Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 168 Past rights and wrongs·An encounter without answers

No, you can't!
  Qiaoceline screamed in horror, and at the same time tried her best to drive the spirit body down, but no matter how hard she tried to float downward, she could not resist the huge suction force from the sky.

"Do not--"

Realizing that her spirit body was approaching the suction force uncontrollably, Qiaoceline couldn't help but feel more and more frightened. However, this time, before she could shout out the follow-up words, her vision suddenly went dark and she couldn't see anything. , nothing can be felt.

……

Tick ​​~

Tick ​​~

Tick ​​~

When she woke up again, the terrifying sound of wind hidden under the sky was no longer in her ears. Instead, there were bursts of rustling sounds that seemed to be made by the movement of the hands of a huge clock.

here it is…?
  Qiaoceline opened her eyes carefully, trying to confirm her current situation. At this time, a sound of footsteps that was different from the sound of clock hands around her moved one step faster than her thoughts, affecting her thoughts.

"We meet again, the talented little magician of the Lifford family."

There was no time to be curious, no time to pay attention, a polite and kind low voice came to her ears just as the footsteps stopped abruptly.

"you are?"

"You can call me [World], Lord of Time and Space, or Gatekeeper of the Era. These are some titles that can represent my identity and origin." Faced with Qiaoceline's vigilance and vigilance, the owner of the footsteps was just not very present. He smiled happily and said, "Of course, you can also choose to skip the question of title. This is your freedom."

Free?
  Qiaoceline sneered sarcastically in her heart. At this moment, she was still more wary than surprised.

Because in her impression, the majestic figure who was once popular in the Second Era had long been completely annihilated in the long and profound history over the course of hundreds of years.

Although many historians finally characterized the adult's final disappearance as a disappearance, she still did not believe that someone would escape the constraints of life and time and live until now...

So, this person who seemed to have saved her was still lying to her, right? Just like a shake…

Thinking of Xiela, Qiaocelin couldn't help but lowered her head with complicated emotions, and fell into an indescribable silence.

"Of course, you are free to believe me or not."

Noticing the hesitant struggling look of the blue-haired girl in front of her, the man who called himself the Sage of the World chuckled lightly and took the initiative to give in.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiaoceline couldn't help being stunned. She waited cautiously for a while, and after confirming that the other party didn't have any additional words, she hesitated and asked, "Do you have any other conditions or anything else you want to say?"

"Correct."

The self-proclaimed sage of [the world] simply responded, still in an understatement.

"Then is there anything you need me to do?" Qiaoceline considered her words. After realizing that she had not expressed her meaning clearly, she hurriedly added anxiously, "Or maybe you have some other purpose in bringing me here. ?"

"If I said that I just helped you out of some good intentions, you wouldn't believe it, would you?"

The man who called himself [The World] still asked back calmly, not at all shaken or annoyed by the obvious distrust in the girl's words. “If you can directly state your purpose, then I may be more likely to fulfill my promise voluntarily.”

Listening to the voice of the person behind her who still had no emotion, Qiaocelin couldn't help but become more wary. She endured it, and finally boldly asked her truest thoughts.

"Well, since you definitely want me to give you a reason to help you, then I can only reluctantly tell you that you have been affected by the loophole in the law. I don't want to see this loophole expand, so I decided to help you. As for what you said, I want you to do for me, I'm sorry, you don't seem to be able to accomplish what I want in your current state, so I'll leave this transaction until later to repay me."

Seeing how stubborn the girl in front of her was, [World] smiled helplessly, rarely revealing the cruel truth hidden beneath the surface.

"Then how can I contact you in the future?"

After discovering that the existence behind her was exactly what she thought, and after her repeated questioning, she revealed her purpose, Qiaocelin couldn't help but smile with some pride, and then followed her thoughts further. asked.

"You will know the answer in the future. As for now, I can only tell you that I am sorry to tell you that you are not suitable to know the answer in advance."

[World] answered politely and reservedly.

Qiaoceline tried to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she realized that she had no right to ask for more, and she was not confident enough to swallow all the questions.

"Okay, apart from the future, what else do you want to ask me? Although I can't guarantee that you can get all the answers to your questions here, but you can learn more about it, which will not affect your next situation. Is it better?"

"Then do you know Xi La? Do you know what it wants to do?"

Realizing that the mysterious man in front of her was not as difficult to approach as she had imagined, Qiaocelin gained some courage, turned around, looked at the elder whose face was almost covered by a wide hood a few meters away, and tried to ask Focus on the things that are most important to you.

"I know about Xi La, but regarding it and the future related to it, if I don't pay some price, it will be difficult for even me to give you the answer you want. As for other aspects, I believe you also understand. That's almost it. But there is one thing, if you don't mind, I can make some additions."

"What is it?"

"Xila is neither the beginning nor the end of everything. So, you don't need to fear it, nor do you need to please it."

[World] smiled reluctantly and gave Qiaocelin the most intuitive answer without reservation.

No need to fear or please?

For such a frankness that far exceeded her expectations, Qiaoceline was once again irresistibly deeply shocked.

Maybe this [world] is really the great sage who ended the Second Age, and is not some evil existence with ulterior motives...

Thinking like this, Qiaocelin slowly let go of some of her guardings, and solemnly saluted the elder a few meters away from her heart: "I understand, thank you for your teaching, respected lord of the world."

"Okay, the turbulence of time and space has subsided, you can go back."

As soon as she finished her words, before Qiaocelin could ask any more questions, a sense of rapid weightlessness completely enveloped her, taking her away from this mysterious space...

　There is still a small flaw. I will do a second repair after the condition is improved...
