Chapter 455 Stagnant Time



"You shouldn't..."

"Well, it tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it? It's a specialty of Icathia."

Li Lin picked up another apple that was suspended in mid-air and threw it to Kassadin.

However, the apple can move while he is picking it up, and once it leaves his body, it will return to a state of frozen time.

No matter how hard you try, you can't throw it away. It completely ignores the laws of physics.

Even Newton would have shaken his head.

Li Lin shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness, and grabbed the apple that had stopped from slipping from his fingertips again in his palm. He walked a few steps to Kassadin and handed it to him.

"Oh, forget it." Kassadin sighed, staring at the apple for a long time, and finally put it on the table, "I'm not hungry now."

Then, he looked back at Li Lin, who had finished eating the apple and tossed the core into the storage bottle on the table. "What on earth happened here?"

Based on previous drone scans and calculations of the tower, there are at least 10,000 people hiding in this huge building.

The vast majority of them are humans, with a small number of yordles, vastaya and the native troll-like people of Icathia that Kassadin hates, who are supposed to be extinct.

They are most likely the survivors of Icathia that was swallowed by the void.

"Have you heard of time magic?" Li Lin's words brought Kassadin's thoughts back to reality.

"Time... magic?" Kassadin asked in confusion. "Is there such a thing?"

He still remembered the types of magic that Li Lin had explained to him in the Shurima Tombs: astral magic, arcane rune magic, and elemental magic.

What the hell is this time magic?

"Time magic, to be more precise, should be considered a type of elemental magic..."

Li Lin paused for a moment, and suddenly realized that his understanding might not correspond to reality.

"Or maybe it's a combination of elemental magic and astral magic," he added.

"As the name suggests, time magic is the magic that controls time. However, throughout history, there have been almost no wizards who can comprehend the secrets of time... well, there are almost none."

"A wizard who can completely control such a large tower and the people inside, and cast such powerful time magic, must be at least a Grandmaster... No, I'm afraid even a Grandmaster can't do this."

Thinking of this, Kassadin couldn't help but gasp, "Although I don't know if the owner of this tower is still here, we shouldn't stay here too long."

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he wanted to express.

Although Icathia is a vassal state of Shurima, the Icathians have harbored strong hatred towards Shurima for generations.

Just now, Kassadin displayed the Blade of the Underworld, which contains the power of gods. If the owner of the time magic is still alive, and that guy is an Icathian, it will definitely be disadvantageous to them.

Li Lin laughed dumbly and waved his hand, "I know what you are thinking, don't worry."

Kassadin raised his eyebrows, but since he said so, the man who already knew he was extraordinary still chose to believe him.

"Let's go to the library upstairs. Maybe there are some ancient archives and books here that can help us."

Afterwards, Li Lin and Kassadin activated the anti-gravity device of their armor, passed through the corridor that was almost crowded with people, and followed the spiral staircase on the side of the tower to the library that they had just photographed with the drone, which had many bookshelves and thousands of books.

The quicksand that fell from the top due to the impact was suspended in the air. The various magic discs used for lifting and lowering had different shapes, and together with the books scattered in the sky, they formed a strange picture.

Kassadin casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf at hand and opened it to check, and found that it was written in ancient Shurima.

He knew most of the ancient Shurima language, which he had learned while exploring ancient tombs and ruins, and could easily tell that this book was an introductory tutorial for a mage apprentice.

"Ever since Icathia was conquered by Shurima, the emperor at the time made the country share the same writing system and the same wheel system as Shurima.

"After nine hundred years of development, Icathia's culture has been largely assimilated by Shurima. Unfortunately, the anger within the Icathians has never subsided."

Li Lin shook his head and sent out a dozen drones to scan the contents of the books and then upload them to the data terminal of the intelligent brain.

There are so many books. Even if his brain is a supercomputer, it will take him forever to finish reading them one by one, not to mention that there is a lot of useless information in them.

Letting the intelligent brain do the statistics and records is the best choice.

Not long after, the drone was reintegrated into Li Lin's armor, and he asked the intelligent computer to start organizing the data and then make a report for himself, but no records of time-related magic were found.

Li Lin raised his head and glanced upwards, wondering why Kiran had not appeared even though he had been there for so long.

"It seems like we can go further up here." He said to Kassadin, and then flew upwards first.

In two breaths, he entered a corridor that was more ancient in decoration and different from the outside world.

But as Li Lin went deeper, the sounds in his ears became more and more unreal, and even the footsteps of Kassadin behind him and the sound of the armor's energy core supplying power gradually disappeared.

The corridor seemed to be stretched infinitely. After walking for an unknown number of steps, he suddenly felt his whole body lighten, as if he had been freed from some heavy burden.

When he raised his hand again, Li Lin found that the armor on his body had disappeared, and was replaced by a set of clothes similar to those worn by the ancient Icathians in the tower.

He tilted his head, not feeling too panicky, and glanced forward and backward.

This not-so-spacious corridor had not changed at all, except that Kassadin who was following him was missing.

This is no longer his original world.

Li Lin didn't stay for too long. He continued walking forward to the end of the corridor and turned a corner. He noticed a single wooden door about ten steps away.

When he reached the door, it opened automatically, and a male voice that sounded older came from inside the house:

"You're finally here."
