Chapter 609: Unreachable Knowledge
If the Tribunal controls the Neflet continent and the Stargate Council governs the Iskeper continent, then the State continent can be regarded as the abandoned child of the fourth-order.
Between the continents of State and Iskeper, there is an archipelago called the Skye Islands.
Although this archipelago is relatively close to Iskkaiper, it is not under the control of the Stargate Council.
Because the master of the Skye Islands is also a fourth-level wizard, and a very powerful fourth-level wizard.
She usually stays in the main island Sky City, but she can also appear in most liquids.
Including a person's bodily fluids.
Such a terrifying ability, just like the Lord of the Arbitration Court being able to appear anywhere where there is light, has made her vassal and subjects regard her as a legendary god-like being.
Now, this "god" sensed the call of her blood-related sister and appeared in a semi-abandoned cave under the cliff.
"Both the Stargate Council and the Tribunal violated their agreement and took action against the Borderlands. Ophelia, I hope you can still laugh when you hear this news."
"whee."
Pei'er: "..."
"Silly sister, you don't know what the anchor point of the abyss means to a fourth-level wizard. If the breakthrough of the boundary is unstoppable, then the protection of the no-man's land will immediately become a scramble for the anchor point."
Pei'er frowned. Even though she was already a third-level wizard, and had just tried to break through to the fourth level two years ago, she had no idea about some secret knowledge before she reached the fourth level.
Even if Ophelia said it directly to her, her brain would refuse to accept it and she would only hear these ambiguous descriptions.
"What exactly is an anchor point?"
"Even if I tell you again, you won't be able to remember it." Ophelia was still patient with her sister.
Pearl had no choice but to give up. "Okay, so the reason why the Tribunal and the Stargate Council asked us to find the eye of the storm is not to prevent the boundary from breaking through, but to get the anchor point as soon as the boundary breaks through?"
"You could say that."
"The anchor point is something that only a fourth-level wizard can get their hands on. So I just want to ask you, if the boundary is broken, what will happen to the no-man's land? What will happen to me?"
“I can’t predict the future, but I can tell you history.”
"history……"
"Do you know why the Borderlands is so dangerous yet has abundant resources?"
Pei'er had already thought of it. She bit her lip and narrowed her eyes little by little.
"Because you have been nurtured by the corpses of generations beneath your feet for years! Hehehehe..."
Pearl interrupted Ophelia's annoying laughter irritably, "What if I just leave the Borderlands?"
"You can't leave." Ophelia said softly, "Once you enter the Borderless Land, you will be marked. All those who have, are, and will enter the Borderless Land will become new nutrients for the Borderless Land after the boundary is broken."
When Ophelia mentions that her sister might die, her tone does not change at all, and it is clear that her concern for her sister does not include her life.
After hearing about her possible ending, Pearl felt relieved and was no longer so uneasy.
"Then why did you ask me to contact you? It can't be just to tell me the ending in advance, right?"
"Of course. Whether it's me or the other two major forces, the first choice is definitely not to let the anchor point break through the boundary. What I just said is actually the last choice to recover the losses when we are helpless."
The water flow below pushed up two lumps on the human skin, just like a person raising his hands.
"I want to make a deal with you. Before the boundary is broken, I will do my best to help you stop it, but after the boundary is broken, I want you to help me grab the anchor point as soon as possible!"
Pearl was silent, taking time to digest the meaning of Ophelia's words.
In fact, in other words, before the disaster breaks out, Ophelia will help Pearl prevent the disaster from breaking out. For this, she will definitely provide help to Pearl, such as restoring her strength and helping her resist the erosion of nightmares.
But if they ultimately fail to prevent the disaster from happening, Ophelia will immediately use Pearl to seize the source of the disaster - the anchor.
As for the result of exploitation, it is most likely death or alienation.
Anyway, once the limit is crossed, her ending will not be good, so she might as well accept Ophelia's proposal.
So now there is one last question.
"How can I be sure that you will prioritize preventing boundary breaches?"
Ophelia's voice became erratic. "Because even if any of us get the anchor, there is no guarantee... our worlds will be closer..."
There were some key words that Pearl didn't hear clearly at all.
Or maybe you forget it immediately after hearing it.
Pearl raised her head. Although she did not hear the key information, she felt the power of rules in Ophelia's words.
That was actually the strongest evidence that she was not lying.
"I understand. Do I need to sign a contract to make this deal with you?"
"Haha, no need. Since the deal is done, let me tell you something first."
"What?"
"Hehe, you are still in a nightmare now!"
“Huh!”
Pearl suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still lying on the stone platform in the secret room, and the consciousness left by Thor, An, was wearing Nerilla's body and staring at her.
"What are you doing?" For a moment, Pearl's tone was very stiff.
She wasn't sure yet whether she was dreaming or not.
An took two steps back and looked at Pei'er warily, "There was something wrong with you just now! Who are you?"
Pei'er ignored her, sat up and looked at her right hand.
Her right hand did not turn into a wide, thin piece of gauze.
Seeing that Pei'er ignored him, An was relieved. "I'm glad you're still alive, otherwise I would have gone back to report to my master."
Pei'er still ignored An, but suddenly stretched out her right hand and cut a wound on her left palm.
Red blood with a few silver strands flowed out under her control and soon formed a small pool of blood in the palm of her hand.
A woman's back vaguely appeared on the surface of the pool of blood.
The sound also came from inside.
"I blurred your dream, and Nightmare can't see the real scene just now."
Pearl's hands clenched and opened, and the blood and the wound disappeared.
"Even if you blurred my dream this time, I can no longer be sure which scenes were dreams and which were real."
She clenched her fists again, "If I have blurred reality and nightmare before, then has Clark discovered my and Thor's plan?"
Thinking of this, she felt a chill on her back, and felt that Clark, who had not responded to their plan at all, was terrifyingly deep.
She immediately turned to An and said, "Do you have a way to contact Saul quickly?"
An was startled. "Only communication."
"Write a letter? No, that's too slow. I'll go find him myself."
After saying that, Pei'er jumped down from the stone platform.
But An felt something was wrong. "Don't you often get pulled into dreams? Will you fall asleep halfway through?"
Pearl didn't give any detailed explanation, she just said hurriedly "Not now," and rushed out of the cave.
Ann just blinked and Pearl disappeared from her sight.
She raised her hand, but didn't know if she could call the other person to stop.
"I came to you to tell you... my subordinates reported that they seem to have found the eye of the storm..."
Unfortunately, only the air heard this sentence.
An was helpless. "Fortunately, I just wrote a letter to tell the master. If she also went to see the master, she should be able to receive the news together, right?"
