Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 394 Pocket Watch

After a while, the light and shadow in Xiaojin's eyes disappeared, and all the images floating in the palace disappeared.

The old tree spirit asked, "How is it?"

Although he asked this question, he actually didn't know what he was asking.

Xiao Jin nodded, then shook his head, frowning tightly, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem.

After a long time, Xiao Jin said to himself: "If I help him once, it may save hundreds of years of time. Do you want to make a move?"

The old tree spirit was suddenly aroused and asked curiously: "What hundreds of years?"

Xiao Jin explained: "I found that if I help Lando once in the near future, I can advance that time node by hundreds of years. Although a few hundred years is just a flick of a finger for me, there may be a lot of potential for him. variable, so I'm considering whether to help him again."

Look what this is saying, hundreds of years are but a flick of a finger?

Even for a long-lived spirit like the tree spirit old man, a few hundred years is not too short.

"Then you can help him." The old tree spirit said, "Why, helping him this time is too expensive?"

Xiao Jin shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that I helped Lando enough for him to do things for me before, and if I do it now, it will be more favored!"

The tree spirit old man was speechless for a long time, and said: "This is not how human relations are calculated. There is no specific value in it to indicate how much you give and how much you can get. Xiaojin, you are too young!"

Xiao Jin said with a puzzled look on his face, "Is...is this...?"

The old tree spirit really hoped that Xiaojin could teach more friends and make more connections with the outside world. Thinking of what the latter said just now, it doesn't need to consume too much, so he said: "Think about it, Lando can reach the one you want ahead of time." Time node, then what you want him to do for you can also be advanced? This can be regarded as helping you by changing directions!"

Xiao Jin still had confusion on his face. To him, hundreds or thousands of years didn't mean much at all, so he didn't understand what the old tree spirit said, but Xiao Jin really wanted him to help him. I heard it.

It's not a big deal at all, so Xiao Jin said: "Well, I'll just help him."

Xiao Jin cupped his hands, and a golden radiance bloomed in his hands.

"Tick tock! ~Tick tock! ~Tick tock!~"

A sound sounded, from the beginning like a breeze blowing, like water droplets falling, gradually became clearer and clearer, it was the sound of the pointer of time jumping.

It goes from the past to the future and traverses from beginning to end!

When the light in Xiao Jin's hand dissipated, a simple gold pocket watch appeared in his hand.

This pocket watch has a light golden luster, without any pattern decoration on the surface, but there is a unique brilliance flowing on it.

There is a button above, and a slender gold chain is attached to the button.

After lightly pressing the button, the pocket watch will open, and a golden river seems to be depicted on the inside of the watch cover, flowing from the home to the end.

There is no scale on the dial, it is also a piece of pure gold, and there is only one pointer, pointing to the top button.

Xiao Jin handed the pocket watch to the old tree spirit, and the latter took it with some confusion.

"Leave this to Lando, it's best within the near future, maybe it won't work if it's too late." Xiao Jin said solemnly.

Old Tree Spirit: ...

Just run errands with me, right? !

The old tree spirit was a little annoyed, and was about to say something when he saw Xiao Jin's body rapidly becoming transparent, and the palace they were in disappeared rapidly.

When he came back to his senses, there was Xiao Jin and the palace, and the surroundings returned to the normal mountain forest.

"Oh!~"

Letting out a helpless sigh, the old tree spirit knew that it was Xiao Jin who was taken away by time, and he had long been used to it.

…………

I do not know how long it has been.

In the void beyond the 'lightless origin', an infinitesimal point was suddenly squeezed out.

During this process, the small point expands rapidly, from point to line, from line to surface, and then expands like an inflated ball with a three-dimensional sense. With the constant changes, countless energies from the outside world are pouring towards him.

In the end, Lando returned to reality.

Lando stared at the 'lightless origin' calmly, still reminiscing about the experience of completely becoming 0-dimensional.

In that state, all the rules in reality are subverted and no longer applicable, leaving only some extremely simple, even crude, basic rules.

Those rules seemed to Lando to be full of loopholes, but they were indeed true and effective.

This made Lando think of the ultimate goal of the Grand Arcanist's path... the unity of all worlds!

"Simple or complex?"

Lando was stunned for a long time, and finally took a deep look at the "Lightless Origin", which really gave him a lot of inspiration.

Of course, the most rewarding thing is the birth and evolution of dimensions.

This time Lando went in the opposite direction, directly experiencing all the processes from the collapse of reality to 0-dimensional, and then reversed. It can be said that he understood all of them.

This can't help but remind Lando of a famous weapon in the science fiction of his previous life... the two-way foil!

This is a powerful ability to directly 'make' reality into a picture.

But in order to really research this powerful dimensional arcane, there are still many difficulties to be solved, which cannot be reproduced in a short time.

After upgrading the related research in his mind, Lando shook his head, and he decided to finish the research at hand first.

After all, he has been preparing for this for a long time, and now he is almost at the door!

Checking the time, he found that half a year had passed since he entered the 'origin of no light'.

In fact, according to Lando's perception, this time is much longer, but the low-dimensional time has always been chaotic, and the great arcanists can barely control it by relying on their own paths.

After returning to the Silver Tower, Lando first paid close attention to the current situation of the Arcane Council, and he was relieved after confirming that there was nothing serious.

It is definitely impossible to go back, and I have already escaped from the 'sea of ​​bitterness', so how can I still jump into it?

Anyway, he is not the first Grand Arcanist to do this. Everyone is like this. The last one or two years of the rotating speaker are vacations. It can be said that this is the default rule.

After completing the psychological construction, Lando prepared to go to the "abandoned river of time" with peace of mind to see if he could salvage some rare and good things.

Because of the relationship between resource output, there are guards specially stationed by the empire on the periphery of the 'Abandoned River of Time', and those with authority can go there directly to register and enter, and there is no need to search for it like going to the 'Origin of Lightless' Number one' application.

Just when Lando was about to leave, a message from Gastro Academy temporarily interrupted his plan.

"Spirit Paradise? The old tree spirit? What does the old man want from me?"

After reading the message, Lando said to himself strangely.

But it was simply a matter of turning a corner, Lando went to Gastro College first.

In the Paradise of Spirits, little Liuli felt the familiar aura, and immediately came out from the heart universe, and ran out with several other little ones.

Looking at the little guys who were eager to try, Lando smiled and said, "Go and play."

The little guys 'cheered' and disappeared in an instant.

Lando shook his head dotingly, turned and walked towards the old tree spirit.

Coming to the main body of the tree spirit old man, it is still surrounded by all kinds of spirits.

Under the curious gazes of these spirits, Lando walked up to the old tree spirit's body, knocking on the door and shouting, "Senior, I'm here."

A ray of green light condensed, and the old tree spirit who looked like a little old man appeared.

"Senior, what do you need from me?" Lando asked.

The old tree spirit nodded, then shook his head and said, "Let's go."

Following the old tree spirit shuttle in the forest, Lando's vision is different now, he can see that the entire spirit paradise itself should be a huge and strange spirit, which should be similar to the strange star Lando had been looking for .

Its real name should be Spirit Star, or Star Spirit!
Lando could feel the unimaginably huge spirituality surging under his feet, like the blood vessels of life, transporting energy and nutrition.

Soon, the two came to a place that looked like a plantation, where various special spiritual plants grew everywhere, and Lando even saw some quite rare mutant varieties in it.

And the concentration of spiritual energy here is two or three times that of other places.

The old tree spirit led Lando to a small field, pointed to the plants in it and said, "This is the Fresen's flower that you asked me to research for you. After so many years of cultivation, although it cannot be reproduced The special environment you mentioned cannot give birth to the so-called core flower, but the special mutant variety you want that can give birth to the power of the world has finally achieved results."

"There are currently three stable mutated varieties. The No. 30 mutated variety is the simplest. You only need to use a specific method to continuously stimulate the Fresen's flower with spirituality, and you can make it get a benign mutation, and it won't take too long. , but this variety probably only has about 40% to [-]% of the efficacy of the core flower."

"The No. 20 mutant variety can be regarded as a special optimization of the No. 70 mutant variety, but the success rate of this optimized mutation is very low, less than [-]%. The optimized No. [-] mutant variety can probably reach about [-]% of the core flower. effect."

"The No. 150 mutated variety is not that simple. Unlike the No. 200 and No. [-] mutated varieties, which only need special spiritual means to induce mutations, No. [-] needs to add various rare materials to it to cultivate successfully, but No. [-] However, its efficacy is far higher than that of the core flower, which can reach an efficiency of more than [-]%. According to my speculation, different material ratios will also affect the final efficiency, and the highest should reach about [-]%."

"The relative data of No. [-] and No. [-] is already perfect. You can try to optimize it in research to see if you can get other different results. There is still a lot of room for improvement on No. [-], but my old man's The materials are not enough to consume, so I can only help you get here, and you can figure out the rest.”

As he spoke, the old tree spirit handed a piece of information to Lando.

Lando thankfully accepted it, and checked it immediately. After a while, he put away the documents in his hands, with a satisfied smile still on his face.

In this regard, the old tree spirit is actually quite satisfied. Studying various plants is not only his hobby, but also his own path.

What's more, after researching some special rare varieties, the follow-up benefits will be quite considerable.

After finishing this matter, the old tree spirit said to Lando: "I called you here mainly because of another matter."

Lando seemed to be listening.

The old tree spirit said: "Do you know that there is a special spirit living in our spirit paradise."

Lando blinked speechlessly. He didn't stay at Gastro Academy for a long time, and most of the secrets here were heard from Strand when chatting with him. He basically didn't inquire about it on purpose what.

The old tree spirit shrugged his shoulders and said clearly: "This special spirit is temporarily living in our spirit paradise, and the ability he possesses is also very strange and special, that is... time!"

"The Spirit of Time?!" Lando exclaimed.

The spirit of rules can be said to be born to master the law it represents. Xiaokong, the spirit of the maze, only grasps the maze rules that are related to space, which is already incomprehensible. to what extent.

The old tree spirit shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the spirit of time, but... well, I can't tell, anyway, that's what he told me, he said he is not the spirit of time, but a spirit with the ability of time. "

"That's not the point!"

The old tree spirit was very angry, as if he was blaming Lando for interrupting him.

Lando: ...

"He calculated that after a certain world node in the future, he will need you to help him once. For this, he has already paid the price in advance."

Hearing what the old tree spirit said, Lando was a small head with a question mark '? '.

In fact, Lando was not completely unaware of the special spirit that the old tree spirit mentioned. When he came to the Paradise of Spirits a long time ago, he could occasionally feel an inexplicable existence watching him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't Unable to sense the source of sight, so many times he had to leave in a hurry.

Now that I understand the power of time used by the opponent, everything can be explained.

But for the price that the old tree spirit said the other party had paid in advance...

Seeing Lando's puzzled look, the tree spirit old man explained: "He gave you the Mist Spirit back then, and he said that the price is enough."

Spirit of Mist?Little mist? !
Lando's thoughts went back to the past. Indeed, without Little Misty, he would not have been able to successfully find the Mother of Eerie Spirits. In that case, his subsequent development may have changed a lot from the present.

Lando said solemnly: "If that's the case, I'm accepting his favor, but what exactly does he want me to do for him?"

The old tree spirit shook his head and said, "I don't know, Xiao Jin just said that it hasn't reached that point yet."

Lando nodded and said, "Okay, if the help he asks of me is not beyond my ability, I can do it."

The old tree spirit smiled and said: "It seems that the spirit of the mist really helped you a lot. By the way, Xiao Jin asked me to give you this, as if it could advance the time point by hundreds of years." .”

As he spoke, the old tree spirit took out the gold pocket watch that Xiao Jin gave him and handed it to Lando.

　There is something wrong, I haven't reviewed the manuscript yet, I sent it first, the typo will be revised when I come back at night.

　　………Okay, it’s over.
