There is a relationship between the lock and the confinement cell, which can be seen not only from the purpose of the confinement room, but also the effect of going back in time on the cell door and the confinement chamber are related to 'time', and it is impossible that there is no connection.

Ann Yizhi estimated that the only thing that the upper echelons of the Ofa Prison needed was the 'forbidden spell casting', and that the time lapse on the cell door and the time acceleration in the confinement cell were likely just side effects.

As for why there are such side effects......

Ever since he had the precedent of finding epic items from the Waolek Underground Palace, Ann had asked Hela to learn more about the Lost Lock, so that he could dismantle the core when he encountered the Lost Lock in the future.

Judging from the appearance of the prison lock, the arrangement of this lock is far less elaborate than that of Vaulenec, and its effect is only similar to an oversized anti-magic force field with a slight change, and no mortal or guard is allowed to use magic. Unable to even make the most basic identification of friend or foe, it can be seen that the arranger of this mysterious lock is far less clever than Vaolek.

Secondly, the core An Yizhi used to arrange the puzzle lock also vaguely guessed the point.

Vaolek's Eternal Locks use the Staff of the Two-Faced, which is not as prominent as the two-faced staff. The trait here refers to mana amplification.

Some staffs only target a certain system of spells and amplify other spells, but the two-faced staff is a comprehensive amplification, as long as the magic skills have been improved, so it is said that he does not have too prominent characteristics.

And the mystery lock of the Arcane prison is already clearly visible, and that is time.

Since the magic of the prisoners in the Alpha Prison is not to maintain the lock, then their locks must also use some kind of item as the core, and An Yizhi estimates that this core item should be a strange thing related to time, and at least legendary!

Otherwise, it is impossible for the lock to have such a big side effect, that is to say, the energy responsible for the function is too large, and the circuit board of the lock is a little unbearable.

Of course, knowing this, in addition to making An Yizhi's heart burn, did not help him in the main quest of escaping from prison, so at present, he still held back the mood of possibly getting the legendary item, and tried his best to stay calm and investigate the clues in the confinement room.

He took off all the dials and tried them, but there was nothing to break, nothing that looked like a hint, so he had to put them back in place.

More than twenty minutes had passed, and the Dancing Light Technique had been made up four or five times, but he still hadn't found the slightest clue, which made him a little impatient.

"I'm guessing I'm right, there shouldn't be no clues......"

He habitually touched his chin and noticed that his beard seemed to be longer than before.

"I see"

He looked up at his arm and saw that there seemed to be some wrinkles on it.

"The meaning of ringing the bell every 10 minutes means that every 10 minutes the creatures in the confinement chamber spend 10 years"

The last time that thorny unlucky guy came out, he was dozens of years old, and it was because of this effect.

It's not that there is some magical beast that devours lifespan, but that the prisoner's time is consumed at a rate equal to 1 year in 1 minute, and finally dies of old age.

An Yizhi was locked up for 60 minutes, that is to say, when he came out, it was equivalent to spending 60 years in it, and by then An Yizhi would have become an old man in his 80s.

"You have to hold on tightly, it's really 60 minutes out, even if I can run out, I'm afraid I won't have the physical strength"

Expecting an 80-year-old man to escape the heavily guarded Offa prison? Apparently impossible.

That being said, there are ......

In the face of time and the anxiety of nothing, An Yizhi calmed down, so people are forced out. You can understand this no matter how you want to understand it, and if you want to be crooked, you can only say that you are dirty......

"My current clue is a pendulum with a large vertical clock that can be opened, a bunch of wall clocks that can be plucked from the wall......"

He slapped the door of his head:

"Damn, I didn't realize such a simple clue, it's really stupid"

Then he searched around, focusing on the size of the clock hanging on the wall.

The pendulum of the big clock is so powerful that it is placed in a box under the dial, which is about 30 centimeters wide horizontally, plus other types of clocks that can be removed, the meaning is already obvious!

Find a wall clock of the right size to tuck in!

Whether the pendulum breaks the wall clock that is stuffed in, or the clock card owner that the pendulum is stuffed into, in either case there will be further clues and hints.

When I just looked at the clocks, I only paid attention to whether they could be smashed, and whether their hands were consistent with the vertical clocks, An Yizhi did not pay attention to their size, and this time I recalled this clue and had to look for them one by one.

More than 30 minutes is more than 30 minutes, that is, 30 years have passed. An Yizhi obviously felt a little sleepy, and at the same time, his back was a little weak, and what made him even more uneasy was that his hair had fallen out a little.

Bald at just over 50 points? This is my future?

Fortunately, he knew that all this was simulated by the system, otherwise he would be really depressed.

Eventually, he found a square wall clock in an inconspicuous corner of the wall, the size of which matched the bottom of the vertical clock.

"Let's see if I'm wrong"

He put the wall clock in, and only listened to a few clicks like the sound of a gear jammer, and the pendulum did not move.

"The pendulum doesn't move, but the hands don't affect it at all."

The second and minute hands still spun fast, and the chime rang again once every 10 minutes.

This time An Yizhi felt more obvious than every time, he reached out and grabbed it, a layer of gray hair in his palm, his hands and body were also shriveled, and age spots could occasionally be seen, it seemed that he had entered the 60+ elderly.

"Clues........ Clues.......

He was so tired from standing for a long time that he had to sit on the ground.

At this time, he heard a sound behind him that looked like a stone sliding, and he thought that the stone door was open, but he was startled, and when he looked back, he realized that it was the floor that had opened.

Even if a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the original floor, it is like An Yizhi's scraping the ground...... I mean, the careful person certainly doesn't miss the clues that might be on the floor, he clearly remembers that there weren't any gaps there, and now the floor opens left and right, revealing a space that can accommodate one person.

"It's ...... A glass jar? ”

Ann pointed to a half-human-high glass box in the hole, with a green branch and a butterfly on it, and mossy dirt under the branch, all sealed in a transparent glass box.

At first, he thought it was a highly realistic thing that looked like a potted plant, but then he saw a butterfly flitting its wings and flew up, and then he realized that it was a real thing.

He tried to get the box out of the hole, but because he was too old and the glass box was too heavy, he only got the glass box slightly off the ground after two attempts.

There's something down there!

Moving the box slightly, he could see a faint blue light underneath the box, much like a magical aura, but he couldn't move it now, so he had to give up and began to seriously observe the butterflies inside the glass box.

It is a very beautiful butterfly with a pale blue phosphorescence on his wings, with a sparkling light with each instigation.

An Yizhi felt that this butterfly was very similar to the fantasy flash butterfly in reality, although this butterfly was more beautiful than the fantasy flash butterfly.

He saw the butterfly fly around the glass box twice, as if trying to get out, but couldn't find its way, so it fell back to the branch. At this moment, the butterfly suddenly stiffened and plunged into the dirt beneath the branches, and the insect corpses decomposed and rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ann was wondering what this meant, and then saw a yellowish egg under the leaf of the branch, and after a few seconds, the egg rotted into a caterpillar, and it began to eat a lot of leaves.

It's a lot like a super-fast shot in the animal world, and in a few breaths, it eats all the leaves. Then find a fork and spin silk on it to pupate.

After a few more breaths, the leaves grew again, the chrysalis wriggled and a beautiful butterfly broke out of its cocoon.

Its fate was the same as that of the butterfly before, it spun around in the air a few times, fell to the branch and stiffened again, fell into the dirt and rotted, and so on.

"What kind of hint is this? Symbolizes that time flows very fast......? No, no, the symbolism itself is very useful."

In the occult, the word symbolism is very important, and many rituals and so-called spells require symbolism to be performed.

For example, in ancient times, people sacrificed people because they believed that the appearance of the gods was similar to that of humans, and that they could win the favor of the gods by sacrificing similar things.

Later, in the era of civilization, people's means of sacrifice were changed to other animals to symbolize human beings, which is a manifestation of symbolism.

In the wizarding world, symbolism is equally important, for example, why a mage needs to pinch the spell seal to cast a spell, this is not a meaningless action, there is some kind of symbolism in it.

Finding something that symbolizes time in a time-related mystery means that it has a certain meaning in itself.

An Yizhi guessed that the series of arrangements in the confinement room were all aimed at preventing the time acceleration effect of the confinement room from getting too out of control, and the arranger used clocks and butterflies symbolizing 'life' and 'death' to suppress the overly powerful Mystery Core to control it.

It's a good idea, and while the Lock's setter is far worse than Valolek in terms of arrangement, at least they're doing a good job of dealing with the problem.

Putting aside the problems related to the Mystery Lock, Ann knew that even if he destroyed the entire confinement chamber, it would be impossible to stop the effect of the Mystery Lock, at best, it would only make the side effect of 'time acceleration' more widespread.

However, it is not for nothing to realize the function of the glass box in which the butterflies are placed, and since it represents a certain symbolism, can destroying it cause some unknown changes?

He looked carefully at the glass case, and found a small door at the top of one side that could be opened, although there was a small lock bolted to it, but it was difficult for Ann to open it with a magic trick and a wooden thorn.

It's just that the wooden thorn has been used many times, and this section is completely in the keyhole, and if he wants to open the lock in the future, he must find something else.

When Ann opened the glass case, it happened to be another hourly time, and his fingertips quickly aged, and his nails became so gray that he almost felt tired from sitting.

At the same time, a butterfly that had just broken out of its cocoon flew out of the open gap, and he flew around Ann Yi with a little light blue starlight, as if thanking him.

An Yizhi stretched out his left hand full of wrinkles and old skin, and the butterfly obediently stopped in his palm, and then bursts of light blue ripples burst out from the butterfly's body, and the butterfly gradually shrunk in the ripple-like light, turning into a pale blue gem the size of a fingernail and in the shape of a butterfly.

【Crystallization of Time】

Effect: Immunity to the effects of a single time, lasting for one hour.

Description: A gift from a living being liberated from the eternal cycle of life and death.

At the same time, An Yizhi saw that the hands of the clocks around him were spinning rapidly, this time not only the minute and second hands, but also the hour hand, so fast that they couldn't be seen clearly.

The floor closed again, and the wall clock stuck in the pendulum flew back to its original position abruptly, only to hear a ticking sound that seemed to come from the brain, and the surrounding area returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, except for the butterfly-shaped gem that was still honestly staying in the palm of An Yizhi's hand, and the system prompt.
