Chapter 531 The Most Precious Thing in the Universe
According to the text on the wall of the Libra Doll Ruins, as long as the Libra Doll is rotated at high speed in the center of the magic circle, the most precious thing in the universe - time - can be controlled.
Zhou You did watch that episode a long time ago and had a certain impression of this time machine.
But to be honest, he felt that this thing was more like the product of the author's self-indulgence. Those screenwriters who claim to know what the audience wants to see have always been forced to do it.
Nevertheless, at this moment in Padiya, there might be such a "time machine"...
"Must it be the high-speed rotation of the Libra Doll?"
Hearing Zhou You's interpretation of the ancient text in the ruins, Shang Zhi couldn't help but think: "As far as I know, the Libra Doll can only be seen occasionally in the desert in the Hoenn region. I'm afraid it is related to the ruins of the sealed giant there. Does this mean that the ancient Hoenn people a thousand years ago are related to the super ancient civilization?"
"It's possible, but not necessarily."
Zhou You shook his head. Who can say for sure about such things?
Moreover, for archaeologists, they should not believe completely when interpreting ancient texts.
The super-ancient humans who left texts and murals on the walls of the ruins must have some purpose, and their purpose may not be completely well-intentioned.
Not only that, the ancients also had limitations in their understanding of things. Even if they subjectively believed that what they said was objective facts, it did not mean that their observations were true.
"Then what can we believe?" Eden looked at the time machine in confusion.
According to Qiao Qiao's words, all history was covered with a veil.
This seems to be called historical nihilism?
Zhou You chuckled and said, "My suspicion has not reached that level. The key point is not to listen to one side and believe in it, and to have preconceived ideas. Evidence is the basis for describing history."
Hearing this, Shang Zhi's excitement about discovering the super-ancient civilization ruins and time machine calmed down.
He began to think about an extremely important question-if this group of super-ancient people really invented the time machine, where are they now?
With such a powerful power, why is there almost no news now?
"That's the problem. In theory, a civilization that controls a time machine can never be destroyed by accident." Zhou You affirmed, which was why he had doubts. This was as ridiculous as someone who had the ability to stop time or predict the future and delete time being beaten up. "Oh, you keep thinking about all that. Why don't we try it ourselves?" After saying that, Eden ran to the center of the magic circle without fear: "The poet hasn't been to the desert ruins yet, and there shouldn't be a Libra oppa, so I'll try to see if other elves can rotate at high speed." As he spoke, he turned into a brown-blue ball and rotated at high speed on the spot. However, that was not any move... It was just chasing its tail and spinning in circles. Shang Zhi: "..." After all, "High-speed rotation" is a relatively niche move. No matter how well Zhou You planned his itinerary, he couldn't predict this sudden demand. Ten seconds later, Eden retreated from the center of the magic circle in a daze. At least it really doesn't work to just turn around. "Then let's go to the desert to find a Libra doll that can rotate at high speed?" Shang Zhi suggested.
Anyway, the two of them will pass by Zijin City sooner or later, so there is no rush.
"I plan to stay here and study the magic circle for a while."
Looking at the unknown ancient text on it, Zhou You thought: "If we can understand its principle, maybe we can activate it without the Libra doll."
According to Eden's scan of the surrounding area through "supernatural power", this pedestal is not a mechanical creation, and there is no mechanism connected to it around it.
In other words, this so-called time machine only works through the inscription on it.
It's just like a real magic circle, which is too much nonsense.
Although according to the TV plot, there are really magicians in this world... Xiaozhi even turned into Pikachu.
Seeing this, Shang Zhi didn't say much, just smiled and said: "Then I'll take my leave first, and we'll have a chance to travel together in the future."
Although it was just the first meeting, he didn't think the other party was deceiving him.
This kind of trust is extremely rare for an adventurer who has been traveling for many years. Perhaps he was moved by the other party's singing and kindness in the rainstorm.
In this case, he might as well arrive in the desert as soon as possible to find desert ruins and Libra dolls.
After Shang Zhi left, Zhou You carefully studied the engravings on the pedestal.
It seems that the engravings on it are not words, but some ancient symbols that he can't understand at all.
Because of this, even he finds it difficult to interpret it as quickly as usual.
"Will Zekrom know the words on the magic circle?"
Eden suddenly remembered the big man in the team who had not appeared for a long time.
Zekrom: Of course I can understand it, and I also know how to use it.
"..."
"..."
Shang Zhi seemed to have left a little too early.
For some reason, Giratina seemed to have no reaction to the giant dragon in the pure white Poké Ball, as if it had known about the other party's existence.
In the past, it did occasionally watch the war caused by the black and white dragon for fun.
"But didn't Reshiram say that you don't know the characters of other regions? Could it be that the symbols on it are some kind of universal runes?"
Zhou You secretly complained in his heart, he couldn't really use magic, although he was indeed a magician.
"Not entirely, in the more distant past, when various regions were still on the same continent, we can basically understand the characters."
Although the black, white and gray dragons were elves that appeared only 2,500 years ago, the giant dragons that they were predecessors of came from the more distant past.
Compared to ancient times, the so-called super-ancient knowledge is their strong point.
"Let me see... Qiao Qiao, do you want to try the effect of this time machine?"
Eden began to sympathize with Shang Zhi. As long as he was not in a hurry to leave, he could get the opportunity to travel through time and space.
By the way, since Zekrom can understand the principle of the time machine, can I learn and understand its principle and apply it to my own moves?
"Of course I thought about it, but how to do it specifically?" Zhou You didn't notice the strange ideas of his little fox, and asked in confusion, "Is this really a time machine?"
After hearing this, Zekrom was silent for a long time, and then slowly explained: "The specific principle cannot be explained in a short time, but you just need to stand on it, I can operate this thing."
Zhou You had to climb onto the pedestal with Eden.
After a while, a burst of energy burst out from the memorial ball, and the magic circle immediately emitted a light that surrounded Zhou You, Eden, and Giratina.
The next moment, as the energy and magic circle operated to the maximum intensity, everything inside the light disappeared in place...
By the way, Libra Doll can't learn to rotate at high speed at all. It turns out that the little girl who traveled through time and space in the animation is also a magician.
