Chapter 462 Time Deflection

The wind was very quiet, the smoke from cooking was curling, and a red sun was hanging in the sky.

The clouds were dyed orange with a touch of gold, and the evening sun was trying its best to squeeze out the last ray of light.

Outside Moya Castle, stonemasons who had worked all day dragged their long shadows and walked in groups of three or five towards where the smoke was rising.

Lord stood on the city wall, observing the construction progress at the site with a telescope.

According to the Duke's plan, before winter, the foundation of a city area as large as Hamers needs to be built to connect the castle and Hamers together.

The construction period is very tight and it must be completed before the snow falls. Moreover, it needs to be completed half a month or more after the first snow falls, because the foundation must have enough time to dry.

If snow falls before the adhesive on the wall has dried, the extremely low temperature will destroy the wall.

In order to allow enough time for the city walls to dry, he ordered the stonemasons to build wooden houses on the construction site so that they could eat and rest on the spot instead of returning to the city of Hamers a few kilometers away to stay.

Putting down the telescope, Lord nodded with satisfaction. The wages were sufficient and the craftsmen worked hard.

According to past experience, there are still nearly two months before the snow falls, which is enough time, but he still has to urge the craftsmen to move forward.

The plump cook ran over breathlessly and said nervously, "Butler, there is an evil spirit in the castle now."

"There's an evil spirit?! Don't talk nonsense!"

Lord had a look of disbelief on his face. Under the purification of the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array, the silver-level evil spirits had nowhere to hide, and higher-level evil spirits could not hide either.

He waved his hand and said:

"Why are you running out smelling like fish? And what are you holding in your hand? Why does it stink so bad?"

"Really, I've encountered several strange things in the past few days. Just now, I was fiddling with a bass, and who knew that the fish I just killed turned into this right before my eyes."

The cook pinched her nose and shook out the papyrus-wrapped object in her hand. An even stronger stench came out, the stench of decaying living things.

"Take it away quickly and throw it far away," Lord said with a look of disgust. "You are not here to tease me, are you? How could a healthy fish turn into a dead fish in the blink of an eye, and one that has been dead for several days?"

The cook threw the dead fish over the wall and said solemnly:

“How dare I lie about such a thing! When the fresh sea bass turned smelly, I vaguely saw pale golden runes flashing in the room. I looked around away from the fish but found nothing. I thought I was dazzled.

Then I smelled a bad smell, looked down and saw the fish looked like this.

It's not just me who has encountered such weird situations, there are even more outrageous ones.

Hard said that he was about to kill a chicken yesterday afternoon, but as soon as he picked up the knife, the rooster in his hand turned into a skeleton, a weathered skeleton. Other servants have made similar discoveries in the past few days.

"You, a cook, know runes?"

The cook retorted: "Don't underestimate me. There are so many runes in the castle, and I'm not blind!"

Lord frowned. He had never heard of such a strange thing.

"When did this happen? Where did it happen? Why didn't you tell me immediately when it happened?"

He did not learn about this incident in the castle in the first place, which was the butler's dereliction of duty.

"Hmm," the cook stroked her chin, recalled for a while, and replied:

“It should have started to appear yesterday afternoon. I asked the people in the kitchen, and the first person to discover the strange phenomenon was Yina.

She said that yesterday at around four o'clock in the afternoon, she was baking bread. She took out the hot white bread and put it into the basket. When she turned around, the bread became cold and even grew a layer of green hair.

This phenomenon has occurred in the kitchen and restaurant of the main castle.

At first, this phenomenon occurred at long intervals, but today it has become more frequent, occurring almost every hour.

I originally wanted to wait until after dinner to tell you, but three such things happened in the kitchen at the same time just now, and everyone ran out in fright, so I had to come here to report to you.

You have been busy with work at the construction site these days. We wanted to report to you, but we couldn't find you. "

"Let's go and take a look at the scene," Lord strode forward.

If such a phenomenon occurred in other places, it might be some special evil spirit, but since the strange phenomenon occurred in the main castle, he did not think it was the work of evil spirits at all.

The Duke and his wife lived in the main castle. The Duke was now at least a sixth-level transcendent, and this was the consensus between him and the others.

What kind of evil spirit has the guts to mess around here?

The two of them walked hurriedly, and the cook followed the butler, jogging along with her cotton skirt in her hand.

Before Lord reached the kitchen, he saw a group of servants gathered not far from the kitchen, whispering to each other, with fear on everyone's face.

The cook hurried up to him and shouted:

"Everyone, get out of the way. The butler is here. Let him see what's going on."

Everyone made way for him and looked at the approaching butler with hopeful eyes.

Lord walked to the kitchen door and was about to push it open, but found that the cook was not with him.

He turned around and saw that the other person was standing among the servants, staring at him cautiously.

"Katyusha, you have to come here, point out the specific location to me."

He wanted to see if there was any connection between the specific locations where these things happened, and needed an eyewitness to point it out.

"Ah, you still want me to go?"

The cook came over reluctantly, still frightened by the strange phenomena happening here.

If possible, she didn't want to set foot in this area until the matter was resolved.

However, the butler was her superior, who decided the appointment and dismissal of servants, so she had to obey his orders.

The kitchen is very large, and Katyusha pointed out the specific locations where the strange events occurred one by one.

Lord took out a small notebook and started recording carefully. Suddenly, he felt a flash of light in front of his eyes. He looked up and found that the room was full of gorgeous light golden runes.

Unlike ordinary people like the cook, he immediately discovered the mysterious power contained in the rune. He curiously picked up the kitchen knife at hand to touch the rune.

An astonishing scene happened. The front half of the kitchen knife rusted and corroded right under his eyes, and finally shattered into pieces and fell down.

The runes in front of him slowly disappeared, and Lord felt a chill down his spine. If it was his own hand that he had put in just now, would he have ended up like the sea bass that the cook was holding when she found him?

The cook also saw this scene and said in a tearful voice:

"There must be a powerful evil spirit sneaking into the castle. I...I..."

"Shut up," Lord said sternly.

"If there was an evil spirit, we would have both died just now."

He quickly realized how powerful the power released when the kitchen knife was corroded was. If it was really the work of evil spirits, they must have died peacefully.

"If it's not evil spirits, then what is it?"

Lord opened his mouth, but felt he had nothing to say. He couldn't explain why this happened.

"It's not an evil spirit anyway, let's get out."

After receiving the consent, the cook immediately trotted out of the kitchen.

The butler walked out, closed the door, and said to the servants:

"You can stay outside the main castle first. I will report this matter to the Duke."

He can't solve the problem, but he can find someone who can.

In his eyes, the Duke is omnipotent, and these things should be just small scenes in his eyes!

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants dispersed and trotted away, as if there was some monster in the kitchen.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lord shook his head slightly, but he quickened his pace and walked straight to the stairs and quickly came to the door of the study.

He took out a small mirror, adjusted his appearance, and then knocked on the door solemnly.

“Boom, boom!”

"Come in."

A gentle voice came from the room, and his slightly nervous mood relaxed.

Pushing open the door, Lord came to Clown's desk, bowed slightly and said:

"Your Excellency the Duke, I am here because something inexplicable has occurred in the castle's kitchen."

He recounted the whole story and his own personal experience, and then said:

"I am incompetent. I have no solution to this kind of thing. Please forgive me, Duke."

Klauen frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Is this the rune you saw?"

He raised his left hand upward, and an hourglass with a golden base appeared above his palm.

On the base of the hourglass, there are many small silver stars emitting cold light.

With the appearance of the hourglass, Lord felt as if he was in the boundless starry sky, with light golden runes flashing around his body.

He understood immediately and said:

"Those strange phenomena were actually created by you, the Bishop!"

I smiled bitterly in my heart. It was obvious that the Duke was experimenting with some secret technique, but he didn't inform anyone.

Crown put away the hourglass and nodded slightly:

"I didn't know the power of the hourglass could dissipate. Tell the servants what happened so they don't have to worry.

From now on, I will not perform this secret technique in the castle."

After the Fire Cube advanced to the sixth level, the Time Hourglass was not to be outdone and started its evolutionary journey, also reaching the sixth level.

The amplification brought to him by the time hourglass is now stronger than ever before. Clown is more confident about his hunting plan.

"Okay, I'll tell the servants now, otherwise we won't have dinner tonight."

Lord turned and left, closing the door, and then walked out with a cheerful step.

After the butler left, Clown leaned back in his chair, the hourglass of time appeared before him again, and his eyes shone with golden light, as a golden wall was summoned.

The sand of time in the hourglass changed from its original silver color to gold, with each grain full and blessing him to such an extent that even he was surprised.

The first is the ability to perceive time. The original function of this skill was to act as a pocket watch. Later, it became more and more accurate, but it still did not have a big effect, especially in improving combat capabilities. The effect was very weak and almost non-existent. It was not until the ability to confuse other people's sense of time was acquired that it became directly helpful in combat.

However, the effective radius of this ability is only a dozen meters. Ever since he abandoned hand-to-hand combat, the effectiveness of his time perception ability has become even lower.

Now, his time perception ability has been comprehensively enhanced. Not only can he accurately perceive the passage of time, but the radius of action has also been greatly increased to an astonishing one thousand meters.

At this distance, there is already a big enough stage for the performance. What's even more exciting is that the ability to confuse the sense of time was previously only a single-soldier skill that could only be released against one target, but now it can be released over a range, and all enemies within a radius of 50 meters will be affected by this skill.

At the same time, his time perception also allows him to, with a very small chance, glimpse what will happen within 0.5 seconds in the future. This glimpse of the future is something that is bound to happen.

The second skill is time stop. Now the effective radius of this skill has also reached one hundred meters. It can solidify the flow of time near one's body and isolate all incoming attacks. The duration is also greatly increased, and the maximum time stop ability can be released for ten seconds.

During the duration of the ability, you are immune to all damage, which is equivalent to being "invincible" for ten seconds.

During this period of time, his attacks were not affected at all.

The third skill, Bullet Time, also greatly improves the effect, increasing the speed by up to 50%. When the Sands of Time are full, he can maintain a 50% speed increase for three hours.

Please note that this 50% increase is based on his current physical fitness. His speed itself is very strong, and he is definitely the top one among human extraordinary beings.

He was confident that when facing an enemy of the same level, he would be able to suppress his opponent the entire time until he died, and there would be absolutely no possibility for the opponent to escape because he could use the moonlight to replenish his spiritual power at any time.

The fourth skill is Time Rewind. When it is released at the fourth level, it can rewind what happened to a certain object or area thirty-six hours ago. Now it can rewind seventy-two hours.

This is not the happiest thing for Clown. Now he can directly extract the target's breath from the time reversal.

No matter how well an enemy hides, he will be exposed in his sharp eyes.

The fifth skill is Time Clockwork, which can create an invisible force field around the body. The movement speed of enemies entering it will be reduced, but he himself will not be affected.

Now the radius of the two force fields has reached one hundred meters, and he can now specify the release area. It can be released within a thousand meters around him, and the number of releases can reach three.

Each time clockwork released outside can last for two hours, slowing down enemies that enter its attack range by 30%.

The bullet time accelerates himself, the time clockwork slows down the enemy, and combined with the ability to confuse time, he can definitely crush enemies of the same level.

The sixth skill, Void Rift, allows one to travel through a time wormhole and arrive at another place at the same time point. When the Spirit Control is at the fourth level, it can be used to reach places more than ten meters away.

Now the void rift can travel a distance of one hundred meters, which is perfect for avoiding the enemy's most powerful attacks.

The sixth-level time hourglass has a new ability. Its seventh ability is called time deflection.

After release, it can deflect any incoming damage by 90% for three seconds, which greatly improves Crown's survivability when facing higher-level enemies.
