Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 173 The Confusion of the Time Mirror

Lily and her team had just returned from the adventure of the magic circus when a shocking news came from the palace. The emperor invited them to a mysterious ancient library, where it was said that there was a time mirror, a magical artifact that could travel through time and space.

Lily accepted the invitation with curiosity and went to the library with Lei Te, Nana, Mo Li and Xiao Ai. The library was located deep in the palace, where books were piled up like mountains and the air was filled with the smell of old paper.

"This place looks just like the Hogwarts library in 'Harry Potter'." Xiao Ai exclaimed.

At the deepest part of the library, they met the guardian, an old man with sharp eyes. "I am the guardian here, what are you looking for?" the old man asked.

Lily replied politely: "We heard that there is a time mirror here that allows people to travel through time and space."

The old man nodded and led them to a secret room. In the middle of the room stood an ancient bronze mirror, with complex runes engraved on the mirror, emitting a mysterious light.

"This is the time mirror," the old man said, "but using it requires great courage and wisdom, because the time mirror can not only take you to the time you want to go, but it may also take you to a place you don't want to go."

"That sounds exciting!" Rhett said excitedly.

Lily hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give it a try. They stood in front of the mirror one by one, silently reciting the time and place they wanted to go. Suddenly, the mirror flickered, and they were sucked into the mirror.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing on an unfamiliar ancient battlefield, surrounded by swords and sabers, and warriors were fighting fiercely.

"Where is this?" Nana exclaimed.

Suddenly, a general in armor rushed over on horseback. "Who are you? Why are you here?" the general asked.

Lily quickly responded, "We are lost travelers who accidentally stumbled into this place."

The general nodded, "In that case, you will follow me for now and protect yourselves."

They followed the general into the camp and learned that this was a crucial battle, and the general was none other than the legendary general Li Guang. Li Guang was very puzzled by their arrival, but he was more concerned about the upcoming battle.

"If you are willing to help, we may be able to win this battle," said Li Guang.

Lily and her team decided to stay here to help Li Guang finish the battle. They used modern knowledge and strategies to assist Li Guang in arranging tactics, which gradually turned the tide of the battle.

"It feels like playing a game of 'Civilization,'" Leiter laughed.

After a hard and arduous battle, Li Guang finally won the victory. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Lili and others and presented them with a medal symbolizing courage.

"This medal can help you find your way home." Li Guang said, and then he motioned for them to aim the medal at the time mirror. With a flash of light, they were sucked into the mirror again.

This time, they came to a future high-tech city. The streets were bustling with people, and the surroundings were full of futuristic buildings and technological devices. Lily was amazed, "This is simply the world of 'Blade Runner'!"

In the central square of the city, they met a robot who called himself "Time Guardian." "Welcome to the city of the future, I am the Time Guardian," said the robot.

"We are travelers from the past. Can you help us find our way home?" Lily asked.

The Time Keeper nodded. "To find your way home, you need to complete three tasks to prove your wisdom and courage."

The first task is to find a lost ancient artifact in the city's science and technology museum. They searched everywhere in the museum and finally found the artifact - an ancient stone tablet. Lily carefully handed the tablet to the guardian of time.

"Very good, you have completed the first task." The Time Guardian said, "The second task is to decipher a complex code and find the energy core hidden under the city."

Under the guidance of the Time Guardian, they came to the city's underground maze. After a thrilling decryption process, Lily and her team successfully found the energy core.

"Your performance is admirable." The Time Guardian said, "The last task is to help us repair the time transmission device."

They were taken to a high-tech laboratory with complex and sophisticated equipment. Lily and the team used what they learned in the past to help the Time Guardian repair the teleportation device.

"You succeeded." said the Guardian of Time, "Now you can go home."

They stood in front of the transmission device one by one, silently praying their wish to go home. With a flash of light, they returned to the palace again.

"This experience is so incredible!" Xiao Ai exclaimed.

The emperor highly praised their courage and wisdom and invited them to a grand celebration banquet. At the banquet, Lily and the team were awarded the title of "Guardian of Time and Space", symbolizing their outstanding performance in this adventure.
