As Beris intended, the golem's surface temperature decreased.
Just a little more patience and we'll see a more distant future.
In order to better control the portal between time and space, Billis insisted on using the golem to sleep, observe things, and communicate with Elsa.
"Bilis! Bilis! Bilis! How many fingers do I have?"
"Five sticks, now it becomes ten sticks."
"Billis! Adjust your voice again. How many fingers do I have?"
"Three."
"Say the news broadcast for 7 a.m. tomorrow in one breath!"
"The Pierre Islands have disappeared. All the island's inhabitants were successfully evacuated before the islands vanished. An unnamed hero saved thousands of lives. It has been reported that Naga visited the islands beforehand and may have tampered with them before landing, and they are accused of being involved in this incident."
"What about the news the day after tomorrow morning?"
"The Vaal Harbor underwater magic path detection station was attacked by what appears to be magic, resulting in the deaths of five workers on the platform. It is understood that the Vaal Harbor magic path detection station was the first exploration base established by the energy company in the Leviathan Ocean to capture underwater magic path signals."
What about the day after tomorrow?
"Compared to the big news of the first two days, only some minor incidents have occurred."
"Fantastic! Billis! You've managed to use the Time Portal seven times in one go!"
“You’re wrong, Aisha. The timeline of the time portal is directly proportional to the physical exertion. Since it only predicts the news for the next week, the exertion is not very high. However, if the timeline is extended by a month, the frequency of use and durability of the time portal will decrease.”
"But Aisha thinks Billis has already tried his best!"
Billy patted Aisha's hair and replied with a smile, "As a secret agent, that's far from enough."
Aisha knew that Billys was a secret agent, but she didn't know much about the profession.
Since Lisa went away on a mission, Billis has stopped teaching Aisha magic and instead taught her more life lessons.
Biris is now seen as a role model for Aisha, and both believe they are ready to work together to fight Leviathan.
The news that followed for the next week was exactly the same as what Billys had seen in the time portal.
Various ominous signs indicate that the cities along the Leviathan coast are becoming increasingly uninhabitable due to varying degrees of climatic or geological influences.
The interim government of Fa'an convened an emergency meeting and recommended evacuating citizens, making rescue operations the most urgent task at present.
The thought of Lisa going alone to the most dangerous area made Billy anxious every day.
Elsa manages everything in the castle. She is becoming more and more efficient at cleaning and has developed a proper habit of arranging utensils. If she were placed in a rich man's mansion, she would definitely be an experienced old housekeeper who can manage life in an orderly manner.
That afternoon, just as Elsa finished cleaning the castle corridor, a strange man appeared at the gate.
Although his face wasn't fully visible, the man's shoulders already showed a significant advantage, making him appear taller than when he was sitting.
He quickly circled around the high hall, hovering several times at the entrance, his movements even more agile than expected.
"Stop right there!"
Elsa, holding a mop, flew out of the castle and chased the thing in a huge circle.
It was only later that they realized that it was not a human form at all, but rather a tongue of fire writhing over a brazier. Its shadow was projected onto the wall, making it look particularly grotesque.
But what I just saw was clearly a person.
And that thing had already discovered that Aisha was chasing him. Like a head peeking out of a brazier, half a shoulder emerged from a ball of fire, then two shoulders, two arms burning red and smoking like coals, two legs blazing with flames, a body even larger than the brazier, and finally, a pillar of fiery hair.
Judging from the intensity of the flames, this fire person has been burning for tens of thousands of years. Although its face is not visible now, it will definitely be visible once the pillar of fire is extinguished.
So Elsa rained hail down on the head of the fireman.
"It's me! It's me!"
"who?"
When Elsa saw the fire man talking, she mischievously poked him with a mop, only to burn it to just the handle.
“I know you, and I even know the name of the castle owner. Hurry up and go in and tell Billy that Richie has brought good news.”
Why don't you just go in and find him?
"You have so many trees in your yard! What if I set them on fire?"
"Oh! It's Mr. Lazy Richie!"
"Is this what your master usually calls me?"
"He also said that you like to use elemental substitutes, and they're different every time!"
"Yes, it's me. Quickly call him out, I'm afraid of the rain."
Aisha informed Billy as quickly as possible.
When Billy saw the flame of joy, he immediately recognized it as Mr. Richie from the intelligence department.
However, the weather wasn't good; it seemed like it was really going to rain. The pillar of fire tilted to one side, and it felt like there were two forces repelling it from the outside, causing sparks and fragments to burst out one after another.
"Hey, long time no see. You're never here for anything good, are you?"
"How can you say that? I'm your informant, I'm always the one providing the intelligence, but this time I'm here to bring you good news!"
After the fire elemental finished speaking, the wind almost extinguished the flame from his mouth.
Biris deliberately delayed, using the flames on Richie's body to light a cigarette, and asked, "Good news? Tell me, what good news could there be at this critical juncture of Leviathan's resurgence?"
"It's about your wife."
Upon hearing Lisa's name, Billis became like a burning statue in the mural, wishing he could reach out and grab the fire elemental's body.
Tell me quickly!
"I was just about to tell you that your wife has become a great hero in the Leviathan Coast area. She successfully used the Gates of Hell to teleport residents of several cities away, minimizing property damage."
"Anything else?"
"Because Agent Lisa made such a significant contribution, the Brave Alliance made an exception and promoted her to team leader. In other words, your wife can command any agent squad."
"Anything else?"
"Isn't there just too much good news? Let me ask you, have you noticed a lot more zeros in your bank account lately? You don't need to worry about your mortgage at all. The Alliance won't be stingy with the rewards for SSS-level missions."
"And there's more!"
"there is none left!"
"No! You haven't finished speaking, have you?"
"What's wrong with you? Isn't this good news for you?"
Billy was trembling. This agent, who was usually fearless in the face of any hardship, was afraid this time.
The agent's keen intuition told Billis that Richie had brought nothing but sweet talk.
"Stop hiding it, Mr. Richie! That's not what I want to hear. Lisa didn't come back after completing her mission. Where did she go?"
"How...how did you know?"
“I observe the daily news through the portal of time and space. She should have completed all the tasks you mentioned long ago! In the near future, sea levels will rise rapidly, and the Leviathan coast will become uninhabited. This is the first stage of Leviathan's awakening!”
Large swaths of shadow fell heavily on the ground, lightning gathered in the sky, streaks of white lightning ripped through the dark clouds, wild energy shattered the balance of heaven and earth, and some shapeless behemoths fell from the sky.
A torrential downpour began.
The fire elemental was much smaller than before, so it had to slowly burrow under nearby rocks to take shelter from the rain.
Richie's mouth was almost extinguished by the rain, and he could only maintain his voice by the burning motion of his internal organs.
"It seems that the climate change in the Leviathan Ocean has already affected the Hobrick region. You're right, Leviathan has awakened. It was responsible for the Biel Islands and the Waharn exploration station. But we can't tell anyone the truth, or it will cause panic. Just imagine what would happen to the other world if everyone knew that the end of the world was coming?"
“We’ve had our share of panic, Mr. Richie. Like her, I was always concerned about the world’s safety, but we cared about each other even more.”
“Oh, since I can’t hide it from you anymore, I’ll just have to tell you the bad news.” The fire elemental picked at his ear with his burning fingernails and said, “Lisa disappeared after completing the mission. The last time we saw her was in Summer Insect Town.”
"Elsa, let's go!"
“Mr. Billies! Please keep in touch. If you need any help, I will do my best…”
Billis could no longer hear them; he and Aisha grew smaller and smaller until they disappeared over the horizon.
The last drop of rain landed precisely on the fire elemental's head, and the sky began to glow.
Richie suddenly slapped his thigh and muttered to himself, "Oh no! I forgot to tell him that Summer Insect Town has been taken over by the Naga."
