Jiang Bai quietly returned to Xumi City. Many people in the city were discussing the huge commotion in the suburbs.
He listened curiously, but didn't get any useful information.
Most of the people were very tired because of the void's suppression of intelligence. Even if there was a big commotion in the suburbs, they were not very interested.
Jiang Bai spent some time and returned to the underground. The house he lived in was still the same as before. Apparently no one came to find him yet.
He pretended to have just woken up and walked around wherever he could go underground.
The huge laboratory where the skirmishers were was still closed, and most of the scholars who had gone back to rest due to experiments did not come.
It is obvious that the God-making plan of the Order Academy has entered a new stage.
The next stage is to equip the skirmishers with "divine wisdom," a term that sounds very mysterious.
Jiang Bai also didn't know how the Order Council could let the skirmishers have the wisdom of gods, but they didn't think that Nasida had the wisdom of gods, so what exactly the "wisdom of gods" they thought was was up for debate.
Jiang Bai didn't worry when he couldn't see the stragglers. He went back to his room to sleep and waited for someone from the Teaching Order to come find him.
…
Kong also heard about the commotion on the outskirts of the city, and even went to the scene with a group of thirty people.
Looking at the messy hillside, Paimon covered his mouth in surprise.
"What kind of battle happened to make this place like this?"
A knowledgeable adventurer next to him couldn't help but show off his knowledge.
"I saw it. It was as if the sky had split open, and a huge hand holding a knife stretched out, and then it looked like this..."
"Huh? Why does it look so much like Wu Xiang's sword?"
Paimon looked at Sora with confusion on his face.
The mark caused by Wu Xiang's knife shouldn't be like this, right?
The traces here seem to be formed by two violent attacks.
Kong said thoughtfully, "Let's go back first."
In Xumi, Jiang Bai is the only one who can cause such a commotion.
Who did Jiang Bai fight again?
PhD?
"This doesn't seem to be the way back to the city."
"Let's go to Huachengguo."
In the dream, Nasida had told him in detail her current plan and ultimate goal.
In order to help Nacida get the heart of God, they have to unite those who can be united.
And Tinari was their first choice.
Huachengguo is still as quiet and peaceful as ever.
Kelai was sitting in front of the tree house basking in the sun, holding a booklet in his hand and writing down words he didn't know.
"Collet!"
"It's you!"
Ke Lai was also happy to see them back.
"Ke Lai, how is your health?"
Kelai shook his head slowly, "To be honest, it's not very good... I have temporarily put aside my work as a ranger. I have been recuperating at home recently."
"Have a good rest, we have found a way to truly cure World Tree! When World Tree is cured, maybe your magic scale disease will be cured."
"Really!" Kelai was very happy.
The possibility of being cured of the demon scale disease was simply something she didn't dare to think about.
Looking at Kelai's bright eyes, Paimon suddenly felt guilty.
Although she learned from Nacida that the magic scale disease is related to the disease of the World Tree, she really didn't dare to say for sure whether the magic scale disease would disappear after the World Tree.
If I say it so rashly now, it will be very disappointing if I can't do it by then.
"Demon scale disease can definitely be cured, Kelaiqian must have confidence!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Where's Tinari? Why didn't you see him?"
"Master got up early in the morning and went to patrol the forest. Judging from the weather, he should be back soon."
"Then it's almost time for lunch. Let's cook a delicious meal for you!"
The sun gradually rose above the head, and Tinari returned tiredly with everyone in the ranger team.
"Everyone, have a good rest. We have to patrol another route in the afternoon."
Everyone nodded, yawned, and dispersed in twos and threes.
"It's obviously the same patrol route, why do you feel so tired today?"
"Yes, it feels like I haven't slept in a few days. I can't wait to fall asleep immediately..."
"I thought I was the only one feeling this way, but it turns out everyone is the same..."
Everyone was talking about this obviously unusual tiredness, but they couldn't explain why.
Only Tinari looked serious.
On the way to patrol, he discovered that many people were abnormal.
For example, in his memory, the mushroom that had just grown yesterday had grown into a size that took two to three days to grow in just one night.
If it were just one such case, it could be explained as a special growth mutation, but along the way I encountered many plants that had undergone such changes.
This shows that time may not have passed a day.
As for where the lost time went? I'm afraid only great sages can know this.
"Tinari, you are finally back!"
Seeing Tinari, Pamon greeted him happily.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
Tinari was surprised to see them.
"Where's Abai? How is he doing?"
Jiang Bai followed the sage, making Tinari very worried about his safety.
"He is doing well and his memory is recovering naturally."
"That's good..." Tinari's tail swayed slightly behind him, and he felt a little better.
"You must have something to do with me when you come here this time." Tinari said firmly.
"Yes, yes, there is something very important."
"Master, I'm going back first." Knowing that they were going to talk about something, Kelai consciously stayed away.
"Come over for dinner later."
"Okay Master."
There were only three people left in the room, and Sora said seriously, "Tinari, you must have felt it, time has not actually passed a day."
"Well, according to my guess, at least two days had passed by the time we fell asleep."
Whether it was the strong hunger when he got up or his exhausted spirit, they all told him that something was unusual here.
"The sages extracted the dreams of all of us into [knowledge] and squeezed the computing power of our brains. This excessive squeeze has made many people's bodies unable to bear it..."
Paimon accused the sages of their evil deeds, and when he mentioned the point of anger, he stamped his feet in the air angrily.
"No wonder I feel so tired..." Tinari rubbed the center of his brow. This kind of fatigue caused by excessive mental consumption cannot be relieved in a short while.
A person in good health like him is so exhausted. It's hard to imagine how weak those with poor health will be.
Maybe he died directly because of this...
"We are here this time because we have important news to tell you."
Tinari was all ears.
"Your mentor has been imprisoned by the Great Sage for some time."
