Chapter 06 Time Magic
Crossing the Desert of the God of Fear, at the end of the western end of the Belland Continent, is an endless, undulating rocky landform.
The gray-brown rocks are exposed on the surface, and there are lava that keeps rolling up from the ground in many exposed pits. It seems that the newborn appearance of this planet is still preserved here.
This is an unknown land, and there is no record of this place in the history of any race, because among the common sense of various wise races, the Desert of the Gods is the end of the west of the continent.
When Arthur, Qiong and others came out of the teleportation magic circle and saw the scene in front of them, they were completely shocked. No grass was born and creatures disappeared. This was definitely a forbidden area for life.
Arthur's eyes quietly looked at Shalin beside him, and there was a little admiration in his eyes. Because this is the location of the Star and Moon Guardian Alliance, there are countless Star and Moon Warriors as young as Shalin who live their lives here for the protection of the seal and this continent.
After Arthur agreed to secretly become a member of the alliance, Shalin could bring him to the location of the alliance, where there was a secret that could help Arthur and his companions quickly improve their strength. This time, those who chose to secretly join the guardians of Star Moon with Arthur, in addition to Arnold, Joan, Huey and Gori, there were also Lingyu, Elf Elanni, Little Witch Beggi, Dwarf Torun and Little Giant Buku. As for the Ten Princess, Nini and Moral, they were directly rejected by Shalin on the grounds that they were not talented enough to waste their places.
Among the ten people, Arthur, Arnold and Huey are already generals. Grie and Qiongli are only one step away from crossing the warrior Tianguan. The remaining five are also equal to a level nine warrior or magician. They are very likely to advance to the warrior through this promotion. If these companions around them can enter the level of warriors, Arthur will have the confidence to compete with any force.
Shalin noticed Arthur's eyes secretly looking at him, and said lightly: "Let's go, we are still a distance away from our destination. Influenced by the powerful sealing power, any magic that is related to space, including the magic circle, will be greatly affected, so we can only fly all the way."
There was still a distance that Shalin said, so Arthur and the others flew almost unceasingly for a whole day and a night. The distant distance and lifeless environment made Arthur and the others truly understand the terribleness of this dead silent place. If Shalin had not led the way, even if a strong man from the outside accidentally broke in, he would have lost his direction here without knowing the direction.
When Shalin led everyone to the ground from the air, Arthur and the others could hear the sound of the waves, but there were still endless exposed rocks in front of them.
Shalin did not explain, but took out a staff and pointed it forward. A slight and shadow swayed, and the scene in front of everyone changed.
There is actually an illusion magic array here!
The landform in front of everyone turned into a huge open canyon, with seven slightly higher peaks located around the canyon. The depth of the canyon is not long, and you can vaguely see the darkness at the end of the canyon, and the sound of waves comes from there.
"Where is it?" Arthur couldn't help asking.
"Sea of Darkness," Shalin explained.
Everyone was shocked by the end of the west of the continent being surrounded by the sea of darkness just like the north.
"The headquarters of the alliance is actually built on the edge of the sea of darkness?"
"The alliance headquarters is not here, it's Seal Canyon."
"This is the legendary place where the seven tribes of ancient gods and demons fight together to seal the demons?" Qiong couldn't help but interrupt and asked with a strong curiosity.
Shalin nodded.
"I didn't find any difference?" Qiong couldn't help but murmur.
Arthur asked in confusion: "Aren't we going to the Alliance headquarters? Why are we here?"
"Because that secret of the alliance is in this canyon."
Arthur's eyes swept through the entire canyon and found nothing unusual.
The magic wand in Shalin pointed into the canyon, "Go, the canyon in front is your next place of cultivation. I think I have already reminded you to bring enough living supplies before you can practice here with peace of mind before I come to pick you up. As for how much you can improve it, it depends on your own efforts."
Arthur, Joan and others were staring at Shalin with incredible eyes, "Cultivating here? What about the secrets of the alliance you mentioned?"
Looking at Arthur who was confused, Shalin smiled and said, "This is the secret of the alliance."
"You're sure you're not kidding?"
Shalin was not teasing him and explained seriously: "This is the sealed place protected by the alliance. Countless Star and Moon Warriors are nearby, but they just didn't show up on their own initiative. This is the strongest place in the entire Belland Continent. When the seal's power is strong enough to a certain extent, it can even affect time, making time slower."
"You mean the time in the canyon is different from that in the outside world!" Arthur's eyes flashed and he instantly reacted. Arthur had had a similar experience. He had been in that mysterious world for a few months, but a year had passed on the mainland.
"The power of time is the most difficult power to touch among the twelve magic. There have been tens of thousands of years on the continent that have not mastered the power of time. Fortunately, we also use the magic array left in ancient times to touch time. There is a time magic array hidden here. The alliance slows down the flow of time with the influence of super sealing power on time."
It turned out to be time magic! Everyone's faces were full of horror. Although time magic is listed as one of the twelve systems in the magic base, no one has ever contacted it. Some people in the magic world have even proposed to remove time magic from the twelve systems or replace it with seal magic.
"How much slower is the flow of time?" Arthur's voice was already trembling.
"ten times."
"Let's go in now!" Arthur didn't want to delay a minute. Every minute of delay outside was equivalent to ten minutes, and more than a month outside was equivalent to one year inside.
What Arthur lacks the most now is time. No matter how talented he is or how hard he works, he is only twenty-nine years old after all, while his opponent is a strong man who has been practicing for fifty or sixty years or even more than a hundred years. This gap is sometimes irreparable by talent and hard work. Arthur sometimes thinks that if he is given another ten years, he will no longer be afraid of any opponent on this continent, but the situation is urgent and impossible.
Now the opportunity is right in front of him, and he didn't want to delay for a moment and rushed into the canyon first.
When Buku was the last step into the canyon, Shalin's staff was put down, and the scenery in front of him changed again. The canyon had disappeared and turned into an endless bare rocky landform again.
"I hope they will have time to come out." Shalin murmured to himself as he looked at the empty terrain in front of him.
