"Timestamp?"
The red-haired girl by the fire asked:
"This seems to be another new concept. I've never heard of it before."
"It is a concept we defined ourselves: every individual exists at the correct point in time, and that point is that individual's timestamp. Timestamps naturally change in real time, because the time an individual belongs to increases minute by minute and second by second. Introducing this concept does not actually carry much significance; you can simply think of it as 'correct time.'"
Mr. Davis explained:
"Therefore, do not use a 'Beacon Acorn' at a time that does not belong to you. After all, if you use one after traveling through time, then theoretically everyone after that journey will have a different 'timestamp' from yours."
"Beacon Acorns," "Oak's Lucky Potion," "Empty Bottle Fruit," and even "Time Stability Anchors" were all listed among the items the Hermits of the Forest could sell to Shade. Given Shade's current standing in the Hermit Order, these were probably already most of the goods the Hermits had available for sale.
Among them, the "Time Stability Anchor" was not the most expensive. The "Lucky Potion" was actually priced the highest. But while the other items could all be purchased with cash, the "Time Stability Anchor" could only be exchanged for Relics.
The item itself was not a Relic, but its exceptional effect did indeed make it worth as much as one. Besides suppressing Time Curses, Shade even thought that if members of the Tree Hole Association wore it, their Rapid Spell would definitely be suppressed.
Thus, after discussing it with Miss Danist, Shade ultimately handed over the Poet Level Relic Noble Crimson, which he had acquired in Moon Bay City from Marquis Morrison—the man on whom he and Mr. Bernhardt had played that "Heart of Horse"
