Chapter 170 Time Dragon’s Lair! Great prophecy
In the demiplane.
A bucket of water, a bucket of lime and a bucket of sand were suspended beside Xiao En. Invisible hands lifted these casting materials to his side, and in front of him was a simple repaired road. dirt road. Not far away is a row of crude mud houses. The mud was all dug from beside the lake and shaped and piled using simple molds. They look a bit like the old adobe houses from the 1950s and 1960s. Yvonne Tanner and others selected some skilled craftsmen from the refugees around the city and asked them to repair a mud road in half a day, and then used the remaining labor to build adobe houses.
This work is very simple. Just shape the soil into mud bricks, then pile them up to outline the outline of the house, and finally repair them. The stickiness of the soil will automatically stick to the water.
——Turn mud into stone [Spell Level Up]!
Xiao En's figure was suspended half a meter above the ground. As the casting materials behind him were consumed, the mud road in front of him turned into hard sandstone bit by bit. The casting materials for this spell are sand, lime and water. The stone created is a soft stone, which can be transformed into a harder stone with additional casting blessings. But there is no need to do this now. Xiao En is just building a place for them to stay. The future layout of the demiplane will definitely need to be re-planned.
A hard rock road surface emerged. As the magic energy expanded, the nearby mud houses turned into relatively simple bungalows one after another.
——"Turn mud into stone (5th level spell): This spell can permanently turn mud or quicksand into soft stone. Each casting level can affect a cubic area of about three meters on a side."< br>
Xiao En's current spellcasting level is 19, and one cast can cover an area of nearly sixty meters.
Less than one-fifth of the original magic power in his body was consumed, and rows of native bungalows were completed. This is because there is not enough sand in the demiplane. If the house is directly piled with sand and then used to turn mud into stone, the construction efficiency will be much faster.
It only took Xiao En one day to build a shelter for these refugees. I have to say that Faye's construction ability is too powerful.
"Master."
Succubus Veronica transformed into a beautiful girl. She quickly came to Xiao En, handed over a list and said : "The list of these refugees has been completed."
"Including their age, gender, previous occupation, craftsmanship, education received, etc."
"Yvonne -Tanner They have developed a lot of followers.”
Under the lonely peak of the demiplane, the priests of the Church of Holy Terra have built a simple altar, with only one shrine on it. Belief in Holy Terra does not require any camp requirements, and you do not even need to have devout faith. Words of faith are enough.
After joining the Holy Church of Terra, these refugees will receive a living supply funded by the church, and then some simple jobs will be arranged according to their abilities.
The priests of Terra will carefully examine each believer and ultimately select those with talent to train as potential extraordinary beings.
Xiao En nodded lightly and said: "I understand."
"You will assist in the management of this place for the time being. Those who are willing to stay will be well placed. Those who are not willing to stay will be settled after a period of time. Time to send them back to Dagon ”
His demiplane can't accommodate the population of more than 100,000 for the time being, and half of it will be enough.
I am afraid that many of these people are unwilling to return to Dagon after the disaster. Xiao En's demiplane is undoubtedly safer, but if they stay here, they will be temporarily isolated from the outside world and become The people who follow Xiao En.
——Creation (9th ring spell)!
After dealing with the affairs of the demiplane and arranging manpower to resettle these refugees, Xiao En came to the edge of the demiplane. Along with countless condensed gravels, the 9-ring creation technique of the spiritual path Accelerate the expansion progress of the entire demiplane.
To accommodate such a large population, it is not enough to have a place for them to stay, but also to form a virtuous ecological cycle in the demiplane.
Xiao En doesn't need to worry about food. After all, the three sisters of the Lake Fairy have the Druid's spell list. The entire demiplane has already arranged a 'fertile' field in the early planning, and only one or two thousand farmers are enough to maintain it. Food is self-sufficient. However, these people also have to arrange work. Just eating grains is okay for the time being. In the long run, animal husbandry must be developed in the demiplane. A certain amount of meat is a necessity, and extraordinary people on the warrior path have very high nutritional needs. high.
Xiao En plans to select a thousand of these people first and promote them to become extraordinary beings in the warrior, ranger and thief paths.
Ring the city.
After Xiao En returned to the ringed city again, he immediately felt the breath of natural energy. He saw the figures of druids among the ruins of the ruins. It seemed that the Zindele region had finally sent people over. , led by a forest sage, more than a dozen extraordinary beings of the druid path are arranging holy rituals to purify the plague pollution in the ringed city. This once prosperous city has now become a dead city, with dilapidated ruins everywhere and ghosts lingering at night.
Haunted.
In an area shrouded in negative energy, haunting is almost inevitable.
“It looks like it will take at most a week or two for this land to be purified.”
Xiao En saw the demon hunters from the Crow’s Nest among the crowd, and there seemed to be some among them. The traces of the Night Watchmen were very familiar to me because of an unusually burly figure. Jason Tangel, this extraordinary person of the barbarian path, was also in the team of demon hunters.
"Have the Night's Watch merged with the Witcher?"
Shaun saw some Night's Watchmen wearing Witcher's cloaks. There was only one familiar face among these Night's Watchmen, and the others It is possible that the Night's Watch came from elsewhere in the Kingdom of Dorne. The higher-ups of the Path of Death should be planning to reorganize the demon hunter heritage. Not surprisingly, other Night Watchmen will come to support them. Because the undead natural disaster has not completely ended, the undead creatures around the city have been cleaned up, but the death energy spread by the ritual has awakened the corpses in the tombs in the surrounding area.
Those low-level skeleton zombies can also be dealt with by ordinary people, but they must not be bitten, otherwise the corpse poison will be very troublesome, and they will most likely be left to the demon hunters to clean up in the end.
Xiao En went to the Black Spire, and as expected, the Horn family's treasure house was empty.
It should be taken away by people from the Path of Death. Xiao En doesn’t care because he is still waiting for Ms. Hecate to give him a reward. After the death of the Tomb King, there will definitely be someone from the Path of Death. In a big reshuffle, the legacy he left behind will be divided up by others, and Xiao En will definitely get a share from his teacher.
After placing several teleportation beacons, Xiao En returned directly to Abyss City.
Since Eamon left, the space barrier of the Real Kingdom has become more and more fragile, and smuggling is much easier than before. If this continues, the laws of the Real Kingdom will slowly assimilate with those of the Weird Kingdom.
Devil's Spire.
Xiao En returned to his stronghold in Abyss City, where the Fire Demon Ornn was already waiting for him.
"Lord Xiao En."
The figure of the Fire Demon Aoun looked much taller than before, nearly two and a half meters tall, as if he was a little giant, following the path of the demon As his extraordinary essence is digested, he will become more and more like the Balor Balrog, and will eventually be able to grow to a height of seven or eight meters.
He brought a heavy alchemy box, opened it and said: "Fifty Purgatory Roar hand cannons, six thousand rune bullets."
"This is already my limit."
"If I want to continue to expand production capacity, I need more alchemy apprentices."
Now the flames of hell have almost become his personal weapon Library, it's a pity that alchemy requires apprentices with spellcasting methods, and warriors cannot make it. The production capacity of Xiao En's followers is currently very low.
Xiao En picked up a heavy Infernal Roar hand cannon, looked at it and nodded: "It's enough for the time being."
"Gather people."
"We need a batch of extraordinary relics from the flesh and blood path."
The Fire Demon Aoun seemed to have guessed Xiao En's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Do you plan to cultivate a group of extraordinary people from the warrior path? ?”
“If it is only the warrior path”
“You can completely use the touch of flesh and blood to complete the promotion. Near the corrupted lair in the weird kingdom, the pillars of flesh and blood extend out of the area. , the touch of flesh and blood spreads everywhere."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao En nodded: "It's a good idea."
If there are one or two flesh-and-blood extraordinary beings like Benjamin who can deflect injuries, then Xiao En will make a lot of money. Although the warrior path does not have strong productivity, only high-level warriors can wear the magic power armor that Xiao En plans to use in the future. The power attributes of other extraordinary paths are still a bit lower.
After arranging for Fire Demon Aoun to gather men, Xiao En had time to study the mysterious rune seal given to him by Master Xu.
"This seems to be a special space beacon."
Xiao En stood on the astrologer's platform, studied for a long time, and said a little uncertainly: "The weird country is closed by gray fog Space, is this teleportation beacon still useful? "
Master Xu will not harm him.
Xiao En thought for a while and decided to give it a try before talking.
Primitive magic flowed from his palm and was injected into the rune imprint in front of him. With a shimmering light, he instantly felt that his consciousness was detaching from his body.
"Out of body?"
"No!"
Xiao En urgently teleported his body to the wizard tower, and the next second his consciousness left his body, He saw the grains of pale golden gravel floating around him. They were the sands of time. It is said that only those who have visited the time domain once can master it. When Ms. Hecate casts the legendary spell 'Time Copy', there will be sand around her. A little bit of pale golden gravel appears, which flows from the long river of time and space.
All this involves an ancient god who only knows his name, the Lord of Time, and the ancient god of order who does not know whether he still exists.
A stream of light flashed across Xiao En's consciousness.
He felt as if he had passed through a boundary of nothingness. He was not sure whether it was the star realm, or it might be the etheric plane, or the legendary realm of nothingness. When his consciousness gradually returned to perception, he had already arrived Arriving at a lair filled with countless gravel.
"Is anyone there?"
Xiao En looked at the empty lair in front of him. It seemed a bit like a dragon's lair, because there were a lot of treasures piled inside, including clock coronas. The ancient objects related to carvings are not very valuable, but they all have traces of a very long history.
The far boundary of the lair is a deep void, with nothing there. You can't even feel the passage of time here, as if you are at the end of time.
Xiao En seems to have guessed where this is.
——Time Dragon Lair.
It is said that the Time Dragon will build its nest at the end of time. It is an area that is unknowable and unseen, and even the gods are extremely difficult to find. These extremely powerful legendary dragons are born with the power to control the laws of time. They are the top existences in other crystal wall systems. The ancient time dragons even have the ability to deify time.
The wind howled.
A burst of flying pale golden gravel turned into a whirlpool, and then a ferocious and huge dragon head poked out. It stared at Xiao En with its faint eyes. After a while, it murmured: "The timeline has shrunk again. The guardians must be notified immediately. "
This is an adult time dragon with a challenge level of over 40+. Its huge body flew out of the sand sea of time. It looked at Xiao En in front of him and lowered his head slightly. Said: "Welcome to the Cave of Time."
"Lord Xiao En."
This time dragon knows him.
Xiao En had an illusion at this moment. The other party seemed to have peeked into his future and saw some things in the distant future. Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to call himself Lord Xiao En. A stream of light turned into a projection and fell.
It was a vague humanoid creature. He looked at his cube-like body and said in surprise: "Are the laws of distant countries so twisted?"
"Even my projection is distorted. It has become indescribable.”
This is an incarnation.
But I don’t know why, but I can’t even condense a clear human shape.
"Hello."
The blurry figure said kindly to Xiao En: "Master Xu sent you here, right?"
"Don't be nervous."
"We have no ill intentions. In fact, we have already met. Well, in the near future, although the timeline has been moved forward a little, it is not a big problem."
Timeline?
Xiao En's expression was extremely solemn, and he said slowly: "What timeline?"
The blurry figure appeared garbled, as if the signal of the game console suddenly failed. After the garbled code, his figure He condensed again and explained: "The timeline of the known universe."
He raised his hand and drew a straight line, and then a faint light lit up in the straight line, like points of light.
“The Center of Time and Space has been paying attention to all the children of destiny.”
“That is, those who have the luck of the plane.”
Having said this, he raised his hand slightly, and groups of light appeared one by one. Xiao En's eyes widened in surprise because he saw Ms. Hecate, Eamonn, the Butcher, and Benjamin. , even saw myself.
“The future is full of variables and unpredictable, but if you reach a height that exceeds the law of time at a certain point in the future, then all known predicted futures will collapse towards this point. "
"This is the contraction of the timeline."
This vague figure said to Xiao En: "Your existence, at a certain point in the future, will control the time domain. ”
“So the timeline of any prediction.”
"You are bound to come into contact with us, but we didn't expect that at this point in time, you would meet Master Xu, which will advance the time of our first meeting by five years."
Xiao En's expression was somewhat I seem to understand but not understand.
The law of time is still too profound for him. He must at least master some legendary time-related spells before he can understand this knowledge.
The blurry figure seemed to see his doubts and raised his hand again to lay out a star map.
“This is the multiverse we live in.”
He pointed at the star map, then drew bubbles one by one, and said slowly: "These are the crystal wall systems of the multiverse."
Then, a straight line penetrated these bubbles.
He said: "This straight line is the past. The time in the past has been fixed and cannot be changed. The ancient time dragon guards all time in the past."
Then, he lit up a ball light.
The figure continued: "This point of light is now. It is constantly moving forward, moving towards the future, which is our current point in time, the established present."
After speaking, he reached out and pointed. In front of the light group, in the future timeline, countless rays of light scattered in all directions. The bifurcated timeline was the predicted future.
“This is the future.”
“The fragments of the future we see through peering into time and through prophecy.”
“Each of these predicted futures is They are different, but only when the current time point moves to their position, they will become reality, otherwise they will always be prophecies of the future."
"This point of light is you."
< br>
"As long as your future is strong enough, then some of the things in the prophecy will definitely happen."
"For example, you will meet us and know the existence of the Time Dragon and the Space and Time Hub."
< br>"This is the shrinkage of the timeline."
Xiao En seemed to understand a little when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "You mean, in all future timelines, I will meet you, It’s just that because of the shrinkage of the timeline, I came here earlier?”
Although he has not studied the great prophecy in depth, Xiao En knows the basic principles of prophecy.
That is the timeline in which all predicted futures are possible.
Just like Eamon predicted his own death, it was a possible future, but he did not die in the end because an existence beyond the law of time interfered with his destiny. This is the turning point of the timeline, beyond The existence of the Law of Time can reverse the predicted future.
Legendary level prophecies may not be accurate, because they can only see the future derived from the law of cause and effect. Some existences beyond time and cause and effect are not within the scope of prophecy, so their predictions for the future cannot be deduced. of interference.
The figure happily snapped his fingers and said: "That's right. That's it."
"Communicating with an arcanist is much easier than communicating with a druid."
"In the future clips, even if you don't meet Master Xu, you will encounter a time dragon in the process of studying time spells."
"Yeah."
"Even if it is In the latest timeline, you will also start to explore the river of time and space after mastering the 'Time Copying Technique', and meet us at a certain point in time."
"This is the future seen in the prophecy. . ”
“And when we meet now, the timeline is shrinking.”
Speaking of this, the figure seemed very happy. He smiled and touched his palms and said: "Since the timeline has shrunk, what belongs to you can be given to you in advance."
"Young man."
“Are you interested in learning some legendary spells from me?”
Xiao En couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard this.
The blurry figure looked at him and smiled and said: "You have the advancement of an arcanist. There are some things that you don't need to hide from you, because you will know sooner or later."
"The study of the laws of time and space is an area that arcanists cannot avoid."
"The Center of Time and Space."
"Founded by the ancient Lord of Time, and closely related to those who believe in the gods The Pantheon was born together, and is now managed by us guardians of time and space and the ancient time dragons. If you want to study the laws of time and space in the future, there is a high probability that you will become one of us."
"Since the timeline of our meeting. If we advance, there will be a lot that can be done."
Speaking of this, the figure said seriously: "In the great prophecy we cast, Su En will return at a certain point in time. He must be promoted to demigod before He returns.”
"Otherwise, if you complete your promotion with Suen's brain, you will become his slave!"
Suen? !
Xiao En was instantly alert. The source of the laws of his spiritual path was Su En's brain.
The blurry figure said slowly: "I will teach you a spell called 'Eternal Blazing Sun' first."
"Learned it."
"It should be able to help you survive the stage of the Legend of Destiny. As for how to be promoted to Demigod, we can't predict it. We can only wait for the law of cause and effect in the timeline to continue to complete the deduction."
"However, you have to remember. "
"You are racing against Su En! You are promoted with the power of Su En's brain, and you are inherently controlled by Su En. You must kill Su En completely!"
"Yours! There are no flaws in the law of the mind. "
What Xiao En stole was Su En's law of the mind. If Su En returns, his spiritual power may be deprived of him. The best way is to kill Su En completely. replace Him.
"We will find a way to make Suen's descended body die in other crystal wall systems."
"If it is just the spiritual body that is resurrected and returns."
"You still have a chance to kill him completely. "Yes!" The vague figure said solemnly: "But before that, you'd better find a few more demigod helpers."
"In all the predicted futures."
< br>"Ms. Hecate is your most important helper. Try every means to help Ms. Hecate master the priesthood of death."
"This can help you completely kill the resurrected Suen!"
