Of course, Angor was familiar with the Time Thief.
The Time Thief would search every world for talented individuals who might embark on the path of truth. Then, the Time Thief would steal their choices at important moments in their lives to achieve self-improvement.
"I don't know if the Time Thief is a 'miracle' creature. But he's already the most powerful creature I know who has something to do with time. "
Angor wasn't sure if the Time Thief was a miracle creature. But … he probably was.
This was because even though the goal of 'pursuing the path of truth' was the dream of all Magi, only the Miracle Lifeforms had the qualifications to search for it. Since the Time Thief kept searching for the path of truth, he must have earned the right to do so. He was a miracle creature.
Angor had met more than one legendary wizard. He asked them about the Time Thief, and they all gave him vague answers. Although there was no clear answer, it was certain that in the eyes of the legendary wizards, the Time Thief was also a legendary figure.
According to them, the Time Thief could travel across time quickly. One second, he could be in the Western Continent, and the next second, he could be in the southern wizarding region.
The Time Thief could use a special world as a shortcut. But according to the rumors, the Time Thief didn't take any shortcuts. He relied on his own power to travel.
This was not something a legendary wizard could do.
Angor read Cuolo's diary. As a legendary wizard, Cuolo had to slowly cross the endless space and time in order to reach the southern wizardry region from the origin world without using any external means, which would take years to do.
Therefore, in the eyes of these Legendary Wizards, the Time Thief was also a supreme existence.
Most likely, he was a miracle creature.
The Black Earl said, "Even a powerful existence like the Time Thief is rumored to not have absolute control over time."
As such, it would be very difficult for the Miracle Beings to have absolute control over time.
"Everything is impossible because of what you've seen and heard," Angor spoke in a low voice.
Black Earl didn't argue. "You're right. Maybe I don't understand it because of my ignorance. However, I believe that if there really is an existence that can completely control time, that existence is definitely not something that we can speculate about. "
Ants could not imagine the world of humans, nor could they guess the emotions of humans.
The ant didn't understand why sometimes it would be trampled to death, and sometimes the footprints would deliberately avoid it.
Humans might know, but ants definitely didn't.
The difference between an ant and a human was the difference between a human and an existence that could control time and possibly a higher dimension.
Dorcas asked, "If the current Time Elementals can't completely control time, then what are their abilities?"
The Black Earl pondered for a moment, as if he was considering his words.
After a while, the Black Earl said, "As far as I know, most time-type abilities are internalized."
"Internalization?" Dorcas's face was filled with confusion. What was internalization?
The Black Earl said, "Internalization is an ability that is difficult to distinguish with the senses."
As the Dark Earl spoke, he manipulated the elements in the air and condensed a blazing flame in front of him. As soon as the flame appeared, it rapidly changed and turned into a fireball that contained boundless power.
Without any warning, the fireball charged towards Dorcas at an extremely fast speed.
It was as if Dorcas didn't see the fireball approaching.
Just as the fireball was about to hit Dorcas's head, several sword lights flashed and the fireball was cut into several sparks. They fell to the ground and disappeared.
Dorcas still didn't seem to move, but everyone knew that Dorcas had used his sword to cut the fireball. However, his speed was so fast that it was as if he hadn't moved at all.
The Black Earl didn't care about the fireball being cut apart. He only asked, "What ability did I use?"
Dorcas thought for a moment and said, "The Fire Control Trick of the Trick of Tricks?"
The Trick of Tricks was a level 0 trick. It could create many tricks that seemed magical to ordinary people, but were actually useless.
The Black Earl didn't say whether Dorcas's answer was right or wrong. Instead, he condensed another ball of energy. This ball of energy also turned into a ball and flew towards Dorcas.
Dorcas easily intercepted it again.
The Black Earl asked again, "What ability did I use this time?"
Dorcas didn't hesitate and said directly, "Although the naked eye can't capture the trajectory of the energy, it can be seen from the energy perspective that this is a Spirit Flick controlled by spiritual power."
Spirit Flick was an application technique of spiritual power. According to the standard of tricks, it could barely be considered a level 1 trick. However, there were very few people in the apprentice realm who could release Spirit Flick. Either they were born with high spiritual power, or they were at the peak of the apprentice realm. Because the threshold was too high and the benefits were too low, this method was not considered a trick.
The Black Earl nodded, "Your answers are correct. Whether it's the Fire Control Trick or the Spirit Flick, these are external abilities. You can capture the trajectory with the naked eye or the energy perspective and confirm its nature."
"The opposite of an external ability is an internal ability. You can capture its trajectory, but you can't confirm its nature. "
"Eckstedt's ability is an internal type of ability. This is also why you can't determine what element Eckstedt is from. "
Of course, time wasn't the only type of ability that was internal. Many other elements were difficult to determine the nature of their abilities. In terms of concept, they were also internal.
Moreover, time elemental Magi didn't think that their ability was internalization … The term internalization was just coined by the Black Earl to make it easier to explain.
Dorcas pondered and said, "So you're saying that Eckstedt's Flick is also internal? Is it also a type of time ability? I can't make a correct judgment because the nature of the energy isn't obvious? "
The Black Earl nodded. "Yes."
Dorcas didn't get any better. Instead, he became even more confused.
He really couldn't think of "Flick" as a time ability. In his opinion, it was more likely that Eckstedt's Flick was given to him by a wild god.
The Black Earl looked at Angor again. "The second question you asked before, how did I know Eckstedt is a time manipulator? The answer is … Flick. "
To Dorcas, the most unbelievable and impossible answer was the basis for the Dark Count to determine Aikesi's identity.
Dorcas couldn't accept it. He looked at the Black Earl and waited for an explanation.
Angor and Wai also looked at the Black Earl curiously. For non-bloodline wizards like them, it was hard for them to feel anything from a "Bloodline spell" like "Flick", so they didn't feel as bad as Dorcas. What they wanted to know more was why Flick was a time ability.
Time knowledge was precious, but since the Black Earl already told them about it, he didn't plan to hide it. He exhaled deeply from his nose. Next, he slowly recalled his past.
…
It was about the time ability — Flick.
The Black Earl didn't know about this for long.
When Mister Monkey found out that he was abandoned by the Time Thief, he began to doubt himself. He didn't want to walk the path of becoming a legend as he always did.
In the end, he chose to use the bloodline of a demon's descendant to improve himself and open up his own path of becoming a legend.
It was also at this time that Monchi invited many Wizards, hoping to gain their support.
At that time, the Black Earl was also among the invitees.
Monchi cared a lot about the Black Earl's choice, even more so than most of the other Magi.
This was because the Black Earl was a loner.
The Black Earl was the leader of the Noah Clan, but he was the sole leader of the clan. Most of his subordinates were useless. In the eyes of Adept Monchi, these descendants were completely disposable.
In other people's eyes, the Black Earl was indeed doing this. The Black Earl left his clones with his descendants because he had his own plan. Monkey believed that the Black Earl's plan was to use the blood of his own people to improve himself.
In this case, the Black Earl was all alone, and he didn't have to worry about any of his decisions.
In fact, if Monkey really obtained the bloodline of a demon's descendant, he could become a legend himself, and the Black Earl could come and kill him without any hesitation. It didn't matter if he couldn't kill the Black Earl. He could run away whenever he wanted.
Unlike the other top Magi, most of them had their own careers.
Rein, for example, only cared about the people from Brute Cavern. Because of this, Rein would be greatly restricted.
Therefore, in Monkey's eyes, the Black Earl was an unstable variable. He deserved more attention than Rein, Poseidon, and other top wizards.
The Black Earl was invited, but he didn't attend the meeting, which made Monkey even more uneasy.
Many things happened after that. In the end, Monkey used "Glory of Frost" in exchange for Black Earl's promise that he would not interfere with the Moonfrost Union's operations in the Abyss Plane.
In fact, Monchi was overthinking things. The Black Earl had never thought of doing anything to Monchi. Everything was just Monchi's imagination.
However, Monkey's imagination did bring some benefits to the Black Earl.
The Moonfrost Union had two great treasure vaults, which were also the most valuable rewards. They were the Glory of Frost and the Moon Emblem.
The Glory of Frost was a treasure vault. It contained all kinds of resources obtained by the Moonfrost Union after exploring a general plane.
The Moon Emblem contained knowledge collected from different planes. It was called the "general plane library".
Both the Glory of Frost and the Moon Emblem were extremely attractive to all wizards in the southern wizardry region, including the Black Earl.
Speaking of which, Angor was also given the chance to enter the Moon Emblem by Monkey. However, Angor didn't dare to do it. Monkey didn't want Angor to get the reward. Instead, he wanted to use it as an excuse to lure Angor into his trap.
Unlike Angor, the Black Earl went without hesitation. Even if Monkey tried to trick him, he could easily escape. Besides, Black Earl didn't go with his real body. He used a clone. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of any threats.
Black Earl went to Frost Essence. In Frost Essence, he received a mysterious invitation letter. This invitation letter was the ticket to enter the special Secret Realm "Evening Bell Sacred Hall".
The Evening Bell Shrine was located in the void of the Abyss Plane.
It was a strange building with a strong sense of religion. No one knew where it came from, or whether it was built in the Abyss Plane.
The only thing they knew was that the Evening Bell Shrine had incredible power and strict rules.
To enter the shrine, one had to obtain an invitation.
If one didn't have an invitation and forcefully entered the Evening Bell Sacred Hall, they would completely lose themselves and become an ignorant watchman of the Evening Bell Sacred Hall.
However, if one entered the shrine with an invitation, they would be exempted from losing their sense of self — limited to one hall.
In other words, one could visit one of the halls inside the shrine. As long as one left before the bell rang, they wouldn't lose their sense of self.
The Evening Bell Shrine contained many secrets. One could gain a lot by visiting just one hall.
It was said that one could gain even more immunity by going to the center of the shrine.
However, one would be randomly teleported into the shrine. There was no choice.
"After I entered the Evening Bell Sanctuary, I was transported to a place that had never been recorded before." Black Earl remained silent for a moment. "But it wasn't any hall. It was a … stable."
"It was small, just like any other house. There were many decorations, but most of them were useless."
Just as Black Earl lamented the unfairness of fate and thought that he was unlucky, a lantern hanging on the door emitted a bright light.
When the light enveloped Black Earl, a large amount of information was transmitted over.
According to the information, the lantern had the ability to illuminate the sea of memories.
To put it bluntly, it could reflect the scenes in the memories and do whatever one wanted in the memories.
What was "do whatever one wanted in the memories"?
For example, let's say you fought a duel with an old enemy, and you lost in the end. You were unwilling to give up. You could use the lantern to illuminate the scene of the battle. You could simulate the battle with your old enemy infinitely in your memory. Through the simulation of the battle, you could improve your fighting ability and your chances of winning against your enemy.
This was a proper example of using the lantern. Of course, you could also use the improper method.
You could do whatever you wanted. "Do whatever one wanted" was completely possible. It was just that everything was in the memories and not in reality.
The lantern's ability was very powerful. Unfortunately, the lantern couldn't illuminate Black Earl's memories.
This was because a memory node was already recorded in the lantern.
Only the owner of the lantern could delete this memory node.
Although Black Earl couldn't delete this memory node, he could still use the lantern to experience this memory node. Moreover, he could experience it infinitely.
There was no doubt that this memory node contained the memories of the owner of the lantern.
Black Earl was also very interested in the owner of the lantern. Thus, he entered this node and … started to experience it infinitely.
