As he moved forward, Lando would dig into the ground from time to time. Most of the time he would find nothing, but occasionally he would bring out one or two [Sands of Time].
Looking at the dozen golden sand grains in the special bottle in his hand, Lando was also speechless.
With his own sensing ability as a Grand Arcanist, even the gray soil cannot completely shield it, so as long as the distance is close enough, Lando can still sense any abnormalities.
But the accuracy is really disappointing.
Along the way, Lando took action at least a hundred times, but he only found these dozen golden sand grains.
Putting away the bottle, Lando looked into the distance.
At this time, it had been three days since he entered the secret realm of the 'Abandoned River of Time'. Although he was not walking slowly, he could not go where he wanted to go because of the chaotic and changing time fluctuations in the outside world all the time.
Just go wherever you want.
The color of the soil on the ground has changed from gray at first to dark gray now, which to some extent represents the distance he has penetrated into the secret realm of time.
Based on the basic information about the secret realm obtained by Lando, it can be calculated that if we continue to advance at this speed, we will probably be able to enter the middle area in less than ten days, and by then it will not be as comfortable and peaceful as it is now.
A human-shaped shadow appeared in the distance. Judging from the appearance of the shadow, it seemed that it was... digging?!
The other party seemed to have noticed Lando coming from a distance. He stopped what he was doing and walked further away, as if he didn't want to communicate too much with Lando.
Lando shrugged indifferently. He had encountered this situation a few times in the past few days.
Those who are 'mining' in the shallow area are undoubtedly legendary arcanists who are high in the outside world, and it is normal not to want this attitude to be seen.
Moreover, although the secret realm belongs to the empire, it is not necessarily absolutely safe.
Interest is something that is so exciting no matter when or where it is.
Eight days later, Lando was convinced that he had entered the middle area, and the evidence was the vague turbulence of time.
It's just that the time turbulence we see now is very gentle, which is slightly larger than the time changes in the outside world.
The so-called time turbulence is essentially a 'time storm' caused by excessive disturbance of time power and imbalance between regions.
This point can basically refer to the formation of wind.
The light breeze on the shop floor is also wind, and the violent waves tearing through the sky are also wind!
Lando had no interest in these and continued to move forward unhurriedly.
Although the [Sands of Time] contained in the soil here is more abundant, it also suppresses and interferes with perception more, and the probability of perception errors also greatly increases. From this point of view, the overall income is lower than Qian.
The level area is just a little high, so it's not worth the risk for the legendary arcanists to come.
Lando took out the gold pocket watch Xiaojin gave him. He had taken it out several times when he was in the shallow area, but the gold pocket watch did not respond at all. Now when he came to the middle area, he could clearly see
I feel like there is a trace of time being injected into it.
This convinced Lando that the actual purpose of the gold pocket watch was to enter this secret realm of time before it could be activated, and judging from the current appearance, there was a high probability that he would need to carry it to the depths of the secret realm!
With inexplicable thoughts in his heart, Lando put away the gold pocket watch after thinking for a moment. No matter what, it was originally Lando's plan to go to the deep area of the secret realm.
However, although he has a good relationship with the old tree spirit, he has no idea about the so-called Xiao Jin. Although the old tree spirit said that the little mist was given to him by the little gold, the other party only invested in him in advance through the ability of time, so that he can do it in the future.
It can help the other party, but this kind of words cannot completely reassure Lando.
So you still need to be prepared and vigilant!
The progress is still continuing. According to the description in the basic information and the time Lando walked in the shallow area, it can be roughly calculated that if he does not stop and there is no large-scale time turbulence blocking the way, it will take about two months.
It takes time to get to the deeper areas.
This has been quite a long time, and you must know that the time that the legendary arcanists and great arcanists can spend entering this secret realm of the 'Abandoned River of Time' is limited.
Because of time disturbance, this disturbance will continue to accumulate on the entrants as time goes by. Even in the weakest shallow area, the longest time Lando can stay will not exceed five years.
If you go deep into the middle area or even the deep area, the residence time will be greatly shortened due to the intensification of time disturbance.
Of course, the stay time here is the absolute time that the arcane masters spend in the secret realm, and the acceleration or deceleration of time caused by experiencing the turbulence of time is not included.
This is also the reason why most legendary arcanists are only willing to 'mine' in shallow areas. After all, this is the most cost-effective way.
A few days later, Lando, who was walking boringly, suddenly became startled.
He took out the anchor pointer from his arms. At this time, the anchor pointer was rotating disorderly, but most of the time it pointed in a certain direction to the right front. Of course, that was not the anchor point of the empire, but the coming chaos of time.
flow.
Judging from the chaos of the anchor pointer, the scale and degree of this wave of time turbulence should not be large.
Lando thought for a while and decided to go and have a look.
After all, as he continues to go deep into the depths of the Secret Realm of Time, the most common natural disaster in the Secret Realm, the turbulent flow of time, will surely be encountered frequently, so it is necessary to conduct some testing in advance.
After adjusting his direction, Lando continued to move forward.
More than ten minutes later, an area moving at a constant speed like a 'tide' appeared in front of Lando. It was a special natural disaster in the secret realm of time...turbulent flow of time!
Looking around, the entire area ahead is almost flooded by this 'tide', with no end in sight.
Lando no longer hesitated and stepped into it.
If Lando was walking in the secret realm of time before, it was like walking in the deep sea, and now entering the turbulent flow of time is like encountering the chaotic undercurrent of the seabed. The chaotic power of time in all directions seems to be pulling him away.
The whole thing is in disarray.
In other words, the Great Arcanist's path protects the whole body, is constant, and can easily offset this chaotic power of time. The Legendary Arcanist may not be able to hold on for long.
Lando looked to the back. It was obvious that that was the direction he had just entered. It was obvious that the turbulent flow of time was not moving very fast, but at this time, he could no longer see the scenery of the stable area behind.
The anchor pointer and the guidance of energy lines have all lost their effect. Only the sensitivity of the Grand Arcanist to the power of time can still allow Lando to barely identify his own direction.
Walking backwards in the direction he came in, Lando soon left the time turbulence area.
After making sure that he would not be in danger, Lando entered it again.
At the same time, he also noticed that perhaps because the power of time was more active, the efficiency of the gold pocket watch in collecting the power of time was also accelerated.
Due to the mixing of flying gray soil in the turbulent flow of time, the interference with perception is more serious and the visibility is also greatly shortened.
In the flying gray soil, there is a hint of golden light from time to time. Those are the "sands of time".
In just half a day, the [Sands of Time] that Lando harvested in the turbulent flow of time reached about half of all the previous harvests combined.
Suddenly Lando looked forward. Perhaps due to some coincidence, the power of a large amount of turbulent time suddenly concentrated on a very small range point, just like different water flows forming a whirlpool during the intersection. Here
A small time vortex also formed in a very short period of time.
At this moment, a few grains of gray soil happened to pass by.
A strange reaction seemed to have occurred at this moment. These gray soil particles seemed to have been baptized by the years while passing through the vortex of time. They 'slowly' faded away from their gray texture and emitted a golden brilliance from the inside out!
【Sands of Time】?!
Lando couldn't help but feel shocked as he watched the newly born [Sands of Time] being blown everywhere after leaving the vortex of time.
It turns out that this is how [Sands of Time] was born!
Is this the power of time?
Without giving Lando more time to study, the small time vortex had dissipated.
The whole process is extremely fast and only takes place within a few seconds.
He shook his head regretfully. Although he was very interested in this, Lando no longer had the energy to conduct more research on the power of 'time'.
His purpose of entering the 'Abandoned River of Time' this time has always been clear.
The most important thing is of course that he wants to explore this secret realm based on his own interests. To put it bluntly, he simply wants to experience it.
Secondly, I want to see if I can find some good things like [Sand of Sleep]. After all, resources of this level are of high value. Whether they are used in exchange for other needs or kept for personal use, it is good.
choose.
Finally, I tried to unlock the secret of the gold pocket watch, but Lando was not too pushy about this.
As he continued to move forward, Lando felt that he had passed the core area of the turbulence of time, because the further he moved forward, the disturbance of time became smoother, and it was gradually approaching the intensity when he first entered the turbulence of time.
"Huh?"
Lando suddenly let out a light sigh, and he felt different movements coming from other directions.
Maybe it's someone else who entered the secret realm.
Different from the legendary arcanist in the shallow area, the high probability of being able to enter the middle area and stay in the turbulence of time is the great arcanist. Lando is still interested in communicating with the latter.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and headed in the direction where he sensed the commotion.
Not long after, Lando saw a 'net', a large 'net' condensed by the power of the road domain!
This 'net' was spread out in a three-dimensional shape, with a large gap in the middle. However, Lando noticed that whenever [Sands of Time] passed by, they would be absorbed by this large 'net', and those ordinary
Gray soil is completely undisturbed.
Lando silently took out the small bottle in his arms that had already gathered a small amount of [Sands of Time], and then looked at the other party's collection efficiency.
"..."
At this moment, the people who cast the net seemed to have noticed Lando's arrival, and slowly closed the road area.
To avoid misunderstanding, Lando waited quietly where he was.
After a while, a young man wearing casual robes walked towards Lando.
Kieran Ortega?!
The Grand Arcanist was active during the Arcane Empire 800 years ago, and his path seems to involve the power of time.
Basic information about this young man came to Lando's mind.
Thanks to the rotating speaker system, basically all new Grand Arcanists will leave some traces in the history of the Empire. With Lando's current authority and status, if he wants to find them, he can find almost all the known Grand Arcanists in the Empire.
Images and basic information.
etc!
The power of time? Still called Kieran?!
He wouldn't suddenly say to me, 'I saw your death, and you died horribly!', or 'Do you know Doraemon?' or something like that?! (Kilan, the time old man in LOL
lines.)
While playing a small theater in Lando's mind, Kieran also saw the former who interrupted his collection of resources.
Based on the special nature of the "Abandoned River of Time" secret realm, even Kieran, who has a time path, can only stay a little longer than other great arcanists, but cannot stay permanently.
This is of course a matter of course, otherwise the empire would not have set the charging standard for the ‘Abandoned River of Time’ secret realm as pay-per-view.
Therefore, Kieran is not completely disconnected from the empire. Whenever he reaches the time limit, he will leave the secret realm to relax, and at the same time, he will collect the empire's contribution needed to enter the "Abandoned River of Time" secret realm next time.
Kieran also knows about Lando, the upstart in the empire. Although counting the time, Lando's rotating speakership should not be over yet, but Kieran is not surprised to see the former in the secret realm of time at this time.
.
"Hello, Mr. Keelan, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Although the two parties did not know each other before, this did not prevent Lando from greeting him familiarly.
Kieran laughed when he heard this and said: "It's not surprising that I'm here, but it's an 'accident' that Lando appears here, right?"
Hearing the ridicule in Kieran's words, Lando couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Fortunately, Kieran is also a "experienced person" and naturally knows the unspoken rules in the Imperial Parliament, so he directly skipped the topic and chatted with Lando.
After a moment, Lando changed the subject and asked: "Kieran, actually I came here mainly to explore the deep areas of the secret realm. I wonder if you have anything to remind me. Of course, if it involves some secret information, I will
Use your time and resources in exchange.”
Originally, Kieran didn't take Lando's words seriously, because he could clearly feel that this was Lando's first time in the Secret Realm of Time, and he was not taking a time-based path, so it was almost impossible to gain much along the way.
But when Kieran saw the two bottles Lando took out, his eyes couldn't help but move.
One bottle is of course the [Sands of Time] that Lando collected along the way.
And the other bottle contains what Lando got from Osguto... [Sand of Sleep]!
