Chapter 275 False Sense of Time
[——However, how did you know about this ritual? This is a ritual developed by the old man... Did he really leave behind some legacy? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Since you said you don't know him...]
[——Then I guess you won't care. Your grandfather was cursed to death by me, right?]
The voice of the giant prince Wolfram sounded in Aiwas's heart.
Now Aiwas put aside his anger and impulse, and carefully disassembled this sentence, chewing it word by word.
He soon realized that Wolfram respected his grandfather very much in his subconscious mind - and he believed that Jacob left behind some kind of "legacy".
It was because he was sure that Jacob was dead, but he didn't know where Jacob died. So he pretended to curse the other party.
If Aiwas's reaction was intense, it meant that Aiwas had not contacted Jacob and had not obtained his legacy; on the contrary, if Aiwas had contacted Jacob, he would know that it was not him who did it.
As a control group, another giant said this at the same time:
[——Was he injured by the curse flowing in his blood? By the way, do you know how your biological parents died? 】
Evans was extremely contemptuous of his words at that time.
He thought they knew nothing at that time... But after Aiwas mocked them, the two of them were hit and disappeared without any resistance.
—— They could have attacked Aiwas. The mirror image of the mirage could also inherit some attack power.
But they didn't.
Because their goal had been achieved.
When Aiwas mocked them, they immediately realized... Aiwas knew how his parents died. At the same time, they also deduced that Aiwas did not get Jacob's relics.
Aiwas slowly clenched his fists.
He finally understood everything.
—— Aiwas still underestimated this giant who regained his rationality after losing his power.
This giant who was imprisoned from a teenager to an old age and thought alone for four hundred years in captivity without seeing the sun without going crazy.
It was just because the other party was a giant and acted very arrogantly.
Aiwass subconsciously added his stereotype of the giant to him - that was obviously the method Aiwass was best at using, but he just ignored it.
This is because Aiwass is also arrogant.
Fortunately, everything is not too late.
The other party used this method just to make Aiwass reveal information...
If nothing unexpected happens.
They are very likely to come or have already come to Eagle Point Village.
And another doubt was born in Aiwass's mind -
Who is his grandfather?
How could the "relics" he left behind be targeted by Professor Moriarty and the Giant Prince at the same time?
Aiwass didn't know how powerful Professor Moriarty, the final boss of 0, was now, and whether he had turned black and become a boss.
But he could at least confirm that the Giant Prince Wolfram was a powerful person of the fifth energy level!
And he suddenly escaped from prison more than ten years ago.
More than ten years ago - this time point happened to be close to Jacob's death.
Aiwass and his grandfather contracted strange headaches one after another, which was more than ten years ago; Professor Moriarty recruited the curse master Aziz, and Aiwass was adopted by the professor, which was also more than ten years ago; even the royal family of Avalon died one after another from the second one, the giant prince Wolfram escaped from prison, Jacob wrote a manuscript, Lily's mother was assassinated by Gray Green, and Yulia became a phantom egg... These things all happened "more than ten years ago".
Now it seems that everything may have happened in just two or three years.
And if we trace it back one or two years, it was the poisoning of the first royal heir of Avalon, the war between Avalon and Iris, the landing of Avalon by the Iris Army ten days after the war, the first time Meg showed her power and created the reputation of the "Ten Days War", the birth of Noble Red... and the day when Iben and Nobel were recruited.
Among these things, which things are related to each other?
Aiwass fell into deep thought.
He felt that he was still missing a key link.
But he could at least be sure of one thing - that is, Jacob's manuscript did not seem that easy to find.
The good thing was that other people who also wanted to get the manuscript would not find it so easily.
Although Aiwass arrived late, he might have arrived the earliest.
This village was a bit strange.
If you don't take the path introduced by the acquaintance, you can't find its existence at all - the more you relax your communication with ordinary townspeople, the later you will get the exact coordinates of Eagle Point Village.
Aiwass regretted letting the two griffin aunts go back.
But there was no way... At that time, he didn't know that the subsequent development of the matter would turn out like this.
After standing there and politely asking for some details, Aiwass said goodbye to old William.
Although Haina didn't understand what Aiwass and Grandpa William were talking about, she and her griffin Liz were also having a lot of fun, so she didn't feel bored.
They stood there and talked for at least more than 20 minutes.
But when Aiwas looked up, he found that the sky was still dusk - and when Aiwas and his group followed Haina to her house, the sky here was still dusk.
"... Such a long dusk."
Even Sherlock couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this a problem no matter how you look at it?"
"Why?"
Haina was a little confused: "Is it...very long?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you think it's long? Is it any different from your experience on the Glass Island?"
Haina was a little confused: "Is there any?"
Hearing this, Sherlock took out a silver pocket watch from his arms.
He opened it and checked the time.
But soon, his expression darkened.
"It's really not long."
Sherlock said slowly: "It has been less than three minutes since we saw Haina."
Hearing this, Lily froze on the spot.
And Aiwass also asked seriously: "Are you sure, Detective? Did you remember the time correctly?"
Not to mention how long Aiwass had been chatting with the old supervisor...it took more than three minutes to walk from the north end of the village!
"I know it's incredible. But I'm sure we only passed three minutes."
Sherlock said seriously: "I have already picked up the watch since I saw the light again."
Hearing this, even Haina felt something was wrong: "Could it be that... some force moved your pocket watch? I feel like we did not meet for long... Otherwise, I would have been bored long ago and rushed you. Leave quickly."
Aiwass's heart sank.
He and Sherlock looked at each other, and then said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, I may know... why you are often late."
"...Are you saying that my perception of time is wrong?"
Haina was shocked.
She was about to refute, but suddenly recalled that the first time she had the "symptom" of "losing consciousness after reading" was when she left her hometown and went to junior high school in Bagpipe Town.
At that time, she was often said by her classmates to be a child cursed by a sand clock - whether she was reading, practicing sword practice or running, she would feel like hours had passed by accidentally.
It was as if the time had jumped to the end just for a moment.
Time seems to pass particularly easily with her.
She doesn't feel the slightest bit, nor does she feel tired because of it, nor is she lazy or distracted...
Because for her, it didn't take that long at all.
When she was in elementary school, she never had this strange "genius disease" at all.
...So, could it be that the problem is not "age" but "location"?
As long as she is not in her hometown, she will suffer from a strange "disordered sense of time" syndrome.
This made her grades extremely good, but at the same time it hindered her work and caused her a lot of trouble.
And as she left home longer and longer, the time she deviated gradually returned to the center line...
The best example is that when she first met Aiwass, she could still give it a few hours; but now she can control it to about half an hour.
For a moment, Haina didn't know what to say.
She only felt a ridiculous yet frightening feeling coming over her heart——
Could it be that she was not "cursed by the sand clock" like the children joked, but was actually cursed by the Amber God?
At this moment, she suddenly looked up.
The others were also startled and raised their heads as if they noticed something.
I was shocked to find that at some point, a deep moon was already reflected in the sky.
Night fell, but no one present noticed it. Instead, Haina was the first to notice something was wrong.
Ever since entering Yingjia Village, everyone's sense of time has gone wrong.
"Run faster!"
Haina's expression suddenly changed: "If you haven't entered the house by night...sometimes you will encounter the undead army traveling at night!"
