"Then what can we do?"
Facing the girl's coquettish and reproachful gaze, Xifa did not change his expression, but changed the topic seriously.
"It's not what we can do, but what you can do..."
When Alice saw this, she also put away her thoughts of making fun, and replied in a sullen voice.
"What's the meaning?"
Hearing this, Xifa stopped suddenly. For some reason, after hearing these words, he felt empty in his heart for a moment. "Will you leave?"
Alice hurriedly explained: "No, in order to repair the seal, extremely advanced magical attainments and powerful spell-casting abilities are required."
"If you don't enter the Hualong Pond and unlock the seal on your body, how can you repair the seal?"
After hearing this explanation, Xifa felt that it made sense, so he stepped forward and continued on his way.
But then, Xifa felt something was wrong.
"Then, why can't you be the one to repair the seal?"
"By the way, why are you here? Your father told me that you were awakening your magic power in a secret realm. Uh... Could it be that you failed?"
Alice didn't answer immediately, she looked a little weak and clung to Xifa's back.
As the pace swayed, Xifa's ponytail that was close to him scratched his ear, itching...
"Yes, I failed..."
As expected, Xifa silently comforted the girl.
"However, the reason for the failure is not my fault."
"Have you ever heard of a time turner?"
Time turner?
Xifa frowned and recalled carefully.
A time converter is a small device similar to a pocket watch, which can travel through time by simply turning the hands.
In the original book, Hermione used it to travel back in time to study all subjects.
In the end, Sirius was rescued by illegally using it for other than the agreed purposes.
This thing is said to be in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and its use requires joint guarantees from multiple professors and various agreements.
There is also a very important flaw, that is, you cannot let your past self see yourself, otherwise, very terrible things will happen.
"Stop frowning! I'll tell you that." Seeing Xifa's frown, Alice complained distressedly.
Hearing this, Xifa relaxed his brows.
He answered with a relaxed smile.
"No! I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. That thing is in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. What does it have to do with us far away here?"
"It matters a lot!" Alice raised her voice.
"Do you know what the Lord of the Dragon Kingdom is called? The Dragon of Time and Space!"
"No way..." Xifa was startled, and he had a bad idea.
Alice: "The core of the Time Turner is the Overlord's Reverse Scale Fragment!"
"When I awakened in Hualong Pond, a large number of time turners were used frequently."
"The space-time fluctuations generated make the seal here unstable!"
"You have to know that a little change in the past will have a huge impact on the future."
Butterfly effect... Xifa continued in his heart.
"The key thing is that the main force that suppresses Tiamat here is the power of the Lord."
"The massive fluctuations in time and space in this world have allowed Tiamat to find loopholes."
"Not only did it contact people from the outside world, it also allowed those bad guys to enter the Kingdom of Dragons."
"After my investigation, today's Dragon Kingdom is full of traces of erosion."
"In other words, areas that were absolutely safe before will now have dangers hidden in the dark."
…
Seeing that Alice was even more disappointed, Xifa comforted her.
"Danger...it's not a big problem. If it's those statues, I can easily get rid of them."
"No!"
Alice shook her head, and her soft hair hit Xifa's head.
"Those things are the result of bad people's self-sacrifice."
"The volcano that erupted before was its work."
"Besides, I have even worse news...but I'm not sure. I'll explain it to you in detail when I encounter it."
Xifa had some differences, "Why can't you tell me now?"
"Because, this decision must be yours to make!" What I simulated is a fictional version of you after all... Alice silently added the second half of the sentence in her heart.
"Could it be that you can't cast a spell? The consequences of a failed awakening are very serious." Xifa suddenly thought of the first question that Alice didn't answer, why didn't she cast a spell to repair the seal.
"No! I can!"
This time, Alice interrupted Xifa firmly and answered, then she bit her lips and fell into silence.
Xifa: "..."
"But I only have one chance to cast a spell...except on you!"
Why is this? If you don’t understand, just ask!
Faced with Xifa's question, Alice was silent for a while.
It wasn't until Xifa crossed a fracture zone again and experienced bumps that the girl regained consciousness.
"When I cast a spell on you, it's actually your body actively responding to my will. It's almost like directing your magic power on behalf of your will."
"But, your magic power cannot come out of your body. Even if you cast a spell inside your body, you can control your own magic power."
"What I can do for you is probably to help you heal your rampant magic after you fall into a coma."
"So, I don't have any fighting ability! Even though I am strong and have no magic, I am really no match for those stone statues and other monsters..."
...
That's it...
After listening to Alice's words, Xifa thought while driving on the roadside.
This is not like the backlash of a simple awakening failure, but more like a seal imposed on myself.
The reason why Alice cannot cast spells without limit is unknown. Judging from her attitude, it is probably difficult to tell her why.
Being able to cast spells with the help of one's own magic power is something that... even Elise and the others can't do.
This is all my fault. Even though we have known each other for two years, we have not spent much time practicing magic together.
Wait, you can use your own magic power.
"Alice! If I release the fire-attribute magic power outside my body, can you use it to cast magic?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You finally reacted! Yes! Of course! However, my magic skills are not high, so don't put too much hope in me..."
"It's better than my little flame, right?"
"That's not called magic, it's called magic..."
The two of them communicated non-stop in a one-liners manner.
With Xifa's foot power, they soon arrived at the corner of the hanging ladder.
As I turned the corner, my eyes suddenly opened up.
It's hard to imagine such a harsh environment at the foot of a volcano.
There is actually an oasis of giant gymnosperms.
Vaguely, it seems that there are still living things living in it.
It's like an illusion. I'm afraid I saw a mirage?
correct.
"Alice! If I cross this path, will I pass out again?"
Xifa suddenly thought of this.
Originally, he didn't want to ask about this.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, he thought of the extremely unstable time and space fluctuations he had experienced before he fell into coma.
My previous self was not attacked by magic, interfered with, or poisoned, or any other bad things.
Therefore, his coma is most likely due to the instability of his soul caused by fluctuations in time and space.
To give an vivid example, there is a large bubble in a gravity-free environment. The space-time turbulence blows it gently. Although it does not burst, the round bubble begins to shake irregularly.
Until the bubble itself digests this force, or there is an external force to help stabilize it.
"Last time, it was due to fluctuations in time and space that your soul and body were incompatible."
Sure enough, Alice's words confirmed her guess.
"That time, it was your first personal experience, and you were so panicked that you didn't choose the right path."
"The space-time impact received is very serious."
"But don't worry. Now, I am by your side to protect you. Just move forward..."
After speaking, Alice snapped her fingers.
A familiar curved path of light appeared in front of Xifa.
"Follow it! Minimum impact!"
Sure enough, the card is connected to Alice!
It’s still weird, I always feel like I haven’t asked a lot of things.
But, why can’t I open my mouth?
Xifa thought for a while, and when he came to his senses, he had already walked along the light for a while.
After returning home, be sure to let Elise and the others give you a thorough examination.
I always feel like someone has cast a strange spell on me...
Xifa made a vicious note in his heart.
