Chapter 61: The King's Help
"Uh......" Rare was momentarily dumbfounded, frozen in place.
Yes, if there is only this one piece of the Immortal Stone, then where did this Void Staff come from......
Not only Riel, but several other people were also frowning, puzzled.
After a long silence like this, Ashley Hill suddenly said to himself, "Is it ......?"
"What did you think of?" asked Allen.
However, Ashley Hill did not answer, but ordered a few of them: "Come here and stand in a circle around the immortal stone." β
Although I don't know what he wants to do, but looking at his serious face, Alan knows that he may have eyebrows.
Several people quickly took their positions.
Ashley Hill drew his sword and began to chant incantations as he drew circles on the ground.
Alan hears snippets of the spell and discovers that it is exactly the same magic that Ashley Hill used to save them in Dragon's Nest, the one that could see the figure of old Trysus.
"It's called 'Time Travel'...... At the cost of consuming your own time in the future, you look back at what happened in the past somewhere. After the incantation was chanted, Ashley Hill himself stood in the circle, "The longer it takes, the longer the history can be looked back on." β
"Isn't that a drain on your life!" said Allen, "are you going to use it......
"Yes, look back at what happened here thousands of years ago. Ashley Hill smiled slightly, "But don't worry, I'm the only one in this world who can use it so recklessly." β
As soon as Ashley Hill finished speaking, a puff of smoke slowly rose and enveloped them.
Alan only felt that the light in front of him suddenly dimmed a lot, and the water on the waterfall slowly stopped, and finally flowed backwards, and the speed became faster and faster. After another moment, flecks of light began to appear in front of their eyes, more and more, more and more densely, flashing so that they couldn't open their eyes a little. Looking at the sky overhead, the sun and moon began to alternate.
"You'd better close your eyes. It's been too long to look back, and I have to speed it up. Ashley Hill's voice rang out, "Your eyes can't adjust to this change and may be bruised. I'll call you when the time comes. β
Several people quickly closed their eyes when they heard this. Ashley Hill was right, not only were the spots of light created by the acceleration of time reversing, but their eyes were almost dazzling due to the constant change of day and night, from night to day in almost a split second.
I don't know how long it took like this, it seemed like a whole day, Alan felt that his legs were a little sore, and the changes in light and darkness in front of him still did not stop. However, the thought that they might be able to see their ancestors in person after a while, he couldn't help but feel excited and excited.
"Alright, open your eyes. Ashley Hill's voice finally rang out again.
"That's what it is...... Origin Valley a thousand years ago?" Alan rubbed his eyes, a little surprised. Although he knew that time would change a lot if he rewind so much at once, the scenery in front of him might change a lot, but he didn't expect it to become a little unrecognizable to him......
Within a few steps of the cast, the bank had changed from a muddy riverbank to a green meadow, and the waterfall in front of them was still there, but it was smaller than what they had seen before, and it could no longer be called a waterfall, and the most surprising thing to them was the Immortal Stone...... The stone was still like this, but it was smaller than when they had seen it before.
It's just that when he looked around, there was no other figure except a few of themβthe figure of the ancestor he was expecting.
"It's not a thousand years ago, it's just a few hundred years. Ashley Hill pointed to the Immortal Stone and said, "There's no need to waste mana going back so long, because going back to this era is enough. β
Alan took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be something more on the Immortal Stone......
"It's ......," Alan couldn't help but feel a little excited...... His instincts told him that this was what they wanted to see.
"Huh...... Sure enough......" Ashley Hill chuckled and stared at the Immortal Stone, "Although this stone is under the waterfall, it is constantly growing!"
"How did you guess that?" said Allen, surprised and delighted, in admiration.
"When I was practicing in this valley, Gil and they hadn't been here, they were in a cave on the other side of the valley. Although I've been around here more often since they arrived, I haven't seen it much at such a close distance...... So all along, it was just a strange stone in my eyes. Ashley Hill said and looked at Cynthia, "But this little girl's words reminded me...... Although I was not very impressed, I vaguely remembered that it did not seem to be such a round ball at first, it did seem to be missing something, and if you think about it, it has been so long, it has been washed by the waterfall, not only has it not been eroded by the flowing water, but it has become larger...... It's unnatural. β
Ashley Hill said as he began to pace around the Immortal Stone: "As you know, there is no object that can remain untouched by the constant washing of flowing water, let alone a thousand years...... Then there can only be one reason for this phenomenon, and that is that it is constantly growing while being eroded by flowing water!"
"I see...... So you guess it may be that in the process of growing up, those words that were originally written on the surface were overwritten!" Alan suddenly realized.
"That's right!" Ashley Hill nodded, "Since it can make up for the missing parts on its own, it's likely to cover up what was originally on the surface." β
"Thanks to you!!, otherwise we might have missed out on a lot of important things!" Alan thanked as he looked at the Immortal Stone, who couldn't wait to find out what was written on it.
But at this time, Cynthia suddenly poured a basin of cold water over: "You seem to be happy too early." β
Alan was stunned for a moment, and a hint of foreboding drifted through his heart: "What's wrong...... Could it be that there is something else written about it?"
"I'm not sure...... See for yourself. Cynthia replied simply. But judging by the look on her face, it didn't seem to have the answer they wanted.
Alan hurriedly looked at it, only to see the words written on the immortal stone: "Our lovely inheritor, if one day you are lucky enough to come here, then it will not be because of anything else, it must be guided by fate." It may be a long time coming, but as long as the MONOCULUS is not completely destroyed, you will still have the same burden on your shoulders as we do. It's too powerful for us to make it disappear completely, so we can only entrust it to you. Thankfully, the magic of how to destroy it has been recorded in that book, and if you have a deep enough affinity with it, it will appear at that time. β
