Seeing Li Xize speaking out every word of greeting and taking several minutes to say a word, Cooper had given up communicating and turned to the goblin on the side who clearly understood the situation better.
"They are traveling with thirteen wizards," the goblin didn't mean to hide anything. "They are going to a tomb at the bottom of the pyramid that we have not yet set foot in. As you can see, among the thirteen wizards who have reported, only one has returned. There are four of them, and this Mr. Li is one of them, and he is currently the one in the best condition.”
Of the remaining three, two are still unconscious and one is still unable to communicate.
Although Li Xize reacted slowly, he still responded at least.
After explaining the situation, the goblin stood up and said goodbye. He only came to see his guests out of "humanitarianism". In fact, he didn't care about the life and death of these wizards at all. Can wizards be more charming with gold coins?
Cooper sent the goblin away and turned around to see his wife dragging their son away from Li Xize on the bed.
Noah didn't avoid it either. Li Xize was still staring blankly at the place where the few people were standing, and it took a while before he even blinked.
It does look like he has been hit by some unknown curse. In this case, there is really no problem in avoiding contact, especially for his wife who is sometimes overly sensitive to Noah's safety. It is already good to pull Noah away now.
Noah didn't struggle, but even though he was pulled away from the person, his eyes were still staring at Li Xize on the bed.
Cooper noticed his expression. Noah's eyes didn't seem to simply fall on Li Xize, but were looking at something else. His concentration seemed to be seeing something unusual.
Cooper subconsciously looked at Li Xize, who was slowly turning his head and looking at Noah.
Noah seemed to have noticed something, and he frowned and looked at Li Xize's hand.
"Noe?" Cooper called Noah.
Noah looked at his father and frankly stated what he saw: "Dad, time on him has been slowed down."
Cooper was stunned: "Time?"
He looked at Li Xize, who was looking at them doubtfully, as if he was confused about something, but he was confused before he could ask.
With such a slow reaction, it is not impossible to say that time has been slowed down.
But...time magic?
Cooper's expression became serious. Until now, time magic has been the most mysterious magic. So far, the only time magic that wizards know about is the time converter, which is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. The function of this magic item is to allow Going back one hour in time has quite a lot of restrictions, because time magic is extremely unstable, and once the time rules are seriously violated, it will cause catastrophic consequences.
Moreover, no wizard has truly mastered time magic. At most, there are one or two alchemist masters who can make time converters.
The curse on Li Xize...
Cooper's frown deepened. This was no longer a problem they could handle.
Noah on the side also felt a little troubled, but he was more curious about knowledge.
Time magic is so powerful that every wizard who tries to master powerful magic will be eager to try this topic, but there are only a few who can truly master this power.
As a branch of the great law, the power of time cannot be considered the most powerful, but it is definitely the most mysterious.
In the past, Noah could only covet this kind of power, and then wonder when to apply for a time turner to study it, but he did not expect that one day he would encounter the curse of time first.
Yes, what is being imposed on Li Xize at this moment is a kind of curse, but more needs to be studied before he can make a conclusion. After all, Noah has not been exposed to this kind of power before, so he can recognize that it is the power of time because of it. He had studied it out of curiosity.
However, he was unable to study the situation at close range. Noah could only temporarily withdraw his gaze with regret. Anyway, he could always find an opportunity to contact Li Xize again.
As for Christina's concern about the spread of the curse, she would have been isolated long ago. Being placed here means that this curse will only target specific people. The only thing he has to worry about is not to accidentally touch the curse when trying to study it, to prevent other curse mechanisms from happening.
Noah didn't last long before his mother dragged him out of the room and returned to their own room.
Cooper chose to stay and continue to communicate with Li Xize. He needed to figure out what happened to Li Xize and try his best to help him. Not to mention anything else, just because he had saved Noah before was enough for him to find a way to help.
But seeing Li Xize talking for more than ten minutes, this exchange requires plenty of patience.
…
That night, Noah began to read about time magic in his own spiritual world.
Because of the holiday, he spent a rare night unbridled, and did not break away from the spiritual world until dawn.
The result of studying for a whole night was that when he woke up in the morning, he was completely out of energy and refused Christina's invitation to go out.
In desperation, Christina had no choice but to go out alone, while Cooper needed to go to the hospital to communicate with the witch doctor inside about Li Xize's condition.
Noah was left in the hotel.
After his parents left, Noah recovered some of his severely exhausted mental energy and quietly left the room and walked to the next door.
He raised his hand and pressed the door handle. A faint light appeared on his hand, and he opened the originally locked door with a slight movement.
Li Xize is still sleeping. Because time has been slowed down, his biological clock has also been affected. What's more, even if he can hear the door at this moment, he can't react in time.
Noah entered the room quietly, arrived at the bedside silently like a ghost, and looked down at Li Xize.
A glimmer appeared in his silver-gray eyes, and all kinds of energy around him began to materialize in his eyes, among which the aura of Li Xize was the most conspicuous.
It was a kind of magic power that looked like sand-like special gray-yellow particles. This weird magic power was like some kind of rope wrapped around Li Xize's right hand. It looked dark and ominous, and it really felt like a curse. .
"The power of time is actually used to curse. It's a waste of resources." Noah raised his right hand, and the crimson marrow liquid originally hidden under his short sleeve flowed down his arm, wrapping his fingers like a red glove. .
Noah pressed his fingertips on the cursed magic and closed his eyes: "Analysis."
The light blue magic power formed a complex circular magic array at his fingertips. As the four rings began to rotate at different speeds, the curse's magic power also began to fluctuate slightly.
