Chapter 3066 Time Memory

The dark curtain enveloped the Black Earl, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cramped stone room.

The room was dim, but not pitch black. On the left wall, there was a wall candle covered by a white gauze curtain. The wall candle was still burning, and a few dim flames came out from the holes in the gauze curtain.

With this little bit of light, the Black Earl could see the surrounding layout.

Wooden shelves, on which various daily necessities were placed; desks, with several boxes on the table; and the wooden bed where he was sitting at this time, with messy sheets on the bed.

There was still residual warmth on the bed, and it was obvious that he had slept on it not long ago.

No... It's not him, it's the owner of the lantern who is still sleeping here.

The Black Earl knew very well that at this moment, he was just himself in the past memory of the lantern owner. In other words, he was not the Black Earl at this moment, but "traveled" into the body of the lantern owner in his memory.

Because there was no mirror or other objects in the room, the Black Count could not see the appearance of the "lamp owner", so he reached out and touched his face.

He wanted to build the appearance of the lantern owner in his mind by blind touch.

However, as soon as the Black Count touched his cheek, he found something wrong. The lantern owner was wearing a half-face mask on his face, and the nose and above were all covered by the mask. Except for the holes for the eyes, the rest were all closed.

The Black Count wanted to forcibly pull off the mask, but he only felt a sharp pain.

The mask seemed to be branded on the face of the lantern owner, almost connected to the flesh, and could not be pulled off at all.

Even if it was really pulled off, it would only be a bloody lake of flesh, and it would be basically difficult to confirm the face.

The Black Count thought about it and temporarily gave up confirming the identity of the lantern owner, but prepared to turn around in this "memory" to see how big the area was.

And confirm why the lantern owner left this memory node.

I think the owner of the lantern left this memory node because there must be some people or things in this node that he remembers deeply.

When the Black Earl just stood up and prepared to act, he heard a noisy voice outside. It seemed that many people came outside the room.

Hearing the movement outside, the Black Earl had a guess in his mind: Perhaps, the person outside was the reason why the owner of the lantern wanted to set the memory node at this moment.

Thinking of this, the Black Earl stood up and came to the door.

He wanted to use the hole above the door to see who was outside.

However, before he could peek into the situation outside, he was pierced through the brain by a scarlet beam from outside.

The first time-space memory journey ended.

The Black Earl returned to the groom's room and was in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses from the shadow of his brain being penetrated.

So, the groom master also died in this way in the past memory?

No, I died... The groom master did not die, he must have survived, otherwise there would be no such memory.

The Black Earl sensed the time and confirmed that the time in his memory was the same as the flow of time in the outside world. Only then did he feel relieved. Because he had to leave here before the bell rang, otherwise he would be completely lost. The consistent flow of time allowed him to estimate the current time more accurately.

Because he could not leave the groom's room, and the most valuable thing in the groom's room was the memory in the lantern, the Black Earl then entered the memory of the lantern again.

This time, the Black Earl did not sit on the bed, but got up as soon as possible and wanted to open the door to see the situation outside. While those people had not come yet, he could go out and hide in advance.

However, as soon as the Black Earl opened the door, the familiar scarlet beam appeared again.

In the scarlet beam, the Black Earl seemed to be suppressed by a supreme pressure and could not even move.

Died again.

Next, the Black Earl used various methods to test, and each time ended in death.

After dying dozens of times, the Black Earl also summed up a little rule.

As long as he approached the door, he would be pierced by the scarlet beam.

Even if he didn't get close to the door, it would be pushed open by someone outside, and at that moment, the scarlet beam would still arrive as promised and shoot him to death.

Anyway, he would die no matter what.

Either he would die in advance or die two minutes later.

In short, he could only survive in the room for two minutes at most, and he would be killed by the scarlet beam in the end.

And he didn't see who the scarlet beam came from, or what the person outside looked like...

The Black Earl had "reincarnated" countless times, but he still couldn't see the situation outside. It was as if there was a mysterious law blocking his sight.

The Black Earl also tried to use his own ability to resist the scarlet beam... but it still didn't work.

This body rejected external energy, and if he wanted to use his ability, he could only use the ability of this body.

But the Black Earl knew nothing about the ability of the lantern owner, and even if he knew, he wouldn't know. So, in this space-time memory, he was like an ignorant person with his hands and feet tied and his mouth blocked, and he could only passively accept the ending of death.

But what the Black Earl could be sure of was that the owner of the lantern was definitely not dead in this experience. But the Black Earl did not know how he survived.

The Black Earl reincarnated several times in the memory of time and space. In the end, he was sure that he could not survive the scarlet beam... So, the Black Earl did not actively seek death.

Instead, he focused all his attention on the cramped house.

Perhaps, there is a secret passage in this room? That's why the lantern owner escaped?

After many reincarnations and many searches, the Black Earl has not found the secret passage yet; however, he found a scroll of notes in the box on the table.

The notes are densely written, and it is definitely impossible to read them all in a short time.

But the Black Earl doesn't care. Anyway, he has two minutes of safety time each time he reincarnates. He reads a paragraph every two minutes, and several two minutes add up to everything, and he can always finish reading it.

After reincarnation ten times, the Black Earl finally read all the contents of the notes.

The notes are recorded in the ancient language of Gumis, which is a kind of extraordinary language that was popular in the source world ten thousand years ago. It is characterized by being able to express meaning and image at the same time.

The Black Earl has also learned it, so there is no obstacle to reading it.

The name of the notes is "Hermes Practice Notes", which tells about a wizard who calls himself Hermes, the various joys and sorrows he encountered during his practice, and notes some difficulties in practice.

Judging from some notes, it is a very ordinary practice note.

But if you look at the content of Hermes's practice, you will find that this notebook is unusual.

This Hermes... is a time wizard.

To be precise, he is an apprentice of the time system. The practice records recorded in the notebook are also related to various time system abilities.

It can be known that Hermes should have a legacy. He mentioned his mentor more than once in his notes; and the notebook also recorded a lot of time system abilities he got from his mentor.

For example: Fifteen-point Eye, Seconds Libra, Continuous Slash, Time and Space Continuous Slash, Yesterday Reappearance... and so on.

These are all time system tricks.

However, Hermes did not record how to practice these time system tricks, but only recorded the names and the various problems he encountered during his own practice.

In addition, Hermes also recorded a lot of his mentor's abilities, one of which made the Black Earl feel very familiar.

In Hermes's records, this ability is described as "a miracle".

It can only be called a miracle, but it should not be a miracle. However, it seems that we can guess from this that Hermes's mentor may be close to a legend, or even a legendary wizard himself. Otherwise, Hermes should say "a legendary magic" instead of "a miracle magic".

The name of this magic is time memory.

According to Hermes's records, this magic can allow people to do whatever they want in their memories.

This reminds the Black Earl of the information he got from the lantern... The lantern has the ability to illuminate the sea of ​​memory, reflect the scenes in the memory, and do whatever they want in the memory.

This is exactly the same rhetoric.

Moreover, it is certain that the information in the lantern should be left by the owner of the lantern.

If the room in this memory also belongs to the owner of the lantern, then the owner of the lantern is most likely Hermes.

Hermes cannot use the same rhetoric to describe different magics, so the magic contained in the lantern may be "time memory"?

After the Black Earl finished reading "Hermes's Practice Notes", he continued to rummage through the room.

Unfortunately, no more valuable information was obtained.

However, under a stone grid under the bed, a dark secret passage was found... It seems that the owner of the lantern escaped from here?

So, the Black Earl tried to enter the secret passage.

But unfortunately, every time the Black Earl entered the secret passage, his memory would be ejected.

It was not an automatic exit after death, but a forced exit by the lantern.

The Black Earl was not stupid, and he quickly guessed the answer: the secret passage should be the boundary in the memory scene.

At the beginning, the owner of the lantern escaped from the secret passage.

Did he simulate this memory just to escape again? Impossible.

Since he was able to escape at the beginning, there was no need for him to simulate the situation in the secret passage.

The focus of this memory scene is still the people outside the door and the scarlet beam!

Perhaps, the owner of the lantern simulated this memory just to crack the scarlet beam, or to find the truth of being chased by someone that year?

The above is the Black Earl's imagination.

But if his imagination is correct, perhaps the scene outside should also be simulated.

In other words, this memory scene is not only as big as the hut, but also outside. But the premise is that the scarlet beam can be cracked and the people outside can be dealt with.

Although the Black Earl wanted to go outside and see if there were more opportunities outside, the scarlet beam was not something the Black Earl could crack at all. He could only stop there and reluctantly left the groom's room before the bell rang.

…

The story of the Black Earl was not only ups and downs but also long.

The reason why I said so much is to express a meaning in a tactful way: the hard-won knowledge of the time system.

The Black Earl could directly say the answer, but saying it this way would only make people feel cheap, or even take it for granted.

The Black Earl did not want to exchange knowledge for anything, but just wanted them to know the preciousness of the knowledge of the time system.

These implicit meanings were not made clear by the Black Earl, but both Angel and Dox could understand.

"In the Hermes Training Records, there is a mention of continuous slashing." Black Earl: "And the continuous slashing here, although from the external performance, it is exactly the same as the bloodline side's skills; but it is not a bloodline side skill, but a time system ability."

Although the Black Earl said so, both Dox and Angel were still a little confused. How did the time-based continuous slashing work? Why was it the time-based system?

Soon, the Black Earl gave the answer

"Continuous slashing, in the eyes of the blood-based wizards, is a special skill that can only be released after the physique and blood are up to standard. It has high requirements for the wizard's physical foundation."

"But continuous slashing is a completely different matter in the eyes of the time-based wizards. It is a kind of power intercepted from time."

In Hermes's hands, continuous slashing is recorded like this: when attacking the enemy, there is a probability of intercepting an attack of the same level, energy level, magnitude, and form from time and space.

"Intercept an attack of the same level, energy level, magnitude and form from time and space?" Dox repeated in a low voice, "Although I don't understand how to intercept power from time and space; but from the literal meaning, it means to use magic power consumption instead of blood consumption to perform continuous slashes?"

Black Earl: "You can understand it this way."

Dox whispered: "No wonder Axe was able to perform continuous slashes so easily before, it turns out that it only consumes a little magic power."

Consuming magic power to perform continuous slashes, in Dox's opinion, is too easy. If they want to learn continuous slashes on the blood side, it is a pile of foundation and has real requirements for physical fitness! Moreover, even if they meet the standards, they may not be able to perform it, which requires a certain amount of talent.

And the time wizard can cast it with a wave of his hand... This is simply unfair.

The Black Earl seemed to see Dox's resentment and said calmly: "The time-based combo is not as simple as you think. It has very strict restrictions."

"In other words, all time-based abilities have extremely strict restrictions. If the corresponding conditions are not met, it cannot be cast... Even if it is cast, there is a certain probability of backlash."

"And the time-based combo has four restrictions."

First, you must be within five meters of the enemy.

This limits the distance of the attack.

Second, the attack intercepted from time and space cannot be carried by the void, so there must be a constant material carrier.

This sentence means that you must use weapons to "closely" attack the enemy.

Third, because weapons need to carry the power of time and space, they are easily damaged, and special solid weapons need to be customized.

Fourth, the attack volume of the combo has an upper limit. If it causes space instability, it cannot be achieved.

In other words, if a single space wizard wants to use a super-level combo, he must learn how to stabilize the space. In other words, arrange a prop that can stabilize the space in advance. Otherwise, the spell cannot be cast.

The above four points must be met at the same time to release the continuous slash.

Not to mention the difficulty of these four restrictions, the fact that it forces a wizard who can attack remotely to learn to fight in close combat like a bloodline wizard is enough to show how strict the conditions for releasing the continuous slash are.
