Ash looked at the virtual map and asked:

"Speaking of which, witch, do you know the time faction?"

"Yes."

"It is said that the time faction is most effective when practiced in the Time Continent. Is that true?" Ash also asked.

"That's right." Diya nodded, stretched out her hand to touch the countercurrent golden rain rising from the grass and trees next to her, and said: "In fact, every drop of golden rain contains time knowledge, or in other words, all the time in the time continent is condensed in the golden rain. When I absorb the condensed power of the golden rain, the time knowledge in the golden rain can be almost 100% converted into my faction realm. Compared with other factions, I can gain an additional ten to fifteen times the time faction experience."

"So good?" Even the uneducated Ash was envious: "But why don't I feel that my time faction has increased?"

Because this question was too stupid, the White Queen paused and then slowly explained, "Because you, the viewer, have not stepped over the threshold of the time faction. When you absorb the white mist in the sea of ​​knowledge, you can only increase the factions that have entered the silver realm. As for those factions that you have not mastered, you cannot gain experience."

Sonia explained it more vividly: "The knowledge in the white mist and golden rain is like the voice of a professor in class. Only those who can understand it can understand it. Those who can't understand it will just become noise."

Ash understood completely, thought for a moment and said, "But the time faction is too profitable in the time continent. Just walking can improve the faction realm... Sword Princess, do you have a way to enter the time faction?"

"No way." Sonia shook her head helplessly: "In theory, the best way to enter the time faction is to step into the time continent. But if you cannot absorb time knowledge from the golden rain after entering the time continent, it means that you don't have this talent, and you can't enter no matter what you do. The time faction is one of the most talent-intensive magic factions. There is no point in trying hard. Talent determines everything. You can't envy it."

"Aren't you envious?"

"I don't envy you."

"But I have also entered the Time Faction." Ash looked at the newly appeared "Time Faction: Silver Level" on his operator interface and said with a grin, "Now you are the only one who failed to take advantage of the Void Realm."

Because of the bond, the time faction experience gained by the witch will also be diverted to Ash. Although Ash has no talent, as long as the experience fed by the witch allows him to cross the silver threshold, he will naturally be able to enjoy the benefits of being fed by the virtual world.

Sonia's mouth curled up. She pretended to be angry but now she was really angry. She directly grabbed Ash's neck in the front row and said, "You know everything, why don't you help me think of a solution! For example, the last time the magic spirit summoning ceremony--"

"That depends on luck, and aren't you afraid that you'll be forced to tell the truth for a few days because of your sincerity?"

"How can my luck always be so bad!——"

The White Queen watched them playing and fighting, and secretly said in her heart: "Diya, I don't think I am suitable for their way of getting along. I am too old and too mature. Maybe you can get along with them better if you come in person."

"don't want."

"Absolutely not."

"I only trust you."

“I don’t want to meet other people.”

The White Queen sighed. At this moment, Ash suddenly screamed. A figure suddenly appeared in front of the sports car, and then -

Bang!

The sports car braked suddenly and the three people were almost thrown out by inertia.

They looked back and saw that the person who had suddenly appeared just now had been cut into two pieces by the evil sharp blade of the sports car, and fell on the grass like two pieces of rags with a snap.

Ash immediately shifted the blame: "It's your fault, Sword Princess. It's all your fault for harassing me!"

Sonia: "It was obviously you who drove carelessly!"

Diya: "...We actually managed to kill a magician directly?"

…

…

Fortunately, they did not kill anyone. The one who died was just a projection of a sorcerer, which means they just whipped the corpse.

In other words, the first sorcerer projection that Ash and Sonia encountered in the Continent of Time was not killed by them, but was hit by a car.

Let alone skills, they didn't even know what the magician's projection looked like, and they just ran over it in a daze... It sounds like they were taking human life lightly.

Unlike the Sea of ​​Knowledge, the projections of magicians in the Continent of Time will not stay in one place, but will move randomly. Therefore, it is very common to suddenly encounter monsters during virtual realm exploration.

Although the projection of this magician died too quickly, they were still able to confirm his faction from the dropped magic spirits. He should be a fire-weak magician, that is, a dual practitioner of fire and bitterness. In total, 2 two-winged magic spirits and 3 one-winged magic spirits were dropped. As the first business order of the Time Continent, the profit was not bad.

No one had any demand for these magic spirits, so Ash thought for a moment and asked, "Witch, do you have a way to exchange magic spirits for other resources in reality? Before you joined the team, our distribution method was to divide the magic spirits that were not in demand into different values. The valuable ones were given to Sword Girl to sell for money, and the worthless ones were left for me to exchange for special resources that only I could use."

Diya shook her head: "It is not convenient for me to exchange magic spirits in reality, so the excess magic spirits can continue to be distributed in the same way as before. But as compensation, can I read the magician manual first?"

Ash's eyes lit up: "Can you also read all the magician manuals?"

"Also?" Diya blinked, but shook her head: "No, my success rate in reading magician manuals is about 80%. Not all manuals can be read. For example, those magician manuals that are particularly abnormal, disgusting, and weird, I can't accept them anyway."

"The viewer can read all the magician manuals." Sonia patted Ash's shoulder calmly, "Even those manuals that you can't accept, he can read them completely with relish, isn't that amazing?"

The White Queen clapped her hands on the surface, but secretly raised the threat level of the viewer again. Since entering the virtual realm, the viewer's performance was too kind and a little confused. He didn't even know many common sense of magicians, so that people forgot that he was a terrifying sorcerer who could track/dominate/defeat him.

The reason why Diya doesn't dare to face the viewer in person is largely because the viewer once completely defeated her in her mind realm.

Faced with this existence that even thoughts cannot surpass, Diya was so scared that she could only hide behind the White Queen.

Now Diya is even more afraid - the soul that can read all the magician manuals may not be a noble person, but it definitely has no bottom line and is ten thousand times more evil than the most evil villain in fairy tales.

Ash didn't notice that Sword Lady had lowered his reputation a lot. He thought for a moment and said, "No problem. From now on, Witch, you can read the Sorcerer's Manual first. You can give me the manuals you can't read... Wait, give me the Sorcerers Sword Lady doesn't need, and give me the manuals Witch can't read. Why do I feel like I've become a trash can?"

"Of course not," Diya said immediately, "It's because we don't have the ability to use these resources, so we have to give up. And the fact that you can use these resources efficiently is a reflection of your strength!"

"So you have to be more confident." Sonia narrowed her eyes and snorted happily: "Remove the 'seemingly'!"

As she spoke, Diya picked up the fallen magician's manual. The manual was bordered with gold and had a black flame flower on the cover. When she opened the first page, she secretly activated the "Mask Magic Spirit".

Personality split - mask reshaping - temporary mode, ever-changing!

I saw Diya's hair began to show various colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, etc. Fortunately, it did not cause light pollution. At first, the color was relatively bright and clear, but slowly it began to become turbid, like low-quality paint poured into a puddle, mixed into a dirty dark red.

Now, not only Ash, who knew the inside story, but even Sonia realized that Diya was not relying on her own flexible values, but was reading the magician's manual through some kind of miracle.

This is why Diya was able to become a two-winged magician and step into the Continent of Time without any magician education - most of her magician knowledge was obtained by reading the magician manual in the virtual world!

Even though she did not have Ash's ability to explore, she had spent two full years in the Sea of ​​Knowledge and had read more than forty magician manuals. Although her knowledge system was not as organized as Sonia's, she had mastered the basic knowledge needed to enter the virtual realm and was a thorough practical wildcat magician.

Wild cats may not be as strong as domestic cats, but their survival ability is just as good, or even better.

Before turning to the last page, Diya stopped and handed it to Ash: "Would you like to take a look? Every magician's manual may contain information worth recording. If you are willing to give this manual to me, just stop before reading the last page."

As expected, Ash took it and looked at it for a while before suddenly letting out a sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"I felt like I saw someone we knew in there."
