A noun entry: Wizard

"Lord Brad, what do you mean by that?" Evelyn asked with a forced smile.

"This is not the time for jokes."

She looked at the mechanical construct on the ground and asked, "Is this thing broken? Lord Brad, can you fix it?"

"How could I possibly joke around at a time like this?"

Brad ruthlessly shattered Evelyn's illusions, "If we want to get out of this wizard's ruins, we'll probably have to crack it first."

"After going around in circles, we still have to decipher this relic in the end."

Evelyn gently rubbed her temples, looking somewhat helpless.

She finally made up her mind to leave the ruins temporarily.

But who could have imagined that this historical site would not let them leave?

"This situation is not common, but it has happened many times."

Clover said to Russell, "We haven't encountered them ourselves, but we've heard other wizards who have explored such ruins mention them."

"A very powerful treasure remains within the ruins, and the source energy it emits obscures the entire ruins."

"It's very simple for us to get in through the ruins stones."

"But when they wanted to leave, the lack of the Relic Stone as a medium prevented them from doing so."

"Now, the only way we can leave is to continue exploring this ruin and take the treasures from its core."

Russell nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The existence of such a relic containing precious treasures also proves how powerful this wizard was during his lifetime."

"Taking away the treasure will not be an easy task."

"Under normal circumstances, wizards exploring ruins will not suffer any casualties unless they are extremely unlucky."

"And even if such relics are very lenient towards wizards, there will still be wizards who have died."

Brad smiled wryly.

In a normal wizarding site, if one senses that things are hopeless, one can withdraw at any time, so there is naturally no danger.

These wizarding ruins must be explored, which naturally increases the casualty rate.

"Let's leave the village at the core aside for now and explore the entire site first to see if we can find anything."

"I'd also like to try and see if I can trigger time travel again," Russell said.

The other three wizards didn't have any better ideas either, so they followed Russell and explored the entire ruins.

Nothing was found.

They encountered no life at all; everything was a barren Gobi desert, unchanged.

In the end, the four of them arrived near the village.

"It seems we have to enter this village to leave this wizard's ruins."

"The only question is, what exactly are the requirements to trigger time travel?"

"Was my previous memory truly all of it?"

Russell stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Ultimately, no answer was found.

The four wizards each used their own spells and methods to explore the village time and time again, but all their attempts ended in failure.

Or rather, what they found out was just an ordinary little village.

There's nothing unusual about it.

But the more it's like this, the stranger it becomes.

Energy fluctuations cannot be faked.

What ordinary little village could have such energy fluctuations?

Moreover, this is the core of the ruins!

"No matter what, we have no choice but to go in and investigate. Staying outside isn't a solution," Evelyn said in a deep voice.

Then they walked towards the village and entered the small village through the gate.

As soon as they entered through the main gate, a cacophony of sounds filled their ears.

To their astonishment, many villagers suddenly appeared in the village!

This is different from what they see outside.

"Look outside the village!" Clover exclaimed.

Russell looked out of the village and saw that the desolate Gobi Desert in the distance had turned into a dense forest, and their village was built on a clearing deep in the mountains.

"We've traversed space without even realizing it... no, it must be the power of time itself; we've traveled back to who knows how many years ago?"

Evelyn murmured to herself.

"Let's get out of the gate and see if we can restore things to their original state," Brad said.

Russell and his companions left the village gate, only to find that nothing had changed.

Stepping on the damp earth, the same little village, full of life and with wisps of smoke rising from its chimneys, still stands before me.

Brad retrieved the mechanical artifact and began inspecting the surrounding area.

Evelyn squatted on the ground, picked up some soil with her fingers, and felt the incredibly real texture.

Her mental energy fluctuated violently as she tried to determine whether she was affected by an illusion.

Russell silently pushed his King Soul to its limit, and invisible soul fluctuations spread outwards.

Unbeknownst to the other three, it gradually enveloped the entire newly renovated wizard ruins.

"The power of the element of time."

Russell possessed the ability to perceive higher elements, but his affinity for the element of time was only 20%, compared to 40% affinity for the element of space.

It is extremely difficult to perceive.

However, as Russell pushed the power of the King's Soul to its limit, he still vaguely discovered some clues.

However, simply discovering it does not help the current situation at all.

Russell withdrew his soul power; for now, he could only take it one step at a time.

Based on the fact that nothing can be found outside, the key to triggering time travel lies within this village.

They may have already triggered many time travels.

Only the last time travel left Russell with fragmented memories, which served as a reminder.

"Everyone be careful, and then start exploring this village. We'll have to face it eventually."

Russell said in a deep voice, then walked back into the village.

At this time, these strange outsiders also attracted the attention of the villagers.

Many villagers rushed to the gate, watching Russell and his group warily.

"They're just ordinary people." Evelyn instinctively wanted to use "Charm of Humans," but was stopped by Corleone.

"It's best to be cautious and use traditional communication methods."

Clover stepped forward, revealing a naturally pure and sweet smile, and asked:

"We're lost, and we've run out of food and water. Where is this place? Could we ask if we could stay the night? We'll pay you."

Clover looked pitiful.

After seeing what Clover looked like, many young people in the village showed an infatuated expression.

They had lived in this small mountain village for more than ten years, and they had never seen such a beautiful girl before.

The elderly man at the head of the group wasn't buying it. He said sternly, "This is Sak Village. Outsiders are not welcome here."

"But then again, God of Time, we must help those in need... Well, lost travelers, you can stay here for one night at most."

"You must leave by tomorrow morning."

When the old man saw the large piece of gold in Brad's hand, he immediately changed his tune.
