Kane leaned against the candlestick, still clutching the manuscript.

After figuring out the time shift, he began to work on its progressive form, time stopping.

However, the time-stop formula described in the manuscript is flawed, as it will eliminate the caster as if it were an elimination item when completed, banishing it out of time forever.

This is the terrible price of casting the forbidden spell.

Kane didn't want to bear such a price, so this time he couldn't pick up the wisdom of others, so he had to study and perfect it himself.

It's easy to imitate, but it's hard to innovate and surpass.

As a result, Kane fell into endless distress.

"Speed is relative, if you accelerate your own time flow to infinity, is it the same as time stop relative to others?"

"No, if I do this, I will die of old age in an instant, and the result will not be valid."

Having your time as fast as possible or everything around you as slow as possible will give you the illusion of a pseudo-time stop, but this is not a real time stop after all, and it is far from the effect Kane wants.

"It's too hard, isn't it? Forget it, let's study elemental magic first. ”

Kane finally put down the manuscript, in fact, there was a conjecture about going back in time, but it seemed that he hadn't started researching it yet, only conjecture, and he didn't bother with that.

He can be an apprentice, but not a scholar.

Night.

There was no big difference between day and night, and Kane was used to hearing the constant thunder in the thick clouds.

He was lying in bed, and the time-stop formula described in the manuscript kept coming to his mind.

Isn't there a result that is a little less costly? Even if you reduce the time stop time to one or two seconds!

Thinking to no avail, Kane turned over and tried to sleep, but his body was tightly pressed by Keisha, and the two layers of skin armor seemed to be glued together, and they couldn't be separated.

It's so clingy.

He peeled off the armor of his hands and reached out to ruffle Kesha's hair, revealing a handsome face.

When you put away your skin armor, you can sleep in a different position. But what about clothes?

Go pick up the clothes of the little sister of the ancient people and change them for her?

Forget it, let's go back and talk about it.

Every day in Acacia is in danger, and the only way to deal with emergencies is to wear skin armor on the body.

As if feeling Kane's touch, Keisha let out a muffled dream, not knowing what she was talking about.

Then he closed his eyes, unaware that a white shadow was watching him beside the bed.

——

There was a loud sound of grinding boulders in the distance, causing Kane to snap his eyes open.

He felt a lightness in his chest, and the things that should have been pressed on his chest were gone, and he couldn't remember, but he felt like a piece of his heart was missing, empty.

Nightmarish light shone in from the tower window, an evil and ugly blue-purple color, as if covering the world.

The window suddenly opened, and a deafening scream poured in, as if to tear the air apart, it was not of this world.

Kane fell to the ground, covering his ears, and hurriedly followed the sound to look out the window.

Several bright rays of light erupted from the tents on the city walls, and huge arcs of purple energy tore through the sky and hit the ground like huge waves.

The roar echoed, and more and more ravines tore the earth.

He fell to his knees as the mountain shook and the walls of Acacia, the walls that had been torn down and rebuilt, shattered in a low groan that tore through the earth.

Sand and smoke erupted from the city, and people screamed loudly, but their cries were completely muffled by the crash of falling rocks and the tearing of the earth.

Where the first mage king set up the Star Iron Staff, the tower and the palace were swallowed by the open jaws of the ground.

Annihilation is coming, the end of the world.

"Why?"

Kane was flustered.

Why did you see the scene of the destruction of Acacia thousands of years ago?

Did you cross over again?

He felt a pang in his throat, could it be that everything he had so hard to have just left him?

At this moment, there was a shout from downstairs, a completely unfamiliar voice.

"Hide in, there's a reinforcement circle in the tower!" A white-haired old man dressed as a mage opened the tower door and shouted anxiously out of the door.

The flames burst into the sky, cracking through the cracks in the city, engulfing everything in the darkness.

The panicked crowd rushed into the tower, all looking out of the door with frightened expressions on their faces.

Kane suddenly felt that the faces of these people were familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a moment.

The ground shook, and the tower was about to be swallowed by the open ground, and the old mage finally made up his mind.

He opened his hands to cast a spell, his eyes filled with white light, and a clock-shaped circle appeared in his hands and hands, and the hour hand turned wildly...... Then, time stopped.

But only within the tower.

Outside, the land where Acacia once stood was empty.

The old mage, with his legs limp and exhausted, sat on the cold floor, surrounded by a multitude of motionless figures.

Kane found himself still moving.

His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he headed downstairs.

The sound of his footsteps caught the attention of the old mage, who turned to look at him, his eyes filled with a strange white light, and he paused.

Kane was stunned, and the old mage, who he thought was motionless, was also stopped by time.

The old mage was not surprised by Kane's existence, as if he had known that there was such a person, he stood up from the ground, dusted off his robe, and said, "I know you must be confused now, just ask if you have any questions." ”

"Am I dreaming?" Kane was terrified that what he had seen would become a reality, and he didn't want to travel again.

"Your consciousness has been pulled by me into another time and space, where it all began. And your body is still in the original plane, and when we're done talking, I'll let you go back. ”

Receiving the answer from the old mage, Kane was finally relieved and could think calmly.

"Archmage, can I know who you are?" He asked respectfully.

Although he knew who the old man in front of him was, he still had to ask.

Otherwise, if he directly called out the name of a person who had disappeared into time thousands of years ago, he would have revealed his feet.

Although the other party can observe the past and the future, it is still unknown whether he knows the identity of his traverser.

"I'm Kieran, one of Acacia's council mages and the owner of this tower."

"Archmage Kieran, I'm sorry that our family trespassed into your tower and made a mess of it."

Kane knew that from the moment he entered the tower, he might have been subject to observation.

Still, he flipped through the books on the shelves and used other people's stuff, knowing that Kieran couldn't interfere with them.

But he never expected that there would be such a day, and he and Kieran would be communicating face-to-face.

It's embarrassing, so let's take the initiative to admit our mistakes and make amends.
