Chapter 206 Back to the Past
Catherine used the excuse that her visit was over and successfully left the Emerald Dream Forest.
Catherine was very happy that she was not entangled by the druid Brandir, and she kept saying that she had learned something. If she met such a persistent type in the future, she would learn from Amberxiu and directly say that she would never marry a foreigner.
Amberxiu didn't waste any time and went straight back to his underground palace.
During his absence, his ghosts worked diligently, digging out thousands of square meters of new space in this underground ruin.
It has to be said that this lost underground civilization was really rich. There are many gold products in the excavated space, and a rough estimate shows that the value of them is over one million gold coins.
But one million was a small amount of money for Amber Xiu, so he just locked it in the vault. Amber Xiu was too lazy to weigh it carefully.
Now that everything is ready, Ambersu lets Naomi try to transform into a time dragon.
Naomi stood in the center of the square that Amber had prepared for her and began to breathe deeply. Natural energy flowed through her body and soon turned into a honey-like light that enveloped her.
This ball of brilliant fluid began to grow rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it became a huge monster.
The body, claws, dragon head, horns, and wings... a huge silver-white dragon appeared above the square.
The dragon's body shone with gorgeous light, as if it was constantly changing its form, with a hazy beauty. The dragon had a slender body, and its eyes shone as brightly as the stars.
A huge dragon's might emerged, which made Amber feel a little pressured. Naomi's transformation was perfect, and she could even simulate the dragon's might completely.
Catherine praised: "It's very beautiful, but it's a little different from the time dragon described in the book."
Amber said: "After all, she is a dragon transformed by a druid, and a special species of time dragon. It is normal to have differences. Appearance is not important, as long as she can use the power of time."
Catherine said excitedly, "Yes, the key is to go back in time. We just go back to the past without any preparation? How far back do we have to go? And how do we get back?"
Amber Xiu could only say: "I don't really understand the effect of time travel, why not ask Naomi."
Naomi, who had transformed into a time dragon, lowered her head and said to Amber and Catherine, "I can feel a powerful force gathering, but I'm afraid I can't control it perfectly. Master, I may not be able to send you to the corresponding time node accurately."
"How big can the error be?" asked Amber Xiu.
"One or two days, or maybe one or two years. I've never practiced before, so I have no way of confirming it. Why don't you let me practice a few times first?" Naomi asked.
But Amber said confidently: "No, I will help you. Fate will give us the right guidance."
Things like probability are completely modifiable values for a legendary prophecy mage.
Naomi would not disobey Amber's order, so she continued, "If everything goes well, I can freely control whether to return to the past or the present. Because we return to the same moment, in the eyes of others, we may have only been away for a moment. Of course, this is if everything goes well."
Amber looked at Catherine and said to her, "Why don't you not go? After all, there are still risks."
Catherine quickly shook her head and said, "That won't work. I've worked so hard during this period. How can I miss this rare opportunity to time travel? Don't worry, I've arranged everything. The elves will be fine without me."
Amber has handed over all the sealing techniques, the elves are no longer in danger of extinction, and Catherine has resigned from the position of queen. She is free to choose her own life.
Time travel, something that many elves have never tried, Catherine doesn't want to miss it. Amber Xiu is helpless, it does feel a bit like killing the donkey without taking Catherine with him.
"Then let's get started. Let me make it clear that you are taking the risk this time!"
After Amberxiu finished speaking, a large number of dice of fate began to appear around him.
Naomi was also ready and began to control the elusive force of time.
As Naomi began to exert her power, the space around her began to become hazy, as if countless shards of glass appeared, cutting everything into pieces.
Then these broken spaces began to turn into colorful colors and spun wildly.
However, Amber Xiu and Catherine felt nothing. The light and shadow before their eyes seemed to be an illusion, and no matter how it changed, it had no effect on them.
Amberxiu will not let his guard down. No matter what the situation is, he will throw the dice of fate to Naomi first so that she can control the time of rewinding.
Amberxiu had to go back to ten days before Harvey sensed the prophecy, which gave himself time to find Harvey.
Ten days should be enough for Amber to find Harvey and weave a false fate for him.
But after throwing the dice of fate, Amber felt something was wrong. Naomi was like a black hole, constantly swallowing his dice of fate. One or two dice were definitely not enough, and one or two hundred seemed to be a lot less... In order to reach that precise moment, Amber needed to add more power of fate.
"That was reckless. I should have let her practice for a few days. How far is this from happening?"
Amber Xiu complained helplessly, and then summoned his golden throne. The power of destiny can also be used to cast spells. The number of destiny dice increased dramatically, like a wave sinking into Naomi's body.
After a few minutes, the rotating light and shadows around gradually calmed down and finally stopped. Naomi lay on the ground exhausted and quickly returned to human form.
The time reversal just now had consumed all her strength, and now she couldn't even move a finger.
Amberxiu quickly picked her up and cast several recovery spells. He was relieved after confirming that Naomi was just exhausted.
Catherine asked curiously, "Did it work? Why didn't anything change?"
It seemed as if nothing had changed, they didn't even move, they were still in the dark underground space.
"No, it has changed. Look around. The 'home' we built before is gone."
Amber pointed to a certain direction in the darkness. It was a huge rock building that was supposed to be converted into a laboratory by Amber. Catherine also built her own greenhouse next to it. But now, the building still looks its most primitive.
Amber Xiu pondered and said, "Time has gone back, but our position has not changed. This makes sense. The Time Dragon changes time, not space."
Amber was not 100% sure if this was the reason, as he did not know what the power of time was. When Naomi used it just now, he did not feel anything at all.
Now Naomi is so tired that she has fallen asleep, and it is not easy to wake her up. We can only leave here first.
"Let's go back to the surface first and confirm which time point we can go back to."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber took Catherine and walked towards the entrance of the underground ruins, and then saw a complete door without any gap.
"Oh no, forget it."
Amber touched the city gate, which was made of unknown material, and was stunned for a moment.
This underground ruins has never been excavated until an earthquake opened the city gate, so Heki Stone asked Amber to move here.
After going back in time, the earthquake had not happened yet and the city gate was tightly closed.
This is the city gate that the dwarves have spent many years digging open but have failed. How can I get out?
Catherine was also a little panicked because she tried to shoot an arrow at the city gate. The energy arrow shot by the artifact was enough to penetrate the city wall, but it only left a small hole on it.
Catherine was surprised and said, "What kind of material is this? It's so strong?"
Amberxiu shook his head. He only knew that it was made of the corpse of some creature mixed with many kinds of metal materials, but he didn't know the specific formula.
Seeing that Catherine was still trying hard, Amber stopped her and said, "Don't waste your energy. Since this door was opened later because of the earthquake, we can't open it now. Remember what I said, the fate that has already happened cannot be changed. What we want to change by going back to the past is the future that has not yet happened."
Destiny is a thread. No matter how it turns or even gets knotted, it is still a thread from beginning to end. You cannot cut it and reconnect it with a new thread.
Perhaps fate has already determined the outcome of Amber's rescue of Harvey. Regardless of success or failure, Amber is just following the script now.
"Are we just going to wait here? If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have gone back in time here," Catherine complained.
Amber Xiu was not in a hurry. He thought that he would do his best and leave the rest to fate. He would always find a way.
"Don't worry, just look around. I don't believe that the goddess of fate sent me back to the past just to mock me."
This is Amberxiu's confidence. After experiencing so much, Amberxiu began to believe that he was favored by the goddess of fate. If this person appeared and gave him the qualification to be chosen by God, Amberxiu would definitely agree.
Unfortunately, fate is always mysterious and unpredictable.
Relying on his memory, Amberxiu began to look for a new exit in this dark place.
However, before they had walked far, Amber was so frightened that he summoned the Golden Throne. Catherine reacted quickly, summoning her mount, the Black Panther, and raising her artifact longbow.
Because in this darkness, many strange spots of light appeared, looking like eyes.
This was very wrong. According to Herky Stone, there were no living creatures in this underground ruins. How could there be living things where there were no corpses? However, what was going on with these eyeballs?
The darkness could not block Amber's perception, and he quickly "saw" the appearance of these monsters in the dark.
These huge numbers of monsters all look like toads.
Amberxiu couldn't help but think of the picture he had seen in a monster manual. Is this... a Slaad?
