The mountain is so high that it reaches into the clouds. When you look up from the foot of the mountain, you can't even see the top of the mountain because the view is completely blocked by the white fog.
Then, when they reached the top of the mountain and halfway up, a strong wind suddenly blew, as if it was going to blow them all away. However, when they were at the foot of the mountain, they did not feel any wind at all.
"We're looking for the 'Lord of Storms and Time,' so the bigger the storm, the more it proves... we're not looking in the wrong place, are we?" Jair turned to look at Stank's trembling legs and asked in confusion, "Stak, what's wrong with your legs?"
Stank pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the wind is too strong here, and it makes it difficult for me to walk."
"No way." Jer pointed at Ganqiu standing nearby and said, "The wind shouldn't be that strong, right? Even Ganqiu, a halfling, can walk so steadily."
"That's because his feet are big."
Indeed, halflings have the most developed leg muscles and the largest feet, and have the strongest lower body of all races...except for the lower body.
"But I'm fine." Jer said, "I'm the lightest person here."
Before Stank could say anything, Kent looked at him thoughtfully, "Could it be that he was drained by that male Fenrir in the tent earlier?"
"Will you shut the fuck up? Don't say anything that doesn't exist! Otherwise I'm going to sue you for defamation!"
"Ah, it's urgent."
"What a rush!"
Stank was so anxious that he drew his sword and wanted to duel with Kent. However, his legs were so weak that he had just pulled out the sword when he was blown by a gust of wind and trembled all over, and almost fell to the ground.
Now, everyone understood... Stank was indeed weak.
As the only one in the group who accidentally entered the tent of the hedonistic male Fenrir, no one dared to imagine what Stank had encountered in there. They only knew that he was the last one to come out and meet up. Then, the way he walked could be said to be one step in two, and he looked as if he had been completely drained.
Wait, drained?
Doesn't that mean Stank chose between attack and defense?
"Can you bastards stop imagining this!" Stank predicted their dirty thoughts and shouted at them. "Nothing happened between me and that guy. I was just competing with him in craftsmanship! In the end, I narrowly beat him seven out of eight times and successfully escaped from that prison... Shouldn't you all be proud of me?!"
"Yeah, yeah, so proud." Gan Qiu nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, I'm so proud." Jer also echoed.
Stank was so angry that his teeth ached, but he still wanted to draw his sword. Unfortunately, his legs were just like Gan Qiu's sword. He wanted to stand up but couldn't. He was really powerless.
Meanwhile, Aesop, who had remained silent throughout, observed the storm around him. He then turned around and said seriously to the others, "Be careful, there's something strange about the wind."
"Is there something strange?" Everyone turned to look at Aesop and asked in confusion, "What's so strange?"
Aesop said, "You can put your hand in and try it."
“…You already said there was something weird, and you still want us to put our hands in there and try it out? Are you even human?!”
"Don't worry," Aesop replied, "It won't endanger your life. Look..."
Aesop stretched his hand into the slightly whitish cyclone on the side, and then everyone saw that Aesop's fingers slowly became shorter, and finally became like the fingers of a newborn baby.
Seeing this scene, everyone was very surprised: "This is..."
"The power of time and space." Aesop pulled his finger back and flicked it gently. The baby-like finger quickly returned to normal. Then, after a moment of thought, he said, "It seems that the information is correct. The Lord of Storms and Time is indeed on this mountain. These magical cyclones should be time and space turbulence. However, their scale is relatively small, and the only thing they can do is to change their form... It seems that the rumors about the Lord of Storms and Time being weak are not false."
After Aesop learned the news from Selina, everyone rushed to the mountain called "Lan". According to Selina, the lord of storm and time, the mythical creature "Lan" with the same name as the mountain, was sealed on this mountain.
At this moment, the space-time turbulence surrounding them also proves that they have come to the right place.
"Keep going," Aesop warned, "but be careful of those time turbulences. If you are accidentally affected... your time may be shortened."
Everyone immediately became alert.
……
In the territory of the Fenrir tribe, tribe leader Selina was covering her forehead, looking very uncomfortable, not knowing what had happened.
What the hell did that stinky human do to me? Why can't I remember anything?
Selena felt dazed, as if a part of her memory had been taken away. She forced herself to recall, but could only recall that she was clamoring for the human brat to succeed her as the chief... It was so embarrassing. When she thought of her appearance when the tribesmen who came to question her were watching, Selena wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
At this moment, his men came forward to report: "Chief, Lord Amat is back!"
"Amat?" Selena was slightly stunned. Before she could react to why Amat suddenly came back, Amat had already pushed open the curtain of the tent and rushed in anxiously.
He rushed forward and shouted, "Selina! Did those guys come to you? Did they ask you about the news of the Lord of Storms and Time?!"
"Lord of Storms and Time?" Hearing this name, Selina's originally chaotic brain seemed to be suddenly opened up, and she remembered instantly. Her face turned ashen, and then she instantly crushed the armrest of the chair under her, gritting her teeth and standing up, "I remember now!"
Amat looked at the strength in every hair on Serena's body and the huge pressure spreading like a tide, and suddenly panicked: "What did you remember?"
"I remember now... I was toyed with by that guy..." Selina gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.
As the most powerful warrior of the Fenrir clan, Serena possessed immense power. If she lost control of her emotions and ran wild, the entire Fenrir territory would suffer. Therefore, Amat could only temporarily put aside her intention to ask Aesop about the matter and quickly comforted her, "It's okay, I was played with too."
"I was played by humans!"
"I was also played by humans."
"The one playing with me... is a man!"
"Well, the one who plays with me is also a man."
Serena: “?”
What 437 is looking for
As everyone went deeper, the concentration of the magical cyclone carrying the power of time and space around them became higher and higher, and denser and denser.
At first, they could dodge it easily, but as the altitude increased, it became more and more difficult to dodge.
"This won't work." After another thrilling escape through a cyclone of time and space, Bruce looked up at the cyclone overhead, which was becoming increasingly dense and almost a storm, and said, "If we just hide, we won't be able to reach the top of the mountain. We're bound to run into it along the way."
"That's true," Kent nodded. "You can't just hide. That's the wind up there. How can a human body avoid it? I don't believe the Fenrir leader could do that."
"Aesop, did you miss something?"
Aesop also looked up at the huge vortex of time and space that was condensing in the air, like a black cloud. He pondered for a moment and said, "According to Selina, she hasn't seen the Lord's true form either. He is just wandering around near the top of the mountain, guarding it."
"Then she doesn't know how to meet the Lord of Storms and Time?"
"No, she knows, or rather, everyone who knows about the existence of the Lord of Storms and Time knows how to break the seal." Aesop pointed seriously at the clusters of time and space cyclones and said, "It's about passing through these cyclones. If you can't avoid them, you can only use your body to withstand them."
"Withstand it with your physical body? But you just said that if you approach these space-time cyclones rashly, they will most likely become smaller..." Gan Qiu muttered.
Stank turned around and looked at Gan Qiu in surprise. He said, "Can you get any smaller? There's no room for you to get any smaller, right? Doesn't that mean you're invincible?"
"Are you sick? Are you looking for death?!"
Gan Qiu subconsciously wanted to draw out his dagger and duel with Stank again, but there were too many cyclones of time and space around him where he was now, and he would most likely be swept back if he moved a little. So between the possibility of becoming smaller and fighting with Stank, Gan Qiu hesitated for a moment, and chose to give up the fight and silently put the dagger back.
Aesop said: "The changes that occur after exposure to space-time turbulence are random, and even the changes may not only come from the body."
"Oh?" Gan Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Then where else could it come from?"
"Psychologically. Take Miss Serena, for example." Aesop said as he recalled the symptoms Selena had previously displayed. "Miss Serena has obvious memory loss and a confused perception of time. If it's not a problem with her brain, then she must be affected by the turbulence of time and space. According to Miss Serena, when approaching turbulence of time and space, the body will return to the past or travel to the future. The brain is also a part of the body, so it is possible to suddenly turn into a young child or an elderly person."
Everyone looked at each other.
Such a description does sound a bit scary. The brain switches crazily between childhood and old age, and it seems easy to go crazy. This is much scarier than any part of the body suddenly aging or becoming new.
"Only those with strong hearts will not be affected by this... or rather, the impact will be weakened," Aesop said. "Just like the Fenrir clan. The ascetic Fenrir clan has only the path of martial arts in their hearts. Whether young or old, they pursue and desire only this. Therefore, they are the ones least affected by the turbulence of time and space, and are the ones responsible for guarding the Lord of Storms and Time."
Kent understood, and then concluded, "To put it simply, the more single-minded a person is, the easier it is to successfully travel through time, right?"
Hmm...it seems that this description is not wrong.
"In that case, let's give it a try." Kent took out his staff and waved it. Soon, a magic chain appeared on everyone's body, one end connecting them to themselves and the other to the ground. "Put on a safety cord. If I notice anything unusual, I'll pull you back."
Seeing that they had insurance, everyone felt more at ease.
Then, after the final preparations, everyone except Kent plunged into the vortex of air at that time.
Kent stared at their backs, watching their bodies grow bigger and smaller, young and old, suddenly making clear cries like children, and suddenly turning into the pale and weak sighs of old age.
After about five minutes, two of the magic chains suddenly trembled. Kent raised his eyebrows and immediately used his wand to tighten the magic chains. Ganqiu and Bruce were pulled back instantly.
Their bodies were all very strange, some parts belonged to the elderly, some to children, and they looked like horrible freaks. But fortunately, this situation did not last long, and they slowly recovered, but their faces still had expressions of fear.
"What's wrong?" Kent asked quickly.
"Fuck... this is horrible." Stank covered his head and said in pain, "I've never felt anything like this before."
"Yeah." Gan Qiu also held his head in his hands, "I feel like my head is going to explode."
"What do you feel?" Kent asked quickly.
"It's just like what Aesop said before. My brain switches back and forth between a young state and an old state." Stank said, "Then different thoughts and desires all flooded into my mind, and there seemed to be a force that could continuously amplify them..."
Kent said, "Can you describe it in more detail?"
"It's like that: when you're a kid, you like toys. When you're an adult, you like adventure. And when you're old, you like... or you should say, you long for longevity." Stank was still terrified. "At each age, the desires are different, yet they all exist at the same time. I felt like these completely different thoughts kept flashing before my eyes, and there was even a force that materialized them. Countless images flashed before my eyes, and I really felt like my head was going to explode."
After hearing what Stank said, Kent turned to look at Ganqiu and found that Ganqiu didn't even have the strength to speak. He just lay on the ground gasping for breath. It was obvious that he had suffered a greater blow than Stank.
"It seems our judgment was correct." Kent turned his head to look at the surging vortex of time and space, and pondered, "Will is so insignificant in the face of time. Especially for you short-lived species, no matter what you pursue in your youth, the desire to survive will overwhelm you in old age... So, it seems that the immortal species and orcs have the advantage?"
But before he could finish his words, two more magic chains began to twitch violently. Kent immediately waved his staff and pulled Jer and Bruce out together.
"Well, it seems the Immortal Seeds aren't working either." Kent looked down at Jer, the elf he thought had the best chance of success. "Why did you fail? Logically speaking, you're the one who cares least about your lifespan, right?"
With a look of pain on his face, Jer sighed softly and said, "Lonely."
Kent understood instantly.
Jer really doesn't care about his lifespan, but because he likes to hang out with short-lived people and has experienced too many lives and deaths, he feels particularly lonely in his later years.
Have you been entangled in loneliness because you have seen too many landscapes and experienced too many farewells?
No wonder only the ascetic Fenrir tribe can take on the task of guarding.
Because apart from martial arts, they will not be overwhelmed by any emotions.
So the question is, how did Aesop survive until now? He was not an ascetic.
Kent felt deeply puzzled.
And in the surging storm of time and space, Aesop walked steadily.
His body, like everyone else's, was sometimes young and sometimes old, but no matter what it became, it did not affect his pace.
He was like a sophisticated instrument, a devout ascetic, slowly walking to the front of the space-time storm.
The chaotic storm could not block his clear eyes at all.
Then he slowly stretched out his hand.
He grasped what he had been looking for,
European style.
April 38th is in our hands!
"You bastards! Stop right there!"
Just as Kent, Stank and others were still waiting for news from Aesop outside the time turbulence, a loud roar suddenly came from behind them.
"You guys are really here, you are really tired of living!"
Before they could even turn around, they were knocked down by an extremely powerful force. Due to their fast speed and the huge amount of energy they had consumed in traveling through the turbulence of time and space, they had no way to resist. They could only watch as Selena and Amat pressed them down together.
What the hell?! They caught up so quickly?!
Everyone was shocked.
Kent was about to say something when Amat, who was on top of him, took out a bundle of ropes and tied him up tightly.
In fact, the strength of the binding... made Kentler's eyes pop out: "Wait, wait, wait! Stop using more force, or you'll die!"
"Do you regret it now?"
"Let's not talk about whether I regret it or not. You're tying me up a little too hard, aren't you?! You're obviously using more force on me than the others!" Kent shouted as he watched Selina tying up Stank on the other side. "This isn't fair, this isn't fair!"
"Unfair, isn't it?" Before Amat could respond, Serena sneered, "Okay, then I'll be fair."
Then he increased the strength in his hands, and tied up Stank until his eyes were about to pop out. "Slow down, slow down! This guy is a bad mouth, just deal with him and it will be over! Don't do what he wants to do to me, I'm a good person!"
"You've come to a place like this, and you still dare to call yourself a good person?!" Amat really wanted to punch Kent in the head. "You even lied to me that you came here to find a partner... Damn it, why did I believe you in the first place?!"
