Chapter 616: Chapter 300: Chaos Eternal (Part 2)
"The speed of improving Historical Research Skills is faster than expected. Each exchange with Professor Yutel brings significant progress. At the current pace, I should be able to break through to the Skilled Level in about half a month."
He gently flipped through the record book, with densely packed symbols and annotations docunting his research achievents day by day.
From the initial stumbling to now being able to relatively skillfully analyze low-level mory Crystals, this rate of progress is astounding even in the genius-filled Crystal Tower.
But Ron knew deeply that behind this rapid progress, aside from his own talent and effort, he heavily relied on the careful guidance of Uther, this top-tier Historian.
In every mory Crystal analysis class, the old professor personally demonstrated the most exquisite techniques.
The practical experiences that absolutely couldn’t be learned from books were the key to his rapid growth.
However, in recent exchanges, Ron keenly noticed so subtle changes.
Uther occasionally showed a faint worry, a kind of expression that never appeared while discussing academic knowledge.
"The professor seems to have sothing on his mind recently."
Ron recalled the slight fluctuations in Yutel’s imaginary projection tonight:
"And not just him, even Eve has seed a bit off lately. Although she still actively participates in my classes, there’s always a sense of distraction about her."
As an observant person, Ron found it hard to ignore these details.
Especially when such anomalies appeared simultaneously on two core mbers of the Crown Clan, it likely indicated so deeper issue.
Coming to this realization, he couldn’t help but rember so rumors he heard not long ago.
In the Crystal Tower’s interior, there seed to be so sort of distribution chanism he had yet to fully understand.
Though everything appeared orderly on the surface, the undercurrent of rivalry never ceased.
"Speaking of which, Eve ntioned sothing to
recently, that her mother, Cassandra, seems to be coming back soon..."
Ron pondered on this information but frowned in confusion:
"But it doesn’t make sense... Cassandra Tower Master’s return from expedition should undoubtedly be good news for both Yutel and Eve. Why would Eve feel unhappy about her mother returning triumphantly from the Otherworld..."
He thought back to an inadvertent observation a few days ago.
At the ti, he was heading to submit his new paper to the review committee.
He happened to see several usually stern lecturers gathered together communicating in silence, their expressions unusually serious.
Among them was even the usually calm William, the Associate Professor, showing signs of apparent concern on his face.
"Be more cautious, more dedicated."
Ron warned himself in his heart:
"No matter what changes occur among the high ranks, for a mid-level Wizard like , the most important thing is still to enhance my own strength.
Only by being strong enough can I protect myself amidst any changes."
He closed the schedule record and took out the silver Pocket Watch from the drawer.
Moonlight spilled through the crystal window onto its surface, imbuing the Pocket Watch with a mysterious and ancient glow.
"Since tonight’s Historical Research training hasn’t been conducted yet, perhaps I should give it a try..."
Ron took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes:
"Last ti I failed, let’s try again this ti. Once the power of the Ti Hound is injected, it feels as if sothing within the Pocket Watch was awakened."
This idea had been brewing in his mind for a long ti.
Since obtaining this Pocket Watch, it had shown abilities beyond imagination, but he knew very little about its origins and creator.
And just now, Yutel’s discussion about the Clock King further ignited his intense curiosity.
"That Ti Reset ability, and the ti laws contained within the Pocket Watch, truly aligns with the legends of the Clock King."
He carefully placed the Pocket Watch on a specially crafted sensing platform, then began entering a specialized ditation state for Historical Research.
This was an advanced technique taught by Yutel, allowing him to perceive the residual "Ti Marks" on objects through a unique operation of Spiritual Power.
As his consciousness gradually sank, the surrounding real world began to blur, replaced by a peculiar state of perception.
In this state, the Pocket Watch was no longer a simple object but a vessel containing countless fragnts of ti.
Each scratch, every wear, recorded specific historical monts.
Ron’s Spiritual Power extended like a thread, gently touching the Ti Marks on the Pocket Watch’s surface.
Initially, only so vague fragnts flashed by:
The battlefield of blood and fire, complex Alchemy ceremonies, countless precise adjustnts...
But as he skillfully applied his techniques, these fragnts began to clarify.
Suddenly, a breathtaking scene appeared in his mind.
It was a magnificent Clock Tower, towering into the clouds, its body cast from so special tal emitting a faint glow.
On the colossal clock face, the hands did not move according to the regular twelve-hour system but followed a complex trajectory, as if docunting the passage of multiple ti dinsions.
In the workshop at the top of the tower, a tall woman was working intently.
She had long silver-gray hair, and her eyes appeared in a peculiar indigo color, as if containing the depth of ti.
But most striking was the countless translucent clock phantoms surrounding her, each operating at a different speed.
