"Why?" Ash was a little surprised: "Isn't your instructor a three-winged sanctuary magician? How could she not know about the Time Continent?"

“There are two reasons for this.”

Sonia raised her index finger and said, "First, compared to the information in the Sea of ​​Knowledge, there are only one-tenth of the books introducing the Continent of Time. This is not only because the number of two-wing magicians is far less than that of one-wing magicians, but more importantly, compared to the Void Realm, magicians pay more attention to the faction realm, and are more willing to create silver and golden tomes on how to improve the faction realm."

"For example, in the library, there are thirty rows of books on swordsmanship, covering different areas such as summoning, fighting, and production of different spirits. In contrast, there are only two rows of books describing the Sea of ​​Knowledge, and there are only a few dozen books on the Continent of Time."

"There are so few magicians like us who can gain something in the virtual world every night. We are so few that we are special cases. For ordinary magicians, the virtual world is just a place for them to absorb magic power and cultivate combat skills. They don't expect to gain anything extra in the virtual world, but will obtain more magic spirits by upgrading the faction realm and trading platforms, so as to build a magic spirit system that suits them."

"Once the faction's realm is promoted to a higher level, they will climb to the next virtual realm and repeat the same operation. If magicians were not forced to explore and walk in each virtual realm, I believe many magicians would be happy to stay where they are and absorb magic power in peace and quiet every night."

"Second, my advisor is a genius." Sonia raised her middle finger. "It only took her four years to leave the Time Continent and reach the Faraway Space. She has lived in the academy for four years, and she still forgets where her office is from time to time, let alone the Time Continent."

Ash sighed. He understood that this was the gap between academic magicians and adventurous magicians.

Just like people who have enough food to eat will not rebel, and the number of people who deposit money regularly far exceeds the number of people who speculate in funds, so naturally, magicians will vote with their feet and find their own comfort zone.

In fact, it is easy to understand. Instead of pinning their hopes on the virtual realm, magicians would rather invest in themselves, at least they are controllable. For academic magicians, although hard work and talent are indispensable for improving the realm of faction, the advancement path is stable enough, and as long as the realm of faction can be improved, there is no bottleneck. After all, the efficiency of absorbing magic power in the virtual realm is the same for fools and geniuses.

In comparison, no matter how well one performs in the virtual realm, if one does not break through the realm of faction, one will still remain stagnant.

If the virtual realm is the fulcrum and the faction realm is the lever, then the academic school will constantly strengthen and extend its lever, so as to leverage more power from the virtual realm; while the adventurous school like Ash will look for a more suitable and easier fulcrum, prying here and there, and what matters is the wonderful fate.

Whether from the individual, organizational or social level, the academic school is superior to the adventurous school in all aspects. The only disadvantage of the prosperity of the academic school is that it will overemphasize the importance of the faction realm and ignore the potential value of the virtual realm.

After all, they are so busy just improving their faction's realm that they have no spare energy to explore the secrets of the virtual realm, and naturally they will not organize the relevant information.

Of course, this does not mean that the two schools are incompatible. For example, Sword Princess is now taking into account both the academic school and the adventure school, and her progress is very fast. But for the developing magician civilization, they can only focus on the knowledge system of the academic school, and it is difficult to light up the technology tree of the adventure school.

They probably can't rely on the academy of Jian Ji anymore, so they can only rely on themselves to discover the treasures of the Continent of Time.

"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered..."

"What fairy tales can you think of that are more exciting than adult stories?"

"No." Diya shook her head and told him what she found in the sawmill - logically, the wood that was not consumed continuously would fill the entire nest, but the amount of wood in the factory was not much.

Ash said thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, if all the common materials had been piled up in the resource points we searched earlier, they should have been full a long time ago..."

"Is it possible that the resource points that are full are blocked and we can't find them at all, and only the resource points that are not yet full can be discovered by us?" Sonia pointed out a blind spot.

“The survivor effect is certainly plausible, but there is another possibility.”

Ash said: "That means that seemingly useless ordinary materials will also be collected regularly."

Sonia shook her head: "I haven't heard of any other magicians who can use ordinary materials besides you."

"That is to say, those who can use those ordinary materials are not necessarily magicians..."

As he spoke, Yaxiu had already opened the virtual world map and was ready to drive to find the next resource point. But at this moment, he found an unmarked red dot on the edge of the map.

"To use the majority to bully the minority is a manifestation of wisdom (unknown existence)"

Unknown existence means that it is not an intellectual creature, and the existence that walks around in the time continent, besides intellectual creatures, is the projection of the magician!

"It seems like there is a projection of a magician walking ahead."

"Hit him to death!" "Hit him!" Sword Lady and Witch made very dangerous remarks.

Ash followed suit and drove over. Now their favorite enemy was the projection of the magician that wandered around, because the "evil blade" of their sports car could directly hit the opponent and kill him, and they could easily earn the opponent's magic spirit and magician manual without fighting. It was more like robbery than freeloading.

As the distance shortened, Ash saw more details from the virtual map.

Then he slammed on the brakes.

"Why did you stop?"

Ash rubbed his eyes to make sure he had read the hint on the map correctly: "Behind the magician's projection, there is a large group of snake dragons... and some thousand-winged bird dragons! They seem to be heading towards us together!"

"Everyone thinks so too (some people, Chiba Dragon)"

"The following sentence is correct (a group of snakes, scorpions and dragons)"

"To use the majority to bully the minority is a manifestation of wisdom (unknown existence)"

The magician's projection moves with social creatures?

Sonia thought of a terrible possibility: "Quick, get out of the way, don't stand in front of them!"

Ash quickly drove the car to the side area and asked, "Why are there sorcerer projections and knowledge creatures mixed together? Are they sold as a bundle?"

Diya said: "Or maybe it just happened to be on the way?"

"No!" Sonia shook her head heavily: "It's not like that... They are a whole!"

As they spoke, the swift predator rolled over the earth like a bulldozer. The groaning of the grass and the roar of the trees as they bowed their heads intertwined into a symphony of disaster in nature.

Even with the obstruction of the countercurrent of golden rain, Ash and the others could still clearly hear an army of knowledge creatures marching recklessly beside them.

The magicians' bodies were almost stiff, as if they were afraid that their movements would disturb the passing monsters.

Ash's fingers were pressed on the direction keys, his eyes fixed on the light spot on the map, ready to run away at any time.

They all prayed in their hearts that this unknown legion would go to other places to party as planned and not notice these poor little monsters.

Even though Ash and his team were able to clear three resource points, they still needed to seize advantageous terrain when facing a group of monsters, and even had to create narrow terrain themselves to minimize the numerical advantage of the gregarious creatures. In a local area, it was often the case that three of them would surround and beat up two monsters.

In other words, they don't actually have the ability to fight in groups.

This is not a nest cave, and the magicians cannot find any favorable terrain. If this virtual army attacks them, they can only pray that the four wheels can outrun the flying creatures.

As the howling of the trees gradually faded away, they breathed a sigh of relief. Although they did not sweat in the virtual world, everyone felt a coolness as the fear evaporated from their bodies.

"What is that?" Ash asked.

"It's my first time seeing this, too." Diya murmured, "Luckily it's the first time, otherwise Xiaohong would be dead."

Red Death: "I knew that only a mortal battle would allow me to fully appear."

"This should be the second place in the Time Continent Danger Ranking."

Sonia lowered her voice and said, "They are roaming hunters who reap lives. They are nightmares that no magician wants to encounter. The Void Realm has the most unreserved malice towards outsiders—"

"Heroic Soul Legion."
