Chapter 493 Sands of Time
Herag took the parchment and looked at the relevant procedures for the Sand of Time. There were several spell marks on it. Only very important items would have these things.
After signing his name, he took the small hourglass.
The top and bottom of the hourglass were made of a kind of black wood. The middle looked like glass, but after a careful inspection, it could be seen that it was not glass, and no one knew what material it was made of.
A grain of sand floated irregularly in the hourglass, which looked ordinary and nothing special.
Herag pinched the hourglass with two fingers and asked, "Mr. Ponte, how do I use this Sand of Time?"
This was the first time Herag had come into contact with the Key of Rules, and he didn't understand how to use it.
He heard that the Key of Rules had different forms and different ways of use.
Some Key of Rules could be eaten directly, but some were very troublesome to use. Many Key of Rules even needed to be mixed with corresponding potions.
Ponte smiled and said, "The method of using the Sand of Time is very simple. First, find a quiet place, adjust your mood, and try to calm down. Then pour magic power into the Sand of Time, and then it will help you comprehend the rules of time. I still want to remind you that it is very difficult to comprehend the rules of time successfully. Few people can comprehend it successfully with a grain of Sand of Time, and most people fail."
"This grain of Sand of Time has been lying in the secret library for three years, and no one has ever exchanged it. It's not because they don't contribute enough, but because it is too difficult to comprehend the rules of time. Even with the assistance of Sand of Time, it is difficult to succeed. So I tell you in advance, so that you don't feel frustrated. Failure is normal."
Herrag nodded: "Thank you Mr. Ponte for reminding me."
Herrag had learned about it before, and knew that the rules of space and time are two very special rules, and they are also the two most difficult rules to comprehend.
He just didn't expect that this grain of Sand of Time had been in the secret library for three years, and he was thinking about exchanging it quickly to avoid being preempted by others.
Now it seems that he was overthinking, and ordinary people would not exchange the Sand of Time at all.
This thing is very expensive, and the success rate is still very low. It is very likely that you will get nothing by spending 4,000 contribution points.
4,000 contribution points are very difficult for most wizards to accumulate.
If Herag knew this information in advance, he would probably have to consider whether to exchange it.
If he can't succeed in understanding this grain of sand, then 4,000 contribution points will be wasted.
"Good luck, my friend. It is said that people who feel the rules of time through the sand of time may have the opportunity to see some things that happened in the past or the future." Ponte smiled.
"Past or future? If I see things in the future, will it definitely happen?" Herag asked.
Ponte thought: "Not necessarily. If you see the future picture, it is just something that will happen according to the current trajectory of fate. But the trajectory of fate can also be changed, but it is difficult."
"I understand, thank you." Herag thanked.
After Ponte left, Herag took the sand of time to the meditation room, meditated for a while to adjust his state, and then opened his eyes.
Herag looked at the hourglass in front of him, where a grain of sand was sinking and floating.
He inputted magic power into the hourglass and poured it into the grain of sand.
At first there was no reaction, so Herag continued to input some magic power into it.
Still no reaction, Herag wondered if his 4,000 contribution points would be wasted.
This grain of time sand was very special. No matter how much magic power was input into it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any movement.
Herag did not give up, and continued to increase the horsepower to input magic power into it, and the magic power in his body was continuously poured into it.
"Remaining magic power: 70%."
"Remaining magic power: 60%."
...
"Remaining magic power: 20%."
Herag watched the magic power in the data panel continue to decrease, and the time sand still had no reaction.
When he was considering whether to call the magic power stored in the dot matrix, the time sand finally changed.
The sand of time began to emit some golden light. It originally floated up and down in the hourglass, but now it stopped moving, as if it had solidified inside.
Herag noticed that something was wrong around him. He turned around and found that he was no longer in the meditation room. The surroundings had become a scene of flowing light and color.
At this moment, the surroundings seemed to be a colorful paint poured together and painted on a wall.
Soon, these colors began to change.
Pictures flashed quickly in front of Herag's eyes. He saw a thin child curled up on a wooden bed and climbed up tremblingly.
"This is... myself, when I was in the castle."
Herag looked familiar and quickly realized that this was when he was in Baron Buck's castle.
The pictures in front of him flashed quickly, and Herag found that these were all his past experiences.
Lillian, Dino, the ship, the Moonlight Glade, Malcolm...
These images flashed by quickly, just like recalling Herag's first half of life. The images flashed by so fast that Herag could only catch some fragments with his eyesight, and most of the images could not be seen clearly.
The image quickly came to the present, when Herag had just walked into the meditation room.
Herag opened his eyes wide and continued to watch, and the image began to flash backwards.
He knew that from here on, the future might happen.
The images flashed very quickly, and Herag occasionally captured some daily images, which looked no different.
But then, the style of the painting changed.
Herag saw a ruined city, a large part of the tall city wall collapsed, and the wizard tower in the city also collapsed, leaving only half of the tower smoking on the ground.
Houses in other places have become ruins, and there are countless dead bodies on the ground.
"Is this... Silvermoon City?"
Herag was a little unsure, because these city ruins have been completely changed, and it is difficult to see the original appearance.
But those wizard towers show that this must be a city inside the Land of Dawn. The wizard towers in most places in the Land of Dawn look the same, so they are easy to identify.
In these ruins, Herag only saw the iconic building of the wizard tower, and could only infer where this place was through this.
"What happened?"
Herag was a little confused. No matter where this place is in the Land of Dawn, it must be a big deal if this happened.
This scene shows that a city has been almost destroyed. What kind of power can destroy a city in the Land of Dawn?
