Chapter 2: Laurent's Desire

Anthony's inn anchors everyone's location, and Sheldon easily found Laurent's location by following the door inside the inn. According to the fat man's request, he obviously could not be discovered by the master craftsman. If anything was unusual, he had to go back and report it to the panicked man immediately.

Now it seems that there is clearly something very interesting inside Paradise Lost, which, according to Laurent, should have something to do with time. Sheldon knows that there are three of the most mysterious and powerful runic powers in the world: Life, Time, and Destiny. Trying to exhaust every force requires incomparable effort and cost.

Merlin has spent a great deal of time and experience studying the content of the Life Technique, but as far as he knows, there has been no substantial progress. The power of this incomplete life spell alone is enough to change the life form of the caster, but only half of the life spell can only turn the creature into a boring mass of green colloids that slowly wriggles on the ground. These three forces are so difficult to control that the Merlin Cult, which has reached its peak, is declining day by day, and can only use the power of the World Tree to keep the church running.

Laurent's desire to make her machinery fully carry this uncontrollable force is undoubtedly a fantasy in Sheldon's opinion. But whether he can find it is also a question, if he can't find the source of the power of "time", then he will do everything in vain.

Sheldon had learned a little about machines when he was at the Academy of Magic, and although he had forgotten it, he always remembered that every machine had its own energy core. The "time" that Laurent is looking for is the heart of the machine. To put it mildly, if his magic power is strong enough, he can become a machine by himself with the help of the corresponding magic core.

At this time, Laurent had already thrown away her cloth bag, and since the contents had been assembled, there was no need to disassemble them. All the magic instruments he made could be freely resized, except for the outermost fixed frame, which was temporarily removed, and the remaining glass balls were floating directly above the palm of his hand.

A human head crept out of an alley behind him, and it was Sheldon who had crept out of the [door] technique. Because he hadn't done this type of work, his movements seemed stiff. The people on the street saw only a man in the costume of a substitute for punishment wandering the streets, like an evil spirit looking for prey. Because of this, a very conspicuous hollow band appeared on the street, and in the center of it was an embarrassed Sheldon.

Laurent was looking at the glass ball in his hand intently, and everyone in the world seemed to know that Sheldon was following him, except for him. He wandered aimlessly, from street to alley, from alley to gutter, from gutter to street, and even sometimes he would suddenly turn around and turn back.

Sheldon, who was following him, shuddered and was about to explain, only to find that the other party was ignoring him, his eyes still firmly attached to the floating glass ball in his hand.

Sheldon hurriedly turned sideways, and his figure immediately melted into the shadows in the corner. It was such a lame strategy, but he was still undetected, and Laurent just walked past him without looking at him.

When Laurent looked at the glass ball in her hand, she seemed to be looking at her lover, and her eyes overflowed with a luster mixed with nostalgia, sadness, and hope. This made Sheldon even more curious, what kind of purpose did he have in order to tirelessly explore the truth of the so-called "time"?

The real time is too heavy even for a master like Laurent, and he knows it, but he still spends countless hours and experiences to achieve it. If he had invented this machine that could travel between time and space, what would he have used it for?

Laurent seems to be going around in circles, but in fact his route is still regular. Whenever the glass ball shone brightly, he walked forward; When the light of the glass ball dimmed slightly, he stepped back and walked towards the place where the light was even greater. From time to time, he would pull a pen and paper from his bosom and write and draw, which seemed to be marked points on a map.

To be honest, this kind of errand is really not easy, especially when tracking down a 10,000-year-old turtle like Laurent, who runs wild on the streets like a madman who doesn't eat or drink all day, almost exhausts Sheldon's legs. Going around and around, this guy swaggered in before finally walking back to the hotel.

saw him put the glass ball in his hand into his arms, walked to the front desk with a smile, knocked on the empty table with his hand, and said, "Is there anyone?" I want to check in. ”

Anthony's hotel is one of the few hotels in Paradise Lost, as anyone who comes to Paradise Lost will never know what it is.

The front desk hurriedly arrived, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't even look at Laurent: "Sir, not everyone can live here, please-"

"β€”let him in." The fat man jumped out of nowhere, and the expression on his face was very solemn, "This is the famous [Master Craftsman], Mr. Laurent Mitchellβ€”"

Bite! Bite! Bite!

Suddenly a rope sprang from above Anthony's head, ending in a bell that would be rung whenever there was a treaty breaker in Paradise Lost. Obviously, the owner of [Paradise Lost] has now violated the laws he has set, and no one dares to say it.

"Haha, haha!" Anthony suddenly burst into a green tendon on his forehead, he stretched out his hand, pulled the bell above his head again, stomped it under his feet, and ran it over and over again, "Welcome, welcome!" I heard that you are here to launch your latest inventions? ”

"Uh, yes, yes ha......" Laurent saw Anthony's "bold" gesture, "how much is the room rate?" ”

"Ten gold coins a night." Anthony said solemnly, "This is the largest and most luxurious hotel in [Bandit Lost Paradise], and here, you can enjoy the highest level of service in the whole park. ”

"Okay." Laurent nodded, and swiped his right hand straight in the air, and crystal silver dust immediately burst out of his body, marking a semi-circular and semi-square area on his fingertips.

At the moment when the silver dust was docked, the area that had been demarcated suddenly recessed, forming an independent space inside. I heard only a clang, and a cloth bag fell from the black space.

Jingle ...... It was the pleasant sound of gold coins colliding with each other, and Angola immediately judged that there would be no less than three hundred gold coins here. Is this guy so rich...... Just take out three hundred gold coins?

"It's a month's money, don't worry about not having enough money! Anyway, as you know, craftsmen will basically never be short of money. Laurent smiled and waved her hand, "I hope I can find what I want here." ”

"You know, sometimes wanting too much can lead to disaster." Angolapi said with a smile.

Laurent's eyes were surprisingly firm: "Everyone has ideals, they also have difficulties, and of course, they will have their fate. Me too. ”

"This is my territory, I hope you can share it in peace and don't do something out of the ordinary." Anthony didn't even want to laugh anymore, "I've been paying for this for more than twenty years. ”

"I've probably given more than you on top of my own business." Laurent took her key from the front desk, "I'm not going to run around, don't worry." If there's nothing out of the ordinary in your Paradise Lost, I'm sure you won't be so worried. I don't have any plans to start with Paradise Lost yet, after all, it's the 'kingdom' you've worked so hard to build, aren't I? There's no need for me to be your enemy. ”

"It's a smart choice." Anthony nodded, "Well, let's have a good rest, and if you have any requests, you don't have to be polite." Giving the money will be rewarded accordingly. ”

Laurent didn't continue to speak, but slowly went to her room and closed the door with a bang. Seeing this, Sheldon returned to Anthony's side and waited for his orders.

Anthony looked at Sheldon's slightly tired face, sighed, and said, "You live next to him, as soon as he opens the door, you report to me." Thank you for your hard work. ”

"Hmm." Sheldon took the keys and left.

Anthony always felt that something was wrong, and Laurent was just a craftsman obsessed with his own business, and he knew nothing about his secrets. He believed that the divine blood buried in space and time should not be ...... was discovered. At least he couldn't find out.

But he always felt that something else was approaching his paradise lost. He hadn't had a good rest in a long time, and he should have been even fatter than he was now......

Anthony was upset, very upset.
