For a moment, even Baiyi, who had seen many things, was dumbfounded. He held Mia in his arms as he stood on the street in a daze. The classical-style stone buildings, the passersby dressed in robes, and the slogans that were written in the Ancient Rohlserlian Language were all telling him that he was in the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire from six thousand years ago.
His first judgment was that he was in a mysterious illusion and subconsciously wanted to pinch his own thigh. However, he was carrying the unconscious Mia in his arms, so he could not free his hand. Hence, he could only take a step back and pinch Mia's thigh that was wearing white knee socks …
'Hmm, it's as smooth and delicate as always. This is not an illusion.' Furthermore, with the strength of his consciousness and psychic energy, he did not believe that there was an illusion in this world that he could not recognize.
'What's going on here? Time travel to the past? Baiyi shook his head. As a scholar, he knew that traveling to the past could easily lead to all sorts of unsolvable space-time paradoxes. It was impossible to achieve in academic terms; it could only be a fantasy. However, how could he explain this situation?
For a moment, Baiyi's mind was a mess. Instinctively, he wanted to contact the Voidwalker, but before he could do so, a passerby seemed to have noticed him. The passerby approached and asked, "Who are you? Why are you wearing armor during the celebration? "
Baiyi turned his head and saw a young man in his twenties. He was dressed in a robe that resembled a sorcerer's robe. He was speaking a language that Baiyi was very familiar with, but he had not spoken it for a long time. It was Ancient Rohlserlian.
"I am a lost traveler. May I know where this place is?" he replied in perfect Ancient Rohlserlian. "I am a lost traveler. May I know where I am?"
"This is the town of Ael. We are … Wait a minute. What's up with the girl in your arms? Why are you dressed like this? A peasant? "The passerby's voice suddenly became shrill, and he was about to shout for help.
Baiyi, without saying a word, cast a Psychic Control on the passerby. Naturally, the passerby could not resist it at all. His eyes went blank, and he stood in front of Baiyi like a puppet.
"Take me to a quiet place." Baiyi ordered in the Ancient Rohlserlian language. At the same time, he glanced down at Mia, who was in his arms. 'Why did you dress up so much just to go out? You almost caused trouble, didn't you?'
The young man nodded and replied with a dull tone, "My house is at the corner of the street."
After a while, Baiyi led Mia into the young man's house. It was a very ordinary house with all kinds of furniture and utensils that were obviously of the Ancient Rohlserlian style. Baiyi could not help but wonder if this place was just an environment or if he had really traveled back in time to the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire six thousand years ago.
He placed Mia on the small bed and wrapped her up like a silkworm. Then, he turned to the young man beside him and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Year 31 of the New Calendar," the young man answered.
During the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire, society was not as advanced as it used to be, so its calendar was based on a method that would drive historians crazy. Every new emperor would use a new calendar, just like the year 31 of the New Calendar. The only way to know was that the new emperor had been in power for 31 years, but no one knew what year it was exactly.
"Which emperor is currently in power?" Baiyi asked.
"His Majesty, the Great Rohlserlian the Nineteenth!" The young man replied. He was in a state of mind control without any self-awareness, but there was a look of worship and longing on his face. Even his wooden tone had risen slightly. One could imagine how high the status of Rohlserl the Nineteenth was in his heart!
"The Nineteenth?!" Baiyi did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was this really someone he knew? If Baiyi's memories were correct, and if time and space were not distorted, Rohlserlian the Nineteenth would be the legendary Sage-Emperor of the Magi, the First Walker of the Void. His teacher, the Moon's Old Clown, the Emperor Grandfather who was loved by his students.
'Have I returned to the time when my teacher was in high spirits?' Baiyi felt like he was about to go crazy. He quickly searched for a Voidwalker to berate him, but as soon as he did so, he realized that something was not right.
The Voidwalkers were still around, but they did not respond. Baiyi could only sense their presence, but they were not moving at all, as if they had been petrified.
To be more precise, it was not that she did not move; it was just that she was abnormally slow. Baiyi poked the Warrior Walker with his consciousness, and she should have responded with a "hmph". However, the Warrior Walker Walker's consciousness did respond, but to Baiyi's eyes, it was like a slow-motion slideshow. It would take a few hours for the Warrior Walker Walker Walker Walker to respond.
Baiyi could only speculate that this was due to the difference in the flow of time between the two worlds. In this place, time passed much faster than it did in the real world.
"This is going to be troublesome …" Baiyi muttered to himself as he lowered his head to look at the new armor that he had put on that day. It seemed like the reason why he had encountered such a strange situation was because of this armor.
No wonder this armor had been passed down through so many different eras and legends. No wonder it did not look as old as it should have, even though it was engraved with the symbol of a formation. No wonder Baiyi could not understand it, even though it seemed to be related to the Laws.
It was because this armor could cause time to distort. As a scholar who did not believe in time travel, Baiyi subconsciously did not think in that direction. However, now that he knew its function, he could go back and look at the strange parts of the armor.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's an illusion or an alternate dimension. I'll just pretend that I've traveled back in time …" Baiyi could only come up with this plan. He did not expect to experience the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire as it really was. Speaking of which, with his knowledge from the modern era, his power, and his relationship with the current emperor, he would be like a fish in water in this ancient kingdom. He could easily become a winner in life who held a high position, had beautiful concubines, and went out with his lackeys to flirt with young girls.
'Pfft! I still have a lot of things to do in the real world, and I still have a bunch of beautiful girls waiting for me. I don't have the time to be a winner in life in this ancient era! The Church is about to give me a ride, and I don't have the time to enjoy life in this place!
But how am I supposed to go back? Baiyi had never believed in the myth of time travel, so he knew nothing about it. No matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do.
"It looks like I'll have to find a teacher from this era. He must have just inherited the throne, so he's still young, right? He's not that old geezer, either. He should be reliable, right? "Baiyi muttered to himself.
But how was he supposed to meet his teacher, convince him of his identity, and ask him for advice? Baiyi was faced with an even bigger problem.
The Sage-Emperor of the Magi was no longer the benevolent old man who had passed on everything to Baiyi. Instead, he was an emperor who was in his prime, at the peak of his life. Baiyi, on the other hand, had no idea where he came from, his identity was unknown, and he could not even explain why he could only move around in his armor. In this era, Soul Armature Practitioners had not been born yet, and Soul Armature had not been invented yet.
More importantly, Baiyi was worried that his actions might cause a butterfly effect. For example, if he told the Archmage that he would become the Old Geezer of the Void, and the Archmage believed him, he would try his best not to enter the Void. In the end, Baiyi would not be able to meet the Archmage, and he would not be able to become a Voidwalker. Then, his future would be ruined, and he would not be able to meet Mia, Tisdale, or even Attie. The other Voidwalkers would also disappear into the Void without his protection, and everything would be over.
In short, the butterfly effect was a very scary thing. You never knew what kind of impact your current actions would have on the future. Baiyi did not dare to act rashly, so he gave up on the idea of getting in touch with his teacher.
Maybe he should bring Mia to a rural place to stay and slowly figure out a way to return to the Void? At the same time, he could enjoy the time he had with Mia. That seemed like a good idea.
But who knew how long it would take for him to figure out the theory of time travel? A hundred years or a thousand years? What would happen in the real world while he was away? The situation in the real world was already very urgent. No matter how slow the flow of time was, it was still moving! What if when he finally returned to the Void, he found out that the Da Xue had been razed to the ground by the angels of the Church, all the Voidwalkers had been banished, and all the beautiful girls around him had been imprisoned?
For a moment, even the Fifth Walker, who prided himself on being omnipotent, was in a state of anxiety. He did not know what to do.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the door was pushed open. The person who came in had a voice as sweet as the sounds of nature. She shouted into the room, "Big Brother Nick! I just baked some pancakes! I brought some for you! Are you in your bedroom? I'm coming in now … "
As she spoke, the person walked through the living room and arrived at the bedroom where Baiyi was. She saw the strange armor sitting by the bed, the girl lying on the bed, and the young man standing beside her like a puppet.
