"You memorized it?!" Ness raised his voice and stared at Angor in disbelief.
Even Iron Granny was surprised by Angor's answer. One had to know that she had seen similar situations before. This situation meant that the memory had a very special protective mechanism. There had to be a specific and corresponding method in order to be able to remember it.
She was sure that Angor would not be able to memorize it when Ness asked her for help. If there was something important, she might even go to Angor's place through the plane passageway.
However, she was surprised by the result.
Did Angor really memorize it? Did he find a way to solve the problem?
Angor scratched his head in embarrassment. "I didn't write it down. But I brought the tablet with the runes into the dream wasteland."
With that, he took out the relatively thin stone slab from his pocket.
Iron Granny shook her head and sighed. "I almost forgot that you still have the Dream Whelk …" She didn't know what to say.
Iron Granny was still thinking about the problem based on her own experience, so she didn't realize what Angor meant.
Ness also heard about the dream whelk. He looked at the stone slab and couldn't help but laugh. "Granny also told me that this kind of situation is a very special secret mechanism. There's no corresponding way to break it. Even if she went, she wouldn't be able to remember it. I didn't expect you to take such a shortcut. "
"The Dream Whelk is indeed a Mystery item. No matter how special the security mechanism is, it can't be pulled into a dream by force."
After sighing with emotion, their eyes naturally focused on the symbols on the stone slab.
They thought they would have to go there in person to see it, but now, it was right in front of them.
Both Ness and Iron Granny looked at the two symmetrical meandering symbols inside the hexagon at the same time.
This was because they knew very well that the outermost symbol was not important. The most important thing was still this symbol.
At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything special about this meandering symbol. But when you looked at it seriously, it seemed to be projected into your mind, turning into two moving crickets, constantly wriggling and wriggling.
However, when you closed your eyes, the dancing crickets in your mind would instantly lose all memories of themselves. No matter how hard you tried, you would find nothing but a blank space.
Ness and Iron Granny watched carefully. Angor was also paying attention to their expressions as they looked at each other.
Ness's eyes flickered as if he was trying to recall something. Iron Granny, on the other hand, seemed to have found something.
About five minutes later, Ness and Iron Granny raised their heads.
Iron Granny didn't say anything. Ness spoke first, "I don't remember seeing this symbol before. But … "
When Ness said the word 'but', he hesitated for two seconds before continuing. "I keep having this feeling that it's strangely familiar, as if I should know it."
Ness looked at Iron Granny, hoping to get an answer from her.
Iron Granny rubbed the stone slab for a while and said, "It's normal that you've never seen it before. It's also normal that you're familiar with it. Because it came from that place. "
Ness did not understand. "That place?"
"Cazider World …" Iron Granny replied.
Nessie's pupils constricted as he hurriedly asked: "Is this the language of the Cazider world?"
Iron Granny shook her head. "Even if you haven't learned the language of the Cazider world, you should know some of it. It doesn't look like the language of the Cazider world. It's just a symbol. Or rather, a symbol that represents something or someone from the Cazider world. "
"A symbol that represents a property." Ness seemed to have understood something when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with realization.
While Iron Granny and Ness were discussing, Angor was still confused. "What are you guys talking about? What's the Cazider world? "
Ness sighed and replied with a serious look, "Cazider World … You might not know this name because it's what we Soul Manipulators call it. Wizards who don't Soul Manipulators usually call it the Plane of Souls. "
The Plane of Souls was a place similar to the Dream Realm and the Nightmare Realm. It was called a world, but it did not appear in the material world. It was more like a paradise for energy entities, existing in a dimension that could not be explored by the material world.
Some people speculated that everyone's Soul Realm was connected to the Plane of Souls. However, this was only a guess and had never been proven.
But from all kinds of information, it was certain that the existence of the Plane of Souls was a miracle.
This was Angor's understanding of the Plane of Souls. What he knew was limited because information about the Plane of Souls was rarely spread to the outside world.
It was rare to hear about the Plane of Souls, so Angor could not help but ask, "So you're saying that the Plane of Souls has words? And forces? "
"Of course, because the Cazider world is not only a world of souls, but also a world of pure energy entities. The so-called words were passed down by these energy entities … As for the forces …" Ness smiled as if he was saying, "The Cazider world is bigger than you can imagine. But most of it is inhabited by undead creatures. Only a few undead souls can gather in these places. The safe zones of these souls are the hotbeds for the birth of forces."
"I've been to a Soul Safety Zone called Auhe Lenghe. There are more than ten forces there. I've also heard that there's a huge Soul Safety Zone called Warsaw two Undead Districts away from Auhe Lenghe. Due to some special reasons, there are at least a few hundred forces gathered there. "
Angor listened to Ness' explanation, but he did not pay attention to the forces. Instead, he asked curiously, "Wizard Ness, you've been to the Plane of Souls? I heard that the Plane of Souls is almost impossible for living beings to enter? "
Ness extended his finger and shook it left and right, "No no no, Cazider World is only closed to non-soul type sorcerers, because only souls can enter Cazider World, and most of the sorcerers' soul quality cannot reach the standard to enter Cazider World, only soul type sorcerers can enter."
"Of course I have. Or else, how do you think my tower in the Valley of Souls was built?"
Ness lived in a Soul Tower in Brute Cavern, which was made entirely of Requiem Stones. This was what kept the countless souls in the valley stable.
Angor was curious about where the Requiem Stones came from. Now Ness told him that they came from the Cazider World.
After Ness was pleased with himself for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression turned to one of hatred, "However, the only way to enter the Cazider World is controlled by three powerful Magus families, and the cost of entering is extremely high. Also, we need someone to protect our bodies when we go in. Even if you're a soul type Magus, not just anyone can enter. "
Ness shook his head. He did not want to think about how he was exploited. "Speaking of which, according to Granny, this symbol should represent a force in Cazider World. Or a powerful being. Who could it be? "
Back to the symbol, Ness looked at the two twisted earthworms on the symbol and felt a sense of familiarity. He was now more convinced about Iron Granny's theory.
Iron Granny spoke in a low voice, "I'm not sure. But it could be a force in the Cazider World. People there like to use earthworms as symbols, and their encryption methods are often used to interfere with minds."
"Cazider World?" A trace of surprise flashed across Ness's face at first, but then he thought of something and nodded. "That's possible. The forces on Steven's side are extremely powerful, enough to interfere with the otherworld."
Ness saw Angor's confusion and explained, "Cazider World is a huge safe zone, and there are many powerful forces there. Among these forces, there are also powerful existences that can directly cross realms and interfere with the material world without descending. "
"Only such beings would use the ritual to send their power to the real world and complete a sacrifice."
Iron Granny added, "Actually, it's not hard to find out which force is in Cazider World. From the ritual, we can tell that this force is hostile to humans. They also care about the number 36. With these two conditions and the details of the sacrifice, we can ask the Soul Manipulators. "
Iron Granny then changed the topic, "However, it's pointless to ask them about their background."
"Why do you say that?"
Iron Granny said, "During the sacrificial ceremony, the organization from the Stellin Safety Sector could've come in reverse, but they didn't. It's very likely that they came in response to the person who held the sacrificial ceremony, not on their own."
"The person who held the sacrifice has obviously left, and the altar has been abandoned. It's actually very difficult to find out why the other party offered the sacrifice and what they want. Unless we go to the Stern Safety Sector and ask that force, but that's not very meaningful."
Angor looked at Ness, who nodded to show that Granny was right.
"Does Lady Shira's appearance have anything to do with the ritual?"
"I'm sure Lady Shila didn't come from Cazider World. She's an undead, but she's a citizen of the Central Empire. It's normal for her to show up there, "Ness answered. "But I think the reason why Lady Shila became so strong in such a short time must have something to do with the death aura in the altar. Maybe later, Mrs. Shila found the altar and cultivated there with the death aura and slowly became so powerful. She might even have become a special undead through the death aura. "
"The death aura in the altar came from the Soul Plane?"
Ness nodded. "Yes. Cazider World doesn't lack death aura, and there are plenty of accumulated death aura in the undead area, which can be used to generate death aura continuously. I think some of the death aura escaped from the undead area during the ritual, and it was attracted by this symbol, which caused it to release a large amount of death aura in the underground cave. "
By now, Angor had already learned the whole story from Iron Granny and Ness.
Many years ago, a wizard who looked like a Karabit held a sacrificial ritual in the underground cave and made some kind of deal with a force in the Soul Plane. The content of the deal was unknown. After the sacrificial ceremony, the man left the cave, and the altar was abandoned. After some time, Madam Shila accidentally found this place and slept in the cave, gradually cultivating until today with the help of the Death Qi.
The most important thing was the wizard who held the ritual in the first place.
But now, Angor knew that the wizard had been gone for a long time. No matter what kind of deal he made with the force in the Soul Plane, it would be difficult to find out.
Indeed, as Granny had said, this matter could only end here.
Besides, Angor was worried about Freud's safety since this place was close to Freighting Town. Now that he was sure there was nothing to worry about, there was no point in investigating further.
There were many secrets in this world, and he didn't need to worry about them.
With that in mind, Angor made up his mind to leave the altar alone.
"Looks like this trip was a waste of time." Angor shrugged. "But it's not that bad. I found a place full of death aura. Freud should be able to train his soul here."
Ness agreed. Cazider World was the best place for an undead to train, and Freud could use the death aura there to speed up his training.
After making sure the altar was safe, Angor prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Iron Granny touched the symbol on the stone tablet and said, "You said you came here for nothing, but that's not the case."
"What do you mean by that, Granny?" Angor's half-transparent body quickly became solid again.
Iron Granny pointed at the symbol. "This is the biggest reward."
Iron Granny's words puzzled Ness. "Isn't it just a symbol that represents a property? What's the point?"
"It means that it contains a trace of constant energy fluctuation of the force in Svente Safety Zone."
"Constant energy fluctuation? Do you know what it means, Granny? "
Iron Granny looked at the wriggling symbol. "I don't know what it means, but I do know that it's a special kind of soul energy that won't dissipate easily. We can study it to find the target's location."
"Location?" Ness didn't understand what Iron Granny meant at first. But soon, he realized something and looked at Iron Granny in confusion. "Granny, you mean —"
Iron Granny nodded. "If we can find the coordinates of Cazider World, we'll be able to open a passage to that world."
Ness stood up. This was exactly what he had in mind.
If they could find the coordinates of Cazider World, they would be able to open a passage on their own, and he wouldn't have to spend money to borrow the passage from the three clans.
This was definitely a matter of great importance to Nessie. In fact, it was important for Brute Cavern. After all, Cazider World had a lot of Soul Manipulators.
But soon, Ness frowned again. "I know what you mean, Granny. But if we want to get in touch with the special soul energy of that force, we need to find a way to crack it."
They had to crack the outer layer of the seal to get in touch with the power inside.
And that was what they needed to do in the first place. They had to meet certain conditions and methods to crack the seal.
Once they failed, the symbol would disappear along with the constant energy fluctuation, and they would never be able to study it, let alone find its coordinates.
"Then we'll do it. Don't you remember Angor's Dream Whelk?"
Ness's eyes glowed again. Yes, there was a Dream Whelk! The Dream Whelk could pull objects from the real world into a dream. It didn't matter if the object in the dream was damaged. It wouldn't harm the object in the real world anyway.
He could always find another way to crack the seal if he failed. There would come a day when he would succeed. Once he succeeded, he could test it out in the real world.
With that in mind, Ness looked at Angor with his shining eyes.
"You have to help me!"
