Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 124 124. The Wall That Blocks the Light
It turns out that the crystal ball was an object on the city wall from the beginning, and the room used to house it was repaired later.

"Before this room was built, the crystal ball could not be seen, and no one could see it was there." Old Bill looked around the room built less than two years after he inherited the title, "I was young at the time, At the age of 23, I have the consciousness to be a young city owner."

Licia heard old Bill laugh twice.

"So, I think I should patrol the city tower every day. In the early years, the number of strange beasts was more than now, thanks to the previous emperor. But the wind and sand on the city wall always blurred my eyes. I feel uncomfortable is a trivial matter , as a city lord, it’s not good to always cry against the wind.” Old Bill said.

"Later you discovered this crystal ball." Licia took over the conversation, and the city lord Bill took a big sip of water from his teacup, "and discovered its secret." Licia cannot perform divination from the crystal ball .

"Perhaps as a reward for discovering it, I was able to communicate with it." Old Bill grabbed the white linen cloth on the table and wiped his wet beard.

"How did you do the divination? Is it a picture? A real picture?" Licia asked.

"Yes, the picture outside the city wall, as far as I can see." Old Bill pointed to the window facing the outside of the city wall. The picture seen in the ball."

The city lord Bill went on to say: "I want to know what the point of light you are talking about is through divination, but I forgot that you cannot be divined."

"Is this window always open?" asked Lycia.

"Yes, if it is turned off, the divination screen will not be clear enough." Old Bill said.

"Have you ever tried to seal it completely?" Licia asked. "Exactly. Make it opaque."

You can only see the pictures of the future. This prophecy is different, it is more like a machine that can play the pictures of the future.

What the eyes can see is the result of the light reflected from the surface of the object to the pupil, so this crystal ball is actually like collecting the light reflected in the future.

"I haven't tried it, maybe I can try it?" Old Bill asked tentatively. He was a little scared, afraid that the crystal ball would be unhappy, but he was old and would die soon, and the crystal ball couldn't save him. the people.

"Can you see pictures from the past?" Licia was still thinking.

"Yes, but you can only see the picture after the house is built." Old Bill said.

"What picture, the first picture is the picture of how far the house has been repaired?" Licia asked.

"The wall. This wall." Old Bill stood up, and he walked to the wall facing the city.

Lycia looked up at the apparently too-high window.

Light was left through the crystal ball.

Perhaps, tear down this wall, there will be a different discovery.

Licia glanced at Old Bill, and he obviously guessed something too.

"Mr. Bill, if, I mean, if, the crystal ball can no longer see the future, will you be, um, angry or depressed?" Licia asked tentatively.

"Yes, perhaps." Old Bill nodded embarrassingly. "But, I think, it's nothing compared to the residents of Cantooso."

If the secrets of Canteausu City came from Kaguya Knight, then he would not write these riddles in a serious way.

Harris said the puzzle, drawn on the undersea channel, is that of the sun goddess.

It shows that Kaguya Knight didn't solve this puzzle, maybe because he didn't see the jumping light spot, maybe he didn't find a crystal ball on the city wall.

But now, Licia felt that she was very close to the answer, perhaps just a wall away.

"Thank you, Mr. Bill."
