From the beginning, Zhao Xu had the "psychic barrier" cast by Antinoya on him, so he didn't think about the spiritual influence.
However, he still underestimated.
The "voices" he hears may not be real.
Including the message "Don't look back" that Zhao Xu heard at the moment Antinoya disappeared.
True and false mean two completely different possibilities.
At that moment, thousands of possibilities flashed through Zhao Xu's mind.
But after thinking about the whole thing backwards, he found that it was not difficult to choose at all.
If Antinoya fell into a pit, then Zhao Xu also felt that it would be safer to fall into the same pit as Antinoya.
In other words, if Antinoya is easily obliterated by Lord Graz'zt of Darkness with one blow, then there will be no point in Zhao Xu jumping around.
So, at that moment, he turned back resolutely.
Immediately, Zhao Xu saw the long river of time in the mysterious object behind him.
In the light of the fireworks, he saw his previous life.
In the delivery room of the hospital, he shook his tiny hands and cried loudly, while the nurse beside him was holding him in a rocking bed position. The mother on the bed looked at him with a weak expression, but smiled contentedly. Outside the delivery room, his father was lingering anxiously.
On the other side, when all humans were crossing over, Zhao Xu, who was only at level two, gritted his teeth, pulled out the giant sword in his hand, and rushed towards the beast in the wild ahead. In the end, after a bloody battle, he and a few companions dragged the beast's body back and fed his family members who had been hungry for several days. That was the first time he took on this family.
During the Demon Sealing Battle, a young warrior whose entire chest was shattered by a demon's punch fell beside Zhao Xu. At that time, Zhao Xu poured the only healing potion he had into his mouth, but it was unable to restore the broken internal organs. This companion who usually seemed to be Zhao Xu's follower kept shouting that he would take revenge with Zhao Xu, but ended up sleeping on that land forever.
Various memories of the past vaguely flowed through Zhao Xu's mind.
He saw the changes of time and the re-divergence and convergence of destiny.
finally.
Zhao Xu was also involved in the time that turned into a vortex. Through the power of time, he went up against the long river of time again. ���
A thousand years ago.
Mystra.
Zhao Xu walked on the streets of Mystra again, still a little unimaginable.
Everything in front of me was similar to the Mystra in my memory, but also a little different.
But the search for knowledge and skills clearly told Zhao Xu.
He returned to Mystra a thousand years ago.
Zhao Xu looked along the bluestone steps. The originally dazzling streets became a little bleak. The strong wind howled several times and blew down many fallen leaves.
However, the number of mages among the pedestrians is higher than that of Mystra currently.
At first glance, this looks more like a private city for mages.
But there is everything here, except Antinoya.
Zhao Xu already understood.
As the Dark Lord Graz'zt said, he once used the power of Yeager, the God of Destiny, and saw that his "Game Breaker" had the ability to surpass fate.
However, it is obvious that Graz'zt has also collected some magical power in terms of "time".
What Zhao Xu saw when he turned around was the embodiment of the divine power of time, and he was instantly transported back to Mystra a thousand years ago.
And Antinoya may have traveled back to the long river of history because of this.
Unfortunately, it took too long for Zhao Xu to look back. It was obvious that he and Antinoya were not assigned to the same era.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked around, wondering if Antinoya was also standing here, watching the years in front of him, separated by the long river of time.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's heart trembled.
Thousands of years ago!
The era of cataclysm!
Zhao Xu immediately hailed a carriage, "Go-"
As he spoke, he hesitated.
It will take some time for the cataclysm to arrive. At this time, Sisylvina, the goddess of magic, has not yet ignited the divine fire and achieved the reputation of the goddess of magic.
In other words, she is now another form of Antinoya, an equally outstanding and powerful female mage.
"Sir?" The carriage driver looked at Zhao Xu's attire and knew that he was the mage in the city.
He just watched Zhao Xu be silent for a while, and he didn't dare to interrupt loudly, so he just asked a question in a low voice.
"Do you know where Sisylvina lives?" Zhao Xu asked with a hint of doubt.
This is also the first time he calls a goddess without any title.
"Oh, I must know. She is a great noble of our Mystra, and she is still the most famous female mage. Many people say that she will be recruited as the goddess's follower. Can I go to her mansion? I’ll take you there now.”
Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this.
In this way, as the driver drove the carriage forward quickly, Zhao Xu soon arrived at a mansion that was very grand in depth and scale.
"Master Mage, I can't go in again when we get here." The coachman whispered to Zhao Xu, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in the yard.
This house is obviously located in the central area of Mystra, but the passers-by seem to walk a little lighter, tiptoeing.
Zhao Xu remained silent, dropped a coin, got out of the carriage, and walked toward the door of Sisylvina's residence.
If Arthur is now, who can help him send him back to Mystra in the real world, or to Antinoya's era.
Then I'm afraid Sisylvina, one of Arthur's most powerful mage today, is his only choice at the moment.
At this time, there were many visitors gathered outside the gate, but most of them were stopped.
"Sorry, my master is entertaining distinguished guests at this time. No matter what your reasons are, you will not see any guests today." The maid at the door said with an elegant and calm look.
She didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance, nor did she apologize for her wrongdoing, and she acted neither humble nor overbearing.
"Your master made an appointment with me before and asked me to come to your door at my convenience these days." Suddenly a pot-bellied mage protested, but he didn't have the guts to break in without permission.
Zhao Xu was also surprised.
Because he does not have the current identity certificate of Arthur's Mage Association, he cannot successfully enter the Arcane Gate and then reach the floating city above through the portal.
Originally, he thought Sisylvina would be more convenient to communicate with, and there would be no delays due to lag.
Who would have thought that the threshold of the other party's family is not low at all.
At this moment, Zhao Xu's mind changed and he walked over in a swaggering manner. Immediately, the people guarding the gate saw him approaching with a strange face and hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop him.
"Hello, Mr. Mage, today the lady is entertaining distinguished guests and cannot receive outsiders." The servants in the house looked at the shining mage badge on Zhao Xu's robe.
Although the styles are different, they also understand that the other person is a fourth-ring mage.
Coupled with this young appearance, he can be said to be an outstanding rising star.
But that's it.
"I came here to pay you a visit according to the will of the goddess." Zhao Xu said.
As he spoke, he pinned another priest's holy emblem to his chest. Fortunately, the holy emblems of the second and third generation magic goddesses were relatively similar, mostly open books.
Zhao Xu's holy emblem, if not someone from the church who specializes in this field, may not be able to understand and distinguish this version difference.
"Yes, I will pass the message on your behalf immediately."
When the maid on the side heard this, she didn't even dare to question, and immediately bowed and left.
But Zhao Xu ignored him and walked in directly.
If Sisylvina was communicating with the goddess's senior priest, he would definitely break up the gang after the communication was over.
"Mr. Master—"
At this time, the servant standing aside wanted to stop Zhao Xu, but was intimidated by his momentum and did not dare to pull his cuffs.
And Zhao Xu also understood the reason.
In other words, when he is familiar with a period of history, he can go back to any point in time with ease.
At this time, the catastrophe is coming, and the second-generation magic goddess seems to have already felt the future of her own fall.
In the few years before this catastrophe, she had already begun to extend an olive branch to Sisylvina, trying to beckon the other party to become a follower of God.
However, Sisylvina refused every time.
These servants naturally thought that Zhao Xu was coming with the same mission, and they did not dare to say anything to stop him for a while. They could only walk in front of Zhao Xu in small steps to lead the way.
And Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the house here. Later, this area will be enclosed and become the "temple" of the goddess, and the large land in front will also be expropriated and transformed into the goddess's church headquarters.
"The master is in the reception room in front. She is talking to an important guest now." The maid on the side persuaded Zhao Xu in a low voice, "Mr. Pastor, please see if you want to go to the room for a while first. We will entertain you first." Give it a try."
As for the maid who was the first to go in and pass the news, she was walking over with a surprised look on her face.
Apparently she came to report back after passing the communication, but she didn't know that Zhao Xu had already walked in.
"Wait a minute, the master said that the visiting priest only came yesterday. Why is there another one today?" The maid immediately opened her hand to stop Zhao Xu and looked at him with wide eyes, obviously thinking that he had just lied.
Just when Zhao Xu was about to take out some magic items and lay them out for the two of them to take and pass on, suddenly another maid trotted over.
"The master has asked the mage to go directly to the reception room." She said, still panting.
"Take it away." Although the maid who stopped him still looked at Zhao Xu suspiciously, she still acted according to her duties.
After the group of people walked around two long corridors, they saw a maid walking quietly to the wooden door covered with mats, knocking on the door lightly to announce, and the originally closed wooden door suddenly opened automatically.
Zhao Xu walked forward without saying a word.
At this time, I saw several small coffee tables placed on the ground decorated with wooden floors. Both people in the room took off their shoes and sat on the floor wearing only socks.
Zhao Xu took a closer look and saw that although they were all wearing hoods.
But Zhao Xu could tell the difference directly from the aura and body shape of the two.
Antinoya thousands of years ago.
Sisylvina thousands of years ago.
Familiar, yet strange.
"Mr. Mage, you forged the oracle, that is no small matter." Sisylvina whispered, directly touching her heart.
