I Created Scientific Magic

Chapter 25: Sorry, Aliens Have No Human Right

Translator: Lonelytree

In the evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun was about to dissipate, Lin En had been drifting on the sea for almost a day!

Since he had borrowed this troublesome longsword from Joni, he hesitated for a while before throwing it away. Instead, he spent two hours learning how to swim backstroke and doggy paddle in the water under the guidance of artificial intelligence.

“071, the next time we encounter such a situation, you should warn me in advance.” Lin En paddled with difficulty to avoid bumping into the protruding rocks in front of him.

[According to the agreement, 17 hours, 23 minutes, and 50 seconds ago, the system warning was turned off…]

“Then switch it on for me now!” Lin En said subconsciously and immediately regretted it.

[You have an unresolved criminal record. Do you want to defend yourself online?]

Lin En sighed helplessly. He almost faced the projection of the gods. He hoped that the federal police would take him away from this evil medieval world.

Perhaps he could even get a huge reward for being the first to discover an extraterrestrial life planet.

Unfortunately, this fantasy was destined never to come true. Before he transmigrated, the range of the Federation’s spaceship was limited to the solar system. It did not have the ability to travel far into the galaxy…

Moreover, he couldn’t even find a signal. There was no way the Federation could come here!

Lin En, who was very familiar with the operating logic of the artificial intelligence system, suddenly said after thinking for a moment.

“071, locate the planet based on the available information.”

[Detected that the planet possesses an unknown energy called magic, and it is beyond the coverage of the Uranus signal tower. The current location is predicted to be in an unknown galaxy outside the Milky Way-Orion’s Cantilever-Solar System. Unable to determine if they are in the same universe.]

“Then please describe the definition of protecting extraterrestrial life forms in the Intelligent Management Act!” Lin En said again.

[The Intelligent Management Act does not have any protection regulations for extraterrestrial life forms…]

071’s answer was very concise. As the Federation had not discovered any extraterrestrial civilizations in the process of exploring the universe, they naturally would not add any regulations to the Intelligent Management Law to protect extraterrestrial life forms.

“So aliens have no human rights, right? In fact, I didn’t commit a crime!” Lin En said seriously.

The high-speed operating artificial intelligence seemed to have paused for a moment. After consuming one-thousandth of its energy to calculate, it gave the answer.

[The logical chain has been established. The criminal record has been erased!]

Upon hearing this, Lin En finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that no matter what he did in the future, there would not be any more annoying warnings that he had committed a crime.

After all, the laws of the Federation did not apply to the Otherworld…

He made up his mind that once he became an official Mage and was able to use his magic power freely, he would study whether he could improve the intelligence of this AI.

Just as he was thinking about it, sparks of fire appeared on the endless water in the distance. As he approached, a tall city wall appeared in front of him. The fire he saw before was just a bonfire on the battlements.

After floating on the water for a day, he finally saw something different. Lin En was a little excited, but he didn’t rashly approach. Instead, he decided to go ashore nearby and wait until tomorrow to investigate what this place was.

The previous battle outside Ur Town had caused quite a commotion, and it had not been able to wipe out everyone. The news might have already spread.

Lin En had no doubt that the entire Nordland Hill was under martial law. His hair color, age, and figure were all very obvious signs. If he did not put on some disguise, he would probably be arrested the moment he entered.

Realizing this, Lin En changed his posture from the effortless backstroke to the less skilled doggy paddle, preparing to go ashore to avoid detection.

At this moment, something heavy fell from the towering city wall in front of them. With a dull sound, a wave of water splashed high up, and then the ripples on the water’s surface gradually expanded as if something was struggling underwater.

“Is it a human?” Lin En’s pupils contracted. He hesitated for a moment but still swam over at an extremely fast speed.

This might look like murder, but Lin En needed someone to answer some questions.

Water splashed everywhere, and the clear surface of the lake had long been dyed red.

Lin En was even more certain of his previous guess. Before he could save him, a hand reached out from the bottom of the lake and pulled him down desperately.

This was a common stress reaction of drowning people. Sometimes, it would even drag the rescuer to the bottom of the water. Fortunately, Lin En did not have to worry about oxygen. He pulled the other person’s collar and swam to the shore.

..

An hour later, in a natural karst cave outside the city, a raging flame gradually ignited, illuminating and dispelling the chill of the night.

While he was drying his clothes, Lin En turned to look at the young man he had ” saved “.

It was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had an ordinary face and a hair color that was very similar to his. What made Lin En sigh was that there was a deep wound on his chest. Someone had probably stabbed him in the heart with a dagger.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have bothered about saving this man. After spending so much effort, he actually managed to save a corpse.

Lin En shook his head helplessly, but he still carried out the work of searching the corpse according to the usual practice. After all, this was a noble’s son at a glance. He might be able to find some good things.

Three gold coins, a dozen silver coins, a few exquisite ornaments, and a book with no name on the cover that was soaked in water. These were all the assets of the young man in front of him.

For a noble child, this was undoubtedly a bit shabby, but for Lin En, it was already a windfall.

In the Saikas Empire, one copper coin could buy a piece of black bread and solve the problem of food and clothing.

The exchange rate between silver coins and copper coins was not fixed. It was usually around 1:80, while the exchange rate between gold and silver was above 1:100. If there was a war, it could be even higher.

After all, gold was considered a rare element in the entire universe, and its reserves were very limited…

However, since these things were still on the corpse, the motif wouldn’t be robbery.

Lin En tossed the coin in his hand. He wasn’t a professional detective, but after carefully examining the wound on the corpse’s chest, his expression suddenly paused. Then, he held a dagger in his right hand and tried to stab his chest at a similar angle.

The angle of the wound was exactly the same…

This was… Suicide?

Lin En immediately realized this possibility. After thinking for a while, he reached out and picked up the book. He used his nails to open the water-soaked page gently. The words on it were very scribbled, but the penmanship was very sturdy. The words seemed to have been carved.

[Maybe without me, everything will be fine…]
