Sometimes, the mirage would be in the form of a ghost market that suddenly appeared on the sea. In the ghost market would be all kinds of strange things and beings.
Sometimes, it was a magnificent ancient temple with eerie statues that could not be looked at directly.
Sometimes, it might even be a lost civilized city, where one could seemingly see an unknown civilization with a different style from the wizard civilization.
In short, the mirages came in various strange forms that were incomprehensible.
Either way, wizards who accidentally entered a mirage rarely left alive. From the wizards who were lucky enough to leave, they learned that the spiritual force of a wizard would be suppressed by an extremely powerful and mysterious spiritual power in the mirage, causing the wizard’s spell-casting to be extremely sluggish, and the power of spells would be reduced by a level. In other words, even if one was a second-circle wizard, one would only have first-circle combat strength after entering the mirage.
Additionally, the probability of mirages appearing was very small, given the very few mirages in the history of the Star Tower, so wizard schools of thought rarely studied this phenomenon purposefully.
So far, the one who had the most in-depth research on mirages was actually a new small wizard school of thought: The School of Dreams.
They believed that mirages might be a projection of a supreme will beyond the understanding of wizards in the Endless Sea. It was a strange space between illusion and reality, between fact and falsehood.
This “supreme will” could be a civilization that was more powerful than the wizard civilization, or it could even be a “supreme existence” of a higher dimension that was more powerful than the Gods of the astral world. Perhaps, this existence had just taken a nap at home and had a dream, forming “mirages” in the Endless Sea.
Of course, this theory was severely criticized by many traditional wizard schools of thought, who believed that the School of Dreams was seemingly going against the Realm of the Unbelievers as this speculation was simply too idealistic and nihilistic.
Thinking of this, Levi couldn’t help but sigh. “Even a Legendary Wizard can’t recognize the truth and nature of this world. The path of pursuing the truth is endless.”
Although the wizard civilization was powerful, he knew an old saying that said that there were bound to be things one couldn’t see and fathom, as well as others who were bound to be better.
Only by standing high could one see far. Therefore, he still had a long way to go as a wizard.
Just as Levi was worrying about nothing, Dinos had already tidied up the ship and had the servants prepare a banquet.
“Sir Levi, please follow me,” Fort said.
Levi followed the old butler to the luxurious banquet hall at the top of the ship.
All kinds of delicacies were displayed on the long table.
At the other end of the long table, Dinos looked tired, but he still smiled.
“Thank you again for saving our lives, Sir Levi. The Jostar Family has an oath: Kindness and debts must be repaid! This is our family motto and our business philosophy. Relying on our good reputation, the Jostar Family has been able to continuously expand and grow since our ancestor Rhine Jostar.”
“Wait a minute… Who did you say your ancestor was?” Levi suddenly interrupted.
“Rhine Jostar,” Dinos said proudly.
“Yes, he is our ancestor. You’ve heard of him?” Dinos suddenly perked up.
“Of course, Lionheart Knight Rhine, the famous legendary knight. How could I not have heard of him?” Levi said. Although he had heard about the Jostar Family from Manla, he did not expect Lionheart Knight Rhine to be their ancestor. He thought that the lionheart knight had died in the mortal world, but now it seemed that he had also entered the Realm of Azure Cloud.
The Lionheart Knight and the Flower Knight, two of the seven legendary knights from the Shining Tavern were all in the Realm of Azure Cloud.
On the other hand, according to Emperor Mu’s description, Golden Knight Gregor should have died at sea in the mortal world.
Other than that, Blood Knight Brad was Old Man Anderson, who was a Secondary Blood Clan member.
Up until now, the only ones among the seven legendary knights whose whereabouts were still unknown to Levi were Black Knight Blake, Thousand Faced Knight Nameless, and Snow Knight Flair.
Of course, other than these seven legendary knights, there were others. It was just that these seven were the ones who were more well-known in the Seven Kingdoms. They might not be the strongest, but they all had famous legends and extremely distinct personal characteristics. Under the artistic refinement and exaggeration of the bards, they eventually became the most famous seven legendary knights.
“Our ancestor has already fallen for hundreds of years. I thought that he had long been forgotten in the human world. I didn’t expect everyone to still remember him.” Dinos’ admiration for his ancestor could not help but grow even more.
When the topic of the legendary knight was brought up, Dinos seemed to have become a chatterbox, and Levi learned the true story of the Lionheart Knight from him.
After the Lionheart Knight became a legendary knight, he entered the Wizard World through some means. The Lionheart Knight did not have the talent to become a wizard, but he was determined to do something in the Wizard World so that his family would be around forever.
Therefore, he relied on his identity as a legendary knight to marry an apprentice wizard and successfully gave birth to a son with triple affinity and the talent to become a wizard.
After that, the Lionheart Knight did his best to earn money in this Wizard World as a legendary knight. He fought with wizards who had mastered spells, killed sea beasts in the Endless Sea, and sold materials to earn Aehter Stones, paving the way for the future of his son.
In the end, the son of the Lionheart Knight successfully became an official wizard and joined a second-circle wizard organization on the Yellow Earth
Continent. This was undoubtedly a good start..
