Chapter 915: The Secret
Chapter 902 The Secret
When Sol heard Frim’s words, he subconsciously glanced at Byron and saw a hint of confusion in Byron’s eyes.
If Saul had realized several times from Camus’ words that the Black Tide’s impact on the Wizard World was indeed terrifying, and that the Wizard World would probably be destroyed in the Black Tide, Byron’s knowledge of the Black Tide was confined to the Land of the Undiscovered and the Chaotic Domain.
Today, a fourth-ranked sorcerer at the top level of the world suddenly said that this world had faltered, naturally causing Byron’s past cognition to suffer a huge shock.
So even though it was what Frim said, Byron’s first reaction was not to believe it, but to be bewildered.
He looked at Saul as if to say, “Why would Flim say that?”.
But Saul had no way to explain it to Flim for the moment, because he couldn’t explain how he knew.
So Saul looked at Byron and immediately followed Byron’s expression, the first reaction was bewilderment, and the second reaction was solemnity with a bit of fear.
“Actually, my first reaction was to say, how could I, a third-order wizard, possibly help with all that, but your last sentence really baffles me. How is it that our world is already on shaky ground? Despite the threat of the Black Tide, how is it shaky when there is the Wall of Sighs in the north, the Red Sea Woods in the southwest, and the assistance of the continent of Ethkiper in the center?”
Actually, what Saul wanted to say more was, how is it shaky to the point that he, a third-ranked sorcerer, is needed to help?
“You should know about the Eye of the Abyss.”
Byron was listening to the confusion now, but surely Frim wouldn’t give him, a second-order wizard, a second-order wizard, the time of day. He wanted to ask the half-elf that grew inside his head, but this half-elf didn’t even respond to his call at the critical moment!
It was really useless!
Without waiting for Sol to answer, Flim took the initiative to explain, “Because the black tide of the eye of the wind comes from the eye of the abyss that goes deep underground.”
“The current state of the Eye of the Abyss is like an ordinary person who has fallen into sleep, or us who have entered a state of deep meditation. And the black tide is actually equivalent to one breath of the Eye of the Abyss. It is the weakest activity of the Eye of the Abyss. But once the Eye of the Abyss wakes up, even if it just rolls over a little bit, it will bring disasters that are even more terrible than the Eye of the Abyss. Those disasters are enough to destroy this world. And now, because of certain people’s activities, certain things have developed, the Eye of the Abyss, is on the verge of awakening!”
Now Saul was somewhat eager to see the expression on Frim’s face, to see what kind of manifestation the other party had when he said those words.
Frim was unexpectedly good at talking today.
What if that depression, after passing through the center of the earth, crookedly ended up really aligned with the land of the Lordless, ready to penetrate through the land of the Lordless?
“Do you know why the Black Tide of the Land of No Man is more terrible than the Black Tide of the Red Sea?”
Thor was a bit better than Byron, but he likewise didn’t quite understand, “Lord of the Court of Frim, can you clarify what you mean by ‘because of certain people, certain things, the Eye of the Abyss is about to awaken’?”
As unbelievable as it was, outside the realm of wizard knowledge that Saul could not comprehend, the Eye of the Abyss had really done it.
Sol acquiesced.
“Since I called you here today to tell you that the Eye of the Abyss is about to awaken, I will naturally tell you.”
Frim had seen the wizard’s planet and the Eye of the Abyss on the backside of the planet in the former elf’s vision, and understood that the Eye of the Abyss was recessed into the interior of the planet.
Frim’s voice continued, “After the Eye of the Storm erupts, we will find the anchor point inside. After much research, it has been confirmed that the anchor point is the skeleton of a special creature, and only a small fragment of the skeleton.”
Frim’s words matched up again with the information Sol had learned. Those huge skeletons beyond the chaotic domain were really anchor points.
If there were also so many, such large anchor point skeletons in the Eye of the Abyss, then once the Eye of the Abyss erupted did that mean that all the anchor points inside would enter the Wizard World? A bit of debris could cause a third-ranked sorcerer to alienate and die almost defenselessly.
So many anchor points descending?
No, I shouldn’t say that those skeletons were called anchor points, but rather the fragments of those skeletons entering the Wizard World were called anchor points.
Anchor points, the things that locate.
Those terrifying grayish-white skeletons should be locating the path to the wizard world through the fragments.
Therefore, the number of times the eye of the wind in the Land of the Masterless erupted exceeded an upper limit, and there were too many anchor points entering the Sorcerer’s World, so perhaps it really did show a pathway for the Eye of the Abyss to completely awaken! Allowing the horrendous giant skeleton within it to descend into the Wizard World!
A feeling of despair and powerlessness rose in the bottom of Saul’s heart, and icy coldness was drilling its way out against every pore of his skin, as if that would make his fear a little less.
Just then, a hand tugged at Saul’s sleeve, the wiggle of a muscle tugging at a nerve, creating a slight warmth that turned Saul back for a moment.
Saul’s confused eyes saw Byron behind him, and for a moment the other man’s face seemed to take on the appearance of a half-elf.
Saul’s brain seemed to be hit by something, slightly dizzy but recovered, no longer desperate and fearful like just now.
Frim’s voice suddenly stopped.
Saul closed his eyes and shook his neck, then opened his eyes again and the fear in his eyes disappeared.
“Court Master Frim, I already understand the seriousness of the matter, but you still haven’t said what do you mean by some people, some things?” When the words came to this point, Sol no longer hid them, he directly opened his mouth to remind Frim, “What you are referring to, wouldn’t be my mentor Golza, would it?”
Frim’s laughter rang out, “It seems you’ve already thought of it. The real purpose of your trip to the Kemah Duchy is to help your mentor, not that little girl named Keri, right?”
“Have you already sensed something?”
Although the other party was a question, regardless of whether Sol admitted it or not, Flim had already decided that Sol had discovered part of the truth.
Perhaps Golza had told him, perhaps he had learned the secret from somewhere else, but it didn’t matter to Frim now.
“It is better that you have perceived it. Golza, and a group of people the Judgment Court once executed, are uncontrolled factors that can affect the slumber of the Eye of the Abyss. This, I knew at a very early stage. Unfortunately, at that time, Norton of Glow had not yet shown signs of decay, and I had to use others to get rid of Golza …… At that time, it was you who saved him, wasn’t it?”
Flim thought of the last time the Black Tide came, he used the cover of the Black Flame Emperor to try to travel to the Far North, but in the end, he was unable to do so.
If he wasn’t sure that Saul didn’t have the ability to control mermaids, he would have suspected that the last time was also Saul helping Golza behind the scenes, deliberately messing things up so that he had to come back halfway.
Sol couldn’t take credit at this time, “I’m just standing on my mentor’s side, doing my best, but in fact, with or without me, nothing will happen to my mentor.”
“Yeah, I didn’t think about it either, he wasn’t on the verge of alienation at that time, but he was delayed in promoting, and suppressed too hard.”
“Yeah,” Thor thought to himself, “people do have more distorted expressions when they can’t hold it in.”
