Chapter 50 The Mystery of Time

Professor Garcia really seems to be lecturing at the moment, Shade thought Maybe you should turn the gas light up a bit to make it more like a classroom:

"The rules about the time key are covered in your "Time Traveling Theoretical Fundamentals" course. Also, don't Worry about any troubles caused by time travel, our world is not as fragile as you think, and mortals are not as strong as they think. In a world where thoughts can affect matter, the world itself is the most powerful. Now, please from water Take the key out of the basin."

He solved all of Shade's questions in one sentence, probably every student who's time-traveling for the first time will have similar questions.

"Water basin?"

Shade looked towards the shining water basin, squatted down and put his hand into the warm water for some reason, and then really took out a key.

It was a wooden key, not even as small as Shade's thumb. The flat keys have a normal shape, with teeth on one side and very smooth on the other. The wood grain on the surface of the key is unusually obvious. After carefully rubbing it, I found a line of characters that were not the size of a grain of rice.

Although I learned a lesson from the [Dark Box] last time, it is obviously safe this time. Therefore, Shade once again exerted his translation innate talent and interpreted it as:

[The World Tree blesses you in time. ]

“World Tree?”

Shade was surprised, but didn’t show much expression on the surface.

"Academy has several ways to transmit [relics], and the poet's manuscript is the most basic one. Although the method currently used is expensive, it is safer, and the level of objects that can be transmitted is higher. "

Professor Garcia still seems to be lecturing:

"The [Time Key] is graded from Poet (Level 5) to Agnostic (Level 0). The god of the past [Father of the Infinite Tree]. Because this is just a course teaching, this time the poet-level [Time Key] is provided."

The professor did not use the title "Old God", but It was the vague "God of the Past," which caught Shade's attention.

"What do you know about this God?"

The pointed-eared professor asked.

"Only know the name."

"[Father of the Infinite Tree] is a very special deity, the special thing is that he is also a World Tree himself."

Shade's surprise at the moment might have been more sincere if Professor Garcia could have said before Shade deciphered the nick on the key.

"For the World Tree, you don't need to know about it for the time being. As for using the key, align it with the keyhole of any sect, turn it and push the door, and you can go to the past time point. Every key , you can know the corresponding time before opening, the trick is to put the key under the pillow to sleep, and the information left by [Father of the Infinite Tree] in the key will be displayed in the dream. We search for the old god according to the age corresponding to the information The level of the key is determined by the major event of the The wood grain on the surface of the key.

The chaotic era of the fourth era is too dangerous. The keys of the first three eras are strictly prohibited from using the ring warlock below the 9th ring, so this key can only be used in the fifth era.

"The fall of 1068 of the Fifth Age. The time point corresponding to each key must be related to the old gods. Therefore, the historical academy will be proficient in the [Blasphemy] element, because only the historical academy has the opportunity to be in the Without touching the existing Evil God itself, get the silver [Blasphemy] element safely."

Shade doesn't think it's safe to travel through time at all.

"We are time transmigrators, investigators. Entering past time, you cannot carry any item with extraordinary power, even if you want to bring it, it will fall before you step into the opened 'door' Down."

Professor Garcia looked towards Shade, Shade hurriedly shook his head and said he didn't have it now. Whether it is the blood-sucking ring or the twenty-sided dice of fate, they are all placed in the study.

"Going into the past time point, there will be a lot of white fog in our field of vision. The 'other me' will also give him hints of the time point and event information obtained from the dead god's relic key .

The white fog will not dissipate during the entire investigation period. The investigator can only move to the position without the white fog to witness what happened. During this period, as long as they do not actively contact the past, no one will pay attention. To you. We are investigators, witnessing and recording events from the past, and bringing them back to fill in the missing pre-epoch history."

"You mean, we're actually going to see realistic Electric opera?"

Shade gave an example.

"It's a good metaphor."

Professor Garcia finally had a smile on his face. Although this professor with pointed ears looked stern, he was very nice:
"In a very small chance, the fallen [Father of the Infinite Tree] will issue you some tasks, but the probability is negligible. Then Mr. Hamilton, let's start now."

"Now?"

Shade swallowed and looked towards the bedroom door. Mia was probably tired, so the sound of claws scratching the door has not been heard for a long time.

"Do you have anything else to prepare for? Oh, don't worry, each open time will allow you to stay for up to 3 hours. And when you return to the correct time, it will only appear in the 3 seconds after disappearing."

"I mean is it too sloppy, this kind of thing"

Shade thought the instructor would give some systematic training, didn't t expect is just such a simple introduction.

"The ring warlock depends on yourself, of course, but also on the 'other me', but you can't rely on others. You don't have to take a pen and paper to record, any matter that you bring to the past time and space will be in you Return to the original state when you return. Even if you really have the ability to intervene in the past, it will only be a small ripple in the long river of time, don't underestimate time and the world."

"Well then, Professor Garcia ."

He stood up and walked to the bedroom door, letting the light of the brass-colored gas lamps on the side walls shine over his head and shoulders.

The small key is aligned with the keyhole, didn't expect to just insert it, but the two obviously do not match.

"Remember, chant mantras as you turn, in any language - World Tree bless me in time.

See you in three seconds, Mr. Hamilton. Please relax, the Academy has specially investigated, in 1068 of the Fifth Age, nothing dangerous has happened, it is very safe. Please cherish your first time journey, it will be a memorable and interesting journey."

"Okay, see you in three seconds, Professor Garcia."

Shade, who was uneasy, turned the wooden key in his hand gently, and said:

p>

"May the World Tree bless me in time."

There was a clicking sound, but it was obvious that the door lock of my bedroom had no probability of making such a sound.

Shade took a deep breath and finally opened the door.

But behind the door is not the tired orange cat Mia and the bedroom. The silky white mist slowly creeps behind the door frame, and behind the door is a foggy door covered with hazy white mist.

He swallowed and heard Professor Garcia's encouragement again, thinking about the cat in his heart, and then walked in bravely.
