Chapter 209 Time Difference
Shani slowly opened her eyes and found herself in the bed of her and Feige's dormitory at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, covered with a quilt and veil. The warm spring sunlight streamed in through the window, outlining the silhouette of Feige sitting on the edge of the bed from behind. "It's good if you're awake. Don't worry, drink some water and eat something. I have come back in response to your call. ”
"Feiqi...... Feiqi, you're all right!" Shani reached under the veil to wipe away her tears, but Feige reached in first. "Don't cry," said Feige, "I'm sorry to have been gone for so long, it's been four and a half months since I heard from Benny." I didn't think it was that long over there, just over three hours. ”
"It seems that Liz's theory is correct......"
"Don't talk about Liz yet, I'll help you up and eat something first. Feige didn't withdraw his already wet fingers, and directly supported her back with her wings to help Shani up from the bed. With his other hand, he casts the "SUA" spell, moving the fluffy white bread and the jam-smeared omelette over him. "Apple juice with some wine can help you refresh yourself – but don't drink too much. ”
"I'm just a little tired, nothing else. How are you, Feige? Sisina said you had encountered a terrible enemy. ”
"Fortunately, although I lost two lives, I finally survived, and I played that guy a trick, not only robbed it of its things, but also left it a big gift. Of course, none of this is more important than being able to come back and reunite with you. With a smile, Feige makes an egg sandwich for Shanny, tears it into triangles, and watches her eat it. He loved the quiet atmosphere around Shani, and nothing was more healing than that.
A very simple breakfast, no matter how cozy it was, wouldn't take long, after which Charney told Feige about what had happened on her side. "Tron came to deliver a message saying that the four of you were going to the Sunset Mountains to scout, and you also built a teleportation array. I think you mean you're ready, don't rush to summon you just yet. ”
"Well, that's exactly what I meant. Feige nodded.
So I waited patiently, for a week, two weeks, three weeks, and there was no news at all. I started to get worried. At that time, Tron, Witch Mama, and Ramsden were all at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they said that patrolling in the Sunset Mountains usually takes about a month, but this time you have only two weeks of supplies with the teleportation array, so it stands to reason that you should return. So I avoided them and came to the three-barrel circle, trying to summon you for the first time. The summoning ritual failed at the very beginning. ”
Xia Ni beckoned, and the black cat jumped on the bed, obediently placing her back under Xia Ni's fingers and stretching comfortably. "Although I was in a hurry, Midnight seemed to be in good shape, and I knew that you were not in danger of dying for the time being. I then increased the quantity and quality of the offerings, but the summoning ritual still failed. Then, out of nowhere, Mohm appeared. ”
Feige nodded, Mom was the first to be teleported and would definitely be by Midnight's side. "When was that?"
"Is Momm showing up until now? Three months plus a few days, I don't remember too well. Shani continued: "Mom is paralyzed all over, and only his eyeballs can move slowly. I tried to help him, but I could see the warning and stop in his eyes, and it was clear that he didn't want me to come closer. At that time, I became cautious and asked him if he was at risk. Mom couldn't quite understand what I was saying, but he could read what I was writing by just holding the paper in front of him for a long time. ”
Fortunately, it was Shani who saw Mohm first!Feige realized that if Shani hadn't been able to read other people's body language, get a warning and stop, otherwise she would have been able to come into contact with the blood of the taxidermion on Mom's armor and cause paralysis. If that's the case, Xia Ni won't be able to summon herself back, and no second person will know what the spell to summon herself is! If she is trapped in the world of the War Knights, it will definitely be a different ending - there is really only a thin line between life and death.
"Through eye contact and word contact, I slowly understood that blood can be dangerous. After that, I found some bamboo rats to do experiments and determined that they were safe as long as they did not come into direct contact with the skin. I couldn't get rid of the paralysis, so I had to ask Rose and Liz for help, and Benny knew about it. Sisina was teleported back three days later, and from her we knew of the danger you were encountering, and that you had spread your wings to protect her, and that you would be paralyzed next. ”
"The summoning ceremony is the last hope, and I have no choice but to get everyone to figure it out together. Of all the people, only Liz, the hidden priestess, could read some of the runes in the summoning spell, let alone find a problem, and she couldn't even read the spell away. We were all going crazy during that time...... Even if Giles and Kylie were sent back after a gap of three days each, it did not ease our anxiety in the slightest. ”
Feiqi sighed, his eyelids drooping: "It seems that many people know about the fact that I am a demon now, right?"
"Everyone is willing to keep it a secret from you, including Us—but she made it a condition that if she can't see the little angel of the Light, she'll report back to the Father. But don't worry, I didn't say anything about the other world. ”
"I'm not worried, I know you'll keep it a secret for me. Feiqi's hands clasped together with Xia Ni's, and then asked, "I've been waiting over there for you to summon me, I'm sure you'll find a way to get me out of danger, I never gave up on that belief, and I always kept hope." ”
"I also believe that no matter what danger you face, you will try to overcome it, survive and find a chance to come back. "The call has been unsuccessful, and we don't dare to report it to the church, so we can only hope that Liz will find out what is going on," said Shani. It took us days to realize that the two worlds were not the same time, but that didn't help with how to improve the summoning ritual. It wasn't until half a month ago that we came up with a way to extend the process of the summoning ritual to accommodate the time on your side, and Liz devised a spell spell to steadily deliver sacrifices to the summoning ritual to achieve this. She tried the first and fifth rounds, Ess the third and fifth rounds, Beni sixth, and I tried the second, fourth, and seventh rounds. Liz and Uss's continuous refinement of the ritual has finally summoned you in the seventh round. ”
"Everyone's worked hard. I didn't know about the speed of time over there......" Feige shook his head: "Forget it, since I escaped, I won't talk about this, I thank you all very much." How's that for Giles now?"
"I'm still paralyzed, my heart beats and breathing is slow, and so is my brain's response, but my body's consumption has decreased. Rose used her magic to make nutritious slurry and fed them every day, and Silkna found some herbs that I didn't know much about. They are all still alive, but this state of paralysis is not lifted, and it is no different from being dead. Xia Ni sighed: "I can also cause paralysis, but it can't reach the strength of this paralysis they suffered, so I can't do anything about it." ”
"It's good to be alive, I might have a way. Feige said to Shani, "I still can't focus on you, but I have to find the ...... to relieve their paralysis."
Shani pulled out her hand and pressed it lightly against Feige's lips. "Needless to say, I actually think the same thing as you. I also want everyone to get better, so that you can be happier, and I can relate to your happiness. Feiqi, you have great abilities, and you use them in good places, which is exactly what the Goddess wants the world to do. And I know that your first and most thought outside of the necessary work is me. ”
"Actually, I think of you when I'm working. ”
"Well, let me believe it. Did you come up with this or did you want to be a monster with the ability to flamboy?"
"Of course I came up with it. Lust is not a succubus, where does the flamboyant tongue come from?"
"Well, I think so. Shani chuckled softly, then lifted the covers and got out of bed, Fitch carefully holding her. "No, I'm just a little hungry, and it's not like there's something wrong with my legs. You've asked me to talk for so long and you haven't brought me anything to eat, so I'd better do it myself. I'll eat for a while and then listen to what's going on over there. ”
Feige hurriedly apologized and waited, and then described his own experience in that strange space, of course, cutting some particularly scary parts, and adding some of his own complaints to make the process easier. "Oh, I've brought back a lot of things, would you like to see them?"
A powerful evil being has the best collection? Of course Shani would be interested. When Feige returned, his main focus was on Shani, and he found a random box to put in the things he had in his hand, just like the way a flea market stores its rags.
Most of the items inside are weapons, including three swords, three rapiers, and daggers, and one hand axe and one sickle. Feige could only grab it with his hand, and those big things didn't have time to pick them up, so there were only these small things.
"It's all sharp and strong, but it doesn't have any magical abilities, huh?" Xia Ni waved the dagger around, "I thought I could shoot thunder like the Pit Sword, but it didn't even shine." Aren't these really good things?"
"It should be!" Fitch took a long sword in his hand and scrutinized it with a detection spell. They both tried it just now, and injecting mana into the weapon didn't help. If it's just sharp and sturdy, it's obvious that they don't quite fit in with their importance in the hearts of war knights. Feiqi looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "Wait, I see runes here." If there is a rune, it means that there is a spell, but why can't this rune be activated? Oh, I guess I understand......"
These weapons are actually the same as the Pit God Sword, they are all artifact or inferior artifact weapons, and they can only be activated by the believers of the Creator Owner using the magic power provided by the Creator Lord, which is equivalent to a kind of anti-theft insurance. For Fei Qi and the others, this thing is really just a very sharp and very strong item, and at most with a little research value, it may have some effect on increasing the high one's own spell rune library.
The two of them picked and chosen, threw aside the artifacts and sub-artifacts of the second world, and then laughed at the clanging sound. This situation made the pit sword and the cat stick standing quietly by the wall tremble, and they suddenly felt that they were not the worst.
None of the weapons can be used, and neither can the armor. However, Feige didn't expect a single knee pad, a golden glove on the left side full of round pits, and a metal helmet with the left half missing. In addition to these, the most complete piece of armor that Feige brought back was a full-body armguard, which was the arm of the half-lich mind turner that was cut off by the Pit Excalibur.
"Why did you cut off your hand again? I hope that monster doesn't get worse after you cut off your hand...... That's not right, that guy's body is a dwarf, and it's not this half-lich demon who turns his mind. Feige pulled the shriveled and slender hand out of the arm guard and found that the fingernails of the thing were twenty centimeters long, like a sharp cone. It turned out that the long tip at the tip of the knuckle was not a weapon, but a scabbard for arming nails...... It's a strange creature.
"What does the half-lich mean, what kind of demon is the Mind Twister?" Fei Qi couldn't find this kind of devil in the knowledge of the Desire Demon, but the War Knight did say that the Mind Twister was a high-level devil, and the Half Lich he didn't know at all. However, he carefully put away the "air-dried" arm, which may be one of the biggest gains of his trip. As long as it's a devil, Hell can always find out about it, right? As long as you can determine the rank and understand the ability of this devil, using corpses to perform enhancement rituals is one of the first spells that Fei Qi learned.
It took a long time to get back all the artifacts and sub-artifacts that couldn't be used, and Fei Qi himself was very helpless!" I didn't have time to pick and choose, so I hugged it and hurried back. I didn't expect it to be a mess for a long time, and the most useful thing is this manuscript of "Zombie Blood Plague". What kind of material is this, could it be dragon skin? I can't think of any other skin that can survive that energy explosion. ”
"I don't know, but it doesn't feel like a dragon's skin, at least not Festan's. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's the knowledge that counts. Alas, if I had known this, I should not have rushed to the weapons and armor, but picked the scrolls and books that had not been destroyed in the explosion. But you can't blame me, after all, I was quite nervous. The summoning window was surprisingly long in the time it took to be there, two minutes, but I didn't dare ......."
Feiqi said that there was a sudden pause here, and he thought of a question: how big is the difference between the time flow rate of the two worlds? How about calculating according to the time it takes to teleport a person, send one person away, and then only one will come out here in 3 days...... No, the time it takes to teleport increases with distance, and the greater the difference between the two worlds, the more difficult it is to teleport. Hell time is very weird, but Hell itself has a will, and it likes mortal people to take the initiative to enter Hell on their own, so it will give the green light, that is, relax the restrictions. And there are too many variables in the world of War Knight, and there are many unknown variables in it, which cannot be calculated by the teleportation interval.
In terms of the total time spent in that place, Feige got more than 1,100 times the result. If you change the algorithm, according to Xia Ni's continuous summoning ceremony for three days and three nights, the summoning window corresponds to a summoning window of more than two minutes, then the multiplier is close to 2000. Fei Qi used the gas element rope to pull the cat teaser stick into his hand, and with the help of its computing power, he deduced various situations, and finally came up with an approximate value: between 1200 and 1900 times.
"Now I understand why that planetarium is constantly calculating the spatial passages! The time flow speed of that small plane of the War Knight is much faster than that of the Yongli Continent, so the relatively slow approach speed of the second and third worlds has become very fast for it, and the spell runes of the coordinates and passages need to keep up with this rate of change. The War Knight's calculations can't keep up, and the planetarium is his auxiliary calculator!"
In this way, the time for the two worlds to meet is not one month, but about 1,200 to 1,800 months, that is, 100 to 150 years. Fei Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, and lay down on the bed with great relaxation: "There is still salvation, there is still a chance, at least there is no need to run for your life in a hurry." ”
"What are you running for?" asked Shani, puzzled.
"It's okay, I miscalculated before, and now it's okay. Feige shook his head vigorously. However, Shani could tell that Feige must have something very important not to say. She didn't ask, not because she wasn't curious, but because she could also see that Feige's tense nerves were relaxed, and it must have changed from bad to good.
Feige lay down on the bed and sorted out his thoughts. In about 100 years, I have more time to prepare for the "Friends and Family Hell's Refuge Tour". When he knew that there was only one month, he immediately thought of the three-barrel magic circle, and he could take as many people as he could, and he couldn't wait for death. But after a hundred years, he believed that if his knowledge, skills, and strength continued to grow, there would definitely be a better way to avoid the erosion of hell, and even prevent the catastrophe from happening.
It's true that if you can't beat your opponent, you can't run, but if you can beat it, why run? Now that you have a three-barrel magic circle, isn't it also interesting to study "preventing the destruction of the world" as the ultimate magic topic? Feige believes that any system can be cracked, even if it is the creator? He moves the world and wants them to be destroyed in the impact, doesn't he also use some kind of power system? Whether it is blocking, deflecrating, or running away with the third world, even if he embarks on a wandering journey of 2,500 years, isn't this an option!
"Okay, the recovery time has passed, although I'm not full of blood, I'm finally resurrected!" She gestured to Feige "come here" and opened the closet, which was filled with bear-like full-body suits that could hide her wings.
"Wu Mama made this for you. She was there when Sisina returned, so she brought a disguised hood. Actually, I also inquired about it, and she knew that there was such a craftsman, but she couldn't contact him, and it was enough to have Wu Mama. Oh, and pay attention to your voice, it's still slightly different. ”
"Actually, if you can accept it, I have nothing to hide. I don't care what other people think!"
"That's not what I said. Shani helped Feige put on her suit, tightened the belt buckle, repositioned the prosthetic face, and covered the gap with her collar. "You still have the identity of Feige Hall, and you have the responsibilities of Feiqi Hall, and there are many people who need you!"
"Well, you're right, I still have a lot to do. The spell materials I got from the Nexus are in the Valuables Warehouse, right? I'm going to take a look and prepare for the next paralysis test. Shani, will you come along?"
What Xia Ni wanted most to happen was to "come along", so she gladly accepted. They held hands and pushed the door out, but they didn't go far when they were confronted in the hallway. The bespectacled young priestess, who had been in charge of medical care at the School of Magic, waited for Feige to come out of the house.
"Atonement confession Holy Light little angel, I want to see. Rose almost bit her lower lip. "Prove to me that you are still a believer in the Goddess. ”
"I can't summon it now. Fei Qi said truthfully: "Now I am in the state of Double Black Wing, and I can't activate the Seal of Atonement and Confession to summon the Holy Light Angel. I need time to recover, and I need to be paralyzed to free the clones of the other state. Can you give me some more time?"
Oss clenched her fists vigorously, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head vigorously. "No, then I have to report to the Father. Although I ...... I know you've been fine, but I can't guarantee that you're not doing evil in the shadows as a devil. I can't...... I can only report upwards and let the Priest make the decision. ”
"Us, the church won't listen to Fitch. Xia Ni hurriedly said: "I have been with him all the time, he has not done anything bad, he is just very unlucky to be trapped in the devil's shell." Soul...... The soul is the most important thing, isn't it?"
"I can't see the soul, but I can feel the breath of hell, the breath of the devil, that slowly escapes from him. Rose looked Feige in the eye and said bravely, "I'm not sure if you're a saint or a devil, but even if you're a devil, I'm not afraid!"
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you......"
"I won't be seduced by you! I've read a lot of information during this time, and I know the ability of the demon, I won't be seduced by you! Even if I thought you were very good before, I wouldn't!"
Feige scratched his head, and this simple action made Uss feel like a great enemy, and instantly took half a step back. "Well, Us, Lust just looks pretty, not seductive. It is the succubus that seduces people, and that is the category of demons, not the devil. ”
"Anyway, I'm going to report it, I'll come over and remind you!"
"Well, I won't stop you, it's your responsibility as a pastor. Feige glanced at Shani and shook her head slightly, signaling her not to do anything. As a priest of the goddess of truth and thunder, if he hides it for the devil and does not report it, this behavior will seriously affect the characteristics of the soul, resulting in the loss of divine powers. Feige had been a pastor, and at least he had studied the rules and cases to know that. He didn't want Ess to lose her magic, her faith and her persistence.
"Us, I have one request. Feiqi said, "I'm going to stay around here until I understand how to relieve the paralysis and revive the people of the Ice Peak Fortress." I think I'm probably wanted by the Church, and it's going to be hard to get close to Giles at that time. I ask you to do me a favor, and if I produce results, I will teach you, and you must cure them. ”
"I ...... Saving people is the most important thing, I can promise you. Uss nodded vigorously, then wiped her tears and bowed to Shani: "I'm leaving, I have to ride a horse to go to the Church, and it will take three days to walk on the road!"
