I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"It's not bad. I can clearly feel that this is an isolated space..."

"I told you that this is a training ground where time flows at different speeds. It must be isolated." Cheng Rang patted the book in his hand, "What's next, how do we start?"

"Same as last time, when learning the time spell, you must first understand cause and effect." Leticia nodded to Cheng Rang, "Open the book."

"you sure?"

The last time I was stuffed with knowledge, I felt clearly like yesterday. Lying dead on the ground for five minutes scared Leticia for some reason, and even the system was interfered with.

To be honest, Cheng Rang was a little scared.

"You can read it as long as you want. There's so much nonsense. Don't you trust me?"

"Believe it! Of course I believe it!"

Cheng Rang knew that Letitia would never harm him. Although she was a bit venomous at times, she had long been used to it.

Without any further hesitation, Cheng Rang, determined to die, sat cross-legged in the snow and opened the first page of the Book of Cause and Effect in his arms.

Different from last time, this time there was no torrent of knowledge that bombarded his soul and brought Cheng Rang directly to the outrageous scene of the vast universe. The first sentence on the first page of the previous volume was actually comprehensible words. , rather than a variant text carrying strange knowledge.

"Well...."

Cheng Rang looked distressed. As expected, the entire content was written in Leticia's native language, Esperanto. Even though Cheng Rang had gnawed at the book before, he never used it very much... Compared to other commonly used texts, It will still be a little difficult and unfamiliar to read.

But it’s not like you can’t understand it, that is, you have to read it slowly.

Beginning of the first chapter.

——What is cause and effect?

The so-called cause and effect, the cause is the cause that can create certain consequences, and the effect is the result produced by a certain cause. The theory of cause and effect arises from the theory of dependent origination, and the theory of cause and effect is the basis of the theory of liberation from reincarnation.

The Time Mantra of Brisac Mantra is a practical application of cause and effect and spiritualism.

For example, the "Time Spell Healing Light" used to treat the injured, the basic principle is to cut off the "cause" and "effect" that cause the injury and form the wound.

For example, incision injuries are caused by a knife cutting the skin, causing physical damage, bleeding and pain. Over time and self-healing, the cut muscle gradually heals, the wound scabs, falls off and eventually fully recovers. Comb this series of occurrences from beginning to end, and the monofilaments become lines.

The treatment of Time Curse Healing Light is to cut off the complete causal line from [cutting the skin causing damage] to [wounds appearing] and [wound healing], resulting in the paradox of [cause but no effect] or [effect but no cause]—— That is, the monofilament does not form a thread.

Without any cause or effect, it naturally means that it does not happen.

The wounds will also disappear.

Rather than ascribing the treatment of Time Curse Healing Light to [healing], it is better to say that it is [erasing].

But the theory that supports the ability of the spell caster to do this and understand how to do it successfully is that the spell caster himself has suffered such an injury and has experienced the process of healing step by step from the injury.

Only by experiencing and understanding cause and effect can we cut off cause and effect.

This is also the same as what Leticia said at the beginning, if you want to use the Time Spell to heal others, you must have suffered the same injury, and if you want to use the Time Spell to take away other people's vision, you must have experienced darkness.

On the other hand, tiny paradoxes that cut off the production of cause and effect will inevitably be rejected by the world's restraining power (general name), which will incur a certain backlash price.

And this so-called [price] is the [consumption] that the caster of the time spell has to bear.

"It's so complicated..."

Cheng Rang felt dizzy when he saw this, but this was only the first page.

"That's for sure. I have written down my understanding as much as possible. The really difficult part is in the last one." Leticia stood next to Cheng Rang, "If you don't understand anything, just write it down." Ask, and I will be responsible for answering. By the way, the reason why it is split into two books is because the first volume is all about this simple theoretical summary, and the second volume is the kind of Yunfa text you read last time."

"Yunfa text?"

"It means writing a book with determination, gathering high-dimensional knowledge that cannot be explained in words into unique words and ink, and sealing it in the medium."

Cheng Rang thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean using the Time Spell to write a book?"

"Pretty much, because there's a price to pay."

Pay the price?

Cheng Rang suddenly remembered something and raised his eyes to Leticia beside him. She looked at him expressionlessly.

"Isn't this equivalent to you writing a new book?"

"Yes what's the matter."

Leticia's plain tone almost made Cheng Rang forget her warning when he first received the book "Cause and Price".

[Just writing this book took me three hundred and sixty-nine years. 】

As soon as she regains consciousness, she will immediately start writing and continue writing without stopping, and every time she writes, a part of Leticia's soul and body will disappear due to the price.

But because she is an immortal and has lost the concept of death, she can pay the price of writing this book repeatedly. She will "die" every time she writes a stroke or a word.

But Cheng Rang just opened the first page and glanced at the first Yunfa text, and his brain was burned directly and he lay dead for five minutes.

The kind of nerves and souls that have been minced

The feeling of smashing the machine into pieces, putting it in a bag and beating him, even after he recovered, prevented him from getting a good night's sleep for three days, let alone the need to write everything on the page with his own hand. Thea.

How long and excruciating would that be? How much strong will is needed to persevere for three hundred and sixty-nine years, every day?

"First question...why did you write that book? I mean the first edition of Cause and Price."

Out of curiosity, Cheng Rang asked this question.

And even if Leticia put so much effort into writing it, no one would be able to read it! Isn't this just torturing yourself?

Leticia answered.

Knowledge is useless if it cannot change behavior; but once knowledge changes behavior, knowledge itself immediately loses its meaning.

"Just like the mathematical formulas we know, if they can't help us solve problems, then does it make sense to memorize them? If I can memorize them and pass the exam, does it still make sense?"

Leticia continued: "For those who have mastered knowledge, starting to use knowledge to create value is like making money in business. If you know the way, you will naturally know how to make money. But for those poor people, they If they don’t know how to make as much money as a capitalist from scratch, then the knowledge they don’t understand is a treasure to them.”

It is true that there will be some people who hide what they know and do not want others to know, but in Leticia's view, the essence of any knowledge lies in its ability to be shared with others.

Shared knowledge is meaningful only if it brings convenience to others.

This also explains why, as long as someone wants to learn the Brisac Conjuration, Letitia will not refuse no matter who makes such a request.

If you want to learn, I will teach you.

"Don't you ask for rewards and results?" Cheng Rang asked her confused.

Leticia shook her head slightly.

“Sharing knowledge to those in need is reward.”

"Even if no one can learn this knowledge, can't it be taken away?"

Leticia looked at Cheng Rang holding the book and raised a nice eyebrow slightly.

"Isn't this already there?"

Cheng Rang couldn't help but be stunned.

...

Even if there is only one, it is meaningful.

"My life has no end, so as long as it is meaningful, how long it takes is just the difference between doing it and not doing it."

Maybe you can wait, maybe you can't, but you just keep doing it, preparing for the non-existent wait.

Ten years, a hundred years...ten thousand years.

If you do it, you won’t regret it. If you haven’t done it and you wait, you won’t regret it.

But okay... I'm lucky, Letitia thought.

Looking at Cheng Rang who was silent again and began to chew the book in front of her, she laughed quietly.

I've done it... and I've waited for you.

Just catching a glimpse of the ring on Cheng Rang's ring finger when he was flipping through the book made Leticia's mouth filled with bitterness.

But even if I wait...

We must continue to wait.

I have been waiting for many days, but this period is difficult, but there is hope after all.

Although she had an annoying amount of time, Leticia was glad that she didn’t lack it——

It’s just time.

Chapter 7 Kidnapped? !

In the noisy and smoky streets of Hersharemzlot, Xiao Mo held Isabella's hand and kept chewing something in her mouth. A thin octopus tentacle was outside her mouth. Twisting back and forth.

Crunch....crunch....

This is said to be a popular octopus gummy candy recently. You can buy a small bag of it for one zeel, and it comes in various flavors. I happened to see it on the roadside, and Xiao Mo, who was attracted by the strange candy, couldn't leave his feet.

Isabella took out the money and bought a bag for her.

Who knew that this thing looked so cute, and it would actually move when you opened the package. Isabella's face turned pale instantly. This crazy unfolding made Isabella, who was still thinking about trying it, lose her desire.

"It's delicious. This one is grape flavored with strawberry jam." Xiao Mo pointed to the purple tentacles twisting hard outside the mouth and recommended it to Isabella.

"Strawberry jam is..."

"It's stuck in the octopus's head, and it will explode when you bite it. It's super sweet~"

"Knew it...."

Isabella sighed, waved her hands and said, "Xiao Mo, just eat it."

"Then leave your share to brother." Xiao Mo stuffed the remaining octopus candy back into his pocket.

Just as the two of them were about to continue shopping, there was the sound of something landing above their heads, and along with the sound of the wind came a distinctive voice that was so sweet that it made people tired.

"Da~ling~~! I miss you so much!"

The sudden attack from behind Xiao Mo was defused by her long hair that transformed into a steel cone and was stabbed backwards. The sharp black needle collided with the mechanical shield and erupted with jingling sounds and flames.

A pink-haired figure in a Gothic dress gracefully flipped in mid-air, tapping the ground with her toes as she descended.

The flower umbrella that had just unfolded the mechanical shield clicked back and was carried on her shoulders.

"Ah? Darling, how did you become like this?"

The person who came was none other than the Paranoid King Alekira. She held one hand in front of her forehead as if looking into the distance, looking at the little girl.

Mo and Isabella.

Without giving the two of them a chance to speak, Alykira continued to talk to herself, "I smelled Darling's scent and was still with this woman. In order not to be caught by me, I even thought of turning into a cute girl." , Na na, it’s useless, in my eyes, a Darling is a Darling~!”

"The ruthless attack is still so charming~" Alykira held her hands in front of her chest like a narcissist and twirled around like a ballerina.

"Alekira, I think you got the wrong person this time." Isabella looked helplessly at the girl in front of her who suddenly became happy, and secretly cursed in her heart.

Although it’s not entirely an admission of error…

"Admit a mistake? How is that possible! It's impossible for me to admit the wrong person!" Alekira threw away the umbrella in her hand, strode toward Xiao Mo with her hands on her hips, leaned forward and put her head in front of her, looking up and down. He also raised his nose and sniffed.

"That's right - that's right! That's what it tastes like!"

Xiao Mo was forced to tilt his head back by Alekira who came closer, "Isa, who is this guy? Why do you call me Darling... Doesn't Darling mean 'dear'?"

"That's right...she is Alekira, maybe she just recognized the wrong person."

"I've said it all right!" Alikila shouted dissatisfiedly from the side, "Darling and I are a match made in heaven, and we are in love! We have entangled each other's flesh and blood a hundred times! A hundred times!"

Catching a glimpse of Isabella holding hands with Xiao Mo, Alikira suddenly stopped talking, stepped forward and aggressively separated their hands, and then stood in the middle.

"That's right." Alekira nodded, then held Xiao Mo with one hand and Isabella with the other.

"As a talented girl, I can generously share the order with Isabella, but the location must be determined!"

"So they say you admitted your mistake..."

"Let's go! Where are we going to play today?" Alekira seemed to turn a deaf ear to Isabella's weak persuasion, grabbing their hands and running.

"Wait...wait!"

It turns out that only "idle people" like Alykira know the most interesting places in this city filled with monsters and monsters.

Pulled by Aliki, he made many twists and turns in alleys, various roads and secret doors, and finally his eyes lit up. The moment he walked out of the narrow tunnel, the bright light suddenly opened his eyes.
