Both are time-based ultimate skills, but the Master of Kexue and the God of Time and Space are different things.
The God of Time and Space is strong in traveling and changing. It only affects itself. If it is not actively explained, others will not know it. The master of Ke Xue is strong in the confusion of time and the reversal of everyone's concept of time.
Just like in the world of Conan, today is still hot in summer, but tomorrow it can become filled with ice and snow. March 1st can be followed by December 1st, and no one will feel any problem.
They can spend the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in four days very naturally, and in everyone's eyes, time moves forward in a single thread. For example, today is March 3, and tomorrow will be in Ke Xue's home.
Under the influence, it became March 2nd. In the understanding of everyone affected by the technology, March 2nd is still the tomorrow of March 3rd.
This is indeed the case. Time does not really go backwards. Under the influence of Master Ke Xue, people who enter the chaotic time will not continue to grow in physical age, but will enrich their experiences. The experience on March 3 has become an established fact.
.
This sounds like a skill that benefits the public. As long as Ji Xing's magic power is sufficient, everyone can follow Ji Xing into an era of infinite lifespan. However, as the ultimate time-based skill, Ke Xue's Master has its own extra power.
point.
The first thing is – set the scene quickly!
When Ji Xing said those words to Hinata, his 'Ke Xue Master' skill enveloped the time and space of the entire Western countries. Under everyone's understanding, although today's date is 1723 in the Holy Emperor's Chronicle
June 3rd, tomorrow will be August 9th, 1721.
The weather in August was hotter than in June. It was so good that the residents of the Holy French Empire who got up the next day naturally changed into short clothes. What they saw was indeed a scorching summer.
August 9th is the annual Paladin selection date. On this day, the streets of the Holy French Empire will be decorated in a sacred and solemn manner. Various merchants and shops will post banners to celebrate and give some discounts to the knights who participate in the selection, and even
Provide some free meals.
But this time 'the incident happened suddenly', they should not be able to make these preparations, but after dawn, the streets were quickly arranged exactly like the Paladin Selection Day that should happen every year!
Because 'if they knew' that the annual Paladin selection was about to take place, the Holy Kingdom would have made these preparations, so they had these preparations, which is very strange.
In the same way, if they had known that the Paladin selection was imminent, young people aged 18 to 35 who were interested in participating in the election would have rushed to Ruberios, so they showed up at Ruberios at the right time and were ready...even if one of them
Some people were thousands of miles away yesterday!
The area affected by Ji Xing seems to have turned into a unit drama, with his skills completing the rapid jump of background and story!
All these changes were so smooth that only one person in the entire Holy Emperor noticed the strangeness, that is Chloe.
Although she has not yet awakened the ultimate skill of time, the little girl has her future self in her body - the spirit of time, which has a natural defense against time skills.
Others, even Luminas, could not detect the traces of Ji Xing's ultimate skill because they did not yet have the ultimate skill.
It’s not a good feeling to be awake alone when everyone is drunk. The little girl’s head has been confused since last night. She can guess what Ji Xing did, but this feeling is too strange, right?
And why don't you let me know?
The little girl showed an unintimidating and ferocious expression, and quietly glared at Ji Xing, who was following behind as if he was looking at a joke. She turned around and watched with her four friends from a distance as Hinata reviewed the elite paladin who was responsible for assessing new recruits.
Today, Hinata is wearing white clothes, which is also her uniform as the right hand of God. She looks more heroic, and the paladins lined up in front of her are even more neatly dressed and powerful.
"The Ten Commandments of the Paladin, recite!"
After explaining today's precautions and assessment content, Hinata's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall, and the paladins responded in unison.
"First, devout faith! Always be loyal to your beliefs, ideals, and the only almighty god, Luminas!"
"Second, the hand of justice! Act in the name of justice, protect the weak and punish the evil!"
"Third, fearless courage..."
The majestic momentum rushed into the sky, and the three boys including Jian Ye were almost dumbfounded. This kind of thing was too handsome for boys of twelve or thirteen years old, and it was cooler than Transformers.
After the neat Ten Commandments were announced, the paladins walked away in more orderly steps, and Hinata turned around and walked towards a few children.
"Reciting the Ten Commandments verbatim and practicing their contents are the basic requirements for being a Paladin," she said.
"Recite..."
This is a bit annoying to the children, but Hinata will not give any comfort: "In the three-day selection, the church will basically eliminate nine-tenths of the people, and the remaining one-tenth will be concentrated
After a month of training, a small number of them will become official paladins, a small number will be included as paladin candidates, and the rest will still be eliminated.
The first item in the assessment one month later is the recitation of the Ten Commandments, and this item only loses single-digit numbers every year. It’s not that they can’t recite it, they’re just nervous, and many even finish it before the selection.
Recite it, and many non-paladins practice the Ten Commandments throughout their lives."
"But wouldn't it be weird?" Alice asked: "Ruminas is actually a demon king, right? The only, all-powerful thing..."
Hinata shook her head slightly: "This world is full of ugliness. Lady Luminas can make the Holy Kingdom of France peaceful and equal. To the people here, she is a god. Maybe you will understand it when you grow older.
."
After Luminas went to the Demonic Federation, Leonard and others also understood the true face of God, but now they are still devout paladins, because Luminas is very important to the people of this country.
, is the god.
Hearing this, Ryota blinked and said, "So Rimuru-sensei allows monsters and humans to live in peace, is she also a god?"
Hinata hesitated for a moment, shook her head, nodded again, and did not give an answer. She only said: "I will take you to the selection examination."
There are three levels in the preliminary test.
The first level is the 'Heart Questioning Test'. Several examiners have unique skills and can discern whether a person's heart is pure or whether he has committed evil deeds. There are lucky villains who want to sneak into the ranks of Paladins, and they may even be killed.
Arrested on the spot.
This thing is rather metaphysical. The five children looked at it with confusion. Hinata glanced at Ji Xing and said: "This test was originally completed by one of Qiyao. That master has the unique ability to see through good and evil at a glance.
The skill 'Mercy', but due to some circumstances, this test needs to be more complicated and requires multiple people to cross-check."
The children were not very interested in it.
But Hinata is very confident about the quality of the children brought out by Teacher Jing. It is the nature of children to be naughty, but she believes that their character must not be defective.
Unlike myself, this test back then... almost didn't pass.
The second test is about hard work.
People who pass the first level are basically guaranteed to be ‘good people’, but good people are not necessarily lazy.
"There is a reason why the selection day is set in August." Hinata explained: "Although the Holy City is always shrouded in the barrier arranged by Luminas-sama, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the cultivated land is divided into several areas.
blocks to ensure that crops mature every month so that no one has to go hungry.
However, the types of grains vary, and the scope of planting is also different. Early August is always the busiest harvest season every year, because the rice, known as the holy rice, will mature at this time and be harvested intensively.
Candidate paladins who pass the first level will be divided into different queues in groups of a hundred, and will be led by formal knights to help farmers complete the harvest. After a day of hard work, their character and perseverance will be judged."
"Mihedao..."
"Teacher Jing seems to have said it before, but I've never seen it in the ground!"
Teacher Jing... Hinata's mood was a little complicated, she nodded and said, "I'll take you there."
Wait? Chloe couldn't help but glance at Ji Xing. Only she knew that today was not August 9th at all, but June 4th. According to the knowledge taught by Teacher Jing, rice and rice were far from mature at this time.
It’s still early, will the secret be revealed?!
It wasn't until she went to the street and discovered the lively atmosphere, the happy children running around, and the people calling Hinata's name in unison with reverence, that Chloe knew that things would not be that simple.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to see the golden and neat fields, and the children shouted in unison:
"Wow, what a beautiful rice field!"
"Hinata-sensei! Can we help with the harvest too? I want to go too!"
Hinata nodded slightly and signaled Leonard who was following nearby. The 'immortal' soon went to teach the children how to harvest the rice fields.
Of course, they were more playing than working. The three boys were waving their sickles tirelessly, and Chloe was sipping the rice grains one by one, as if trying to find out the problem.
Hinata and Ji Xing stood on the ridge of the field, vaguely flashing back to the last Paladin selection two years ago, no, one year and 10 months ago in their minds.
Why is it that the annual Paladin Selection should be complete, but at this moment Hinata completely ignores it, or it is impossible to care.
She remembered that time, she was also patrolling on the field ridge, supervising the selection of Paladins. At a certain moment, she saw a familiar figure from behind, her teacher, Shizue Izawa.
It was two months later that she got the news of Izawa Shizue's death and the news that he was swallowed by a monster slime. So looking at it now, she felt that the teacher might have had a premonition at that time and came to see her for the last time.
of.
Probably because he saw that his current situation was good, he left with peace of mind, and Hinata did not catch up and get to know each other. It was not that her relationship with the teacher was not good, Jing was probably the only person who gave her a warm feeling before this
.
The problem is with herself.
She was born in an unfortunate family. Her father was a man who was addicted to gambling and left a lot of debts to the family. Because her mother could not accept such violence from her father, she chose to believe in the brown religion and turned a blind eye to the affairs of the family.
ask.
The only luck is that her parents gave her a genius mind.
When she was 15 years old, she caused her father, a gambler, to disappear without anyone noticing, and gave her mother a large amount of insurance money.
Even so, her mother still ignored family affairs, so she planned to eliminate those Brown Cult members. But during that time, an accident brought her to this world.
And when she first arrived, she happened to meet villains who were greedy for her beauty, which made her distrust anyone and think that all worlds are the same.
Shizue Izawa was the only person who warmed her heart, but at that time she believed that Shizue Izawa was too 'weak' and could not change this dirty world by following her, so she chose to leave until she found someone with Luminas.
'Hope'.
It was just her previous experience that made her discover the shortcomings of lack of communication, and she felt that her personality needed to change. Looking back on the past, she also realized that she had missed a lot.
Naturally, I also thought of Shizue Izawa.
I probably regretted it. At least when I saw Teacher Jing’s back that time, I should have been more frank and chased after him and had a talk with the teacher.
So now that she saw these children who were taken care of by teachers, she couldn't help but show some tenderness, and her impression of Rimuru changed greatly.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. In the future... we must be more frank.
Hinata, who was thinking this way, glanced at the field ridge in the distance, and her movements suddenly stopped.
A familiar figure wearing an anti-demon mask was standing there, which made her feel a little dazed and shocked... Am I actually hallucinating?!
Until Ji Xing, who was beside him, stretched out his arm and said hello to the figure: "Hello."
