Roddy couldn't see any barrier here. He looked carefully and asked, "Did that count as ringing the doorbell? Asking her to come out? "
"Your analogy is quite vivid. I just hope that the secret signal just now will make her curious …"
The wave she had just cast was actually the first Dragon Dharma spell she had learned, "Echo Spell." Every Dragons would make a unique sound when they cast "Echo" for the first time, and Kardashian just transmitted the sound from her memory with the help of the barrier.
However, this didn't mean that it was foolproof. Kardashian was a little embarrassed and said, "I just don't know how she is feeling … If she is in a good mood, she will probably come out."
She knew that she was sometimes very "emotional". After staying alone for a long time, she often made two extreme decisions under different moods. When she was happy, she would play crazily. For example, when she found Roddy pleasing to the eye, she would even play all kinds of jokes with him. But when she was in a bad mood … it was probably not unusual for a dragon's breath to come over.
"What should we do next? Wait here? "
Roddy looked back. He didn't know if the group of guys behind him would rush here. After all, this place was still far from the core of the mountain area. The level of the surrounding magical beasts was not particularly high. If it was a team of more than 20 people, they should be able to handle it.
"We can only wait. We can't go any further."
Kardashian's answer was very simple. Roddy nodded and did not say much. He just began to clear the obstacles on the spot. For the possible battle, he did not dare to relax at all.
However, before Roddy could get busy for a few minutes, there was a faint sound of something breaking through the air above their heads.
Both of them were refreshed. They both stood up and looked up. However, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, they were surprised because of who it was …
*****
Inside the Hercino Magic Tower, Edith's phantom was wandering in the space and time tunnel.
At this time, she could not be called a "phantom", but an invisible and intangible "soul state". The time and space tunnel that the Magic Tower was connected to was not a tunnel but more like a vast universe that contained infinite time and space.
Edith had probed the scene in front of her with her spiritual power when the magic circle was first set up, but her attempt at that time could only be said to be superficial. After all, the experience of wandering through time and space sounded good, but it was actually very dangerous. Even though she had reached the strength of a Demigod, there was still the risk of being devoured and lost.
At this moment, searching for a specific 'space-time cage' in the 'soul' form was like dancing on the tip of a knife. If he had a body, he would probably be covered in cold sweat by now.
The space-time prison in the space-time tunnel was like a celestial body floating in space. When Edith observed it closely, she realized that many of them were left behind by the intruders who violated the rules in the past. Regardless of whether they eventually escaped from this "prison", the world of the "prison" itself was preserved and continued to operate on its own — after all, this kind of power could only be possessed by gods.
Just thinking about the creation of time and space, Edith felt an indescribable respect for the god who controlled time and space.
In the world before her, Edith found that there was a continent where the High Elves had flourished, and there was also a lava world that had been destroyed long ago. She could even see the "intruders" who had been lost hundreds of years ago. They had already forgotten that they were in the space-time prison and were still living in it to this day.
Such a scene made Edith feel a chill in her heart. Perhaps everyone who saw this scene would think about the meaning of their existence.
But she did not stop there. Her state of mind was far stronger than that of ordinary people, Edith quickly left these "prisons" because she knew very well that every second of searching was using up a large number of rechargeable crystals. She could not afford to waste any time.
The "prisons" were as numerous as the stars in the sky, but Edith did not have any shortcuts. She could only go closer and observe them one by one. What made her despair was that there was no sign of Roddy and Kardashian in these worlds — until the energy was about to run out, she found a realm where Roddy had left his scent — it was the Mogra Village where he had stayed before.
After Roddy had left, everything here was still running. Naifei's grave stood alone outside the village. The war of the Orcs' invasion was still ongoing, and the players were still fighting for their own … The war-torn Kingdom of Karen was on the verge of death.
Edith looked at everything in front of her, and her brows furrowed deeply.
She could be sure that the "space-time prison" could only be created based on human memories, and it would only show the "past" and not the "future." So where did the "past" that even the Mogra Village area was invaded by the Orcs come from?
But since she could find this place, it meant that she was on the right track. Just as she was about to go to the next realm, she suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
This was the notification from Edith that the Magic Tower's energy had reached the "warning line". She had no choice but to immediately start the "return" and leave the "space-time tunnel" before the energy ran out …
When Edith's phantom reappeared in the "core room", Akasha and Sally who had been waiting there stood up. Seeing her flickering and blurry shadow, both of them showed a worried expression, but no one dared to speak.
"I have found the approximate location, and I should be able to succeed next time."
Edith's conclusion was positive after all. Seeing that the two of them were slightly relieved, she began to briefly describe the search process, but did not mention the strange things about that world … because this question was afraid that it would cause trouble. If Roddy had a chance to escape, Edith thought that she should ask him in person.
And what they needed to do now was to change the charging crystal and make a second attempt.
The two of them were about to urge the Magicians who came to help to change the crystal, but Edith said, "Sally, Duke, I have something to discuss with you."
"Demigods" were respected, and even the High Elf royal family had to treat them as equals. Even though she was only a phantom, there was no need for her to use honorifics with Duke.
"What is it? Your Excellency Edith? "
"If we really find the 'prison' that Roddy is in, I am not sure how much influence the Magic Tower can exert on the 'realm' he is in. It is impossible to pull him out directly, so my plan is to transfer as much energy as possible into the 'prison' and affect that world. The greater the influence, the higher the chance of him coming out. "
"I think I understand this …"
Sally nodded. She did not understand why the other party repeated these words.
"If possible, the Viper's Kiss might be one of the items that can affect 'space and time.'" Edith went straight to the point and pointed at the white scepter in her hand. "Right now, there is only one chance left. If I still cannot complete the mission at the last moment … the power of the Divine Gear may be more effective than all the energy of the Magic Tower combined."
After calmly explaining, Edith added, "But I am not sure how this will affect the Divine Gear, so you can also refuse …"
No matter how you put it, it was cruel. In fact, the other party had given Sally a choice: Protect the Divine Gear, or fight for an illusory chance to let Roddy return?
Edith had seen too many people lose themselves in the face of money. Not to mention love, even family could become enemies. And the Divine Gear represented far more than just wealth. It even represented immortality and power. It was the lifelong goal of countless people.
Humans were far less talented in magic than the High Elves. In Edith's mind, they would do anything to climb up. She thought that if Sally hesitated, it would be a sign of "responsibility" for this relationship. However, the Duke in front of her calmly pointed the scepter forward and said in a low voice, "No problem."
Edith opened her mouth slightly and finally nodded. "I understand …"
