Chapter 051 Is there magic of time travel?
After the magic practice, Shu Li's magic power was completely depleted, leaving him exhausted. The other goblins rushed to the cafeteria for lunch, but he still sat on the ground without moving.
Sit flew over and asked with concern: "Do you need me to take you to the cafeteria?"
"No, no need." Shu Li waved his hand slowly. "I'm just... a little tired. I just need to rest."
He didn't expect that consuming the magic power in his body was more tiring than summoning natural elements. The double consumption of physical strength and magic power made him so tired that he couldn't even flap his wings.
However, the little goblin also needs to save face, so how can he let the teacher take him flying?
Shu Li pretended to be calm and tried to put on a relaxed smile.
Sit noticed the little guy's embarrassment, but didn't point it out. He sat beside him and helped him recover his strength.
"Would you like some fruit?" He took out a small red fruit from his storage bag and handed it to Shu Li.
Shu Li licked her lips, unable to resist the temptation of food, and took it: "Thank you."
After getting the small red fruit, he couldn't wait to take a bite.
Mmm, it’s delicious and thirst-quenching, so happy!
The small red fruit was small, so it took only two or three bites to finish it. Although it didn't fill her stomach, Shu Li was very satisfied, and she felt that her physical strength and energy had recovered a little bit.
He looked at Sid gratefully. "That..."
"What?" Sit smiled, noticing the kid was hesitant to speak. "Ask if you want to. If I know, I'll tell you."
Shu Li scratched the back of his head. "It's just... in music class this morning, I played a poem and entered the dreamland again."
He told Sid everything he saw in the illusion.
The wide river, the golden waves of reeds, the brown-haired young man in a white robe, and the other party seemed to see him and called out "little goblin".
Thanks to his recent study of the mainland's common language, he understood what the other party said.
He was so surprised that he forgot to play the piano, and the brief illusion disappeared.
This was the second time that the "person" in the illusion discovered his existence.
The first time was on Midsummer Day five years ago, in the Crystal City of the Elf Kingdom. Listening to the music played by the Elf King, his consciousness entered a wonderful illusion, and he saw the God of Light, the Elf King, and the God of Darkness.
Later, when he came out of the illusion, he told the Elf King what he had seen and heard in the illusion. The Elf King said that it was a Midsummer Festival more than 10,000 years ago, and he did not find any light spots or insects at that time.
Despite this, Shu Li was certain that he was not a bystander in the illusion, but a participant.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he was exposed twice and discovered by the "person" in the illusion?
After hearing Shu Li's words, Xit frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
Sperian's experience in the fantasy world was indeed special. Neither he nor other fairies or elves had ever encountered a similar situation.
An illusion is an illusion. Even if you see a scene that happened in the past, it is still fake. The present and the past are separated by a vast river of time and there is no way they can intersect.
It was unbelievable that the little cub was in such a situation.
Of course, Sit didn't think the little guy was lying.
Because there is no need.
Fairies and elves are not good at lying, and they don't like to deceive others.
Shu Li looked at Xit who was lost in thought with a little trepidation.
The problems he encountered in the illusion...are they difficult to explain?
The young man in white robe I saw today, I don’t know which era he is from. He is holding a magic wand and wearing a long sword, which looks very strange.
Based on Shu Li's description, Xit roughly guessed the location of the illusion.
"The story of the elf girl and the human swordsman begins at the Bakat River. Only the river section in the middle is covered with reeds. The human you saw is probably a magic swordsman who practices both magic and swordsmanship."
As for the other party's era, it is difficult to judge.
"Oh!" Shu Li guessed, holding her chin in her hand. "Is he the human swordsman in the story?"
Sit shook his head: "Sed is a pure greatsword master."
Sede is the name of the legendary human swordsman.
Since it's a magic swordsman, it's not Seide himself.
"You said there was a badge on his white robe?" Sid touched his chin. "Do you remember the pattern?"
"Remember!" Shu Li immediately took out a small notebook and a feather pen from the storage ring, turned to a new page, closed his eyes slightly, and used the meditation skills he had just learned to recall the details of the badge.
After a moment, he picked up the pen and sketched.
Soon, a totem with a magic circle appeared on the paper.
"This is... the school emblem of St. Villiers College." Sit was surprised.
Saint Vilia College was a magic academy founded by the Mage Saint after he became the ruler of the Atrium. With a history of approximately two thousand years, it had trained many outstanding magicians. Some of these powerful magicians had left a lasting impression on history, but he had never heard of any particularly outstanding magic swordsman.
Shu Li put down his pen and looked at the beautiful school emblem on the paper. "So, the magic swordsman in the illusion is a student of Saint Vi... Saint Vilia Academy?"
Sit nodded: "Only students can wear magic robes with the school emblem."
Shu Li thought about it, picked up the pen and sketched again, this time it was a magic robe.
Although he was not good at sketching, he was able to clearly draw the style of the magic robe using the comic book style.
After finishing the painting, he looked at Sit expectantly.
Clothing changes with the times. Humans love design the most, and each era has its own unique popular styles.
School uniforms are no exception.
From the style and pattern of the magic robe, we should be able to guess which era it belongs to and how many years ago.
Sit stared at the painting for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't understand the evolution of human clothing. At least when I went to the mainland for training, the magic robes at Saint Villiers Academy weren't of this style."
"Oh..." Shu Li drooped his ears and slowly closed his notebook.
Sit couldn't bear to disappoint the little guy, so he said, "Give me this picture, I'll go ask Julia."
Julia is a master weaver of the elves and knows the history of clothing of various tribes very well. Perhaps she knows which era this magic robe belongs to.
"Okay!" Shu Li's pointed ears stood up instantly, and he tore off the paper with the magic robe and badge drawn on it with a neat movement and handed it to Sit.
Sit carefully put the paper away, a slight smile on his face. "Any more questions?"
Shu Li hesitated and asked, "Can magic...travel through time?"
He had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but he had never known how to express "travel through time and space" in Elvish. Now that the Elf had learned it almost completely, he had finally found the right word.
After the illusion this morning, he wanted to confirm even more whether he was traveling through time and space.
If so, then I can return to my original world smoothly in the future.
This issue is very important to him.
"Hmm? Traveling through time and space?" Sit seemed to have misunderstood what he meant. "Are you asking about traveling across space? Like this—"
He chanted a simple spell and suddenly disappeared from Shu Li's sight.
"Uh!" Shu Li opened his eyes wide and looked around, looking for Xit's figure.
"here."
Sit's voice came from above, Shu Li immediately looked up and saw him floating in the air with his wings spread.
In the blink of an eye, it moved more than ten meters.
Is this teleportation?
So awesome!
Shu Li rubbed her hands together, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him. "Then...what about time? For example, if you were traveling back to the past or future today. And...and...if there were two worlds, could you travel from this one to the other?"
He danced and talked more and more excitedly, making Sid dizzy.
"Stop, stop, stop—" Sit fell back to the ground, raised his hands, and made a gesture to tell the cub to stay quiet.
Shu Li had no choice but to close her mouth, puff out her cheeks, and open her innocent green eyes.
Sit resisted the urge to pinch his cheek and mused, "Time travel might be difficult. I've never seen time-related magic before. As for traveling between two worlds... which two worlds are you referring to? The heavenly realm and the human realm?"
After a pause, he sighed, "Only the gods can cross the two realms, not us. Even the Elf King... without the passage connecting the two realms, he can't travel freely."
Shu Li listened carefully, analyzed his words in his mind, and came to a conclusion.
Magic can teleport parallel to the same space and time, but it cannot travel through time, let alone across boundaries.
He wanted to return to his original world, unless he could meet the gods one day and ask them if they could help him.
So, how do you see the gods?
Become stronger!
Only by becoming stronger can you control your own destiny.
Shu Li prepared himself mentally and set a small goal for himself - to become a god of magic first.
After a good rest and refreshed, he spread the gauze-like wings behind him and planned to go to the school cafeteria for dinner.
After chatting with Xit for so long, the sun had already set.
"Sperian—"
Suddenly, he heard Budno's loud lion roar, and his ears trembled in fright.
He looked up and saw three little goblins flapping their wings not far away, rushing towards the magic practice ground.
"Sperian is still here!" Angel cheered and flew faster.
However, no matter how fast he was, Discio was even faster. He flapped his cicada-like wings and rushed to the front.
Sit, who was floating beside Shu Li, smiled and said, "The kids are here to see you."
Shu Li was a little confused and didn't quite understand why they rushed to find her.
"Sperian, we thought you were lost." Disio was the first to rush to him, tears glistening in his ruby eyes.
They practiced magic for an entire afternoon and were tired and hungry. They finally flew to the school cafeteria and were surprised to find that Sperian was missing. They asked around, but no one knew what had happened.
Some of the goblins said that he must still be on his way to the cafeteria, while some guessed that he had returned to the dormitory first. After waiting for a long time, the food was already on the table, but there was still no sign of Sperian.
Discio couldn't wait any longer and decided to leave the cafeteria to look for the boss.
The other goblins were vying to go with them, but he refused, saying that he would be the only one who could go. After all, everyone was hungry, and they needed to fill their stomachs first so that they would have the strength to work.
Angel and Budno volunteered and insisted on going together, so Desio had to agree.
The three little goblins each took two fruits to fill their stomachs and then returned the same way.
He kept calling out as he searched, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He was afraid that some blind big bird would take Sperien away.
Finally, when they were almost at the magic practice grounds, they found Sperian.
The three friends surrounded Shu Li, talking to each other and expressing their concerns anxiously, which moved Shu Li deeply.
"I'm sorry... for making you worry..." He put his arms around them and rubbed them hard.
Before Discio and Angel had enough, Budno twisted his body left and right and squeezed them out.
Disio: ╰_╯
Angel: ~_~
How can we let the little fat boy monopolize the boss position?
Of course, squeeze back.
Soon, the three little friends pushed each other so hard that Shu Li was almost scratched by them. He decisively retreated and left the "battlefield" to them.
"Puchi——" Sit laughed out loud, amused by the cute little guys.
Shu Li spread his hands helplessly, but felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Although he always felt that he was just a passer-by in another world, but... when he had left deep ties with his companions here, could he still leave without any regrets?
****
The three days passed quickly and it was the weekend in the blink of an eye.
Shu Li was like a primary school student going on a spring outing for the first time, so excited that she couldn't sleep at night.
After finishing his diary, he tossed and turned in bed, wondering if the road to the Amethyst Tree was far away, and then wondering what interesting monsters he would encounter along the way. Would they be like Mr. Snake, ferocious in appearance but gentle in heart, and friendly to fairies?
I was lost in thought for half the night, and when I finally fell asleep, I had nightmares all night long.
Since they had agreed to gather in front of the mission hall before sunrise, Shu Li specifically asked Sif, the biological alarm clock, to wake him and his three friends up.
He was fighting a monster in his dream when Sif knocked on Shuri's window with her beak.
Hearing the sound of knocking on the window, he got up in a daze, walked into the bathroom with his hair like a mess, and not surprisingly saw a pair of panda eyes in the mirror.
After getting herself ready and making sure to take everything with her, Shu Li went out while chewing on a large fruit for breakfast, and met Discio and Angel, who also had dark circles under their eyes.
"Morning... Good morning..." Angel yawned loudly.
"Good morning." Dizio burped after finishing his bite of the fruit. To save time, he prepared a large fruit, the kind that would fill you up.
"Good morning." Shu Li looked around. "Where's Budno?"
The little fat guy is not still sleeping, is he?
Discio and Angel shook their heads, indicating that they had just left the house as well.
So the three goblins flew to Budno's cottage and saw Sif pecking at the window.
Seeing them, Sif made a chirp, indicating that it was powerless.
Shu Li held his forehead.
Last night he was worried that the fat boy who loved to sleep in would not be able to get up, so he repeatedly told him to go to bed early and get up early, and absolutely not to be late.
As a result, the little fat boy still overslept.
Taking a deep breath, Shu Li raised his hand and knocked hard on the fat boy's door.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
"Budno—get up—"
He clapped and shouted.
Budno was having a sweet dream surrounded by delicious food and was about to eat the sweet red jam when he suddenly heard Sperian's voice and woke up with a start.
"Budno, if you don't get up, we will leave you alone!" Discio roared with full force.
Budno shuddered with fear and fell off the bed.
“Pah—”
It spread out on the floor like a thick pancake.
Fortunately, the floor was covered with a blanket, so he didn't get hurt. He got up in a hurry, but then he remembered that today was the day to go to the forest for a mission, and he panicked.
"I...I'm up! I'm up!"
Wow~~~
He went to bed early last night, so why did he oversleep?
After a few crackling noises, Budno finally tidied himself up and came out of the house. His ponytail was all over the place, with a large clump of hair hanging down at the back of his head.
"I'm...I'm sorry..." He looked at his three friends in shame.
Shu Li couldn't stand his messy appearance, so she reached out to help him tie his ponytail.
"Have you brought everything?" he asked.
"It's all there, it's all there!" Budno raised his chubby little finger to show the storage ring.
Since receiving the task, he has been packing things every day, taking everything he can, especially food.
Although Kumandi asked them to bring an appropriate amount of food, he was worried that he would not have enough, so he brought a little more.
It’s better to be prepared!
"Then let's go!" Shu Li looked up at the dimly lit sky and urged his friends.
The dormitory area is quite a distance away from the commercial area, and with their wings, it would take at least twenty minutes to fly there.
If Budno got up on time, there would be more than enough time.
Unfortunately, he overslept.
In this case, we have to speed up and try to reach the mission hall before the sun comes out.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp~~~”
Suddenly, Shu Li heard a familiar bird call, not Xifu, but a big fat bird.
His eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten that the big fat bird's nest was near the dormitory area?
In the small square in front of the Mission Hall, many teams were gathered for missions. Most of them were adult fairies, with a few minors. Even those minors were over 20 years old and under 100 years old.
There are very few young fairies like Kumandi who start taking missions after the age of twelve.
So far, he was the only fifteen-year-old underage goblin in the square.
Like Kumandi, there were three adult fairies who took on the task of collecting Star Spirit Grass. They were between 150 and 180 years old, and were all very young fairies.
In addition to the collection task, they also have to pray to the amethyst tree for branches.
The branches in different parts of the Amethyst Tree have different qualities, so you can't get the best one every time you pray.
If a fairy wants to make a high-level magic wand, he must pray to the amethyst tree every once in a while.
If you are lucky, you can get the best branches.
Every fairy has a heart that pursues the best.
Seeing that the sun was about to rise, the other four teammates were still nowhere to be seen. The adult fairy couldn't help but ask the young fairy.
"Kumandi, are you sure they can get out of bed?" The question was asked by an adult fairy wearing a silver forehead ring, a blue robe, and a pair of light golden eyes.
Kumandi calmly replied, "Trust Sperian."
The other three goblins might stay in bed, but Sperian definitely wouldn't.
From the time I met him until now, he has always been a self-disciplined little cub.
"Xi'er, be patient." The adult fairy with short golden hair smiled and put his arm around his companion's shoulders. "It's okay if the kids stay in bed. Our mission is not urgent."
Xier frowned and pushed his hairy hand away with a hint of disgust. "I understand."
"Xier, Ivy, the kids will be here soon, so please be nicer." The adult female fairy in white robe standing next to Kumandi said lazily with her arms folded.
Sill is serious and Ivey is overly enthusiastic; they are two extremes.
Ai Wei asked with an exaggerated expression, "I smile at everyone I see. Is that a bad attitude? But Anna, don't take this opportunity to pinch the little fat boy's face."
Anna loves to tease little cubs the most, and many little ones have suffered from her cruelty!
Even the young Kumandi could not escape her cruelty.
Anna smiled a kind smile.
Kumandi pursed his lips and took a step to the side, keeping a safe distance from Anna.
Anna sighed.
The little guy becomes less cute as he grows older.
After waiting for a while, the number of people in the square became smaller and smaller. When the sun came out, the children in their team still had not arrived.
"Hmm..." Ivy was about to express his opinion when suddenly, the sound of birds chirping came from the sky.
"Huh? What a fat bird!" Anna blinked, thinking that such a fat bird must feel good to rub.
Kumandi looked up and stared at the four fat birds, a smile flashing in his purple eyes.
"They are coming."
"What? Who—" Ivy was confused, watching the four fat birds land on the small square, scaring the goblins away.
"Gugugu~"
The big fat bird reminded the little elves on its back that they had reached their destination.
Shu Li rubbed the soft feathers, thanked him, and jumped off the fat bird's back, looking for Kumandi. When he saw the black-haired young fairy standing in front of the mission hall, he shouted, "Kumandi! We're coming!"
