s the matter?”

Song Lin immediately said, “Fellow Daoist Magic Array, come quickly to the market, there’s good news.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai was taken aback, then immediately said, “Okay, wait a moment, I’ll be right there.” After saying that, Zhao Hai hung up the phone.

The deity, having overheard Song Lin and Zhao Hai’s conversation, looked at Song Lin with some surprise and said, “You two seem to have a good relationship. He didn’t even ask a single question before coming here.”

Song Lin smiled and replied, “It’s alright. When he first arrived in the Black Sea, I was the first person he encountered. I only helped him with a small favor, but I didn’t expect him to remember it all this time.”

The deity nodded and said, “In that case, he seems like someone worth befriending.” Song Lin smiled in response.

The two chatted for a few more minutes when Song Lin’s communication array beeped. He picked it up and answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, he heard Zhao Hai say, “Fellow Daoist Song Lin, I’ve arrived. Where are you?”

Song Lin immediately replied, “Go to the third level and find a large magical artifact that looks like a castle. I’ll be right here.” After saying that, he hung up the phone, then stood up and said to the deity, “My lord, I’ll go meet him.” The deity nodded, and Song Lin bowed to him before leaving the study.

This is indeed a magical artifact resembling a castle. It’s not very large, and the whole castle looks a bit like a ship, except that there are many protrusions on the side of the ship. These are the horse-faced decorations on the castle. The whole castle looks very exquisite.

As soon as Song Lin arrived outside the castle, he saw Zhao Hai’s Green Leaf Boat. Zhao Hai was standing at the bow of the boat, and Song Lin immediately went to greet him.

Upon seeing Song Lin, Zhao Hai immediately put away his Green Leaf Boat and flew directly to Song Lin’s side. Song Lin said to Zhao Hai, “I summoned you here because an important person has some questions for you. This person is the one who helped me before. He is extremely powerful and very generous. If your answer satisfies him, he will definitely reward you handsomely.”

Zhao Hai quickly replied, “Thank you.”

Song Lin said, “Don’t mention it. Let’s go in and talk inside the castle.” He then led Zhao Hai into the castle. A castle like this was practically a divine kingdom; without the master’s permission, they couldn’t enter. Of course, they had already obtained the master’s permission, so they entered the castle directly.

Zhao Hai was surveying the castle, but upon entering, he frowned slightly, though he said nothing. He followed Song Lin and the other man to a room inside. They stopped before the room, and a voice came from within, “Come in.”

Song Lin responded and led Zhao Hai inside. The room was very simple, with stone walls and nothing particularly special. There were few decorations, not even bookshelves, just a desk and three chairs. The room was very simple.

This room mirrored the style of the castle itself. This castle wasn’t just for show; it was a real castle designed for battle, everything within it serving the purpose of warfare.

As Zhao Hai was examining the room, the deity was also observing him. He glanced at Zhao Hai; Zhao Hai’s aura was somewhat unusual, which caught his attention.

These people had all reached the god-level in strength, and were already immortal. The laws they had comprehended were completely integrated with their temperament. Therefore, their temperament was closely related to their cultivation methods. Zhao Hai gave them a feeling of calmness, a very calm temperament. However, he didn’t bow to Zhao Hai, after all, his strength had already reached the celestial god level. So he simply sat there looking at Zhao Hai, and then asked, “You are the magic array?”

Zhao Hai quickly bowed to the man and said, “Greetings, sir, I am…” “It is indeed a magic array.”

The man nodded, then said, “Sit down.” The two responded and sat down. After they were seated, the man looked at them and said, “Songlin is an honest man. He has worked for me for over ten years. Although we are not particularly close, we have some acquaintance. I trust his character, so he told me that there is someone who understands magic arrays. I happen to have some questions about magic arrays and wanted to ask someone, so I called you here. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Zhao Hai quickly replied, “Please rest assured, sir, I will certainly not disappoint you.”

The man nodded. He then said, “When I designed this divine kingdom, I consulted a knowledgeable person. Moreover, when he designed the magic array for me, he left interfaces for future upgrades. Originally, I planned to continue using their services, and I had already contacted them and arranged to meet here. However, they were delayed by other matters, so I arrived first. I thought I’d have someone take a look first. You must have seen my castle when you came in. What are your impressions?”

Zhao Hai pondered for a moment after hearing his words, then carefully examined the man, looking somewhat hesitant. The man frowned upon seeing Zhao Hai’s expression. “Just say what you have to say,” Zhao Hai said. “I don’t like people who beat around the bush.”

Zhao Hai took a deep breath, then glanced at the man before continuing, “Since you say so, sir, then I’ll be frank. I have a good relationship with Song Lin. I was being chased into the Black Sea, and it was Song Lin who helped me, so I’m very grateful to him. You also have a good relationship with Song Lin, so I’ll just go with you directly. If you want to believe me, then believe me; if you don’t want to believe me, then just consider it nonsense.”

The man’s brows furrowed even more. Something about Zhao Hai’s words sounded off, as if there was something wrong with his castle.

At this moment, Song Lin spoke up, “Magic array, I know your strength. My relationship with you, sir, is quite good. Just speak your mind.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then glanced at the man and continued, “Sir, when I entered your castle, I noticed the magic array within. It’s primarily a defensive array, but the castle also incorporates ranged attack spells, mainly fire and metal-based. The defensive array is primarily earth-based. Fire generates earth, earth generates metal—it seems like a mutually reinforcing magic array system. Am I right?” As

soon as Zhao Hai finished speaking, the man’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t… When Zhao Hai asked what kind of magic array was in his castle, he had only asked Zhao Hai what he thought of it, actually to test Zhao Hai’s insight. He knew he had spent a fortune setting up the magic array in his divine kingdom, hiring a magic array expert from a creator god-level deity. That expert had told him that the array in his castle was based on the three elements of fire, earth, and metal, and that fire generates earth, earth generates metal, forming a mutually reinforcing system—the same as what Zhao Hai had said. Therefore, he was extremely surprised that Zhao Hai could discern the castle’s secrets with just a glance upon entering.
