Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 147 [147] The Terrifying Observation of the City Lord's Mansion by the Dream Observer

A cold wind howled, bringing thick, dark clouds that obscured the moonlight.

The streets of Skywing Wizard City also darkened. The wizard technology streetlights were powered by magic stones, and the light barely illuminated the road in front and behind. Only the outlines of the city buildings on both sides could be seen, creating a somewhat oppressive and deathly silence.

There were hardly any figures walking on the streets anymore; mortals and wizards alike had all returned to their wizarding homes or mansions.

Wang Ya's robes billowed in the cold wind. His consciousness returned from the illusion of Zak'antun. He glanced at the law enforcement wizards patrolling the street below and then closed the window.

This wizard's mansion is quite luxurious and relatively expensive, costing one magic stone per night.

The extraordinary mental power had already checked the environment inside the room in advance.

【Dreamlike Illusion (Improved): A dream seed can be silently planted within the consciousness of a being, and a phantom body can appear at any time. The dream shadow can replace sorcery, allowing the original consciousness to reside within the phantom body. The phantom body can withstand a certain amount of damage and can also release a bio-field and sorcery. Once the dream power possessed by the phantom body is exhausted, it will dissipate on its own.】

【Dream Shadow Replacement (Improved): Allows the transfer of the original consciousness between illusory bodies, and accumulated damage can be transferred to other illusory bodies. It can also transfer accumulated magic damage absorbed by an illusory body to the location of the dream seed.】

Along the way, Wang Ya had many opportunities to implant dream seeds into Zak Antun.

However, due to the suppression of Zac Anton's biofield, the illusion completely disappeared.

The corresponding dream seed also disappears.

The subsequent improvements and creations likely focused on the dream seed, which can spontaneously absorb the spiritual power and consciousness fragments of the host life form, maintaining the cycle of its own dream power.

The prerequisite is that the host life form must not be detected.

Wang Ya lay on the soft bed, her eyes slowly closing beneath the red lotus wood mask.

A faint white sheen appeared on his skin.

The senses of dreams are activated.

Silently, the gap between dreams was opened, and his consciousness entered a deeper level of dream, a dream that belonged to him alone.

In a layer of colorful, murky, shapeless space, twisted lines spun like a washing machine, posing a powerful form of mental pollution.

As a dream wizard, his own dreams are different from those of other mortals and wizards; he can control them himself.

This is the source of dream power, and also the extent to which dream wizards can influence the dream world.

The Dream Wizard's dreamscape is his dream realm.

Going forward, Wang Ya will also work hard in this area to solidify his dream in the dream world and occupy a territory there.

[Dream Observation: By connecting with each other between dreams, and with the dream senses activated, one can observe all the conscious dreams in a corner of the dream world.]

Just as there are connections between people, there are also connections between dreams.

When mortals dream of each other, it means that their dreams overlap to some extent in the corners of their dreams.

Such examples are extremely rare and require numerous conditions to be met.

Wang Ya was in a seven-colored, murky dream space. The seven-colored, distorted lines in front of her began to blur, and gradually clear dream images appeared.

By influencing a corner of a dream through the power of dreams, one can connect their own dream with the chosen dream.

The subconscious mind exists in dreams, and memories also exist there.

This is a mortal knight in the city of Skywing Wizards. His greatest wish in life is to gain extraordinary power and become a wizard. He has been working hard in the city of Wizards for many years.

In his dream, he was wearing knight's armor and fighting against a group of extraordinary creatures. The sword energy he wielded was imbued with particle energy, forming a unique kind of witchcraft.

One after another, extraordinary creatures were slain by him, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Wang Ya's consciousness stood before the dream scene he was observing, his hands forming threads of dream power that extended into his dream world.

The scene quickly shifted, showing the situation in Skywing Wizard City.

Dreams are different from reality; they are bizarre, mysterious, and full of all possibilities.

The many beings existing in Skywing Wizard City have constructed a corner of the dream world. Influenced by the dream world, no matter what kind of beings they are, the Skywing Wizard City in the dream is the same, and they can also see what is happening in reality.

Each figure, so different from reality, is going about their own business.

They cannot see each other; they are each lost in their own dreams.

This is what makes a corner of a dream so special.

Dream wizards have the ability to influence, and even manipulate, dreams.

Wang Ya increased the output of his dream power, and soon time began to reverse, returning from daytime to yesterday's night.

The longer the time is reversed, the more severe the consumption of dream power becomes, and a corner of the dream will also become unstable, which is related to the blurring of consciousness and memory.

A wizard's dreams are influenced by a stronger subconscious, but due to their extraordinary mental strength, they will instinctively detect some anomalies.

Even some powerful wizards can influence a corner of a dream and change things with their extraordinary mental power.

Knights may be mortals, but they are the most powerful among mortals.

A suitable option.

Wang Ya's consciousness began to blur. If he couldn't find any more clues, he would have to give up tonight.

Finally, Wang Ya discovered the unusual place in the Skywing Wizard City in a corner of the dream.

It was a night when dark clouds covered the entire Skywing Wizard City, shrouding it in a thick layer of darkness that seemed to possess its own consciousness, engulfing and swallowing the city.

It's very vague; in much earlier times, even dreams probably wouldn't exist.

The many wizards and mortals in Skywing Wizard City stayed in wizard residences or mansions, and could only vaguely see what was going on.

Strangely, only this flowing darkness remained on the streets, and some ordinary drunkards walked along the streets as if they couldn't see the darkness.

Wang Ya's eyes lit up as a wizard's figure emerged from the void and appeared in front of the closed city gate. Although the figure was blurry, it was extremely similar to the Crow that Ma Fei had mentioned.

"Blood-red light, this is bio-energy, a blood wizard, no doubt about it!"

Wang Ya saw some of Klaus's actions and was reminded of Reilly Shebir, with whom he had fought.

In the end, Crow died at the city gate, swallowed by the darkness, leaving nothing behind.

Two figures emerged from the darkness, a man and a woman. The man was none other than the enforcement captain, Murphy, but his expression was not friendly; instead, it was filled with resentment and malice.

At this point, we can almost conclude the cause of Crow's death.

Wang Ya's consciousness was blurred and he was about to disappear at any moment, but he still had doubts in his heart. There must be something more secret hidden in this Skywing Wizard City.

This is the real reason why the Blood Wizard Crow was killed.

Could it be related to the unusual physical condition of those law enforcement wizards?

Something unknown has taken over the bodies of the original wizards and replaced their identities. Wang Ya felt that he was incredibly close to the truth.

Using the last of his dream power, he manipulated the dream threads to shift the scene toward the source of darkness.

The scene moves like a camera lens, the darkness increasing and deepening until it finally reaches the location of the city lord's mansion.

Like a fountain, all the darkness emanated from the innermost buildings of the city lord's mansion.

The dreamscape here is even more blurred, and there are even gaps in the dreamscape.

The reason lies in the lives of those in Skywing Wizard City. The weaker their influence on the concept of the City Lord's Mansion, the more blurred and incomplete the world presented in that corner of the dream will be.

Suddenly, the darkness began to rapidly converge, as if triggered by instinct. A pair of pitch-black eyes took shape in the shadows, carrying an ominous and evil aura. Even through the dreamlike imagery, Wang Ya himself felt a chill, a chill emanating from his very soul.

The next moment, his conscious body completely disappeared, and Wang Ya's dream, along with the withdrawal of his dream senses, also vanished.

Wang Ya opened her eyes, her expression beneath the red lotus mask grave.

Those shadows and darkness are related to the soul and consciousness, as well as that spontaneously coalescing dark eye, which is an instinctive reaction to being spied on.

Its shape was extremely strange and beyond Wang Ya's comprehension.

But what is certain is that the source of everything is the city lord's mansion, perhaps even the city lord who has yet to show his face.

The extraordinary power of the dream wizard is invisible to mortals, and even wizards find it difficult to glimpse.

The darkness was so intense, filled with extraordinary fluctuations, that mortals could not perceive it. Like the Dream Wizard, it focused on illusory spiritual power, but took a different path.

Wang Ya frowned. Within the wizarding system, there is another major category that focuses solely on this aspect.

Dark Wizard!!

Wang Ya wasn't sure if the source of that darkness existed or if it had discovered him, but judging from its aura and scale, its strength definitely exceeded that of a second-level wizard apprentice.

It should be at the level of a third-level wizard apprentice.

It's not like Hades Anton, a newly broken-through weakling.

Among the third-level wizard apprentices, this is the most powerful level.

It's not impossible that he could become an apprentice of a high-level wizard, after all, he only saw him from afar.

who can that be?

And why take these measures?

Wang Ya could only speculate based on the most serious possible scenario.

They are either evil gods or strange creatures from outer space that have entered and taken over the bodies of many wizards in Skywing Wizard City, changing their identities and hiding their true purpose.

Either an unknown black wizard uses soul magic or dark magic to possess the bodies of the original law enforcement wizards or city lord's wizards, replacing their identities—the purpose of which is truly terrifying.

Skywing Wizard City is a place where flying griffins are raised, so it is not lacking in resources such as magic stones, but it does not have a wizard teleportation array.

This is highly abnormal in itself, unless it is done intentionally to reduce the interaction between the wizards of this tribe.

Wang Ya vaguely felt it was the latter; he had seen evil gods before, but this one had absolutely no trace of them.

Without a doubt, the matter was extremely serious and needed to be reported to the Underdark so that the wizards of the Underdark could handle it.

This unidentified black wizard possessed an exaggerated level of magical skill; even his keen perception could not discern any difference without using the Eye of Truth.

It's easy to imagine that the wizards from headquarters, who had come to complete their wizarding mission, would be even less likely to notice anything amiss.

I can't stay in Skywing Wizard City any longer; I'll leave tomorrow.

As for the evidence needed, the blood wizard Crow left a ball of bloody light at the city gate, which embedded itself inside the gate, seemingly recording the relevant truth.

Wang Ya also admired the Blood Wizard Crow; he was truly outstanding, both in strength and wisdom. Ultimately, sending his hand out of Skywing Wizard City was merely a self-deceptive act.

The bloodstains left on the city gate were the real purpose.

"Don't worry, your efforts won't be in vain. I will bring back the truth you obtained at the cost of your life."

Wang Ya's eyes were incredibly cold.

He had a fairly good sense of belonging to the Underdark.

Let's leave aside the details of his relationship with the Dream Wizard.

The rules implemented here are relatively fair, treating every wizard equally, and as long as you work hard, you can seize the opportunity.

He also has an obligation to do something.

Suddenly, Wang Ya's pupils contracted. Footsteps could be heard on the street outside the mansion, and there were quite a few of them.

His extraordinary mental strength also allowed him to keenly sense that the powerful auras of the wizards were heading towards the mansion where he was.

"Wizard Arthur, the city lord is still handling official business. Knowing of your needs, he has made time for me to take you to see him."

Murphy's voice, transmitted through the fluctuations of his extraordinary mental power, covered the entire mansion.

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes and subconsciously clenched his fingers.

The timing of this arrival is far too coincidental; it is highly unusual in itself.

Could it be that, while observing from a corner of a dream, one's location was discovered and confirmed by the beings at the source of those dark shadows?
