Even though I don't belong here anymore, no one knows it better than I do.

From the day Daystar picked me up, we walked for seven days and seven nights.

The top of the snow-capped mountain seems to be very close, but it is actually far, far away. All the "near" sensations are the illusion of an endless snowfield with nothing.

During this period, many of the mercenaries felt the despair of never reaching the end by the third day, and then people joined these desperate crowds every day. I don't really understand their feelings, I used to be a red wolf, and I could travel for a month just to frolic from the east to the west. Could it be that these humanoids can't even do half of it?

The mountain range in the distance seems to stretch for thousands of miles, but it is actually a huge ring mountain range, and it may not be 100,000 miles in a circle, but the natural illusion formed in the blizzard makes it look very long.

Daystar said that this kind of naturally formed illusion is called "mirage", which mostly appears in the desert or sea, and that it should be an incredible natural effect to be able to appear in the snow, and this natural effect is not magic or anything else, as long as the conditions that are not understood by people are gathered, it can appear.

I don't quite understand what Daystar said, but it doesn't matter, as long as you write it down first, it's not too late to understand it later, right?

The walls of the snow-capped mountains are very steep, and they have been polished by wind and snow all the year round, and many of the originally rough stone walls have become extremely smooth.

However, in the past I used to play with the newly grown red wolves on this mountain, and I knew where there was a shortcut to the mountain. The road was not steep, nor could it be blown into the snow, it was thin and narrow, and it was best to join it in a line like this.

Those who can climb to the top of the mountain are destined to see different landscapes, whether they can see a fairyland on earth or a new hell.

The first thought of everyone after climbing to the top of the snowy mountain was the same as when I first came, they didn't believe that the inside of this surrounding mountain range without leaving a single gap was actually in the shape of a funnel with no snowflakes at all. Instead of snowflakes, there was not a single cloud visible in the inner circle of this mountain range, and the sun was warm and bright near noon.

The stone walls of the inner mountain range are lined with narrow ditches that are lined up side by side, each made of black stone that looks like charred charcoal; Each ditch leads straight to the black hole in the center, and in some deep ditches, you can even see lava tumbling in them, emitting a hot light that illuminates the entire ditch.

The shape of the black hole in the middle is very round, and the hot sunlight cannot even illuminate the stone wall of the black hole for more than 300 meters, and the deeper part is pitch black with no bottom, and there is no magma or anything else in it, this black hole gives people the feeling that it can swallow everything, even light. To use a human metaphor, this black hole is like being able to go straight to the abyss.

The mirage tears that Daystar was looking for were inside the black hole, but not at the bottom.

If it is a normal hole, the greatest possibility after falling into it is to reach the bottom, but the time in the black hole passes slowly, enough for the person who fell to find the destination and find a way to come back.

That's how I found the Mirage Tears, I fell down once, and I was young and bold enough to go down and see it. But I didn't dare to go to the end, and in the time of my fall, my fearless feeling disappeared without a trace, and in the face of the darkness that enveloped my whole body, only fear surrounded me.

At that time, seeing a little bit of blue light was like finding a lifesaver, I cast magic on the air, borrowed the reverse thrust to go to the cave where the blue light was, and then I saw the most beautiful scene in my life-

The ice crystals continued to grow and spread in the cave, and a frost palace was built in the cave, and it was easy to distinguish which were pillars and which were beams, but there was only one ice crystal road covered by long spars in the clusters of ice crystals, each of which had beautiful lines, but there was no trace of carving.

It's just that there are no cold ice crystals, the important thing is that in the deepest part of the temple, there is a blue stone suspended in the ice crystal seat that rotates. It emits a white light, like a small sun, illuminating the entire temple, and the white light refracts colorful fragments in the ice crystals, and standing in front of it is as if you are standing in the center of the world.

If Mirage Tears are indeed as rare and precious as Daystar says, I'm sure this one must be Mirage Tears.

It took me a great deal of effort to lead the group across the rocky ditches into which they would fall if they were not careful, and I warned them not to leave the group, for I had not been to the deeper places, nor had the courage to go there; If someone can't follow me to the location of the Mirage Tears, I don't know what will happen to that person.

They didn't believe me, but they didn't dare to joke with their lives, and the most reluctant one swore to me that they would never leave the team.

The descent was not difficult because the speed of the descent was very slow, and when I saw that familiar blue light again, we had enough time to reach the hole. Originally, I was still distressed, even if I got to the entrance of the cave, but I couldn't see the others. The captain of the mercenary team came up with a way to tie ropes to everyone, as long as I passed, and then pulled the ropes one by one.

It worked so well that everybody succeeded.

But the way into the palace was not so smooth, inexplicably someone went crazy, always talking nonsense, and people became strange, and began to attack others at the slightest disagreement.

I don't understand why they're crazy, but Daystar says that they see visions, and people who enter here see what they want the most happening, but the illusions suddenly shatter when people are happiest, and people see what they hate the most.

I didn't see what Daystar said, I asked Daystar, did you see it? Daystar nodded. What do you see? Daystar shook his head.

Don't you want to say it? Forget it if you don't want to say it, not everyone wants to share secrets.

At the end of the line, half of our team was missing, and those people either went mad and ran to the hidden path elsewhere without a trace, or they suddenly attacked their teammates in a frenzy, and were killed by the rest of the mercenary team after finding that they couldn't regain their sanity or knock them out.

The team's state looks very miserable right now, but that's okay, the target has arrived!

The tears of the mirage are just around the corner!
