Just as Lando was thinking a lot, the golden figure spoke first.
"Hello, respected messenger of the Time Lord, Mr. Grand Arcanist, we, the elders of the Time and Gold clan, would like to invite you to our ancestral land as a guest, and we hope you will honor us!"
Although the tone of the golden figure's words contained no emotion, his posture was very respectful, with the etiquette unique to the Arcane Empire.
Time Lord messenger?
Lando captured this key information from the other party's words, and the other party placed this title before the 'Great Arcanist'. It was obvious that in the other party's eyes, the identity of this 'Messenger of the Time Lord' was greater than that of the 'Great Arcanist'.
'of.
Gold pocket watch? Xiaojin?
These two thoughts flashed through Lando's mind.
I just don’t know what level the ‘Time Lord’ the other party is talking about is!
After thinking about it, Lando had no intention of pretending after all, so he said: "If the so-called 'Messenger of the Time Lord' in your mouth refers to this gold pocket watch..." After saying that, Lando raised the gold in his hand.
Pocket watch, continued: "Then you may have mistaken the person. This gold pocket watch was given to me by a friend. This does not mean that I am his messenger."
After hearing Lando's words, the golden figure suddenly became filled with golden light and began to flash frequently.
Um?!
Could it be that the other party is angry because he didn't get the result he wanted?!
Lando calmly became on guard.
Unexpectedly, after the other party's body flickered with light for a while, he didn't make any extra moves, but instead acted more humbly. At the same time, his cold tone seemed to be filled with inexplicable respect, awe and...envy?
The golden figure said: "It turns out that you are not only the messenger of the Time Lord, but also the Lord's friend! In our clan, only the Elders can become friends with our Lord!"
Lando:???!!!
Lando always felt that the other party's brain circuit was a little abnormal. Although the words of the two parties were on the same page, they seemed to be talking about different topics. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain it.
Thinking of this, Lando changed his explanation and asked: "How did you confirm that I am the messenger of the Time Lord you said?"
The golden figure said respectfully: "Of course it's because you hold the time device of the time lord."
Lando took out the gold pocket watch and asked: "You mean this? As long as you hold this, you will be the messenger of the Time Lord?"
"Of course!" the golden figure said matter-of-factly.
Ennnnnnn, if that's the case...
"You just said that you...the elders of the Shijin clan invited me to be a guest in your ancestral land, right?" Lando asked.
"Yes, sir, please appreciate me!" the golden figure replied respectfully.
"Then... let's go, lead the way." Lando's eyes flashed with interest.
"Sir Messenger, please follow me. The ancestral land of our Shijin clan is in a special time dimension."
After the golden figure finished speaking, he took one step forward and disappeared.
Lando:......
A gust of cold wind blew by, leaving Lan Duo alone, gradually becoming disheveled in the wind.
It wasn't fast movement or space teleportation, the golden figure just disappeared out of thin air.
Because of the gold pocket watch, Lando could sense that the other party had traveled away from the time dimension.
The issue is……
Lando can't do this!
A moment later, the golden figure appeared in front of Lando again, his expressionless face seemed to reveal a trace of confusion.
"Lord Messenger?"
Faced with the doubts of the golden figure, Lando was silent for a moment and then said: "I do not have the power of time."
The golden figure suddenly understood and said directly: "I was negligent, please forgive me, Lord Messenger."
After saying that, the golden figure bent down and handed his hand to Lando and said: "Sir Messenger, let me take you there."
Lando did not go up, but asked doubtfully: "I don't have the power of time, don't you think it's strange?"
As the messenger of the Time Lord, he does not have the power of time. It is a bit strange no matter how you think about it!
Why did this golden figure accept it so naturally and seemed to take it for granted?
The golden figure seemed to be a little confused by Lando's question, and said confused and respectfully: "Who will serve as the envoy of the lords is the freedom of the lords, and naturally it is not for us to speculate!"
It seems that in the golden figure's understanding, the so-called lords are a group of people who are quite happy-go-lucky and do not need to have the same power system as themselves.
After receiving the answer, Lando no longer hesitated and jumped directly into the golden figure's hand.
The next moment, the perspective suddenly shifted.
As time goes by, everything becomes strange!
Indescribably, Lando felt like he was walking in time.
This feeling is not his own feeling, but the feedback given by his spiritual path when anchoring himself, allowing him to understand that the time around him is changing drastically.
I don't know how long it took, but Lando suddenly felt light all over. The feeling of drastic changes in time disappeared, and even the feeling of time disturbance in the secret realm of time was weakened to almost nothing.
My eyes swept across the world. The sky was dark, but it was not dark here. Everything I could see was filled with golden light.
The ground is a sea of sand paved with [Sands of Time]. Pieces of crystal clusters stand above the sand sea. The background color of these crystal clusters is golden, but each cluster of crystal clusters has its own color bias, such as
Blue gold, dark gold, purple gold...
Occasionally, you can see the existence of crystal clusters of two or more mixed colors, and these mixed-color crystal clusters have large open spaces around them regardless of their size, unlike single-color crystal clusters that are close together.
The golden figure did not put Lando down, but continued to drag him forward.
Lando suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, I don't know your name yet?"
The golden figure turned his head slightly and replied: "Mr. Messenger, my name is...well, my real name may be too long for you. You can just call me Jin Qi. This is after our Shijin clan joined the Arcane Empire.
, the name I gave myself.”
Golden Seven?
Lando nodded and asked: "What about your elder? How should I call him after we meet."
Jin Qi seemed to be stunned for a moment and murmured: "Elder...an elder is an elder."
Lando was a little speechless. Why is this Jin Qi so smart?
Looking past the large swaths of crystal clusters, Lando could clearly feel that as he walked forward, not only did these crystal clusters become taller and larger, but the proportion of multi-colored crystal clusters also increased.
Lando asked: "What are these... crystal clusters?"
Jin Qi answered casually: "These are the anchor points of my people on this time dimension, and can also be regarded as their ontology on this timeline."
Lando nodded thoughtfully, to avoid misunderstanding, and he didn't look too much at it.
Jin Qi's progress was not slow, and a moment later a huge multi-colored crystal cluster appeared in Lando's sight.
Compared with other crystal clusters of its kind, this cluster of crystal clusters is simply outstanding, and the color change on its body is far greater than that of other clusters, and it even flashes several colors that have not been seen in other clusters.
When they got closer, Jin Qi bent down and put Lando down.
Lando stared at the huge colorful crystal clusters and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Jin Qi said apologetically: "Sir Messenger, the elder is currently in other time dimensions and won't be able to come back for a while, but he has contacted me through the future timeline, so let me be the transfer to facilitate your communication.
.”
With that said, Jin Qi had already walked up to the colorful crystal cluster and placed a hand on it. Suddenly, a colorful light spread from the colorful crystal cluster and poured into Jin Qi's body.
"Hello, the messenger of a certain great Time Lord, Mr. Grand Arcanist of the Empire."
The voice came from Jin Qi's mouth. Although the timbre did not change much, Lando could hear a taste of time deposited in it.
"Hello, elder of the Shijin clan, my name is Lando. As for the messenger of the Time Lord you mentioned, I think this may be a misunderstanding."
Lando saluted respectfully and said that he never lacked etiquette for old antiques like this.
"It doesn't matter, Lord Messenger is just what we say. Since you hold the Time Lord's time device, you are at least his friend. For us, there is no difference between the two identities, even the latter.
Even more noble!"
The elder said gently.
Lando nodded slightly. Although he did not know Xiao Jin personally, since the so-called lord's messenger did not have a specific reference, he did not need to explain more.
"Then, Mr. Elder, your invitation to me this time is not just as a guest. If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."
For Lando, he didn't like beating around the bush, so he made the topic clear.
The elder didn't seem to adapt to Lando's way of speaking. He was silent for a while and then said: "In that case, I will speak frankly."
"I asked little friend Lando to come here this time because I want him to do me a favor."
Lando was not surprised by the elder's words. He said calmly: "I don't think I have the strength to do what even you can't do. If the elder wants to use me to send time to the time behind me,
If the lord makes a request, I cannot make the decision on his behalf."
Through chatting with Kieran, Lando had some understanding of the Jin clan at this time. He knew that one of them had reached the level of the 'Council of Five', that is, a guardian whose strength had reached the pinnacle of the mortal world. There was a high probability that he was the one in front of him.
He is the elder of the Shijin clan.
Therefore, Lando didn't think that the other party would be able to ask for anything from him. Naturally, the other party's current attitude was to seek help from Xiao Jin, so he blocked this road in advance.
The elder shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Little friend, you don't need to belittle yourself. I naturally know that with the ability of our current Shijin clan, we cannot invite a great Time Lord. The reason for inviting you here this time is to seek your help."
help."
"I?!"
Lando was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party was really looking for him, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked: "Please tell me."
The elder smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will explain the whole story. The main purpose of inviting you here this time is to entrust you to investigate the Hengguang Universe, the main universe of our Shijin clan."
Lando's face became even more confused. He didn't know what level he was. He hadn't even reached the second stage of the Grand Arcanist. There were a lot of people in the Arcane Empire who were better than him.
It would be easy for the Grand Arcanist in the second or third stage of the relationship to help. For example, this kind of commission to explore the Everlight Universe proves that it might be his turn?!
"I know you are confused. In fact, we also entrusted the powerful men of the Arcane Empire to explore the coordinates of the Constant Light Universe, but the result was nothing."
"And the reason why I hope to entrust you with another investigation is naturally because you hold the Time Lord's Time Tool in your hand!"
The elder smiled and said: "Little friend Lando, if you are not in a hurry, can you please listen to me and explain slowly."
Lando nodded, as if listening.
"Our universe is called the Constant Light Universe. That's because the first great lord born in our universe was called Constant Light, and the Everlight Universe got its name from this."
"In our universe, the practice system is the path of authority. The ultimate goal of every practitioner is to condense his own long river of authority. In fact, a small part of your arcanist's path system is based on constant light.
The way of authority in the universe!”
Lando nodded slightly, he had anticipated this when he got the information on the 'Abandoned River of Time' secret realm.
"Anyone who condenses a long river of authority is called a lord in our Hengguang universe, and great lords like my master and Hengguang are equivalent to the arcane emperor level of your arcane empire!"
Lords and great lords?!
The great lord is equivalent to the arcane emperor level? That is, the strong man who unites all realms?!
"And once you reach the lord level in the Everlight Universe, you will at least have the strength to surpass the third stage of the great arcanist you call. Of course, this is also based on the essential differences between the way of authority and the way of arcane magic. The way of arcane magic relies more on
It depends on the knowledge and wisdom of you arcanists, and the way of authority has higher demands on the outside world. More importantly, once a certain authority is condensed into a long river of authority, then those who come after you will no longer be able to walk on the same authority.
At the end, new authority can only be opened up, unless the holder of the long river of authority achieves greatness!"
After listening to what the elder said, Lando felt that there were many similarities between the way of authority and the way of the gods, but they should be completely different in essence.
"The broken river of time you see is the authority that my master condensed before he achieved greatness. Although it is no longer useful to my master, at least it still exists, which in itself represents
My master is still alive, otherwise this long river of time would have collapsed long ago!"
"Because the incident happened suddenly, I don't know why the Eternal Light Universe was shattered. When we drifted near here and were captured by the Arcane Universe, I made an agreement with the Arcane Empire and asked them to send powerful arcanists there.
The exploration of the universe coordinates I gave found nothing, there is no constant light universe there!"
"From this, I draw two conclusions..."
"Either, the entire Everlight Universe has been completely destroyed in an unknown attack!"
"Either it is my master's time authority, combined with the space authority of Lord Hengguang, who used the power of the intersection of time and space to hide the Hengguang Universe!"
Hiding a large universe? The power of the emperor is really incredible!
Lando felt a little emotional.
"If it's the second case, it would require at least a great lord level of time or space power to sense the existence of the Constant Light Universe. This is why I found you!"
After the elder finished speaking, he looked at Lando with some hope.
So that’s it, that’s why you found me!
It seems that only I... can... handle this matter?!
Lando's expression froze, he swallowed, looked at the elder in disbelief and asked: "You mean...this gold pocket watch contains the power of the great lord, the Arcane Emperor?!"
The elder nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Of course!"
‘Boom!~’
Yes, it seems that when we first met, the elder indeed used the term "great lord" to describe the little Jin "behind" him!
