Chapter 257 042: Come Back
Two days later, the time in the time fragments came to an end, and when the moment of the end came, the whole world shattered like a mirror with a series of crisp crackling sounds.
A dazzling white light flashed, and when Luo Xi opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had changed.
The bustling streets that were once crowded with people disappeared, replaced by broken ruins. The exquisite square that was once bustling with people was also replaced by the broken and desolate land it once was. The lonely wind blew through the ruins, making a humming sound.
"Ah~! We, we are back!" Kane exclaimed.
"It really is the same town as before. We are back again. Were all the things before that just dreams?"
“It was a magical experience.”
The three treasure hunters obviously haven't escaped from their previous world yet.
These days, Roxi was studying in the library, and the three of them had nothing to do, so Felix arranged for two monks to accompany them to wander around. In more than ten days, the three treasure hunters got a good feel for the customs and culture of the Sigrama era.
"Oh, everything is gone. It seems like I can't bring anything out." Jerome looked at his empty pockets and sighed in disappointment.
Although Rosie had explained to them that they were just a fragment of time in that world and nothing in it could be taken out, Jerome was still unwilling to accept it. After all, that was the real Sigrama era, and any treasure taken out would be priceless now.
So he collected a lot of things in the town these days, including currency circulating in the market, porcelain crafts, and even some rare materials from the Sigrama era, hoping to make a fortune when he returned to this world.
Unfortunately, reality dealt him a heavy blow. His pockets, which were originally full of stuff, were emptied again, and the stuff inside disappeared completely as expected.
Angel took out a pocket watch to check the time, then said, "Lord Luo Xi, it seems like we have only been in there for a few seconds. The time on my pocket watch is still the time when we activated the magic circle. Even the hands are the same."
Luo Xi nodded: "There's nothing strange about this. The time in the time fragment is just a moment in the material world."
Angel exclaimed: "It's amazing."
Luo Xi said: "Okay, forget everything that happened here today, otherwise it will cause trouble for you."
The research value of this spell, which is equivalent to being able to travel back in time to the period of the Sigrama Dynasty, is absolutely indescribable. If any wizarding organization knew about it, they would probably not be able to resist the temptation here.
By then, those who successfully activated the magic circle and entered the time fragments will undoubtedly be excellent research materials. If they don't want to be put on the experimental table, it's best not to let anyone know what happened here today.
Angel said, "I promise I won't say anything nonsense."
Jerome and Kane also swore solemnly: "We swear on our honor as knights."
Luo Xi nodded: "That's good."
Although he trusted Angel and the others verbally, it was just a perfunctory gesture. In fact, he was planning to use Oblivion afterwards. Only by completely erasing this memory could he get rid of it once and for all. He didn't trust anything else.
In addition, this magic circle also needs to be destroyed. Speaking of this magic circle, it is actually impossible for someone else to restore it.
After all, there were too many missing parts of the magic circle at that time, and it could only be explored by activating it again and again. However, the energy backlash caused by the activation of the missing magic circle would instantly swallow up everything, and there was no possibility of continuing to explore.
While exploring the ruins, Luo Xi also found traces of previous explorations. Other wizards should have discovered that there was a strange magic circle here, but they were unable to restore it, so the magic circle remained here.
Now, Luo Xi only needs to destroy the magic circle again, and he won't have to worry about other wizards deducing the original magic circle based on the clues at the scene.
Let this dusty history remain sealed.
After a pause, Luo Xi continued, "You guys should go check out the cellar quickly. Maybe you can find something there."
"Ah! Yes!"
"That's what the wizard said."
"I almost forgot."
The three of them hurriedly ran towards the church. Before leaving, Felix told them the detailed location of the church cellar.
The church used a lot of space magic. After the collapse of these space magics, the things inside would be scattered to various locations according to specific coordinates, and other people did not know these coordinates. So it was possible that the cellar had not been dug out by anyone.
Luo Xi was about to follow, but after taking two steps, he remembered something and turned to Lina next to him and said, "By the way, Lina..."
However, at this moment, he noticed that Lina looked a little strange.
At this moment, she was not flying around babbling and waving her arms and legs like usual, but was floating quietly to one side with a dull look in her eyes, looking distraught.
Luo Xi said: "Lina?"
“Lina!”
“Lina!!!”
He shouted three times in succession before Lina finally came to her senses. She screamed "Ah", then looked around and asked, "What? What happened?"
Luo Xi frowned: "Shouldn't I be the one asking this? What's wrong with you? You look so absent-minded."
Lina was silent for a moment, then raised her hands and waved them in front of her eyes: "I'm back again. I'm dead again."
Luo Xi was stunned.
Lina took a breath and said, "The feeling of being a human being these days is really different."
In the fragments of time, Lina got rid of the ghost form and restored her previous body. She was no longer an invisible and intangible transparent spirit, but a real and living elf.
Felix was unable to give a convincing explanation for how this strange phenomenon occurred, only saying that it might have been affected by the law of time.
Luo Xi comforted him: "If you still want to experience it, I can activate the magic circle again and send you in."
Anyway, the time in the time fragments is only a moment outside. As a companion for so long, if Lina really needs it, he can generously send her in.
Lina was silent for a moment, looking a little hesitant.
But in the end, he shook his head and sighed, "Forget it. Even if I go in, I won't really come back alive."
