Witch Maya sustained the illusion without faltering and refrained from continuing to display the “doomsday” scenario, as if even the pre-apocalyptic scenes couldn’t confirm the location, the post-apocalyptic landscape, ravaged and scarred, would be even more challenging to pinpoint.
“Does anyone know where this is?” Maya scanned the room with her gaze, looking at the assembly of wizards in the grand hall.
After a round of observation, Maya saw many deep in thought, yet none could provide an answer.
“Judging from the vegetation, there are no obvious unique traits; these plants can all be found as native species in the Southern Region. However, this doesn’t conclusively prove that this is the Southern Region, as such vegetation could also appear in the outer regions,” said Shura, who was flipping through a book while conjuring various plants’ illusions in front of him, each marked with its name and common habitat. His book seemingly transformed into a botanical guide.
“If we really were to say it’s in the Southern Region, based on the distribution of these plants, I’ve made several notation points. It might be the central part of the Fertile Continent, like the Sebon Plains, Novaradin Wilderness, the right-leaning territories of the Hundred Bells Duchy; the southeastern, outside the Fairy Forest’s long grasslands, Berwyn Creek lands…and also, two or three areas in the Molong Continent where the White Mansion is located, meet the criteria.”
Shura reeled off 63 regions in one breath, covering the main world and its subsidiary planes, providing empirical evidence for each, his words filled with conviction.
“Let’s narrow the range down to these 63 regions. If anyone present has visited these regions, perhaps you can think of any place similar to the illusion constructed by Witch Maya?”
Shura’s words plunged the room into deeper contemplation.
This time, the reflection lasted longer than before, but still, no definitive answers were given. They managed to eliminate about 15 regions, but even then, 48 vast areas remained, each challenging to confirm as the scene in question.
Of course, as prophecy wizards, many among them also secretly employed prophecy spells to probe further.
Among the three major schools, “The Strings of the World” and the rare faction’s “Questioning Bell” are the most attention-grabbing. For these two, one can immerse into the strings of the Wizarding World to seek answers, while the other can directly receive confirmations through the responses of the Questioning Bell.
However, under the watchful eyes of all the prophecy wizards, neither the Strings of the World nor the Questioning Bell provided a clear answer.
From the White Coral Floating Island Academy, the “String Plucker” Angelo furrowed his brow and said, “The Strings of the World did not respond to me, as if obscured by a layer of mist.”
Tuvalu of the Song of the Deep Sea also spoke up at this time, saying, “It’s the same with the Questioning Bell, as if some power is shielding the prophecy. I find it quite strange…”
Their comments sparked agreement among the others. They were similarly unable to use their prophetic arts to probe for locations, let alone determine if they were within these 48 areas.
A pair of invisible, pitch-black hands seemed to cover their eyes, obscuring their view of the spiritual celestial bodies.
All the information was completely hidden under a veil of darkness.
They turned their gaze towards the eleven Observers in the center, hoping to get answers from them.
The Observers did not speak immediately but whispered among themselves, seemingly having discovered something. Some furrowed their brows tightly, never relaxing, some had eyes sparkling as if calculating something, while others remained silent, staring intently at the illusion… Their behavior left the prophecy wizards present even more baffled.
After about five minutes, Lapuye broke the silence: “We have just had a discussion and unanimously believe that your feeling of the prophecy being obscured might be due to external interference.”
“Like, Mysterious Objects…”
Without specific information about the Mysterious Objects, just the vague sensation is enough. The Mysterious Objects don’t even need to be activated; just the mysterious aura surrounding them can easily disrupt the prophecy to a certain extent.
The more potent the Mysterious Object, the greater its interference.
Like this time for La Pluie, commissioned by two lords of Sky Mechanical City on Star Observing Day to investigate the Bud Cultists, it was precisely because ordinary prophecy spells struggled to penetrate the mysterious aura of the “Bud,” an almost uncontrollable Mysterious Object.
Only through the Mystery of Starlight can some clues be found.
And precisely because Observers like La Pluie have this task, when they notice prophecy being obscured, they immediately think of the Mysterious Object.
La Pluie’s words were like boiling water poured into hot oil, instantly igniting the atmosphere.
What does a Mysterious Object mean to a wizard?
As long as it’s not useless, almost every additional Mysterious Object can become part of one’s foundation. This foundation will accompany their wizard journey, never becoming obsolete as you advance.
It can be said that the more Mysterious Objects one possesses, the more unpredictable and formidable a wizard’s power becomes, as they allow for the deployment of even more tactics. The balance maintained among major wizard organizations is partly due to this elusive power, making everyone cautious.
However, Mysterious Objects are ultimately rare, and each new discovery draws all wizards like moths to a flame.
Now, with La Pluie suggesting that prophecy might be obscured by a Mysterious Object, it’s no wonder they’re intrigued.
The atmosphere at the scene grew more intense with the discussion. La Pluie had no choice but to wave his wand again, forcibly calming everyone from the peak of their emotions.
“What we need to determine now is whether it’s in the Southern Region.”
“Moreover, even if a Mysterious Object is obscuring things, there are several possibilities. For example, the Mysterious Object could be hidden within the illusions cast by Witch Maya.”
“In addition, the Mysterious Object might be akin to a Wizard Garden with spatial qualities, wherein this prairie illusion exists within the Mysterious Object’s internal space.”
“Beyond that, there’s another Possibility. Witch Maya mentioned she witnessed doomsday visions, so could it be that this Mysterious Object is extremely dangerous, possessing attributes of disaster, and its very existence is a harbinger of apocalypse?”
La Pluie outlined three possibilities, the last of which deeply unsettled everyone.
Initially, they were overjoyed at the mention of the Mysterious Object. But upon reflection, they understood that such objects are often unfathomable and, due to their unpredictability, their potential for danger is virtually limitless.
Although not all the present wizards might grasp the distinctions between ‘controlled, semi-uncontrolled, and out of control,’ they do comprehend the terrifying extent of a Mysterious Object’s danger.
Should there indeed be such an apocalyptic Mysterious Object, they wouldn’t even dream of attempting to seize it, much less covet it.
Lacking the power to harness it would only result in their own undoing.
La Pluie turned to Maya: “To ascertain which possibility it is, and whether it’s in the Southern Region, we need to gather more information. Thus, I wish to see the true vision of doom.”
