Chapter 1102: Wishing Technique
Although in previous studies on so-called time, countless parallel worlds were used to represent the past, present and future, thereby refuting the definition of the existence of time. But this is from the perspective of a third party, and only by knowing the development process of countless parallel worlds without interfering with each other can we criticize the matter of time travel.
What if what you do after time travel is part of history?
It's like that classic movie someone knew before time travel, the first episode of The Terminator in Hollywood. The male protagonist was sent from the future to the past by their human commander. In name, he protected his mother, but in fact, he had his father send his semen thousands of miles away, so that he could be born. This is not a time and space paradox, but this is a historical event that is bound to happen.
In the same way, if in the past war, the wind elemental elves had used the time hourglass to influence the outcome of the war. Not to mention whether the user will remember the difference between the two worlds before and after the change. Others should be at a loss and only know that things should develop this way.
However, the discussion of whether the timeline is an open loop or an infinite loop is put aside for the time being. The most important thing at hand is still on the time hourglass that Fan Di took out.
After getting permission, Lin took the glass ball containing the hourglass of time. I didn't notice it from a distance, but after close contact, I discovered that this 'glass ball' was not a glass ball in the actual sense at all, but a crystallized product of extremely concentrated magical energy. In other words, the ball itself is an 'item' embodied by magic.
It is not uncommon for magic to materialize. The most famous one is Mordenkainen's Sword. The main purpose of getting rid of the 'container' that carries magic and embodying magic into physical objects is to better utilize the effectiveness of magic. But the disadvantage is also quite obvious, that is, in order to maintain the existence of magic, magic power needs to be continuously consumed. Therefore, this type of magic will have a time limit.
The wind element lords spent a lot of effort to wrap the magic ball around the time hourglass. In addition to protecting the hourglass, its greater role is to seal this peculiar hourglass. To be more precise, it is to keep the sands of time in a 'still' state.
It is asserted that the Sands of Time will need to remain still, because the gift from the future in Lin's hands is actually always functioning. What the specific function is, Lin has not yet confirmed. But it has greatly alleviated the abnormalities in his body and prevented him from the disaster of multi-dimensional collapse coming so soon.
Speaking of which, could this be considered an accident, or was it done deliberately by the unknown planner in the future?
If the Sands of Time are in the hands of others and there is no good container to store them, I am afraid that for those who carry them with them, it will be a poison with no solution.
But in his own hands, it became a good medicine to prevent him from dying so quickly. This was also the reason why Lin Hui was minding his own business, instead of planning to leave directly after getting the host body of the wind elemental spirit.
Since the time hourglass was protected, Lin certainly wouldn't take things out and fiddle with them hurriedly.
Because this glass ball was handed over to him with all kinds of reluctance and caution. Treating the ball with caution is also a sign of respect for the other party. At least when I encounter something I don't understand, there is someone I can ask, instead of offending someone.
After just asking about its origins and past experience, Fanyi couldn't tell any more information.
Although the wind elemental lord who guards the eye of the wind has always kept the hourglass of time, and the wind elemental is also known as the elemental elves who are best at magic, in fact their research strength is not as good as any magic research-focused in the land. Magician. Elemental elves use magic more to rely on talent and rely on instinct to do things, rather than delving into the essence of magic and then extending various methods of use.
And their use of the time hourglass is so crude that someone doesn't know how to evaluate it.
The wind element lords who have always kept it regard the hourglass of time as a kind of wishing device. Unlock the sealing magic wrapped in the outer layer, then turn the hourglass upside down, let it start flowing, and make the wish you want to achieve. Depending on the difficulty of the wish, part of the Sands of Time will disappear, and then the wish will come true.
There is also a similar magic in the magic knowledge spread in the mysterious land - wish making. The wish-making technique will also consume varying amounts of power according to the difficulty of the wish. However, the wish spell can be revoked, and has a limited range, and may even be cracked by other magicians using strong methods.
However, the wish fulfilled by using the Sands of Time is irreversible and cannot be overturned, and its scope can be said to be the entire world. And except for the wish-maker himself, no one will notice that reality has been rewritten. And this rewriting will go deeper into the causal relationship between the past and the future, and everything will be rewritten to conform to the origin and development of the desire.
Simply put, wishing is like telling a big lie. Of course bystanders can see it clearly; even if they are in the middle of the game, the person involved will occasionally feel the illogical anomaly. But if you use the Sands of Time to make a wish, things will become the situation that 'should happen' without any flaws.
Everyone present felt quite incredible about such a magical effect, and even had some doubts. Even Lin is the same, but he is also the fastest person to believe it.
No reason, just because magic also emphasizes equivalent exchange. And what is the material of the Sand of Time? Not surprisingly, it was a magic item condensed from an entire galaxy. In comparison, the Philosopher's Stone created with the formation of a country that sacrificed 100,000 human lives is not even worthy of being counted against the Sands of Time.
Think about fear.
In addition to this crude usage, the successive wind element lords who guarded the eye of the wind tried to study the hourglass of time and developed more uses. But because the items are too precious, and since they obtained this prop, they have only continued to consume it without being able to replenish it, and it is even less possible to use it for any magic experiments.
So if you ask them how familiar they are with the hourglass of time, they may not be more familiar with it than Lin, who they saw for the first time today.
Since he couldn't get any more information from Fan Di, Lin certainly began to study the time hourglass in his hand. Next to them, Fen and Juan were also thinking about it.
But Fen didn't have the need to make a wish, so she just thought about it without having anything to do, and didn't bother to hold this thing in her hands. Juan was jealous, but he knew his own business, and he couldn't handle this thing because it was hot. So I just wanted to relieve my eye addiction and didn’t think much about anything else.
Seeing the three magicians with different expressions, they were studying seriously. Hefquin, who is also a talented researcher in magic, is not lagging behind. He weighs his feet and wants to see something from the hourglass of time.
It's a pity that although she is an outlier among the original earth elemental lords, she is a metal person who is better at using magic than many gem people. Her proficiency is not limited to elemental magic, but she has to step into a time realm that she has never touched before. It's a bit strenuous.
However, the hourglass of time encased in a glass ball also had parts that were familiar to Hefquin. In particular, someone reminded me of the unknown magic formations that make up all of this. In fact, there is a considerable amount of repetition, just like the programming language and circuit structure used by robots. Therefore, the twin-tailed mechanical girl planned to use a robot-specific method to try to analyze the props in front of her.
But as soon as her eyes illuminated the laser light used for scanning and positioning, Lin took action to stop her.
