Chapter 148: Authority
Inside the school, Quentin and the others are experiencing the most terrifying scene in their lives at this time. Just when the bell was about to ring at twelve o'clock. Once again, the hands of the clock receded fifty-nine seconds. The hands kept jumping, but they never managed to break through sixty seconds. It can only beat between fifty-nine seconds and sixty seconds. Time stood still for this second.
The huge glass mirror behind the teacher rippled like the surface of the water. A figure in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of it. The difference is that the person's head is surrounded by a large number of moths, and his true face is not visible.
With strange steps, the other party slowly approached the teacher in front of the lectern. The fingers of the right hand make a few simple gestures. The lecturer suddenly fell to the ground. Silent, concise and efficient killing magic. All of this terrified the still conscious quartet.
The entire Blake Beers Middle School Principal is the only one who can break through the time blockade. But even then he could not stand head-on with the enemy. Breaking through the door, he was quickly defeated by the enemy. It took only a dozen seconds for the enemy to subdue him, gouge out his eyes, and draw an eerie smiling face on the table. The crushing of absolute strength made Quentin and the others desperate.
"Quentin Cottward," the other called Quentin's name. It seems that he has known about his existence for a long time, which terrifies Quentin even more. Because it seems that the other party is coming for him.
At this time, the headmaster, who had fallen to the ground, took out a pocket watch from his jacket pocket with difficulty. This is a pocket watch gifted by Jane Chatwin, the time witch of Ferrory. Has an effect that breaks time stagnancy. The headmaster couldn't afford to press his pocket watch. He tried to hand the pocket watch to Quentin.
Quentin struggled to maneuver and retrieve his pocket watch. Time stagnation is broken. The pocket watch was also reduced to ashes. All were regained. Alice and the others had already realized that they had summoned this monster by themselves. Alice recited the expulsion spell. Katie also uses real combat magic to fight off the monsters. The monster was forced to retreat into the mirror. Pee uses the bench to break the mirror, blocking the path that the monster may have returned. The danger has passed for the time being, but the trouble has only just begun.
"What's going on? Something is wrong with your face. "Julia and Marina got entangled in Lin Xuan's inappropriateness.
"Something invaded our world just now. Right here in Blake Beers, quite dangerous stuff. Maybe you didn't feel that just now, time stood still. Blake Beers' timeline has a certain amount of independence, so the outside world has not received much of an impact. ”
"What the hell is it?"
"I don't know, it could be a monster from another world or something. You see, the world is diverse. There are countless worlds outside of ours, some of which are quite dangerous. Whether it's the world itself, or those creatures from other worlds. If you want to go further as a magician, you will have to come into contact with another world one day. ”
A black guy walks into the bookstore and reports to Marina. "We've found the people you were talking about. Richard and a couple of other people who seem to be plotting something. But we can't get close, they're all regular magicians. ”
"Do you know what they're going to do?" Marina asked Lin Xuan.
"Probably know. A group of miserable people who think they have found hope for salvation. It's a pity that some things are irreversible, and forcing them to do it will only bring disaster to the world. ”
Quentin was not expelled in the end, and the mage in charge of clearing his memories told him. I've experienced Quentin's dreams myself. And gave Quentin another chance. Quentin ended up staying at Blake Beers. Everything seems to be back to normal. But Quentin knows that something has already begun, and it's definitely not going to stop.
Julia and Marina are progressing at a rapid pace. Marlena has a deep foundation, but Julia's progress is a little faster than she imagined.
"I'm surprised, right, why is it that anyone who has ever been exposed to magic can master so much magic so quickly."
"It's not scientific at all. Magic requires a lot of connections to be able to do whatever it wants. Even the gifted cannot master it so quickly. Unless ......"
"Unless she's learned it before. Julia used to be a brilliant mage, by your standards. Every time. ”
"Every time?"
"It's hard to understand. She had learned magic thirty-nine times. Even as time went back, something was still imprinted on her soul. ”
"What exactly does that mean. Can anyone turn back time? Didn't you say you couldn't do it either, you're already the strongest mage I've ever seen? Even what happened at school that day was nothing more than time stood still. ”
"There are only two ways to manipulate time. It's not something that a spell can solve. You need a huge amount of energy to do it, combined with some powerful magic. And it's only a matter of seconds. ”
"No one has that much power, and the mages on Earth combined are about the same. What's the other? ”
"Permissions."
"Permissions?"
"Yes, at the beginning of the world. Some creatures followed. They are intimately connected to the world, so they are born with a lot of 'authority' about the world. It's like the caretaker of the world. If it's those things, or if someone else has 'permission' over time, they'll be able to manipulate time. ”
"How could that exist?"
"Of course they are, and they're well known."
"You mean the gods."
"Yes, but as far as I know, the authority to manipulate time should be on a witch, the 'Time Witch'."
Richard, along with a few of his friends, has been working on this research for a long time. Everyone has a reason to want to go back in time. To this end, they developed a spell to rewind time. But they soon discovered that in order to use this spell, back enough time to go back in time, they had to consume unimaginable amounts of energy. Even the combination of a few of them is not the slightest possibility. According to their calculations, there is only one being who can do this, the 'gods'.
The gods do not appear to them on their own. That needs to be called by themselves. They consulted countless sources and tried various things, and finally a god answered them. The deity, known as the Virgin, promised that if she could summon her successfully, she would grant their wishes.
Trading with the gods is the most dangerous thing in this world. It's a pity that a few magicians who fell into a state of frenzy didn't realize it in the slightest. They were blinded by the promises of the gods. I only hope to be able to arouse the conditions of the summoning and fulfill my heart's desire.
