The dark curtain wrapped the black count, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cramped stone room.
The room was dark, but not to the point of darkness. On the left wall, there was a wall candle covered by a white gauze curtain. The wall candle was still burning, and a few faint flames appeared from the holes in the gauze curtain.
With this little light, the black count could see the surrounding layout.
Wooden shelves with various articles for daily use; Desk, the desktop has several boxes; And where he was sitting at this time - the wooden bed with messy sheets.
There was still some heat on the bed, and it was obvious that he had slept on it not long ago.
No... it's not him. It's the lantern owner who still sleeps here.
The black count knew very well that at this time he was just himself in the past memory of the lantern owner. In other words, he was not the black count, but "dressed" into the body of the lantern owner in his memory.
Because there were no mirrors in the room, the black count could not see the appearance of the "Lantern owner", so he reached out and touched his face.
I want to build the appearance of the lantern owner in my heart by blind touch.
However, as soon as the black count touched his cheek, he found something wrong. The owner of the lantern wears a half face mask on his face. All the above his nose is covered by the mask. Except for the holes in his eyes, all the others are closed.
The black count tried to tear off the mask by force, but he only felt a sharp pain.
The mask seems to be burned on the face of the lantern owner. It is almost connected with the meat and cannot be removed at all.
Even if it is pulled out, it is only a blur of flesh and blood. It is basically difficult to confirm the face.
The black count thought for a while and gave up confirming the identity of the lantern owner for the time being. Instead, he was ready to turn around in this "memory" to see how big the area was.
And confirm why the lantern owner left this memory node.
It seems that the owner of the lantern left this memory node because there are some people or things in this node that he can deeply remember.
Just as the black count stood up and prepared to move, he heard the noise outside. It seems that many people came out of the room.
Hearing what was happening outside, count black had a guess in his heart: maybe the people outside were the reason why the lantern owner wanted to set the memory node at this moment.
Thinking of this, the black count stood up and came to the door.
He wanted to see who was outside through the hole above the gate.
However, before he could see what was going on outside, he was pierced by a scarlet beam of light from outside.
The first journey of time and space memory is over.
The black count, who returned to the groom's room, was in a trance for a long time before he recovered from the penetrating shadow of his brain.
So, in the past memory, the groom master also died like this?
No, I died... The groom's master was not dead. He must have survived. Otherwise, he could not have had this memory.
The black count sensed the time and confirmed that the time in his memory was the same as that in the outside world. Then he was relieved. Because he must leave here before the bell rings, or he will be completely lost. The time flow rate is consistent, so that he can estimate the current time more accurately.
Because he could not leave the groom's room, and the most valuable thing in the groom's room was the memory in the lantern, so the black count entered the memory of the lantern again.
This time, the black count did not sit in bed, but got up at the first time and wanted to open the door to see the situation outside. Before those people came, he could go out to hide in advance.
However, as soon as the black count opened the door, the familiar scarlet beam appeared again.
In the scarlet light, the black count seemed to be suppressed by a kind of supremacy and could not even move.
Die again.
Next, count black used various methods to test, and each time he ended up dead.
After dozens of deaths, the black count also summed up a little rule.
As long as he gets close to the gate, he will be pierced by the scarlet light beam.
Even if he is not close to the gate, the gate will be pushed open by people outside. At the moment of pushing open, the scarlet beam will still arrive as promised and shoot him to death.
Anyway, he will die anyway.
Either die early or two minutes later.
In a word, he can live in the room for two minutes at most, and will be killed by the scarlet light beam in the end.
But he didn't see who the scarlet light came from and what the people outside looked like
Black count "reincarnation" I do not know how many times, still can not see the outside situation. It was as if a mysterious law had stopped his eyes.
The black count also tried to use his ability to resist the scarlet light... Still not.
This body repels external energy. If you want to use your ability, you can only use the ability of this body.
But the black count knew nothing about the ability of the lantern owner. Even if he knew it, he might not know it. Therefore, in this space-time memory, he is like an ignorant person who is bound and blocked, and can only passively accept the outcome of death.
But the black count can be sure that the lantern owner was not dead in this experience. But the black count did not know what method he had used to survive.
The black count reincarnated several times in the memory of time and space. In the end, he was sure that he could not survive from the scarlet light... So the black count did not take the initiative to die.
Instead, he focused all his attention on the cramped room.
Maybe there's a secret passage in this room? So the lantern owner can escape?
After many times of reincarnation and searching, the black count has not found the secret road yet; However, he found a volume of letters in the box on the desktop.
The records are so dense that you can't read them all in a short time.
But it doesn't matter to count black. Anyway, he has two minutes of safe time for each reincarnation. He reads a paragraph every two minutes. A few two minutes add up to everything, and he can always finish it.
After ten times of reincarnation, the black count finally read all the contents of the letter.
The records are written in ancient Mies, a kind of extraordinary writing popular in the source world ten thousand years ago, which is characterized by the ability to express both meaning and appearance.
The black count has also studied, so there is no obstacle to reading.
The name of the letter is "records of hermice's cultivation". It tells all kinds of joys and sorrows encountered by a wizard who calls himself hermice in the process of cultivation, as well as notes on some difficulties in cultivation.
Just from some notes, it is a very common cultivation record.
But if you look at the content of Hermione's practice, you will find that this letter is unusual.
This homis... Is a time wizard.
To be exact, he is an apprentice in the time department. The practice records recorded in the records are also related to various time series abilities.
What we can know is that Holmes should have inheritance. He mentioned his mentor more than once in his notes; In addition, the letter also records a lot of time department abilities he obtained from his tutor.
For example: eyes of fifteen, Libra of second degree, continuous cutting, continuous cutting of time and space, recurrence of yesterday, etc.
These are all tricks of the time system.
However, homies did not record how to practice these time series tricks, but only his name and the problems he encountered in his practice.
In addition, Holmes also recorded many of his tutors' abilities, one of which was familiar to the black count.
This ability is described in Holmes' records as "miraculous skill".
It's just that it shouldn't be a miracle, but it seems that we can guess from this that hermice's mentor may be close to legend, or even a legendary wizard. Otherwise, homies should have said "legendary" rather than "miraculous".
The name of this technique is time memory.
According to homies' records, this technique allows people to do whatever they want in their memory.
This reminds the black count of the information obtained from the Lantern... The lantern has the ability to illuminate the sea of memory, reflect the scenes in memory, and do whatever he wants in memory.
This is exactly the same story.
Moreover, what is certain is that the information in the lantern should be left by the lantern owner.
If the room in the memory is also owned by the lantern owner, the lantern owner is probably Holmes.
It is impossible for Holmes to use the same words to describe different techniques. Therefore, the technique hidden in the lantern may be "time memory"?
The black count continued to rummage in his room after he finished reading the records of hermice's practice.
Unfortunately, no more valuable information was obtained.
I found a dark secret passage under a stone lattice at the bottom of the bed... It seems that the owner of the lantern escaped from here?
So the black count tried to enter the secret passage.
Unfortunately, every time the black count entered the secret passage, his memory would pop up.
It is not an automatic exit after death, but a forced exit by the lantern.
The black count was not stupid either. He soon guessed the answer: the secret path should be the boundary in the memory scene.
At first, the owner of the lantern escaped from the secret road.
He imitates this memory, is it just to escape again? impossible.
Since he had been able to escape, there was no need for him to simulate the situation in the secret way.
The focus of this memory scene is still the people outside the door and the scarlet light beam!
Perhaps the owner of the lantern imitated this memory just to break the scarlet light beam, or to find out the truth that he was chased and killed in those years?
The above is the brain tonic of count black.
But if his brain tonic is right, perhaps the outside scene should also be simulated.
In other words, this memory scene is not only as big as the cabin, but also can be visited outside. But the premise is that we can crack the scarlet light beam and solve the problem of outsiders.
Although the black count wanted to go outside to have a look, maybe there would be more opportunities outside, but the scarlet light beam could not be cracked by the black count at all. He could only stop here and had no choice but to quit the groom's room before ringing the bell.
……
The story of the black count is not only ups and downs, but also long.
The reason why I say so much is also a euphemistic expression: time is the hard won knowledge.
The black count can say the answer directly, but it will only make people feel cheap and even take it for granted.
The black count did not want to exchange knowledge for anything. He just wanted them to know that time is the treasure of knowledge.
The black count did not say these implied meanings clearly, but neither angel nor DOX could understand them.
"In the records of hermice's practice, it is mentioned that he cut even." Count Black: "although the continuous chopping here is the same as the skill of the blood side from the external performance, it is not the skill of the blood side, but the ability of the time system."
Although the count of Black said so, both DOX and angel were still confused. How do you do the continuous cutting of the time system? Why the time system?
Soon the black count gave the answer——
"In the eyes of blood side wizards, continuous chopping is a special skill that can only be released after the physique and blood gas reach the standard. It has high requirements for the physical heritage of wizards."
"But even beheading in the eyes of time wizards is another thing. It is a power intercepted from time."
It is recorded in the hands of Holmes that when attacking the enemy, it is possible to intercept an attack of the same level, energy level, quantity level and form from space and time.
"Intercept an attack of the same level, energy level, magnitude and form from space-time?" Dox repeated in a low voice, "although I don't know how to intercept power from time and space, it literally means to use magic consumption to replace the consumption of blood and gas, and perform continuous cutting?"
Count Black: "you can understand that."
Dox murmured softly: "no wonder ex had done so easily before. It turned out that it was just a matter of consuming a little magic."
It's too easy for DOX to consume magic to cast continuous slashes. Their blood side wants to learn continuous cutting, which is a pile of details, and has practical requirements for their physique! Moreover, even if you reach the standard, you may not be able to display it. It also requires certain talents.
And time is a wizard. It can be released with a wave... It's simply unfair.
The black count seemed to see DOX's resentment and said faintly, "the continuous cutting of the time system is not as simple as you think. He has very strict restrictions."
"In other words, all time series abilities have extreme restrictions. If you don't meet the corresponding conditions, you can't cast them... Even if you cast them, there is a certain probability that they will be backfired."
"There are four restrictions on the continuous cutting of the time system."
First, we must be within five meters of the enemy.
This limits the range of attack.
Second, the attacks intercepted in time and space cannot be carried in the void, so there must be a constant material bearing.
This sentence means to use weapons to "close in" attack the enemy.
Third, weapons are easy to be damaged because they need to carry the power of time and space. Special solid weapons need to be customized.
Fourth, there is an upper limit on the attack magnitude of continuous chopping. If it leads to space instability, it cannot be achieved.
That is to say, if a single space Department wizard wants to use the overkill, he must learn how to stabilize the space. In other words, arrange a prop that can stabilize the space in advance. Otherwise, you will not be able to cast.
The above four points must be met at the same time to release the continuous chop.
Not to mention the difficulty of these four restrictions, just because it forces a wizard who could have attacked from a long distance to go to melee like a blood side wizard, it is enough to see how strict the conditions for releasing the continuous slash are.
