Don Quixote stood at the entrance of the cave with a puzzled look on his face. The cave he was in faced east to west, so when he saw that there was still a little bit of sand left in the Sword of Time, he was ready to go outside the cave to take a look.
, bet your luck, will you find a bald guy outside or something? If he is also affected by the time-stopping spell, just kill him with a sword, and you won't have so many worries in the future!
But apparently Don Quixote's luck seemed to have run out in that adventure. He did not find the suspicious bald head, but found that the sun in the sky had not moved at all and was still as it was at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Don Quixote believed that his memory was absolutely infallible. He clearly remembered that before the ascetic appeared, he had used spiritual power to observe the main city of Zemas from a distance, and the sun was in that position at that time!
But after experiencing a dream and staying in the sea of consciousness for so long, the time in the outside world almost didn't flow. There are only two explanations for this. First, the goddess of time stopped the time of the entire world because of her. Obviously, this
It's impossible!
The goddess of time cannot stop the time of the entire world because of one person, even if that person is her son! I am afraid that even the gods will find it difficult to bear that high price! And according to Don Quixote's speculation, it has been known as
Although the fallen goddess of time is not dead, she probably won’t have that powerful power anymore!
So the only explanation is that time in the outside world is still passing normally, just like the ascetic, who is still on the way here, and the time in the cave has been temporarily stopped, just like Kai next to him
You are still motionless under the influence of some magical force! But your time has been slowed down, or to be precise, it should be lengthened!
Just like the feeling of one day in heaven and one year on earth recorded in Journey to the West, for Don Quixote, it seemed that he had stayed in the sea of consciousness for at least two or three days, but in fact, compared to the outside world, time may only
Only one second passed.
In other words, when the ascetic raised one foot, he was still a junior mage who was willing to be eaten by mermaids, and when the big bald man put down his foot, he was already a mage of the ring. Although this ring
The mage has no spell slots yet, and he is not very good at using huge psychic powers!
Of course, Don Quixote was also very interested in the so-called method of lengthening time. However, this was a magical technique used by gods, and he had no chance to learn it!
"Dip~"
A soft voice that was almost impossible to be heard told Don Quixote that the last drop of the Sands of Time finally dripped down, and time in this area finally resumed its flow!
"Kyle, Kyle?" Although time has resumed its flow, but for some reason, the dumb woman in front of her didn't seem to want to move, she just looked at herself blankly, and Don Quixote called her.
After two calls, she woke up, but she still felt like she was half a beat slower, and she still looked at him blankly.
"What's wrong?" Don Quixote came over and squatted in front of Kyle, reached out and patted her head, "Are you stupid?"
"Bang!" The answer was a pink fist, hitting Don Quixote's forehead. Don Quixote, who had no intention of avoiding, was knocked to the ground by the fist, and then Kyle picked it up with a red face.
The Sword of Time on the ground ran towards the depths of the cave.
"He actually learned to fight back," Don Quixote, lying on his back at the entrance of the cave, could only laugh at himself, "What happened to this little girl?"
"As the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a sewing needle dropped in the vast sea. It is unpredictable. You don't have to worry about it."
Hearing the sound coming from the entrance of the cave, Don Quixote, who was lying on the ground, raised his head. The familiar dark blue cloth, the familiar cloth shoes, and of course the familiar bald head shining in the sunlight were not that of the ascetic.
Who is it? Don Quixote stood up straight away, patted the dust on his body, and then turned around, "I wonder who your Excellency is?"
It's just that this time, when Don Quixote looked at the ascetic in front of him, he no longer had the powerless despair he felt when he saw him in his dream. Obviously, this is the benefit that power brings, and there are also many.
The reason why people are addicted to power is the pleasure of being in control of everything and ignoring everything!
But for Don Quixote, although he successfully awakened his free will under the stimulation of the goddess of time and knew the importance of power, his naturally lazy character still did not make him a desperate pursuer.
A madman of strength, this is what is called a man whose nature is easy to change but hard to change. Of course, this also has the advantage that Don Quixote is not destined to become a person who is desperate for power and eventually becomes a slave of power!
The bald man opposite him clasped his hands slightly, "A person who lives in this world has no name or surname."
"The master is at a high level. As the saying goes, if a person has no name, he will no longer be restrained by himself and can concentrate on understanding the truth of the world."
"Your Excellency, you have given me the prize." Don Quixote's words of praise actually made the ascetic feel a little embarrassed. "I have only recently reached the state of selflessness."
"I wonder if the master is passing by here?"
"I think you are also a smart person, so your purpose should be clear to me."
"Oh," Don Quixote nodded slightly, "I wonder how Master found my hiding place? I have used magic to eliminate all traces along the way."
"Your Excellency is naturally as meticulous as dust. After chasing you all the way, you did not find any traces. Even Ms. Esther's attempt to obtain your position through deception failed, but..."
Obviously, Don Quixote's words had opened up the conversational box of the ascetic in front of him. When he was about to explain how he discovered Don Quixote, Don Quixote suddenly said, "I don't know if the master had lunch."
?"
"Ah?" The ascetic was stunned.
The human brain should actually be considered single-threaded. In layman's terms, it can only focus on one thing at a time. At least that's the case for most people under normal circumstances.
But at this time, the mage on the opposite side was discussing philosophical issues with him very calmly. Therefore, although the ascetic knew from the sensory feedback that his opponent was almost as powerful as himself, he was also very attentive to answer Don Quixote.
The problem.
After all, there is no hatred between them, and for this opponent to understand the essence of selflessness, it feels like he has met a close friend. Therefore, at this time, in addition to distracting some of his attention to stay alert, the ascetic also
Instead, he focused more on explaining why he was able to find Don Quixote.
As a result, when Don Quixote suddenly asked the words "Master, have you eaten?", the ascetic's brain could not process it for a while, and he was stunned because his train of thought was interrupted.
At the same time, the brain will be thinking, these are obviously two unrelated questions, which one should I answer first? Or why did he ask that?
What Don Quixote needed was a short-circuit of thinking at this moment. It was still the time-stopping spell that he had arranged before, and he activated it. This time, the ascetic's reaction was not as fast as the last time.
, but was imprisoned in the spell. It was obvious that Don Quixote's plan was successful.
However, at this time, Don Quixote's face did not have any joy of success, because he knew that the guy in front of him had a special ability that could destroy the structure of the spell! So while starting the time decomposition, he also started
Prepared another spell!
Just as Don Quixote guessed, even if he was in the magic circle where time stood still, the bald body still flashed a faint golden light and left the range of the magic circle, but countless time decomposition lines were all at once.
The ascetic was not hit!
And now that he has started to move, the ascetic will stop talking nonsense. He jumps up suddenly, and under the protection of the air membrane, he hits Don Quixote's chest with a palm! Apparently he almost missed it because of his carelessness just now.
Being instantly killed by this cunning mage made this ascetic realize a mistake. If you are an enemy of the mage, you can't say too much. You must know that the faint golden light that saved him cannot be used continuously.
The ascetic on the opposite side made a palm that was powerful enough to break gold and gravel. He did not dodge, but opened his hands with a mocking look!
The ascetic snorted coldly, and the air film instantly spread all over his body. Facing this seemingly trap-like action, he also felt like I am going to hit you.
"Whoosh!" The ascetic passed directly through Don Quixote's body! Obviously, after becoming the Mage of the Ring, Don Quixote improved both his psychic energy reserves and the speed of his spell construction.
, there has been a qualitative leap! It only takes a blink of an eye to blur the whole body, and it is still so easy and freehand.
Although the ascetic passed through Don Quixote's body, he was also curious about what kind of spell it was that could make people become like air! But he asked himself that under the protection of the air film, he would not be harmed, so he was also very curious.
He calmly stretched out one foot, preparing to step on the ground, then turned around using his strength and continued to attack Don Quixote!
It's a pity that he seemed to have forgotten that people can turn into air, and the ground can also turn into it. Coupled with the ascetic's speed like a sports car, he fell down with a thud!
The next moment, the rocky ground was directly exploded by a huge force, as if someone had detonated a large bundle of TT under the rock. The ascetic jumped out unscathed, seemingly indifferent to being played like a monkey.
He didn't care, but said lightly, "Your spell is indeed very magical, but it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. If this is all you have, you will inevitably die when your spiritual energy is used up!"
However, after the smoke cleared, the ascetic was stunned again, because the mage in front of him actually changed his clothes. He had never heard of an opponent who was in the mood to change his clothes during a battle!
And this outfit looks very weird. Even with his experience, he has never seen this style of clothing. The original black robe turned into a wide yellow robe, and there was a strange hat on his head.
, the shape looks like a cylinder with a triangle placed horizontally on it, and the color is also yellow.
If this ascetic had ever been to China on Earth, then he must have recognized that the clothes made of psychic frames worn by Don Quixote were Taoist robes, and the style was almost the same as that of the ghost movies filmed by his favorite actor Lin Zhengying.
The shape of the Taoist priest in the movie is exactly the same!
Of course, Don Quixote did this not because he started pretending to be B as his strength increased, but because this robe was also one of the ten spells formed by combining the obsession of the time traveler Don Quixote.
This also explains why Don Quixote smiled bitterly at the beginning. Kyle would definitely jump and laugh when he saw him dressed like this, shouting Xiaotang, you are like a magic stick!
This Taoist robe is a form of protection that uses magic to manifest itself. You can think of it as a personal magic shield. It just looks fancy, but the effect is definitely real!
For example, when the ascetic jumped again and kicked Don Quixote in the air, he passed through Don Quixote again, but this time, he felt something was wrong.
