The attack lasted for half an hour before the magical beasts on the riverbank dispersed. Salin felt that he was too nervous. He could have controlled the Water Pattern Shield to go downstream, but he had to stay here and endure it.
They floated to the surface and looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there were no dangerous creatures lurking, Salin and Rex climbed ashore.
Rex cast a cleaning spell to wash away the filth on him and Salin. He felt a little better.
"Salin!"
"Yes?"
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today," Rex said to Salin in a tough tone, which was rare.
"I won't tell anyone if I can get out." Salin's words discouraged Rex. Get out? She didn't even know where this place was. Like Salin, she had a lot of knowledge in her head, but she hadn't fully digested it. She couldn't think of it immediately when she needed it.
But Rex knew that even a god couldn't create a perfect world in a pillar.
Salin sat down and grabbed a handful of soil. There was plenty of water in the soil. Salin used Icy Sight to analyze it carefully. Even though he couldn't see through this world, Salin knew that the six elements existed in the soil at the same time.
Rex also sat down and plucked a blade of grass. He took a hairpin from his head and used the sharp end of the hairpin to cut the blade of grass into strips.
The veins in the blade of grass were clearly displayed before him. This grass was real.
The sky gradually darkened. Salin pointed at the sky and said, "Rex, look."
The mountains in the distance were undulating and surrounded by white clouds. It was a delightful green. After staying in the Hell of Godly Punishment for a long time, it felt like heaven as described by the believers. At the top of the mountain, the sun was setting. The golden-red light spread on the surface of the water, shining brightly. A white fish leaped up from the surface of the river and fell back into the water. The wind blew against their faces, bringing with it water vapor. It was slightly cold.
If this was an illusion, it was too real.
"I can't think of where this place is." Rex shrugged his shoulders. For the first time, he felt powerless. If this was an illusion, he wouldn't be able to leave even if his Divine Sieve Ring was completely destroyed.
"Let's think carefully. Set up a few magic arrays. Don't get ambushed by the magical beasts." Salin knew that it was useless to wait. He had too much knowledge in his memory. He had to recall it bit by bit, and perhaps he could find some clues.
"Okay, you think about it first." Rex took out two metal disks from his God Sieve Ring and set up a dark space. Then, he took out the Battle Puppets to patrol the surroundings. After setting everything up, Rex started to search his memory about the Illusory Reality.
The world seemed to have quietened down, and only the sound of the river could be heard. Salin carefully searched through his memories. Not only did he search for knowledge of illusions, he also searched for information related to magical spaces.
Salin didn't stop until he felt hungry. He opened his eyes, only to see that Rex had cast Illumination and placed a military tarp between the two of them. On the tarp were sliced black bread and bacon.
"What did you think of?" Salin asked Rex as he took the cup and created some Restoration Water.
"Just a little, but it's not enough. What about you?"
"I've thought of that too."
"Tell me about it."
"In my memory, there isn't much information about illusions. I mainly recall magic notes with a history of more than a thousand years. I found a sentence, and it seems to be related to the current predicament. "
Rex listened while greasing Salin's black bread. She was a little surprised. The mages in Alchemy City were indeed rich. They actually had magic notes with a history of more than a thousand years.
"In one of the magic notes, there is a description of the world. That mage said that the world is a cheese. "
Rex's heart brightened. Salin was indeed very smart. He didn't think about it from this perspective. But what he thought of was indeed related to this inconspicuous sentence.
The world is a cheese. This sentence was said by a very famous Legendary Magic Shooter. This Magic Shooter was famous a thousand years ago. When the Vatican rose, the Holy Knights almost swept across half of the continent, and they were only defeated at Holy Rock City. But the opposition between mages and the Vatican didn't just happen at that time. Before that, this Legendary Magic Shooter named Rafael had always been against the Vatican. Among his students, there were more than 12 Magic Shooters. On the Myers Continent, these Magic Shooters destroyed the Vatican's attacks again and again. Four of the Seven Oracles died in Rafael's hands.
The remaining three Oracles later died in battle in Holy Rock City. The strength of the Vatican fell, and in the end, the Tanggulas Empire could only get a quarter of the continent.
The world is a cheese. This was an inconspicuous sentence among Rafael's shocking remarks. Because mages had the least understanding of space, Rafael wanted to use the simplest way to explain what a plane was.
Mages believed in magic formulas and were used to using basic knowledge to deduce conclusions. Rafael's theory, however, was top-down and did not give any basic principles.
Rafael believed that every plane was actually a piece of cheese with countless small holes on it. The people in the plane were not clear about the external structure of cheese. From any small hole, one could reach another plane. You could even reach the same plane from different holes. This depended on the fixed angle and operation period between the planes.
In fact, the plane itself was as fragile as cheese. These holes were also changing, and the coordinates of the connection between the planes were not fixed. It was just that the time of this change was long compared to the lifespan of humans, so mages would mistakenly think that the coordinates between the planes were fixed.
Just like cheese would go bad, planes would also die. If mages wanted to live forever, they needed to open up an eternal plane. This plane was called the Divine Realm, which was also what the Holy Church called the Kingdom of Heaven.
In addition to these, Rafael also said a lot of blasphemous words. The worst thing was that he also scolded the Goddess Myers. Almost all mages hated the God of Light, but the Goddess Myers was a god that mages respected more.
Perhaps because of this, although Rafael had done the most to attack the Holy Church, mages did not like him, and his theory was also looked down upon. Until the Holy Church announced that they had captured Rafael, only a small number of mages went to rescue him.
More than ten Magic Shooters died in this rescue, and the second batch of Oracles trained by the Holy Church were also killed or injured. Rafael was not rescued, and the Holy Church executed the biggest heretic in the past thousand years on the Radiance Square.
Everyone believed that this thousand-year-old legend was dead, because before this, the second Pope of the Holy Church, Duncan I, had suddenly passed away, and the Pope had also fallen at the same time. Everyone believed that this was the price of rounding up Rafael.
The Pope was the leader of the Holy Church, and he had three Divine Artifacts in his hands. The Pope also had one Divine Artifact in his hands. These two people were in their prime at that time, and they were both level nine experts. No one would believe that they died of illness.
Rafael disappeared, and all his theories and magic notes were erased from the Myers Continent. His disciple also disappeared at the same time, never to appear again.
The world was a cheese. It sounded like a joke, but Rex and Salin were really absorbed into a huge metal cheese.
The hole was like a plane channel, a perfect independent space. There were the six elements, the sun, the moon, and the stars, as well as mountains and rivers, plants, and magical beasts.
The half plane outside the metal pillar was incomplete, but the metal pillar was full of vitality. All of this was in line with what Rafael had said. He wanted to create an eternal plane. This metal pillar might just be a prototype. After the Magic Tower outside collapsed, everything inside the metal pillar could no longer function normally. And the existence of the Magic Tower depended on the life of the half plane.
Salin and Rex didn't know whether the Hell of God's Punishment was gradually growing or gradually collapsing, but no matter what, this half plane also had a life. Rafael's cheese view was still at the theoretical stage, but it was great enough. He created a half independent world, which was beyond the power of humans.
If the cheese was fragile, it could be destroyed from the inside. Back then, the humans on the Myers Continent could cross planes at will because their power was stronger than the hardness of the cheese. The cheese was too fragile for them to imprison their bodies.
Rex also understood this. The problem was that neither she nor Salin had the power to cut the cheese.
If they didn't have the power to cut the cheese, finding the holes in the cheese might be a shortcut. The problem was that there was still a huge gap between theory and reality. For example, Salin had learned Figaro's magic formula. As long as he was given enough time, he could destroy the sword energy of the Golden Sword Saint. The preparation time was a little too long. The current situation was just like that. Salin and Rex looked up at the sky at the same time. It was already dark, and the stars in the sky were bright. Every star could be a passage.
If they found the hole that sucked them in, they could find a way to go back. But how could they fly into the sky?
Rex relied on the power of the mage robe, but she could only fly a few hundred meters. This space was so vast that she probably wouldn't be able to find the exit even if she flew for thousands of miles.
"Rex, what do you think of this world?"
"It's terrible," Rex replied impatiently. She was already annoyed enough that she was trapped in the Hell of God's Punishment. Now, it was as if she was put in a double cage. It was even more difficult for her to return to the Myers Continent.
"I mean, compared to the outside world." Salin wasn't in a hurry. He saw that Rex's emotions were a little unstable, so he patiently comforted her.
Only then did Rex calm down, think carefully, and say, "It's still not that good. The six elements in this world are basically balanced, but the total amount is not as good as the half plane. For mages, training here is not as good as the Six Dimensional Space outside. "
"You're right. This might just be a toy of the owner of the magic tower."
"Toy?" Rex didn't understand.
