1068 Scaring Her Away
“This… Does this mean once I’m there, time here will stop?”
“That’s indeed true,” she smiled, “and that’s why someone coming from tens of thousands of years or even more from the past will only stay for ten years here.”
“…” I couldn’t find any suitable words to express what I was feeling right now. This girl… Why was it this damn hard to keep a logical and easy to understand conversation with her?
This was an unprecedented situation, an awkward one for me.
“Fine,” I coughed and acted as if I got such complicated logic behind her words, “so I have to travel between here and there?”
“That’s why I came here specifically to meet you before you’ll head back to your world.”
“I see,” I now know the reason behind her bizarre appearance in front of me.
I couldn’t say I got it all, but at least got a general understanding of it.
“Then if a single one of us moving back to his world will trigger a time pause, how do we live and act here?” I still recalled sending Lang to Tom’s world. Not to mention Tom himself did that.
“Well, if a single lord appeared here, we are given all a month’s time to live normally,” she paused as she scratched her head.
Girl, if you were facing such difficulty and you lived here for such a long time and experienced everything here, how about me?
At least you got to know tons of info about this world and even had the mind to understand it.
“Time flows for a month, some even say with each lord coming here we are given an extra month to live.”
“Live? Then what if not a single lord appeared? What if we got stagnant? Did that ever happen before?”
“Oh it happened,” for unknown reasons she seemed happy about it, “how many did it… I believe it was five? Or seve? Perhaps eight… Can’t remember actually.”
My eyes twitched as she kept speaking in such a playful and happy tone, “each time we all will be sent back to our respective homes, the entry to this universe will be blocked until the universe invites a new lord here.”
“This…”
“Don’t worry, each time it won’t take more than a few days to access this universe again.”
“What about… What if we were in the middle of a war? What happens then?”
“Nothing,” she shrugged as if it was a simple matter, “all forces will be returned back to our lands.”
“…”
“That’s why trying to invade others comes with a risk of losing everything at the last straw. That was the main reason why many lords grew the habit of staying dull and lazy inside their lands for it.”
I couldn’t blame them now for this. If this was the true case here, then wasn’t it better to stay inland and fend off attackers, waiting for the time allocated for them here to run and get saved?
What A weird world and universe this was! Truly impressive and quite despicable and bizarre.
“And that’s why you can’t think about returning back to your world yet.”
“What do you mean?” I looked in doubt towards her and she smiled wryly.
“Just as I said, by your presence here, one month of exempt time period is added. Even if you retreat to your world, the time here will continue passing normally. So you have to stay here and take advantage of that.”
“This…” I got what she wanted to say, but didn’t that mean I’d waste an entire month’s time from my plan schedule?
“You don’t need to worry,” as if she saw through my worries, “the time in your world is now stagnant. It won’t return to beat until you return back.”
“I… See…” I heaved a sigh of relief.
“You have been here for almost eleven days. So you got nineteen more days in this world. After that, you can return as the universe here will kick us all back.”
It wasn’t that hard to get to this point. And that meant I could finish my preparations for my land and forces here before returning back.
“I’ve said what I came to say. Now big brother, it’s up to you to make the best use of this time. Tell me, what do you plan on doing?”
She looked at me in anticipation and excitement, both unexplained to me. “I plan to invade your lands and crush more armies of yours.”
“You… You can’t do that!” her eyes went wide as she staggered a few steps to the back.
“Why? You have the biggest land here, and you also have those awesome Reapers.”
“You can’t! You can’t bully your younger sister because you are the big brother!”
“What the heck…!” the corners of my mouth twitched while watching her flash and instantly return to her ship in a single breath.
“Don’t think about it! Set your greed over someone else, big brother.”
“I can’t, your Reapers are very precious to me,” I slowly shook my head while her body trembled.
“Don’t… Don’t come near my beloved Reapers! I… I will return and confine myself in my land. It’s impossible for you, for anyone to touch me inside my land.”
“This… Come on, can’t you give your big brother a gift? Give me part… No, give me half of your Reapers. I got affectionate with them.”
“No way! You are a big bully, I hate you!”
“Wait!”
Just before I’d say anything, her ship suddenly turned illusionary before vanishing from my sight.
It seemed she got something similar to my teleportation staff, allowing her to jump away so damn fast.
What a headache! I just found a gem in these Reapers, and yet she vanished in such a way and left me without even a clue about the presence of her land.
“Tsk… This Berry… She is really troublesome…” I shook my head while finally deciding to drop this matter.
Looking for her and going to her land would take much time without doubt. Not to mention she seemed serious about locking herself up, calling back all of her forces, and closing up her territory with all of her forces and defences.
