Following the black man into the door, Paimon was right as he said, they walked into the "Magic Alley".

I didn't expect that there was a whole new world inside this shabby appearance.

Passing through the quaint corridors, you can see stoves everywhere emitting a faint scent of Buddhist incense.

Master Gu Yi is indeed not a pauper. These incense burners are worth a lot of money. Each one is made of rosewood. Just looking at them makes Lin Ze feel that they are extraordinary and precious.

"This is the Master's temple." The black man introduced it to the two of them in a friendly manner.

"Wow, it's so big here."

Paimon looked around, his face full of surprise: "I didn't expect there could be room for so many people here."

Along the way, they met many people who were dressed like black people, and when they saw the black people leading the way, they would bow and nod to them.

"They are all disciples of the master, and they came to Kamartekhi to study."

The black man continued to explain: "Every mage here is taught by the master himself."

"Wow, Master Ancient One must be a well-respected and good wizard, otherwise he wouldn't have so many students."

Paimon exclaimed.

"Of course, Master knows everything. I have never met anyone with more knowledge than her."

Black people seem particularly proud and proud.

“Know everything?!”

Paimon tilted her head, and she lay on Lin Ze's back and whispered in his ear: "Could it be that Master Ancient One is the Nashida of this world?"

Lin Ze shook his head.

If this Ancient Master really knows everything, then Lin Ze really has some questions he wants to ask her.

He thought about it and opened the game taskbar.

The paradox of time

[Task Description: Traveler, time is not obvious in you. With such a long life, do you feel a little confused during your journey? What does time really mean?

Is time a taboo? Or salvation? During your journey in Teyvat, your friends have given you a certain understanding of time, but is that all?

When you step into this world again, go find the answer, maybe you will gain something new.]

At first, Lin Ze thought this task was very simple. People in this world have never stopped exploring time, and there are many analyses of time in various literary works.

Lin Ze thought that he could find the answers in the book by reading these documents, and this task was simply an easy one.

But in fact, he was overthinking it. The more ambiguous the task was, the harder it was to find clues. Apart from building the Chen Ge Pot, he spent all his time reading books, but the progress of the task was still at 0%.

It was only then that he realized that perhaps the strategy of reading books in the beginning was wrong, but for a moment Lin Ze could not think of a better way to complete the task.

Since this Ancient Master is so powerful, maybe he can really get the answer to time.

"Master Ancient One and Mr. Zhongli are inside, please come in."

The black man led Lin Ze and Paimeng to the door of a room. He knocked on the door and pushed it open after receiving a response.

The room is not big, with a table, a few chairs, some candlesticks and decorative vases. The furnishings in the room are also very simple.

There were two people sitting at the low table in the middle, each holding chess pieces of the same color, and they were concentrating on the game.

"Ah, you're here."

Hearing the voice, Zhongli turned around and looked at them, and greeted the two of them: "Come in and take a seat. Master, please allow me to introduce you. This is the traveler Kong, and this is Kong's partner Paimon."

He introduced Lin Ze and the other person to Gu Yi sitting opposite him.

"Master Ancient One, is she a woman? I thought the all-knowing wizard would have a face full of wrinkles, gray hair, and a long beard, but I didn't expect her to be so young!"

Paimon left Lin Ze's back and flew into the air.

Since Zhongli was here, she didn't need to hide anything anymore. Sure enough, when Gu Yi saw Paimon flying, he didn't show any surprise. Instead, he smiled and invited them to sit down.

A girl who should be the apprentice of Master Ancient One took away the chessboard and placed a few cups of tea on the table in front of Lin Ze and Paimon.

"It's nice to meet you, a traveler from afar. I'm sure you have a lot of questions to ask me, but I can't explain this time issue in a short time. Let's not rush and try this cup of tea?"

Lin Ze:!!!

How does she know? !

Did Zhongli say something?

impossible.

Lin Ze couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhongli, who gently shook his head at him.

Uh... I also think it's impossible. Information like games and tasks are the deepest secrets to him and can never be leaked. Then how did this Ancient One know that he would ask questions about time in the future?

Suddenly, Lin Ze looked at Gu Yi and had an absurd guess in his mind.

he.....

Am I dreaming now?

Could it be that Paimon really was right?

This Ancient One is the 'Nashida' of this world? !

Could it be that he has asked Master Ancient One questions about time countless times in his dreams?

This is really terrifying when you think about it.

“This is not a dream.”

Gu Yi smiled at him.

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. After saying it, Lin Ze got goosebumps all over his body.

"Well, this tea is delicious."

Paimon held the cup and exclaimed, "Eh? Traveler, why are your hands shaking?"

Because I'm scared.

Lin Ze held the cup and gave Gu Yi an awkward smile, then hid behind Zhongli under the other's gentle gaze.

This trick really works.

Leaning against Zhongli's warm body, Lin Ze suddenly felt at ease.

Zhongli has a good posture, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Lin Ze was distracted accidentally and didn't notice that when he leaned over, the man sitting there paused and was stunned for a moment.

Then he sat up straighter.

Zhongli: Hmm...should we tell the Traveler?

All the tea in his cup just spilled onto my stool.
