Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Page 282

Su Ruoli suddenly leaned close to her ear and asked in a gentle voice, "Can you tell me now how many poems you haven't recited yet?"

Bai Yu turned his head, a mask of pain on his face: "..."

"Who told you to only give me such an ordinary song?"

"Don't you like it very much?"

"I like it, but that's not enough. I didn't know you could write poetry. You kept it a secret from me for so long." Su Ruoli bit his neck lightly to express her dissatisfaction: "Read them all to me, don't miss a single one, or I'll really be angry."

"Mr. Destiny? Mr. Destiny?"

The shouting from close range brought Bai Yu back to his senses.

He hummed and looked around: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just saw that you looked a little absent-minded." Amamiya Mahiru asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Elise also leaned in closer and asked, "Did you encounter any troubles?"

Although the fate editor in their eyes is so high-end, classy, cool and awesome, it is almost impossible to encounter any problems.

But no one is perfect. Perhaps Bai Yu is just wondering what to do if his panda at home has diarrhea because it may have eaten something dirty.

Whatever the reason, concern must be expressed.

Bai Yu shook his head: "That's true..."

He started to lose focus again halfway through his speech.

Although I logged in on time tonight, I still couldn't concentrate and couldn't help thinking about things on the other side.

But the good news is that after the team expanded to three people, even if only Elise and Amamiya Mahiru were responsible for fighting monsters, it would be completely enough.

In hell, ordinary hellish spirits are no match.

He was extremely relaxed and only had to paddling.

It's like King Elden who directly recruited two ashes spirits, and just watched the rest.

As he wished, Bai Yu successfully turned Chronicles of Heroes into an idle game.

Just because of his frequent distraction and unusual silence, the two girls didn't know what to say. They actually wished they could be more cheerful and chat and laugh like their peers.

But unfortunately this is not possible.

Elise and Amamiya Mahiru's miserable childhoods meant they had no similar experiences and didn't even know how to make friends.

They are all villains in the setting, and villains almost have no friends, only enemies, dogs and tools.

After walking a few steps, Bai Yu also stopped and noticed a bench on the other side. It looked very much like Hollow Knight. He wondered if sitting on it could provide any recovery effect.

"Take a rest." Bai Yu calculated that he had been here for more than an hour.

The three of them sat side by side on the bench. Bai Yu raised his head and took a long breath. "I'm really not in a good state today. I'm a little too tired."

Amamiya Mahiru asked softly: "Yes, did something happen?"

Elysee didn't dare to speak.

Bai Yu knew their situation very well, if not completely, but at least he knew it very well. But on the other hand, these two girls knew almost nothing about their own situation.

He thought about it and decided that with the current level of their bond, the two Heroic Spirit girls definitely had enough trust in him. The reason he didn't reveal his identity was because he was worried that they would come to him directly.

Moreover, there is a high probability that you will not be able to find yourself.

The timeline doesn't match.

This time he didn't hesitate for too long and said, "I'm currently studying at Penglai College."

"?" Amamiya Mahiru was stunned.

"!" Elise was shocked.

The former has never heard of it, but the latter has obviously heard of it.

"Hōrāi Academy?" Amamiya Mahiru said.

"One of the three great academies, on par with the Royal Academy and the Palace of Wisdom." Elysee was delighted to have gained a crucial piece of information: "Editor, you are at Penglai Academy."

"Don't get excited." Bai Yu said, "Although I am in Penglai Academy, I am not in the Penglai Academy of your era. The time points are different."

Elise thought for a moment and said, "Yes..."

How can I find the editor if the time points are different?

It would be useless even if I went. What if there is a difference of a few hundred years? Wouldn’t I have to wait until I am an old woman?

Amamiya Mahiru smiled: "I am very close to Daxia, but I have no chance to look for Mr. Destiny because I know I can't find him."

Elise stammered a few words and then fell silent.

Bai Yu continued, "I'll probably go to Rome in a while."

Elyse's eyes lit up for a moment.

"Study abroad at the Royal Academy." He nodded his chin. "It's just that our times are quite different, so I'm not sure if I can meet the witch."

Amamiya Mahiru whispered, "Is it the future witch lady?"

Bai Yu said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking about. Since I've already announced my intention to attend the Imperial Academy, it's unclear what the witches will do in the future now that they know about it."

"Time is very magical. If I really meet a witch in the future, I don't know which timeline she will be from."

"Considering this alone, perhaps it's best for us not to meet—but there's also an advantage to meeting. I can get spoilers in advance."

Miss Elise fell into deep thought.

Bai Yu had another subtext that he didn't say.

Even if Elyse saw herself, she would probably not recognize herself.

There is still a certain gap between Destiny Editor and Bai Yu. The former is very mature, while the latter is too young.

Moreover, it is unknown what changes will happen to Elise on this timeline after hundreds of years. Her mentality and appearance may be different. Who can guess what her attitude towards herself will be by then?

What if I end up locked in the basement...hiss...

Thinking of this, Bai Yu suddenly felt a little regretful that he had said this matter too easily. This was like a landmine for his trip to Rome.

Amamiya Mahiru also reacted and immediately grabbed Elyse's shoulders and shook her: "Can you please forget what just happened?"

"Ah? What?" Elise didn't understand.

"Forget it quickly." Amemiya Mahiru immediately shook her shoulders vigorously, as if she was shaking a piece of Orange Juice madly.

"I've memorized it all, how could I forget it?" Elyse was almost shaken to the point of vomiting but she still remembered it clearly.

Bai Yu said helplessly, "Let's leave it at that for now. It's my fault for not considering it carefully."

Amemiya Mahiru said with a straight face: "I have a memory erasure technique passed down from my ancestors. All I need to do is hit the back of the head with a blunt object..."

"A severe blow to the brain stem caused death, right? Naturally, you'll forget everything when you're dead." Bai Yu knocked on Amamiya Mahiru's head: "Stop it."

Amamiya Mahiru bit her lower lip and asked unwillingly, "What if the witch of the future locks up Mr. Fate?"

Miss Gorgon Witch's eyes widened with surprise: "There is such a good thing... Ugh! How could I do such a good thing!"

"You've spoken out what's in your heart!" Amemiya Mahiru flicked the snake-like hair that had been wrapped around Bai Yu's arm.

Elise said, "I don't understand. Please explain it to me."

Bai Yu picked up the Lionheart Spear and drew a line on the ground: "Simply put, you and I are at three different points in time. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be at the last point in time."

"Every time we enter a dungeon, the Dragon Vein Realm, or Hell, our timelines intersect. We exchange information, and then each returns to our original timeline."

"Can you understand this?"

Elyse nodded.

Bai Yu continued, "But this 'intersection of time' was initiated by me, not you."

"So here's the question: If, I mean if, I met you tomorrow... which timeline would you be in?"

After much thought, Elyse said, "Should it be me tomorrow?"

Amamiya Mahiru reminded: "A more accurate statement is - after experiencing today's intersection of time, you have waited for a long enough time on this timeline."

Elyse suddenly realized: "In other words, if I meet tomorrow's me, this tomorrow's me will have to wait this long before meeting the editor because I have returned to the original time."

She immediately asked anxiously, "So, between the editor's time point and my time point, there was no further intersection of time between these two points?"

Amamiya Mahiru pursed her lips: "Yes, it didn't happen again."

Bai Yu said, "Because the occurrence of the time intersection means that I have actively interfered with the timeline. If I haven't interfered yet, then the timeline will not change."

Even if they meet the two heroes tomorrow, they will only remember today's conversation, and they will never see Bai Yu again after this.

Elise shuddered: "Then wouldn't I, in that timeline, be..."

"After waiting for so long and going through so much alone, time changes a person." Bai Yu rubbed his brows. "That's why I said it's best not to meet each other as much as possible. Can you guarantee that after going through all this, you will still be the same person you are now?"

"My future self will not be me." Amamiya Mahiru said with certainty: "They will deny us, and we will deny them too."

Elise waved her hands repeatedly: "Then let's not meet, let's not meet."

Amamiya Mahiru smiled bitterly: "You think so now, but once the time comes and no matter how hard you wait, you will change your mind."

Bai Yu suddenly thought of it.

Because I am downstream in the timeline.

Every time a time intersection occurs, he changes history to a certain extent;

Every time he returns to his own time point, there is actually a Mahiru Amamiya and Elyse at the same time point.

Of course, they may not be waiting, they may have already died, at some point in the future that they are not yet aware of.

The timeline will always evolve.

And the long time between them was a long river that he could not cross.

It is true that history can be changed and destiny can be written, but he cannot change the time span between the three people.

Maybe after today's fun strategy game is over, there will be a girl who has been looking for him for decades still wandering around the world.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu couldn't help feeling a little guilty and restless.

Although these are all speculations.

If you think positively, perhaps the above things will not happen;

Perhaps even if he met the witch, she would still be someone familiar, because she had already seen the future that he had not yet begun to weave.

Bai Yu exhaled and stopped thinking about it: "It's really complicated."

He had no choice but to look at Elysee and stroke the snake-like hair on her head: "If we really meet in the future, I hope you can show mercy to me."

The witch showed her cute fangs: "I promise I won't hurt the editor uncle."

"I can rest assured that."

The Fate Editor, who was only focused on comforting the witch lady, did not notice the changing expression of Amamiya Mahiru on the other side.

She closed her eyes and hid her emotions in the window.

Unlike Elise, her time point is closer to Bai Yu.

The gap may be less than ten years.

If I never see you again...

She couldn't help but think.

What will I do then?

She gripped the Quick Rain Knife tightly, squeezing it until her knuckles turned white.

She let go...and shook her head stubbornly and persistently.

No, that day will never come!
