"Up ahead is the Starfall Sea, known as one of the wonders of Parmigi Highlands," Tree Spirit said as they flew past a small mountain range.
Angor looked ahead. It was midnight. He could only see darkness in front of him. But judging from the rich water elements in the air, there should be a lake in front of them.
Still, the lake had to be quite large if it was called the Starfall Sea.
As Angor tried to figure out how big the Starfall Sea was, they had already arrived above it.
Angor finally understood why Tree Spirit called the Starfall Sea "one of the wonders of Parmigi Highlands."
It was indeed a beautiful place.
Even someone like Angor, who used to think with the left side of his brain, was stunned by the beauty of the Starfall Sea.
Calling it the Starfall Sea wasn't really appropriate. It would be more accurate if the word "fall" was removed.
From Angor's point of view, the endless lake was like the cleanest mirror in the world, reflecting the stars in the night sky. When flying above the lake, it was hard to tell whether there was a starry sky under your feet or above your head.
When the night sky was filled with stars, the lake could be called a "sea of stars".
A sea of stars in the truest sense of the word.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Tree Spirit slowed down as they flew past the Starfall Sea. He looked at Angor and saw that Angor's eyes were already shining with the light of the stars.
"Witch Maya used to live in the Starfall Sea when she was still an apprentice. She built a wizard tower beside the lake and lived here all year round. It is also because of the characteristics of the Starfall Lake's Perfect Reaction Astrology that Maya made great progress in astrology. "
"However, after she became famous for her astrology, many Magi came here to look for her, hoping to ask her to perform astrology. She didn't refuse at first. But one day, a group of people who called themselves the Blood Demon Cult asked her to find a key in a maze. Maya did as she was told, but when she said the answer, the witch, who was holding her hand and saying words of gratitude, stabbed a sharp blade into her chest without any warning. "
"Of course, Maya didn't die in the end. I saved her."
Maya was the only Prophet apprentice in Brute Cavern who had the potential to become a wizard, so she was the center of attention. Tree Spirit planted a Clone Tree in front of Maya's wizard tower and saved her when she was about to die.
"After that, Maya moved back to the mirror world from the Starfall Sea."
"Why did those Blood Demon Church wizards do this to Maya? Are they enemies of Brute Cavern? "
Tree Spirit shook his head. "No, but they are going to explore a maze left behind by a legendary wizard. At that time, another team was also qualified to explore this maze. They were worried that the other team would also come to find Maya and learn the key to the maze. Because at that time, Maya's reputation was at its peak, and she would not reject the request of outsiders for prophecy. "
"So, they decided to strike first and gain the upper hand. They wanted to kill Maya and completely bury the secret of the maze."
It sounded like Tree Spirit was telling Angor something, but Angor knew that Tree Spirit was actually trying to warn Angor and Dodoro.
The World of Adepts was not a kind and peaceful society. There were always people who would try to kill you for reasons you couldn't understand.
Sometimes, you wouldn't even know why you died.
In this kind of world where good and evil were set aside and where the style of solipsism was the main theme, one's own strength was the most important.
If you weren't strong enough, you should try to hide it. You might have a great skill, which was fine in itself. But it wasn't a good thing to have it.
Angor was a wizard now, and he was not far away from becoming a truth-finder. Tree Spirit didn't tell Dodoro this story as a warning. Instead, he hoped that Dodoro would listen to his advice.
It was a good thing that Dodoro had made a name for himself during the Stargazing Day. However, he was not strong enough to ignore the rules and pressure, and he could easily be affected by his reputation.
More importantly, Dodoro was a descendant of the Reverend Clan.
His reputation was currently flourishing, and if his true origins were to be discovered, there would definitely be many people who would be tempted by him. It would be fine if it was just a prophecy, but what if he encountered people like the Blood Demon Church?
Not everyone was as lucky as Maya, who was protected by Tree Spirit when she was attacked by the Blood Demon Cult.
Therefore, the best solution was to keep a low profile when his strength didn't match his reputation.
Of course, Tree Spirit also wanted to tell Angor that since Maya had returned to the mirror world, Dodoro should come back as soon as possible. Only in the mirror world could Dodoro be safe.
Angor understood what Tree Spirit was trying to say, but he didn't want to talk about Dodoro. "I didn't know Maya had such a story."
"Every living being in this world is alive. They will become the main characters in their own timelines, and they will walk toward the future alone. Apart from themselves, no one can know what they've been through, whether it's happiness or sadness. " Perhaps it was because they were currently hovering above the dreamy Starfall Sea, but Tree Spirit also became somewhat emotional.
Angor chuckled but didn't say anything. "So, Maya didn't foresee the disaster that would befall her?"
"If everything could be foreseen, Maya wouldn't be an apprentice anymore. She would be a legendary wizard."
…
The Starfall Sea was huge. They flew for three minutes without seeing the end of it. However, they weren't looking for the end of the sea. When they reached a certain point, Tree Spirit suddenly adjusted his direction and flew in a different direction.
After flying for about 15 minutes, Tree Spirit stopped.
They could already see a small hill in the distance, which meant the edge of the lake wasn't far away. However, they still saw a sea of stars right below them.
There was a dark shadow at the edge of the sea of stars. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the black shadow was actually a mass of dense fog. Within the fog, he could vaguely make out a small island.
"We're here," Tree Spirit said.
Angor already sensed it before Tree Spirit told him so.
The thick mist was not mist at all. It was the aura of the Nightmare Realm that had almost materialized.
The thick nightmare aura all came from the island below. Without a doubt, the ruin full of nightmare creatures was on the small island.
