Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"In the end... have you decided to withdraw from the domination war...?"

My tone couldn't help but lowered, and I raised my head in the gap behind the glass window, and stretched out to the outside.

Suddenly I remembered the disappearance of the abnormal gravity again, and turned my head to the right quickly, only to see Xia Yinci gently clinging to the wall, walking towards here with difficulty. I quickly withdrew my head and stood up straight, turned over and jumped out of the window, and supported Xia Yinci who was crumbling.

"Xia Yinci, you..."

"I'm fine... just a little tired..."

Xia Yinci squeezed out a gentle smile towards me. Even though she didn't have much weight, I could still feel her leaning against me limply. At this moment, there was a trivial sound from above. I saw Elus and Chart landed in front of me one after the other. Elus took a few steps towards me, stood on tiptoe and glanced at Xia Yinci.

"Xia...Yinci?" Elus pronounced the name a little stiffly, and she seemed to have noticed this herself, she averted her eyes unnaturally, and then whispered, "You...you're okay Bar?"

"It's okay.. Actually, it's just that the control ability is a bit overused," Xia Yinci's tone added some resentment for some reason, and then she glanced at me with ulterior motives, "Actually, Su Ruoyang delayed a little ~~ How long has it been?"

cough! ! In fact, I can’t blame me for this, I think it should be barely attributed to force majeure.

However, facing Xia Yinci's gaze, I just turned my head away and stretched out my fingers to scratch my cheek.

"Just now I felt that the downward pulling force suddenly disappeared... so I came down with Elus to check the situation..." Chart casually pointed to the alley, and continued, "It seems that the surrounding area is affected by gravity. The abnormality gathered a lot of people.”

I carefully looked towards the end of the alley, and found that there were indeed many people who wanted to break into the alley to find out.

"It's not a good thing to be overly concerned..."

"By the way...Watanabe Kaede and others?"

As he spoke, Chalt leaned on the window and poked his head in. When he saw Su Huilin was the only one inside, he froze for a moment, quickly retracted his gaze, and raised his eyebrows to look at me again.

"You didn't accidentally let him go, did you?"

"Don't worry. I already know William's location, let's talk about it as we walk...but it seems that going out directly from the alleyway will attract unnecessary attention..."

"Then shall we fly away?"

Chart shrugged and pointed upwards. I couldn't help shivering with my tongue in embarrassment, I almost bit my tongue and waved my hands hastily.

"This... hiss... this is not possible! Xia Yinci is a little bit reluctant to walk now. Counting her, there are three of us here who cannot fly. It is still a bit reluctant for you and Su Huilin to drag three people away. Besides, leaving like this In fact, it’s quite conspicuous, it’s better to just go out from the alley.”

"Then what do you say?"

I glanced at him with a little displeasure, feeling inexplicably that his "either listen to me or figure out your own way" tone when talking to Charte could easily add unnecessary unhappiness. But in the end, I still set my sights on the building behind me. Su Huilin, who was about to turn out the window, glanced at me curiously, tilted her head, and retracted her wings carefully.

"That's it—the building seems to be abandoned, and there's no one inside. Shall we just go out through its entrance?"

Although I proposed it in this way, they couldn't find another solution... But they didn't expect that when they finally reached the exit, the crowd blocking the alley had already spread to the side of the entrance, and going out directly would attract onlookers again attention. I had no choice but to use Time Stop again to drag the other four people to the opposite street one by one with difficulty, and finally left without attracting attention.

Somewhat exhausted, I took them straight along the street that Kaede Watanabe said crossed several blocks. On the way, I explained to them what happened with Kaede Watanabe just now——

"It's unreasonable!" Chalt threw his fist at the wall angrily, and his actions made all of us stop in place. The fist was squeezed and rattled, and Chalt gritted his teeth and said, "According to Kaede Watanabe's vague statement, Sato was tortured to death by the Dream Stealer!!"

Originally, I wanted Elus to help him calm down. Unexpectedly, even Elus, who claims to be the guardian of Chalt, tightly held the staff in her hand. The cold eyes covered by the crimson hair were full of sadness and anger, which made a magic power entangled around her. Without air, the surroundings suddenly fell into an oppressive atmosphere that was hard to breathe.

On the other hand, compared to Elus and Chart, the other two are very calm. Su Erin was also there when Watanabe Feng mentioned this matter, and she didn't care about Kazuhiko Sato at first, so naturally there would be no emotional fluctuations. Xia Yinci frowned tightly, thinking about something seriously.

"You all wait for me! I know this is hard for you to bear, and I am the same!! But the purpose this time is to rescue William, isn't it?"

"That just happened to wipe out the Dream Thief along the way."

"How can you say it so lightly? William's situation is definitely no better than Sato... Even if we include him, there are only six of us, and that is the "nest" of dream stealers! If you just think about revenge and the like In the end, even William will not be able to save you, right? So... no matter what—please calm down first!"

To be honest, I really regret that I told them about Sato, but after all, they have the right to know, and it is impossible for me to deliberately conceal this matter. Fortunately, Elus finally relaxed her grip on the staff, and the deadly oppressive feeling around her disappeared in a flash. However, her eyebrows still refused to stretch out, and the word cute was more suitable to describe her bulging cheeks than angry.

"Although I really want to tear that group of people into crumbs! But what Su Luoyang said... is indeed true."

I really don't know how to "tear people into breadcrumbs", but this is the only thing I want to see you demonstrate to me.

"Su Ruoyang, why is it your turn to command us now? It's so annoying! All the guys are talking to themselves!"

Hey Chart, you are the one who likes to talk to himself and do things almost without thinking, right?

It was as if he was the only one here who cared about Kazuhiko Sato's death. I can't forget about this incident, so I desperately want to rescue William, at least I want to confirm with William that Kazuhiko Sato has persisted, and Kazuhiko Sato, who has confirmed that he will tell me those words, cannot easily give up struggling.

Although I really wanted to refute Chalt's statement, in fact, the thorny Chalt also acquiesced to my statement while sulking, and did not say any more unclear words. Although Chalt is impulsive and irritable, fortunately he is not ignorant of the priorities of the matter. In this way, I also lost the idea of ​​​​refusing him.

But in a blink of an eye, I realized that Xia Yinci and Su Huilin had disappeared. I hurriedly looked around worriedly, only to find them in front of a shop selling fried chicken. Su Erin noticed my gaze, avoided it hastily, and finally stuck out her tongue at me in embarrassment. Forget it...for the sake of my sister being coquettish to me once in a while, and the two of them are also shopping for food, so I don't care about it. And I'm already used to the atmosphere of this foodie group... In fact, to be precise, it's "I have no choice but to acquiesce".

"By the way... Elus, there is one thing I need to ask you."

Elus raised her head when she heard my words, and said "Huh?" in a condescending and arrogant posture.

...It doesn't fit the queen's temperament at all, little magic cat!

"You should have the kind of magic that... leaves a message, but only the designated person can see it... Such magic? Like the magic that Charlotte used when she left you the letter."

Probably because I mentioned the name Charlotte, Eluth's eyes that hadn't warmed up from the cold trembled almost instinctively, and a strange mood flashed across. I suddenly felt guilty for doing something wrong. I put my palms on the side of my hair and curled my hair in a frenzy.

"That... I'm sorry."

"What kind of apology did you say out of nowhere~"

Elus glanced at me complainingly, and puffed up her cheeks slightly again.

"This kind of magic exists...but what do you want to use it for?"

"Ah... I want Lin Yu to deal with their affairs well, and he will definitely come to us! So I think it's best to leave them a letter and tell them the location of the place we are going to."

However, before Elus could respond to me, another discordant sound interrupted the conversation we had just seen, stirring up the anger I had just buried.

"What's wrong with our leader Mr.? I can understand your behavior as retreating.. The number of Dream Thief scares you, so you also want to increase the number—"

"Can you shut up now! Doesn't it make you feel good to be sarcastic?"

"Heh. Are you... you're getting angry from embarrassment?"

His disapproving and mocking tone really hit my point of anger, I stared at his eyes and stepped forward a few steps, but Elus's petite body stuck to my chest and stopped me from moving forward .

"Can't you see that I'm avoiding you, an idiot who speaks and acts without thinking?"

At this moment, Chalt's eyes suddenly changed from sarcasm to sullenness. He rushed forward and threw his fist at me. I was ready to catch the punch and wait for an opportunity to fight back. But Elus suddenly turned around to face him, opened her arms to block me, and asked Charte coldly, "Charte! Have you had enough trouble?"

Apparently he didn't expect Elus to stop him either. In Chalt's impression, he couldn't stop Elus from doing anything, and the girl who claimed to be her guardian was often dragged by him. But since she came back from her dream, her attitude has become much tougher, and Chalt must not have adapted to her change.

Maybe I should thank Elus. Her cry was like a bucket of ice water poured over her head, calming both of us. Chalt also seemed to realize that what he said was too much. Chalt finally put down his raised fist, pressed his deerstalker cap to cover his eyes, turned around and walked to the wall on his own. It still seemed to be filled with his restless mood.

I poked my head forward to observe Elus's expression, but I couldn't stand firmly and almost fell off. I instinctively raised my hand to Elus's shoulder, trying to let her stand firm. But I struck a balance before that happened. Unexpectedly, she turned to me abruptly. She took a step back startled by my weird posture, and glanced at my hands hanging in mid-air.

"You... what are you doing?"

"No," I hastily raised my suspicious hands and explained hastily, "I just want to see if you are angry..."

"Why am I angry...and even if I'm angry, I can't be angry with you!"

She angrily blew on her temple hair hanging around her mouth, her expression quickly calmed down, and she said to me in a soft voice:

"Su Luoyang...well...don't pay too much attention to what Chalt said~ He and I always say the same thing."

"Yeah, I know. Now that I've calmed down, I don't mean to argue with him."

"That's fine~ Infighting is a way of self-destruction!"

"Actually, there is another reason why I want you to send a message to Lin Yu... I told you just now that before leaving, Watanabe Feng reminded us that it is best to find a master of clock number eight to help us, Lin Yuyou happened to be negotiating an alliance with clock number eight, so I wanted to ask him to bring the ruler over by the way."

"I didn't expect you to be so careful~"

"Don't make fun of me..."

Elus smiled and tilted her head, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the clock above, then puffed up her (completely unexpected) chest arrogantly,

"Leave the message to me ~ please wait for me here for a while."

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly jumped up clumsily on the spot. Just as she wondered whether she could also learn how to fly, she fell to the ground with a "slap", and the two of us couldn't help but stare at each other. Then she He patted his head in embarrassment, stuck out his tongue, "I forgot that I don't seem to be able to fly around like them..."

By the way, as a magician with great powers, don't you feel ashamed that you can't fly? And Elus didn't care about this at all, and glanced at Chart who had been quietly eavesdropping on our conversation, and he hurriedly turned away from peeking at us. To be honest, if you eavesdrop, you should also go to Su Eirin and Xia Yinci's side to make more sense, right? How can anyone face the wall to attract suspicion!

"I'm sorry just now..." I was complaining secretly, when a cold apology came from my ear. Before I could react, Chalt hurriedly picked up Elus and swooped into the sky.

"Well... this guy is not that annoying."

"Su Huohuo~ What are you talking to yourself by yourself?"

Along with this provocative voice came the aroma of freshly baked fried chicken, I quickly put on a firm look, resolutely skipped the chicken nuggets in Xia Yinci's hand and looked at her with a wink Blinking eyes full of confusion. Although it was agreed just now that they would no longer care about the matter of them buying food at every turn, but now in order to resist the temptation, they had to use this as a talking point again!

"I thought you were finally starting to think seriously just now... I didn't expect you were just thinking about what to eat next!"

"I have said that eating is to think about problems~"

"Who would believe this kind of foodie self-protection language! Otherwise, tell me what you are thinking about?"

Xia Yinci was enjoying delicious food at this time, and after hearing my question, she finally agreed to shift her gaze from the chicken nuggets to me, and stretched out an index finger to her lips thoughtfully.

"I'm thinking... Kazuhiko Sato was tortured to death by the dreamer, and Kaede Watanabe voluntarily withdrew from the war of domination... After Uncle William was rescued, there were only ten dominators left. If it was handed over to Lin Yu The alliance has not been negotiated, and the situation that is not good for us will only expand further.”

Unexpectedly, she was really thinking about the problem, and I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but I instinctively bit the chicken nugget she handed to my mouth. I suddenly widened my eyes and looked at Xia Yinci, she had a triumphant smile on her lips. After finally resisting the temptation to reach this point, my struggle ended in this way! I looked angrily at the "culprit" who caused this tragedy, and Xia Yinci, who did such a tragic thing, didn't feel guilty at all, but had a smile on his face. That pair of smiling eyes tightly draws my sight, are you planning to pass the test by being cute!

However, the chicken nuggets are quite delicious, and Xia Yinci's smile is really pretty, which almost melted away the unwillingness in my heart.. cough cough... okay, okay, this time it's my bow to the food Alright.

At this moment, Charte also carried Elusi down to the street. Eluse's eyes lit up, and he rushed down, bouncing to Xia Yinci's side, and took her away with the permission of her gaze. A whole bag of chicken nuggets.

"Hey, don't just focus on eating...have you finished the task given to you?"

"OK~ Guaranteed that only Lin Yu and the others can see it."

In this way, we walked straight along the avenue of the block to the end, and a statue taller than the tallest clock tower nearby stood in front of us as Kaede Watanabe said. The gilded statue depicts a man with his right hand attached to his chest and his left hand pushed far away, his face covered by a mask, but it can still be seen that he is giving a passionate speech.

Taking a closer look, both the mask and the way he speaks are very familiar to me... Before the start of the war of domination, he was undoubtedly the dream madman who summoned us. The imposing manner on the statue, as if the spotlight of the world was shining on him, was exactly the same as the madman at that time. Curiously, I leaned in front of the statue, and the words "The Madman of the 12th Dream" were neatly engraved on the plaque below.

Even though the nearby houses are full of poverty and poverty, this madman stands here so arrogantly, I always think this thing is too ridiculous.

However, the moment I looked away from the sarcasm and was about to head into the woods behind the statue, the ground under my feet trembled slightly. As soon as I realized this, the original slight tremor disappeared, and turned into a loud tremor that seemed to burn the earth itself to ashes, and the strange arrangement of the clocks in the blood-red sky was like a grinning person Face.
