Jack spent an afternoon playing with his two younger sisters, and by the time he sat down in the basement chair again, he was so tired that he couldn't help but want to sleep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But he still boured up his spirits and entered the inheritance illusion, but this time, Jack's eyes were attracted by the line of ancient elven text in the book. Perhaps it was the effect of the enlightenment that had been generated before, or it could be the divergence of thoughts caused by pure distraction, in short, Jack suddenly had a wonderful idea.

What a long and tedious activity it would be to solve this puzzle by simply searching for the connection between them, and if I were the Departed, would I do such a thing? Would I let my Successor keep trying, by such a stupid method, to solve this problem?

Jack looked at the passage in front of him and read it five times, but he didn't find anything wrong with his translation, so what was the problem?

"I've always wondered if war will push this world into the abyss, and I've always feared whether peace will bring us to perish together. The stars set, the sun rises, time wanders outside the world, we can control it, but it seems to be controlling us......"

By the way, the controller of time, the controller of time needs to be a person who has a perception of time, a person who can understand the "control", the puzzle of the [deceased] reflects the control of time over people, then, as a successor, what you need to understand is: people's control of time!

Jack looked up at the huge clock with only one hand, he had been sent out of the illusion every time he had rotated this hand, and every time he returned to reality, an hour had passed, so he had always thought that one rotation of this long needle represented an hour, but that wasn't necessarily true, was it?

The long hand could represent minutes, seconds, milliseconds, or hours. Time controls us because we think we are controlled, but if we think outside the box, how can time not be controlled by us observers?

Jack's heart suddenly calmed down, he glanced at the countless gates around him, and then at the long needle that swirled in the sky, he waited quietly, waiting for the needle to rotate in a circle, and then at twelve o'clock, and when the long needle crossed the dividing line, a new shorter hand appeared on the huge clock, and at the same time, all the doors around Jack disappeared, except for the one in front of him.

Jack immediately smiled, sure enough, what is the so-called hour? It is a measure defined by people, if you believe in your own will and bravely redefine time, you have taken the first step to become a master of time, it does not mean that you have to abandon the measurement, but let you abandon the appearance, and see the fact that everything interacts with time.

This trial is not difficult to say, but if a person cannot go beyond the fixed mind, he will never be able to complete it, and Jack feels that it is not so much a trial as a teaching, the first lesson of the lineage.

Jackca opened the only remaining door and came to another dark space where he couldn't tell the difference between up and down, left and right, and the space was full of clocks and watches of different speeds, and he looked around curiously, and then he was startled by a transparent old elf with flowing white hair.

"Hell!!"

As mentioned earlier, Jack is very afraid of ghosts, and at that moment, the terrifying transparent color of the white-haired old elf and his face covered by the hood combined with a strong sense of gloom, causing 10,000 real damage to Jack in this eerie black space, and his emotional fluctuations directly activated the emotional inhibition system of the brain.

"Who are you?" the calm and flat voice had a blunt twist.

The old elf on the other side originally looked at Jack with a painful face, but now he looked at Jack with great interest, obviously, Jack's contrasting behavior made him interested: "Little baby, how did you do it? The [Metal Will] of the occult school? No, in the old man's illusion world, magic power cannot be invoked? Hey, is it a split personality? You have two personalities, right?"

"No, it's just an emotional suppression program, and it keeps me sane. ”

"Oh!?This magic, it's funny, was it invented by the krakens? When was it invented......? It's so bad, the era after that looks so interesting, but the old man died first, unlucky!" The old elf was first full of excitement, and then he yelled in great disappointment, and after a while, he finally noticed Jack again, coughed twice, and said, "Ahem, well, boy, what about me, I am the legendary old man, your almost invincible master, Leonid Vladimir...... wisps of remnants, so don't expect me to follow you all the time, because I'll soon dissipate. ”

"......" Jack was speechless for a moment, and he suddenly realized that these ancient people seemed to be able to play better than the people of the Fourth Age, and their level of education was even higher - was there such a thing as a portable grandfather at that time?

"What's the matter, why do you little human look down on grandpa and me, do you make you very dissatisfied that I came to guide you? Ah, but you think too much, you think beautifully, I won't guide you!" The old elf didn't have the demeanor of a great sage at all, he looked like an old child, and kept nagging with Jack, "However, as long as you beg me, I can still show you my hands, well, of course, only a little, and it doesn't violate the rules of magic engraving." Ah, that being said, I don't seem to have much time, so in that case, let me cut it short. ”

You say. ”

"Don't interject!"

"Okay......"

"Don't interject!" Seeing that Jack completely closed his mouth, Leonid nodded with satisfaction and said, "This mark is created by me sacrificing my soul in order to inherit the magical knowledge of our time school, and it will teach you the corresponding time runes and the matching magic array structure at each of your rings, of course, the premise is that you have to pass the levels set by each ring, how about it, isn't it very similar to playing a game, I am very fortunate to have come up with such a pattern, is it not powerful, is it powerful?"

"Hey, you still have games to play at that time?"

"By the way, illusion games, haven't you played them?"

Jack shook his head, and then, he received a look of pity from the old elf, which seemed to say [you poor boy without childhood], Jack was speechless for a moment, but this let him know that in the Second Age, Ettletta's entertainment ability was still very strong, I don't know why, now it has become like this.

But...... Those things don't matter.

"Hey, Mr. [Deceased]......"

"Call me Daddy!"

"Huh!?"

"Sorry for the slip of the tongue, call me teacher!" Although the old elf's face was still serious, Jack had already seen through the old man's dirty heart.

But even if he saw through it, he had to treat it as if he hadn't seen through it, and said respectfully:

"Okay...... Teacher, that's all you have to say?"

"That's right, what do you want my mother-in-law to say? I'm sorry, teacher, I'm a poor ghost, and I don't have anything to give you!"

"......," Jack struggled to keep smiling, "Teacher, can I ask some questions?"

"Ask?"

"Teacher, you don't seem to be discriminatory against humans......"

"Hey, why do you think I'm discriminating against humans, I'm not a racist, my apprentice, and besides, elves and humans will always be the strongest allies!" Leonid said to Jack very seriously and seriously, "We follow the guidance of nature and let justice be judged, I will not allow anyone to discriminate against our allies, nor will you be allowed to think that I am a racist!"

Jack's face was full of shock when he said "......", because this is different from the history he knew, in the Second Age, humans were obviously slaves of all races, and it was Anthony St. Pendragon who led humans to steal the magic of the elves, which led to the rise of the human race, and now Leonid said that humans and elves are the strongest allies.

Jack's heart was full of confusion, now it seems that what is stealing magic, this statement is decisively problematic, perhaps, the real history has been covered up by those who have a heart, and the victors use the wrong history to fool the masses and make everyone believe in their justice. In that case, humans may have been able to do magic at the time......

"My heir, do you have any questions? Your face looks bad, do you think of something bad?" asked Leonid with some strange feeling.

Jack suddenly broke free from the chaos of his thoughts, he raised his head, and said to Leonid, "Teacher, I have a deep confusion. ”

"But you can't ask me, can you?"

"Yes. ”

"Then let time guide you, and it will give you the answer. The crazy old elf smiled softly and said, "Go on, my heir, and tell you what you can say!"

Leonid's words gave Jack some comfort, he sorted out his emotions and asked, "Teacher, your level is really difficult, can you give me a hint?"

"Hint, well, this can be there, um, then let me tell you, in fact, every level is an appearance, and their ultimate purpose is to tell you something related to time, so that you can become a qualified time master. How, what's the problem?"

"No more. ”

"Ah...... Oh, and I forgot to tell you that you'd better use less of the magic that comes with the Sign, because it's not your own magic, so it comes at a cost, and every time you use it, it will cost you a day's life.

What a day...... It looks so little.

"Don't you think it's short?" said Leonid, with a look on his face that he knew you would feel, "how elusive time is, when you have it, you feel so cheap, but when you lose it, you know how precious it is." Well, goodbye......"

"No, for me...... Farewell, my heir. Smiled and nodded, the figure of the old elf was completely illusory, turning into smoke and disappearing into this black world.

At the same time, a book appears in front of Jack.

He was a little sad, but opened the book anyway.

“...... My grass, it's actually the ancient elf language!"

As mentioned earlier, Jack hates foreign languages.
