How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

The room is full, there are no windows, and the ceiling is used for lighting-the same starry sky, but here is a slowly flowing galaxy.

The four walls of the room are covered with reddish-brown wooden shelves, and there are hourglasses on the shelves, large and small, and there are hundreds of them at a glance. The largest of them needs to look up to see the top, while the small ones only have fingers The milky white fine sand flows down at different speeds in their respective containers, and the moment you step into the door, your ears will be filled with the subtle "rustling" sound from all around.

"This used to be my favorite room." Aldrihiger looked around at the high and low hourglasses, with a strange nostalgia in his eyes: "You already know my details, so there is nothing to hide, um... In a sense, I have traveled the whole continent and done many interesting things, but the time is too long - always find something more interesting to do, such as talking to these charming hourglasses."

"Their noises make me uncomfortable."

"Stay here a long time—you'll get used to it, I call it 'The Voice of Destiny.'"

Lin Wei gently flipped an hourglass in front of him and turned it over.

He felt that seeing an hourglass and turning it upside down was a normal human involuntary action, and there was nothing to blame-but at the moment when the fine sand began to flow in reverse, there was a momentary "rustling" sound in the room. The stagnation, followed by an astonishing scene:

Without anyone to move it, an hourglass right above it flipped over spontaneously and slowly, and then this movement began to spread——in the end, almost all the hourglasses were shaking, and the highest hourglass creaked on a rotating shaft, and the behemoth turned a full circle. The semicircle almost pressed Lin Wei under it. When the thousands of hourglasses stopped turning, only sporadic ones were still moving, and the sound returned to normal after a long time.

"You have already discovered the fun of it...I cast a little magic here." Adrihiger stood behind Lin Wei, who was taller than Lin Wei, bent slightly, and put His chin rested on Lin Wei's shoulder, and his arms tried to wrap around his shoulders.

This action was too intimate, and Lin Wei didn't think that he had any friendship worth mentioning with such a person with a complicated background, so he frowned and pushed his arm away.

"When I see a young and lively magician, I can't help but want to get close to it—I hope you don't define it as an offense." Adrichig sighed.

Lin Wei didn't have any intention of having such a meaningless conversation with him, and said in a blunt tone, "Continue to talk about magic."

"Yes, magic... I connected all the hourglasses, and they follow the rules I set up," Adrichig picked up a small hourglass, and pointed to the largest one: "For example, when When it runs out, this one in my hand will flip over."

He looked at the two side-by-side hourglasses that rotated frequently: "Look at those two, the weight of sand that has not flowed from one of them must remain the same as that of the sand that has flowed from the other."

"It took me a long, long time... probably the time of the two tower masters to establish the most perfect law without any mistakes. After this law is established, all the flows will be completed by themselves, and the flow will never stop. Going forward, if one hourglass is disturbed, all the flows will be affected, and they will eventually recover after a period of busy confusion."

"The one you messed up is not the most critical one - I have flipped them one by one, and the second longest mess lasted 30 years."

Lin Wei met his eyes as if he was looking at his favorite plaything, and felt that this person was talking about an hourglass, not just an hourglass.

"As for the longest chaos, I don't know how long it will last. After waiting for a long, long time, I thought, maybe there is really a loophole in my law, and the hourglasses can't find their way back to the right track anyway. I felt sad, fell into despair, and finally simply removed the magic and re-empowered them, and then they returned to normal."

Adrihiger was depressed, like an aggrieved child, with a muffled voice: "Since then, I haven't liked it very much."

Lin Wei suddenly felt a little pitiful for this man.

Infinite time has forced him into an unfathomable and eccentric kid.

Adrihiger touched him with his elbow: "Seriously, do you want to consider learning the great prophecy from me? You psychics are uniquely talented in this kind of thing, and Adele's great prophecy is very good .”

Lin Wei couldn't quite understand his jumping thinking. The temptation that fell from the sky was indeed huge, but he thought for a while, and still refused: "But I really don't have more time to learn other things."

The contract book and the magic circle filled up his time, so that he didn't even have much time for the summoning contract of his job. He hadn't taken the initiative to find Teacher Adele for several days.

"I know," Adrich Gwen looked at him gently: "The contract will make you feel that you are very stupid, you are still greedily learning something about elemental magicians, and the rest of the time is spent by confusion, Fill your head and heart with worries and wild thoughts and sweet love."

When he said this, he looked like a loving elder, but the content of the words was really shocking. Lin Wei felt that his past and present had been thoroughly turned over from head to toe, and he was picked and picked out one by one. Orderly rows.

"But it's useless to refuse." Adrihiger blinked: "Just now I have taught you the first and most core things of the Great Prophecy."

Lin Wei shook his head in confusion.

"Time, space, fate, rules, everything you want to know and what you don't want to know are all displayed in this house—don't you understand?"

Lin Wei nodded.

Adrihiger pressed his forehead helplessly: "Stupid kid-this house is given to you, you have enough time to think about these issues slowly."

Lin Wei stared blankly at the hourglass, and recalled what Adrihiger called him all the way here, downgraded from "little guy" to "little thing", and now he has become "stupid brat".

At the same time, he also learned some amazing truths, received the temptation from the great prophecy, and finally had a room full of hourglasses in the Astrologer's Tower.

Aldrihiger stood with him for a while, then opened the door lightly, planning to go out.

"Wait a minute." Lin Wei stopped him: "You haven't answered the first question yet."

"Don't think about the most perfect answer, but insist on a superficial answer," Adrisig clicked his tongue, and answered him angrily: "Of course—since there is space magic, there may not be time Magic, jumping from one time to another like changing from one place to another, unfortunately it is as difficult as an ant trying to turn the biggest hourglass."

When he stepped out of the door, Lin Wei stopped him again: "Hello."

"how?"

"Why are you telling me these things?"

Adrihiger leaned half on the door frame: "Just kidding."

Lin Wei: "..."

He felt that if Katanafia had the ability to predict the future, knowing that the weird bard had become what he is now, she might not help him escape the goddess of light...

Well, there is one thing to be thankful for, this person can at least confirm that he is on Katanafea's side, and has a hostile relationship with other gods.

He was bored and continued to stare at the hourglass that was constantly flowing and turned over occasionally. After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened again. He turned around and found that the person who came was not Adrihiger, but Juanyu.

Lin Wei: "Schneider asked you to come here?"

"He has something for you."

"—what?"

"He said that in the next few days, he is going to visit old friends in the floating capital. Don't leave here easily. There are bad people outside."

Lin Wei: "...is there any more?"

"Tell that little thing, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, it will go crazy."

Lin Wei gritted his teeth: "Old stuff."

Declare: "Old?"

"That's right!" Lin Wei finally said angrily: "He knows everything! We came here kindly to tell them what happened outside, but he—"

"He is the damn Aisa Ives, the owner of the tower from the first generation to the present, the author of the first volume of the "Time Handbook" full of lies, and the person whose name is written on the shipwreck register——I have no doubt that the Valley of Elements was built And the sunken ship on the bottom of the sea, those magic circles... He has participated in every one of them!"

After he said this, he felt a little tired like a popped bubble: "This kind of amazing person is still alive, so there is nothing for us—we can fly back to the academy right away and learn our own magic circle obediently." , Let him deal with those gods who crawl out of nowhere."

Duanyu didn't answer, and he didn't speak until Lin Wei's eyes clearly conveyed the meaning of "wanting to get a response".

"He also said a word, 'If that little thing wants to pile up some tricky things on me, tell him-don't dream, my strength has not improved in these years, and I can hide in the tower in front of the gods There's no other way until death'."

Lin Wei was furious and wanted to pounce on the imperial edict and bite off: "Is there anything else—not even a single word!"

Declared: "... yes."

Lin Wei ground his teeth: "Say."

"When you finish telling this, that little guy is already very angry—fortunately, I have prayed to the goddess in advance so that he will not be angry to death, so he is not very angry yet, if you are willing to hug him, He'll get better right away and be very grateful to me."

Lin Wei went through some mental struggles, and finally stood in front of the judgment: "Then you haven't come yet..."

After being soothed successfully, Lin Wei admitted, although he was a little reluctant: "Well, I really want to thank him a little bit."

He looked at the sentence: "Do you know how you got here? The entire Valley of Sharp Gold, and your family."

"He answered my three questions, and I used one of these three questions to trick me into some truths about the end of the Dark Ages... Of course, I guessed part of it myself."

"He was looking for the Goddess - the war between the gods, whatever the outcome of the other gods, the Dark Goddess Katanafia was lost, and, as we talked about in the swamp many days ago, there was a real There used to be dark elements, but they disappeared with the goddess, maybe they were taken away by her. The elements originally coexisted harmoniously, but one important thing was missing. They could no longer find each other’s balance and fell into a chaotic elemental storm. .”

"In order to calm the elemental storm, people tried to add another element to re-establish the balance, but it required too much power... They got the help of the Longinus Lance, the Holy Lance sacrificed half of their Gold, which is similar in nature, becomes one of the main elements."

"But I guess the situation didn't get better, because he said it was a failed attempt, and only when this attempt failed, did the magicians finally make up their minds to give up the environment rich in elements, in exchange for the establishment of the Valley of Elements." The magical ones continue to live."

When Lin Wei said this, he was suddenly taken aback.

The dark elements disappeared, falling into chaos, the valley of elements was established, and calm was restored—it was somewhat similar to the flipping and stopping of an hourglass.

Adrihiger says this house is everything—what else is he trying to tell himself?
