"Countless choices lead to countless paths. There were countless paths, but there would always be one that led to the truth. Am I here to eliminate the wrong path for you, or steal the right one from you? That's a multiple-choice question, young man. "
The figure standing on the other side of the river of time looked at Sunders with a smile.
Sunders abruptly opened his eyes when he saw Sunders looking at him.
In front of him was a charred land. The dilapidated walls and ruins were enough to show how prosperous this area used to be. This was the hinterland of Abyss Plane, an outpost city built by humans to resist the invasion of Abyss Plane.
Unfortunately, the city was attacked by demons thousands of years ago. The city was turned into ruins, and the humans were reduced to skeletons.
"What's wrong, Sunders?" An old man with white eyebrows walked out of a magic hut. Sunders was stunned for a moment.
"It's nothing. I just had a dream," said Sunders.
"Kanter, we haven't entered the Abyss Plane yet. You still have a chance to leave. The Gravity Forest people have left. You don't need to stay here."
The old man with white eyebrows was Sunders' old friend and the current leader of Lilith's Clan. People called him "Eventide Kanter".
Kanter shook his head. "The Gravity Forest wizards can't stop you. Song of the Deep is the real problem. If Maya sent me a message, she must have foreseen something dangerous. But why hasn't Song of the Deep shown up yet? "
"Something must be holding them back." Sunders sighed. "Mister Monkey wanted to invite you. Now that you're involved in this mess, it'll be hard for you to get away."
Sunders was trying to comfort Kanter, but his eyes were filled with gratitude. He didn't expect Kanter to help him. He wasn't afraid of Song of the Deep, but that didn't mean he could beat them all by himself. With Kanter's help, he could relax a lot.
"It's fine. Keely is growing up. She's enough to take care of Lilith's Clan." At this point, Kanter's eyes were filled with nostalgia. "I'm a bachelor now, and I have nothing to worry about. Even if I agree to Sir Monchi's request, it doesn't matter. If Sir Monchi succeeds in becoming a Legend, I'll be able to find my future path … "
"Still, Mister Monkey, you're quite brave. You even dared to target the descendant of a demon god. If he really enters the legendary realm because of this, it's hard to say whether he can escape from the hands of the Devil God. "
Kanter also understood this. Whether Monchi succeeded or failed, he would definitely incur the wrath of the Demon God. At that time, all of them who were involved would be in danger.
"But there's nothing we can do about it. We're stuck in a quagmire. It's hard to get out!" Kanter sighed. Both of them fell into silence.
After a while, Kanter said, "Let's not talk about this. You said you had a dream? I remembered Maya once said that a wizard's dream had some sort of premonition. Looking at how absent-minded you were earlier, you couldn't have dreamt of the Demon God Calamity, right? "
Sunders pondered for a moment and shook his head. "The Great Demon Calamity is inevitable. Mister Monkey's stubbornness will only bring disaster to the south."
"So you didn't dream of the Demon God Calamity? Then what did you dream of? "Kanter narrowed his eyes." Don't tell me it's about your little student? "
"You mean Angor? Why do you think so? "
"I heard about him on my way here. He's famous these days. He sold a music box for a whopping 200,000 magic crystals. Now, he's really famous! Keely is very motivated because of this. She doesn't want to lose to him. " Kanter was puzzled. "I'm curious too. What kind of music box could fetch such a high price?"
Sunders grinned. "The music box he used for the auction is already the most basic one. You haven't seen his real strength yet."
"His true power?" Kanter was surprised.
Sunders thought about the music boxes that were fused with Mystery objects and sighed. "The entire wizarding world will be shocked if he shows his true power."
Kanter didn't know what to say for a long time.
Sunders suddenly took out a blue diamond-shaped object from his ear stud and handed it to Kanter. "You're curious about the music box in the auction, right? It's called Monument Loop. It's similar to the alchemy illusion he sold at Old Ruin. Since you're an old friend, I'll lend it to you for a few days. "
Kanter took the object and studied it. "Well made. It's starting to look like a master's work."
Kanter put away the Monument Loop and asked again, "You haven't told me what you dreamed of yet. Was it Angor? "
Sunders shook his head. "No. I dreamed of … the Time Thief."
"The Time Thief?!" Kanter gasped. "He's here again? What choice did he steal from you? The past, the present, or the future? "
Sunders shook his head again. "My past choice. So be it. He doesn't care about my current choices. As for my future choices, it's not time for him to take them yet. "
"You're right. The Time Thief wants to steal the choices that can lead you to the truth," Kanter said. Kanter also reacted. "After marking you, no matter how bad it is, it will have to wait until you become a Legend before the Time Thief will patronize you."
Sunders told Kanter about his dream.
It happened when he met the Time Thief by accident when he was a young man. Kanter had heard it countless times, but every time he heard it, he felt envious.
"You sound regretful, don't you?" Sunders grumbled.
"Of course I am. I've never met the Time Thief before."
There was a legend in the wizarding world that said everyone who met the Time Thief was a seed of potential. The Time Thief's visit and mark meant that you could reach the truth in the future. From another perspective, it also proves that your talent is not ordinary.
Also, the Time Thief said that he wanted to steal choices. But in fact, he gave the choice to the marked person.
The Time Thief only stole the choices you gave up. As for whether the choices you gave up had the right path, it was up to you to make the right choice.
More importantly, once the Time Thief stole your choices, he would compensate you accordingly regardless of whether they were correct or not. It was similar to the equivalent exchange between wizards. It was a forced trade, but you still had the initiative.
"The path to the truth is also relative. One path is for me, and the other one is for you. Each path can lead you to the other side. That's why I don't believe that I'm destined to reach the truth in the future. "Sunders didn't care at all.
"You think everyone has a chance to reach the truth? That's just a theory. But don't forget, in the process of life's growth, every choice will affect the outcome of the future. Maybe some people have already thrown the truth to the corner when they first made the choice. "Kanter said." Anyway, if the Time Thief came to visit me, I'd laugh my head off. Then, I'll ask him to quickly take the choices that I discarded in the past and exchange them for some benefits for me. "
Sunders shook his head with a smile. Kanter's words reminded him of the time when they were traveling together hundreds of years ago.
They were young and carefree, and they could become hot-blooded at any time. Unfortunately, they wasted their time and gave up many things, including some choices that they had to give up.
"Maya said that the dream of a wizard might be an omen," Kanter said. "Speaking of which, why did you dream of the Time Thief at this time of all times?" Kanter asked.
"Who knows? Maybe he has his eyes on some unlucky bastard again." Sunders stood up. "Let's go. I feel better after a good night's sleep. Let's cross the line today and enter the Abyss Plane. "
…
A certain unlucky bastard was hiding in a dark basement, staring at the cloak in his hand with wide eyes.
"What's going on?" Angor shook his head. "Did I see it wrong? Or is there something wrong with the 'server' of Narda's Vision? "
Angor closed his eyes and waited for a long time before opening them again. He restarted the "server" in his mind space, which was filled with Narda's Algorithm, and activated Narda's Vision.
In Angor's vision, countless data streams rose from the cloak.
90% of them were known data, while the remaining 10% were unknown. They were all gathered in the server and began to calculate.
Angor didn't care about the known data for now. The remaining 10% puzzled him. He took all possible consequences into consideration when crafting the cloak. Why was there still 10% unknown?
A moment later, Narda's Vision showed the cloak's effect.
Just like what he tested earlier, the effect of the cloak changed again.
First of all, the cloak was now at the peak of intermediate level, half a step away from reaching advanced. Next was its effect.
"Blank Poem": Shielding Aura. When activated, it can block the prying eyes of the three major divination schools.
Just like the Enchantment Encyclopedia said, Blank Poem's shielding effect was within Angor's expectations. It required energy to activate the Blank Poem.
In addition, due to the material used, the cloak also had some properties such as toughness, fire and water resistance, and self-cleansing. The effect of the cloak should have ended here. However, when the "server" checked the effect of the cloak, it showed a strange string of data.
[????] [Even the gaze of a legendary will not work in front of you. Being stared at will consume a large amount of energy. This was a one-time effect.
This extra effect meant that the cloak's aura could prevent him from being detected by legendary creatures.
It was a one-time effect, but it still had a powerful effect.
Angor was glad to see this unexpected effect, but he had no idea where it came from.
Did he activate a special effect of some kind of magic material? Many of the materials he used were tiered, but they shouldn't be able to block the gaze of a legendary being.
