Chapter 609 Untouchable Knowledge
Chapter 609 – Untouchable Knowledge
If the Ruling Court controlled the Nephrite Continent and the Stargate Council managed the Ethkiper Continent, then the Stat Continent could be counted as an outcast of the congregation’s fourth order.
Between the Statt Continent and the Iskepper Continent, there was another archipelago called the Skye Islands.
Although this archipelago was relatively close to Iskeiper, it was not under the control of the Stargate Council.
This was because the owner of the Skye Islands was also a fourth-ranked sorcerer, and a rather powerful fourth-ranked sorcerer at that.
She usually only stayed on the main island, Sky City, but she could also appear in most liquids.
Including a person’s bodily fluids.
Such a terrifying ability is right up there with the fact that the Lord of the Court of Judgment can appear anywhere there is light, and has caused her vassals and lords to see her as a god-like being of legend.
Now, this “god” sensed the call of her blood sister and appeared in a half-abandoned cave at the bottom of the cliff.
“Both the Stargate Council and the Court of Judgment have violated their agreements and have struck out against the Land of the Unknowns. Ophelia, I hope you can still laugh when you hear this news.”
“Hee hee.”
Pelle: “……”
“Silly sister, you don’t know what the anchor point of the abyss means to a fourth-ranked sorcerer. If the boundary’s breakthrough has become unstoppable, then the protection of the land of the Lordless will immediately turn into a grab for the anchor point.”
Pei’er frowned, even though she was already a Third Order Sorcerer and had even just attempted to break through to the Fourth Order two years ago, without reaching the Fourth Order, some of the hidden knowledge just wasn’t clear at all.
Even if Ophelia said it directly to her, her brain would refuse to accept it and could only hear these ambiguous descriptions.
“What exactly is the anchor point ……?”
“You won’t be able to remember it even if I tell you again.” Ophelia was still patient with her sister.
Pei’er had to give up, “Okay, so the Ruling Court and the Stargate Council made us search for the eye of the wind, not actually to stop the boundary breakthrough, but to get the anchor point at the first sign of the boundary breakthrough?”
“You could say that.”
“Anchor points are something that only fourth-order wizards can get their hands on, so let me just ask you, what happens to the Land of the Masterless when the boundary breaks through? What will happen to me ……?”
“I can’t predict the future, but I can tell you history.”
“History ……”
“Do you know why the No Man’s Land is so dangerous yet rich in resources?”
Pelle had already thought of that, and she bit her lip, her eyes narrowing a little.
“It’s because of the corpses under your feet that have been sustained for years and years by the generations of corpses under your feet! Heh heh heh heh ……”
Pelle annoyingly interrupted Ophelia’s annoying laughter, “What if I just leave the Land of the Unknown?”
“You can’t leave.” Ophelia said softly, “When you enter the Land of No Man, you are marked. All those who have ever, are now, or will ever step into the Land of the Masterless will become the new sustenance of the Land of the Masterless after the boundaries are breached.”
There was no change in Ophelia’s tone even when she mentioned the possibility of her sister’s death, and it was clear that her concern for her sister did not include her sister’s life.
Hearing about her possible end, Pei’er instead felt like a stone had fallen to the ground and was no longer so uneasy.
“So what did you ask me to contact you for? It can’t just be to inform me of my end in advance, can it?”
“Of course. Whether it’s me, or the other two major powers, the first choice is certainly not to allow the anchor point to break through the boundaries. What I just said is actually the last option to undo the damage out of desperation.”
The human skin was lifted up two more bags by the current below, like a man lifting his hands.
“I’m going to make a deal with you. Before the boundary breakthrough, I’ll do my best to help you stop it, but after the boundary breakthrough, I want you to grab the anchor point for me at the first opportunity!”
Pelle was silent, taking time to digest the meaning in Ophelia’s words.
In fact, in other words, before the catastrophe broke out, Ophelia would help Pei’er stop it, and for that reason, she would definitely provide Pei’er with help, such as restoring her strength and helping her resist the nightmare’s erosion.
However, if they ultimately failed to stop the outbreak of the disaster as well, then Ophelia would be the first to utilize Pei’er to grab the source that brought about the disaster – the anchor point.
As for the result of utilizing it, there was also a high probability that it would be death or alienation.
Anyway, once the boundaries were breached, she wouldn’t end up well, so it would be better to accept Ophelia’s offer.
So now there was one last question.
“How can I be sure that you will definitely prioritize stopping the boundary breakthrough?” Ophelia’s voice became wavering, “Because even if any of us get the anchor point there’s no guarantee that …… instead our world will be closer as a result ……”
There were some key words Pelle missed completely.
Or maybe she heard them and immediately forgot them.
Pelle raised her head, and while she didn’t hear the key information, she instead felt the power of the rules that came with Ophelia’s words as a result.
That was instead the strongest evidence that she wasn’t lying.
“I see. Then do I need to sign a contract to make this deal with you?”
“Heh heh, no need. Since the deal is struck, I’ll tell you one thing first.”
“What?”
“Heh heh heh, you’re …… still in a nightmare right now Oh!”
“Ho!”
Pelle’s eyes snapped open, realizing that she was still lying on the stone platform of the chamber, and the conscious body Anne left behind by Saul was wearing Nerella’s body and staring straight at her.
“What are you doing?” For a moment, Pelle’s tone was very raw.
She wasn’t sure if she was in a dream right now.
Ann took two steps back and looked at Pelle warily as well, “You were very off just now! Who are you?”
Pelle didn’t even pay attention to her, sitting up and looking at her right hand.
Her right hand hadn’t turned into a wide, thin gauze.
Seeing that Pei’er was ignoring her, An was relieved instead, “It’s good that you’re still alive, or else I’d have to go back to my master to report to him.”
Pei’er still ignored An, only to suddenly stretch out her right hand to make a wound in her left palm.
Blood with a few strands of silver in its red color flowed out under her control, quickly coalescing into a small pool of blood in her palm.
A woman’s back loomed on the surface of the pool of blood.
Voices also came out from within.
“I blurred your dream, the nightmare couldn’t see what was really inside just now.”
Pelle’s hand gripped one, and the blood, along with the wound, all disappeared.
“Even if you blurred my dreams this time, but, but I can no longer determine which scenes were dreams and which were real before.”
She clenched her fists again, “If I’ve blurred the real and the nightmare before, then hasn’t Clark already found out about my plan with Saul?”
A chill ran down her back at the thought, and she could only think that Clark, who hadn’t given the slightest reaction to their machinations, was frighteningly deep.
She immediately turned to Ann and said, “Do you have a way to get in touch with Saul quickly?”
Ann was stunned, “Only communications.”
“Correspondence? No, it’s too slow. I’ll go to him myself.”
After saying that, Pei’er jumped down from the stone platform.
Anne, however, didn’t feel right, “Don’t you often get pulled into dreams? Will you fall asleep halfway?”
Pei’er didn’t explain specifically, and only hurriedly said, “Not now.” And rushed out of the cave.
Ann just blinked and Pelle disappeared from sight.
She raised her hand, but didn’t know if she could call out to the other woman.
“I came to find you actually want to tell you …… that the men reported that it is suspected …… that they have found the eye of the wind ……”
Unfortunately, this sentence was only heard by the air.
Anne was helpless, “Luckily I just wrote to tell my master. If she goes to the master as well, she should be able to receive this news together, right?”
