Time no longer has any shyness with Shad, showing him all the secrets. The long river of time has become complete in Xia De's eyes, and the bridge connecting the fifth era and the present time point has finally shown its own appearance.

He wanted to stand up, but the feeling of weakness and bleeding from the seven orifices and the feeling of a splitting headache almost made Xia De fall to the ground, but fortunately the doctor helped him in time.

"I'm fine."

Xia De, who was in a daze, covered his head with his left hand, and handed the relic of his right hand to the doctor for him to put it back in the box, while he supported the wall and tried his best to stand still.

"That is to say, after the end of the fifth era, it was the first sixth era. Then the time of the sixth era was destroyed, everything returned to the beginning of the sixth era, and time flowed to the second sixth era. Then, The time of the second sixth era was also completely destroyed, everything returned to the beginning of the sixth era, and entered the third sixth era..."

If it wasn't for Xia De who has entered the fifth ring now, and his soul and body have become stronger after several adventures, he doubts that the moment he got the truth just now, his head would explode like a watermelon.

[Past World·Sixth Era] has been repeated six times, and the era when the outsiders come is the seventh cycle of the Sixth Era. At the end of the adventure in the Forest of Thousand Trees, the old **** [Gate of Radiance] once reminded that it is not the sixth era in the true sense. This is really a very accurate description.

The real Sixth Epoch has long gone, but it is still the Sixth Epoch now. Strictly speaking, this is indeed not the sixth era, but the answer given by [Time Perception] is not wrong.

"In the past, what happened?"

A chuckle emerged from the bottom of her heart, and the smile of "her" calmed down the explosive restlessness of Xia De's spirit, and also stabilized the extremely unstable soul.

"Doctor, I want to blow the night breeze... a little dizzy."

He said softly, and the doctor nodded worriedly, and then saw Shade open the fence door leading to the mechanism behind the clock tower's giant dial.

Behind the fence gate, there is a horizontal wooden road surrounded by barbed wire. This trail is inserted into the center of those giant gears, allowing mechanics to enter the interior of the machine. And at the end of this road, there is a locked door on the wall. After Shade opened the door with the [Door Key], he leaned on the metal fence near his waist and pushed the metal plate fixed by the chute outward. push. Amidst some sharp sounds, the road stretched outwards, and they walked out from the small door on the dial, leaning on the cold metal crossbar, and stood under the snow-falling starry sky.

It's a bit like standing on the terrace outside the dial of the clock tower, but the terrace is a bit too narrow, so you don't have to worry about being seen.

"Did you make it?"

The doctor asked, Xia De reluctantly nodded his head as the cold night wind in winter was blowing the two of them. His lungs felt like they were on fire, his ears were buzzing, and his brain felt like it was being stuffed into a brick. But he himself is also recovering quickly, this result is not surprising to him, or in other words, he has already guessed part of the truth.

"Not long ago, I met an old professor in Huntington."

Xia De's voice was very hoarse, and the voice startled himself:

"He is as crazy as Kings Priscia to seek knowledge, but after he really touches the mystery, he himself is afraid, so he shrinks back."

The doctor looked at Xia De with some puzzlement, not knowing why Xia De told this story.

"Doctor, do you know?"

He looked at the blue-eyed psychiatrist under the night sky:

"I'm actually also madly seeking knowledge, pursuing a truth about the world and everything. Now, I have found it."

The doctor was taken aback for a moment, then asked:

"Are you scared too?"

"of course not."

"So, like Kings Priscia, do you want more?"

"Of course not, that's enough for the time being."

So the doctor laughed and said:

"You see, you're not the same as Lykins Priscia, and you're not the same old professor you were talking about."

"We live on a peaceful island called Ignorance, surrounded by an endless sea of ​​black..."

Xia De said softly, leaning on the cold metal crossbar to look at the city under the starry sky.

Professor Drake said, the dark tomb is in front of me, I would like to sleep here and listen to the wind and waves;

Sir Priscia said, but still have to go to sea, to explore, to witness, to desire, to seek knowledge.

And the doctor at the moment said:

"Go out to sea carefully, proud sailor. Lower your sails, shake your oars, and travel cautiously in the sea of ​​endless darkness. Keep your head low and your eyes bright, in the sea called truth, There is bound to be another piece of soil where you and I can survive."

Xia De laughed:

"Doctor, maybe you can really go be a writer."

"Really? I think so too."

The doctor also said with a smile, looking at the lights of Wanjia in Tobesk City from the top of the clock tower with Shad.

"You asked me just now, what is knowledge and wisdom. Now, I want to change the answer—"

The cold wind whizzed past the side of the clock tower, carrying snowflakes past the two of them. Above the head is the Vientiane Galaxy covered by dark clouds, and three rounds of moons shine on the earth behind the lighthouse; below, is the grid of gas lamps like a checkerboard in Tobesk City, the pearl of the north. The clusters of firelight in the gray fog extend to Farther away in the darkness, the capital of steam, which is densely covered with stars, appears on the plain.

The gray mist was hazy, the snowflakes were slightly cold, and two giant black pointers were slowly turning behind them. Standing side by side at the highest point of the city in the dark, it seems as if you can touch the rich and dark night sky with your hands.

Xia De clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the middle-aged doctor stretched out his right hand and pointed forward. Just like the oil paintings that pay the most attention to light and shadow, there are two smallest shadows at the top of the bell tower that occupies the main body of the picture.

Compared with this city shrouded in gray mist illuminated by dots of light, they are really tiny:

"The lights that light up at night before our eyes, the chimneys standing in the snow in the distance, and the huge machinery running behind us, this is the knowledge and wisdom of our era .”

"civilization?"

Xia De asked, the doctor thought for a while, smiled and nodded:

"Yes, civilization."

Behind the doctor, the shadow of the ring of life appeared in the steam mist, and the brand-new enlightenment rune appeared because of the touch of this moment.

Amidst the harsh bells and sirens, the gentle voice of "her" also appeared in the drifting snowflakes:

[The current world, the sixth century, 1854 in the general calendar, winter, the month of the first birth. No one can see your face clearly in the snowy night, just like on the road of seeking knowledge, no one can solve your mystery. The crazy seeker will eventually fall into eternal madness; the cautious keeper will get the power he longs for. The old gods give blessings, the angels give strength, the keepers guide the way forward, twelve trials, brand new adventures and legends. Outlanders surrounded and loved by witches, when you pull out your long sword, at this moment, you can see the truth of time through the fog of ignorance, what does this knowledge mean to you? 】

Xia De silently looked at the gray and foggy city, letting the snowflakes fall on his shoulders:

"Actually, you are also my secret keeper."

"She" chuckled and asked:

[Then please let me test you—the truth of time, what exactly is it? 】

"There have been six [Past World·Sixth Era], and now it is the seventh Sixth Era. The real Sixth Era has long gone... Luvia... Luvia's other me is the so-called "Reborn" or "Time Destroyer". She already knew everything, and maybe she caused everything in the past and present. But, I'm not sure, whether every time Looking back, it's all about her."

Whispering softly in the ear:

[Outlander, you have been exposed to miracles, blasphemy, enlightenment, whispers]

[You have learned the complete truth of time, you can choose not to accept the influence of time-type power, and time-type power has been greatly enhanced permanently. 】

"God Comes"

[Contacting the shadow of the tree father: does not consume spirit. 】

[Blade of Chaos Time and Space: Up to three weapons can be summoned from time at the same time. 】

[Echoes of the Past: The listening time is extended to 72 hours in the "divine afterglow" state and 48 hours in the normal state. 】

[Voice of the Ancients: Get more information after touching the First Epoch item. 】

[Breath of Time: The backward time is expanded to three years, and the accelerated time is expanded to ten years. Lifespan consumption is one-fifth of the affected time. 】

"This time, it must be the last time in the sixth era, I will change everything."

Xia De let out a sigh of relief, watching the hot air exhaled from his nasal cavity turn into white smoke and go away with the wind in the snow, then he turned his head slightly under the starry sky, and said to the doctor who was feeling the power as the life ring disappeared behind him :

"Doctor, thank you for your help tonight. The ceremony went smoothly. After the exam tomorrow, please let me stab you with an arrow."

"What?"

The doctor in front of the dial of the clock tower looked curiously at Shad's face in the darkness.

"I got an arrow, the arrow..."

All kinds of adventures since the winter came to my heart, and the unexpected power gained from the knowledge of time is also in my heart at this moment~lightnovelpub.net~ Xia De felt something in his heart, smiled and shook his head lightly:

"I mean—knowledge, really is power."

After speaking, he turned around and looked at the city under his feet, holding on to the railing with both hands, and tapping the metal with the index finger of his right hand.

And as his words fell, the dark golden phantom tome appeared behind Xia De, unfolded but closed again. The light and shadow were so dim that Xia De couldn't see it himself, but this time, the doctor was sure he saw it.

The middle-aged psychiatrist with blue eyes blinked curiously, but said nothing.

One person is holding on to the railing with both hands, and the other is holding his hands on his chest. The gentlemen in black coats are in front of the dial of the clock tower, looking at the lights of Wanjia in Tobesk in the snow, and the new year has really begun.

Only "she" said with a light smile:

[Outlander, you have gained new power. 】
