Wang looked at the tower and muttered: "My teacher thinks I can definitely solve this puzzle... The junior uncle said that we should go beyond the question and look at the problem from another angle... In other words, I have mastered all the needs information, we just need to look at the problem from a different angle.”
He touched his chin, his hand still playing with his thin beard.
Elizabeth: "Could it be..."
Wang looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, I realized after I opened my mouth that I didn't know what to say." Elizabeth said awkwardly, "I just thought I should contribute."
Rosalie teased: "Maybe you can hit this tower with a scorching ray."
Wang: "It's useless. Various attack spells have already been tried."
After saying that, he seamlessly switched to the state where he was thinking and thinking: "It jumps out of the question, but I'm not sure what the question is."
Next, Wang kept talking and thinking, staring at the giant tower in a daze.
A group of people around him didn't dare to say a word and stayed with him to bask in the sun.
For people who don't understand magic, in fact, the communication spells of the Nine Rings and the words of those old naughty boys are not very intimidating, but Master Mel's reaction is.
The Archmage was scared to death in front of you. After he came to life, he modestly said that he was just an apprentice. This was so shocking.
Everyone waited quietly for half an hour.
The sun was scorching, and everyone was sweating profusely. Even the elf Nini had a layer of sweat visible to the naked eye. Elizabeth and Rosalie's clothes were soaked through.
The sweat on Rosalie's body even outlined the shape of her corset on her coat.
Suddenly, Wang snapped his fingers.
Rosalie asked eagerly: "Do you understand?"
Wang: "I don't understand. I don't understand what's going on with this tower at all."
Elizabeth: "Then you snap your fingers?"
"I suddenly discovered that there was a flaw in what my teacher said." Wang looked at Elizabeth, completely ignoring her seductive figure in a sweaty state. "My teacher said that when he was traveling in this plane, Once I arrived in Monrovia, I saw right through the tower's trick."
Emperor Bernal couldn't help but said: "Is there any problem with this?"
"Of course there is a problem. When my teacher first came to Monrovia, he was still a rookie. His journey started from Langdon Territory, and he must have been very young when he arrived in Monrovia. Is it possible that he left In reverse, first over the World Mountains and then around again before returning to Monrovia?”
Bernal: "So?"
Wang: "A rookie may be able to unlock the secrets of the tower. But how can a rookie see through destiny? Can he still know that this secret is in my destiny? Did he know that I was there at that time? This seems like something a rookie can do ?"
"Master" Mel nodded: "It makes sense."
Emperor: "So your teacher lied?"
"No!" Wang flatly denied, "The best liar will use the truth to deceive people. The devil likes to do this! My teacher is telling the truth, but he is not a rookie mage who has just started his adventure, but has become a journeyman. Mage, he changed his identity and traveled in the plane! This is the first time for that identity!"
The emperor lost his patience: "So? We have been sunbathing with you for so long, and you discovered this?"
"Don't worry! The planeswalker teacher discovered the truth about the mystery of the tower at a glance for the first time. But for thousands of years, countless mages have tried to decipher the truth about the tower but failed! Is there a possibility? , the difference between planeswalkers and these mages makes them unable to see through the tower’s tricks?”
Wang turned around excitedly, looked at the tower, and continued his train of thought: "The biggest difference between a planeswalker and an ordinary mage is that he has gained eternity. He has jumped out of the flow of time in this plane. So, doesn't this tower also exist? In the flow of time?
"No, no, we can't see the tower if it's not in the flow of time. The planeswalker will appear in front of the residents of this plane because he is integrated into the flow of time. So the tower is indeed Within the flow of time.”
Mel next to him widened his eyes: "This is... this is knowledge that I have never heard of! So the nature of time is... my God!"
Everyone else turned to look at the old mage.
Wang ignored the old mage's reaction and continued to follow his train of thought: "What else is different about planeswalkers from ordinary mages? Do they understand the nature of the universe? Can this thing be related to the nature of the universe? If so, I, who don't understand the nature of the universe, It can't be solved! But the masters said, this is a problem that I can solve.
"What else?"
Suddenly, Wang stopped mumbling, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's an illusion," he said.
"Master" Mel immediately denied: "Impossible! Over the years, I don't know how many people have used spells such as true knowledge. Illusion has long been seen!"
"No, the most powerful illusion will directly change people's cognition and even distort the rules of physics. I only saw this statement in books before, but today I actually saw it!" Wang touched the surface of the tower with his hand , then excitedly turned to everyone and said, "Look!"
Elizabeth looked confused: "What are you looking at?"
Wang turned around and skimmed a layer of oil from her secondary sexual characteristics: "Look! The sun is so big, you are about to suffer from dehydration and heat stroke, but this tower is completely cold. Because it only exists in my mind. Chiri!”
"Wait a minute!" Rosalie shouted, "Didn't I just tell you that there is a group of cultists in Minos, and their hobby is to climb this tower!"
Wang: "Yes, but think about it, how could an ordinary stone tower have 'ripples'? This is exactly what would happen if the tower did not actually exist. It only exists in cognition. If someone firmly believes that it can Feel the ripples on it, and then use skills like the monk's air sea to climb up along the ripples, and he might succeed!"
Rosalie: "What you said...I can't find any reason to refute it. But I always feel that it can't be the case! I have seen this tower for twenty years, and it has been here since I opened my eyes. You suddenly told me it doesn’t exist…”
Wang: "I didn't say it doesn't exist, it does exist for you! This is the same as the principle of many illusions, such as the Phantom Killer. For the person who is tricked, the killer is real, so he' Killed'."
He suddenly stopped: "I see, the Phantom Killer is like this. I always thought it was scaring people to death with illusions. It turns out it's not scaring people to death, but distorting cognition. So in the world that the target perceives, He was literally killed.
"If we follow this idea, we might be able to succeed!"
Wang grabbed Elizabeth's shoulders: "I may be about to get my first fourth-level spell! Or a cool spell like Phantom Killer!"
Elizabeth looked astonished: "Have you opened the ring? Can't you just sleep and dream to get to the next level?"
King: "That's you, you're a warlock!"
"Then...then congratulations?" Elizabeth said uncertainly.
"Thank you." The mage thought about it, and the excitement immediately cooled down, because new confusion appeared, "But why can the shadow spell only have 20% authenticity? Shouldn't it be perfect? A copied conjuration spell? Tsk, it seems that this inspiration is not enough for me to understand all the four-ring illusions. What else is missing?"
At this time, the emperor, who was even more impatient, spoke: "How long are you going to keep trying? Have you cracked the tower?"
The king looked at the emperor in surprise: "It's cracked. This tower is a high-level illusion that distorts the real world by distorting cognition. In fact, it does not exist at all. The Cyclops proverb really cracked this mystery The key: the lack of an answer is also an answer!”
Bernal: "Nonsense! What's the difference between this and a charlatan?"
Wang: "Yes. I will demonstrate it to you!"
As he said that, he turned and rushed towards the tower!
Then he hit everything and sat back on the ground, with a big bump on his forehead.
Bernal laughed loudly: "Look! I said this is a trick of charlatans!!"
Wang stood up and patted his butt. His face was not a little bit ashamed of this failure. He muttered: "It seems that vision stopped me. My eyes are trying to tell me that it is real. Just close your eyes." Enough."
Bernal: "Hahaha, look, Mel, the legendary mage's apprentice is crazy!"
Mel was still there muttering in a daze: "Time! Time is like this! If he can master the method of using Phantom Killer like this, then I should also be able to master the stop of time. What is the difference?"
The emperor shook his head, and at this moment the king closed his eyes.
He rushed towards the tower with his eyes closed, faster and harder than before!
Rosalie closed her eyes, unable to bear to look.
Elizabeth looked straight at it. It was obvious that the two people had completely different levels of trust in the young mage!
The next moment, the mage rushed into the tower and disappeared.
Bernal was ready to laugh, but the smile froze directly on his face.
Mel, who was still concentrating on his thoughts, suddenly raised his head: "Fuck! He's disappeared!"
The soldiers and knights who followed the emperor and the old mage were all Monrovians. Many of them had served under the tower for many years, and now they were all stunned when they saw this scene.
After a few seconds, Wang appeared again: "There is nothing inside. This is a solid illusion. This time I am going to open my eyes and give it a try."
He turned around and was about to rush forward again, but changed his mind midway. He walked slowly towards the tower with a leisurely pace, and then disappeared into the white wall.
The onlookers were silent.
The emperor shouted: "I don't believe it! If it's just that simple, how could so many great mages and dwarf craftsmen not notice it!"
The king's voice came from inside the high tower wall, and it sounded like the wall itself was speaking: "Because this may be a legendary illusion, the kind that requires studying for several years before casting a spell, and then continuing to cast the spell for thirty days. A very complex spell that completes the entire casting action.
"Furthermore, people who can see through this spell will probably lose interest in it all of a sudden, because it is really simple. Maybe they also think it is very interesting to let later people study this thing tirelessly. Maybe There are people who come back regularly to check what kind of work the ordinary people have done.”
As he spoke, Wang came out of the high wall and spread his hands: "Among so many people present, I probably know the most planeswalkers. Believe me, for planeswalkers, the reactions of people from all walks of life to this false entity, But it’s much more valuable than the spell itself.”
Bernal still couldn't accept it: "So... the biggest unsolved mystery in Monrovia, the pride of Minos, is actually a joke? There are no powerful magic props in it, let alone powerful magic weapons. ?”
Wang: "Yes."
But the emperor immediately frowned: "No, your teacher said that this is a gift to you. You didn't get anything?"
Wang: "Why didn't I get it? I got the third-level spell when I was ten years old. I haven't opened the fourth-level spell in eight years. Now I may have mastered the first fourth-level spell! This is a big gift! Of course, do I need to prepare the spell tomorrow morning?" You will know when the time comes.”
Bernal: "I still don't believe it!"
Rosalie looked at her father, turned to the king and said, "It seems that your father won't believe it unless you remove this magic."
The king turned to look at the tower: "Actually, I can no longer see this tower. For me, the magic has been lifted. If any of you believe me from the bottom of your heart, you can also try it. Keep it closed at first. Eye."
Elizabeth: "Let me try."
She didn't wait for the king to respond before heading towards the tower.
Wang shouted at her back: "You can try it with your own secondary sexual characteristics first. Remember not to open your eyes when you try it, otherwise it may get embedded inside."
Elizabeth: "Got it!"
She stood one step in front of the tower, took a deep breath, and then pressed up against it with her eyes open - yes, she opened her eyes.
Then she perfectly blended into the tower - of course this was a sight seen by people other than the king.
After a few seconds, Elizabeth came out with a complicated expression on her face: "I thought I would hit the wall like you with my eyes open, but after all, I had a buffer and was not afraid, so I went straight up. But in the end..."
Wang: "Can you still see this tower now?"
Elizabeth turned back: "You can see it, but...ah, it's starting to disappear."
Bernal strode forward.
King: "Wait a minute! Your Majesty, an unbeliever like you will definitely hit me!"
Before he finished speaking, the emperor bumped into a stone wall. His nose, as the most prominent part, was the first to be hit, and he immediately began to bleed wildly.
The priest who came with the emperor rushed forward and started treatment.
Rosalie looked at Wang and Elizabeth, took a deep breath: "I'll give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaobai had already rushed into the white wall of the tower.
The werewolf's voice came from the white wall: "There's really nothing! Wow, it's not interesting at all."
The little girl ran out: "I thought big waves could get in, so I gave it a try, and sure enough I could get in."
Wang: "It's like this. After the seeds of doubt are planted, the spell begins to fail. I think as long as I announce the news and gather enough people to watch the fun, I go in in front of everyone, and gradually Everyone in Minoan would not be able to see this tower. Of course it would be useless to those who stubbornly believe that there is a tower here.”
Elizabeth looked at Wang: "But, I want to know, can you remove this magic? Your teacher said that this is a gift from fate. I also think that just opening the loop is not enough to be called a gift. Or maybe, maybe Will you learn more after you lift this spell?"
The king thought for a while and nodded: "You make sense. Then I want to think about how to remove it. First, I need to know where the core of this magic is. It is definitely not on the foundation of the tower. Because this is a dwarf Rebuilt.”
**
Some demiplane, some room in a giant mage tower.
An old man is entering another old man's study.
"Has it been cracked?" he asked.
"Cracked. After all, he is the darling of fate. He regards the cognitive modification effect of fate anchoring as a kind of illusion and cracked it. Although... illusion can indeed be regarded as cognitive modification, and the boundaries are very blurred."
"Others can see through it because their destiny has been led astray by him, such as the mage Mel, and his teammates. People who have not been led astray have no such thing. Soon they heard the rumors about the people who came to hit the wall, He will be regarded as a charlatan."
"Hey, that's also a kind of experience. Besides, isn't it possible that he can't remove this magic? No way! Okay, you continue reading, I'm going to punish the troublemakers."
