Laplace told Angor about what she saw in the Sea of Mirrors.
She emphasized "one man, one beast, and half a city".
The so-called 'one person' referred to a Magus who was suspected to be a time-type Magus.
From the perspective of the recording, Angor assumed that the scene came from a water curtain hanging in the sky.
The water curtain might be a water dome, or it might be an ocean in the sky. Due to the angle, Angor could not see what exactly was going on. However, the scene on the ground reflected by the water curtain could be seen clearly.
On the ground, there was a witch wearing a colorful cloak. She was moving quickly among the treetops and quickly traversing through a forest.
However, she was not moving in the usual way. Instead, she was moving in a strange way.
Every time she took a big step forward, there would be two afterimages in front of her.
For example, if she wanted to go to a treetop 500 meters away, she would first create a Rainbow Shadow A at her destination. This Rainbow Shadow A was stationary.
After Rainbow Shadow A appeared, a Rainbow Shadow B would appear between Rainbow Shadow A and the witch about 250 meters away. Rainbow Shadow B also stayed in the same place, but it looked like it was running.
Not long after the two shadows appeared, the cloaked witch teleported to where Rainbow Shadow A was.
Once the cloaked witch arrived at her destination, the two phantoms disappeared.
Angor did not know what was going on. Laplace, on the other hand, was certain that this was some kind of time manipulation.
It looked like a teleportation spell, but it was actually a manipulation of time manipulation.
She used Rainbow Shadow A to simulate her final destination, which was a "result". She used Rainbow Shadow B to simulate her movement, which was a "process".
With the process and result of her movement, the "event logic" was established. Once she started moving, the "time logic" would also be established. If the "appearance logic" was correct, the final "result" would be a success, and the result would be reaching the destination.
This created a scene similar to teleportation. However, it was not teleportation. It was an illusion created to fool the time logic.
Laplace explained everything in great detail, but Angor still didn't fully understand what he was talking about.
After saying "one person", Laplace said "one beast".
This beast referred to an unknown demonic creature.
It looked like a snake. However, Laplace could not see its specific appearance, such as the patterns on its body, whether it had scales or not, whether it had a triangular head or an oval head, and so on. The creature's body was covered in a rainbow light, which blocked his vision.
Laplace saw the strange snake when he was looking at the "scenery".
Laplace did not look for any special memories in the Empty Mirror Sea. Instead, he was staring blankly at a certain image nearby. It was a "calm sea under the moonlight".
Laplace thought it was just a normal image. But suddenly, he saw an illusory shadow above the surface of the sea. It looked like a snake...
When Laplace's gaze fell on the illusory snake on the screen, the snake appeared beside him in the next second.
Yes, literally, the snake had come to the vicinity of Laplace's main body.
It emerged from the image of the Empty Mirror Sea and materialized in the Mirror Domain.
At that time, Laplace was shocked. It was the first time she had seen a creature jump out of the image.
And after the snake appeared in the mirror domain, its appearance still couldn't be seen clearly. Its entire body was covered by the rainbow light. After it appeared, it looked around.
It glanced at Laplace and then looked at the Empty Mirror Sea around them.
"So it was observed by a creature in the mirror domain. No wonder it fell out of the time gap. How dangerous. There are creatures living in the Empty Mirror Sea."
"Damn it. Whatever. I'm going back."
The glowing snake muttered these two sentences to itself before turning into a rainbow light and disappearing.
Laplace looked at the "calm sea under the moonlight" again, only to find no trace of the man in the picture.
This incident had a huge impact on Laplace. She had never thought that the person she was observing would jump out of the image and come face to face with her … However, it was also because the person appeared beside Laplace that she was able to capture the other person's aura.
By chance, Laplace was able to confirm that the aura on the snake was the power of time.
That was the story of "one beast".
However, the story of "one beast" was even more confusing than the story of "one man".
Also, Laplace was not clear about some of the details. For example, how did Laplace know that the aura was the power of time?
Since Laplace did not want to talk about it, he could only focus on the story itself.
Angor considered for a moment and asked, "Are you sure it's the one who said those words?"
"I'm sure. It didn't use words. It used a special kind of mental wave."
After confirming that the snake was the one who said those words, he began to think.
Two pieces of information could be gleaned from its words. First, it seemed to know about the Mirror Domain and the Empty Mirror Sea. Second, it clearly mentioned that it was being observed.
Inferring from the meaning of his words, it seemed that this snake fell out of the time gap because it was "observed".
Once observed, the snake's behavior would change.
This reminded him of a famous experiment from Earth that Jon once told him about.
In the end, he still couldn't figure out what this "unobserved" ability was. He did not know much about temporal abilities, so he had to put it aside for now.
Laplace's story of "one man and one beast" was already ridiculous enough. But the "half-city" he mentioned at the end was even more ridiculous.
Laplace did not know where the "half-city" was.
The "half-city" was shown through a glass window on top of a clock tower in a human city. There was only one side of the clock tower, and only one side was facing the city.
Therefore, the only scene shown in the picture was "half of the city" reflected in the glass.
However, through the "half-city", Laplace saw something very strange.
At first, one would think that this was a very ordinary human city … or rather, a small town, because there were no tall buildings. Looking at half the city, the tallest building was just a cathedral, and the highest point of the cathedral was not even as tall as the clock tower.
The other houses were all ordinary, with red walls and white roofs.
The town gave people the impression that it was clean, tidy, and mediocre.
But soon, the "half-city" image changed drastically. Thick dark clouds suddenly appeared in the clear sky, followed by a heavy downpour that poured down on the town.
As the heavy rain fell, the originally ordinary small town began to change.
The rain was like a brush that painted lead dust. In the blink of an eye, the clean town was covered in thick moss. The white walls of the houses began to show mottled marks.
The most obvious change was the tall church. The top of the church collapsed.
There was no external force trying to destroy the top of the church. Judging from the "half-city" image, there was only one reason for the collapse: aging.
It was not just the church and the houses that were aging. The people living in the town were aging as well.
It could be clearly seen that a young man was wiping the dust off the outer dial of the clock tower. Under the pouring rain, his skin began to age and spots appeared on his body. In just a few seconds, he crossed the dimension of time and became an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
After a few more seconds, the old man continued to age. Finally, he became a skeleton. Due to the weight loss, coupled with the strong wind and rain, the skeleton was blown down and finally fell to the ground, turning into dust.
This scene was already very surprising. However, what was more surprising was that the heavy rain did not only age people.
In fact, at the top of the clock tower, which was outside the glass window, there was not only the young man wiping the dust. There was also a middle-aged hunchback uncle standing at the edge of the clock tower.
He was originally directing the young man where to wipe the dust.
But unexpectedly, a sudden heavy rain turned the young man into a skeleton.
The middle-aged hunchback uncle was scared silly by the scene in front of him. He collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, there was a handrail beside him. Otherwise, he would have fallen directly from the top of the tower.
The heavy rain was still falling. The middle-aged hunchback uncle was actually exposed to the rain. However, miraculously, he did not age in the rain. Instead, he appeared younger.
In just a few seconds, the hunchback of the uncle disappeared. He grew taller, and his sallow skin became white and elastic.
Soon, a young man who looked somewhat similar to the uncle appeared in the image.
The heavy rain came quickly and stopped quickly. At this time, it had slowly begun to stop.
However, before the rain stopped, the uncle was still turning younger. A few seconds later, he appeared in the form of a teenager.
After a few more seconds, when the rain stopped, the middle-aged hunchback uncle turned into a six or seven-year-old child. If it were not for the oversized clothes he was wearing, and if Laplace had not seen it with his own eyes, no one would have thought that a middle-aged man could return to his childhood in a few seconds.
Judging from the changes of these two people, there seemed to be a pattern to the rain: the old would become young, and the young would become old.
However, this was not the case. Some old men turned into skeletons in the blink of an eye, and some children turned into babies in the blink of an eye and disappeared completely from the world.
Therefore, this was not a regular rain. Its changes, from the perspective of this "half city", were completely random.
The only thing Angor knew was that the rain contained the unknown power of time, which merged with the city and changed it.
This was the story of "Half City".
It was the most ridiculous of all "one man, one beast, and half city". However, it also fit Angor's idea of the power of time the best.
He still needed Laplace to explain the previous "one man and one beast", or to think about it on his own. However, this "Half City" directly demonstrated the power of time. Not only did it change the color of the earth and the buildings, but it also caused irreversible aging and aging of the living.
That was the power of time.
Angor understood "Half City" better than anyone else, but it was also the "Half City" that scared him the most.
According to the theory that the Black Earl had told him, changing the time in the outside world was not something that normal wizards could do. Even legendary wizards could not do it.
This time storm was either the work of an unknown, miraculous Adept, or the effect of a mysterious object.
Angor guessed that it had something to do with a Mystery item because he knew that the Prophet Temple kept a strategic Mystery city with a Huppa Coefficient of 75, called "Reincarnation City".
This "Reincarnation City" transformed into a city that went from being prosperous to being destroyed in three days. After three days, everything would be reset. Everything that had been destroyed would disappear. Everyone and everything would return to how they were three days ago.
Of course, this Mystery item was not just a simple three-day cycle. As a strategic Mystery item of the Prophet Temple, it had to have a deeper effect.
But just based on the surface effect, it was clear that this "Samsara City" was related to the power of time.
The rain in "Half City" represented both new life and destruction. If it wasn't the work of a miracle wizard, then it must be the work of a Mystery item.
Angor didn't know what the source of the Mystery item was, but it could be … rain.
Mystical items were never restricted to external appearances. It could be a city, or a heartbeat, or even a ray of light, or even a concept that sprouted out of existence.
If a Mystery item could take any form, it could be a rain.
Of course, this was just Angor's guess.
Speaking of which, there was another reason why Angor guessed that "Half City" was a Mystery item — something was missing.
The man and the beast in front of him both had rainbow lights that symbolized the power of time.
The shadow created by the cloaked witch had a strange rainbow light, and the snake that showed up when it was observed also gave off a rainbow light … Angor remembered.
Back in the underground cavern, Aikesi created the rainbow lines and the rainbow pattern above his head.
It was as if this strange rainbow light had become the symbol of time.
But "Half City" didn't have such a light at all.
It was impossible to say that the rain in the city had nothing to do with time. This was why Angor came up with a different theory.
However, regardless of whether this conjecture was correct or not, Lin Li could tell how amazing the Time Attribute was based on what he had learned from Laplace.
Anyway, when Angor left his heart, he was still dreaming about the strange power of time.
