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

Gresta waved her hand, then immediately came up again and asked mysteriously: "By the way, where is this place? I haven't been out to play in a long time."

, not to mention that I happened to meet Isabella this time. Can you take me around? "

Listening to this tone, it seems that Gresta has not sneaked out from the Durunoi continent before.

"Teacher... I remember that you were in the Ultramarine Forest to reflect on yourself, right?"

"Hey~ Even in prison, you have to have time to relax. It's so boring to be alone! How about introducing each other?" Gresta greeted Alykira and Xiao Mo who were standing aside.

"I really like this kind of gathering of girlfriends. We get together in pajamas and chat in bed at night! It's been hundreds of years since we've seen each other."

With a wave of the magic wand, the witch robe on Gresta turned into a nightgown, and the witch hat disappeared.

"Then, what's your name?" Gresta was the first to look at Alekira. After all, half of her face was covered by a metal mask and she was the most unique among the others with one eye.

"Alekira."

"Where are you from, what race are you, how old are you? What are your hobbies?" followed by a series of questions, which can be regarded as a model of household registration cross-examination.

"Keep it secret." Alekira only used two words to slap Gresta back.

"What about this little sister... She's so cute, but she looks a lot like Bubbles?" Gresta didn't pay attention to Alikila's attitude and directed the conversation to Xiao Mo.

"Well...it's a long story." Isabella then began to explain the origin of Xiao Mo to Gresta, and said that although she was pulled here by Alekira involuntarily this time, And thus found a solution to the problem.

.....

"I see, this is your husband's clone."

"If you say that...it's true..."

"Your name is Xiao Mo, right?"

Xiao Mo nodded.

Gresta held her chin and looked at Xiao Mo carefully for a long time, then turned her head and said, "I'm still interested in the old lover you mentioned about Leticia!"

Leticia: "Ah!"

Celetis: "Don't cue when you're busy."

"I don't think there's anything to say... I failed to express my love."

Isabella smiled awkwardly and politely.

Then she remembered something, and Isabella quickly took out the two parchment rolls she had put away.

"By the way, this is the solution, but I can't understand it. Teacher, do you recognize such words?"

"Oh? Let me see..."

Gresta took the parchment and unfolded it, looked at it for a while and then shook her head.

"I can't understand it either. This seems to be a very ancient writing system. Although I have read many books, I only know what writing it is."

"What?"

"This should be a civilization about six thousand years ago, and it does not belong to the Durunoy continent. To be honest, I saw this kind of writing from the Book of Forbidden Times."

Forbidden book! ?

Isabella is clear about the classification of the Forbidden Book. As long as it involves mental interference magic, conjuration and magical enchantment, it can be collectively referred to as the Forbidden Book.

Consciousness and spirit are linked to the soul, which means that all forbidden books must be related to the study of soul.

Celetis is obviously a master of soul science.

"I remember the author of that book is..." Gresta nodded her forehead and thought hard for a while, "It should be called Celetis L. Vitaledi, yes, that's the name. "

"You have such a good memory..." Isabella sighed.

There is a high probability that this name is the same person as the Celetis he knew. Unexpectedly, the clues were broken through by Glesta.

Gresta shook her head and said: "It's nothing. After all, I'm still young. I'm not even a thousand years old yet. I still have a good memory!"

"..."

Chapter 22 The game is about to continue!

The advice given by Gresta was to put this thing away and take it back to Letitia to see. She must know what is written in it.

Immediately afterwards, this matter was forgotten, and Gresta forced a few people to talk about other things.

Isabella can understand that it is really difficult for Gresta, who has been living alone in the witch's house, to find someone to talk to. This meeting is also an unexpected fate, and she can meet Gresta's teacher Isa. Bella herself was actually quite happy.

So this time, there was one more tenant accompanying Alekira.

There are still two days and one night before Alikira is expected to leave. Excluding tonight, Gresta knows that this is a flea market where you can buy anything. She is eager to go out and go shopping early tomorrow morning.

But the late-night tea party did not affect her plan, and they were still led to chat until late...

During this period, Alykira's attitude towards Gresta suddenly changed after she explained that she had destroyed an entire continent and cast all sequences of forbidden magic.

But most of the reason, in Isabella's opinion, is that she can fight Leticia face-to-face, and Alikira thinks she is handsome.

After Isabella yawned for the twenty-fourth time, Gresta finally glanced at the time on the wall clock behind her and lovingly rubbed Isabella’s sleepy head in her arms. "It's getting late, let's talk tomorrow."

"Ah, okay..."

"Good night, everyone." Aliki pulled off the hair bow tied with a ponytail, stretched hard, and put her face

He took off his mask and fell into bed.

Eh! ? Can that thing still be taken off?

The disheveled hair covered the upper half of Alikira's face, and Isabella, who was in a daze, could not see clearly. Immediately, sleep swept over her and she fell into a deep sleep.

Originally, Isabella would not sleep in such a place without any defense.

But no matter what...I was being held in Gresta's arms and insisted on sleeping on the same bed with her.

Gresta's arms were warm, and she could hear her steady heartbeat, which also gave Isabella an endless sense of peace of mind, so that she could sleep peacefully after a hard day's work.

The lights went out, and in the pitch-black environment, only the ticking sound of the clock's second hand echoed...

————————————

As if he had read all the stories in it, Cheng Rang slowly closed the book. He took a deep breath and looked up at Leticia in front of him.

This time, he walked through chaos and became clear at the end of truth.

The two volumes of "Cause and Price" have been read so far.

Walking with death, Cheng Rang could not count how many times he opened his eyes on the ground until he turned the last page and he no longer lost consciousness.

The step-by-step learning process was made longer and easier to absorb by Leticia.

"Congratulations, you are finally qualified to learn the Time Spell." Leticia nodded to him.

Time elapsed at the training ground: 89 days. Time passes on a ratio of one to thirty.

After 89 days without eating, drinking or sleeping, the basic rest time was only ten minutes apart. After such hard continuous study again, Cheng Rang obviously had a more thorough understanding of cause and effect.

At the same time, we also have a clearer understanding of the “cost” aspect.

Leticia's time spell casting was actually a loophole. She made full use of her "not dying" feature to convert all the varying degrees of price required for the time spell into "life".

Sounds familiar.

Yes, a paradox.

Time is continuous, or time is discontinuous, just like when you shoot an arrow, during this period of time, the arrow keeps flying forward, and it is moving at this time. If time is completely stopped, then the flying arrow at a single moment will remain motionless in the air. Switching to the next moment, the arrow at this single moment will still be stationary. In short - the flying arrow will not move.

So is the movement of the arrow related to time? Is the arrow stationary at a single moment moving or stationary?

In fact, the fact that the arrow is not moving at every moment does not mean that it is stationary. Movement is not about what happens in a moment, but about what happens between moments. If an object is in the same position at adjacent moments, then we say it is at rest, otherwise it is said to be in motion.

But under the influence of the time curse, Fei Ya can indeed remain motionless.

That is, between two adjacent moments, although the flying arrow has flown a certain distance, it is still at the same place.

This is what can be achieved by [Cut], [Edit], and [Split] the timeline and timeline.

Time is like this, and so is cause and effect.

However, explaining theoretical knowledge is ultimately complicated, and it is clearer to conduct practical demonstrations.

Leticia took a stone and smashed it on the ground. Cheng Rang witnessed the whole process.

"Now, recover."

Following Leticia's command, the spell energy began to flow in Cheng Rang's body, and dazzling golden light flashed out from the sealed hands.

The release system of Time Mantra is completely different from that of Lin Mantra and Brahma Mantra. To be precise, the experience of releasing the spells in the other two weeks cannot be reused on the time spell.

"First: [Capture]."

Carve the law into the spell, capture and extract the cause and effect of the released object and its timeline. For example, if you use a mobile phone to record the process of Leticia breaking the stone, then the next step is to select the video file on the computer.

"Step 2, [Expand]"

That is to open the video file.

During this period, the process of the stone being broken into pieces was played repeatedly in front of Cheng Rang.

In general, according to the most abstract metaphor, the process of releasing a time spell to repair an object is very similar to video editing, but it is very different from video editing.

"Step Three, [Analysis Reset]"

Cheng Rang's spirit explored the gravel wrapped in a faint golden halo. At the moment of "touch", the golden spell light turned into a bright green, which signaled that Cheng Rang was about to start intervening in the gravel. 【cause and effect】.

Cut off the cause and effect and turn the time axis backwards, then you will get this stone that has been restored from fragmentation to a complete stone, and it has "never been fragmented"

"The penultimate step: [Interference]"

That is, prefabricated modifications are affected and mapped into reality, commonly known as "save".

"The last step - pay the price of modifying the cause and effect."

As if the magic power that was as flexible as hands and feet betrayed Cheng Rang in an instant, it began to surge back like a storm. They seemed to aimlessly and unstoppably "take away" a part of Cheng Rang.

As for which part -

Before practicing the time mantra, people who are not able to understand cause and effect and cost may take away a lot of things due to the price.

However, the purpose of the time curse is to guide you as to which part you want to be taken away as a price.

Of course, it doesn't cost much to modify a ubiquitous stone block and restore it from fragmentation.

After all, it is a dead thing without a soul or life.

No matter how valuable it is, like some unparalleled jade carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, in the definition of Time Curse, it is all dead.

The causal cost of going back to the dead is minimal, whatever that may be.

The spell was running, and the surging energy was guided by Cheng Rang, and then at the cost of having part of the spell power taken away.

The bright green light dissipated, and the stone lay quietly on the ground, intact.

Mantra energy is born from the spirit. The spirit is the reflection of the soul. There are many kinds of "characters" in the human soul.

Those unswerving characters, in the words of Celetis, the master of soul science——

"That is something more precious than gold."

Although gold is still a dead thing that is not worth much price under the definition of Time Curse, for a universe, the total amount of gold that is generally constant is the standard that proves a large part of its value.

Leticia picked up the stone that Cheng Rang had restored and looked at it carefully. A smile finally appeared on her stern face.

"Congratulations, you succeeded."

Cheng Rang took the stone handed over by Leticia and grinned.

"How about it, am I a genius?"

"It's still far from enough. Do you know how long it took you to restore this stone?"

"Ah? Isn't it a few seconds?"

Leticia rolled her eyes, took out her phone and tapped it a few times.

"Three whole days! Three days!"
