Chapter 65 Project Reality
Chapter 65 Project Reality
Angel focused on the first part of Sanders words – “When I get back.”
Does that mean he’s leaving now?
“Mentor, I’ve read a lot about the Nightmare Plane today, but I still don’t have a specific concept. What kind of world is the Nightmare Plane like?” Angel doesn’t care if Sanders leaves. For now, learning more about the Nightmare Plane is the most important thing.
Hearing his question, Sanders did not answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before slowly saying, “The Nightmare Plane is a very special plane.”
When he said this, his eyes flashed with a lot of emotions, mostly complex and antagonistic.
“It’s nature is unknown. It reflects all reality and makes people feel as if it was false, but when you really touch it, some of it will be real. It has a set of rules, but no one can truly determine truth. ”
Sanders words, though mindful, is more mysterious than what is recorded in the books.
“I still haven’t figured out what’s happening with the Nightmare Plane myself. But what I can tell you is that 80% of my achievements today originate from the Nightmare Plane, so I’ve spent hundreds of years exploring only the periphery of the Nightmare Plane, that alone should clearly show it’s value. ”
Just from exploring the periphery of the Nightmare Plane has created one of the most powerful and renown wizard known throughout the South.
“But its degree of danger is also proportional to or even greater than its opportunities. ” At this point Sanders paused and looked at Angel: “You should probably understand the level of danger by now. Haven’t you also experienced the Nightmare Plane’s Nightmares creatures? Twice in a row you were in a near-death crisis, but I do not know whether it was fortune or misfortune guiding you, but it allowed you to escape from the danger with your life very smoothly. ”
The conversation suddenly turned to Angel, but he didn’t react for a moment, and his face filled with doubts: Have I been there too? A near-death crisis?
Is this true? Why doesn’t he even know about it? Angel recalled his 14 years of life, he was born into an aristocratic family, his parents passed, his brother is his friend, his family is very close, and they are the leading family in Grud Town. Angel grew up in such a family and is the youngest in the family. He had a good life and really didn’t encounter anything that lead him into a near-death crisis.
And even if it did happen, how would Sanders know?
“Have you forgotten? The fantasy about the rabbit hole was made by the Nightmare Plane creature, and the woman with stitches sewn all over her face. ” Flora looked at the ignorant Angel, and rolled her eyes disdainfully. “You said it yourself, and you make us remind you. ”
Rabbit hole, stitch sewn weirdo!
Angel suddenly thought that if he included his encounters during that daydream in “Wonderland”, he really did fall twice into life and death crisis. However, Angel has always thought that what had happened during the talent test was an illusion, so he never really took it seriously.
Wait, so that was a life and death crisis?
Also, the location of the Nightmare Plane is in the same exact location as Pat Manor!

If that really was the Nightmare Plane, then he seems to understand Fivenda’s assessment of the Nightmare Plane’s description of being a “Strange World.”
-Project Reality, Reveal Illusion, Create Truth.
That creepy Pat Manor that he experienced was actually referred to as “Project Reality,” projecting the real Pat Manor into the Nightmare Plane.
With this understanding, a lot of things made sense. It’s just, what do the last two phrases mean “Reveal Illusion, Create Truth?”
After clearing the misunderstanding, Sanders said: “From my understanding of the ‘Nightmare Plane’ up til now, I can tell you of one thing that is certain, what I just said about the Nightmare Plane projecting reality, that ‘reality’ refers not only to our world, but to all the worlds with intelligent life. ”
“When I first went to the Nightmare Plane, where I arrived had a giant silver pyramid. I didn’t think too much about it at the time, but many years later, I was involved in a pioneer exploration of a plane that had not been connected to our plane through a channel yet, so no one had even entered it, except for a crystal wall being seen when we crossed through from the Wizard World. As pioneer wizards, we were the first to step into that plane. ”
Sanders sighed, “Do you know what I saw the first time I stepped into that new plane?” “
Sanders tone changed, letting Angel vaguely guess the answer.
“Yes, it was that very same silver giant pyramid I had seen in the Nightmare Plane many years ago. ” When Sanders recalled this event, he lamented: “At that time, I almost told the other wizards to evacuate because I thought we had broken into the Nightmare Plane, and because the Nightmare Plane is so dangerous, it must be treated with extreme caution. ”
“But it turns out that the plane was not in the Nightmare Plane, but just a very ordinary plane. There were no resources, and even serving as a grain farming base was not so lucrative. The only thing desirable about it was that it had a kind of half-stone intelligent life, which was a good life model used for some wizards who are approaching the end of their lives. ”
“This is just one example. It may not prove that the Nightmare Plane can project reality from a world filled with intelligent life, but later on when I spoke with several other wizards who had also been to the Nightmare Plane, they all had similar experiences. So, our guess is that the Nightmare Plane can project all realities of intelligent life. ”
After listening to Sanders, Angel silently thought to himself: According to the bold assumptions through academic research, careful verification of the method, perhaps this conjecture should have some merit, or some hypothetical conditions. For example, the premise of projection is that there needs to be intelligent life so that the plane can be projected once into the Nightmare plane.
“It was really hard to say with certainty for a while, what had happened with the Nightmare Plane. But this time, your choice of going to the Nightmare Plane is both a challenge and an opportunity. ”
The topic regarding the “Nightmare Plane” is over, and Sanders doesn’t comment further on Angel’s choice. Angel even began to suspect that Sanders was not being a small-bellied chicken sausage, and that it might not be a matter of him choosing to sell himself to the Savage Grottoes or creating his own mental model. But now it’s too late to say anything else, and now Sanders doesn’t want to speak of this topic anymore.
After Goode removed all the plates from the table, he arranged for some baked snacks and milk to be served.
The milk is specially prepared for Angel, although Angel tries to hide his little hobby of drinking milk, it seems to be ineffective, Goode will specialize in creating dairy products for him to try every day.
But it’s a good thing that only Goode knows he likes milk.
“Do you like milk? You haven’t grown up yet. ” Before Angel had thought he got away with his secret, he heard Flora who was drinking an unknown blood colored liquid, sipping it slowly with her mouth and smiling.
Angel: “……”
“If you like milk, drink more, children should drink more milk to grow up quickly.” Sanders said with serious concern.
Angel swallowed his spit and said, “Actually, I don’t like milk.”
As if hearing something preposterous, Sanders turned to Goode and told him, “Put all the cows on the ranch in Angel’s name.”
Goode: “Yes, my lord.”
Angel: “……”
…….
“You saw the thunderclouds today didn’t you? How did it make you feel?” Although the tone of Sanders’s speech has not changed, Angel vaguely feels that when Sanders spoke to him, he was less estranged and unfamiliar, and more close and casual.
“It was weird.” Angel went on to say: “Since noon until present, the thunderclouds have not dispersed, and the scope is far too wide. It seems like it covers the whole ocean. ”
“Heeh, is that why you didn’t you show up all afternoon, just because of a bit of rainless thunder and lightning?” Flora holds the wine glass filled with bright red liquid.
“Indeed.” Angel also arrived at this conclusion, a whole day of thunder, but did not seeing a single drop of rain.
