You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

The "direction" of the explosion was designed. The aftermath would rush downward, generating a large amount of hot airflow, allowing the soldiers to "float" in the air for a short period of time. This process could only last about thirty seconds, but it was enough.

"It's so beautiful." Sean admired the visual effect brought by the star-shaped spell, sighed, and disappeared the next second.

And at the end of the world.

On the cliff.

Sean opened his eyes.

When Elviri and the others saw him "wake up", they asked, "Have you figured out a solution?"

Sean didn't answer, but just looked up at the sky.

It's daytime here, morning.

The sun was shining brightly, and the "fireworks" were not very clear in this kind of weather, but they could capture the magical fluctuations.

Everyone didn't know what Sean was doing, and subconsciously, they also looked up at the sky.

"Are you looking for something?" Elise asked.

Isa looked confused: "Nothing?"

Places far away from the city always make people feel refreshed. The sky is clear blue and filled with warm sunshine. It is beautiful, but it is of no help to their current situation. They are not here to see the scenery, but to find the temple.

There was nothing unusual in the sky.

"How could it be—?"

Sean muttered.

He thought there was something wrong with the Truth Spell, so he closed his eyes again and went to Covre.

As a result, the fireworks in the sky bloomed at the perfect time, and the howling of the soldiers could be faintly heard.

Even ordinary fireworks can be seen from several kilometers away. After being blessed by the Truth Spell, the magic explosion he designed has a very wide range. Even if his rank is too low to sense it, Adev and Sopea will definitely notice it.

But when we returned to the cliff, the sky became clear and peaceful again.

It was like the TV suddenly changed the channel.

Adev seemed to have guessed Sean's thoughts and said, "Whatever you are looking for, I can tell you responsibly that there is nothing."

Because of the high altitude at the end of the world, not even a bird can be seen. There is only blue sky and white clouds that are cleaner than those in the city, and an endless black sea like an abyss under your feet.

"Why not?" Sean didn't understand.

Was he heading in the wrong direction from the beginning?

Kovri isn't near the end of the world?

If not near the end of the world, then where else could it be?

There is also the "New World"——

Why can the illusory world constructed by the mind affect the real Covery, but at the end of the real world, there is no trace of Covery's existence?

Or was it that the Covery he reached by logging off inside the statue in the virtual space was also fake, and this was not the bug he thought it was, but another way to reach the riverbed of consciousness?

But he clearly wasn’t meditating, so “going offline” means “returning to reality” right?

Sean had countless questions in his mind.

He racked his brains to find a reasonable explanation.

But couldn't find it.

No matter how you think or what you assume, you will never be able to answer all the questions.

And when he went to Covre for the third time through the virtual space, he realized a new problem.

"wrong!"

Sean looked at the fireworks in the night sky, his eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly realized that the sky here was dark.

Logically speaking, the end of the world is very close to Kafrost, and the sky he sees should not be different, but the fact is that there is still a time difference between the two places, and the time difference is almost the same as that between Alola Town and Kafrost.

In other words, they traveled all the way from the town of Alola to the end of the world, thinking they were very close to Kafuri, but in fact they were standing still, or even further away from Kafuri?

"No, no, no, it's still not right."

Sean kept denying his own guesses.

If Covre has disappeared into the long river of history and no longer exists, then everything in the "new world" is an illusion.

It was in the past, so his trip to the ruins of Kofry through the statue was in a way reversing time and going back to the past, which was more magical and inexplicable than the problems they were facing now.

Time is irreversible.

This is the conclusion reached by countless great magicians and mystics in the Age of Scholars, and there is no doubt about it.

They are not able to question it now.

Sean opened his eyes again, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked at the darkness under his feet that seemed to swallow everything.

He had a hunch that no matter how many questions he had, as long as he could get through this darkness, he would get the answers.

Elviri ran over and grabbed Sean's arm, looking at him warily: "Don't do anything stupid."

Adev said it was impossible to do, so if Sean dared to jump he would surely die.

"I know." Sean patted the girl's hand, smiled, and told her not to worry.

He's not that impulsive.

Iris also comforted him: "If we really can't find it, forget it. Let's go back first and come back next time when we are sure." Sean nodded: "Okay."

Kate was very unwilling: "Is there no other way?"

"Yes." Sean said, "but let's go back first."

He was also very unwilling to accept the fact that he had spent so much time to reach the end of the world, but ended up finding nothing.

Going back doesn't mean giving up.

Sean just wanted to find a better place to meditate.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Since we can't find Alola Covere from the town, let's start from Covere and look for Alola Town."

Chapter 109 The Burnt Castle

If the riverbed of consciousness is really a replica of the real world, then there must be an Alola town that is the same as the real world. Everyone is familiar with the Alola town and the state of Xirakel. It is undoubtedly much simpler to search back from the destination than to search aimlessly like now.

"That's a good idea." Kate's eyes lit up. "How about we just meditate right here?"

Sean: “.—

"Didn't I say I'd go back first?"

"Then let's hurry up." Kate couldn't wait any longer.

It can be seen that he is really unwilling to accept this.

In fact, Elviri was unwilling to give up. After all, she had come so far and invited Adelf and the Night Watchmen to come.

But in the end, nothing was gained, and no one would want to go back like this.

But you can't really practice on the edge of a cliff.

When a wizard enters a meditative state, it is almost like a deep sleep, and there is a possibility of "sleepwalking". If someone is not sleeping well and accidentally falls into his sleep, it will be a lot of fun.

And there is another problem.

"We set up a connection with the Floris family last time," Elviri reminded.

If you want to go to the "New World" to find Alola Town, you must first pass the Roberts level, which is very difficult.

The Great Magician cannot be outsmarted, especially when the two sides are face to face. If Roberts is still waiting for them in Flores Castle, then they would be committing suicide by going there. They would then be mentally traumatized like Sopea and Kate, and beaten into half-vegetable state.

"We have to give it a try." Sean said, "Even if we're not looking for the temple, we still have to practice."

After the wizard tries double meditation for the first time, the "new world" will replace the original meditation world. If he wants to improve his magic power in the future, he can only go to the new world. This is unavoidable. To put it in a very strange but very appropriate way, Sean feels like he has boarded his own pirate ship. This "Falling into the Underworld" is definitely not as simple as practicing magic power.

There are only two ways to understand the true meaning of this Japanese art.

One is to wait for the Reshapers like Sopea, who were mentors or librarians in the temple in their previous lives, to recover their memories. Some of them should have participated in the adaptation of "The Law of the Underworld".

The second is to look for it in the "new world" just like looking for the ruins of the temple.

The "new world" is the riverbed of consciousness, and the riverbed of consciousness is in a sense "omnipotent" and "omniscient".

Containing all the information about this world over the long years, the answer to anything can be found in the "new world".

So in fact, whether they find Covre today or not, they must go to the "New World".

Elviri was not actually afraid of "death". On the contrary, she thought it was a good deal to be able to experience the great magician's power firsthand with only mental trauma as the price. She just didn't want to meditate on the edge of a cliff.

Besides being dangerous, it was also embarrassing.

Meditation for two requires physical contact with someone, and with so many people watching, it feels weird--"

"Let's go back first." Sopea said.

He also needs to give an explanation to the Night Watchman first.

So, everyone took a last look around the cliff, took some photos, then went down the mountain and drove back to the city.

By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already evening.

On the way, Iris apologized to Adev: "Sorry, Mr. Adev, you made a wasted trip."

Adev smiled and said, "It's okay. My old bones have been in town for so long that they are almost rusty. It's time for me to go out for a walk."

Adev is very easy to talk to. Except when he is in meetings and is more serious, he is like a kind old grandfather at other times.

The Night Watch is the complete opposite.

Sean was with Sopea when he went to see the night watchman.

After all, it was his idea, and he should be the one to give an explanation.

Although the night watchman still had his eyes closed, one could still see suppressed anger on his face.

"Do you think this matter can be easily brushed aside with just an apology?"

"Do you know how many people are here this time?"

"Do you know how much risk it would take to transfer these people out of the union headquarters?"

What would happen if the witch hunter families found out that they were out on a large scale and launched an attack on the Long Night Guild or the town of Alola? If they found the remains of the Temple and successfully attacked the Floris family, it could be called a "home exchange", but they didn't find the Temple or the Floris Castle, so it became a free gift.

"In wartime, your behavior is called false reporting of military intelligence, and you will be brought to trial!" said the night watchman coldly.

Sean:

:......"

Sopea: “.

He coughed twice and advised, "It's not that exaggerated, President."

The night watchman interrupted: "Exaggeration?"

"hehe."

"I don't think you realize the seriousness of the matter at all!"

This time they came to the end of the world and found nothing. Next time they may go to the Far North and get nothing. If they come a few more times, the headquarters of their Long Night Guild and the Dawn Council will be wiped out by the witch hunters sooner or later.

Sopea actually knows everything.

This is not just a matter of wasting time and energy, but also about "trust" and "survival", but he has no choice. Sean is Lord Black. Can he put all the blame on Lord Black, or help the Night Watchmen educate Sean?

It's almost as if he doesn't want to do it anymore.

From another perspective, Sopea is also helping the Night Watchmen.

Although he promised Sean not to reveal his identity, everyone will know this sooner or later. The harder the Night Watch scolds Sean tonight, the harder his future will be. Sopea can even imagine how stiff the Night Watch's expression will be when he finds out that Sean is Lord Black.

However, the night watchman did not understand his hint.

Or rather, they understood him, but misunderstood his meaning.

The Night Watchman thought that Sopea wanted him to give Adev some face. After all, Sean was a member of the Dawn Council.

It's not his job to teach a lesson, but I'm sorry, what he hates most is the ways of the world.
