The Dean Has Arrived

The scope of action of the "Time Devouring Clock" is only for individuals. In other words, when this soul tool activates its effect, the world does not stop, but the user enters the gap in time.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for everything to be in two states at the same time - except for a cat sadist's cat - for example, a door cannot be closed and open at the same time State, a cake cannot appear in Morag and Brunei City at the same time, a person cannot be alive and dead, etc.

Only things that are touched by the holder of the "Time-eating Clock", such as the clothes on the body, the air you breathe, and the things you hold in your hands, will gain the effect of the "Time-eating Clock" in the gap of time, and can Being seen as part of the individual keeps time flowing in an eerie direction.

Because of this, even though Naiya lived in the gap of time for a year because of time suspension, Xi Wei, who possessed the ability to invalidate the soul, did not notice something was wrong.

Unless touched by the holder of the "Time Devouring Clock", even Xi Wei couldn't disable that ability and drag the opponent out of the gap in time.

That's how it should have been.

"Why..." The little girl nervously stared at Xi Wei who was looking amazed, her little face was full of vigilance: "Why are you able to act in this world?"

"If you can't drag it out, then come in by yourself."

Xi Wei said something that made the girl feel confused, and gradually approached her: "Although it is a bit troublesome to determine the exact location of the gap, it is still possible to reversely decipher the coordinates of the soul tool... In fact, I still have to do it this time. Get ready to fail your spellcasting and become a time slice or a time ghost..."

This intensified the vigilance on the girl's face.

"Did you forget me so soon? I'm so sad..."

Xi Wei chuckled, and the fake face on his face suddenly distorted and changed into the image of a middle-aged uncle.

For Naiya, that face should be classified as unforgettable.

Not too long ago, I took over this cursed pocket watch from the owner of this face.

"It's you!"

The girl screamed out in shock, feeling very complicated.

"Long time no see. I remember your name is Naiya?"

Xi Wei looked at the girl with a smile, and then said in a very sticky tone: "Do you remember what I said at the time? Now do you still think that the "Time-eating Clock" is a treasure bestowed by the gods? "

When Xi Wei first found Naiya, who had the highest compatibility with the soul tool "The Clock of Devouring Time", she once gave her advice - stagnant time is a powerful force, but the more powerful it is behind it, the more powerful it is. The price paid is even greater.

He had given the girl the right and opportunity to refuse, but at that time the girl who had tried the "Time Devouring Clock" was blinded by the power and convenience of this soul tool.

Only now did he see the deep exhaustion and slight regret on the other party's face.

"Even if this is the creation of the devil. I have no way out."

Even so, the girl still stubbornly raised her head and looked at Xi Wei: "The invasion of demons, the invasion of orcs, the coming of natural disasters... All these have created many orphans. Human beings are a race that has the courage to fight, even in the face of the stormy waves of the world They will also have the courage to fight hard. But it is precisely because of this that no one will stop and wait for these orphans—maybe they will be selected as servants of mages and magic swordsmen with good aptitude, but More orphans are just ordinary people. Don't they deserve to die in an indifferent world!"

Xi Wei glanced at the off-white, sculpture-like children in the room, and knew that they were all ordinary orphans in the girl's mouth.

Indeed, this world is not like the earth where he was in his previous life, where there are many orphanages, orphanages will collect and raise orphans.

This world itself is full of malice towards human beings, constantly tormenting this fragile but tenacious race. Except for those who are qualified, human beings who can't take care of themselves will certainly not put too much energy on ordinary orphans who are worthless .

According to incomplete statistics, in this crisis-ridden world. Among human orphans, only about 10% can survive safely. In fact, this ratio will only be smaller and not larger.

There was nothing Xi Wei could do about it - he couldn't build another school for compulsory education while opening the Academy of Magic, could he? In this way, the extra students...

Wait, hasn't the Chamber of Commerce under Edric's management been complaining about the lack of manpower recently? There is no need for these ordinary orphans to take up weapons and fight monsters recklessly, just to simply learn knowledge, and finally do some paperwork such as accounting, there will be no problem, right?

In addition, some positions that are short of manpower, too wasteful to use the words of college students, difficult to deal with golems, and need to be flexible can also recruit people to help.

If you think about it that way. It seems to be a bit messed up.

The only thing to worry about is whether Sophia, who is burdened again, will rush up and strangle him after knowing this...

After being silent for a long while in the girl's eyes, Xi Wei, who appeared to be inscrutable, asked her a little bit later: "If you can take care of these orphans without using improper means such as stealing, even ask someone to teach them Will you come over and help them with writing and arithmetic in their Shumen language?"

"Where is such a good thing in the world, even if it is really done, it will definitely fail in the end... Do you know what people in Brunei call these orphans? Swill rats... No one in this world cares about their death And live!"

The girl's face was full of frustration and pain.

She herself is an orphan without any qualifications, if she didn't suddenly get the inheritance of the soul tool. Maybe from time to time to this day, I have to hide in the corners of the city, eat leftovers, and live on garbage.

"So you also think it's good to let them be treated as swill rats and live in the shadows?"

Xi Wei secretly used a bit of spiritual magic in his words: "Stop joking! If you want to change other people's views, you must first change your own attitudes and behaviors! 'Failure' is only possible for those who have worked hard The words used, people who have not made any efforts are not qualified to say that they have failed!"

The girl stared blankly at Xi Wei's somewhat ugly face for a while, and finally nodded.

"If what you said is true, then it doesn't matter even if I return this soul tool to you."

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head in distress: "But I guess we have to wait a long time before the world starts running again..."

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Xi Wei flicked the "Time Devouring Clock" with his hand, and the ability to nullify all the effects of soul tools was activated, and countless colors and sounds filled the whole world again...

PS: I went to a relative's house today... and then I wasted the whole day...
