Chapter 183: The Corridor of Idle Time
Suddenly, the alienation of the space around Roland stopped.
The noise of the Iron Curtain is gone. But the ticking of the second hand, many times slower, still ringed in Roland's ears.
Scott just squinted at Roland and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Roland had no choice but to add: "I want to see Princess Anvilia." β
"The princess is out."
Without any delay, Scott replied the moment Roland's words fell.
Roland just smiled, stretched out his left hand and brushed his hair, revealing the black marks on his knuckles.
Sure enough, a gentle voice rang out behind Scott, "Invite them over, Scott." β
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
Scott responded very simply.
He didn't question the identities of Roland, and he didn't feel half ashamed that he was slapped in the face at the speed of light as soon as he said "the princess is out".
He didn't even think about the Merlin wizard who proposed to see Roland and the others first, he bowed directly to Roland and the others, and whispered in a sincere attitude that was completely different from before: "Everyone, please follow me." β
It was not a very cityly disguise or superficial etiquette, Roland could only feel real respect in him.
-- As a hall of truth, I would like to show respect to a few children who are not even up to the silver level.
This is the princess's magic dog, Scott.
Scott would never question Anvilia's decision-making, would never reject Anvilia's proposal, and would never impose any formal constraints on Anvilia.
But at the same time, he has no mercy for any enemy.
That's not coldness in the usual sense.
It was the ruthlessness of the gods looking down on other species. But that sentiment is not just for humans, even for the lives of other races.
If you want to describe it, that emotion can probably be called hatred.
He hates all the living, all the dead, everything that moves and speaks.
Not to mention a beautiful person of the opposite sex, a poor poor person, or a newborn baby. Scott was able to kill them in a steady and efficient manner.
In a sense, Scott has truly achieved equality for all.
He does not hesitate because of the power and money of the person he wants to kill, there is no difference between ugliness and beauty, old and young, noble and cheap.
In the moment Scott turned around before, he really wanted to kill Roland and them.
And yes, for a moment - there was not one left.
He can definitely do it.
Roland's five evil side traits of Murder, Executioner, Cruel Thinking, Fanatic, and Mobile Scourge are all enhanced by Scott.
Although Roland just blew up a city of wealth. But in times of peace, Orlando is enough to become a legend of the times that will be sung for decades.
It's good to die, Roland is not a holy place like Frankfurt, nor is it a nameless small village, but it is a city of wealth with a reputation.
If a bad reputation is also a reputation, the City of Fortune is definitely famous.
The capital of sin, the land of lawlessness - even the Nightbriar County of Titan is far less exaggerated than the rumors of the City of Fortune.
Even many people in small places who don't even know what the capital of their country is called, have already heard the story of the city of wealth.
In this kind of news-closed world, there can still be such a degree of popularity, and this kind of advertising will have to be topped by a dozen excavators on the earth.
It was precisely because the City of Fortune had such a bad reputation that "Crazy Orlando" blew it up for this act. Instead, it provoked a group of admirers.
The bards of those good deeds also made various arrangements on this matter.
There are no less than three versions that Roland knows.
There is a version of the righteous partner who naturally likes to rumble, there is the royal conspiracy palace fight, the prince's revenge with blackened elements comparable to Korean dramas, and there is also the type of literary youth disease that purifies the world for a not so pure love that is ruthlessly destroyed.
Roland's personal preference is the first type, but in fact it is the third type that is most sought after by Titan's troupe and has the most performances.
It's about enough gorgeous lines.
Roland can only do this.
Compared with his own love story of the City of Fortune that was made up and even the parties didn't know that they were eaten by the dog, the story of Scott and Anvilia is truly touching.
Roland had no doubt that if Anvilia had died that day, Scott would have gone mad and killed himself without hesitation.
He is no longer a loyal dog, but a demon dog.
The princess gave the order. Even a demon dog that can bite an angel.
Roland is actually quite envious of Anvilia.
Looking back now, Roland's own most loyal people were the two old men, Kakarit and Joseph. I can't help but feel sad......
Loyal dog type girls or something, I want it too!
Roland shouted silently.
But he didn't show the slightest hint on the surface.
He just followed Scott and kept going.
Roland's side kept appearing with all kinds of strange clocks.
They resemble thick cardboard that has been wet and then grilled at high temperatures.
Some of the clocks were softly glued to the wall, some were softly bent in the middle and placed in the corners, and some of the clocks were pierced by the sharp objects that had been placed there, and they shrunk into a ball in pain like a human.
What they all have in common is that the pointer on it is very slow. It's like losing the strength to walk.
This is the idle time cloister. The gap in time.
Preliminary applications of Scott's origins.
In terms of effect. It's no different from a collective portal.
Coming in from here, coming out from the other side - almost instantaneously.
However, in terms of the senses, it has to walk in it for a long, long time. In subjective time, it is the same as if there was no shortening.
When used wisely, this is almost a group-killing technique.
The Old City technique was created in part with reference to several of Scott's originating applications.
Except, of course, the clocks that hang beside Roland like DalΓ's famous painting. Roland's surroundings were still vague and distorted, like a world splashed with paint.
This vision is also very easy to describe.
Those who are nearsighted will understand that if you take off your glasses, you will become a blurred world.
If you take a screenshot of such a world, and then forcibly sharpen and soften it, the vision that has been completely deformed but can faintly see the original color of the world is the result of being distorted by Scott's sluggish realm.
Scott sees this twisted world every day. The only spiritual sustenance is Anvilia, whose Origin Effect is just enough to override his Origin Effect.
In this case, he took it for granted that humans were lumps of meat.
It's 800 years, not 8 years or 8 days.
In fact, if Roland's senses were really turned into this distorted type, he might not be able to last eight days in his mental state.
Roland just walked quietly after Scott. During this period, he did not say anything, and he did not look back to see what the state of the three people behind him was.
While he could keep the three safe, he didn't want to look at his partner's strange abstract face at the moment.
Because the voice was erased, Roland didn't know how panicked the three guys behind him were at the moment.
Unless they haven't seen Scott all the time.
When Scott turns around, his disguise as a human is revealed.
Although there is no alienation in him now, you can see the anomaly as long as you look at him directly.
No one would have doubted that he might be human.
Humanoid Monster -
That kind of cold and indifferent posture is undoubtedly the demeanor of a guy who has stopped treating himself as a human from the bottom of his heart.
Roland was very interested in this state.
When Roland awakens to the origin, I am afraid that he will become such a completely different person.
That's simply ......
β¦β¦ It's so much fun!
Roland was not idle in the seemingly endless corridors.
He opened his system panel.
ββIt's a bit of a busy time now, so I can use it to see what new perks I've acquired. (To be continued......)
