"It's of no use to the mission, but it's our gain. With this gain, even if the mission isn't completed, we've already made a profit!" Churchill explained.
Hearing this, Harold curled his lips in boredom. Although he had made a profit, he wasn't really happy. Perhaps it was because the secret of this village hadn't been truly unlocked?
“No! With these things, we can actually solve the mystery of this village!” Sarah suddenly said, and everyone looked at her.
"There were traces of a magic circle in that house. This magic circle was the key to causing the fire that set the entire village on fire. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been drawn by the person in the diary. At the same time, the fire-type spirit stone in Catherine's hand is the best evidence!"
"Furthermore, what's truly perplexing is the infinitely looping spacetime here. The two books I've obtained precisely illustrate that this constantly repeating spacetime phenomenon does indeed exist here, but how do we solve this problem? I have no clue at the moment!"
"However, one thing is certain: the power of spacetime is not something that someone created. He probably just happened to use the environment here to create an infinitely looping spacetime."
"As for who this person is, I don't think we need to continue to investigate. After all, this is just a mission setup, and it's hard to say whether there is really someone here. The Dean certainly wouldn't harm living beings indiscriminately."
"Most importantly, our mission was accomplished the moment Catherine took the fire-type spirit stone!"
Sarah said, raising the wristband in her hand, which already contained one hundred points.
Catherine did not take the points directly; all the points were collected by Sarah and would be distributed when they were about to leave, to see if they would be given to one person to win the grand prize or distributed among everyone to receive smaller rewards.
"Completed?" Harold and the others were stunned. They opened their wristbands and, sure enough, the mission to uncover the truth behind the village's destruction was complete, which made Harold and the others feel somewhat unreal.
"Okay! It's really done! So where do we go now? The next mission location?" Houndoom scratched his head. Anyway, it's always a good thing that the mission is completed.
“No! We might have to stay here a little longer. Although the mission is complete, since a time loop has occurred here, there should be some related items. If we can find them, it will definitely be a generous reward!” Sarah said excitedly. Magic books about time and space have always been rare items, and ordinary magicians don’t even have the qualifications to come into contact with them.
"Fine! So, I hate magic!" Harold shrugged helplessly. This mission not only lacked any exhilarating feeling, but also left him with almost nothing to show for it. Killing a few magical beasts would have been much more satisfying.
"Hehe! I'll get you more warrior-related manuals next time!" Catherine chuckled, and together with Sarah, they continued searching for other related items.
As the fire-elemental spirit stone was taken away, the fire in the entire village gradually went out, seemingly due to the fire-elemental magic circle. However, no matter how much Sarah and the others searched the entire village, they couldn't find any more items related to time and space. They did find some broken fire-elemental items, but they were all useless, just some basic materials.
It seems that the person could only set up a simple magic circle, one that even Sarah could understand and set up. It just happened to coincide with the conditions of time and space reincarnation, which is why it seemed a bit mysterious.
"Should we wait another night? See if the time reversal happens again?" Harold couldn't help but ask, seeing the disappointed expressions on the two women's faces.
“No need. The environment here is completely different from yesterday. The surrounding elements are dissipating, so there shouldn’t be any more time travel phenomena!” Sarah shook her head and said.
Although they didn't know why, Sarah and Catherine could still sense the differences in the surrounding elements. If nothing unexpected happened, the phenomenon of time reversal would not reappear once the mission ended.
“Alright! Shall we move on to the next location?” Harold asked.
“Hmm, I think it’s a good idea, but we need to be careful. After a day, most of the mission points should have been cleared out. If we still want to quickly gain points, then defeating our classmates is undoubtedly the fastest way. So, this mountain range should fall into chaos soon!” Sarah said after thinking for a moment.
"It's alright, you're here just in time. I was worried about where to get points. Simply killing monsters is too slow!" Harold said, waving his fist.
Having made up their minds, the five of them did not stay in the village any longer. After having breakfast, they chose to leave immediately, searching for magical beasts in the mountains while looking for any unfinished quest points.
Of course, they also took care of the unruly classmates they encountered along the way, turning them into their own points.
After wandering around for two days, the five of them had accumulated more than 200 points, which was definitely high among all the students, but it was still far from enough to win first place.
On the fourth day, the five of them arrived at the bottom of a waterfall, and the wristband moved again. No one expected that there was still an unfinished task here.
"Clear the evil dragon? Reward: 400 points?" Upon seeing the mission notification, the five people couldn't help but gasp. The village mission they had completed took them a whole day, and they had only earned 100 points. Now, just clearing out an evil dragon would reward them with 400 points, which was more than double their current total points.
"Damn! I'll take these 400 points!" Harold said excitedly. If they could get these 400 points, they would definitely be able to get a good ranking in this trial, and they could even try to get first place.
"Don't be impulsive. Everyone wants a mission worth 400 points, but this mission hasn't been completed yet. You can imagine how strong that evil dragon is!" Black Luga shook his head and said rationally.
“You’re right. Let’s find out what’s going on here first. We probably aren’t the first people to arrive!” Sarah nodded and said.
Instead of leaving immediately, the group wandered around the area, searching for any lone classmates. While collecting points, they also investigated the situation. Once they understood the situation, everyone's expression immediately darkened.
