At this moment, Laplace gently waved their hand, and a second scene appeared on the prism, this scene hadn’t appeared before, but Laplace had described it.
It was the scene of "Wizard city rising in the Panic Realm."
From the perspective of the image, it seems to be a puddle formed by rainwater, reflecting the scene.
The Wizard city is far from the image, at the end of the horizon, but it is clear to see that many Wizards are flying in the sky, heading towards that magnificent city.
Because of the Wizards flying towards the city, the entire scene inexplicably has a sense of solemn pilgrimage.
Moreover, due to the low angle, this "immense" feeling is further accentuated.
This composition is simply exquisite!
Different things, different angles, the world pictures seen are different, this is the meaning of the grand universe.
If Mr. Feng saw this image, he would probably not resist recording it...
However, while the image is certainly beautiful, it doesn’t have much emphasis from an intelligence perspective. The Wizard city is too far away, and the specific emblem cannot be seen clearly, otherwise, we could determine which Witcher Organization built the city.
After everyone finished viewing the image, Laplace spoke: "This image is older by a few hundred years compared to previous ones."
Older by a few hundred years? This means, the image where the Wizard city appears might even be before the Era of Falling Gold!
With all these pieces of information, Angel somewhat understood Dox’s meaning.
The timing is wrong, and very wrong indeed.
They previously overlooked the issue of the Frostmoon Alliance’s founding time, which has only been 1600 years to date.
Although among the thirteen Witcher Organizations within the Frostmoon Alliance, most have experienced the Era of Falling Gold, and existed even longer ago.
Yet, the time when they united to form the alliance was merely 1600 years ago.
Regarding the intelligence about Panic Realm, it started to appear sporadically from the sixth issue of the "Infinite Plane Pioneering Record," which was a thousand years ago.
The most important point is, the information about Panic Realm, was released by the Frostmoon Alliance with the theme of "Conquest."
In other words, the Frostmoon Alliance considered the Panic Realm to be an untouched world they were the first to discover, hence it needed "Conquest."
But in reality, according to Laplace’s examples, the Panic Realm already had traces of Wizard presence long before. The reason why Panic Realm later became the "Conquest" credit of Frostmoon Alliance was most likely due to "disconnect."
After the disconnection with the Origin World, there was a large blank history in the Southern Domain Wizard World, that period of history is open to interpretation and eventually turned into a lost era.
Perhaps it was that lost era that completely submerged the Panic Realm, which was already on the fringes, in the tide of history.
Ultimately, it was the Frostmoon Alliance that brought the Panic Realm back into public view.
However, by this time, the Panic Realm likely had undergone some changes.
As for what changes, it’s currently unknown.
"That being said, the image depicted on the mirror is true, and the intelligence given by the Frostmoon Alliance might not necessarily be false." Dox murmured in a low voice, "So what could the truth be?"
Angel: "What the truth is, go ask and you’ll know."
Dox was taken aback; hadn’t Laplace said he didn’t know?
Looking at Dox’s confused expression, Angel was at a loss for words. To call him foolish, he can bring a new perspective when everyone is perplexed; to call him smart, he blocks the new perspective just as it’s expanded.
A typical flash-of-inspiration-type Wizard... er, truly just a "flash."
"The lord means to ask those old Wizards who have lived for a long time!" Vay glanced at Dox irritably, then looked at Angel with a face eager for approval.
Angel nodded: "Vay is right. Since the memory on the mirror is from the Era of Falling Gold. Then, the Transcendent beings who have lived through the Era of Falling Gold should know something."
And the closest "old monsters" who have survived from the Era of Falling Gold to the group currently are—
The Wise Sovereign.
This was the first thought that came to everyone’s mind after hearing Angel’s explanation.
However, the figures floating in Angel’s mind were different.
The three Ancestral Spirits of the Barbarian Cave, all of whom have lived for ten thousand years. The Book Elder definitely knows, but he is never seen around. Lady Mirror is in slumber, so who he can ask is the Tree Spirit.
Besides the Tree Spirit, Cicia could also be questioned.
However, what Angel hopes for most is to inquire... the Observer.
The Observer himself comes from the Origin World and is a well-informed Legendary Wizard. He must know some inside information.
But the Observer has never entered the Wilderness of Dreams; it is unknown if he is dealing with the aftermath of Devil’s Sea or if other matters have delayed him.
...
Although everyone was curious about the truth of the Panic Realm, Laplace had already shared all he knew, so they could only temporarily stop here.
Angel: "According to your words of wisdom, Earl Mi... hmm, the Demon in my shadow, is attempting to awaken again?"
"He can awaken again? How can he awaken again?"
Laplace: "You must ask him yourself."
Ask Earl Mi? Angel couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Laplace’s meaning is that Earl Mi has begun to develop self-awareness?
Even though Angel sometimes feels that Earl Mi’s behavior is a bit strange, he hasn’t suspected that he has regained consciousness, because the Seed of Distortion is still functioning normally.
Moreover, even if he has truly regained consciousness, with the Seed of Distortion there, can he restore a clear mind? Wouldn’t he be even more crazily bloodthirsty than when the awakened Demon?
Perhaps noticing Angel’s doubts, Laplace said: "What I saw was the reflection of his heart, this reflection is not necessarily a subjective consciousness, it could also be a cry from the subconscious."
"According to his own heart reflection, he longs for a second awakening and is already close to the brink of a second awakening. And how to awaken, what I saw in the Reflection of the Heart is... the sentence I just said."
—Only in the chaotic ashes, there may be a faint opportunity for rebirth.
