Chapter 237: The Civilization of Time Continent

“Have you ever felt that this place is more than just the lair of the Fierce Wolf Dragon?”

After scraping the lair clean and converting all the excess resources into essence, Ashe, the eco-cleaning master, suddenly asked a peculiar question.

Sonya: “What are you trying to say?”

“Actually, I’ve been questioning the manufacturing machines in the Resource Point since last night. The strange construction of these ancient gadgets could frustrate any technical Sorcerer, but they couldn’t possibly have been made by Knowledge Creatures, right?”

Leaning on the hood of a sports car, Ashe showed no fear that a mechanism underneath him might spring a blade to kiss his feet: “Even the most dexterous Knowledge Creature’s claws can’t compare to an Ogre’s pinky finger used for picking its nose.”

“It’s not like they secretly play the piano, make music, and write in script with their claws when we’re not around, only to hide their tools the moment we show up, just to keep us from discovering their civilization?”

Deya also began to expand her thoughts: “Speaking of which, what do Knowledge Creatures do when we Sorcerers aren’t around?”

“There are no Entertainment facilities inside, and they don’t need to hunt, so the only thing they could be doing is... I get it, playing hide and seek!”

Ashe said: “Actually, it could also be inter...”

“Hey!” Sonya chopped at Ashe’s shoulder, “The Witch doesn’t have much experience interacting with others. Don’t spout lewd jokes in front of her!”

“Are you implying it’s okay to do so with you? Besides, I was going to say ‘interaction’. It’s your dirty mind that thought I’d have a dirty mind!”

“What’s a lewd joke?” Deya asked, her face brimming with curiosity.

Ashe questioned: “The White Queen and the Black Butler don’t know?”

“They don’t. We just have different personalities, but our knowledge is shared. What I don’t know, they won’t know either.” The Witch adjusted her glasses: “However, the White Queen said she might guess what it is and will explain it to me when we return to reality.”

“Who was it that just activated the ‘Sharpening Miracle’ and was ready to take on her companions?”

At that moment, Ashe noticed the Witch’s thoughtful expression and asked, “Do you have any clues?”

“No, I was just recalling that the basic configuration of an adventure team in fairy tales is two males and one female, with many types of love triangles, but typically the second male sacrifices himself, and the first male and female live happily ever after...” Deya said: “But we’re two females and one male, it doesn’t quite match up.”

The fairy tales you read are too diverse...

Ashe continued: “Also, if there really was a civilization, then apart from the Resource Points, there should be remnants of the old civilization on the Time Continent, right?”

Remnants!

The eyes of both the Swordswoman and the Witch lit up.

Whether in fairy tales or fantasy Shadow Dramas, the classic storyline of a lucky individual finding the legacy of a Senior Sorcerer or the ruins of an ancient organization, thus embarking on the path of becoming a Legend, is an evergreen plot. After all, the temptation of getting something for nothing is irresistible to everyone.

Although the civilization of Sorcerers generally spirals upward, with new-era Sorcerers being stronger than those from the old era, resources for Sorcerers are timeless. A spirit from ten thousand years ago or gold and silver from the same period are still valuable today. Even ancient Factions have the potential to sprout anew. It’s only the mindset that becomes outdated.

Moreover, since the Virtual Realm itself contains “Sorcerer Inheritance,” it would hardly surprise anyone if there were remnants of Sorcerers at the bottom of the Sea of Knowledge, let alone on the Time Continent.

Ashe looked at Sonya, who shook her head: “I haven’t found any related information. I can ask the Professor tomorrow, but don’t get your hopes up.”

“Why not? Did you finally get on the bad side of the Professor by being too arrogant?”

Sonya glared at him: “You... guessed right, halfway. But I haven’t been arrogant. The main issue is that I need to conceal my ventures into the Time Continent, so I can only inquire under the pretense of ‘pre-studying’ with the Professor.”

“Besides, I feel that perhaps even the Professor doesn’t know much about the secrets of the Time Continent.”
