Chapter 16: Unknown
It was already late at night when she returned to the dormitory, and Rolda looked at the stars still twinkling in the dome, and the shock and throbbing in her heart rose again.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Anna's somewhat erratic voice came from ahead, and Rolla looked up.
The girl was standing on tiptoe, raising her right arm and opening her palm to the sky, as if to touch the stars in the sky.
"Very early on, I thought that one day I would be able to go to the dome and witness the twinkling of the stars with my own eyes, but it was a pity that I ....."
The girl's dream-like murmur made Rolla feel an indescribable sense of strong regret and reluctance.
Looking at the girl's thin body revealed by the light flutter of the skirt veil in the breeze night, Rolda felt in a trance that the girl suddenly seemed to have lost her color.
The strong sense of alienation made Rolda have the idea that the girl would leave at any time.
Shaking his head, a wave of pity suddenly welled up in Rolda's heart.
Through the contact and observation in the past few days, Rolda has discovered the surprising peculiarity that exists in the girl: she does not seem to be able to perceive magic.
This discovery made Rolda different from how the girl had survived in this world for sixteen years.
In Kirishima Knowledge Inheritance, the first chapter is an introduction to magic.
Rolda still remembers that sentence: magic is the mercy and gift of the great Creator to all beings, and no one and nothing can exist alone without magic!
According to the description of knowledge inheritance: magic power, as a ubiquitous active energy in the universe, is an indispensable element for all things, whether it is the aggregation of stars or the reproduction and death of living beings, magic always runs through the whole process, and there is no thing in the world that can exist independently without magic.
In other words, in this world, whether it is a powerful legendary creature or a tiny dust or ant, the material basis of life or things must be more or less magical.
Without magic, people die and things die.
But... The girl in front of her, Anna, is an exception.
In her body, Rolda could not feel the slightest bit of magic.
For Rolda, who has the double superposition of the dragon's perceptual instinct and the spiritual power close to that of a white-robed wizard, it is an extremely incredible thing to not be able to perceive magic power in the girl, which is equivalent to the resurrection of a person whose consciousness has returned to the sea of ether.
Thinking that his own vitality is only used for the healing of the girl, but it is not averaged to the girl.
Rolda couldn't help but sigh lightly: the life of a person who is forgotten by magic is destined not to last long, and it can only be a fantasy to prolong it through magic. After all, how can a person who has been forgotten by magic have the luxury of expecting magic to work on him?
"Hey, hey... Blackie, then good night, see you tomorrow! ”
Looking at the girl who suddenly recovered from the silence of black and white and became vivid, Rolda was a little confused for a moment, and he couldn't tell which was the real one.
Looking at the back of the girl walking towards the brightly lit palace, Rolda sighed softly: Anna is the princess of the empire, and she can survive until now with a lost demonic body, the royal family must have done its best, and even exhausted the problems that the empire has not been able to solve, what can she do?
Gently rocking his body, Rolda walked towards the side hall - where Rolda was now lived.
Entering the side hall, Rolda sneezed lightly, looked around left and right and noticed that there was no one, and then lay in the corner, and in the slight movement of his mind, the light screen appeared in front of him.
[Completion of traversal energy storage: 100% (traversable). 】
Seeing that the energy was already full, Rolda glanced lightly in the direction of Anna's dormitory, and then thought to herself, "I'm going to Kirishima!" ”
The next moment.
Rolda's eyes became illusory and hazy.
A line of burning small words appeared in front of him.
[Target anchor has been located: Nord Continent - Kirishima.] 】
The space fluctuated like water.
Rolda came back to consciousness from a trance, the scene in front of him was so familiar, the books were still spread out on the low table, and the coffee cup in one corner was still exuding a trace of heat, as if it were ..... Not long after I left.
[The dimension has been linked, and the current time flow rate ratio is: 1:10.] 】
Half-lying on the familiar warm hardwood bed, Rolda looked at the small words that appeared in front of her again, and was slightly surprised in her heart.
"I was thinking about calculating it myself, but I didn't expect this panel to be so intimate, then again, why is this time flow so large? The time and space of the Seven Realms should be unified, huh?"
Thinking of this, Rolda's consciousness that had just been relaxed suddenly swelled again.
"That's not right! I overlooked something! ”
Calling up the panel again, Rolda stared carefully at the text displayed on it, and her gaze suddenly stopped on the two columns of 'Time and Space' and 'Link Time and Space'.
[Time and space: Unknown - Kirishima 】
[Linked time and space: Kirishima Dimension, Middle-earth Dimension.] 】
Seeing this, Rolda's body instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"That's not right! The continent I am on is obviously the Nord Continent, and according to the naming rules of the Seven Realms named after the continent, this should be the 'Nord Dimension'! But why.... Could it be 'Kirishima Dimension'?! ”
Rolda's consciousness suddenly churned.
"When I saw the 'Middle-earth Dimension' before, I only thought it was the passage of time and the changes of sea and land, so I didn't think about anything, but now.... This Kirishima dimension, and what does this 'unknown' represent! ”
The meditation room became extremely silent for a while, and the flickering firelight cast Rolda's shadow on the wall and twisted, and it took a long time for Rolda to slowly exhale a breath with a complicated expression.
"If I'm not mistaken... Is Kirishima now out of the Nord continent?! ”
According to the description of general knowledge, the Nord Continent is a huge piece of star floating in the void, and at the edge of the star, which is the edge of the continent, the position where it meets the void, is full of space-time turbulence and void storms.
Kirishima was originally a part of the continent, but it slowly broke away due to the violent instability of time and space, and became a plane around the Nord continent.
"That's why 'Unknown' and 'Kirishima Dimension' are displayed on this panel?"
Thinking of this, Rolda's consciousness suddenly lifted.
"The panel appeared last time I traveled through the Middle-earth dimension, and at that time, the panel was already displayed in the 'Kirishima dimension'! Does that mean that Kirishima ... It's long been out of the Nord continent? ”
"And... According to the history I saw in the Middle-earth dimension, Kirishima suddenly lost contact with the mainland, that.... Will it be now? ”
Rolda shook her head with a solemn expression.
"Probably not, according to my time on Kirishima, there are still people going on a mission this afternoon!"
"But.... That should be soon, too! ”
Thinking of this, Rolda thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out.
"Time is pressing, go find Wizard Knorr now!"
"Tell him that!"
Now, for Rolda, it is up to him to tell this information to the right person: a person who believes Rolda's words more and has the strength to study and reflect on the problem.
