Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 609 Unreachable Knowledge

If the Tribunal controls the continent of Neflet and the Stargate Council manages the continent of Iskeper, then the continent of Statert can be considered an outcast among 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 Iskeper, it is not under the control of the Stargate Council.

Because the owner of the Skye Islands was also a fourth-tier wizard, and a rather powerful one at that.

She usually stays on the main island, Sky City, but she can also appear in most liquids.

This includes a person's bodily fluids.

This terrifying ability, much like the Tribunal's ruler's ability to appear anywhere there is light, has led her vassals and subjects to regard her as a legendary, godlike being.

Now, this "god" senses the call of her blood-related sister and appears in a semi-abandoned cave below the cliff.

"Both the Stargate Council and the Tribunal have broken their agreement and attacked the No Man's Land. Ophelia, I hope you can still laugh when you hear this news."

"whee."

Pei'er: "..."

"Silly sister, you don't know what the Abyss's anchor points mean to a fourth-tier wizard. If the breakthrough of the boundary is already unstoppable, then the protection of the no-owner land will immediately turn into the struggle for the anchor points."

Pei'er frowned. Even though she was already a third-tier wizard and had just tried to break through to the fourth tier a couple of years ago, she still didn't understand some of the hidden knowledge until she reached the fourth tier.

Even if Ophelia said it directly to her, her brain would refuse to accept it, and she would only hear these ambiguous descriptions.

"Anchor point...what exactly is it?"

"Even if I tell you again, you won't remember it." Ophelia was relatively patient with her sister.

Pei'er had no choice but to give up. "Alright, so the Tribunal and the Stargate Council asked us to find the eye of the storm not to prevent the boundary from breaking, but to obtain the anchor point the moment the boundary breaks?"

"You could say that."

"Anchor points are something only fourth-tier wizards can touch. So let me ask you this: if the boundary is broken, what will happen to the unclaimed lands? What will happen to me...?"

"I cannot predict the future, but I can tell you about history."

"history……"

"Do you know why the No Man's Land is so dangerous yet has such abundant resources?"

Pei'er had already figured it out; she bit her lip and narrowed her eyes little by little.

"Because of the generations of corpses beneath your feet that have nourished you over the years! Hehehehehe..."

Pelle interrupted Ophelia's irritating laughter with annoyance, "What if I just leave the No Man's Land?"

"You can't leave," Ophelia said softly. "Once you enter the No Man's Land, you'll be marked. Everyone who has ever, is, or will ever enter the No Man's Land will become new nourishment for it after the boundary is broken."

When Ophelia mentioned that her sister might die, her tone didn't change at all; clearly, her concern for her sister didn't include her sister's life.

Upon hearing about her possible fate, Pei'er felt a weight lifted from her shoulders and was no longer so uneasy.

"Then why did you ask me to contact you? It can't just be to tell me the ending in advance, can it?"

"Of course. Neither I nor the other two major forces would have allowed the anchor point to breach the boundary as our first choice. What I just said was actually a last resort to mitigate the losses."

The human skin was pushed up by the water flow below, creating two bulges, like a person raising their hands.

"I want to make a deal with you. Before the boundary is breached, I'll do my best to stop it for you, but after the boundary is breached, I want you to help me seize the anchor point immediately!"

Pelle remained silent, allowing time to process the meaning behind Ophelia's words.

In other words, before the disaster strikes, Ophelia will help Perle prevent it from happening. To do this, she will definitely provide Perle with assistance, such as restoring her strength and helping her resist the erosion of nightmares.

But if they ultimately fail to prevent the disaster from erupting, Ophelia will immediately use Perle to seize the source of the disaster—the Anchor Point.

As for the outcome of using it, it will most likely result in death or alienation.

Since her fate would be bad once the boundary was crossed anyway, she might as well accept Ophelia's suggestion.

So, there's one last question.

"How can I be sure you'll prioritize preventing the boundary breach?"

Ophelia's voice became erratic, "Because even if any of us obtains the anchor point, there's no guarantee... that our worlds will actually become closer as a result..."

There were some key words that Pei'er didn't hear at all.

It's also possible that they forgot it immediately after hearing it.

Peier looked up. Although she didn't hear the key information, she could feel the power of rules inherent in Ophelia's words.

That, on the contrary, is the strongest evidence that she did not lie.

"I understand. Do I need to sign a contract to make this deal with you?"

"Hehehe, no need. Now that the deal is done, I'll tell you something first."

"What?"

"Hehehe, you're still... in a nightmare!"

"Ha!"

Pei'er suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still lying on the stone platform in the secret chamber, while the consciousness left behind by Thor, An, dressed in Nerella's body, was staring straight at her.

"What are you doing?" In an instant, Pei'er's tone became very harsh.

She wasn't sure if she was dreaming.

An took two steps back, looking at Pei'er warily. "You were acting very strangely just now! Who are you?"

Pei'er ignored her completely, sat up on her own, and looked at her right hand.

Her right hand did not turn into a wide, thin bandage.

Seeing that Pei'er ignored her, An breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're still alive, otherwise I would have had to go back to tell my master."

Pei'er still ignored An, but suddenly stretched out her right hand and cut a wound on her left palm.

Blood, reddish with a few strands of silver, flowed out under her control, quickly pooling into a small puddle in her palm.

The silhouette of a woman was faintly visible on the surface of the pool of blood.

The sound also came from inside.

"I blurred your dream; the nightmare couldn't see the real scene inside."

With a clench and a shrug, Pei'er's blood and the wound vanished completely.

"Even if you've blurred my dream this time, I can no longer be sure which scenes were dreams and which were reality."

She clenched her fist again. "If I had already blurred the lines between reality and nightmares, then has Clark already discovered my and Thor's plan?"

Thinking of this, she felt a chill run down her spine, realizing how terrifyingly profound Clark was, who hadn't reacted at all to their schemes.

She immediately turned to Ann and asked, "Do you have a way to get in touch with Saul quickly?"

An was taken aback. "Only communication."

"Write a letter? No, that's too slow. I'll go see him myself."

After saying that, Pei'er jumped down from the stone platform.

An, however, felt uneasy. "Don't you often get pulled into dreams? What if you fall asleep halfway through?"

Pei'er didn't explain in detail, only hurriedly saying, "Not anymore," before rushing out of the cave.

Ann blinked, and Pei'er vanished from her sight.

She raised her hand, but was unsure if she could call out to the other person.

"I came to tell you... my subordinates reported that they seem to have... found the eye of the storm..."

Unfortunately, only the air heard those words.

An sighed helplessly, "Luckily, I just wrote to my master. If she goes to see her master too, she should receive the news together, right?"
