It was another nightfall, and the bonfire was dancing in the yellow sand.

These days are aimlessly moving through a sea of sand.

Arthurs found that it seemed that the alternation of day and night was becoming more frequent.

Many times, Arthurs felt that it was still early, and that day and night suddenly began to alternate.

You can't even see the sunset and sunrise, so you can directly complete the transition between day and night.

This strange sight made Arthurs feel a little uneasy.

It's just that although Arthurs is confused these days, he doesn't dare to ask Lucius.

Because Lucius no longer plays the guitar every day these days, but is silent.

Day or night, Lucius fiddles with its guitar case.

Arthurs didn't know what was in the box, it always made strange noises anyway.

In the face of Lucius's serious attitude, Arthurs did not dare to ask, even though he had many doubts in his heart.

As time went on, it seemed that Lucius became more and more busy, and he could no longer even bother to speak.

As night fell today, the mechanical cart stopped.

But Lucius never got off the cart.

Ignoring Arthurs, who had started a campfire to roast food, he didn't pay attention to it.

Seeing Lucius fiddling with himself, Arthurs was unusually curious.

Finally, Arthurs couldn't help but ask, "Why is the alternation of day and night so frequent now?"

At first Lucius didn't respond, still buried in his guitar case.

By the time Arthurs felt that Lucius would not pay attention to him.

Suddenly, I heard Lucius speak, "This means that the Eternal Kingdom of God is beginning to approach us. ”

Arthurs was startled at first. Then he looked up at Lucius and asked suspiciously, "What does that mean?"

Lucius still didn't look up, fiddling with his guitar case with his head down.

While responding to Arthurs: "When the Eternal Kingdom of God is approaching the Source Plane." The convergence of various laws of the Eternal Kingdom of God will cause chaos in the rules of the source plane, interfering with the original rules of the source plane, and the first thing we can intuitively feel is the confusion of time. ”

"The days are getting shorter, and the nights seem to be shortening, do you think?"

Heard Lucius's questioning.

Arthurs nodded and said, "Yes." That's how it feels. ”

Lucius said coldly: "Actually, your feeling is wrong. ”

"Wrong? Why?" Arthurs arrived, bewildered even more.

"Ding" Lucius picked up the hammer in his hand and slammed the guitar case.

Arthurs didn't know what it had hit on it.

After smashing it anyway, Lucius got off the mechanical board car. Stand next to the board cart.

Control the cart in the yellow sand.

Keep fiddling with the guitar case.

At the same time, he said to Arthurs: "For it is not that the days and nights are shortening, but that our time is accelerating. ”

Lucius's answer surprised Arthurs.

Arthurs was completely unexpected. It is also impossible to imagine that time is speeding up.

"This. It's impossible, and if time is speeding up, why don't we feel it?"

Arthurs didn't believe it, didn't believe that time was speeding up, and felt that Lucius was clearly talking nonsense.

But Lucius calmly said, "We don't feel it, it's because we're in time." ”

Lucius escaped from his bosom and threw it directly at Arthurs.

Arthurs grabbed the pocket watch in Lucius's hand and looked down. I noticed that the hands of the pocket watch were turning very fast.

What Arthurs couldn't have imagined was how fast the second hand turned. The minute hand is also turning very quickly.

Almost for a moment when Arthurs was stunned, an hour had passed.

Arthurs held his pocket watch in horror, not knowing what to say for a moment?

Lucius asked, "See?"

Arthurs shuddered and asked, "Why, why?"

Lucius was still calm, and nothing seemed to make him feel emotional.

Raising his head to look at Arthurs, who was pale, he said: "There is a legend in the East, 'born for one day, one year on earth', which is caused by different time rules. ”

Arthurs was still puzzled: "But why can the time rules of the Eternal Kingdom affect the Source Plane?"

Lucius grinned, "Hehe, that's because the rules of the Source Plane are flawed. ”

After listening to Lucius's explanation, Arthurs suddenly felt a little pessimistic.

It seems that it is impossible for the Source Plane to defeat the Eternal God Kingdom.

Lucius lowered his head and continued fiddling with the guitar case.

At the same time, it seemed to understand Arthurs's thoughts.

He continued to speak to Arthurs: "You need not be afraid, it is not yet certain who will be the final winner. ”

"But one thing I know for sure is that we won't be losers in the end. ”

Lucius's inconsistent words made Arthurs feel a little lost.

Arthurs couldn't help but ask, "Why, we're not losers, but we're not winners either?"

Lucius was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Hahahaha......" couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing for a long time, Lucius barely stopped laughing, and then said, "Because, we are not chess players. ”

Athurston suddenly whispered, "You mean, we're all pawns." ”

Lucius nodded: "Yes, we are all chess pieces, chess pieces that may be abandoned at any time." ”

However, when a piece leaves the board, it may not be an abandoned piece, but it may also jump out early. ”

"So you don't have to worry, we've jumped out. ”

Arthurs suddenly relieved himself and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had broken through a ghost gate.

Lucius tapped the contents of the guitar case.

After hearing Arthurs's relieved voice.

Lucius couldn't help but say, "But now we're trying to get back to the chessboard." ”

Arthurs was just about to grab a handful of barbecue and enjoy it.

Lucius's words made Athurston stumble.

The barbecue in his hand also fell on the yellow sand.

Looking up at Arthur's embarrassed appearance, Lucius laughed again.

Laughing at Lucius, he said, "You really can't hold your breath at all. ”

Arthurs looked at the lump of flesh that had fallen on the sand.

I couldn't help but complain: "Can you not gasp for breath? ”

Just as Arthurs was complaining, he watched as the piece of flesh fell to the ground, and suddenly flew on its own.

Then, in an instant, it was back in his hand, and it looked like it hadn't been dropped at all.

Arthurs' face was full of horror, and he looked at the clean piece of meat in his hand.

He looked up at Lucius again, and a look of surprise appeared on his face that could not be concealed.

Lucius gently shook the pocket watch in his hand and said, "Actually, time is not such a difficult thing to control, as long as you touch that door. (To be continued.) )
