Chapter 19: Departure

Humans are creatures with limits. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In the past, which is so old that some people even mistake it for a myth, when the gods were still walking on the earth, the elves learned magic from the gods, and after that, they taught it to humans, no, according to the human epic, it was humans who stole from the elves to learn magic.

At that time, magic was divided into black and white, earth, wind, water, and fire, representing the mystery and ordinariness of the world, stillness and flow, turbidity and clarity. Human magicians cultivate their spirits by visualizing the four elements, and pass on magic through crystals. For thousands of years, magic has been like a gift from the world to living beings, people have learned it, used it, passed it on, but they have always revered it, kept their distance from it, no one thought about its origins, and no one tried to change it. Most of the ancient magic that has not been lost has not changed in any way, because the people have maintained reverence and humility

Such a simple worldview lasted until the end of the Third Age, in the fierce war with the demons, the reformists led by the [Interrogator] stepped onto the world stage, they denied the earth, fire, water, and wind, so that the research trend swept the continent, in that short period of three hundred years, countless strange new magic was born, and spells were also redivided into plastic energy, transformation, curse, astrology, protection, After the eight basic schools of undead, summoning, space, and mystery, in the past 5,000 years, the great changes in magic have become more popular and more objective.

Magicians discovered air, discovered inertia, discovered the ubiquitous gravitational pull, established coordinates, had a new view of space, studied the soul, discovered the intrinsic connection between the school of the dead and the occult.

"So...... Although the ancients knew that there was buoyancy in the water, they would not have known that it was the pressure caused by molecular forces and gravity at work, yes, they certainly did not know that the buoyancy caused by the pressure difference, and similarly, they must not have known what dimension is, let alone that time is a four-dimensional string, and they would not have understood the Puxi particle, so I should abandon the point of view I used before......"

Putting down the "A Brief History of Arcane" in his hand, Jack sat on the bed, a little dazed, he was imagining the ancient people's view of time and space, and in the end, he came to the result, the metaphor of this game may not be so complicated, all the space may represent space, so ......

That's right! Running water is time!

The magic poured into the magic sigil in the correct order, and Jack reappeared in the void of nothingness, whether up or down, before or after, left or right.

He turned his head to look at the riddle in the book.

"Time and space, they are the universe, how fascinating, but are they enough to comfort the poor soul? Time seems to be extremely lonely, but it has always had companionship, time has accompanied us, and who does our helpless soul accompany?"

He's already confident.

Inserting the catheter like a straw from above the empty bottle, then, as if chanting a mantra, Jack said:

"You should be able to feel my thoughts, right? Isn't that the same with the first level? So, is the answer I found in your hint correct? Time and space are mutually accompanied, one and the same twin existence, and what you want to illustrate is their inseparability, right?"

Jack's raised right arm was raised, he pointed to the empty bottle where the watch was placed, and shouted with great vigour:

"So, let it fall! The drop of time, in this empty space, how can it be without you?"

In the next moment, as if to meet Jack's order, water, from the top of the catheter, generated little by little in the void where nothing existed, and fell drop by drop, falling on the bottom of the empty bottle out of thin air.

"Smack!"

In the slight sound, the water exploded, like a short and hurried life.

But Jack, who watched that scene, smiled.

Because he knew that there would be more water next, and they would drip down faster or slower, playing a dreamy waltz with their life to a moving rhythm. Droplets of water would fill the huge empty bottle little by little, and then the treasure at the bottom of the bottle would be delivered to Jack.

――――

It's been three days since Jack cleared the second and third ring levels of the magic seal.

Jack stood on the platform of the airboat station on the outskirts of the city, looking out of the huge glass window at a dozen or so floatboats neatly moored in the large clearing.

The sun outside the window burned in the cloudless sky, and even though he stayed indoors, Jack still felt the warmth of the sun hitting his skin.

The third level of the Magic Seal is much simpler than the second level, as it has Jack standing on a large movable piece of paper and has him figure out how to make it all the way to the back of the paper. The requirement was that Jack could splice the folded strips of paper at will, but not across the edges of the strips.

Jack obviously thought of the MΓΆbius Ring, and he immediately understood the metaphor of the Inheritance for time, so he naturally and easily crossed the puzzle and obtained the Three Rings Time Spell in the Inheritance. After that, Jack naturally threw himself into the search for the two twin assassins, and he sought the help of various forces in Ashen City, only to find that the two female assassins seemed to have left Ember City in a hurry through the ground train due to some urgent matter.

Even if this news was accurate, Jack was still not reassured, and he recruited some mercenaries for his sister as short-term guards, and at the same time, he threw a banquet for the nobles, big merchants, and powerful people in Ash City, and he made a high-profile statement, saying that he was going to go to Star City to open up a market, and said that the so-called Assassins had nothing to worry about - yes, this was double insurance, a taunt released to attract the attention of the Assassins.

Assuming that the two female Assassins were still dignified people, they would not normally bypass Jack and attack Remy and Fran first.

In this way, Jack can also go to Star City with confidence.

"Attention passengers, please note that the float boat from Ash City to Star City on flight SJK699 will take off at 4 p.m. sharp, please hurry up for security check and boarding. Ladies and gentlemen, please note that flight SJK699 ......"

The announcement from the Float Station sounded from the magic broadcast.

Jack turned around and hugged Tifa, Remy and Fran, who had come to see him off.

"Jack, remember to train as a knight every morning!" Although Tifa was a little reluctant, she held back, still with a gentle smile on her face, patted Jack on the shoulder, and said, "I'll check it when I come back!"

"Hmm!"

Jack nodded, patted Remy and Fran on the head, and picked up his two sisters again.

"Exercise hard, have fun, and grow up healthy! Remy, Fran, brother let's go!"

"Mmmm!" Remy's big eyes glistened with tears, she nodded heavily, sniffled, and tried to hold back her tears, but in the end, the little girl still couldn't hold back her tears, and reluctantly cried: "Brother, don't go, brother ......"

Fran on the other side had a similar expression, but Fran didn't cry, she just tried to hug Jack's neck and bury her little face in Jack's arms.

"Alright, alright, two little princesses, be strong!" Jack clenched his arms around his two sisters and comforted, "Brother, I will definitely come back alive and safe...... Well, it seems that a flag has been set up!Anyway, be strong, Remy, Fran, you have to open up after all, and when the time comes, you can't leave your brother!!"

Putting the two sisters down, Jack nodded at Tifa.

"Please, Tifa!"

"Don't worry!" Tifa smiled back.

Jack nodded again and patted Remy and Fran on the head.

Turning, he walked to the gate, which was filled with bright light.

There, the gateway to the City of Stars.

The battle that leads to him.
