Jake knew the question of how long he had been in time dilation was just a stupid joke, but he still thought about it seriously. The last time he had spent fourteen years or something in time dilation, and that had translated to a few months. Would it be more? Jake considered and concluded It couldn’t be more than half a year, even if that would be a while.
However, he did notice one thing. His token had no new messages left behind on it. The last time he was in the time chamber, he had gotten some messages in the meantime, with the messages appearing whenever he exited. This time he hadn’t gotten any. So, maybe less than three months? Forty years resulting in three months passing would be a 1-160 dilation, which seems like… a lot? Was it a lot?
Needless to say, Jake had no way to math it out. But he did have one way to find out quickly without having Villy tell him.
”How about we make a bet on if I can guess the time? Down to the hour.” Jake proposed to tease the snake god in turn.
”Oh, interesting? What are we betting?” Villy answered with genuine curiosity. ”Wait, I know! The loser has to wear an outfit decided by the other.”
Jake seemed to consider it seriously for a few moments. ”Pictures allowed?”
”Obviously.”
”Hm… fine,” Jake accepted.
”I am already assuming I lost, so how does my Chosen have a way to accurately determine Realtime? It tends to be annoying unless you have system timers, and I don’t think you have any of those, and I already scanned the mansion for any kind of timing features on the ritual circle,” the Viper asked curiously. ”Then again, maybe you were bluffing.”
Jake smiled as he spoke up.
”Hey, Duskleaf, how long was I in there?”
The sprout-clone of the alchemist god had been in another room, and Jake spoke loud enough for him to hear. Not that Jake doubted he would pick up what Jake said no matter how loud he spoke. As expected, the alchemy god peeked his head in.
”It was-”
”My dear disciple. Do not answer that.”
Duskleaf looked confused a bit as Jake countered.
”If you tell me, you will get a picture of Villy in an outfit of your own choosing,” Jake smirked, offering up the opportunity for him to decide.
”If you tell him, I will-”
”Fifty-five days, eleven hours, sixteen minutes, and… seventeen minutes now,” Duskleaf cut Villy off.
Jake looked at Villy. ”Fifty-five days, eleven hours, and seventeen minutes. Give or take.”
”This is clearly collusion,” he answered defiantly.
