Confirming that the illusion could be broken, Witch Sharon felt even more relaxed. She did not bother Akers and Stoop anymore, but concentrated on dealing with another matter.
The guards of the Guman royal family have arrived!
Through the observation of the wizard's eyes, there are no official wizards among the royal guards who came, which is consistent with the message from Paganini.
Without an official wizard, it would be much easier.
The only thing that needs attention is the possible spies among the guards.
The background of the spy belongs to one of the two camps. If he is a spy sent by the wizard organization, that is fine; but if he is a spy from an extreme sect, it will not be good. After all, although they are human beings, they have lived in the wilderness all year round.
In other worlds, extreme sects are very sensitive to the atmosphere of other worlds.
Once you are targeted by an extremist sect because of details, the consequences will be somewhat unpredictable.
However, Witch Sharon also thinks about the worst-case scenario. In reality, once you are prepared in advance, there are many ways to avoid the worst-case scenario from happening.
In the end, Witch Sharon chose a simple and crude method: intimidation.
She summoned several human-faced spirits and blended them into the many ancient trees on the outskirts of the mountain forest. In an instant, human faces appeared on the vicissitudes of the skin of these ancient trees... Upon closer inspection, they looked like trees.
A family of people.
These human-faced ancient trees are the first link in Sharon's witch plan.
The human-faced ancient trees have no fighting power. Their purpose is to use words to intimidate and dissuade the guards from approaching the mountains and forests.
And its rhetoric only needs to revolve around one core: there is a powerful dark wizard in the mountains and forests.
No matter whether they succeeded in getting the guards to retreat in the end, as long as the guards knew that the black wizard appeared in the forest, they could directly enter the second ring.
Witch Sharon will appear as a dark wizard and face these guards in person. Whether she is trapped or killed after that, it all depends on Witch Sharon's mood.
After all, she was "very kind" and placed ancient human-faced trees outside the mountain forest to discourage this group of people from leaving. If they don't leave, they will have to bear the consequences of not leaving.
As for trying to reason with the black wizard? Forget it, I'm not a white wizard.
Isn't it recognized that dark wizards act unreasonably?
Witch Sharon's plan is just like this. It's very simple and crude. To put it bluntly, if you don't listen to good-intentioned advice, you must be prepared to accept the punishment of a stick.
It's enough to give those guards the idea that "we brought everything upon ourselves."
Of course, there will be flaws in this, and it will also make people suspicious. But the character of the dark wizard is here, and even if you want to doubt it, you have to start with the dark wizard.
There are not a few dark wizards in the wizarding world of the Southern Territory. By the time they really find out the problem, it will probably be a long time later. At that time, it is hard to say whether Witch Sharon is still in the Southern Territory or not.
Therefore, as long as the implementation is successful and the present is postponed, there is no need to worry about the future.
Soon, the plan began to proceed according to Witch Sharon's arrangements.
The appearance of the Ancient Human-Faced Tree indeed surprised the guards. However, they also realized that the Ancient Human-Faced Tree was very weak and would not pose a threat to them. Therefore, they did not mind hearing about the Ancient Human-Faced Tree.
What the tree said.
Soon, the Ancient Human-Faced Tree planted the concept in their minds that "there is a dark wizard inside, please do not enter."
But as royal guards, they have always been arrogant in their behavior. Anyway, they have the support of King Guman. What's more, this mountain forest is within the territory of the Kingdom of Guman, so King Guman is the biggest in all.
Although they were also a little afraid of the dark wizard, they thought that it was not far from the capital, so the other party might not dare to take action... Besides, they just wanted to see what happened, and they were not trying to arrest him on the spot.
What's more, there is still a question mark as to whether there is a dark wizard inside.
Thinking of this, the royal guards continued to move forward.
As they moved forward, they encountered several ancient trees with human faces. These ancient trees changed from intimidating them at the beginning to offering kind words and persuading them, and their attitudes changed obviously.
It is also Witch Sharon's plan to create a "heart-warming" setting for the ancient tree with a human face.
This setting has only one purpose: to be benevolent and righteous.
In order to prevent outsiders from prying into the forest, so many ancient trees with human faces were placed to discourage people from entering the forest. This is already the end of benevolence. If you still don't listen, you are asking for it.
Later, the royal guards were actually a little embarrassed. After all, the Ancient Human-Faced Tree seemed to be full of goodwill, but they had always failed to live up to each other's goodwill.
But in order to find out the problem here, they had to move forward. - The situation in the Guman Kingdom is now tense, and any disturbance is ordered by King Guman to be thoroughly investigated, so they also have difficulties in not being able to move forward.
It was also because Konoe's thoughts began to become complicated, so when they actually saw the "dark wizard" wearing a black robe and mask coming, they felt a subtle feeling of relaxation in their hearts.
After that, of course it’s Sharon the Witch’s performance.
As an official wizard and a powerful space wizard, it would be easy for Witch Sharon to deal with these apprentices.
By this time, Witch Sharon had appeared, and there were even more methods that could be done.
In front of the guards, she adapted to local conditions and used the power of space to create a special forest maze nearby, and threw the guards into it.
"As long as you can get out of the maze, you can survive... However, I left some gadgets in the maze. You'd better pray not to touch it."
"Wish ya'll good luck."
After leaving these two sentences, Witch Sharon's mission was basically completed.
She did leave something in the maze...that was the space crack.
As long as they observe carefully, they still have a chance to discover the space cracks, but if they touch the cracks without knowing about the space cracks, then with the strength of this group of apprentices, they will definitely die.
However, there is still a way to survive. What Witch Sharon said, "You can survive if you get out of the maze." This is not a lie. She has left an exit for this maze. As long as you explore slowly, you will definitely have a chance to come out.
Of course, there is a way to even save everyone.
That is to stay where they are after entering, and wait until King Guman sends someone to rescue them, then everyone will be fine.
For Witch Sharon, it doesn't matter whether they choose to explore the maze or wait for rescue. They will definitely not be able to enter the forest in a short time anyway. Her goal has been achieved.
After solving the "external disturbance", Witch Sharon returned to the fog, and now she is waiting to solve the "internal disturbance".
Still on the top of the tall black fir tree, Witch Sharon looked quietly at the mist in the sea of trees in front of her.
At this moment, the fog in the forest was much thinner than at the beginning.
In other words, the foggy illusion is already weakening. At this rate, it won't take long to completely break through the foggy illusion.
Thinking of this, Witch Sharon also breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I have solved the problem of the guards, how is the situation on your side?" Witch Sharon asked in the psychic belt.
However, after a long time, no one on the other end of the psychic belt said a word.
Witch Sharon only thought that they were serious about breaking through the fog, so she didn't pay attention. She continued to wait outside silently. She even had time to observe the actions of the guards in the forest maze.
It is worth mentioning that after entering the maze, these guards did not behave as aggressively as when they entered the forest. Instead, they chose to stay where they were, waiting for rescue.
However, not everyone is willing to wait for rescue. There are still some people who want to take the initiative.
Among those who take the initiative, they are divided into two categories: one is to go alone so as not to harm everyone; the other is to go together with everyone.
Witch Sharon discovered that among the second group of people, there were several people who were quite "fanning the flames". They did not suggest that everyone should attack together, but secretly encouraged everyone's emotions.
For the authorities, they had not found anything wrong with these people; but as a bystander, Sharon felt that their behavior was very strange.
The spies...maybe come from these people.
Witch Sharon observed these people with great interest, secretly guessing who was the spy, and whether the camp behind the spy was a wizard organization or an extremist sect?
After observing for about five minutes, Witch Sharon finally zeroed in on a man and a woman.
Both apprentices showed obvious signs of being agitated, and the format of their speech, the content of their speech, and the language structure used to express their meaning were obviously different from others.
Generally speaking, different life backgrounds will lead to differences in the way of speaking; but now, there is no simple background difference between these two people and others, and there is even a faint difference in "values and cognitive concepts".
They may not have noticed it themselves, but Witch Sharon saw it clearly.
There may be a spy among these two people; it is even possible that both of them are spies.
"I seem to have discovered a spy in the Guards... How about I go over and test them? Find out their background?" Witch Sharon said in the psychic belt.
Unfortunately... no one responded.
"Stop, Ax?" Witch Sharon hesitated for a moment, then directly called their real names.
However, there is still no feedback.
Feeling the quiet spiritual connection, Witch Sharon felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness in her heart.
Something is wrong.
Even if she was serious about cracking the illusion, she wouldn't call her by name and not answer, right? Could it be that there is a problem in the illusion?
Witch Sharon called a few more times, but no matter how she called, there was no response.
At this moment, Witch Sharon had no time to worry about who was the spy. She jumped down from the black fir tree without hesitation, and plunged into the mist with a pop.
After entering the misty fantasy world, Witch Sharon immediately felt a familiar psychedelic feeling.
Everything around him was white, and his five senses seemed to be confused.
However, this time, Witch Sharon was not at a loss as she was when she was trapped in the ring before, because... the psychic tether has not been broken yet.
Illusion can confuse the five senses, but it cannot cut off the connection between the soul and the soul.
She closed her eyes, shut down all external perceptions, and just followed the guidance of her soul tether, moving forward step by step. And the direction she was heading towards was the depths of the fog.
After an unknown amount of time, Witch Sharon felt that the connection between her soul ties seemed to be about to reach its end.
Only then did Witch Sharon open her eyes.
There was still fog all around, and no one could be seen.
Witch Sharon didn't care about the fog, but focused on staring at the end of the psychic tether...
It stands to reason that the end of the psychic tether must be connected to Stop and Akers. But what Witch Sharon sees now is a denser fog.
This area shrouded in fog is only ten meters square at present. It is roughly similar to other fogs around it, except that it is thicker... and there seem to be more green streaks in the fog, and there is even a faint green light.
Looking at the small foggy area, Witch Sharon suddenly felt a little chilly all over. This was not a change in external temperature, but a kind of "thriller" originating from the soul.
It's like there's some great horror ahead.
"I'm scaring myself." Witch Sharon murmured in a low voice. There was nothing here before, so how could something terrible suddenly appear?
Witch Sharon was silent for a moment, and shouted to the mist: "Can you hear me? Akers, Stoops?"
No reply.
"It must be the fog that obscures the senses. It was the same for me in the ring before." Witch Sharon's throat moved, she swallowed, and finally decided to step forward and take a look.
Because the end of the spiritual tether is in this fog.
In other words, Stoop and Akers should both be in it.
"Paganini didn't warn Stop before, so I guess it won't be a big deal. Maybe they are just trapped. After I go in, I should be able to destroy this layer of fog with my combined strength." Witch Sharon
Talking to himself, seems to be cheering himself up.
After speaking, Witch Sharon took a deep breath and walked quickly into the mist.
The fog swallowed up the figure of Witch Sharon, and soon, the surroundings became silent again.
Witch Sharon's voice, which was still talking to herself, suddenly stopped as she entered the fog.
Time keeps passing.
Without the energy support of the operator, the power of the green pattern is also exhausted. Coupled with the suppression of the external energy system by the world will of the wizarding world, this causes the green pattern to be consumed faster and faster.
It also means that this fog will not exist for too long.
An hour later, the thick fog that swallowed Witch Sharon gradually faded, and it could be clearly seen that there was no human figure inside.
Four hours later, the fog surrounding the mountain forest also changed from a mixture of thick and light to a thin layer.
After another two hours, the mist completely disappeared, and the mountains and forests returned to their former tranquility under the morning light.
But Witch Sharon, Stopp, and Akers still did not appear after the fog disappeared.
It's like it's never been here before.
Only the forest maze in the distance is still running, showing traces of Sharon Witch's existence.
