Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 397
As he moved forward, Lando would dig into the ground from time to time. Most of the time, he found nothing, but occasionally he could bring out one or two [Sands of Time].

Looking at the dozens of golden sand grains in the special bottle in his hand, Lando was also a little speechless.

With the sensing ability of his own path as a grand arcanist, even the gray soil cannot completely shield it, so as long as the distance is close enough, Lando can still sense a trace of abnormality.

But this accuracy rate is really a bit unsatisfactory.

Along the way, Lando made at least a hundred shots, but in the end he only caught these dozen or so golden sand grains.

Putting away the bottle, Lando looked into the distance.

At this time, three days have passed since he entered the secret realm of the "Abandoned River of Time". Although he is not walking slowly, because of the chaotic and changing time fluctuations of the outside world, he can't go where he wants to go like in the outside world. just go there.

The color of the soil on the ground has changed from the original gray to the current dark gray, which to some extent represents the distance he has penetrated into the secret realm of time.

According to the basic information of the secret realm obtained by Lando, it can be calculated that if he continues to advance at this speed, he will be able to enter the middle area in less than ten days, and by then it will not be as comfortable and peaceful as it is now.

A human-shaped shadow appeared in the distance. Judging from the appearance of that shadow, it seemed to be... digging the ground? !

The other party also seemed to have noticed Lando coming from a distance, stopped his movements and walked further away, as if unwilling to communicate with Lando too much.

Lando shrugged indifferently, he also encountered this kind of situation in the past few days.

Those who are 'mining' in the shallow area are undoubtedly legendary arcanists who are high above the outside world, and it is normal not to want this gesture to be seen.

Moreover, although the secret realm belongs to the empire, it may not be absolutely safe.

Benefits are so exciting no matter when and where.

Eight days later, Lando was convinced that he had entered the middle zone, and the evidence was the faintly visible turbulence of time.

It's just that the turbulent flow of time seen now is very gentle, and it is only slightly larger than the time changes in the outside world.

The so-called turbulent flow of time is essentially the 'temporal storm' caused by the excessive disturbance of time power and the imbalance between regions.

This can basically refer to the formation of wind.

The breeze on the pavement is also the wind, and the turbulent waves that tear the sky are also the wind!
Lando had no interest in these, and continued to move forward without haste.

Although the [Sand of Time] contained in the soil here is more abundant, it suppresses and interferes with perception more, and the probability of perception errors also increases greatly. From this point of view, the overall income is also relatively shallow. It's just that the upper floor area is slightly higher, and it's not worth the risk for legendary arcanists to come here.

Lando took out the gold pocket watch that Xiaojin gave him. He had taken it out several times in the shallow area, but at that time the gold pocket watch did not respond. Now that he came to the middle area, he could clearly It feels like a little bit of power of time has been injected into it.

This convinced Lando that the actual purpose of the gold pocket watch was to activate it only after entering this secret realm of time, and judging by the current appearance, there was a high probability that it would need to be carried to the depths of the secret realm!

With an inexplicable thought in his heart, Lando put away the gold pocket watch after thinking for a while. No matter what, going to the deep area of ​​the secret realm was originally in Lando's plan.

However, although he has a good relationship with the tree spirit old man, he has no knowledge of the so-called Xiao Jin at all. Although the tree spirit old man said that the little mist was given to him by that Xiao Jin, the other party just invested in him in advance through the ability of time, so that in the future It can help the other party, but this kind of words can't make Lando completely at ease.

So you still need to be prepared and vigilant!

The progress is still going on. According to the description in the basic information and the time Lando walked in the shallow area, it can be roughly calculated that if he does not stop and there is no large-scale time turbulence blocking the way, it will take about two months. Time can go to the deep area.

This has been quite a long time, one must know that there is a limit to the amount of time the legendary Arcanists and Grand Arcanists can afford to enter this 'abandoned river of time' secret realm.

Because of time disturbance, this disturbance will continue to accumulate on the entrants over time, even in the weakest shallow area, the longest time Lando can stay will not exceed five years.

If it goes deep into the middle region or even the deep region, the residence time will be greatly shortened due to the intensification of time disturbance.

Of course, the stay time here is the absolute time of the arcanists in the secret realm, and the acceleration or deceleration of time caused by experiencing time turbulence is not included.

This is also the reason why most legendary arcanists are only willing to 'mine' in shallow areas, after all, doing so is the most cost-effective.

A few days later, Lando, who was progressing boredly, was startled suddenly.

He took out the anchor pointer from his arms. At this time, the anchor pointer was turning in disorder, but most of the time it pointed to a certain direction to the front right. Of course, that place was not the anchor point of the empire, but the coming chaos of time. flow.

Judging by the degree of confusion of the anchor pointer, the scale and degree of this wave of time turbulence should not be large.

Lando thought for a while and decided to go and have a look.

After all, as he continues to go deep into the depths of the Time Secret Realm, the most common natural disaster in the Secret Realm, the turbulent flow of time, will definitely be encountered frequently, so it is necessary to test a little in advance.

After adjusting the direction, Lando continued to move forward.

After more than ten minutes, an area that moved at a constant speed like a 'sea tide' appeared in front of Lando. It was a special natural disaster in the Time Secret Realm... the turbulent flow of time!
Looking around, the entire area ahead was almost filled with this 'wave', and there was no end in sight.

Lando no longer hesitated, and stepped into it.

If Lando was like walking in the deep sea in the secret realm of time before, then after entering the turbulent flow of time now, it is like encountering a disorderly undercurrent at the bottom of the sea. The chaotic power of time in all directions seems to pull him It's all in a mess.

In other words, the path of the great arcanist guards the whole body, which is constant and can easily counteract this chaotic power of time. The words of the legendary arcanist may not last long at all.

Lando looked to the back, obviously that was the direction he just entered, and obviously the turbulent flow of time was not moving fast, but at this time he could no longer see the scenery of the stable area behind.

The anchor pointer and the guidance of the energy line are all useless, and only the sensitivity of the Grand Arcanist to the power of time allows Lando to barely discern his own position.

Stepping backwards along the direction of entry, Lando left the time turbulence area not long after.

After confirming that he would not be in danger, Lando entered it again.

At the same time, he also noticed that perhaps because the power of time was more active, the efficiency of collecting time power by the gold pocket watch was also accelerated.

Because of the flying gray soil mixed in the turbulent flow of time, the interference to perception here is more serious, and the visibility is also greatly shortened.

In the flying gray soil, there is also a hint of golden light from time to time, and those are the [Sands of Time].

In just half a day, Lando's [Sands of Time] harvested in the turbulent flow of time reached about half of all the previous harvests combined.

Suddenly Lando looked forward, perhaps due to some kind of coincidence, the power of a large amount of turbulent time suddenly concentrated on a very small point, just like the vortex formed when different water flows meet, here A small time vortex is also formed in a very short time.

At this moment, a few grains of gray soil happened to pass by here.

There seemed to be a wonderful reaction at this moment. These few gray soils seemed to have been baptized by the years while passing through the vortex of time. They 'slowly' faded the gray texture, emitting golden brilliance from the inside out!

【Sands of Time】? !

Seeing the newly born [Sands of Time] being blown everywhere after leaving the time vortex, Lando couldn't help but feel the shock.

It turns out that [Sands of Time] was born in this way!

Is this the power of time?
Without giving Lando more time to study, the small time vortex has dissipated.

The whole process is extremely fast, taking place in just a few seconds.

Shaking his head regretfully, although he is very interested in this, Lando no longer has the energy to conduct more research on the power of 'time'.

His purpose of entering the 'Abandoned River of Time' this time has always been clear.

The most important thing, of course, is based on his own interests. He wants to explore this secret realm to a certain extent. To put it bluntly, he simply wants to see it.

Secondly, I want to see if I can find some good things like [Sands of Sleep]. After all, resources of this level are of high value, whether they are used for other needs or kept for personal use. choose.

Finally, he tried to unlock the secret of the gold pocket watch, but Lando didn't insist on this.

As he continued to move forward, Lando felt that he had passed the core area of ​​the chaotic flow of time, because the further he went, the disturbance of time became more and more gentle, and he was gradually approaching the intensity when he first entered the chaotic flow of time.

"what?"

Lando suddenly let out a light snort, and he felt different movements coming from other directions.

Maybe other people who entered the secret realm.

Unlike the legendary arcanists in the shallow area, the high probability of being able to enter the middle area and stay in the turbulent flow of time should be the grand arcanist. Lando is still interested in communicating with the latter.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and walked towards the direction where he sensed the commotion.

Not long after, Lando saw a 'net', a large 'net' condensed by the power of the road field!
This 'net' is spread out in a three-dimensional shape, leaving a large gap in the middle, but Lando noticed that whenever [Sands of Time] passed by, it would be absorbed by this big 'net', and those ordinary Gray soils are completely undisturbed.

Lando silently took out the small bottle that had gathered a handful of [Sands of Time] in his arms, and then looked at the other party's collection efficiency.

"..."

At this moment, those who cast the 'net' seemed to have noticed Lando's arrival, and slowly closed the road area.

It was a misunderstanding, Lando waited quietly on the spot.

A moment later, a young man in a casual robe walked towards Lando.

Kieran Ortega? !

The Grand Arcanist, who was active in the Arcane Empire 800 years ago, his path field seems to involve the power of time.

The basic information of this young man popped up in Lando's mind.

Thanks to the system of the rotating speaker, basically all newly promoted grand arcanists will leave a little trace in the history of the empire. With Lando's current authority status, if he wants to find it, he can find almost all the known grand arcanists in the empire. Images and basic data.

and many more!

The power of time?Also Kieran? !

He wouldn't suddenly say to me, 'I saw you die, and you died so badly! ', or 'Do you know what Dora dreamed? 'Is that the case? ! (The lines of old man Kieran in LOL.)
When Lando was performing a small theater in his mind, Kieran also saw the former who disturbed him to collect resources.

Due to the particularity of the secret realm of the "Abandoned River of Time", even Zilan who has the time path can only stay longer than other great arcanists, but cannot stay permanently.

This is of course a matter of course, otherwise the empire would not have set the charging standard for the 'Abandoned River of Time' secret realm as a per-view fee.

So Kieran is not completely out of touch with the empire. Every time the time limit is reached, he will leave the secret realm to relax, and at the same time, he will collect the empire's contribution needed to enter the "Abandoned River of Time" secret realm next time.

I also know about Lando, the upstart of the empire, Kieran. Although counting the time, Lando's duty as the rotating speaker should not be over yet, but Kieran is not surprised to be able to see the former in the Time Secret Realm at this time. .

"Hello, Mr. Kieran, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Although the two parties did not know each other before, this did not prevent Lando from greeting each other familiarly.

Kieran laughed and said, "I'm not surprised that I'm here, Lando, it's an 'accident' for you to be here, right?"

Hearing the teasing meaning in Kieran's words, Lando couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Fortunately, Kieran is also an 'experienced person', and naturally knows the unspoken rules of the Imperial Council, so he skipped this topic and started chatting with Lando.

After a while, Lando changed the subject and asked: "Kieran, in fact, I am here mainly to explore the deep areas of the secret realm. I don't know if you have anything to remind me. Of course, if some secret information is involved, I would like to Use the time resources in your hands to exchange."

Originally, Kieran didn't care much about Lando's words, because he could clearly feel that Lando had come to the Time Secret Realm for the first time, and what he was walking was not a time-like path, and it was almost impossible to gain much along the way.

But when Kieran saw the two bottles that Lando took out, his eyes couldn't help moving.

One bottle is of course [Sands of Time] that Lando collected along the way.

And the other bottle contained what Lando got from Osguto... [Sands of Sleep]!
