Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 276: Greater confusion

"Captain, did we... just leave?"

On the way, Kratan, who was next to Sol, couldn't help but speak. He saw that after Phines had just run over and said a few words to the captain, the captain threw down the half-cooked food and walked away.

Owen walked on the other side of Sol, feeling a little nervous.

She knew very well that her spy's actions had obviously been exposed. She didn't know whether she should go back to the camp or continue to follow Sol at this moment, let alone how Sol would treat herself, so that the whole person was a little at a loss.

Saul stopped abruptly, and Owen was startled.

"Go tell Phines that little shiitake mushroom, I am very angry now, so I went on strike, let her come to me to apologize." Saul turned his head and smiled at Owen, and drove her back.

"Captain, why are you angry?" Kratan asked curiously after Owen left.

Saul gave a brief account of what happened today, and Kratan became angry after hearing it.

"I'm actually not in the mood to be angry, I just want to find an excuse to take the opportunity to be lazy." Saul stretched out.

"What you did is right, this is too bullying, especially the pot of stew last time..." The reason why Kratan was angry was obviously not the incident itself, but the fact that he was still suffering from the pot last time. Steal the flavor stew to brood.

In the camp, looking at the mess left by Saul's hand shake, Phines could only arrange for people to fix everyone's food.

When the food was distributed, Phines laughed directly when seeing everyone in the camp look disgusted. I used to eat these for hundreds of years. Why can’t I eat them today?

After hearing Owen's recount of Saul's strike declaration, Phines could only hold his forehead speechlessly.

"That guy, is that stingy?" Finis grinned and muttered, then turned and walked away.

She knew that Saul was not angry at all, and she knew that Saul was very worried, and that he was not focusing on his life at all. It seems that this guy who is not his elder brother still hides many secrets that he doesn't know.

After returning to his residence, Sol directly retracted into the tent.

Kratan, who has not eaten lunch, can only prepare food for himself.

Wrap the linen quilt tightly, Sol is not sleepy, his bright eyes flicker in the shadow of the tent's backlight. Saul didn't care about Phines' jokes, he didn't even think about it, he was just a little tired.

It was the same problem. I was in a coma after being bitten by a poisonous snake on the fifth day when the team came to this floor. And now the team is about to end the journey of this floor and head to the next floor. It is said that it should have been in the past few days to find the exit of the lower floor.

Judging by the team's usual escape experience, this means that he has been delayed in the maze for nearly three months.

What makes Saul tired is that these three months are meaningless to him. He seems to be active and talking every day, but it is equivalent to doing nothing, because he is still trapped here and doesn't know how long he will be sleepy.

Saul is very unaccustomed to such a situation where he can't get better. If he knows he can't go back at all right now, then the whole thing is simple. He can safely integrate into the team and become one of them, live a serious life, and let life or death go with the flow.

The problem is that he always thinks this is an illusion, and he is very afraid that once he goes to live seriously, after giving some affection, he will really be trapped in this illusion and will never be able to return. Because you take the illusion seriously, it is likely that the key will disappear.

It was so tormenting that Thor was a little tranced and silent all day.

Although it was impossible to foresee the future in the past, at least it can be roughly planned.

For example, get to know reliable companions and work together to build a territory. Then live freely together, Timo's skull can fly everywhere, and Stanter and Diller no longer need to care about the eyes of other races, and they and Beth also have a new home.

But now Saul feels that his future is very chaotic, he can't see anything, and naturally there is no way to plan. He suspected that he and those who had fallen asleep after being promoted had the same problem, and he was confused and could not find a way out.

Therefore, the deep fatigue entangled him all day, not from the body, but from the spirit, and it was indecipherable.

In a daze, Sol felt someone pushing himself.

Turning his head faintly, he saw Phines sitting on the side of his bed leaning on his legs.

"What's wrong with you?" Sol rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked subconsciously.

"I'll pick you up." Phines replied.

"Pick me up? Where to go?"

"Come back home."

"I don't have a home anymore, I can't go back." Sol's tone was a little sad.

"Sniff, you used to bully me when I was a kid, so I'm not allowed to take revenge now?" Phines pouted.

"So you live a few hundred years old, and you only remember the mess of childhood?" Saul asked with a smile.

"Only when I think of those things occasionally, will I remember that you are my brother." Phines replied.

"This is the first time you called me. It's a pity that sweet mouth is useless now, because I am very angry. It is not difficult for you to ask me to go back. There are two options, either beg me here or learn two cat calls." Sol paid no attention to Phines, and turned to face inside.

The air was quiet for a long time.

"...Meow" Phines looked back at the tent with the door curtain closed, and tried to meow inexplicably shy.

"Learn two more pig calls." Sol was unmoved and issued the next command.

The surroundings are completely quiet.

After a long time, Saul felt that his quilt was lifted and someone was lying next to him.

He turned around and saw Phines lying on his pillow, watching him quietly. The two were half an arm's distance from each other, and Saul was not in a hurry, waiting for her explanation, but Phines just looked at him.

"Don't you hate me? Those things I did before." Sol asked.

"I can't hate it. After running for hundreds of years, I can't even remember the appearance of my parents." Phines replied.

"Well, it's rare to be so close, there is something I wanted to do a long time ago."

"What is it?" Phines asked, while Thor turned his face over like a grilled fish, with his back facing him.

Then Saul wrapped her neck from behind, and suddenly reached into his arms from the skirt of the clothes, of course, into her arms.

"You didn't let your mother go hundreds of years ago, are you finally going to hit me today?" Phines's face was flushed, and he suddenly grabbed Sol's hand, and instead pressed Sol's hand tightly on his own. On the chest.

Sol didn't explain, he fumbled for a while, and he suddenly felt a little shake when he touched it.

When he held the thing in his hand and pulled out Finis's clothes, his whole body even shuddered faintly.

In Sol's palm lies a purple, small and exquisite magic hourglass, which is connected to a thin twine between Phines's neck.

In fact, Saul had noticed it many times before, and Phines occasionally lowered his head and quietly opened his clothes to take a look.

At first, Saul was also a little puzzled. This little shiitake mushroom is... because he has no self-confidence and often observes his own development? Later, Saul thought that she was not. In fact, she was quite big, maybe some relics of relatives were made into necklace pendants by her.

After Kratan joined, Sol accidentally asked how the team judged the passage of time in this maze. After all, there is no alternation of night and day, and there is no cycle of four seasons. Even time has become indivisible.

Kratan's answer is simple, just four words, ‘the captain knows’.

So Sol suddenly had an inexplicable conjecture in his heart. Every time Phines opened his shirt, he wanted to take a look at it, but he didn't dare. It would be very troublesome if he was chased by the team in the entire maze. .

Today Sol finally found a good opportunity to start.

"How did you... get this thing?" Sol became a little hoarse because of excessive expectations.

"I picked it up in the maze, I can't remember which layer it is." Seeing Sol's solemn expression, Phines answered truthfully.

"Then how much do you know about this thing?" Sol asked again.

"At first I didn't find anything, but after looking at it a lot, I found that the sand in this thing will change color due to the passage of time, and the surrounding scales seem to be meaningful, so I think this is a small tool for recording time. ."

"Later, based on repeated observations, I finally figured out a general way to use it." Phines said.

"You are smart!" Saul rubbed her head with emotion.

With the production level of this race, it should be impossible to make such a craft. On the premise of having never seen it before, Phines was able to confirm the purpose of the magic hourglass through observation and guesswork. The small mushrooms are indeed quite clever.

Hourglass-shaped crystal material. Each time the sand completes a complete elapsed time, it is called an hourglass. Then, through the color of the sand, it can be inferred whether it is dusk or dawn. The surrounding scales are used to subdivide each hourglass time.

"Should I be happy when you praise me like this? And do you know what it is?" Phines looked at Saul.

Saul opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't talk about it.

At this moment, although the mystery he longed to know had been revealed, he had fallen into even greater confusion.

Since the entire maze is an illusion, why is there something that is only available in the continent of Salvinia?

If the demon soul that first appeared can still be understood, this magic hourglass made Thor feel a bit subversive.

After all, the devil soul is an elusive thing. From a material perspective, it is not even a matter, but more like an unknown force or energy. But the magic hourglass is different. It has a clear and single purpose. The key is artificial creation.

"If you want, I can give it to you." Seeing Saul didn't answer, Phines said directly.

"Keep it for yourself. This thing can accurately control the time and make the life of the whole team more regular and efficient."

Sol took the magic hourglass and explained how to use it, such as the meaning of the scale and color. While saying that, he put the hourglass back into Phoenix's arms.

Fenice blushed again unexpectedly, this guy was obviously on purpose, he obviously didn't need to get in. I must find a chance to chop off his paw, and Phines made the decision happily.
