Xifa, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, heard a sound coming from his leg.
He calmly ended his meditation, then opened his eyes and looked down at the place where the sound came from.
At the same time, Alice, who woke up, slowly opened her eyes.
The two people's eyes intertwined like this...
Luna's potions are very reliable, and even the mildest potions take effect far faster than expected.
According to Xifa's observation, there is no difference from the energetic state when he first met him.
"Xifa! Thank you for your hard work!"
The girl's ignorant eyes bloomed with brilliant luster the moment she saw Xifa.
Alice sat up and thanked Xifa energetically, and then the two of them helped each other stand up.
"Alice, what is this place? How do we move on?"
Walking to the vines with Alice, Xifa looked at the unkind vines in front of her and asked softly.
"This was once a wizard tower to deal with wars. With the fall of the kings, the remaining dragon clan no longer has intelligence."
"Time has passed and creation has lost the protection of intelligent life. It is difficult to remain the same under the erosion of the river of time."
"If you want to exit, it's at the top."
"On the top floor, there is a special teleportation magic circle."
"We can reach the outside of the temple most easily through this."
…
Well--
topmost…
Xifa looked up and saw that it was at least a thousand meters away from the top.
The stair passages are intermittent, and visually speaking, there are many places where I have nowhere to rely on.
But it doesn't matter, I have empty boots.
This time, it’s okay to take Alice with you and fly up slowly, right?
Xifa told Alice his plan, and then expressed that he wanted to hear the girl's opinion.
There doesn't seem to be any danger here.
Alice showed an incomprehensible smile.
"Xifa, guess what, in the previous canyon, if I didn't stop you from flying across the crack, what consequences would you encounter?"
Um?
Xifa didn't care about this at first, but after hearing what Alice said.
Memories that have been left behind are revisited.
No problem, there are mountains and forests on the opposite side.
Missing a teleportation point is nothing more than walking more distance.
Although Tiamat is now showing signs of breaking through the seal, so many years have passed.
There's not much difference in a day or two, right? Besides, Alice is still in the mood to play with herself now.
Xifa glanced at Alice. The girl seemed to have guessed Xifa's thoughts and shook her head gently with a smile on her face.
"Mind you, mirror."
Mirror?
The picture in the mirror is a mirror image...
Xifa's hand stroking her chin suddenly paused.
"understood?"
After noticing something strange about Xifa, Alice knew that Xifa understood what she meant.
Xifa nodded slightly in reply.
If we say that what I first encountered in the castle were infinite corridors and spatial distortion.
So in the canyon, what you will most likely encounter is space folding.
In other words, taking the center of the canyon as the dividing line, passing through it, you will arrive at the mirror space.
No, that's not right either...
Mirror space, what a big project it would be.
Xifa suddenly woke up.
He understands.
But it is difficult to describe simply by expressing it.
So Xifa picked up a stone and expressed his opinion to Alice with the help of his own arm.
"If you say, my arm is the dividing line of the canyon."
Xifa slowly lowered the stone on his arm
"The rocks are us, and we come to the canyon boundary."
"If we keep going, I guess after a certain distance."
At this time, the stone has reached the bottom of the arm.
"At that time, if we continue to move forward, it will be closer to the center."
He said that he was moving forward, but the stone had already reached his arm from under his arm.
"After a few times, I will definitely notice something is wrong. At that time, I will probably want to retreat."
"But I will be helpless to find that as long as I step back, I will always return to the starting position."
After the demonstration, Xifa put the stone aside, its mission had been completed.
"Yes! As expected of you!"
Alice clapped her hands in an exaggerated way to express her praise.
"As long as we are close to the center of the canyon, we will oscillate and move around there. But you are wrong, that is, if we retreat, we will also oscillate and move."
"If you want to get out of there, there is only one point."
"That means your body size is larger than the range of the distorted space."
Obviously, I can't do it myself.
I can't transform into an Animagus now.
"Then here..."
Fortunately, Alice was with him, Xifa patted his chest in fear.
"Nothing! You won't be trapped here, but without me, you can only leave from the top of the tower and walk to the outside of the temple."
"It's not far. It will take you half a day to run."
…
Xifa heard a black line.
This run was probably at an all-out speed...
"If you can help me... would you like to explain what kind of magic you cast before?"
"Didn't you say that you can't use magic easily?"
Xifa looked serious and asked the girl.
"I...I didn't release magic!"
Xifa's eyes looked like you were kidding me.
Alice gritted her teeth and retorted angrily.
"Really! I didn't cast magic! You don't have to worry about me!"
Seeing that the girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, Xifa took a step back.
"I can't tell you how it works, but I can tell you its effect."
Seemingly seeing a hint of disappointment in Xifa's eyes, Alice decided to reveal something more.
"Do you know what the altar I was at looks like now?"
Xifa shook his head.
"That's what it looks like!"
Alice pointed to the corroded floor tiles under her feet.
Xifa was startled...
"I have the ability to restore the objects I touch to their former glory!"
"In other words, although the altar is now in tatters, there was always a period of time in the past when it was intact."
"My ability is to pull it from the past timeline to the present."
"Of course, there are limits. As long as I stop using the ability, it will return to its current appearance for up to twenty seconds."
"There is a price too! Generally speaking, it takes a lot of time to pull an object from the past to the present. But here, it is the kingdom of dragons, the kingdom of the master of time and space! The price to pay for using magic will be much smaller."
…
Xifa understood that the help Alice could provide him was really incredible.
As of now, everything here is in dilapidated condition.
But Alice is able to restore some of the mechanisms to their original state.
This marks.
If it were in the game!
You will not get stuck due to losing mission props.
