Chapter 41: The Second Week

Hearing Randy's narration, although a little incoherent, the two also knew what the problem was, the lord walked to the edge of the town, but was not teleported back to the entrance of the town, but left directly, since the other party will not be limited by the spell that controls this town, then it is likely to be the caster of this spell.

"Can you use this spell from the extreme, from a distance?" Zhou Lie asked.

Layla thought for a moment, nodded and said, "At the moment of isolating the town, there is actually no problem of distance, as long as there is a passage connected to here, no matter where it is, it can be entered, and it can also interfere with it." ”

"So the spell doesn't have to be in this town?"

Layla nodded.

"Damn! Actually, we should have thought of it when we didn't find each other in the city!" Zhou Lie angrily hammered his thigh.

If you miss the appearance of the other party this time, you can only wait until next time.

The three of them were gloomy and silent.

"Then wait another seven days, and I won't believe it. Zhou Lie said hatefully, then turned to look at Randy and confirmed, "As long as I say that word to you, you will definitely believe me, you can't be wrong." ”

Randy nodded, "Yes, that's the only proof that Your Highness did hear the word from my future me, and that's the proof that I want to believe Your Highness." ”

"Okay, then we'll see you next time, you can go down and tell those adventurers that it's time to enjoy the festival. ”

With a wave of his hand, Randy exits the room.

Zhou Lie propped his head and fell into deep thought, Layla took out a thick book in her bag, flipped through the query, and only the sound of salsa turning books remained in the room.

In addition to the conventional four elemental membrane methods, there is also the high-level magic of time and space spirit, although Layla only has the affinity of water attribute magic, but as long as she meditates long enough and understands the essence of each element, she can also use other elemental magic, even high-level magic.

Layla's idea was simple, since the rules of time here had obviously been changed, as long as she could comprehend the true meaning of time magic, then she could crack it from within, so Layla began to read and learn about the magical realm that she had not yet set foot in.

"I'm going to go to the vigil tonight, and I'm going to see what time the cycle of this town begins. Zhou Lie thought for a long time and said his judgment.

Even if he knew who was behind the scenes, he was unwilling to let go of even a little clue.

Layla looked up at Zhou Lie, closed the book and said, "Well, I'm going to check it out too, it's useful for me to understand the magic of time." ”

The adventurers heard Randy's reply, although a little discouraged, but these open-minded warriors also thought about it, anyway, they won't remember these memories in the next cycle, and what is there to be bored, it was originally the day of licking blood with knives, and there was wine today and drunk today, and everyone joined the festival again.

Zhou Lie asked for two jugs of wine and two plates of meatloaf, which were packed in oiled paper bags, and climbed to the roof of the hotel by himself, looking at the streets of this town.

Drinking wine in small sips and taking a bite of meatloaf, the wine is not as good as the elixir and jade liquid in the palace, and it is not even as good as the red wine in Aniya's house, just ordinary malt wine, with a slight spicy taste, but it can just dissipate the mood of next Zhou Lie at this moment.

Looking up at the night sky, the moon at this time was bent into a thin tooth, like a scimitar hanging in the air, this moon phase is a normal moon phase, roughly calculate the time, it should indeed be the waning moon.

"Hey, how are you on the roof. ”

Layla stood at the bottom of the hotel, saw Zhou Lie on the roof, and shouted.

"It's clearer to see from above, and I don't have the heart to stay in the hall, you can come up too, it's pretty good to blow the wind here." ”

After a while, Layla also followed the ladder to the top of the building, sat next to Zhou Lie, hugged her legs, Zhou Lie handed over a piece of meatloaf, Layla held it with both hands, and ate it in small bites.

"This festival, in fact, is nothing special, it is far worse than the frost festival, and the people in the town are just looking for an excuse to have fun for themselves. Zhou Lie watched the people coming and going on the street, and managed the sound of laughter, and suddenly felt something.

"It's not like all festivals, and when I first participated in the Running of the Bulls, I thought it was a really good festival, and even now, I think it's very good. Layla said, then noticed the wine bag in Zhou Lie's hand and stretched out her hand.

Zhou Lie raised his eyebrows: "You're also drinking now?"

"It warms up. ”

Zhou Lie handed over the wine bag, and Layla raised her head and took a few sips, then coughed, her face flushed.

"Hahaha, you still can't practice at home. ”

I don't know how long I did it on the rooftops, until all the lights went out, the noise in the tavern gradually subsided, and the town was plunged into darkness, leaving only a little starlight in the sky.

"It's midnight. ”

"Hmm. ”

"We can't see anything from above, but can we see the point when the cycle starts?"

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with time magic. Layla had a look of shame on her face, "In Tionlis, I always thought I could solve anything, but when I came out, I realized that there was so little I could do. ”

"It's normal, it's not a person who has a few brushes on his body, he can't survive in this world alone, when these people make some problems, it will naturally not be a simple problem like one plus one equals two, if one day you grow up and become a great magician, and then your brain is not open to make some disasters, then there will be many geniuses who will be hit before you make the problem. ”

"Are you comforting me? I'm not going to cause any disaster. Hearing the second half of the sentence, Layla looked a little unhappy.

"It's just an analogy. ”

"Do you think we'll be able to break the cycle?"

Zhou Lie turned his head to look at Layla, and with the faint starlight, he could only see the other party's general face clearly.

"Of course, because my life doesn't stop there. ”

"Have you read your prophecies?"

"I just believe so, and there is no basis for it, but don't you feel unwilling, your journey has just begun, and for me, there are still many things I want to do that I haven't had a chance to do, because it's ridiculous that this inexplicable pit on the road traps me. ”

Layla nodded, "I failed to protect my master the first time, I failed to defeat the assassin who assassinated Augustus the second time, and now, I can't bear my third defeat, no matter how difficult it is, I will also learn everything about time magic and take you out of here." ”

Zhou Lie stretched out his fist, Layla was stunned, and also stretched out her fist, and the fists intersected, which was a promise.

A small sound came from afar, Zhou Lie was the first to hear the sound, and then Layla also discovered that the sound came from far and near, and then, the two saw the source of the sound.

A group of soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Marston Imperial Army appeared in the town, they knocked on the door from house to door, found the mayor, seemed to be discussing something, and then the discussion turned into a quarrel, I don't know who got the first move, the soldiers and the townspeople fought, how these civilians are the opponents of these armies.

It was a one-sided massacre, and Layla wanted to make a move, but Zhou Lie grabbed her, pulled her behind the chimney on the roof, and hid.

"It's going to cycle tonight, and it doesn't make a difference if you save them or not. ”

"But, but. Layla couldn't bear to watch the civilians in the streets fall and scream in the streets.

At this time, a group of soldiers rushed into the hotel, and Layla quickly broke free from Zhou Lie's confinement and returned to the hotel, where the merchants and fellow adventurers were still asleep, and the soldiers could easily kill them, even if they could convince themselves not to save the townsfolk who could be resurrected after the cycle, their companions could not ignore them.

Zhou Lie also followed, this sudden imperial soldier is really too strange, will the empire still send troops to the south now? And why do these soldiers kill people, there is no war now, and at night, what is the matter so anxious?

The two of them were concerned about different things, hiding on the second floor, and as long as the group of soldiers rushed up, Layla would strangle them mercilessly.

The innkeeper took out a kitchen knife and rushed at the soldiers, but where was the opponent of those soldiers, the husband and wife fell in the hall one after another, and after the soldiers killed someone, they searched around on the first floor, without any idea of going up to the second floor.

"Squeak", the door on the side of the first floor slowly opened, and a little girl holding a puppet appeared in the hall, it was Anna, Anna rubbed her sleepy eyes, as if she was woken up by the sound outside, and then she saw her parents lying in a pool of blood.

"Now, Dad, Mommy, what are you doing here, don't sleep here, it's cold on the ground. Anna ran over and shook her parents' bodies.

The blood spread from the two adults, and Anna was stunned when she saw the red in her hand, and then suddenly she burst into tears, crying and waking up, shaking her parents' bodies frantically.

Seeing this scene, Layla and Zhou Lie both turned pale, especially Zhou Lie, who felt chilled when they thought of this group of uninvited guests and living in this town with their gang in the next cycle.

Why did this group of soldiers dare to kill innocents so indiscriminately!

Because of Anna's cry, the soldiers who searched in the various rooms were alarmed, and when they came to the hall and saw the soldiers appearing, Layla realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop the soldiers from committing the murder.

"My magic! Layla did succeed in casting her spell, the sharp blade of ice slamming down the roof at the soldiers, but it was completely useless, and the sword drew a steady trajectory and bloomed blood on the girl's chest.

Anna reached out to the sky, her face full of pain and despair.

A burst of white light enveloped the hall and began to extend infinitely, Zhou Lie and Layla watched themselves being swallowed by this burst of white light, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Lie found himself lying on the bed in his room, and the clear sky was outside the window.
