Time is like a surging river that flows forward forever, and the hands of the years keep turning, and everything on the earth is undergoing no new changes.

The snowflakes came silently with the cold wind, and then quietly retreated with the spring.

The plants slept under the cover of snow for a whole winter, and then broke through the soil with the spring breeze, and gradually bloomed with lush foliage and clusters of flowers.

Then the earth slowly warmed up again, until the sun became hot, scorching everything in the heavens and the earth.

During these three seasons, Alina crossed mountains and rivers on foot, and made her way to the south of the empire day and night.

At this time, she was wrapped in a pure white cloak, with a white turban wrapped around her head, and her hands clutched a rough hemp rope.

She held the thick rope over her right shoulder, and at the end of the rope was attached a plank to which Alice, covered with a white cloth, was tied.

As she walked and pulled, the wooden frame dragged a trail of dust across the sand, and then returned to the sand with the burning sun.

"Have you noticed that since I met you, I have never had an easy time, and even as time goes by, I have become more and more tired."

Alina glanced sideways at Rogus, who was hanging cross-legged in the air, looking around, gritted her teeth and said coldly.

"Ah, isn't that something that can't be helped...... Wait a few more days, and you will soon be able to complete three hundred and thirty-three days, and then you won't have to do it again. ”

Rogers raised his hand and gently scraped his cheek, with a thick embarrassment on his face, and after chuckling, he slowly replied.

At this moment, he is just using the dream power he took from Rufia to present an illusion in the spirits of Alina and Rufia, and his real body is still tightly locked in the "Tranquility Bureau".

"My ears are calloused when you say that."

Alina snorted, then stopped looking at Rogers and continued to walk silently.

"Fruit, I really want to eat fruit, fresh fruit......"

Rufia hung her head and followed closely beside Alina, her hands swaying weakly as she moved forward, and the white cloak and turban on her body looked very loose, like a human with a sense of decadence.

On the day Rogers was sealed, Alina took Alice, who had been teleported to her, and took Rufia on a long journey.

All this is only because after such a big incident, the palace is no longer safe, and with Rogers's warning, she does not dare to use the slightest magic power at all, lest she attract detection spells, and she can only survive with the strong physique of the silver rank on the way.

The girls who grew up as aristocratic ladies and royal princesses are the first time they have tried such a hard life, and it has been nearly a year.

"It's almost over, hold on a little longer, there is an oasis ahead, I have asked Ivan to prepare a rich meal, and I will definitely fill my stomach when the time comes."

Rogers floated to Rufia's side, his illusory palm through her turban, stroking her head and speaking encouragingly.

"Hmm......"

Rufia's face showed a thick tired expression, and when she heard this, she only bowed her head slightly, then took out a water bladder from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Alina's mouth, and after pouring it into the other party's mouth for a few sips, she changed to another one and drank it herself.

Rogers saw this, his eyes showed a little distress, but in the end he only sighed slightly.

What he can do for the two of them at the moment is only to use [Ignorance] to provide some hidden shelter, and then use [Foreknowledge] to help them avoid trouble, similar to this kind of information help, and other actual sexual power cannot be projected at all.

And he himself also needs to divide most of his energy and strength to extract merit, so he can only think about making more amends in the future.

The heat of the desert distorts the view, turning the earth into a giant oven, and the golden sand dunes sleep among the endless sea of sand, shining brightly in the sunlight.

When a few people hiked until nightfall, the temperature began to drop rapidly, and the cold wind howled by, rolling up the yellow sand.

Alina raised her eyes to look at the starlight on the dark sky, her eyes gradually closed, and she looked down for a long time before she said to Rufia beside her, "Let's go faster, we are about to arrive." ”

Hearing this, Lufia's eyes gradually brightened, she breathed deeply in the cool air, her face began to glow with a touch of vitality and vitality, and she took the initiative to help Alina pull up the rope together, and began to move forward.

They walked around a sand dune and saw a vast expanse of lush greenery rooted in the land.

Around the oasis, there are also clear springs flowing through it, forming a small stream, and the starlight of the night shines on the stream, shimmering with a silvery white light.

Walking along the stream, stepping over the overgrown weeds, hearing the faint sound of the water, a group of solemn-looking people dressed in monks' robes gradually appeared in front of several people.

"According to the oracle, I ask two oracles to come with me."

Ivan, the leader, bowed deeply to Alina and Rufia, and spoke respectfully, and the other believers immediately bowed in unison.

Neither of them was in the mood to greet Ivan at this time, and after a slight response, he urged Ivan to lead them to a newly built cabin in the center of the oasis.

Poof-

The candlesticks in the house were lit by Rufia with a fire fold, and the flickering flame rose, and a soft light illuminated everything in the room.

"Go wash up, and when you're clean, come out and eat some fruit on the table, and you can sleep well after a long time."

Alina placed the wooden frame on which Alice was placed on the edge of the wall, turned her head to Rufia, and Rufia bowed her head very obediently when she heard this, and went straight to the bathroom in the house and went in.

"Time is as you say, slow when it's slow, and fast when it's fast.

"Obviously, when it is difficult to even wash up every day, I feel that time is as slow as a drop of sand, and when you are about to break the seal, I feel as fast as a dream."

Alina bent down to lift the white cloth covering Alice's body, her eyes flashed, and she sighed in a complicated tone, and then asked, "What are you going to do with her after the seal is broken?" ”

"Of course let her live well, she has suffered enough......"

Rogers's feet that had been sitting cross-legged fell, and he slowly squatted down, looking at Alice, who was clean from the dust of time, and said with emotion.

Trapped in the "Tranquility House", he not only guides Alina and Rufia on their path, but also often thinks about his own experiences in the past.

The more he thought about it, the more he could perceive Alice's dedication, and before he hadn't even realized in advance, the other party would be so desperate that he would be willing to die in exchange for his detachment.

"You know that's not what I'm asking." Alina's lips twitched slightly, but she finally continued.

Her brow furrowed slightly, and her eyes were mixed with an elusive and inexplicable emotion, staring straight at Rogers.

She had never imagined that Alice would be able to do so for Rutgers, and even in her opinion, Alice's death was more like a repayment than out of help and guilt.

But regardless of the motives, the other party could not easily turn the page for Rogers, and Alina knew what it meant.

Moreover, if Rogers can be indifferent to Alice's actions, she may become resistant to it.

Rogers' eyes were focused on Alice's countenance, his brow furrowed slightly, and the light in his eyes wandered, as if he was pondering some difficult question.

The surroundings are quiet, with only the faint sound of birdsong and the rubbing of leaves, creating a secluded and serene atmosphere.

Alina looked at Rogers's fingers and rubbed them, her mind seemed to wander in the distance, searching for some kind of answer in the void, and suddenly she chuckled:

"You're already about to become the god of this world, are you still bothered by such a thing? Even if you abandon the aristocratic temperament, you should show some of the courage that a god should have, right? ”

Rogers' eyes widened suddenly, his pupils constricted, revealing a look of surprise that could not be concealed, and he cautiously looked back at Alina, and tentatively asked, "Will there be more ...... after that?"

"It's not!" Anger suddenly appeared on Aliana's pretty face, and her eyes revealed unbearable dissatisfaction, and she raised her foot and kicked Rogus in the ass, straight through his phantom.

"Hey, hey, just kidding, just kidding, and I don't know what Alice thinks when she wakes up, it's hard to say." Rogers floated leisurely and chuckled in response.

Although he has mastered the [Prophetic Bonus], he does not have the idea of abusing it at will, and he does not like to peek into the unnecessary future too much, which will only make him feel bored in life.

For him, who is no longer as secure as he used to be, experiencing novelty is also a major criterion for enjoying life.

"Rufia should be coming out soon, I'll go get ready to wash up." Alina glared at Rogth viciously and turned to the inside of the room.

Rogers looked at the girl's slightly thinner figure than before, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, he was not tempting, but subconsciously wanted Aliana to return to the old way of getting along.

For some reason, he inexplicably thought of Zhu Chongba in his previous life, even if he sat in the position of the ninety-five supreme and the nine peaks, he was still afraid of being scolded by Queen Ma.

It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that he had been pursuing absolute safety and strength before, and when he had the opportunity to sit at the eternal table, he wanted to return to the mortal position more and more.

"The people in the city want to come out, and the people outside the city want to go in, but fortunately, my authority is enough to make me have no distinction between inside and outside......"

Rogers floated out of the house, looking at the waterwheel that slowly turned by the river at night, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he muttered to himself.

In the days that followed, time went on as usual.

Lufia seemed to want to make up for all her appetite in the past few months, and she kept nibbling on melons and fruits all the time, and Alina frowned when she saw it, but when she remembered the hardships of this time, she didn't criticize her too much.

Occasionally, she would ask Rogers to read the outside press and learn about the changes within the empire.

In fact, except for the initial news that Rogus had turned into the Son of the Bottomless Pit in the Pantheon, which caused a sensation, and then there were no more waves, as if everyone was silently revealing the matter.

Occasionally, someone would jump out to justify Rogess, saying that the Son of the Bottomless Pit must have usurped Rogess's body, and even directly said that the Pantheon might have been mistaken.

After all, there are countless people and forces who have been blessed by Rutgers's doctrine and invention, and if we admit that Rogus is the son of the bottomless pit and the catastrophe that will destroy the world, then all the achievements related to Rutgers must be discarded and buried?

This is completely impossible for the current frenzy of innovation, even if it is as strong as the pantheon, it is impossible to go against this unstoppable change, and Rutgers's scholarship and invention do not see any harm, so he does not dwell too much on this matter.

The climate of the oasis is rare in the desert, and the sun casts dappled light and shadows through the branches and leaves of the green trees, laying on Alina's body in layers.

Her white hair flutters in the wind and stands out in an environment of shady vegetation and colorful flowers.

"I'm about to enter a critical moment, and I may not be able to take care of the outside world for a while." Rogth looked at Alina, who had just reached out to pluck the fruit, and spoke in a solemn tone.

"I'll wait for you and Rufia to come back safely." Alina hummed softly, then looked at Rogers with a gentle light in her eyes, and opened her lips softly.

"Yes, I will definitely come back, and it will be me who will come back." Rutgers made a solemn promise.

Some time ago, Alina deliberately mentioned "the spirit of the gods", perhaps because she was afraid that some unpredictable changes would occur after Rutgers.

When the reassuring words fell, his figure was like a bubble, suddenly drifting away with a gust of fresh wind.

Alina looked at the palm fruit in her hand, her fingertips rubbing the peel, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Lord Divine Envoy, for some reason the hidden shelter given by the gods has suddenly dissipated, the Pantheon has already sensed this, and there are already several powerful auras coming, is this a test given to us by the gods?"

Ivan hurried over to Alina's side, a little confused on his face, and asked as he reported.

"Pantheon?" Alina frowned slightly when she heard this, thinking about the news brought by Ivan, but before she waited for a moment, she smiled and said to Ivan in a tone of admonition: "Believe in God, and God will not fail you, and it has been so before, and it will be the same since then." ”

Ivan's face instantly became solemn and solemn, his face showed reverence, his lips squirmed slightly, and he silently recited the "Jade Record", raising his hand to draw a triple spiral on his chest, as if reflecting on the shameful doubts that he should not have.
