Chapter 7: Temptation
Just when Zhang Yuanhang was practicing his skills in the forging room alone, and the other maids were discussing how to face the current situation, the Phantom Assassin Mira had already walked out of the fortress and walked around in a big circle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I can say for sure that the outside world is not what we usually see." Mira spoke, without elicit a response from anyone, for everyone already knew what was going on outside.
It can even be said that half of the fortress has disappeared without a trace.
"But does this mean that we're somewhere else?" Mila's words caused the others to frown.
Xi opened his mouth and said, "Mira, what do you mean? Are we still in the same place, you mean? β
Flora and Yuni also focused their attention at the same time, waiting for Mira's answer.
"It seems unlikely, after all, the situation outside is far from what we remember." Mira spread out her hand, and she couldn't help but snort because of the injury, but she quickly took a deep breath again and continued, "But as a profession with great attention to detail, I still feel the familiar feeling of being in the territory outside. β
Mira calmly said to the people around her, "Although it seems a little incredible, I can guarantee the correctness of my words with everything I have - we have not moved the position of space, but have gone through countless years of baptism and come to the future. β
For a moment, everyone present felt some difficulty breathing.
What kind of being can do to change the passage of time?
In all the time they had been through, nothing like it had ever happened, not even heard of it.
Although Mira's words were extremely incredible, Flora and the others did not doubt it.
As the Phantom Assassin, Mira is also an archaeologist of the Grand Master, who uses geological research and an affinity for the world itself to gain clues about nearby antiquities.
Archaeologists at the level of a great grandmaster can know their location when they stand on the ground, and they can determine the approximate age by looking at the objects, and through the skills given by the profession of archaeologist, they can walk everywhere as if they were in their own home, and they will not lose any direction.
The fact that she was able to make such a sure guarantee shows that Mira is aware that what was originally part of the fortress has become an "antique", and that is why she will make an affirmation of the passage of time.
The Elemental Fortress has become a "relic and a way for archaeologists to obtain "antiques"!
Only then could Mira be sure that the fortress had not left its original area, and that it had even been a long time since then.
"I see, just in an instant, we have actually jumped over a long time." Yuni raised her head and measured her height, "It's a pity, if all this time is added to me, maybe I can become an ancient dragon." β
After speaking, she grinned, and the sharp dragon teeth in her mouth were involuntarily exposed, and there was a clattering sound under the bite.
Xi jumped past Yuni and came to Mira, and looked at her with a cold gaze: "Even so, so what? What does this have to do with your slander of the Great Master? β
As far as Xi was concerned, she didn't bother to care how much time had passed and whether the fortress was still in place.
Xi was concerned with only one thing from beginning to end, why did Mira say such a thing!
Mira took off her mask, her delicate little face, but it was much whiter because of her injuries, she looked around at the people around her, and said her opinion: "Actually, I'm not so sure, but only because of a possibility. β
She began to stretch out her fingers: "First of all, everything before is not any different from before, where is the time when the difference occurred?" β
Mira gasped for a few breaths and continued, "The timing happened to be when the master went to the forge, and it just so happened that I followed along at the time, and then suddenly everything happened. β
She painted a vivid picture of what she saw, "When the master had forged the thing, it was as if something had changed, and when Flora inquired about the master out of concern, I found that the master was very surprisedβof course, the master did not express it obviously, but I could find it." β
As a Phantom Assassin, it is very normal to observe such a subtle plot.
Flora thought carefully about the situation at that time, and couldn't help but nod, she did have an impression.
After that, he was kicked out of the forge by his master.
This was something that had never happened before, in the past, the master would not drive any of them out at any time and place, but just now, the master actually drove out the others on the grounds that he wanted one person.
This made Flora remember deeply.
Xi frowned, and Yuni tilted her head to look at Mira, all waiting for the next words.
"Also, time has passed abnormally, the buildings on the surface of the elemental fortress have disappeared, and the vassal races and elemental armies inside have also disappeared." Mira continued, "Also, the most crucial point, here, there is a maid who dares to assassinate her master! β
"You all know very well what a magical place the Elemental Fortress is, even if it has ever been attacked by the gods, it has never been so badly damaged, and in the hearts of all the people in the fortress, there is actually a hint of obedience to the lord, because even those who we have captured serve as servants, there has never been a precedent for rebellion."
Mira narrowed her eyes slightly, "But now that a maid has assassinated the lord, does it mean that it is not the real lord?" At the moment when there are countless anomalies, the lord has been invaded by someone, which has led to the current appearance? β
"I see what you mean." Xi raised his smooth chin slightly, and looked down at Mira, who was only up to his shoulder, "Do you think that the master is no longer the master, so there is a loophole in the fortress, which has led to the current situation?" β
"Exactly." Mira nodded, "That's my guess. β
"Nonsense!" Xi turned around arrogantly and walked into the distance, her voice getting higher and higher, "Based on this speculation alone, you dare to try to slander the great master, Mira, I advise you that it is better for you to accept the sanction yourself, otherwise when the master's order comes, I will end your life with my own hands!" β
Yuni and Flora stood in place, looking at Mira and shaking their heads.
They thought that Mira already had conclusive evidence, but now it seemed to be only their own speculation.
As Yuni and Flora left before and after, Mira sat down on the ground, panting and slamming the wall next to her viciously: "Foolish fellow! β
Haven't these guys thought that once things really go as they speculated, then their self-proclaimed loyal subordinates are working for the enemy who killed their master!
Evidence must be found.
It is also necessary to find a companion.
Mira gradually got up, her eyes staring firmly into the distance, and she staggered into the darkness.
