Chapter 795: Chapter 519: Dimensional Storm_1
After falling silent for a moment, Olivia, who was standing between Scarlett and Bianca White, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and hesitantly said, “My Lord, I have something to say.”
Perhaps due to the fact that it was her first time speaking in front of so many subordinates.
The young illusionist seemed very nervous, her voice a little shaky, and her steps noticeably stiff.
Seeing Olivia, who appeared both helpless and eager to express herself, at the bottom of the table, Leo Ray smiled slightly. He gestured with his hand to show her not to be nervous and said, “That’s all right, speak freely.”
As ordered, My Lord.”
Olivia took another deep breath, after receiving encouraging looks from her sisters Scarlett, Bianca White, Joshua Bingaman, Stella Clark, and others.
She then regained her spirit and said loudly, “As My Lord mentioned earlier, first of all, the phenomenon of a large area of dark clouds pressing down on the forest is indeed not a natural Mirage.”
Nodding to Leo Ray, Olivia bent slightly and continued, “Moreover, apart from the sudden appearance of treasure reactions, I don’t think this unusual phenomenon is caused by illusionists.”
Oh? Please elaborate.”
Leo Ray, who was sitting on the throne and held his chin with one hand, spoke thoughtfully.
“My Lord, in the vast majority of cases, an illusionist will indeed make some concealments outside the area where the illusion is cast.
Because a perfect illusion not only needs to deceive the target but also other people outside the target, making it difficult for them to detect the illusion.”
Frowning, Olivia’s speech began to unconsciously speed up, and she continued incessantly speaking, “As such, the phenomenon of a large area of dark clouds pressing down on the forest is a bit too eye-catching. It seems to be intentionally drawing people’s attention. This point obviously does not conform to common sense. Furthermore…”
Who would have thought that she just couldn’t stop talking once she started? This must be a rare talent, right?”
Listening to Olivia’s words pouring out like exploding beans, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to listen.
“Besides, around the boundary of an illusion, depending on the individual skills and ranks of the illusionist, as well as the types of illusions they cast and the auxiliary tools they use, various anomalous reactions may be derived. Among them, the most common is the turbulent flow of energy.”
Olivia maintained her bowed posture and continued, “However, situations with thin air mostly occur in the central area of the illusion’s interior and hardly ever affect the outside world.”
By this point, Olivia’s speaking rate returned to normal, and she concluded, “So, considering these two factors, along with the sudden appearance of a treasure reaction, I think the phenomenon of dark clouds pressing down on the forest isn’t caused by an illusionist.”
You’re indeed right, Olivia. Well said.”
Upon hearing the conversation, Scarlett, wearing her pointy witch hat, stepped forward and tilted her head in confusion, “But how do you explain the fish that appeared in the sky?”
Could it be another Lord who was communicating with our Lord experienced some kind of hallucination?”
A rough voice rang out as Taylor, standing right at the front of the group on Leo Ray’s left side with his imposing stature, spoke thoughtfully.
“We can’t rule out such a possibility.”
After pondering for a moment, Leo Ray picked up his teacup and took a sip of freshly brewed fragrant tea.
He then said, “Let’s leave that aside for now. Since we’ve just proved that the dark clouds pressing down on the forest and the treasure reaction aren’t caused by illusions, what do you all think about the external manifestations of the phenomenon, such as the pressed-down thunderclouds, thin air, and sudden appearance of treasure reactions?”
“My Lord, as far as I know, the phenomena of dark clouds pressing down on the forest and thin air are quite similar to the reactions caused by many high-level spells.”
Gideon Black adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and pondered, “However, I can’t explain the sudden appearance of treasure reactions.”
Falling silent for a moment, Gideon Black seemed to have thought of something as a glint of light flashed in his glasses. He continued, “If we only consider the sudden appearance of treasure reactions, the greatest possibility is space magic!”
“Senior Gideon, are you saying someone used spatial teleportation spells to send some kind of treasure into the Pine Sound Range?”
Olivia pondered and said, “Considering that, it indeed seems to be the most reasonable explanation.”
“But how do we explain the dark clouds pressing down on the city and the thin air? These are clearly not derivative phenomena of space magic.”
Standing at the back of the group, Joshua Bingaman gently twisted a waist-length strand of hair, musing, “And why would the spellcaster do that?”
At present, Joshua Bingaman was the only Alchemist present, while Orion Wolfe and Ariel Watson, who had initially started, were both in the process of advancing.
Hearing this, the faces of the other subordinates could not help but reveal similar expressions of doubt.
Thinking about it this way, the situation seemed to be becoming increasingly complex.
“Actually, the situation isn’t that complicated, and there’s no spellcaster at all.”
Just as everyone was puzzled and bewildered,
A woman dressed in a red bodysuit, with a long ponytail, said with a grin to her fellow subordinates, “Have any of you heard of the Dimensional Storm?”
“A Dimensional Storm? I remember seeing that term in an ancient book in the Grand Attic Library during our time at the Magic Tower…”
