Chapter 91: The Labyrinth of Illusion
Steady footsteps came from the silent passageway, and Ivan's figure appeared around the corner, but at this time, he frowned, and muttered something in his mouth. If you look closely, you can see the imperceptible tiredness and anxiety under those relatively calm eyes.
Looking at the identical stone chamber and the two separate passages in front of him, Ivan sat on a stone bench in the stone chamber a little tiredly.
Again, since I came to this labyrinth-like place three days ago, I have fallen into a terrible loop, no matter which passage I choose, there will definitely be exactly the same stone chamber and two divergent passages at the end of the road.
It was as if he had been standing still, never leaving the stone chamber and the two passages that had branched out.
But Ivan knows very well that he is not standing still all the time, but constantly moving forward. At first, he thought that he should have left the stone chamber, after all, the obvious fatigue of his body could not be faked, but as time passed by second, his end point was this stone chamber anyway, and he was a little uncertain.
In the end, in order to determine the answer, Ivan used the steel cross sword to make a conspicuous mark on the floor of the stone chamber, and then chose a random passage in the stone chamber to move on.
After walking out of the passage, he came to the identical stone chamber and found that the conspicuous mark was gone. This discovery made Ivan very sad, he couldn't find a place to crack the illusion of the second level, and it was even more difficult to figure out the falsity of the illusion than the illusion of the first level.
The first level is close to the collapse of the space in front of him, at least it can be clearly distinguished that this is fake, not real death, but this second level illusion, no matter how Ivan observes it in three days, he has no idea what the problem is.
If it is a stone chamber or a passage, but he has now walked through at least hundreds of stone chambers, and the combined area is at least half the size of the highest magic academy, how can such a large-scale illusion be arranged by a ninth-order mage?
You must know that arranging the illusion is more than a hundred times more difficult than the magic array, and the people who can arrange the illusion are all illusion mages with powerful magic. The rarity of illusion mages is on the verge of extinction, and if it weren't for a few terrifying illusion masters, I'm afraid that this department would have been canceled long ago.
If you want to arrange a super-large magic array that covers half of the highest magic academy, it requires countless resources and materials and the hard work of dozens of magic array grandmasters for decades, then the level of the illusion of the same area will definitely be more than a hundred times.
It's like a big labyrinth, there is never an end, and in the end you may even lose the entrance, cut off the way forward, lose the back road, how desperate.
Ivan sat on the stone bench, looking at the bifurcated passage in front of him, the unknown passage may be waiting for him to be another identical stone room, he continued to walk like this, there was no way at all, there was no way, it could only be like this.
Sighing secretly, Ivan began to call the old ghost in the space of the Book of Omniscience with his soul, he didn't want to ask the old ghost for help from his heart, one is that it will form a dependence on the old ghost, which is not conducive to his own strength, if the old ghost is not by his side in the future, who can he rely on at that time.
The second is that I don't know why, the acquaintance between him and the old ghost is too abrupt, from the old ghost to the master, he is ignorant, and the fate of the old ghost seems to be tied together. In any case, in the final analysis, it is one thing that Ivan himself cannot deny, that is, he has always been a little defensive and distrustful of the old ghost.
"Master, it's really strange that you would take the initiative to call me?" the old ghost's tone was filled with a very surprised feeling, as if he saw such a strange thing as a sow plowing the field and her mother wanting to marry someone.
"Oh, so I'm in trouble. Without waiting for Ivan to answer, the old ghost continued.
"Old ghost, I won't talk nonsense, do you have a way to solve this illusion?" Ivan asked directly and calmly.
"It's not too difficult to crack this illusion, first of all, the master has to figure out what the type of illusion is? The old ghost smiled faintly.
"You can say that, how do I know what the type of illusion is?" said Ivan to someone who stood and spoke without pain in his back.
"Hehe, the most basic type of illusion is divided into two types: force field deceptive illusion and body sensory deceptive illusion. Force field deceptive illusion is based on the natural environment's magnetic field, force field, temperature, gravity and other advantages, is already a naturally formed illusion.
If you add the acquired artificial addition, the spoke, the power may be even more terrifying, and it generally appears in the deep large or super-large illusion. Of course, this type of illusion also has drawbacks, that is, you can only stick to that special environment in order to exert the power of the illusion, and it will have no effect in other places.
In response to this drawback, the masters of illusion have devoted themselves to research, and finally solved this problem, they have created a special prop called the array plate, which can simply simulate a special environment in the array plate, which is easy to carry.
Although the illusion effect will be greatly reduced, the advantage is that the mobility ability is strong, not confined to one place, the eight major professions of the Jiuhua Empire, there is a formation of a formation of a formation division mobile force that is proficient in illusion, and the puppet mobile force and the sky griffin force, collectively known as the three great wonder soldiers of the Jiuhua Empire.
The deceptive illusion of the body senses, which does not require any specific environment, is a kind of illusion formed by the exhaustion, delusion, and coincidence caused by the human senses such as sight, hearing, and intuition. The old ghost laughed.
"Wait, old ghost, I can understand a little bit about the force field deceptive illusion you said, but what is the physical sensory deceptive illusion?" Ivan asked.
"Let me give you an example, there was a saint in my hometown, one day, he took two disciples to a ruined temple, prepared to boil porridge to eat, prepared for a long time, and finally finished, the saint and another disciple went to the stream to wash their hands.
The disciple who stayed in the ruined temple was very polite and did not eat it himself, when suddenly a fly flew into the pot, and the disciple used a spoon to get the fly to the ground, and at this time, the saint and his other disciple happened to return.
In the sight of the sage, the scene was that disciple, who did not abide by etiquette, did not respect the teacher, was eager to eat and was afraid of hardship, and did not wait for himself to come back, but secretly ate by himself, and did not see the fly in the pot.
Master, this is the simplest of bodily senses deceptive illusions, a coincidence, a self-righteous reality. The old ghost explained.
"Is that so?" said Ivan, thoughtfully.
"Hehe, to put it more simply, the force field deceptive illusion is formed by the natural environment, which belongs to heaven and earth, regardless of you and me. The deceptive illusion of the physical senses is formed by the human senses, which belongs to the human heart, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. The old ghost concluded.
