Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1214 Several Possible Timeline Issues

Before Xia Duo left the star realm, it was because he sensed an unknown existence far beyond the scale of the plane created by Thorn behind him.

At that time, he speculated that it was likely to be the reinforcements from the natives, and Thorne and Cliff should be able to perceive the almost overwhelming and overwhelming movement.

That is to say, if Cliff chose to leave the astral world at that time, he would have left with Xia Duo, and they would also [alive] appear in the projection hall of Gilles Tower together!

If he didn't take the initiative to leave, unless he was instantly killed by the powerful presence of hunter reinforcements, but this possibility is extremely low, so we can only draw the most likely guess——

Cliff did not choose to leave immediately.

This conjecture leads to two more likely conjectures——

One is that Cliff was killed by the reinforcements of the native hunters, and the feedback was reflected on the main body, that is, the main body turned into fly ash.

But there is a big problem with this speculation, that is, even if the avatar of astral projection dies, it will not affect the main body.

Unless it is subject to some special attacks, such as the large sword in the shape of liquid metal in the hands of the hunter leader mentioned by Thorne before, or the soul attack spell.

But to Cliff, who can leave at any time, such an attack is like an ordinary person killing a high-level mage who can teleport away at any time.

It's possible, but the possibility is extremely low. If you have a strong sense of crisis, you know how to run away early.

As for the other speculation, it is very simple and has nothing to do with the aboriginal hunters. Cliff had an accident after getting rid of those aboriginal hunters.

As for what kind of accident caused Cliff's death, Xia Duo also has several possible conjectures——

One is that Cliff didn't want to waste the opportunity to go to the Ruins of Dreams accompanied by Thorne. Even though he had returned to the main plane, he still did not give up and went on to the Ruins of Dreams, and then had an accident in the Ruins of Dreams.

The other one is more of a conspiracy theory. It is basically inseparable from Thorne, and may even be related to someone from the main plane!

And when Xia Duo asked that question, Randall seemed to understand Xia Duo's meaning, "You mean that Cliff may have an accident after you left the star realm?"

"Yes!" Xia Duo nodded seriously.

He felt that the possibility of Cliff being killed by an indigenous hunter was extremely low, and it was hard for him to imagine any existence that could kill Cliff instantly, leaving him with no chance of escaping.

He basically believed that Cliff either died in the ruins of the dream, or died in some kind of conspiracy against him. If it was the latter, Thorne's suspicions were infinite!
As for why the two didn't leave the astral world at the same time, but returned at the same time (life state effect), that was the special feature of the astral world.

Even if Xia Duo stays in it for 100 years, and Cliff stays in it for 1 second, when they return, they will return to the main plane at the same time at the next moment when they set off at the same time. For the main plane, there is almost no time. elapsed.

This also means that if two people do not go to the star realm at the same time, it is almost impossible to meet in the star realm!
This is the question that made Xia Duo think about it the most.

In the past, he often wanted to meet people from the past, or people from the future, in the astral world or projected plane.

But in fact, the basis for his existence is that there is no past person in the astral world, or there is a past person in the astral world, but that past person lost the time anchor when he entered the astral world!

Correspondingly, it is impossible for him to meet people from the future in the astral world. If he could, it would mean changing the future, and the people from the future would no longer exist.

Time and space are automatically coordinated, so you won't be able to meet them directly.

If he stays in the astral world until he meets someone from the future, he will also lose the time anchor at the moment when he entered the main plane of the astral world.

In layman's terms, he can't go back to the past relative to the future, and even if he knows the future, he can't change anything through it.

Of course, these are just Xia Duo's conjectures, based on a small number of known facts and through thought experiments, a conjecture that is logically consistent but difficult to verify.

If you can meet people from the past or future, according to Xia Duo's speculation, they must come from other timelines, and this world will be more complicated and profound.

He suspects that prophecy may be using God to spy on a certain future timeline. If this is true, then God will not be affected by the timeline, and may even be beyond the timeline.

Plus, the past can be changed if his speculations are completely wrong.

Then this kind of world is even more terrifying, which means that his own existence is extremely easy to shake, maybe the current him is the result of countless changes in the timeline, but he doesn't know it!

This question is really frightening!
Xia Duo really didn't want to think too much about such issues, so after giving two speculations about Cliff's death, he completely kept silent.

The possibility of a conspiracy theory is not very high, and the possibility of a conspiracy theory involving Iolum is even smaller. With Iolum present, he is not very worried about becoming a victim of the conspiracy theory.

If it was an accident, as a senior arcanist, he wouldn't be a scapegoat.

After thinking about this, Xia Duo felt a lot more relaxed. Even though he was the person involved, he observed the handling process of several great arcanists with a bystander attitude.

……

"Lord Xiaduo, you can leave now, but please don't leave Severton until the Seven Towers announces the results. There may still be some questions for you to confirm."

"I understand." Xia Duo didn't argue, but said, "Then I will stay in the Austrian Law Federation for the time being."

"can."

After Badigal finished speaking, he signaled that Xia Duo could leave.

Xia Duo glanced at Cliff's remains lying on the ground for the last time, sighed silently in his heart, exchanged a sure look with Iolum, and then left the projection hall without looking back.

……

After Xia Duo left, Badigal and the others continued to discuss, but after many discussions, there was always one issue, which was the real cause of Cliff's death.

If this problem is not resolved, then at the critical moment when the Northland Alliance is about to be established, the consequences of this incident will be very serious.

Whether it's the people in the Seven Towers or Iolum, the expressions on their faces are more dignified, especially Schom.

Cliff's death on his turf, for whatever reason, would have had a pretty negative impact on Giles Tower.

This kind of thing happened just after taking over Gilles Tower, and Schom's displeasure was almost written on his face.

"Then what should we do now? Is anyone willing to go to the star realm to investigate?"

Schom's substantial eyes swept back and forth several times over everyone, but he didn't get any response. This situation made him suddenly feel angry.

Is this still the Seven Towers?
