Chapter 425: Three Calamities, Pandora Matriarch, Civilization War! (2)
Sometimes, the mirage would be in the form of a ghost market that suddenly appeared on the sea. In the ghost market would be all kinds of strange things and beings.
Sometimes, it was a magnificent ancient temple with eerie statues that could not be looked at directly.
Sometimes, it might even be a lost civilized city, where one could seemingly see an unknown civilization with a different style from the wizard civilization.
In short, the mirages came in various strange forms that were incomprehensible.
Either way, wizards who accidentally entered a mirage rarely left alive. From the wizards who were lucky enough to leave, they learned that the spiritual force of a wizard would be suppressed by an extremely powerful and mysterious spiritual power in the mirage, causing the wizard’s spell-casting to be extremely sluggish, and the power of spells would be reduced by a level. In other words, even if one was a second-circle wizard, one would only have first-circle combat strength after entering the mirage.
Additionally, the probability of mirages appearing was very small, given the very few mirages in the history of the Star Tower, so wizard schools of thought rarely studied this phenomenon purposefully.
So far, the one who had the most in-depth research on mirages was actually a new small wizard school of thought: The School of Dreams.
They believed that mirages might be a projection of a supreme will beyond the understanding of wizards in the Endless Sea. It was a strange space between illusion and reality, between fact and falsehood.
This “supreme will” could be a civilization that was more powerful than the wizard civilization, or it could even be a “supreme existence” of a higher dimension that was more powerful than the Gods of the astral world. Perhaps, this existence had just taken a nap at home and had a dream, forming “mirages” in the Endless Sea.
