I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

The unfallen clouds turned into frost, the solemn palace was dyed the color of snow, and everything was silent, except for the glistening white.

——As if it was just a moment, the intersection of the two worlds became like this.

This is a temporary seal.

The king is gone, and until they find a way to solve the trouble that may cause unnecessary danger, the illusion of the holy city will always stand here in this pure and peaceful posture.

"I came here because there was a very strange mutation in the desert area directly above the dungeon," Jin added.

"All organisms, including plants, animals, insects, etc., seem to lose their aging in a strange way-in fact, it is a sign of metabolism. Let's put it this way, all organisms that can maintain a stable state are all too stable."

"To use some of the most intuitive metaphors, here, after a few months, the plants in the desert will neither grow nor wither, and the size of the animals that can be seen remains the same. The beasts at the front of the food chain no longer hunt and are weak. creatures no longer eat."

"According to observations, they have lost the instinct of reproduction and survival, and the most common natural selection in nature also fails here..."

Although it seems a little too late to say this now, at least Kim has made all his findings clear.

The surface that has obviously been affected by this 'holy city' is like a transparent cover.

All the living things covered in it have directly changed the "rules" of their existence.

In layman's terms, that is——

The life located here is approximately equivalent to [time] being stagnant and [desire] being weakened.

Perhaps, this is the embodiment of biological evolution?

A bit like.

But according to the man's extremely precise intuition, he believes that things are not that simple, and there must be secrets that cannot be fully seen by the naked eye...

Kim: "Huh? Ask me how I found something wrong? Well, because while hanging out here, I haven't shaved in a week and my beard hasn't grown at all—"

"... Can this be counted!"

Closer to home.

The external changes are related to the "Camelo" that shouldn't exist here. This is a certain fact.

But now, they can't continue to delve into it for the time being.

Because "Camero" has been completely frozen.

Everyone present could clearly sense that as the ice crystals condensed, some kind of invisible scattered energy was also sealed together and disappeared all of a sudden.

At least there is no need to entangle before unblocking again here.

"After going out here, I'm not in a hurry to go back, I want to see more around here... That's what I said."

The man who was disliked by the elder brother spoke abruptly again: "I'm not in a hurry, aren't you in a hurry?"

"..."

"Didn't Brother Eric say before that you have something urgent to go back before nine o'clock the next morning?"

"........."

"Aren't you coming back? I thought you two were going to bring the eldest sister's head to the Hunter's Association. If that's the case, you can also help me bring it to the president..."

"Damn, you didn't tell me sooner!"

In Jin's background sound of "hahaha, no one told me that I should ask earlier", Eric finally remembered the "big event" he had forgotten.

The presence of the Holy Lance and the Goddess is too clear, and the memories of the past are "caused", most of his attention is robbed, and he almost forgot about a certain business.

The agreement with the president of the Hunter Association is also called a transaction!

Not only to help Kim Fulishi solve the plight of the ruins, but also to rush back to the association before nine o'clock the next morning.

These two conditions are indispensable and must be met.Especially for the latter, it is only a prerequisite to help solve the problem of the ruins. If you can’t rush back in time at the appointed time, the previous step is no use no matter how perfect it is.

Now the trouble [tentatively] is resolved, and I can leave with peace of mind.

Then, there is only one last condition left.

……

"what time is it now???!!"

An unimportant thing like the concept of time...well, it is actually a very important thing!It has long been forgotten to the horizon.

It doesn't matter what the heartless little brother laughed and said, the important thing is that when Brother Eric heard it, he became anxious——

The strange door connecting the two worlds reappeared, but it couldn't last long in the noble aura before it was kicked open by an impatient person.

"Boom!"

This voice is really loud, and it can shake the hearts of those who are caught off guard.

Fortunately, his own city gate was treated like this. The reserved and indifferent King Arthur was still the same, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows.

There are shadows belonging to the outside world looming outside the door.

That's right, there is "light" in the illusory capital, and "darkness" outside.

For stepping out of this extraordinary door, the blond Wang seemed to be hesitant.This can be seen from the fact that she walked slowly at the end, did not take the initiative to step forward, and just quietly watched other people talking.

Arturia should not be affected by the hurried tone when faced with the urging of "Go, go!"

She should calmly ask a few more questions, such as the purpose of the silver-haired boy's trip - and of course the destination.

However, the speed at which it actually happened was too fast to react.

"E..."

Just uttering this one word, Artoria was slightly stunned when the silver-haired boy who took the lead grabbed her wrist.

"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you talking about! Don't tell me it's already a few days later! Tsk damn it, if I knew it, I would have—"

Shah.

The strong wind that can fascinate people's eyes swept over again, and immediately covered the figure that was still clear before.

original……

Turning around suddenly, when their figures reappeared, they had already disappeared into the yellow sand that was completely different from the snow-white holy city.

"..."

Because the Phantom Camelot is underground, the original underground ruins collapsed when they entered, so they were directly buried in sand after they came out—isn’t it normal!

Of course, he didn't fall to the point of being choked on.

The loud bang also appeared in the vast desert that was originally lifeless under the hot sun, and the center of the desert exploded like a tornado of shocking dust.

The yellow sand scattered like rain, and in the huge depression that appeared out of thin air, several familiar figures appeared.

This loud noise is like a special existence that cannot be ignored, making a majestic announcement to the world, and the world must listen to him...

"So what time is it! Aren't you a magician, can't you take a look with your supposedly useful eyes?!"

"Although I was finally remembered——I am a clairvoyance anyway, it seems so out of style to say that!"

……Um? !

Human beings who thought it was a big deal but were actually a bit of an idiot looked up at the sky for some reason.

The sun hangs high, and the light shines on the body, causing stinging pain like needle pricks.

Logically speaking, nothing can be seen. After all, the desert is located on the edge of the continent more than one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Hunter Association.

However, a white figure in "Fool" only took one look, and then showed a dazed expression quite decently:

"Okay! It's not even nine o'clock yet!"

Before he could finish telling what time it was, the short man who was so anxious that he was almost on fire flickered, and immediately decided: "Even if it's only a few seconds away, it's enough! Okay, go back!"

Swah——

"Brother Eric?"

Jin's belated call came from the depths of the depression at this time.

The results are obvious.

In the original place - including the entire desert area with a radius of a hundred miles around the depression, he is the only one here.

Jin: "Run so fast! It's really - it's you guys!"

"I wanted to show you this thing."

As he said that, Jin, who showed a regretful smile, lowered his head and looked at the little thing held in the palm of his right hand.

After only watching for a while, the man's smile faded and his expression became serious.

"Forget it, they will come back anyway. Let me continue to explore until they come again."

He clenched his five fingers again, and carefully put the thing he picked up from the holy city by accident into his pocket.
