Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 398 In-depth
Kieran narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with an interested voice: "[Sleep Crystal]?"

"[Crystal of Sleep]? What is that?"

Lando showed doubts, and looked at the [Sand of Sleep] in his hand, feeling a little puzzled.

Noticing Lando's expression, Kieran came back to his senses and said: "The ones in your hands are also called [Sands of Sleep] in the outside world, because at least they seem to be sand-shaped."

Seeing Lando still looking at him with puzzled eyes, Kieran felt a little bored, and then explained seriously: "But in fact, their real name is [Slumber Crystal], which is a unique treasure in the deep area of ​​the Time Secret Realm." Treasures, every complete piece of [Slumbering Crystal] is extremely precious, and its function is also very simple and powerful. It can freeze time, as long as it is not broken by external force, it can seal something nondestructively and permanently, or People! Once it is fully activated, it can completely freeze the time in a certain area!"

【Crystal of Sleep】?Being able to seal someone or something indestructibly and permanently? !Can you freeze time? !

sleep?No wonder it is called Shenmian!
At the beginning, Lando was a little puzzled by the name of [Sand of Sleep] in his hand, because according to its function, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it 'Sand of Confusion'? !

"The [Sands of Sleep] in your hands should be the products left after the [Crystal of Sleep] was broken for some reason. Although they no longer have the characteristic of being able to freeze time forever, they are not made of ordinary time materials. Comparable ones can generally only be found in deep areas, and the probability of digging in middle areas is very low." Kieran explained in detail.

Lando nodded, expressing his understanding.

After pondering for a moment, Kieran said: "The [Slumbering Crystal] is extremely precious to the grand arcanists of our time path, and this is considered a rather secret knowledge, which is rarely heard of by arcanists who do not involve the time domain. Although [Sand of Sleep] is far inferior to [Crystal of Sleep], it is still a good resource for me, and it would be feasible to exchange the hidden information in the deep area of ​​the Time Secret Realm with this."

In fact, Kieran did not say something clearly, that is, [Sands of Sleep] is not only as simple as "not bad" for him, based on his path, if he can collect enough [Sands of Sleep] Sand], he is sure to condense it into a real [Slumbering Crystal], and the benefits at that time will not only be as simple as ten times a hundred times.

Lando didn't hesitate after listening to Kieran's words, and directly threw the two bottles in his hand to the latter. As for [Sands of Time], it's just an addition, after all, they have already been taken out, and it is a bit inappropriate to take them back. .

Of course, this is mainly because in the eyes of Lando today, this [Sands of Time] is not very precious, otherwise he would not be so generous.

After taking the bottle thrown by Lando, Kieran didn't pay too much attention to [Sands of Time], which was not enough for him to collect in a few minutes.

He shook the bottle containing the [Sand of Sleep] gently, feeling the impact of the dark golden sand in it, with a satisfied look on his face.

Putting the bottle away, Kieran organized his language a bit and said: "Actually, from the perspective of our great arcanists collecting resources, the middle area is considered to be the most cost-effective, and the deep area is not only more dangerous, but also has a longer residence time." The shortening of the range, if it is not lucky to get some rare resources, is completely worth the candle."

"The most important point is that there are time beings in the deep area. Precious resources like [Slumber Crystal] belong to them. Once a new treasure is successfully condensed and born, it will be taken away by them directly. , For them, they have their own method of treasure hunting and positioning, so unless we are very lucky, it will be difficult for us to win them."

Lando frowned slightly, "The Abandoned River of Time" is the property of the Arcane Empire after all, why now, according to Kieran, those time-like beings living in this secret realm who are "lingering on their last legs" are actually a bit anti-customer? !

This made Lando, who already had a strong sense of identity with the Arcane Empire and was currently the rotating speaker, instinctively disliked it.

Seeing Lando's expression, Kieran seemed to understand the former's thoughts, and said helplessly: "Hey, don't blame them, those time-like life forms are not easy!"

Hearing this, Lando's mouth twitched.

Could it be that?
Kieran shook his head and said: "As far as I know, these time-type beings are 'wage earners' belonging to the empire. Most of their harvest needs to be handed over to the empire, and only a small part can be kept for their own use."

really……

As long as it doesn't kill you, cut it to death!
This really is an arcane empire!

Seeing that Lando already understood, Kieran continued: "After entering the deep area, you only need to pay attention to those extremely dangerous areas."

"It's like the turbulence of time. If these in the middle area are just cool winds in summer, then in the deep area are the raging tornadoes above the sea! Although it may contain a lot of precious resources, it is not yet the second stage. The great arcanist can avoid it if he can."

Lando nodded slightly. The second-stage grand arcanist that Kieran was talking about was a grand arcanist who could suppress the laws around him after opening the path domain.

For example, the four great arcanists who blocked hell by relying on their own domain for a long time belonged to the third stage of the great arcanists.

Because reality is not a game, and there is no such thing as professional balance, the path of a great arcanist is naturally divided into strengths and weaknesses. This also involves the inheritance of the school's secret treasures and its own unique knowledge. Unified standards can only be divided and expressed in vague stages.

Of course, what can really represent the true strength of an Arcanist is never the amount of combat power he can burst out temporarily, but how much knowledge he has mastered that can solve problems!
"In addition to the most common time turbulence, you also need to pay special attention to several special time natural disasters in the deep area..."

"'Afterimages of time' records some major historical afterimages in that universe. It may be a certain battle, it may be the projection of a strong person, and of course it may be some major historical events. If you encounter The latter ones are nothing, but if you encounter the former ones, you have to be careful, anyway, they are also large-scale universes, strong enough to leave behind the afterimages of history, not to be underestimated!"

"'Infinity Corridor' is a kind of time-space labyrinth. Once trapped in it, it is quite unfriendly to arcanists who have no research on the power of time. It is almost impossible for you to walk out alone. Fortunately, 'Infinite Corridor' There is no time disturbance in the Corridor, that is, there is no limit to the time of staying in the secret realm."

"It is said that during the period when this time secret realm was first established, unlucky grand arcanists would be trapped in the 'Infinity Corridor' almost every few years. For this reason, the empire specially marked the anchor pointer. Once If the anchor pointer cannot feel the time disturbance from the outside world, and the grand arcanist does not come out, it is basically certain that it is lost in the "Infinity Corridor", and the empire will naturally send the grand arcanist to rescue, but The price...not only is it expensive, but you have to pay double!"

When talking about this, Kieran smiled, condensed a golden light ball and said: "How about it, do you want to get an insurance from me, once this 'Time Beacon' is broken, it can guide me to you If you are really trapped in the 'Infinity Corridor', you only need to smash it, and I will go to rescue you, and the rescue fee will only charge you the market price, which is definitely faster and cheaper than the imperial rescue, how? ?”

The corner of Lando's mouth twitched slightly, but after thinking about it, he still took the 'Beacon of Time', after all, he was well prepared.

Kieran added with a bigger smile on his face: "It is my time power that supports this 'Beacon of Time'. It can last for about three years, and it will disappear naturally after that. I think it should be enough time. Bar."

Lando nodded, knowing that this was Kieran's insurance, but considering that his stay would be further shortened after he went to the deep area of ​​the Time Secret Realm, three years was indeed enough for him.

Putting his smile away, Kieran continued: "Actually, the first two items are all good. In the deep area, the most worthy of your vigilance is 'time and space reincarnation'. This is a very dangerous time disaster for us great arcanists." , once involved in it, even the grand arcanist may be obliterated by the power of time and reincarnation!"

Lando showed seriousness when he heard the words, he was already thinking about whether to go to the deep area to explore, this sounds a bit too scary, right? !

It's not worth it to take such a big risk just to satisfy one's own curiosity.

This is not cowardice, this is the caution that an Arcanist should have!
Kieran suddenly showed a wicked smile and said: "Then, I will tell you about the specific birth signs and avoidance methods of these time natural disasters!"

Lando: ...

In the following time, Kieran told Lando in detail about the birth signs and avoidance methods of most time natural disasters in the deep area.

Basically, as long as you do what Kieran said, and if you are not too careless, the danger of the deep area to the Grand Arcanist will be greatly reduced.

In the end, Kieran said: "Most people divide the Time Secret Realm into shallow, middle and deep layers. This statement is actually not accurate. In the deepest part of the Secret Realm, there is a core area, where time-like life lives. The place is the autonomous region promised to them by the empire, don't step into it, otherwise, although they won't hurt you, it's disgusting enough to banish you for dozens or hundreds of years with the ability of time!"

Lando noticed that Kieran's expression was a little subtle when he said the last sentence, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, maybe this guy has been tricked before, right? !

Thinking of this, Lando asked curiously: "Zieran, have you dealt with those time-like beings? What kind of... form are they?"

Kieran twitched his lips and said: "For those of you arcanists who have no research on the path of time, time-type life forms are no different from ordinary alien races. They will naturally adapt to our dimensional vision and let you see them. The way I want you to see."

"Oh?" Lando asked suspiciously: "So, time life is different in my eyes and in your eyes?"

"Of course!" Kieran said as a matter of course: "According to different perceptions of time, different people see time-like life forms in different ways. The more profound and powerful arcanists with the time path are, the closer they see Shape!"

"By the way, they are like a worm in my eyes, a worm that lives above the time dimension and cannot see the head and the tail."

insect?Time worm? !

Lando nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this so-called time life is really strange.

After chatting for a while, the two bid farewell to each other.

After walking a certain distance, Lando felt that the large 'net' of the domain in the rear opened up again.

An hour later, Lando stepped out of the chaotic flow of time, which took a little over a day in total.

After calculation, the outside world has almost passed three days.

Looking back at the time turbulence slowly creeping forward behind him, according to Kieran, such a relatively gentle time turbulence is the most cost-effective place to capture [Sands of Time].

Occasionally, there may be some good unexpected gains as small surprises, of course, the chances are very small.

Walk forward for a while, until the shadow of the turbulent flow of time is completely lost, and the anchor pointer returns to normal.

In the following time, Lando strode towards the deep area of ​​the secret realm.

He is no longer trying to dig [Sands of Time], and after seeing Zilean's digging efficiency, he feels that he is wasting time.

At the same time, we can avoid the turbulent flow of time along the way.

The anchor pointer did play a role. Although most of the time turbulence Lando encountered was as slow as the one where Zilean was, he also encountered some extremely fast movements, thanks to the anchor pointer. Forewarning, Lando can avoid it.

A month later.

"Is this the deep area of ​​the Time Secret Realm?"

Lando felt the "heaviness" of the sudden increase in the spiritual path, which represented that the time disturbance from the outside world had suddenly increased by an order of magnitude.

Taking out the gold pocket watch, although he couldn't explain it clearly, Lando could vaguely feel that the speed at which the gold pocket watch was absorbing time power was more than ten times faster than that in the middle area.

The golden river engraved on the back of the watch has a feeling of turbulent flow.

The pointer on the dial trembled slightly, as if wanting to point somewhere.

Lando pondered for a while, then put it away.

The deep area is darker than the middle area, just like the difference between the deep sea and the shallow sea.

The energy lines here also move more rapidly.

If you come here, you will be safe. You have already reached the deep area of ​​the Time Secret Realm. Naturally, you have to go deeper to see it. After all, this is one of Lando's goals.

Thinking of this, Lando didn't hesitate anymore, and walked towards the deep area of ​​the secret realm.

Lando didn't know that when he stepped into the deep area, there was also a slight change in the core area of ​​the secret realm, this autonomous area of ​​time-like life!
