Angor and Count Black exchanged a glance. Neither of them said anything, but they both knew what the other was thinking.
The Dark Earl hesitated and said, "The Moon Frost Alliance might be behind this. However, the core members of the Moon Frost Alliance can be traced. Most of them are scattered in the Southern Region, the Abyss, and the frontlines of the Wasteland Expedition. Let's not talk about the wizards in the Southern Region for now. As for the wizards in the Abyss and the frontlines of the Wasteland Expedition, there are wizards from other organizations nearby."
In other words, Moonfrost Union did not send anyone to the Panic Plane at all.
Even if they did send a few spies to the Panic Plane, they were definitely not core members.
In that case, Moonfrost Union had no reason to hide the truth about the Panic Plane.
Just like what Dark Earl said about Manda Plane, Floating Mech City would find an excuse to send out a large number of core forces to take over Manda Plane.
At that time, the wizards who stayed in Floating Mech City were mostly academies.
On the other hand, the Panic Plane was a different story.
If Moonfrost Union really wanted to hide information about the Panic Plane, they should have sent a group of wizards to the Panic Plane to smuggle some resources back.
However, Moonfrost Union did not do that. All the core members of Moonfrost Union were found, which meant they did not go to the Panic Plane.
There was something else that Black Earl could not figure out.
The Moon Frost Alliance had spread some rumors, but those rumors were not enough to stop the wizards' footsteps.
Even though there were many adepts who chased after benefits, there were still some adepts who walked alone in pursuit of truth. They would never stop their exploration, nor would they stop their research.
This kind of relentless pursuit would not be stopped by any unfavorable conditions. Unfavorable conditions could be overcome, but they would never stop pursuing the truth.
Under such circumstances, there would still be wizards who went to the Panic Plane purely for the sake of seeking knowledge.
If Moonfrost Union was hiding something and wanted to monopolize the resources of the Panic Plane, they would do everything possible to stop them. But they did not do that. They even recorded the coordinates of the Panic Plane in Expedition into Planes.
The coordinates were correct. Otherwise, where did Elmi come from?
Considering all the details, Moonfrost Union might not be the real culprit even though they seemed to be spreading the rumors.
It was possible that there were other unknown forces behind the Moon Frost Alliance, and "they" were controlling the public opinion.
It was also possible that the Moonfrost Union only saw one side of the Panic Realm. They didn't know that there were other wizard forces in the Panic Realm.
The former was too much of a conspiracy theory, and if one thought about it carefully, there were contradictions. For example, if there were really other forces leading public opinion, why would they allow willing Adepts of the Southern Region to go to the Panic World?
Also, it was unlikely that he would treat the Moonfrost Union's outpost wizards as unprofessional idiots.
Therefore, even the Black Earl was not sure of the exact situation.
While they were talking, Dorcas's gaze was still fixed on the mural that Kael had taken out.
His eyes were focused and his left hand kept rubbing his chin. He looked like he was thinking about something.
"Sir, did you find anything?" Kael had wanted to put the mural away for a long time, but Dorcas was too focused on it, so he couldn't do anything about it.
Dorcas said, "Since there's a second awakening, I'm thinking, could the so-called butterfly-winged girl in the mural have already awakened a second time? That's why she was able to control that stupid lion below. "
Wa was right next to Dorcas. When he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Even if it's a second awakening, doesn't she have flowers and plants on her head? Did you see those things on the butterfly-winged girl's head? You just thought she was pretty and wanted to take a few more looks … Hmph. "
Dorcas didn't reply to Wa and continued to look at the mural. He kept having the feeling that he had overlooked some areas.
Whether it was this mural or the two memories that Laplace had listed out.
While Dorcas was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Wa and Kael talking in a low voice.
Wa said, "You really didn't find anything else in the ruins?"
Kael shook his head, "No, there might have been something in the ruins, but from the traces, it was probably taken away a long time ago."
Wa was puzzled, "Let's not talk about the ruins outside. Just the secret room that you found was very strange. There was only a mural related to the Panic Realm, and nothing else? Even if there were traces, it would be fine. It's too strange to build a secret room just for a mural. "
Kael thought for a moment, "There were other things in the secret room. I saw a small sacrificial instrument that looked like an altar. It should have been an extraordinary instrument, but as time passed and there was no energy to replenish it, it gradually became an ordinary object. Some of the instruments even cracked and broke. It's been too long. "
Wa said, "It makes sense when you think about it like that. It's been thousands of years since the Age of Meteorite. If it was just an ordinary extraordinary object, it would have rotted away long ago. It's normal for it to be empty. "
At least the underground sewer had a huge magic array, and there was enough energy to allow some extraordinary items to pass through. Even so, most of the items in the sewer had turned to ashes. Moreover, it was just an ordinary ruin without any energy supply.
Thinking of this, Wa was relieved.
"Right, time! It's time! "After listening to Wa and Kael's conversation, Dorcas suddenly shouted.
Dorcas's shout attracted everyone's attention.
Dorcas had always been very thick-skinned, so he didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. Instead, he became even more excited. "Just now, I kept having the feeling that I seemed to have overlooked something. "I felt something was missing, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
Then I heard them talking, and I thought about it. "
"It's time! Did we forget about time?! "
Dorcas' excitement didn't affect the others. While Vale and Kael didn't get it, Angor and Black Earl fell into deep thought after hearing Dorcas' words.
Angor looked at Laplace, who was behind the prism. "Can you tell how long ago those two images were?"
Laplace said, "The memories reflected in the mirror won't last long in the Empty Mirror Sea. When I see the memory, it's most likely that it's when the incident happened."
Laplace tapped on the prism, and the image of the girl who awakened for the second time appeared.
"Using human time, this image is about five thousand years ago. Forgive me for not being able to tell the exact number. I've seen too many memories."
Angor nodded in understanding.
If it was five thousand years ago, then it really happened during the Age of Meteorites. It was now Year 7378 of the New Calendar, and the Age of Meteorites in the southern wizarding region usually referred to Year 2300 to Year 4100 of the New Calendar. That was when the wizarding world of the southern wizarding region was on the rise. It wasn't the most prosperous period of the southern wizarding region, but it still left a great mark in history, which was why it was called the Age of Meteorites.
Laplace waved a hand, and a second image appeared on the prism. This one wasn't shown before, but Laplace described it before.
It was the image of a wizard city rising in the Realm of Terror.
From the perspective of the image, it looked like a small puddle formed by rainwater.
The wizard city was far away from the image. It was at the end of the horizon, but they could clearly see many wizards flying in the sky toward the magnificent city.
Because of the Magi flying towards the city, the whole scene had an inexplicable sense of solemnity, as if they were on a pilgrimage.
Also, because of the low perspective, the "vastness" of the city was even more obvious.
This composition was amazing!
Different objects, different angles, and different images of the world were all different. This was the meaning of Omniscient.
If Mister Feng saw this, he would probably record it down.
Still, the image was beautiful, but there wasn't much to see from the information they gathered. The wizard city was too far away, and they couldn't see the specific emblem clearly. Otherwise, they would know which organization built the city.
When everyone finished looking at the image, Laplace spoke up, "This image is hundreds of years earlier than the previous one."
Hundreds of years earlier? This meant the image of the wizard city might even be from before the Age of Meteorites!
Angor began to understand what Dorcas was trying to say.
The timing wasn't right, and it was quite wrong.
They neglected one thing — the Moonfrost Union was only founded in 1600 years.
Most of the thirteen wizard organizations in the Moonfrost Union had existed since the Age of Meteoric Gold, or even before that, but the Moonfrost Union was still a very powerful organization.
However, they only joined forces and formed the union in 1600 years.
The information about the Panic Realm appeared sporadically in the sixth issue of Expedition into the Boundless Planes, which was a thousand years ago.
More importantly, the information about the Panic Realm was published by the Moonfrost Union under the theme of "expedition".
In other words, the Moonfrost Union believed that the Panic Realm was an unexplored world, and they were the first to discover it, so they needed to go on an "expedition".
But in fact, according to the examples listed by Laplace, there were already traces of Magi appearing in the Panic World even earlier. The reason why the Panic Realm became the "expedition" of the Moonfrost Union was probably because of the "intergenerational gap".
After the teleportation to the origin world was cut off, the southern wizarding region had a large blank history. That period of history was whitewashed, and in the end, it became a lost era.
Perhaps it was that lost era that completely submerged the Panic Realm, which was already on the edge of the world, in the tide of history.
In the end, the Moonfrost Union brought the Panic Realm back to the public's attention.
However, something must have changed in the Panic Realm at this time.
As for what kind of change, no one knew yet.
"So the image on the mirror is real, and the information given by the Moonfrost Union might not be fake," Dorcas mumbled. "Then what is the truth?"
"We'll find out the truth when we ask."
Dorcas was surprised. Didn't Laplace say that he didn't know?
Angor didn't know what to say when he saw Dorcas' confused look. Maybe he was stupid, but he could always find new ideas when they were confused. Maybe he was smart, but as soon as he opened up a new idea, he would block it again.
Dorcas was a typical "flash of inspiration" wizard. Well, there really was only a flash of inspiration.
"Mister, you mean we should ask the old wizards who have lived for a long time?" Wai rolled his eyes at Dorcas and looked at Angor with an eager look.
Angor nodded. "Wai is right. The memory on the mirror is from the Age of Meteorites. Then, the supernatural beings who lived through the Age of Meteorites should know something. "
As for the "old monsters" who lived from the Age of Meteorites, the closest one to them was —
The Wise Ones.
This was the first thing that came to everyone's mind after hearing Angor's explanation.
However, Angor was thinking about other people.
The three ancestor souls of Brute Cavern all lived for more than ten thousand years. The Elder of Books must know something about them, but he was nowhere to be seen. Since Lady Mirror was in hibernation, Angor could only ask Tree Spirit.
Apart from Tree Spirit, he could also ask Sisya.
However, Angor was more interested in asking the Watcher.
The Watcher came from an origin world and was a well-informed legendary wizard. He must know something.
However, the Watcher never entered the dream wasteland. Angor wondered if the Watcher was busy dealing with the aftermath of the battle at Devil's Water or something else.
…
Everyone was curious about the truth of the Panic Realm, but Laplace had already told them everything he knew, so they had to stop here for now.
"So, according to what you said, Elmi — I mean, the demon in my shadow — is trying to awaken again?"
"Awaken again? How can I awaken again? "
"You'll have to ask him yourself," Laplace said.
Ask Elmi? Angor frowned.
Did Laplace mean that Elmi had already regained his self-awareness?
Angor did feel that Elmi's behavior was a bit strange, but he didn't think that Elmi had regained his consciousness because the Distorted Seed was still working.
Besides, even if Elmi did regain his consciousness, the Distorted Seed wouldn't allow him to do so. He was probably even crazier and more bloodthirsty than the awakened demon.
Laplace noticed Angor's concern and explained, "What I saw was the reflection of his mind. It's not necessarily subjective. It could be his subconscious screaming.
"According to the reflection in his mind, he longed for a second awakening, and he's already on the verge of it. As for how to awaken, what I saw in his mind … is what I just said. "
Only in the chaotic flames of darkness could one see a tiny chance of rebirth.
