Why did things go wrong tonight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis gently tapped the table in front of him with his right hand, quickly thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he already felt something else was amiss with this illusion, and it seemed the problem lay here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This illusion modifies the memories of outsiders who enter the small town of Ihelos, making them have fabricated memories like Lis, wishing to live here forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder this small town has never been noticed as different by outsiders, nor clearly marked on the desert map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people passing by this small town would turn away because of the high entry tax, choosing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And people like Lis, who paid the entry tax to enter the small town, would face the risk of having their memories altered by the illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a deadly trap for ordinary people. Once they choose to enter the small town, there’s hardly any way to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even extraordinary professionals, as powerful as Lis to resist the illusion, wouldn’t stay long in this ordinary small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis didn’t know how long the interval was for the illusion to massively alter the memories of outsiders, but it certainly wasn’t short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, the secret of this small town would basically remain undiscovered by outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis sighed slightly, now very curious about the purpose of the Legendary Mage Ihelos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s just for his lover, the girl Jue, is it really necessary to maintain such a large-scale illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also to meticulously arrange everything to protect the small town’s secret from being disturbed by others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis shook his head, unable to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps understanding what happened in this small town could clarify the purpose of Ihelos?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are there any other changes besides the modification of memories?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis examined his own memories, then suddenly paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting to attend the Gur Festival a week from now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his fabricated memories from the illusion, Lis clearly remembers being told by the town’s residents that the Gur Festival is a week later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t today supposed to be the Gur Festival celebration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Lis went to the town square and noticed the residents preparing enthusiastically for the Gur Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that his memories weren’t wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time discrepancy, is it also a variation within the illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the interval time for the illusion to modify outsiders’ memories is a week?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a week before the Gur Festival to the day before it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion endlessly revising everyone’s memories during these seven days, making the small town’s time permanently frozen in this week?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis recalled the introduction from the quest “Ihelos’ Determination”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of Ihelos’ Determination, eternally stagnated in time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Lis thought this referred to how all the residents in the town had turned into undead creatures, so the small town would see no further changes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but now it seemed “eternally stagnated in time” might also refer to the perpetual cyclic changes in the town’s time under the illusion’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gur Festival will never come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis speculated in his mind, feeling unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there really something wrong with the Gur Festival?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly happened during the Gur Festival?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made the Legendary Mage Ihelos permanently freeze the small town’s time, unable to move forward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he not want the Gur Festival to arrive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps he doesn’t want Jue to experience the Gur Festival?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis thought, then turned and instructed Taya:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ya’er, I’m going out for a bit, you stay in the room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I want to go with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taya jumped out of the blanket and ran to Lis’s side, holding onto his shoulder, shaking her head resolutely, unusually not listening to Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis sensed Taya’s determination, knowing the girl was worried about his safety, so he didn’t say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better this way, especially as he didn’t know if there would be any other anomalies tonight, it was best to have Taya by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lis lifted Taya in a princess carry, leaping out of the window and casting a spell to fly through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly a “princess carry”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their clothing was quite light, but with their robust physique, the night breeze had little effect on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying in the night sky, Lis and Taya overlooked the small town below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire small town seemed to be submerged in darkness, enveloped in silence, with not a single light in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis didn’t linger, heading towards the town square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Lis and Taya arrived at the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, Lis passed by here, and Taya and Jue also came here during the day while exploring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, preparations for the entire Gur Festival celebration were almost complete, including high platforms for the celebration, bonfires, and surrounding stalls all ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, in front of the two, all these celebration installations were being dismantled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones dismantling were none other than the same residents who were busily preparing all this during the day, a dense crowd of heads as far as the eye could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps all the residents of the small town were here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis even spotted Old Milo from the Golden Coconut Tavern in the crowd, seeming energetic as he carried a log thicker than himself towards the Golden Coconut Inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residents now had pale faces, expressionless, and moved stiffly as they dismantled the items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the lively and vibrant demeanor during the day, now they more closely resembled undead creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the sound of lumber being dismantled and the occasional footsteps, the eerie quiet of the night made it even more unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene unfolding before Lis and Taya was like a horror movie, evoking deep unease and terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These residents should all be in an unconscious state, being manipulated by the illusion to come here and dismantle the Gur Festival preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the illusion can modify people’s memories but can’t directly impact real-world objects, so it manipulates the undead residents to alter everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To restore the town to a week before the Gur Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the changes in materials, food, and other supplies, the illusion can completely modify memories to cover it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What grandiosity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this small town is endlessly repeating the seven days before the Gur Festival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis sighed; while such a scene might be spine-chillingly bizarre to ordinary people, for Lis and Taya, it wasn’t much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis considered probing these undead residents, but upon reflection, he decided against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the current complications, causing any further abnormal changes would be unwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis thought to himself, looking around the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jue is not here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she just happen to leave with supplies, or did she never come here at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis suspected it might be the latter, as Jue is considered the most special existence in this illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the square, Lis took Taya to the City Lord Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, deploying a concealed array didn’t trigger any change, so Lis had to leave and return to the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he looked at the sky turning slightly pale outside the window, Lis felt a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this illusion keeps repeating the seven days, then the Gur Festival will never arrive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, Lis won’t be able to experience the Gur Festival, and naturally, he won’t be able to learn the truth about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can this time loop be broken?\u003C\u002Fp>",1341,"2026-06-03T10:58:39.543Z","2026-06-03T10:58:45.090Z",1,"novelbin.me","f8c68b6bb802e6a1a0134af9bdf0c5f4aa0e5c52d2fc6ee3d175867bae69bb15","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-937","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-935",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
