Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Trapped Space
"What do you mean?" Zhou Lie asked aloud in the face of what Frem said.
"Because I remember you going through these things too. "And everyone else seems to have forgotten, no, not so much to forget, but to reincarnate in time, in this town." ”
"You mean, we're back six days ago?" Zhou Lie exclaimed, "How is it possible, who has this ability." ”
"That's the way it is, now that everyone else is out of yours, everyone else's memories have been reset to six days ago, when we arrived in this town. ”
"Do you know what the reason is?" Zhou Lie frowned, "This must be some kind of magic. ”
"Probably, but this should only happen in this town, and it should be too late to get out of now. ”
"What about the people who stay in town?"
"The people who stay in the town just continue the cycle. Frem said, "They have nothing to do with you. ”
"How can this be!"
"The person who can save everybody must at least have enough strength, and if you don't have that power, then protect yourself, even if you tell the truth to others, they won't believe you. ”
Zhou Lie sighed and touched his nose, in fact, it was difficult to convince him of this matter, let alone let others believe it, but at least he wanted to take a few familiar people away, Layla was one, and the adventurer named Guildford was also one.
"Randy, get ready to get out of here, I suddenly don't want to wait here, you guys go back and prepare first, I'll be back later. Zhou Lie commanded.
I don't know why this difficult master suddenly decided to set off, although Randy was puzzled, but he was able to continue on his way, and he didn't bother to ask why.
"I remember Layla was going to help out on the farm. Zhou Lie remembered the direction in which Leila left, followed quickly, asked questions, took a lot of detours, came to a farm, and saw Leila's group of people.
Although there are no monsters around the town, there will be wild boars that trample the farmland, and this is their job, tracking the trails of these beasts, expelling or killing them, this simple job is very suitable for this young team.
At this moment, they were dragging two wild boars, talking and laughing all the way back from the edge of the forest, and they seemed to have just finished their work.
"Eh, why are you here?" Layla was a little surprised to see Zhou Lie's appearance.
"Is it convenient to speak?" Zhou Lie made an inviting gesture, and then looked at Layla's teammates.
"Your acquaintance?" asked the young man with the sword, who was at the helm.
Layla nodded, "Looks like I'm looking for something, I'll get back to the hotel later." ”
"Good. ”
Under the scrutinizing gaze of Layla's teammates, Zhou Lie took Layla away from the farm.
"I'm leaving here today, would you like to be my bodyguard?" Zhou Lie asked, "Of course, your teammates can also come, and I will also invite Guildford to come." ”
Layla asked suspiciously, "Why are you leaving today, aren't you waiting for the Running Bull Festival?"
Zhou Lie shook his head and said, "Don't wait, you may not believe the reason, but we have to leave here as soon as possible now." ”
"Hmm!" Layla asked, as if aware of something, with a tentative tone in her tone, "do you remember yesterday's events?" ”
"Do you remember?" Zhou Lie chuckled in his heart.
Layla nodded, "Obviously, the Running Bull Festival passed yesterday, and I should leave today, but I don't know why, the time is back seven days ago, and I don't know why." ”
"No matter what, as long as we leave, we can escape this cycle. ”
"What about the others?"
"If there is no way to end this time loop, we can only choose to protect ourselves, and if we tell them the truth now, they will not believe it. ”
"How do you know if you don't try this kind of thing, what if there are a lot of people like us who haven't lost their memories?" Layla asked rhetorically.
I won't lose my memory, it's probably related to Frem, you Layla is a magician, and it is naturally reasonable not to be affected, but looking at the appearance of other people, there is no doubt at all, what they were talking about seven days ago, and now they are talking about something, and they don't change their words.
"Originally, I thought it was just me and it would be difficult to convince them, but with you, the two of them, they can't think that we are both crazy. ”
Zhou Lie looked at Layla speechlessly, sighed, and said.
"In their opinion, there is no difference between one person being crazy and two people being crazy. Zhou Lie said, "Unless we can come up with evidence to prove that time here is in reincarnation, I guess this should be a kind of magic, if we can find out the magician who released this magic, maybe it will be of some use." ”
Layla shook her head and said, "I didn't feel the breath of magic activation, and I also noticed that there were formations around the town, if I could find the other party, I would have gone to find it a long time ago." ”
"In any case, we can't save so many people, we must at least save ourselves, you can go to Theonlis to call reinforcements after you go out, I believe that those great mages, and even the sages, will come over to help, we don't need to take on the responsibility that we shouldn't have here," Zhou Lie persuaded.
Layla heard the idea of going to Tionlis to move the rescuers, and shook her head fiercely, "This is the difficulty I encountered on the road of training, naturally I have to solve it myself, if anything happens, I will call the teacher for help, this experience itself is meaningless." ”
"Why are you so brainless?" Zhou Lie was a little impatient, "You don't even know what magic the other party uses now, and you don't even know where the other party is, what do you do to get the people here out of trouble, even if you can save all the merchants in the end, what about the residents here?"
"That's why we must completely eradicate the problem here, and we must not let more people be trapped here!"
"You really don't listen!" Zhou Lie stomped his foot angrily.
"If you want to go, you go first, I'm going to stay here anyway. ”
"Ah, all right, you just wait here for me to go to Tionlis and bring back the rescuers. ”
The two parted unhappily.
Back at the hotel, Randy and Suwen Suwu had already packed the carriage and luggage, and because of the quarrel with Layla, Zhou Lie didn't bother to go to Guildford again, so he walked into the carriage without saying a word and left the town.
"Why is Your Highness so unhappy?, is something happening?" asked Randy on the side.
"But there is a person who is reasonable and doesn't listen. Zhou Lie sighed, "By the way, is it possible to go to Tionlis here, and to Babylon?"
"Tionlis is located in the middle of the continent, from here to the west, and to Babylon all the way to the north, if you want to go to Tionlis, you have to take a detour, my order is to take His Highness back to Babylon as soon as possible, if His Highness wants to go to Tionlis in the future, you still have to talk to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"That's what it means to not let me take a detour. ”
"No, I don't want to go around, but I don't have this permission. Randy smiled wryly.
"Hmph, then you can help me spread the news. Zhou Lie threw a letter over, "You can finally send this letter to someone who can speak in Tionlis, just send it over." ”
"It's no problem to be busy, we have a special spy network in the next town, and there is no problem in sending a letter by that route. ”
Zhou Lie nodded, said no more, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
The carriage was bumpy, but Zhou Lie had long been used to it, but after a while, the carriage actually stopped, and Su Wen outside the carriage lifted the curtain, and reported to Zhou Lie with surprise in his tone, "Your Highness, we seem to be lost." ”
"What do you mean. ”
"We went back to the entrance to the town. ”
"Just a road without a turn, can you even go wrong on this little road?" Zhou Lie said angrily, "Then go again." Don't tell me all the same!"
The carriage started again, and drove through the town, heading north.
Zhou Lie was in a bad mood, so he simply sat on the wheel, blowing the wind, the fields and woods on the side of the road slowly retreated, and the cool breeze was blowing in his face, which was very comfortable.
Suddenly, Zhou Lie found that the scenery in front of him was a little familiar, and when he looked forward, it was actually the main gate of Luyin Town.
"Is the space even locked?" Frem sighed in Zhou Lie's mind.
", what the hell is this place. ”
"I see, this town is like a fluff ball on your clothes, a special point of its own, and it does not intersect with the ordinary space and time around it, I really don't know what kind of magic caused this miracle. Frem exclaimed.
Can you explain it in simple words? ”
"This space has become completely independent and has become a different space, which has been circulating back and forth for seven days, and those who enter it can only join the reincarnation and never get out, that's all. ”
"So I'm going to fucking be stuck here?"
"If you can break the other party's spell, you can leave. ”
"It's not nonsense, can you find each other?"
"No, you can't. ”
Not only Zhou Lie, but also Randy and Su Wen and Su Wu all looked at the gate of the town that had reappeared in front of them with gloomy faces.
"It's a ghost hitting the wall. Su Wen said.
"Where there are ghosts hitting the wall during the day, it is clear that there is a problem in this place. Su Wu sighed.
Randy frowned, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and then looked at Zhou Lie and asked, "I don't know if His Highness has made any discoveries." ”
"Hmph, then you have to believe what I say. ”
"Of course. ”
So Zhou Lie looped the time here, he had already experienced the Running Bull Festival, and told Randy about it, which made Randy and Su Wen Su Wu completely unbelievable.
"In addition to me, the blue-haired girl magician still has memories. Zhou Lie said, "If you want to get out of trouble, it is imperative to cooperate with Layla, but I don't know how to convince other people to let them help too." ”
"Leave it to me to convince the others. Randy patted his chest and smiled, "It's not difficult to convince someone, the hard thing is to convince them every time, but fortunately, we reset our memories every time." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Lie frowned.
"If I fail in these seven days, I still need His Highness to inform me of this fact. Randy explained, "Second, I'll need to convince the merchants and adventurers again. ”
"I see, then it's up to you to convince them, but how am I going to convince you when it's time for the next reincarnation? Zhou Lie pointed to the sky, it was already afternoon at this time.
Randy thought for a moment, then leaned into Zhou Lie's ear and whispered a few words.
"It's as simple as that. ”
"Yes, Your Highness said these words to me, and I will believe you. ”
"Okay, then, Randy, you go and convince the Tavern that I'll go find Layla. Suwen Suwu went to help Randy carry out this, we can't be trapped here for the rest of our lives. ”
"Yes!"
