“Wild Witch” Sineva.
Leaving aside her Frost Moon identity, she is a prime example of a witch who leads the entire Wizarding World.
In the world of wizards, there are naturally fewer women than men. Even fewer achieve greatness. Moreover, there are many examples in the Wizarding World where ambitious witches become content with emotional fulfillment after falling into emotional whirlpools, abandoning self-actualization.
Witches are more likely to be swayed by emotions than male wizards and are more keen to devote themselves to emotions.
However, the relationships between wizards often weaken over time, with only a few becoming stronger as time passes. This leads to the already scarce witches, whose emotional foundation is fragile, often having their ideals worn down by time.
But Sineva is different. She is a witch who has completely abandoned emotional foundations and lives only for her ideals.
Even surpassing many male wizards in her unwavering belief in her ideals.
She is a genius wizard who entered the path of true knowledge in just a hundred years and has now stepped into the threshold of a second-level wizard. In terms of cultivation speed, she is not far behind Sanders.
Such a staunchly positioned witch, coupled with her identity in the bloodline side, is a perfect role model for Nausica.
Therefore, Angel often heard her name mentioned in Nausica’s conversations. Even some of the classic battles involving Sineva, Nausica can recite like a treasure.
“Has Lady Sineva spoken out? Has she been to the Nightmare Plane too?” Angel asked curiously.
Sanders shook his head: “I don’t know about that. Maybe she has been there, or maybe she hasn’t. After all, she spends most of her time at the frontlines outside the realm, and Frost Moon controls much of the news from there. When Gloria fell into the Nightmare Plane in Hante World, it was also Frost Moon who reported it.”
“Are you suggesting a cover-up of public opinion?”
“Ordinary people might be subjected to cover-ups, but wizards aren’t so foolish. Wizards only care about what they want to know and what they don’t want to know. When you want to know something, there’s always a way.”
Angel realized that, not to mention the many “truth-telling” spells, even prophetic wizards alone had closed off most of the space for lies.
“Whether or not Sineva has been to the Nightmare Plane is not important.” Sanders narrowed his eyes slightly: “But judging from her tone today, she is undoubtedly interested in the Nightmare Plane… The only question is whether it is her personal interest or Frost Moon’s interest.”
Although there might be some tricks involved, Angel roughly understood Sanders’ thoughts: “Which one do you hope for, Mentor?”
“I actually hope it’s Frost Moon who’s interested. As for the reason,” Sanders glanced at Angel: “you should be able to guess.”
Angel nestled into the soft sofa, understanding Sanders’ meaning. If Sineva alone is interested in the Nightmare Plane, she might actually gain some opportunities. But if it’s Frost Moon, their full-force development of the Nightmare Plane would surely result in a massive downfall. For Sanders, who has always hated the Frost Moon Alliance, this would indeed be a good thing.
Even if they were to create something good in the Nightmare Plane, it wouldn’t matter. Because the development of the Nightmare Plane was, for Angel, not a bad thing at all.
As they discussed Sineva and the Frost Moon Alliance, several more voices emerged.
Without exception, they were all voices from the VIP booths, all supporting Sineva, hoping that the organizer could clarify the matter of the —Dream Realm Travelogue—.
Among these people, according to Angel, several had entered the Nightmare Plane before.
It seemed that this time, the sky auction had prepared enough hype, using the news of the Nightmare Plane to lure many hidden old monsters to the surface.
With everyone saying the same thing, Melanctha finally softened.
“The seal has not been broken, so we have not seen the contents inside. However, just now, I received a message from the consignor. She sent me a record of the content of the scroll. You can decide for yourself whether or not to bid on it.” With Melanctha’s words, the noisy voices all quieted down. Even the joking wizards perked up their ears, waiting for Melanctha’s narration.
Although they hadn’t recognized this travelogue before, with so many old monsters speaking up and considering that these people usually didn’t appear even in annual auctions, yet they came to this month’s auction, they weren’t stupid, and there must be something fishy.
Perhaps these old monsters came for this scroll.
At this point, no one argued whether the —Dream Realm Travelogue— deserved to be the finale.
“According to the records in the scroll, there are many Mysterious Objects in the Nightmare Plane, and even a mysterious loft filled with Mysterious Objects inside and out. For example, a mysterious mirror with absolute replication ability, a swing on the River of Fate, a box that reveals endless secrets…”
When Melanctha finished reading this passage, her own eyebrows furrowed, wondering in her heart: “Is this really true?”
The wizards below looked at each other, none of them believing this statement, and some even laughed out loud.
Melanctha was somewhat embarrassed, not knowing whether to continue reading.
On the contrary, a cold snort came from the VIP room on the third floor, silencing the atmosphere at the scene: “Hmph, ignorance! Don’t bring your preconceived notions into the Nightmare Plane.”
The speaker was Gloria, the only wizard who had publicly stated in the —Infinite Plane Conquest Records— that she had entered the Nightmare Plane.
She was the true knowledge witch with Lord Phantom Master, a contemporary rival of Sineva, but still inferior to Sineva, just a step away from being a second-level wizard.
Since even Gloria, the only one who had been “certified” by the Nightmare Plane, said so, other objections naturally shut up.
Melanctha raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself: So what she read was true? She originally thought she had overestimated the wealth of the Nightmare Plane, but it turned out she had underestimated it.
Packing up her surprised emotions, Melanctha continued: “The scroll marks the location of that attic, so if you get this scroll, you might be able to go there.”
The others didn’t know how big the Nightmare Plane area was, so when Melanctha said this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
But the next second, Sineva’s voice came out, and everyone immediately wilted: “Even if we have coordinates, the passages to the Nightmare Plane, and the positions to enter the Nightmare Plane, are not controllable.”
“Moreover, I have doubts about the authenticity of this. As for why I doubt it, I don’t need to explain, but I believe those who understand the Nightmare Plane know, right?”
Sineva didn’t explicitly state her reasons but directly expressed her skepticism.
At this time, Sanders laughed and said to Angel: “No need to guess, it seems that Sineva really has been to the Nightmare Plane.”
Angel nodded, and from Sineva’s words just now, it was obvious that she had been to the Nightmare Plane. As for where in the Nightmare Plane she went, that was unknown.
Melanctha didn’t understand why Sineva doubted the authenticity of this, she fell silent for a moment, didn’t respond to Sineva, and continued reading the message sent by the auctioneer: “The scroll also mentions that once it involves mysterious realms and unspeakable existences, when leaving the Nightmare Plane, memories will be blocked. The person who wrote this scroll, according to him, doesn’t seem to have his memories blocked.”
When Melanctha finished saying this, no one on the third floor spoke.
The reason Sineva doubted the truth earlier was that she knew very well that the Nightmare Plane would block memories, only leaving a vague impression. Just like that —Singularity Scattering Meditation Method— before, Sanders knew it was extremely powerful, but he didn’t know what the guiding method’s content was.
So, in the absence of memory, how could you record the spatial coordinates and the characteristics of the items inside in detail?
But now that the author pointed out the “blocking memories” issue and wrote that he would not be blocked, it could explain why he remembered the capabilities of the Mysterious Object.
Moreover, just the “blocking memories” point alone made them understand: the Dream Realm really refers to the Nightmare Plane!
“600,000.”
After a moment of silence, Quete took the lead in bidding.
After a while: “650,000!” “700,000!”…
Almost instantly, the price was pulled up to a million magic crystals by the people in the VIP rooms. From the soaring speed of the price, how could other wizards not understand that what Melanctha just said was true!
At least, those old monsters believed it!
Initially, they thought it was just an ordinary scroll and didn’t even care for it, but now everyone’s eyes were burning with desire as they looked at the scroll on the auction stage.
On the other side, in booth 012, a faint voice of doubt still echoed.
“Nightmare Soul?” Angel looked at Sanders, and as soon as Melanctha mentioned “the memory wouldn’t be blocked,” he immediately exclaimed in doubt.
Only Nightmare Souls wouldn’t have their memories blocked. Moreover, according to Sanders, the rank of a Nightmare Soul must be quite high.
Sanders hesitated for a moment and nodded: “It should be, or in terms of Nightmare Plane creatures, it’s… a Nightmare Watcher.”
“Before entering the Nightmare Plane, Nightmare Souls don’t manifest their talents. I didn’t expect that in history, there were people as lucky as you, who not only entered the Nightmare Plane but also possessed a Nightmare Soul,” Sanders sighed.
What Angel was concerned about was not the coincidence, but the fact that the history of the Nightmare Plane actually existed in ancient times?!
However, the characteristics of the Nightmare Plane were so strange that if it had existed in ancient times, the wizards, with their wisdom and ambition, should have discovered it.
Even if the ancient name was called “Dream Realm,” there shouldn’t be just a few records, right?
“Perhaps, in ancient times, the Nightmare Plane was very far away from the Wizarding World in terms of space and time, and may even have been so far away that they were not in the same concept. It was only by chance that someone opened a gap, but this gap was quickly closed again,” Sanders paused: “Until recent years, the Nightmare Plane might have come close to the Wizarding World due to its cyclical movement.”
This was Sanders’ speculation, without any basis.
But without any evidence, everything could only be guessed.
“Regardless of whether the guess is correct, this scroll should be the travelogue of the Nightmare Plane.” Angel glanced at Sanders, who was still deep in thought: “Mentor, the price has almost reached two million magic crystals, aren’t you going to bid?”
