Whispering Poems.

Chapter 50 The Mystery of Time

Professor Garcia really seemed to be lecturing at the moment, and Shade thought that maybe he should turn up the gas light a little bit to make it more like a classroom:

"Regarding the rules of the time key, this is mentioned in your "Theoretical Fundamentals of Time Travel" course. Also, don't worry about any trouble caused by time travel, our world is not as fragile as you think, and mortals are not as good as they think The world itself is the most powerful in the world where thought can affect matter. Now, please take the key from the basin."

He solved all of Xia De's doubts in one sentence, and probably every student who is traveling through time for the first time will have similar questions.

"basin?"

Xia De looked at the glowing water basin, squatted down and put his hand into the warm water for some reason, and then really took out a key.

It was a wooden key, not even as small as Shade's thumb.The flat keys have a normal shape, with teeth on one side and very smooth on the other.The wood grain on the surface of the key is unusually obvious. After carefully rubbing it, I found a line of characters that were not the size of a grain of rice.

Although I learned a lesson from the [Dark Box] last time, this time it is obviously safe.Therefore, Shade once again exerted his translation talent, interpreting it as:

[The world tree blesses you in time. 】

"world Tree?"

Shade was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show much expression on the surface.

"There are many ways to transmit [relics] in the academy, and the poet's manuscript is the most basic one. Although the method currently used is expensive, it is safer, and the level of objects that can be transmitted is also higher."

Professor Garcia still seems to be lecturing:

"[Time Keys] are graded from the poet level (level 5) to the unknowable level (level 0), from the god of the past [Father of the Infinite Tree]. Because this is just a course teaching, this time the poet level is provided 's [Time Key]."

The professor didn't use the term "Old God", but the vague "God of the Past", which caught Shard's attention.

"What do you know about this god?"

the pointed-eared professor asked.

"Just know the name."

"[Father of the Infinite Tree] is a very special god. The special thing is that he is also a world tree."

If Professor Garcia could have said that before Shard deciphered the notch on the key, Shard's surprise at the moment might have been more sincere.

"As for the World Tree, you don't need to know about it for the time being. As for using the key, align it with the keyhole of any door, turn it and open the door, and then you can go to the past time point. You can know the corresponding time for each key before you open it. Time, the trick is to put the key under the pillow to sleep, and the information left by the [Father of the Infinite Tree] in the key will be displayed in the dream. We search for major events related to the old gods according to the era corresponding to the information, so as to find the key to the key. level to be judged.”

"So which period of the Fifth Era does this one correspond to?"

Shad's fingers stroked the wood grain on the surface of the key.

The chaotic era of the fourth era is too dangerous. The keys of the first three eras are strictly prohibited for ring warlocks below the 9th ring, so this key can only be used in the fifth era.

"The fall of 1068 of the Fifth Age. The time point corresponding to each key must be related to the old gods. Therefore, the history school will be proficient in the [blasphemy] element, because only the history school has the opportunity to not contact the existing evil gods themselves. Next, go to get the silver [Desecration] element safely."

Shade didn't think it was safe to travel through time at all.

"We are time traversers and investigators. When entering the past time, we cannot carry any items with extraordinary power. Even if you want to carry them, they will fall before you step into the opened 'door'."

Professor Garcia looked at Xia De, Xia De hurriedly shook his head and said that he did not have it now.Whether it is the blood-sucking ring or the twenty-sided dice of fate, they are all placed in the study.

"Entering the past time point, there will be a lot of white fog in our field of vision. The 'other me' will also give him a hint of the time point and event information obtained from the Fallen God's Relic Key.

During the entire investigation period, the white fog will not dissipate, and the investigator can only move to the position without the white fog to witness what happened.During this period, as long as you do not take the initiative to contact the past, no one will notice you.We are investigators, witnessing and recording events from the past, and bringing them back to fill in the missing pre-epoch history. "

"You mean we're actually going to see a realistic electric opera?"

Shade gave an example.

"Nice metaphor."

A smile finally appeared on Professor Garcia's face. Although this professor with pointed ears looked stern, he was very nice:
"With a very small probability, the fallen [Father of the Infinite Tree] will issue some tasks to you, but the probability is negligible. Then Mr. Hamilton, let's start now."

"Now?"

Xia De swallowed and looked at the bedroom door. Mia was probably tired, so the sound of claws on the door had not been heard for a long time.

"Do you have anything else to prepare for? Oh, don't worry, each time you open will allow you to stay for up to 3 hours. When you return to the correct time, it will only appear 3 seconds after it disappears."

"I mean is it too sloppy, that kind of thing"

Xia De thought that the instructor would give some systematic training, but he did not expect such a simple introduction.

"The ring warlock has to rely on himself, of course, but also on the 'other me', but not on others. You don't have to take a pen and paper to record, any matter that you bring to the past time and space will return to its original state when you return. Even if you If you really have the ability to intervene in the past, it will only be a small ripple in the long river of time, don’t underestimate time and the world.”

"Well then, Professor Garcia."

He stood up and went to the bedroom door, letting the light of the brass-colored gas lamps on the side walls shone over his head and shoulders.

The small key was aligned with the key hole, and I didn't expect it to be inserted, but the two obviously did not match.

"Remember, when you turn, you must recite the mantra, and you can recite it in any language - the world tree blesses me in time.

Mr. Hamilton, see you in three seconds.Please relax, the college has specially investigated, in 1068 of the Fifth Epoch, nothing dangerous happened, it is very safe.Please cherish your first time trip, it will be a memorable and interesting trip. "

"Okay, see you in three seconds, Professor Garcia."

Uneasy in his heart, Xia De gently turned the wooden key in his hand, and said in his mouth:

"May the world tree bless me in time."

There was a click, but it was obvious that the door lock of his bedroom had no possibility of making such a sound.

Shade took a deep breath and finally opened the door.

But behind the door was not the tired orange cat Mia and the bedroom. The silky white mist slowly wriggled behind the door frame, and behind the door was a foggy door covered with hazy white mist.

He swallowed and heard Professor Garcia's encouragement again, thinking about the cat in his heart, so he bravely walked in.
