You have a special talent.
Angor chuckled bitterly. Talent again. But until now, he still didn't know what his talent was. He asked his teacher, but the teacher refused to tell him. He said he would only tell him on the day he became an apprentice.
But to become an apprentice, he needed a channeling method! He still didn't know which path he should choose.
Sigh … Angor felt that his future was going to be bleak if things continued like this. He did not know whether his talent was good or bad. What could he gain from it? What could he gain from it? What could he gain from it?
Angor lay on his bed for a long time. He turned around and looked at the empty room. He sighed deeply.
Now that he thought about it carefully, it was not hard to figure out the answer from Sunders' words.
Sunders gave him three choices. Could he choose the first two? Or rather, did he dare to choose the first two?
Sunders clearly mentioned "your talent is special", "my spell has something to do with the Nightmare Realm", and "you need to choose carefully". Wasn't that trying to tell him something?
Maybe Sunders really did give him three choices. Angor was sure that Sunders wanted him to choose the last one.
Angor did not know what Sunders would do if he did not choose this one.
Disappointed? Give up on him? As if he did not exist? Maybe this was the best case scenario.
Or he could just let the Nightmare Realm destroy itself. Or he could even force it to use force.
So, if he did not want to offend Sunders, he had to choose the third one.
Nightmare Realm … Nightmare Realm! Angor sighed and decided not to think about it. He would go to Sunders' library tomorrow and look for more information about the Nightmare Realm.
For now, he should sleep.
…
The night passed in silence.
Angor sat on the slide in Sunders' library. There were several books about general planes scattered on the shelves beside him.
From "History of Otherworld Development" and "Pros and Cons of Planar Conquest" written by the Great Warlock of Distortion Bazzel a thousand years ago, to "Strange World" and "Space Travel Reverse" written by the Great Warlock of Occult Space, Fein Werder, who had risen to prominence in the past hundred years. In addition, there were more than ten volumes of "Expedition into the Boundless Plane" published by the Moon Frost Alliance.
Most of the books written by Barzel the Great Twisted Wizard were reflections on planar journeys. Angor read them one by one and saw many interesting planes. For example, the Burning Plane was filled with lava. This plane was as vast as the World of Adepts. There was an intelligent lifeform that was covered in purple crystals. The crystals were connected by threads that resembled glass fibers.
"That's a silicon-based lifeform …" Angor thought to himself.
Other than the Burning Dimension, Bazeer also recorded the Annihilation Dimension, which had gaseous lifeforms, the Abyssal Dimension, which was filled with all kinds of magical creatures, the maze-like Whirlpool Dimension, and the Soundless Dimension, where sound could not travel … All kinds of strange dimensions were eye-opening.
Angor's elder brother, Leon, always told him that Angor's biggest wish was to see the world, which was a big place. He wanted to see different places, different cultures, and different cultures. If Leon were here, he might have immediately decided to go to the various major planes to have a good time.
Unfortunately, he was Angor, not Leon. However, he hoped that one day, he would be able to bring Leon and Mentor Jon around to have a look.
That day would come.
Angor read Bazeer's book, but he did not see any mention of the "Nightmare Realm". Was the Nightmare Realm not discovered a thousand years ago?
That was not right. According to the historical records of the wizarding world, planar expeditions began tens of thousands of years ago. In less than ten thousand years, all the general planes around the wizarding world were left with great traces by the great wizard armies.
Then why was the Nightmare Realm not discovered? Was it really far away from the wizarding world?
Angor picked up the Expedition to the Infinite Planes published by Moonfrost Union.
It was a periodical that was published once every hundred years. There were 16 issues published so far, which coincided with the establishment of Moonfrost Union. 1600 years ago, Moonfrost Union was established in the Everfrost Tundra of the Northland Kingdom. It had 13 wizard organizations under its command, which served as the main force for planar expeditions in the south. Every hundred years, they would publish all kinds of information about planar expeditions to the public.
Angor started reading from the first issue.
He went through them one by one according to the table of contents. Until the 14th issue, which was published two hundred years ago, the Expedition to the Infinite Planes officially included the Nightmare Realm.
Angor also noticed that there were only two pages about the Nightmare Realm in the book. Among the thousands of pages of thick publications, there were only two thin pages! This completely violated the honor of Moonfrost Union, which was based on planar expeditions. Every other plane, regardless of whether the expedition was successful or not, would be filled with all kinds of trivial details. Even a small battle between a few people would feel like a "war between two countries".
Angor went straight to the two pages about the Nightmare Realm.
Soon, he finished reading them.
Angor's expression became even more strange after reading it.
According to the book, the Nightmare Realm was a very unstable plane. So far, there was no stable passage that led directly to the Nightmare Realm. Currently, the only way to enter the Nightmare Realm was through the random space holes that opened up when the Nightmare Realm approached the Nightmare Realm periodically.
Unstable plane, random passage, and accidental entry. These three words directly marked the location of the Nightmare Realm.
The mark of "Uncertain".
Apart from the uncertainty of the passage, the Nightmare Realm was also an extremely dangerous plane. According to the book, due to the random nature of the passage, there were less than ten wizards who entered the Nightmare Realm and returned in one piece. This showed how terrifying the Nightmare Realm was.
Even more puzzling was that the people who returned from the Nightmare Realm never talked about it. Even if they did, they did it in a very vague way. It was obvious that they were afraid of the Nightmare Realm. At the same time, they were also greedy for the Nightmare Realm. Every time they heard about the existence of a passage to the Nightmare Realm, they would swarm to it like a swarm.
Such behavior only made the rumors about the Nightmare Realm even more unimaginable. What was there in the Nightmare Realm that both scared them and made them want to go there?
Of course, the information was from 200 years ago. Angor did not know if it had changed since then.
Next, Angor read the book written by Grand Wizard Fein Werder. Compared to other "academic" writers, Fein Werder was more like an elegant bard.
The books he wrote were not so much popular science, but rather travel notes or ghost stories.
For example, Strange Worlds was a book about Fein Werder's travels. From the Elven World filled with tall, leafy plants, to the colorful ocean paradise. If Fein Werder was not an authoritative figure, Angor would have thought it was a fairy tale.
Fein Werder's choice of words was also quite artistic. There was no murderous aura. His noble choice of words was admirable, and at the same time, admirable.
It didn't take long for him to finish reading Fein Werder's book.
Fein Werder's book did not mention anything about the Nightmare Realm. However, he mentioned many times that he wanted to visit the Nightmare Realm. His comment about the Nightmare Realm was simple:
"Projecting reality, shining into illusion, and creating reality."
