Lin Li, who knew Connoris well, could not believe that piece of information, let alone Archbishop Martin and the others. However, for the sake of Lin Li, Archbishop Martin did not show it obviously.
However, the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom did not care about that. Hearing that Connoris was getting more and more exaggerated, Donald couldn't help but say, "Time travel? Even the gods can't affect the flow of the River of Time and Space. What kind of magic trap can send us to more than 1,300 years ago? "
"Regardless of whether that's the case or not, since we're already here, let's explore it. No matter where this place is, we have to find a way to leave this place." Seeing that Donald was about to quarrel with the people of the Tower of Dusk, Archbishop Martin hurriedly stood up.
Indeed, regardless of whether what Connoris said was true or not, even if it was just an illusion, they still had to find a way to leave. Hence, there was nothing worth objecting to Archbishop Martin's suggestion. However, they were surrounded by wilderness, and there were still some disagreements as to where they should explore.
Lin Li thought about it for a while, pointed in a direction, and said, "Let's go over there. If this is really Alanna, that should be where Alanna City is. Let's explore there first."
The current Alanna City was the capital of the Felan Kingdom, and it was definitely different from the Alanna City that was more than 1,300 years ago. Whether it was the current Alanna City or the Alanna City that was more than 1,300 years ago would be clear once they found Alanna City.
Of course, Lin Li did not think that he and the others had really been sent to more than 1,300 years ago. Although he also yearned to participate in the famous battles at the end of the Dark Age and see Geresco, who was known as the God of Mages, that was probably something that even the gods could not do.
Hence, in Lin Li's opinion, the space they were in now was very likely to be a powerful Magical Domain similar to the Seven-Realm Spiral. However, it was not as simple as the Laws of each realm of the Seven-Realm Spiral. When they passed through the Seven-Realm Spiral, the scene of the last realm was set up like the legendary Sierra Leone Forest.
The expedition began to move in the direction of Alanna City, but they stopped after a short while, because they were standing on a hill, and could already see that there was a city that looked somewhat similar to Alanna City in the distance.
However, be it the current Alanna or the Alanna from 1,300 years ago, it didn't seem appropriate for the expedition to appear in Alanna City. If it were the current Alanna, the appearance of the expedition would definitely cause the Felan Royal Family to feel nervous, and there might even be diplomatic disputes. After all, there were people from the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine in the team.
If it were another situation, and they were in Alanna more than 1,300 years ago, the expedition shouldn't have gone there just like that. More than 1,300 years ago, Anril was still ruled by the High Elves, and this was still the territory of Highlord Osric. That would definitely cause great trouble, and even a catastrophe.
Although both of those worries seemed a little absurd, no one could be sure of the current situation. Hence, they had no choice but to be more careful. Lin Li discussed with Archbishop Martin and the others, and decided to send someone out to investigate the situation so that they could be prepared for what they might encounter next.
Investigation was definitely the forte of Bandits, but there were no Bandits in the team of the Brilliance Shrine and the Tower of Dusk. The people of the Rotterdam Kingdom finally had something to show off. Without discussing it with Donald, Prince Kanber directly appointed three of his Bandits to carry out the investigation.
The three Bandits who were named looked extremely sullen, but they dared not disobey Prince Kanber's orders. Hence, they had no choice but to leave the team with a sullen expression. The three Bandits were all above level-17 or 18, and the investigation mission was actually not very difficult for them. However, if it was a trap, leaving the team would undoubtedly be no different from courting death.
After the three Bandits left, the expedition stopped in place and waited for a reply. About two hours later, a Bandit suddenly emerged from the shadows. This Bandit was the strongest among the three, but he looked rather disheveled at this moment. Clearly, the investigation mission did not go well.
"Henry, how did this happen? Where are the two of them?" Seeing that his subordinates had returned in such a disheveled state, Prince Kanber looked a little displeased.
"Your Highness, the two of them were caught by the High Elves," Henry, the only Bandit who returned, said while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"What, High Elves!? There are High Elves here? " Donald and Kanber did not care about the fact that their two subordinates had been caught. Instead, they noticed the High Elves that Henry mentioned.
After the end of the Dark Age, the High Elves in Anril could basically be said to have gone extinct. Even the Tree of Eternity had been destroyed by Geresco. Even if there were some High Elves in some ruins occasionally, they had basically turned into Undead creatures.
"Are you talking about High Elven Liches?" Donald asked further.
However, the Bandit Henry shook his head, swallowed his saliva with some difficulty, and continued, "They're not Undead creatures, they're High Elves, living High Elves. The three of us were planning to sneak into the city, but as soon as we reached the city gate, we were discovered by a High Elf … "
"Lowly humans, are you gathering here to rebel!?" Before the Bandit Henry could finish speaking, a voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
The expedition on the ground looked up, only to see a High Elf in luxurious clothes in mid-air. He was holding a Dark Moon Staff in his hand, and looking down coldly at them.
"Just nice, someone has come to us. We don't need to investigate anything anymore," Lin Li said with a slight smirk. The corners of Lin Li's lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to grab at the sky. A giant hand condensed with mana appeared out of thin air above the head of the High Elf, and grabbed him down.
"Filthy humans, how dare you offend the dignity of my race. Do you want to be exterminated!?" In the face of the giant hand made of mana, the High Elf could not resist at all. However, even though he was grabbed down, the arrogance on his face did not diminish at all.
Lin Li and the others were speechless at the words of this High Elf. Everyone knew that the High Elves had long been exterminated in Anril, and even the Tree of Eternity had been destroyed. However, this High Elf in front of them seemed to know nothing about it, and was still acting all arrogant. Seeing the High Elf's behavior, everyone's heart sank. Had they really been sent back to more than 1,300 years ago?
Lin Li grabbed the High Elf, and asked, "Let me ask you, where is this place, and who is the lord here?"
"Lowly human, what right do you have to ask me questions? It seems that the previous lessons have not taught you the proper respect for my race." Although the High Elf could not break free, and knew that Lin Li was stronger than him, his tone did not soften at all.
"Ujfalusi, use whatever method you want to use to dig out the information we want to know from his head." Seeing that the High Elf was so stubborn, Lin Li could not be bothered to waste time on him, and simply left it to Ujfalusi to think of a solution.
As a Lich who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, Ujfalusi could be said to have reached the peak of playing with souls. After hearing Lin Li's instructions, he immediately grabbed the High Elf and found a corner to start. At first, the High Elf gritted his teeth and did not make a sound, but after a while, he could not help but scream.
Not long after, Ujfalusi returned to Lin Li with the High Elf who was gasping for air. He said, "Master, according to him, this is indeed Alanna, and the current lord here is … Highlord Osric."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Did they really travel through time and space? Why did Highlord Osric come out too!? Everyone knew that it had definitely been more than 1,300 years since Osric became the Lord of the Dark Forest.
This time, they were doomed. They had traveled to more than 1,300 years ago, and even ran into the territory of the butcher Osric. Not to mention going back, it would be a problem for them to survive! In this era, the peak of the Legendary-realm was not a great power. There were many powerhouses at the peak of the Legendary-realm in Osric's Magic Legion alone. As for Highlord Osric, he was a true figure at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. It would be a piece of cake for him to destroy the expedition.
This news directly made everyone dumbfounded, and even Lin Li lost his usual calmness. He wanted to deal with Osric, but he had to deal with Osric's Ghost, and not Osric in his prime!
"By the way, ask him what day it is today." Lin Li suddenly thought of something. Although Osric was a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, he seemed to have been seriously injured in the later stages, and then began to build a mausoleum. If it was now when Osric was building a mausoleum, perhaps he wouldn't have bothered to find trouble with them.
Ujfalusi threw the High Elf at his feet, and squatted down to pinch his forehead. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said in a strange tone, "Master, he said that today is the 17th of May, 7665 of the Continental Calendar …"
"7665? Why does it feel a little different from history? " Hearing this date, Lin Li was stunned too. He remembered that the Dark Age seemed to have ended only about 6,000 years ago. Why did this High Elf run out of more than 7,000 years ago?
Connoris suddenly smacked his forehead, and excitedly said, "Ha, I know, we did not go back to more than 1,300 years ago, and this is indeed Alanna more than 1,300 years ago."
"What do you mean?" Lin Li was not the only one. Archbishop Martin and the others were also confused by Connoris' words.
"If I guessed correctly, this should be a world created by the Immortal King based on Alanna more than 1,300 years ago." At this point, even though Connoris was one of the oldest ancient deities, he couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Create a world!" After all, Lin Li had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and with his understanding of the power of the Sanctuary-realm, he also knew that what Connoris said was not groundless.
The Legendary-realm comprehended and used the Laws, the Sanctuary-realm manipulated and changed the Laws, and above the Sanctuary-realm was probably the creation of Laws. The world was made up of various Laws, so the extreme of creating Laws might not necessarily be unable to create a world. In fact, in myths and legends, true deities often had their own God's Kingdom, and this so-called God's Kingdom, in a sense, was also a world.
As one of the most powerful existences in the history of Anril, the Immortal King was said to have power comparable to that of the gods. Hence, it did not seem impossible for him to create a world of his own. Only those who could truly create their own Laws would be able to break away from the shackles of the World Laws, and enter the chaos of time and space to explore.
Of course, no one could be sure whether that was the case or not. Even Connoris, who made that guess, was actually not fully confident. However, while they could not be sure, they did not reject that theory that much. After all, it could indeed explain a lot of things.
However, Lin Li was still a little worried. According to the High Elf just now, there was also an Osric here. In that case, what was the relationship between this Osric and the Osric of Anril? Although they knew that a figure like Osric could not be replicated, how powerful would the Osric here be?
However, no matter what, Lin Li and the others were more or less relieved that they had not been sent to more than 1,300 years ago and that there was no real Osric here.
"Master Felic, what do you think we should do next?" Archbishop Martin was also frightened out of his wits just now. At this moment, he was asking for Lin Li's opinion while wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave the world created by the Immortal King." Lin Li frowned and shook his head slightly. He then turned to Connoris, and asked, "Connoris, what do you think about this world?"
After all, Lin Li had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and was still far from the Immortal King who had created the world. Connoris, on the other hand, was, after all, an ancient deity who had mastered conspiracies and deceit. Besides, he had also participated in the opening of the Endless Abyss back then. Hence, he should be more knowledgeable in this aspect.
Connoris pondered for a moment, and while recalling, he said, "I remember Osric telling me some things about this world."
