Chapter 122 An unexpected time travel companion
Lily and her team were enjoying a rare moment of peace. In the garden of the palace, flowers were in full bloom, the breeze was gentle, and there was peace. Just as they were discussing how to continue investigating the mysterious power of time and space, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed directly on the grass in front of them.
"Ouch, my old waist!" The man rubbed his waist and stood up. Everyone looked closely and found that it was Pierrot, the circus clown they had met before.
"Why are you here?" Lily asked in surprise.
"Don't mention it. I was performing when suddenly a time and space vortex sucked me in and I fell here with you." Piero looked helpless.
"It seems that this space-time vortex is really omnipresent." Mo Li said with a smile, "Since you are here, let's have a cup of tea together."
As everyone was drinking tea and listening to Piero telling about his strange stories in the circus, a messenger from the palace came running in: "Princess, the emperor has summoned you for an urgent mission."
Lily immediately stood up and led the team to the palace. The emperor told them solemnly that the palace's treasury had been robbed and an important artifact, the Mirror of Time, had been lost. It was said that this mirror had the power to travel through time and space.
"If this mirror falls into the hands of the wrong people, the consequences will be disastrous," the emperor said seriously.
Lily decided to act immediately. They first went to the treasure house to investigate the scene. The door lock of the treasure house was intact, but the inside was in a mess. Obviously, someone had searched carefully. Lao Hu carefully inspected the scene and found some unusual traces.
"These traces look like they were created by some mysterious power. It's not something an ordinary person can do," said Lao Hu.
"Maybe it has something to do with the previous power of time and space." Mo Li guessed.
Lily nodded and decided to follow the clues. Just as they were about to leave, Piero volunteered: "I want to go too, maybe I can help."
So, Lily, Mo Li, Lao Hu and Piero formed a temporary expedition team and began to track the thieves. According to Lao Hu's analysis, they quickly locked onto a remote abandoned warehouse.
The warehouse looked normal from the outside, but when they entered, they found it was filled with all kinds of strange mechanisms and traps. Lily and Mo Li took the lead, carefully avoiding the mechanisms, while Piero used his agility learned in the circus to easily pass through.
Finally, they came to the depths of the warehouse and found a man in black holding the Mirror of Time, seemingly chanting a spell. Lily said decisively: "Put down the mirror!"
The man in black turned around upon hearing the voice, revealing a grim face: "You have come at the right time, so we can experience the mystery of time and space together."
The man in black said, and raised the mirror. The mirror emitted a strong light, and a powerful force drew Lily and the team in. Their eyes went dark, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already in another strange time and space.
They found themselves standing on a desolate land, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a ruined castle could be vaguely seen in the distance. Piero looked around and said in surprise: "Where are we?"
"It seems that we have been transported to another time and space." Lily analyzed calmly, "But we must find a way to go back."
Just as they were thinking about countermeasures, a group of cavalry rushed over from a distance, and the leading knight shouted: "Catch them, they are intruders!"
Lily and her team had to run, and they ran all the way until they found a hidden cave near the castle and hid in it. The cavalry searched outside for a while and finally left.
"It seems that we not only have to find a way to go back, but also have to be careful of the enemies in this space and time." Mo Li said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
In the cave, they found some ancient murals, which seemed to record the secrets of the time mirror. Lao Hu studied it carefully and found a clue: "We must find the owner of the castle. He may know how to use the mirror to return to the original time and space."
"Well, it looks like we have a new adventure." Lily smiled, "Everyone get ready, let's go meet the owner of the castle."
They approached the castle quietly, carefully avoided the guards, and finally sneaked into the castle. The interior of the castle was gorgeously decorated, but it seemed unusually deserted. They walked along the corridor and finally met the owner of the castle in a gorgeous hall - an old man in luxurious robes.
"Welcome, travelers." The old man said with a smile, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lily and the team looked at each other, and Lao Hu stepped forward and asked, "Do you know why we are here?"
"Of course, because of the Mirror of Time." The old man said, "This mirror can not only travel through time and space, but also reveal the mysteries of time and space. But to return to your time and space, you need to find the other half of the mirror."
"The other half?" Lily asked in surprise.
"Yes, the mirror is divided into two halves, and the other half is hidden in the underground maze of this castle." The old man explained.
Lily nodded and decided to go to the underground maze to find the other half of the mirror immediately. Under the guidance of the old man, they found the entrance to the underground maze. The maze was full of traps, but with their wisdom and courage, they finally found the other half of the mirror.
When the two halves of the mirror came together, the mirror emitted a dazzling light, and a space-time vortex appeared again. Lily and the team jumped into the vortex without hesitation and returned to their time and space.
After returning to the palace, Lily returned the Mirror of Time to the emperor, who said gratefully: "You have once again saved the peace of the palace and the entire space and time."
Lily and her team feel extremely satisfied. They know that no matter how difficult the challenges in the future may be, they will continue to meet them as always and protect the peace of the world.
