Chapter 1261: Chapter 388: 53 Pieces of Forbidden Ruins Stele!_3 Chapter 1261: Chapter 388: 53 Pieces of Forbidden Ruins Stele!_3 Leonard Churchill: “Ivan, get up, it’s time to eat.”

After calling several times, Ivan lethargically opened his eyes on his head and murmured with a voice as faint as a mosquito: “Oh…”

As he spoke, he lazily chewed.

Leonard watched the girl’s frail state, a mist forming in his eyes.

Waking her was becoming increasingly difficult.

Without a significant supply of food, Ivan should have entered a “hibernation” state by now.

Although Leonard felt that the girl wouldn’t starve, this state also made him uncertain about the consequences.

He could only continue to feed her.

Moreover, he felt that the chances of escaping the maze on their own were very slim.

They could only wait to be let out.

Thinking this, Leonard murmured to himself, “Considering the time, if those guys are quick, they should be arriving at Sinless City by now… perhaps they’ve already reached the Old Continent…”

The most worrying issue was whether he could hold out until the enemy released him.

Or, there might be an accident, and those from the Southern Continent could be intercepted,

though the likelihood was small.

He felt that in the worst case, and most likely scenario, by the time they were rescued, they would already be under the watchful eyes of the masters of the Holy Church on the Southern Continent.

Thus, Leonard’s bet was that those from the Southern Continent might anticipate Ivan’s hibernation.

But in reality, they did not.

By the time they got out, relying on Ivan’s spatial abilities, there might still be a slim chance.

…

“Strange, this mirrored space, is it really a real material world?”

“But if it is real, what kind of Relic would have such exaggerated space? Could it be the legendary Divine Artifact?”

“If not, then what went wrong? What is the essence of space…”

“Also, the mysterious force absorbing Ivan’s energy, what exactly is it?”

“…”

In the following days, to reduce consumption, Leonard even got a steam motorcycle and rode it around the maze for transportation.

Even hundreds of kilometers a day on the motorcycle did not reveal the end of the mirrored space.

Leonard was almost certain that none of the methods he knew of worked to get out.

That day.

It was already the seventh day of being trapped.

The food had almost run out.

With insufficient food supply, Ivan spent most of his time in hibernation.

Leonard found a place and sat down in meditation.

Rather than fretting over the impossible predicament, what he cared more about was why he was trapped.

Even knowing the situation was dire, he never gave up on solving the mystery.

If he couldn’t find a way out on his own, the chance of surviving if released by others wasn’t great.

He was very calm, always accepting the possibility of dying trapped here.

During breaks, Leonard found himself inexplicably reminiscing about his time in this world, murmuring: “What a wonderful world indeed…”

Images from his journey flashed through his mind, from his initial encounter with Camilla at Laboratory 407 for Abnormal Creatures, then Sinless City, followed by Old Continent…

Along the way, he encountered many fascinating worlds and scenes, and made many friends.

Camilla, Tracy Garcia, Sophia Jones, Barre Shepherd, Catherine Carter, Reuel Bible, Mushroom Head Jerry, Aragon, Elder Clinton, and Colin… and also Vera Williams.

Faces floated through his mind, and Leonard pulled out a black and white photograph.

In the photograph, a girl in a floral dress smiled radiantly.

She stood in front of a beautiful small auditorium, with a white wall and pointed roof behind her, and a waterfall of roses.

Looking at the young man in a suit, Leonard smiled.

He caressed the photograph as if his mind had returned to Safflower Manor.

Even now, Leonard still thought it was a magical experience.

To think he had traveled back a hundred years, meeting that rose-like girl.

“Miss Anne, are you still there?”

Leonard caressed the smiling face of the girl on the photograph, wondering if he would meet Vera Williams again if he traveled back a hundred years.

If he traveled to the time the photo was taken, would he see another version of himself?

A hundred years ago.

It seemed like a different world altogether.

But the magic was, he was still standing on the same land, the same space, as he had been a hundred years ago.

Time really is magical.

It turns space into layers, one layer upon another.

A time point signifies a unique spatial world.

Space and time are like coordinates that define all meanings in the world.

Longing and reflective thought didn’t clash, and Leonard didn’t even notice that he had entered a unique state.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Leonard looked at the couple in the photo and gradually became lost in thought, momentarily feeling as if he could no longer sense the passage of time.

It was as if he had touched something flowing beside him.

This was a mystical Law that was always present but never touched before.

“Time Rule? If there’s a space without time, does it exist? Oh, it probably wouldn’t matter then…”

Leonard’s eyes were misty, and he seemed to see a fog forming in his vision.

Mysterious and elusive, hard to touch.

‘Your meditation has touched the “Time Rule,” affinity +1’

‘You touched the traces of “Space” “Years,” Space Law +1…’

‘…’

Realizations came in waves, Enlightenment occurred.

Leonard didn’t notice that he had quietly resonated with some of the forces within the maze.

Laws are magical like that; they exist everywhere, but you can’t see them until you are unaware of them.

But when your frequency resonates with them, suddenly everything clears up.
