Chapter 929: 290. With a hidden meaning_3

III:

“Mirror Land.”

A medium sub-dimensional level Magic Relic, inhabited by mirror creatures capable of infinite rebirth.

Anyone entering this Magic Relic will inevitably encounter a mirror creature that is a one-to-one replica of themselves.

If the mirror creature kills the Original Master, it can then enter the natural world and live on as them, undetected, until discovered.

Mirror creatures can be possessed, dismembered, and their dismembered limbs transplanted onto the Original Master to replace their damaged parts.

Noland Lee felt that the mirror creatures could be regarded as clones for medical purposes.

In fact, those humans aware of these extraordinary creations indeed used them as a “spare parts warehouse” for their bodies.

The location of this Magic Relic is in the Battlefield Plain in the central part of Kashel Continent.

This area is in perpetual war; the surrounding Magical Kingdoms have long fought over “Mirror Land,” hence it’s known as the Battlefield Plain.

The Ulnas Circle does not intervene in the wars of Magic Kingdoms, so there are no First-Grade Magic Institutions within the warring Magic Kingdoms.

IV:

The last Magic Relic mentioned on the Letter Paper is named “Clockwork Magical Tomb.”

It is a medium sub-dimension, filled with countless clocks.

Each clock holds its own meaning.

Explorers must figure out the significance of each clock and strictly adhere to the time displayed when acting.

For instance, if a clock indicates there are only 10 seconds left until “mealtime,” explorers must stop whatever they are doing and prepare to eat.

Being one second early or late in placing food into their mouths would result in the Magic Relic’s power transforming them into new clocks.

The clocks that arise from transformed explorers also hold their own meanings and time information.

Now here comes the interesting part.

This Magic Relic was originally a small sub-dimensional plane.

Many, after hearing of its features, believed that as long as they acted according to the time information, they could safely wander within the relic.

Correct, the rules of this Magic Relic are relatively simple, but when the number of people increased, so did the occurrences of tardiness.

In just about 10 years, this Magic Relic evolved from a small sub-dimension to a medium sub-dimension, gain at least fifty thousand clocks made from transformed explorers.

The letter Noland Lee received stated that now, upon entering the “Clockwork Magical Tomb,” one would encounter at least five clocks simultaneously.

If unlucky and unable to promptly understand the meaning of the clocks, being transformed into one would be inevitable.

“Hmm, interesting. The five Magic Relics that ‘Lamp’ selected seem to have a deeper meaning,” Noland Lee murmured.

Denise Green leaned on him, teasing his cheek with her hair, causing Noland Lee to shrink his neck.

Denise Green chuckled softly, then asked in confusion:

“What deeper meaning?”

Noland Lee flicked the Letter Paper:

“Look.

“‘Soulbound Abyss’ is related to the Soul.

“‘Wriggling Feast’ is a gathering place for flesh.

“‘Shattered Labyrinth’ is involved with Space.

“‘Mirror Plain’s’ enemy is oneself, rather than external things.

“And the last one, ‘Clockwork Magical Tomb,’ needs no explanation, ‘Time’ is its theme.”

Noland Lee stroked Denise Green’s chin with his fingertip:

“Five Magic Relics corresponding to Soul, Body, Self, Time, and Space. It’s unlikely to be a coincidence; it must’ve been deliberately chosen by your Professor.”

Denise Green tilted her head slightly, studied the Letter Paper for a moment, and nodded as if enlightened:

“…Right~ it does seem like that.”

Noland Lee asked:

“Denise, did ‘Lamp’ provide any other Resurrection Witches with information about Magic Relics?”

Denise Green scratched her head, deep in thought:

“I remember there was. A few times when I went to seek advice from her, I encountered several high-level Resurrection Witches. From their conversations at the time, it appeared they were there to buy information about Magic Relics from the Professor.”

“What kind of Strength did those Resurrection Witches possess? Did they have Contractors?” Noland Lee continued to inquire.

“Let me check the list of Resurrection Witches from past years, give me a moment.”

Denise Green reached for her Magic Pouch and began to rummage through it.
