"That's him! That's the kid! ”

"Hmph, we've finally caught you!"

"Hahaha, now Count Nicholas's bounty is ours!"

"Don't be careless! There were several waves of mercenaries before, all of whom had fallen on this kid, and he was very slippery! ”

"Don't worry, boss, didn't the informants confirm it with us, that kid's injury hasn't healed yet, let's all surround here again, see where he is running this time!"

Liao Yu, who walked out of the house, looked at the mercenaries with fierce expressions on their faces opposite, and recalled slightly, sure enough, even their "opening lines" were exactly the same as in the plot of the game.

And then from his own accurate prediction of their appearance, this is even more proof of one of his previous speculations.

That is, looking back to the past, I am still walking on the trajectory of the original "history".

Well.

No.

One thing is no longer the same.

After seeing Liao Yu come out, he just pondered, of course, in the eyes of that group of mercenaries, it was more like standing in place stupidly, without much combat action, these mercenaries were even happier.

"Look at him like that, he is scared stupid! I can't even run! ”

"That is, our Black Lion mercenary is the most famous in Stone Sword Town, otherwise the Earl would not be looking for us."

"Stinky boy, stand up for me, don't move, if you are interesting, it will be good for both of us, so that when we take you to meet the Earl, we can let you work a little longer!"

"That's it! Liao Yu! You have no way out, just tie your hands! “

Ignore these clichéd trash lines.

Liao Yu's expression froze, and he keenly captured a very interesting point in this.

He turned his gaze to the mercenary who had just been clamoring for "so-and-so".

"What are you doing!"

Suddenly Liao Yu focused his gaze on his body, this young mercenary with a small flat head and a tattoo on his half-bare shoulder, instantly felt a chill, as if he was staring at some bottomless abyss black hole at that moment.

He was startled, the cold hairs all over his body stood up, and he subconsciously took half a step backwards.

Fortunately, the horror of being "stared at" by the abyss only lasted for a moment, and when he was reassured, it was as if nothing had happened.

Only the bounty target that was still looking at him.

and

"Strange" questions from this goal.

"What did you call me just now?" Liao Yu asked calmly.

"Clams!? You, you."

The little flat-headed mercenary was really unhappy, just a bounty target, why did he dare to ask him, just when he still wanted to get back to the factory and angrily scolded Liao Yu or something.

"What did you just call me?"

Liao Yu repeated it again.

And this time, the kind of cold from the depths of his soul instantly wrapped Xiao Pingtou's whole body, making him tremble again, his lips trembled, the blood in his whole body accelerated, and his pupils dilated in the direction of Liao Yu, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Thump!Xiao Pingtou was directly scared and sat down on the ground.

He didn't know what was going on.

But the instinct from the body made him quickly reply to Liao Yu's question.

"Liao Yu!"

"You, you're Liao Yu! Count Nicholas's wanted object! It's also the bounty target of our Black Lion! Liao Yu! I, I call you Liao Yu! ”

Xiao Pingtou screamed and answered Liao Yu's question.

After that, he was in full view of everyone, and he was still clamoring just now, but now, after Liao Yu, who got the answer, looked away, Xiaoping's head seemed to dare to breathe, and he directly used his hands and feet in the back, and ran away.

The mercenaries of the Black Lion were a little confused by this scene.

And Liao Yu.

Is that really the case?

He raised his right hand and looked at the back of his palm, like an illusory gem that had melted into it.

Philosopher's Stone.

The origin of all "backtracking" is also the most powerful relic belonging to the "Advent".

When he was in the wooden house before, when Freya asked her name, the Philosopher's Stone suddenly flashed with light, and Liao Yu was already suspicious.

Now, from this group of mercenaries, he can be regarded as his second guess about "backtracking".

The last guess was that I was experiencing, a repeat of history.

And this new discovery is that he is revising history.

No player would be foolish enough to use their real name as a character in the game.

All right.

Even if there is, Liao Yu is not this kind of person, so the "brave" of the week is not called Liao Yu at all.

In other words, after Freya's sentence "You wake up, brave", Liao Yu in the original game replied to the saint by another name.

But now.

From the little flat-headed mercenary just now, he actually called himself "Liao Yu" directly, which made Liao Yu realize that history was being rewritten.

After all, you must know that "Liao Yu" should be a completely unfamiliar new name to this world, and he only said it to "Freya" alone.

It stands to reason that the mercenaries here should still call him the name set in the original game.

Therefore, there is only one possibility left for this phenomenon.

With his actions, the past is also being modified.

And whenever there is a huge "change" in the world line, the philosopher's stone on his right hand will shine brightly. Warn yourself.

That's right.

It is to "warn" oneself.

In other words, some kind of energy in it is being depleted.

The Philosopher's Stone is obviously much darker and more "illusory" than it was at the beginning.

Liao Yu had a strong premonition.

If you excessively "influence" the past and "rewrite" history, then the sage stone in your hands will only become more and more blurred and illusory, until in the end, it will disappear completely.

And that's what it meant at that time

He could no longer return to the "future".

Yes.

Liao Yu will never abandon everything that will be a thousand years later.

So as early as when he intercepted Emperor Hu and used the Sage's Stone to "backtrack", at that moment, Liao Yuxin created a new save point, or space-time anchor.

As long as the Philosopher's Stone remains, then he can return to the "future" after a thousand years at any time.

From the beginning to the end, Liao Yu had no intention of abandoning the demon king himself for the second week, and he was reluctant to let Elena , Vilch , Leon , Hill , Alice and other apostles who had established bonds with him.

His real purpose of "going back" is to use the ability of Guess 2 to "revise history" to reverse the tragedy of the emperor.

Save the saint who lost the "brave" in the past.

So that in the future, there will no longer be the crazy "emperor" who has been eroded by the evil gods.

But now it seems.

Sure enough, it's not as simple as I thought.

Just by changing the name of the brave, the energy in the Philosopher's Stone was almost consumed, not to mention the follow-up.

Liao Yu can actually understand.

The more drastic the changes in the world line that you have caused in the "past", the more unrecognizable it will be when everything is "contained" into the future.

It's like, if you were here, you would kill Freya directly.

Liao Yu believed that the Philosopher's Stone would explode and shatter immediately.

This means that the "future" of the two-week goal can never be achieved.

Yourself will be .

Forever in this world where Freya is "dead".

In order to prevent this from happening.

Liao Yu must find a way to restore the energy of the Philosopher's Stone, so that the gem can turn around and become more and more solid.

Seems clueless?

This is not the case.

Looking back at the energy essence of the previous "Sage's Stone", Liao Yu already had the answer.
