Chapter 94: The Sage’s Warning
Sage Miletus realized that his way of thinking was not on the same wavelength as the elf’s—or rather, he couldn’t keep up with Illiya’s thoughts. He didn’t understand what necessary connection there was between these things. To them, invading someone else’s mental sea was a highly despised act—one could even say it was a provocation.
So why wasn’t this elf angry?
Of course, Illiya wasn’t angry.
Being knocked unconscious, he could understand. Having his mental sea invaded, he could barely accept. It wasn’t because he was some saint who could forgive everything, but simply because this wasn’t truly his mental sea. If this wasn’t his mental sea, then why should he be angry?
"This isn’t my mental realm at all," Illiya honestly stated the truth. "I guess this is a mirror world you created, a simulation of my mental realm."
Sage Miletus was genuinely surprised this time. This elf was truly clever. Just like those ’old fellows’ of the elven tribe had said, they hadn’t been boasting. He even half-considered recruiting him. But then, thinking of the combat power of those two elves, he shuddered and abandoned that frightening idea.
"How did you figure it out?" Sage Miletus was very curious. At his level, the scene he created should be almost impossible to detect as fake, but today there was an exception.
Illiya smiled mysteriously but did not answer the question.
He wasn’t going to reveal the truth. Even if he did, no one would believe him. His mental realm was different from others’; inside it was stored the Book of Elves. This book made his mental realm extremely sturdy, so under normal circumstances, it couldn’t be altered.
Sage Miletus’s mirror was indeed powerful. If his target today had been an ordinary person, the outcome would have been different. He himself had almost failed to tell the difference.
But he would never say that aloud.
