A noun entry: Wizard

The power of gold is incredibly strong for mortals.

It was quite easy to persuade the stubborn old village chief to change his mind.

The four found a vacant house in the village where they could stay temporarily.

The room was very messy, with dust covering every corner, but they had no time to care about that.

Being in a ruin makes these things minor.

Even the two female wizards, who were usually very clean, didn't say anything.

"What should we do next? Should we continue exploring this little village?" Evelyn asked.

"That's all we can do. Let's see if there's anything unusual about this village."

"By the way, be careful not to use supernatural powers such as mental power or magic, so as not to provoke the resistance of unknown forces within the ruins."

Brad instructed.

"The God of Time that the old village chief mentioned earlier is probably a breakthrough point. We can explore from this angle," said Clover.

"Alright, let's each investigate the situation in this village... But no, it's better not to split up, let's act together."

Russell thought for a moment and said.

In the heart of this seemingly peaceful but actually perilous ruin, splitting up would be the most foolish thing to do.

The other three had no objections. At this time, although it was quite conspicuous for the four of them to act together, there was no other way.

If any problems arise, the four of them working together will be much more effective.

If we really encounter some insurmountable danger, at least we'll die knowing why, all four of us together.

The moment Russell stepped out the door, he sensed something was wrong. He quickly pulled back the leg that had just stepped out, but it was too late.

In that very instant, the little house he lived in vanished, returning him to where he started.

"Lord Russell, this site is so dangerous, you must protect me."

Clover looked pitiful and moved closer to Russell, gently taking his hand in hers.

Evelyn took two steps forward, somewhat annoyed, pulled him aside, squeezed between the two, and grabbed Russell's arm.

Russell frowned and remained silent.

Once again, time has turned back.

This time, I remembered much more, but I still hadn't reached the key points.

"Lord Russell, what's wrong?"

Evelyn was initially pleased that Russell hadn't broken free, but she quickly sensed something was off and noticed that Russell's expression was rather strange.

She tactfully released her arms and asked with concern.

"From the moment we entered this site, we were probably already affected by it."

Russell said in a deep voice, "We've been trapped in time travel, and we don't know how many times."

"And the fact that I now possess the memories of the two most recent rewinds suggests that we may have made a breakthrough in our exploration of the ruins."

"Lord Brad, you could try communicating with the mechanical creations you placed outside to see if they've lost contact."

"We can no longer leave this wizard's ruins; we can only continue exploring."

Brad paused for a moment, then subconsciously did as Russell had instructed, only to find that he really couldn't communicate with the outside world. His face immediately turned serious.

"We really can't communicate with the outside world..."

But then, as if realizing something, his solemn expression turned to excitement, and he asked, "Lord Russell, you just said we experienced time travel. Does that mean this ruin contains the power of the time element?"

Russell knew what the element of time meant to elemental wizards.

In the last time he relived the story, Brad was also very excited when he first received the news.

Then, faced with potential danger, they suppressed their excitement and proposed a temporary retreat.

Unfortunately, they had nowhere left to retreat.

"Lord Russell, could you please explain in detail what happened during these two time travels?"

"I asked with a serious expression."

Judging from Russell's expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

In addition, they are unable to leave the wizard's ruins.

Although Russell's idea of ​​time travel sounds absurd, Clover has become somewhat convinced.

Russell mentally organized the order of his words and concisely expressed the matter.

He also relayed to each of the three a sentence they used to convince their future selves of the truth during the time travel.

"Yes, I'm the only one who knows this." Clover blushed. What was her mindset in the future that led Russell to relay this sentence?

Brad and Evelyn also had strange expressions, but they both believed in the time reversal.

What Russell said was something they would never normally say to outsiders in their entire lives.

But if something as absurd as time travel were to actually happen, only a very few things, including this one, would make them choose to believe it.

And this matter, relatively speaking, can be barely discussed with outsiders...

Evelyn took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then she saw Clover leaning closer to Russell.

"Lord Russell."

Clover blushed deeply, her cheeks turning as if they were about to bleed, and said shyly, "Now that you know about that matter, I have no choice but to repay you with my body."

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned against Russell.

"Tell me what's wrong, and then marry me."

Evelyn, with a murderous look on her face, grabbed Clover's shoulder.

Seeing the two girls bickering, Russell's somewhat gloomy mood eased considerably.

A moment later, the group headed toward the core area.

No matter how many times time is rewound, they will ultimately be able to leave the ruins only after deciphering the core of these ruins.

The fact that it can trigger time travel precisely indicates that the danger level of this site is at least relatively safe.

Based on the current situation, there will be no casualties.

Next, Russell and the others went directly to the village and entered it.

The desolate Gobi Desert has been transformed into a dense forest once again.

Having learned his lesson, Russell did not choose to enter the house again, but instead directly used gold to inquire about information from the village chief.

……

"Evelyn, Clover."

Russell hesitated for a moment, looking at the two women in front of him and then glancing around, feeling that something was amiss.

"What's wrong, Lord Russell? Do you feel that old woman Evelyn is wasting our time together?"

Seeing Russell's thoughtful expression, Clover asked.

"Who are you calling an old woman?" Evelyn snapped.

"You're over a hundred years older than me, aren't you an old woman?"

"I have elven blood. Considering the lifespan of humans and elves, I'm only fourteen!"

"That's a ridiculous comparison!"

Russell remained silent.

Not right.

This is very wrong.
