Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1199 Time Cycle Plane Returns to Severton

Now that he has made a choice in his heart, Xia Duo no longer has the appetite to hang on to others, but readily agrees:

"If Lord Cliff insists that I am the prophesied 'Crimson Hero', then I am willing to go to the Ruins of Dreams, but I cannot guarantee whether I can find the so-called 'authority of death'."

Although Xia Duo said that success could not be guaranteed, at least he agreed. Hearing such an answer, a hint of joy flashed in Cliff's eyes, and together with the previous excitement, it transformed into a strange frenzy.

At this moment, even the rising sun scepter lying across his knees seemed to be affected by his state of mind, and it burst into flickering radiance.

He looked directly into Xia Duo's eyes, tried his best to control his tone, and said calmly and intimately:

"Lord Xia Duo can do his best, I believe that the crimson brave will find the right to die!"

"I hope so!"

Xia Duo nodded, and then decisively asked Cliff about the specific situation of the Dream Ruins. Although he guessed that it might be similar to the trip to the projected plane, it was still different after all.

Now that we have more understanding, we will be able to grasp more in the past.

Regarding this question, Cliff did not hesitate at all, and even began to talk about it in front of Theremin and his son: "The Ruins of Dreams is a collection of countless projection planes, but it is not a normal projection plane, but a remnant of the projection plane. Perhaps it could be called 'resonance' or 'projection of projection'.

"The internal situation is also very different from the normal projection plane. Time does not flow downstream, but a very weird state appears. When time reaches a key node, it will instantly return to the original state, and then Start all over again, endless loop!

"It should be noted that this cycle is not infinite. When it reaches a certain limit, the projected plane will instantly dissolve and merge into the star realm.

"That is to say, the time left for you to explore is limited, and none of us can determine the specific time, so you must hurry up!"

After listening to Cliff's introduction, Xia Duo suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, isn't this the plot world of some infinite novels on Earth!
Could it be that there are all such things in the dream ruins?

Or the normal projection world can actually be cycled, just because their essence cannot withstand the dissolution of the astral world, or the internal history is too long to last a cycle at all?
If this is the case, then if the civilization inside the projection plane wants to truly escape, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky!

Unless there is a projection plane that can exist forever, allowing the internal time to move forward infinitely, it is possible to escape.

But in that case, is it still a projection plane?

That's more like different branches of the main plane on the timeline, similar to parallel worlds, but is that really possible?
For some reason, Xia Duo suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, as if there was an existence in a parallel world stealing his power and essence.

cough--

Xia Duo quickly threw this bad thought out of his mind. The parallel world was still too far away from him, and he hadn't figured it out on the main plane yet. Thinking about what was there and what wasn't there would only disturb his will.

Still returning to the question of the Dream Ruins, Xia Duo asked Cliff the question he was most concerned about: "How does time pass in the Dream Ruins?"

"It's the same as the projected plane!" Cliff replied.

The same as the projected plane, that is to say, every second spent in the ruins of dreams will actually consume one second of life.

Of course, for the main plane, because it is going to explore the astral world, the real time can be ignored. This second has passed, and it may come back in the next second.

Therefore, if you go to the astral world, or any other location in the astral world (such as the projected plane) to explore, you must calculate the return time.

If you stay for too long and exceed the upper limit of your lifespan, it is better not to come back, and you will die directly when you come back.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of astral mages on the main plane is much shorter than that of normal mages, because they need to project their spirits into the astral world for a long time to search for new projection planes, or other special existences.

It is equivalent to overdrawing the future lifespan all the time.

But for Xia Duo, an occasional visit to the astral world can also be used as a life adjustment.

With his current lifespan, whether it is the natural lifespan brought about by the awakening of blood, or the use of life-extending spells, he will not lose his life just because of one or two explorations of the astral world (including the projection plane).

"Your Excellency Cliff, when are we going to leave? How do we get there?"

"If you don't need to prepare anything extra, you can start now! As for how to get to the Ruins of Dreams, of course you have to go to the Tower of Gilles!"

"Gills Tower?" Xia Duo was a little confused.

He was already prepared to be forcibly taken back to the Mage Tower by Cliff, but he didn't expect to go to the Tower of Gilles?

Isn't Cliff afraid of running away halfway?

In fact, despite Xia Duo's straightforward promise just now, if he is forcibly taken to Cliff's mage tower right here, he will definitely turn his back on the water halfway.

Among other things, at least let him get in touch with Iolum. Compared to Cliff who has no relationship and has never dealt with him, Xiaduo still trusts Iolum more.

But if it's going to Gilles Tower, there won't be too many problems.

Sure enough, after Xia Duo expressed doubts, Cliff immediately gave an explanation, but this explanation was not complete, "Yes, it is the Tower of Gilles, which involves secrets, we will talk about it on the way."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the tense and solemn state when the two first met, and said to Theremin and his son who had been sitting aside and pretending to be quail until now:
"Lord Xia Duo and I are leaving, you can do what you want!"

Hearing this, Theremin and his son hurriedly got up from their chairs, bowed and saluted, and then retreated with their heads bowed.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Cliff. Is it really so scary?

However, since Theremin and his son were so cautious when facing Cliff, even in their own mage tower, Xia Duo paid more attention to this exploration.

If he didn't find any "death authority", wouldn't Cliff go crazy?
Thinking of this, before the two left, Xia Duo hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Cliff, I want to go to the Austrian and French Federation to prepare something first. Let's meet at Giles Tower!"

Cliff froze for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

After receiving Cliff's affirmative answer, Xia Duo was determined, no matter what, go and get angry with Iolum first, at least most of the conspiracies can be ruled out.
