360. Chapter 360: The Unknowable Talent of Time (22)



The meeting hall deep in the base.

After thoroughly confirming the monarch and his subjects, the two began to discuss the specific trapping plan.

Rosen asked: "So, how can we persuade these rebellious Dawnbreakers to rebel?"

Tiralilin was well prepared and took out a square rune weapon.

"Use our 12-ring guards to defeat them and reset the puppet spirits inside. This is the reset tool I made."

She handed the magic weapon to Rosen.

Rosen took it and examined it carefully, and found that the structure was extremely complex. The core also involved a lot of detailed knowledge of time magic, which made him frown slightly.

He could roughly understand other things, but the knowledge of time magic was beyond the limits of his knowledge.

As a result, this magical weapon is essentially out of control.

If the magic weapon is out of control, it means that the Dawn Guard is also at risk of losing control.

Unfortunately, the power of the Dawn Guard is extremely strong. Once it gets out of control, it will directly rewrite the fate of the empire.

No emperor would allow such a big uncertainty to exist in his own camp, because this war concerns the fate of hundreds of millions of citizens.

So he asked: "Does the puppet spirit also need to use time magic?"

Tilalilin nodded: "We do this for two reasons. First, we want to defend against the opponent's time spells. Second, we want to greatly increase the reaction speed of the Dawnguard."

She elaborated: "The greatest combat advantage in the world is speed, so the second effect is especially important."

"The spell that achieves this is called Time Torrent, which can increase the reaction speed of the Dawnguard by a full order of magnitude."

"Time is running wild."

Rosen repeated the word softly, yearning more and more for the powerful power of time magic, and asked: "Ms. Tiralilin, is there any way for me to obtain the gift of time?"

The gift of time is a very strange thing, and it seems to be a power existing at the subatomic level.

It is completely impossible for the Scepter of Nature to observe it, so it is naturally impossible to study it, let alone copy it.

This was not the first time he asked this question, and the reason he asked it the second time was because Tiralilin's strength increased and she gained new memories.

Tiralilin pondered for a while, and indeed gave a different answer from the last time.

"Your Majesty, the principle of time magic is extremely complicated. Even I myself cannot figure out the source of this power. I can only classify it as a gift from the Creator."

"But based on my new memories, I discovered that there is a way to transfer or share the Creator's gift."

Rosen became very interested and raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about it."

“We make soul connections and engage in deep soul resonance in the time and frequency domain.”

"If I'm lucky enough, the time gift in my soul will have a chance to be imprinted into your majesty's soul through resonance."

Rosen understood.

In fact, he had experienced a similar soul connection before, which was carried out in the Republic of Nahuat with the guardian mage Alena. Afterwards, some uncontrolled memory transfer occurred between the two sides.

But now after listening to Tilalilin's description, this should be a one-way transmission, so he was immediately very excited.

“What are the chances of success?”

"It's hard to say, because the gift of time is very precious, so this kind of resonance transfer rarely takes place."

"In the entire history of the Dawn Empire, this has only happened 206 times, and only 11 of them were successful. And the results were not very good. They could only allow the person being shared to gain basic time talents."

In other words, the success rate is about 5%, which is not high, but not low either.

"Can it be done multiple times, or only once?"

“You can do it many times, but if it doesn’t work once, you probably won’t succeed even if you do it many times.”

Rosen understood and asked again, "Are there any side effects?"

Tiralilin shook her head: "It's just a matter of luck. There are no perceptible side effects. Your Majesty, do you want to try it?"

Of course Rosen had to try it.

Tiralilin said, "First of all, we need an absolutely quiet secret room. There cannot be any interference from the magic, not even the slightest fluctuation of the magic ring."

Rosen didn't know how high the requirement for absolute silence was, so he asked directly: "Is there any place in the base that can meet the requirements?"

"There is a ready-made place, which is the Dawnguard's protective cabin. Of course, it's a little crowded."

It's a bit crowded, but barely acceptable.

The most important thing is that time is very tight now. There are only a few days left before the Gate of Creation opens. There is no time to build such a high-standard quiet room.

"If it doesn't affect the resonance ritual, then protect the cabin?"

Tira Lilin didn't mind: "As you wish, Your Majesty."

Soon, the two were transferred to the Dawn Guard's protection cabin and activated the Guard's ring wall shield. The cabin then became very, very quiet, and no spell fluctuations could be felt.

The protective cabin was also very crowded. Because of the need for soul connection, the two had to sit face to face in the narrow space.

After squeezing a few times, Tiralilin said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I hope you can keep your mind calm."

Now that he was doing business, Rosen would naturally not be idle: "Wait a moment, it will naturally calm down."

So, the two began to sit face to face in meditation.

I sat there for 20 minutes.

The first ten minutes were spent waiting for Rosen to calm down, and the last ten minutes were spent waiting for Tiralilin to calm down.

Because this wise man was deeply disturbed by the divine spear.

Twenty minutes later, Tiralilin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next, our souls will be connected together. This is not an ordinary connection, but a connection unique to the Dawn Empire."

"You say, I do."

Tiralin began to guide the connection. She spoke a sentence and Rosen responded.

About a quarter of an hour later, Rosen felt that his soul was tightly entangled with Tiralilin's soul, like two tightly entangled double helix gene chains.

Rosen could clearly feel the thoughts emerging from the depths of Tiralilin's soul, just like bubbles rising from the bottom of a clear pool.

I believe that the other person is looking at me in roughly the same way.

But there is a limit to the strength of the connection.

Each of them is still an independent individual and can only see the emergence of thoughts, but cannot see the specific content of the thoughts, let alone the situation in the depths of the other person's soul.

This is good, Rosen doesn't have to worry about Lai Fu in the deepest part of his soul being exposed.

After a while, Tiralilin sent a thought: "Now, Your Majesty, don't have any thoughts. I will also try my best to keep my mind absolutely quiet."

Rosen did as he was told.

Then, the 'bubbles' in the clear pool water gradually disappeared until it became completely calm.

Immediately afterwards, soul resonance in the time frequency domain appeared.

"Ding~Ding~Ding~Ding~"

Just like the sound of a bell telling the time, it was deep and majestic, echoing in Rosen's soul one by one.

As the sound of the soul with a strange frequency continued to vibrate, Rosen vaguely felt some subtle changes in his soul.

He immediately realized that he had won a prize and had bet on a 5% chance of success.

This made him happy, but he immediately suppressed his joy and continued to maintain a state of mind without any thoughts.

"Ding~Ding~Ding~Ding~"

In the sound of the bell, changes are taking place little by little.

After about an hour and a half, everything stabilized and no new changes occurred.

About a quarter of an hour later, the voice of Tiralilin's soul came over: "Your Majesty, congratulations, you have been favored by the Creator."

There was a hint of joy in her voice, and it was obvious that she also hoped to achieve resonance.

Then, she slowly released the soul connection state.

After the connection was completely severed, Tiralilin raised her hand, and a distorted ball of light like a glass bead appeared at her fingertips.

"A ball of weak time stagnation, one of the simplest time spells. Your Majesty, please give it a try."

Rosen nodded and began to cast the spell according to her instructions.

About a quarter of an hour later, a distorted ball of light also emerged from his fingertips. Although the size of this ball of light was also the size of a glass bead, its time lag effect was very slight, far inferior to that of Tiralilin.

Tiralilin sensed it carefully and gave her evaluation.

"Your Majesty, your time talent is very weak. With the same time spell and the same power consumption, the final time spell is less than one-fifth of mine."

“The potential for future development is probably very low.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, you can only master some simple and crude time spells such as time stagnation and rapids. As for the time spells that require delicate control such as 'insight, prophecy, time and space change', I'm afraid you will not be able to get involved."

Rosen was not greedy: "This is enough."

What he feared most was not being able to even get in the door, but as long as he could get in, he should be able to find ways to improve.

Even if you really can't lift it, there is still a way to "use force to break the cleverness".

"Now, let's move on to the subject of booby traps."

Tiralilin twisted her body and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think it's crowded here?"

Rosen was in a good mood and immediately wanted to tease her, so he thrust his back forward, causing the latter to exclaim, "It's not bad, at least I don't have to worry about being disturbed."

Tiralin adjusted her slightly crooked gold-rimmed glasses and whispered shyly, "Your Majesty, you are not trying to have fun with me, are you?"

As soon as Rosen saw the other party's state, he knew there was a chance. There was no one else around, so he asked directly: "Is it okay?"

Tiralilin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but only you and I know about this, and no one else can know about it."

Rosen was surprised: "Madam, are you shy?"

He looked carefully and saw that in the dim light, Tiralilin's face was flushed and her heartbeat was very rapid. He immediately found it very interesting.

Who would have thought that the Seven Sages of the Dawn Empire would be shy about such a small matter? Tira Lilin whispered, "I spend all my time assisting Emperor Safinos in saving the empire. The empire is collapsing day by day, and everyone is under tremendous pressure. I wish I could use every second as a day, but I don't feel like being as dissolute as Your Majesty."

That's true. It was the last empire and the emperor wanted to save the country. As a loyal minister, the pressure was enormous.

Rosen understood, but was a little puzzled: "Then why do you want to relax now?"

Having fun is a matter for both parties. If the other party is unwilling, Rosen will not force him.

The situation now is that Tiralilin is obviously motivated.

Tiralilin panted and said, "Because Your Majesty is strong enough, you won't keep sighing and asking me what to do when something happens."

Rosen understood.

Obviously, His Majesty Safinos did just that, which brought tremendous psychological pressure to Tiralilin, the scholar-mage, and naturally she had no mind for fun.

While the two were talking, Rosen had already skillfully put the sword back into the sheath, but the former royal sage who was holding the sheath suddenly found it difficult to bear the weight, and his whole body trembled violently, and his breathing became uneven.

Rosen thought to himself: "Hey, this one is even more vulnerable than the Banshee Queen Neferoniya."

Of course, it was impossible to discuss business in this situation, so Rosen focused on having fun.

They waited until it was done before they began to discuss the plan to entrap the traitorous Dawnbreakers.

When the plan was discussed and they were about to leave the Dawnguard's protective cabin, Tiralilin suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the talent for time is hereditary, but the strength of inheritance is random. There may be mediocre talents, but there may also be extraordinary geniuses."

Rosen glanced at Tiralilin and saw that her cheeks were flushed and she was looking straight at him, and it was obvious that there was something else behind her words.

As a flower walker, he could naturally hear the other party's hidden meaning, and said with a smile: "Obviously I'm lucky. Otherwise, how about we try our luck again?"

Tiralilin nodded slightly: "As you command, Your Majesty."
