Chapter 1,106 Taking Care of Both 1 and 2
Thinking of the comparison of the size of the universe shown before, Hefquin finally touched the edge of the reason why someone was so worried and said: "This is what you have been trying to emphasize. If we touch this thing, the enemies we may encounter will be It is powerful as never before.”
"Finally, someone understands my worries. I also hope that this is just unfounded worry. The strength level of the universe inside is not the same as ours. But we must always prepare for the worst and be prepared for the best."
The gratifying remarks of a certain human magician put a heavy burden on everyone's hearts. Before today, they had never thought about how powerful the powerful people born in a world wider than the Lost Land would be.
Because before today, they had never set their sights on the larger and broader world. I just naively believe that what I see and come into contact with is everything. Then in such a small world, everything is arrogant.
If someone knows this idea, he will definitely think of the idiom: frog in the well. But in fact, he is thinking about another thing now.
The predicament he faced now was like a level one rookie hero still in Novice Village looking at a treasure box. There is an artifact-level prop in the treasure chest. But opening the treasure chest may cause the final boss to jump directly in front of you. That would be a plot-killing death that cannot be avoided.
Although it is possible that it will be fine. When you open the treasure chest, nothing will happen. You successfully get the artifact inside, and then everyone is happy. But someone who never believes in luck and always loses every bet doesn't want to bet on whether Lady Luck will lift her skirt this time.
If you want to use your life's luck here, you need the goddess's permission. It’s not that I want to take a gamble and call stud, and in the end I will have the perfect ending of killing the banker and player. It is more likely that you will lose your pants even if you lose.
But this whole thing was sent to the present self by my self at some point in the future. Even if the person who sent it was not him, but Pandi, the wind element lord, there would definitely be something to do with his future self. Otherwise, the wind element lord would not be looking for anyone, but he would look for a lost magician like himself.
Since it was a mission sent by me, how could I send this kind of shit without setting up a flag, but with a certain death outcome. There must be some way to break the situation, and this method cannot be achieved by chance.
Because if luck can work, it doesn’t matter who comes forward, it doesn’t have to be yourself. So how did my future self convince Fandi that the good thing of finding a magical weapon just by grabbing it on the roadside could fall on me.
Thinking of this, Lin felt all kinds of irritated and complained about what his future self would do if he sent a grain of sand of time. In this case, it would be better to just send him a guide.
I play the game by myself, but I enjoy the storyline, and I also have a bit of collecting addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder to achieve all achievements. I'm really not good at figuring out how to conquer the game on my own. Because if there are any elements that have not been collected and there is no way to look back, the unpleasant feeling will be even more serious.
At this time, Lin also realized a problem. Yes, if there is a better choice, why don't you send something more conducive to solving the problem, but send a grain of sand of time.
Even if he can win the trust of the wind element lord in the current time period, Lin believes that there will be other tokens that can do it. So, why the Sands of Time? By the way, regard it as a task reward, so that you, who has no profit and can't afford it early, are willing to jump into this pit?
Just think about it, what is the specialty of Sun Moon Lake, your hometown on Ghost Island? Beautiful scenery? No, what really made me hear it since I was a kid is "live fish for three meals", a famous dish that must be served in restaurants around Sun Moon Lake. It even evolved to eat five live fish and seven live fish in the later period, which is to make all kinds of flowers out of a fish and use them all from beginning to end.
This consistent eating habit is also reflected in various livestock and poultry. Just like a pig, you can eat the meat from the head to the tail, the blood can be eaten after coagulation, the bones can be used to make soup, and even the large intestine can be used to stuff sausages. Probably except for the fact that pig excrement has not been made into dishes, there are no parts of a pig that cannot be used in dishes.
...I have the impression that there is a place where sausages are stuffed. The important thing is that the large intestine cannot be washed too clean, otherwise the internal flavor will be lost and it will not taste good.
...think about fear!
Shake your head and get back to business. According to the nature of his urine, a grain of sand of time will be sent instead of a guide, which means that this grain of sand of time should have other uses besides being a stepping stone to gain trust in Fanyi. As a descendant of Onigashima, he is very particular about doing two things at the same time, such as touching the cockroaches and washing his pants at the same time. Live fish won't taste good if you don't eat it three times, and even roasting a whole pig is definitely not a skill!
So the question is, what is the other function of the Sands of Time?
Make a wish? It's the same rough gameplay as when the time hourglass is in the hands of the wind element lords.
How can this be! Things that can be solved by making a wish can be solved by finding a pig instead of doing it yourself. What's more, making a wish will consume the Sands of Time, and it's not certain how much it will consume. In order to make one grain...maybe more than one grain of Sand of Time, more Sands of Time may have to be consumed. This kind of business that loses money and doesn't even make a profit is something that no normal person would do.
So what is the purpose of this sand of time being handed over to him?
The hands folded in the sleeves of the Xuanwu robe were holding the sand of time and playing with it. If I were the size of a grain of sand before time travel, I wouldn't be able to play with it. Even if I hold it in my hand, I would be afraid that it would fall off in a blink of an eye or blown by the wind.
However, the peculiar properties of the Sand of Time allow it to adsorb an object on its own and cannot be shaken off even if it is tried. Not to mention that although it is small in size, it will always attract attention involuntarily, and it is not easy to ignore it.
Suddenly an idea came into my mind. Again, the example of the Terminator is that the warriors and Terminators who were sent from the future to the present have become part of history themselves, rather than being an existence that intrudes, disrupts the normal operation of the world, and is excluded.
Maybe there is a struggle and confrontation between humans and Skynet in the movie, but if there were no humans and robots coming from the future, would there be no dead people on the earth? Is every corner of the world so peaceful that we don’t pick up lost items on the road or close our doors at night? Are we moving towards a world of great harmony?
When discussing the various possibilities of time travel, one school of thought is that as in the movie "Back to the Future", when the past is changed, the present and the future will change accordingly. Another school of thought is 'fatalism', which simply means that no matter who does what, the corrective power of fate will lead the future to the same outcome.
More specifically, people who believe in fatalism believe that historical events can be changed, but general trends cannot be changed. For example, if Wang Mang usurps the Han Dynasty, even if he is killed at the end of his life, he will only become Li Mang usurper of the Han Dynasty, Chen Mang usurper of the Han Dynasty, etc. The Western Han Dynasty will definitely be doomed anyway.
So what role does this special sand of time in my hand play in its history and in the events I am currently experiencing? Allowing it to emerge from countless possible futures to the specific future that successfully transforms galaxies into the Sands of Time.
