How much time do I have?
The long-haired girl couldn't help but look at Ye Qing seriously, and then her eyes gradually became focused.
When she first arrived, she only saw the Third Highness, and the other existences were no different from insects and ants.
So with just one word and one look from her, everyone in the Friends Club fell down neatly like young grass harvested by a sickle in spring.
But it wasn't until this moment when she looked at Ye Qing seriously that she truly saw clearly the girl with the lowest strength in front of her.
"Lingxi?" She raised her eyebrows slightly and said a convoluted word, then smiled slightly and shook her head: "It is very dangerous for Ye Xuanyin's descendants to ask for their future from others."
Ye Qing nodded, but his tone remained firm: "I don't ask about the future, I just want to know how much time I have."
The long-haired girl nodded slightly, then glanced at the sky.
"When the daylight disappears and darkness falls, the Celestial Bell will try to take the first step towards the world."
"In my original vision, that filthy and evil skeleton would swallow up and pollute one-third of the world, and then be sealed in the abyss of death with the deepest curse. But when I saw you, I saw My future has become slightly looser. Girl, you carry such a heavy weight of cause and effect. Every step is a dance on the tip of a needle. Your feet are riddled with holes and dripping with blood, but you are still willing to walk consistently. Next, I praise you, girl."
The long-haired girl had a look of surprise and compassion on her face. She looked at the girl and uttered words that sounded like prophecies and sentence fragments, and then shook her head.
"I said something I shouldn't have said, and I apologize."
Saying this, the girl sitting cross-legged on the snow disappeared in an instant like smoke.
Ye Qing didn't know why, but he suddenly had the illusion of being wound up.
When the clock's spring is tightened again, time has just begun to flow.
She looked around and found that the people she was looking for were all in sight, but.
Just now, the sister of His Highness the Third Highness said such sad words to her, but no one around her looked at her with any concern.
She said those words that she would never forget once she heard them once, but she said them calmly, but among the many people present, only she wanted to hear them, and she was the only one who was qualified to hear them.
The Third Highness stood at the far end, thoughtfully. Although she was the one who should be cared about the most, no one took the initiative to ask her questions.
Ye Qing looked at Ao Xuehua and bit his lip gently: "Sister, what happened just now is true?"
The power of the other party was beyond imagination. Now it seemed that Ye Qing couldn't even confirm what he saw and heard. He couldn't confirm whether what the nine of them experienced together was the same.
So which of the things Ye Qing thinks he has experienced are true? Which ones are fake? If the other party is a saint, Ye Qing really doesn't even have this confidence.
Ao Xuehua sighed.
"I kind of figured out who that person was."
She said this and smiled bitterly: "If it's her, then it's all true. It just depends on her mood. Some people will have more experience, and some people will have less experience."
Then she looked back at Mo Xiaojing: "Damn Xiaojing, your senses are more sensitive than mine. How long did she use it?"
Mo Xiaojing shrugged, his expression a little sad.
"That big box just locked us up for about a second."
Ye Qing felt that he had grasped something, but his level and knowledge were far inferior to these two people, so he could only ask: "What do you mean?"
Qi Xia rubbed her shoulders, as if she wanted to find these invisible holes. When she heard the inquiry, she couldn't help but smile and said: "That saint is in charge of the river of time. Just now she cut off a corner of the river and made a separate box. When we When you realize she exists, you are already in the box, and when she leaves, the box finally disappears.”
"So, the long time we have experienced, for the real world, all this has just passed for a second. This is the big box, and inside the big box, she made many small boxes casually. If she is interested in someone If people are interested, then someone has the opportunity to stay in the little box for a little longer.”
Qi Xia thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Qing: "It's hard to understand, right? Can you think clearly about the move she just made indiscriminately?"
Ye Qing's eyes widened.
Qi Xia nodded: "That's when we entered the small box and turned around. It was only when this move was used that the president realized what her ability was. After the president pointed it out, I Just figured it out."
Ye Qing covered his head: "Where did you learn such unpopular common sense?"
Ao Xuehua touched Ye Qing's furry head and wrote lightly: "It's normal that you don't know the common sense related to the Yin tribe, Xiaojiu."
Ye Qing looked at the other party and asked in a low voice.
"who is she?"
Ao Xuehua shook his head: "There is a saint from the Yin clan whose name cannot be revealed. Since she is unwilling to identify her, we dare not say it out without permission."
"But Xiaojiu, you only need to know one thing. As long as she is even one thousandth more malicious towards us, we will have no chance of standing here."
Then Ao Xuehua sighed softly.
"These are no longer top priorities. If things pass and I have time, I will tell Xiaojiu the stories of those hidden tribes in detail, but now."
Ao Xuehua raised his head and looked at the Third Highness. The girl in black clothes and red hair had returned to her usual expression.
"Senior, you can't move anymore."
His Highness the Third Highness hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly: "I can send a message."
Ao Xuehua shook his head: "It's useless. Maybe dad can come here after getting the coordinates, but he is the only one who can't come. For the rest, even Teacher Lin Xi can't come in time."
The red-haired girl lowered her head: "Sorry."
"You are the only one who doesn't have to apologize." Ao Xuehua raised his head and smiled, then opened his arms and hugged His Highness tightly in his arms.
The President is a tall and slender woman with a long-established figure, while the Third Highness has the figure of a girl on the verge of development. Therefore, the President is a full head taller than the Third Highness, and she feels like she is holding a porcelain doll in her arms.
His Royal Highness was slightly startled.
She never thought that the other party would directly act like this. Originally, she could just rely on instinct to teleport, become invisible, or use various other methods to avoid this hug.
But maybe it was because of his weakness after the war, or maybe it was other reasons.
The girl was quietly held in the arms of the other party, and the warm and soft touch of the other party slowly came clearly from the other side of the cloak.
"I always knew there might be such consequences, but I always thought it would be the next time, always thought it would be the last time. Thank you, and then, thank you for being willing to help us like this."
The Third Highness lowered his head in the other person's arms and spoke softly.
"I don't know what I have to thank you for."
The girl who quietly lowered her head like a nestling bird paused for a moment, then quietly raised her right wrist.
Then Ao Xuehua saw a bunch of bracelets.
It was a pure black bracelet with thumb-sized beads carefully intertwined. At first glance, there was nothing surprising about it.
You can't feel its existence, and you can't explore the mystery inside it, but to the naked eye, it is just an ordinary bracelet that is too black.
But Ao Xuehua finally let out a long sigh.
"Shadow Chain."
His Highness the Third Highness nodded quietly and repeated.
"Shadow Chain."
Only Ge Sheng looked at the wonderful expressions on everyone's faces when they heard this term without knowing it, because he really had never heard of this name.
When Ge Sheng looked at Ye Qing with questioning eyes, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly and explained.
"Shadow Chain."
"The first semi-artifact in this world since the beginning of the world."
Although Ge Sheng had been diligent and studious since he was young, the scope of his diligence and involvement was what An Ning believed that a normal boy should be involved in. Things like this involving the highest secrets were definitely not things that a normal boy should know.
Ao Xuehua looked at the confused expressions of the people around him, finally calmed down and explained calmly.
"The Chain of Shadows was born ten thousand years ago, in the era of the war of hundreds of races. Since its birth, it has been pursued and fought for by countless people. Many races were even united and annihilated because of it."
"However, its first owner was not one of those hidden people with noble blood and extraordinary talents, but a human being with an ordinary background."
"His nickname is Shadow Lord."
"He was the most brilliant genius of mankind in that chaotic era. He single-handedly maintained the weak balance between mankind and many hidden tribes. Although he had never crossed the threshold of the divine realm, he still achieved the ultimate level of cultivation. Suppression for the ages.”
"But people will die eventually. When the Shadow Lord's life span was exhausted, after dealing with a series of funeral affairs, he bequeathed the Shadow Chain to his close friend who had forgotten all the years. Before he died, he engraved the Shadow Chain on it. The first magic."
"His name is Shuying."
"The Shadow Lord is the controller of time and darkness. He has mastered the mysteries of magic far beyond his current knowledge. However, before he died, he used an auxiliary magic that he created but had no offensive capabilities as the last word of his life. Imprint.”
"So that bracelet, from its original namelessness, was also called the shadow chain."
"The shadow is a permanently blessed magic effect. It will continuously record the light and shadow around it and then store it in it. Therefore, every holder of the shadow chain will have the opportunity to observe the fragments of his predecessor's life, no matter what. Whether it's training or fighting, the Shadow Chain will provide him with unparalleled experience and skills."
"So from then on, the inheritance of the Shadow Chain has become traceable."
"And every change of chain owner will bring bloodshed to the world."
"The name of that best friend who has been forgotten is Qiong Luo. Since the Shadow Lord gave her the Shadow Chain, she will naturally have the confidence to keep the bracelet. Qiong Luo was born in a powerful family that is now extinct, but was quite powerful at the time. Qiong Luo Luo Nai is the most powerful Grand Mage of Wind and Earth in the records. With the help of the Shadow Chain, she successfully made his tribe dominate the world and became the most powerful hidden tribe of that era. As a legacy of the Shadow Monarch , she also carved her most proud magic on the second bead of the shadow chain."
"Ancient Forbidden Curse - Lan."
"This is a defensive forbidden spell that Qiong Luo improved and carried forward from the inheritance of her clan. The composite barrier defense of wind and earth is recognized by the magic world as an unbreakable barrier. However, with her death, unbreakable became False.”
"For some reason, Qiong Luo didn't choose an owner for the shadow chain before she passed away, so her bracelet was taken over by the clan and prepared to be passed down from generation to generation as a clan treasure."
"However, the common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade."
"When Qiong Luo was alive, she still dominated the world with her own strength. But after Qiong Luo's death, her tribe was jointly besieged."
"Not to mention the process, we already know that the species has disappeared, but the shadow chain has a new owner."
"This time it's a slightly familiar figure."
Ao Xuehua stopped speaking and looked quietly at His Highness the Third Prince in his arms.
His Highness the Third Highness nodded quietly and said.
"Xi Guang."
Ao Xuehua nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The leader of that clan became the third owner of the Shadow Chain, and due to the changes brought about by this siege, the gods on the other side finally chose to intervene in the world, and the war of hundreds of clans At the end, the remaining seven races accepted the favor of the gods and became the hidden race."
"So, the patriarch took charge of the Shadow Chain as a saint, and this control lasted for thousands of years."
"Originally, we wouldn't even know the name of the third magic he carved. However, even a saint will eventually die."
"Even if time cannot defeat him for the time being, the saint is not invincible."
"Say, there is a second saint."
"The magic he carved is quite satisfactory, but it is extraordinary. The ancient forbidden spell of light - Yu."
"It's a terrifying magic that establishes the world with just one word."
"In the land of gods on the other side, another saint successfully killed the third master in a public restricted duel, and then the shadow chain became her bag as a trophy."
"I'm afraid this fourth master is already very close to us." Ao Xuehua said softly with an inexplicable expression.
Then His Highness the Third Prince spoke quietly.
"Shadow."
"Yes, the Yin clan, which is now in decline, was an extremely tyrannical existence at the time. However, it was precisely because of the death of that clan leader that the new clan leader was able to overcome everyone's objections and finally succeeded in getting rid of the gods. In our world , we call the new clan leader the initial leader."
"But precisely because of this bracelet, after that clan was demoted by the gods and demons, her clan successfully became the second generation of demon dependents. But no one thought that this great glory would be the bitterest poison in that era. .”
"Because that adult was born."
"In that war for the dependents, the saint, who is still the only female patriarch of the Hidden Clan, brought this bracelet to fight with that man of heaven, but in the end he lost after several days of hard fighting, and the Shadow Clan suffered heavy losses. , the entire clan was forced to hibernate underground.”
"It was during that war that the fourth magic of the Shadow Chain surfaced."
"But what is unexpected is that the magic this time is completely incompatible with the field that the matriarch is good at."
"Chihiro Chihiro."
"The ancient forbidden spell of the wind system that has been dusty for a long time, the strongest physical attack forbidden spell known to mankind, was engraved in it by the patriarch so carelessly."
"And when the Shadow Clan fled underground, the Shadow Chain disappeared, and the name of this chain was no longer heard in the world."
Ao Xuehua looked at the ordinary string of beads and sighed.
"But who could have imagined that this magical object, which has only changed hands three times in thousands of years and has stirred up troubles, would appear in the hands of senior sister so easily."
