Chapter 301 [Secret Realm Transmission Ritual (Introduction)]

Jane's interpretation of this sentence seemed to open the door to a new world for Shane, and his thoughts diverged rapidly.

Previously, due to the rumors on the Seven Seas and the extremely rare status of the two races of ancient dragons and elves.

Shane once thought that they had long been extinct.

It was not until Jane's words that Shane realized another possibility-

Back then, when faced with a certain irresistible disaster, these two races did not confront it head-on, but chose to escape!

The destination of escape was other [secret realms] in the [secret sea].

Let me give you an inappropriate example.

This is like the "Spark Plan" on Earth in the previous life, when the world was about to end, a group of people took a spaceship to another habitable planet.

Shane was naturally curious about how they came up with this plan and how they implemented it.

But what he cared about more was that if this conjecture was true, wouldn't it mean...

Lila is still alive?

Thinking of this, Shane couldn't help but jump up and down.

To be honest, after returning from the historical [Giant Wood City] last time, he had already made the most pessimistic plan in his heart.

After all, according to the information Shane had collected in the past.

The enemies faced by the elves were unprecedentedly powerful, and there was almost no possibility of victory.

The disappearance of the elves in the seven seas in modern times proved that "the elves were defeated."

So for a long time, Shane thought that he would never meet Leila again.

Until now, Shane's heart has regained some hope.

At this moment, he also understood the meaning of Jane's "mother and grandmother went to a very far place".

They are no longer in the same world, and there is a [Secret Sea] in between. Isn't that a very far place?

Soon, Shane couldn't help asking again.

"Then may I ask... what do the remaining two sentences mean?"

Jane thought for a moment and said, "I am not sure about the meaning of the last two sentences. I can only give you my guesses. Just listen to them."

"I wonder if you have heard of... the observer effect?"

Xia En answered honestly, "I have heard a little bit about it."

"When we observe something, it will inevitably affect it."

"Combined with the first of the three sentences, it is not difficult to guess that the object being observed is 'history'!"

Jane is worthy of being a former member of the [Truth Society] ranked eighth in the [Truth Sequence]. She speaks very logically.

At the same time, she did not jump to conclusions, but spoke cautiously.

"Then what this sentence means is that history cannot be changed after being observed."

"But the key is... who is this observer?"

Jane's wise eyes showed some confusion: "Is it a specific person, the will of the world, or something else?"

"Moreover, changing history... even in the [Truth Society], no one has really achieved this."

After hearing this, Xia En's heart was once again in turmoil.

The reason why Jane found it difficult to understand this sentence and had so many doubts was simple.

She had not traveled back to the past in person, and subconsciously thought that "changing history" was impossible.

But Shane was different. He had returned to the past more than once and personally communicated and interacted with those historical figures.

Therefore, Shane felt more about this sentence and thought to himself.

"The observed history cannot be changed..."

"The observer here, is it me?"

"And the other meaning of this sentence is - the history that has not been observed can be changed?"

Because the world around Shane did not change after these two returns, he once felt that everything he did was useless.

But after seeing this sentence, his thoughts changed a little.

And soon, Shane thought of a way to verify it.

He asked Jane: "Is there any information about the magic pattern master Carmen or the steam mechanic Thomas in the library?"

"Carmen, Thomas?"

Jane was a little surprised to hear these two names, but she did not ask any more questions, but said directly.

"Yes, this is the [Federal Library]!"

"Please wait a moment."

As she spoke, Jane walked out of the secret room and looked for relevant books for Shane.

Not long after, Jane came to Shane with a thick stack of information and asked.

"What information do you want to know about them?"

Shane said bluntly: "Personal biography, diary, preferably records of participating in the [International Conference] held by the elves."

Jane looked at Shane meaningfully.

Ordinary captains would not know that the elves had held an [International Conference] in the past.

In fact, Jane knew this because she had stayed in the library for too long and had long remembered all the major events that happened in history.

"Your efficiency in flipping through it alone is too low, I will help you."

As soon as the voice fell, several complex and indescribable runes suddenly lit up in Jane's eyes.

As the runes turned, the books floated into the air without wind.

Then, the pages of each book began to turn by themselves, as if an invisible hand was gently and quickly turning each page.

At the same time, there was a faint light on the ancient book.

It felt like it was being scanned?

Jane even had the energy to explain to Shane: "This is a very simple little spell."

"You can search the text in these books according to the information I want."

"For the position of librarian, it should be very practical, right?"

Shane was secretly shocked.

Although the administrator claimed that she was not good at fighting, if it was a life-and-death fight, Shane would probably not have a chance of winning against her.

In less than a moment, all the books fell back to their original positions and the light converged.

And Jane also closed her eyes, as if digesting the information obtained from the book.

Soon, Jane opened her eyes, and a silver light flashed from the bottom of her eyes.

"Found it."

She took a book from the pile of books, turned to one of the pages, and handed it to Shane.

"This book is called "My Friend Carmen", a biography written by his friend, which records his experience in the [International Conference]."

Shane's eyes fell on the yellowed pages.

[…Undoubtedly, the most important turning point in Carmen’s life was when he saw the magic patterns used by the elves at the World Conference. ]

[At that time, Carmen was deeply amazed and shocked by the beauty of this technology, and made up his mind to start from scratch and enter this new field. ]

[To be honest, I and several other companions were not optimistic about this decision, so much so that Carmen himself was shaken, but he finally chose to stick to it. ]

[Afterwards, according to Carmen himself, just when he was about to give up, he seemed to hear the persuasion of a man in black robes. ]

[He said, "How do you know if you don't try?" ]

[It was because of this simple sentence that Carmen had the courage to stick to it, but in the end, he didn't know the identity of the man in black robes, so he couldn't thank him in person. ]

[This also became one of Carmen's regrets in his later years. ]

[Perhaps, that was the revelation of fate...]

Jane looked at Shane with a strange look in his eyes, and spoke.

"Not only in this book "My Friend Carmen", but also in Thomas' diary, there is a mysterious man in black robes."

"Moreover, after Thomas became famous, he launched a missing person notice in the southern continent, saying that this man in black robes changed his life and was his lifelong benefactor, and he should repay him well."

Xia En's mouth twitched slightly: "Is there such a thing?"

Thinking carefully, with the character Thomas showed when they met at that time, it is really possible that he would do such a nonsensical thing.

And hearing this, it doesn't matter whether Thomas' diary is read or not.

Because, whether it is Carmen or Thomas, they obviously still remember themselves!

This is enough to prove that-

History has been changed!

Xia En was very excited.

Although the magnitude of this change is not large and does not affect the final result, the fact of "changing history" itself can be called a feat!

After thinking for a while, Xia En had some guesses about "unobserved history".

Before returning to the past, he only knew that Carmen and Thomas later became magic pattern masters and developers of [Heart of Steam], but he didn't know the specific process.

His actions made him an important turning point in the lives of these two people.

In the original history, this might have never happened.

"But, what does the last sentence 'can be deceived' mean?"

After solving one question, another question followed.

Fortunately, there was Jane beside Shane.

The old woman who had lived for a long time had obviously seen something, but she was considerate and didn't ask questions, but answered.

"I think these three sentences should be read together."

"The history we think of may not be the real history, but false history is not necessarily meaningless."

"For example, the [Ancient Dragon Extinction] incident may have successfully deceived some existences, resulting in the disaster that should have come not coming."

"The disappearance of the elves may also have similar reasons."

Shane chewed these words silently.

He felt that Jane's guess made sense, but it might not be the real intention of Leila to leave these three sentences for him.

In any case, just this conversation with Jane made Xia En feel that the trip was worthwhile and full of gains.

The goal of coming to [Liuli Island] this time has been completed by more than half.

However, Xia En did not forget another purpose of coming to [Federal Library].

"Ms. Jane, is there any spell in the library that can realize material transmission and personnel transmission between two [secret realms]?"

Hearing Xia En's request, a flash of surprise flashed across Jane's face.

"You really asked the right person."

"Actually... my main research direction in the [Truth Society] was the connection between different [secret realms]."

Her expression quickly became serious: "First of all, I have to ask you, is the [secret realm] you want to connect far from the [Seven Seas World]?"

Facing Jane who had entered a serious state, Xia En felt a little scared in his heart, and answered honestly: "It should be considered relatively far."

"Then the conventional method will not work."

Jane showed the research attitude of a master in the field of [Secret Realm] and said eloquently: "Generally speaking, for short-distance [Secret Realm], it is most practical to directly cut a crack and establish a portal."

"But if it is a long-distance [Secret Realm], you must first set up an [Anchor Point] at the target [Secret Realm]..."

…

…

Two hours later.

Xia En held on to the wall and left the secret room dizzy.

He felt like he was back in college, taking a cutting-edge course taught by a professor, and moreover, he was not in his major!

Not falling asleep within three minutes was already the result of his amazing willpower.

Fortunately, such efforts are not without rewards.

[You have been taught by Jane Vivian! 】

[Acquisition Skill: Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual (Getting Started)! 】

Considering that Xia En had not studied the relevant [Secret Realm] knowledge in depth, Jane deliberately chose a relatively simple teleportation ritual.

In Jane's words, this is a ritual arrangement method that even orcs can learn!

However, the ritual itself is simple, but the materials required are not simple.

In the simple list, seven out of ten materials were unknown to him, and some of them he had never even heard of.

As you can imagine, their prices will not be cheap.

Especially on a prosperous island like [Liu Li Island] where land is at a premium, some products may be even more expensive!

This made Xia En feel a little worried about his wallet.

To be honest, Xia En hasn't had a few decent incomes since the [Magnetic Sea Area].

Before boarding [Liu Li Island], he scuttled two vampire warships, but he had no time to search them.

"That's all my money..."

The more Xia En thought about it, the more distressed he became, so he charged this debt to the vampire again.

"In case the Golden Dragon Coins are not enough, we can only sell the supplies in the [Rhine Secret Realm]."

"Those novel species and the seeds in the [Ember Treasure] can also be exchanged for the Federation's merits..."

Xia En was just thinking about how to make money when he saw Daisy and her brother walking up to him.

"Captain Shane, what is your relationship with Ms. Administrator?"

Daisy stared at Xia En with curiosity, and glanced at the secret room behind her.

She had long been interested in the secret room that existed in the urban legend of [Liuli Island], but she had never seen the secret door open.

Who would have thought that Xia En's arrival this time would easily achieve this small goal.

"What's the relationship?"

Xia En was a little strange. He didn't know why the siblings were curious about this kind of thing, but he still said.

"It's probably a relationship that we have known each other for years."

Alessio's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help complaining: "Friends at the end of the year?"

"Isn't it a bit too many years to forget?"
