Frozen Wheel(12)
Nana laughed terrified, patted Ice on the shoulder, and expressed her understanding and sympathy for him.
Things have been like this, and Is can only cheer up. He sorted out what happened "yesterday" and thought about where else could be done better... and could make some changes.
He felt that the key was on the "holy stone" and in the process of its power becoming weaker.
When the power is strong enough, the stone itself should still be in the prayer room. So, it has noticed something, or has any other "thoughts", and it has slipped away, leaving only a phantom to deceive the little one.
Saint, or...is someone else taking it?
For a moment, he even remembered Ed. After all, Ed had searched for another source stone... But Ed would not ignore the life and death of others in doing things like this.
He now feels that even the natural disasters in this world may be related to the Source Stone.
In order to confirm this, this time, he did not go to the first team, nor did he go to Alsey, but found Taisie as fast as possible, explained the situation in a few words, and said that considering the possible danger,
The task of entering the prayer room must be handed over to him.
At his speed of speaking, he couldn't even insert his mouth and Taisi helped him help his big head, which felt a little swollen.
"I don't understand very much," she said.
She wasn't very willing to accept it. She had only less than half a day's memory, but in fact she had already spent five days.
I feel that life has become shorter and shorter!
But she understood at least one thing: Is was going to enter the prayer room, and time was urgent.
Although she really wanted to challenge herself, since Ice insisted, she didn't have to take that risk.
She took Nana away and responded with Novi outside the prayer room, staring at the appearance of life signals, preparing to contact the first team as soon as possible.
Is's way of entering the prayer room was still so simple and crude - falling from the sky.
He fell on the roof of the prayer room. Here there was also a mist that could only be seen with another pair of eyes, which surged up towards him in ecstasy, as if he wanted to wrap him in it and make him part of them, but
The moment he touched his body, he suddenly shrank back as if he was burned by fire.
I don't understand why Is this is not relaxing his vigilance at all.
He did set up a barrier for himself, but the barrier did not have such a counterattack effect.
He even stayed on the roof for a while, trying to "pull" a little mist like Terry's sample, find a way to seal it up, and see what it was... but it didn't succeed.
His consciousness was able to divide the fog but could not capture them.
He didn't waste any more time, and once again melted the roof and jumped down.
The little saint was not in the prayer room at this moment, and he clearly saw the black stone ball that was constantly rotating in the palm of the statue's palm.
That is indeed the source stone. It rotates so fast that the golden symbols engraved on the stone were pulled into complete golden lines, and it was impossible to see clearly what it was engraved.
Is did not touch it, and even kept a certain distance cautiously. But now, he could be sure that the "fog" outside was emitted from the source stone.
It felt like it was spinning rapidly, throwing away some extremely tiny particles from the stone, and these particles surround it, forming a certain... protection?
If a person who enters the fog without permission does not have the power to resist it, he may not have any good ending.
And, Is feels that this source stone has indeed had its own consciousness.
Maybe simple, but powerful enough.
Just like…like eternal fire.
He tried to see if he could communicate with it, but he couldn't get a response.
He felt a sense of trance that the stone ball was not in the same world as him... but it was indeed right in front of him.
He finally reached out his hand and carefully touched the stone ball.
He felt that he had touched it, but it seemed that he hadn't. His eyes, his fingers, and his consciousness were telling him a different result.
He could even vaguely feel a certain kind of "emotion" of the stone ball, like fear, like disgust, or like fear. But he instinctively felt that this emotion was not born because of him.
Although both the mist emitted from the stone ball and the stone ball itself seemed to react to his actions, there was a subtle sense of incongruity, as if it was not targeting him.
All kinds of doubts made him unable to make up his mind - should he take the thing away and stuff it into another world?
He was carrying that cane.
"Not for now."
When he asked his companions, even the most daring Tess chose the most cautious approach, with a very good reason: "If we take it, we become the core of the power of this world, and then we can never leave it again
Here…what should I do?”
“…Isn’t it better to throw it away again?”
Terry, who was still building a ship and had known through the voice transmission stone that he might have built a ship for five days, took advantage of his busy schedule to knock on a string of secret codes.
The teased Tais rolled his eyes that no one could see.
"Anyway!" she said, "I think it's better to touch that thing less. Don't you think that anyone who touches it will have no good ending?"
"Amister probably doesn't think so." Terry continued to typing the secret code.
Tess turned to Norwich: "Do you think our little mage is getting more and more annoying?"
After a little bit of mouth, the originally nervous and dull atmosphere seemed to have become a little relaxed. In the end, Is did not touch the stone ball.
Although it is not the first time they have seen it, nor the first time they have faced the power of the Source Stone, they still know very little about this thing.
After they received the people from the first team and exchanged all the situations, the captain of the first team, Discard, proposed another possibility.
"What if we don't care about the source of power first, but find the cause of this?" he said, "I mean, there is a core of power here, but if no one, for some reason, use a certain
In this way, fragments of time like this should not appear out of thin air, right?"
“…I agree,” Alsie said, “In fact, we cannot be sure where the cycle of time begins—it cannot be determined by the time we enter this cycle, but at least, we know what it is.
The time is over."
As Is said, they did nothing at the end of the last time, so the only possibility... was probably back to the prayer room and claimed that they could stop the disaster.
"We did not change much," said Arsey. "Remdo and Freya obviously had their own plans. Even if Terry didn't help them build ships, they should have other escapes from the city and escaped.
After this natural disaster, Ato… should not want to leave the temple either.”
Whether they appear or not, Atou would probably make the same choice. As the only person in the city who can manipulate a little magical power, it is likely that she has caused the cycle of this time.
"So," Taisie rubbed her face tiredly, "Do we still have to wait until the end?"
According to memory, this is the first time she has experienced all this, but as Ice said, they have been here for five days without a rest!
"And," said Is, "the moment the power of the Source Stone suddenly weakened, it was also suspicious."
He decided that no matter what others did, he would stay in the prayer room and stop moving!
He found a corner in the prayer room and sat down - a corner where the source stone could be clearly seen. The golden thread pulled out of the rotating round stone flashed, and when Ator entered the prayer room, he looked like
The spider silk stuck to her body, flashing slightly, and disappeared again.
Iss didn't know if he was thinking too much. He felt that the thread showed a strange eagerness, as if he was... asking for help?
But Yaduo obviously felt nothing. She knelt in front of the statue, looked up at the Origin Stone blankly, then closed her eyes as if she was praying.
At one moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and Is stood up suddenly.
Someone broke in - he thought.
But he saw nothing, and was only surprised by one thing-the power of the Source Stone became weaker.
It suddenly seemed that it was still there, but Is could clearly feel the difference.
It has become the kind of thing he saw when he saw it, not the entity.
The real source stone has been taken away by someone.
When this idea came out, he realized in shock and angrily that time seemed to have been cut by someone, and part of it was cut off.
Not only because of his own feelings, but also because Ator began to cry.
She seemed to cry suddenly, crying so sadly that Ice's scalp was numb and wished she could blend into the ice wall.
But although she was a little confused and helpless the moment before, she was still calm.
Yes, girls can easily cry, but even Is knows that she shouldn't cry for no reason.
The most important thing is that he was clearly here, but nothing could be stopped. If he was careless, he might not even find out, and he would only think that Yuanshi had run away by himself.
