Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1348 - 533: The Sun King and the Land of Mirrors (Part 3)

"Because he belongs to the real world, and the Land of Mirrors only accepts pure consciousness."

The scene shows the Sun King reaching out to touch the mirror, but his hand can only feel the cold surface, unable to penetrate into that ideal world.

"At the end of the story, an ultimate puzzle is left behind:

How can the Sun King enter the Land of Mirrors and dispel the last shadow?"

The pages stop turning here, awaiting Ron’s response.

The whole allegory is constructed with extreme finesse, possessing both philosophical depth and practical value.

It cleverly caters to Ron’s current need—to seek a transcendent solution amidst multifaceted games.

Ron pondered for a moment, then looked up, his eyes burning with the fire of inquiry:

"This allegory is so exquisite, it reveals the deep relationship between cognition and reality."

"But about the method for the Sun King to enter the Land of Mirrors..."

He paused for a moment, feigning an expression of inspiration hitting him:

"I think, perhaps the answer is hidden in a fragment of history. Some being that has successfully achieved such transformation, leaving behind experience and lessons."

"Can I explore this question’s answer through historical research?"

The false "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide" let out a satisfied chuckle:

"A very wise choice! History is indeed the best master."

"Go, use your skills to seek the answer. The secrets of the Land of Mirrors are waiting for you to uncover."

Ron activated the Historical Research skill.

The silver pocket watch glowed faintly on his chest, and the river of time began to surge around him.

But this time, the river’s direction seemed unusually eerie.

It was not flowing to the past, but towards a "space of possibilities" that had never existed.

The world began to spin, and the boundaries of reality slowly blurred.

At the last moment, when his consciousness was about to completely sink into the trap, he heard Nari’s furious roar:

"My baby! Mommy is coming to save you!"

Aselia’s calm voice followed:

"Ron, stay sober! This is a battle of minds, not historical exploration!"

Then, everything fell into a swirling vortex of brilliant yet dangerous light...

.........

Meanwhile, in the real room, the genuine "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide" was quietly lying on the desk.

At the moment Ron’s consciousness was dragged into the "Land of Mirrors," the giant eye on the cover suddenly opened.

The pages began to turn silently by themselves, with each page emitting a faint but pure golden glow.

This light was utterly different from the glow emitted by the earlier "Disguiser"—deeper, more ancient, and also more... dangerous.

"This trap is quite well made..."

A familiar voice sounded from deep within the pages, carrying the unique playful tone of the King of Absurdity.

The pages turned faster and finally stopped at a blank page.

A precise star map began to appear on the page, marked with numerous intersecting lines of fate.

These lines of fate were not chaotic; at this moment, they had been carefully woven into a massive network by two powerful wills.

At one end of the network, the light of "absurdity" flickered with chaotic brilliance;

At the other end, the light of "illusion" emitted a mesmerizing color.

The three self-claimed Time Hounds within this giant net were just insignificant nodes.

"With a Dark Sun Level of cognitive capacity, attempting to construct such a comprehensive mind maze?"

A line of sarcastic text appeared on the pages:

"It’s as ridiculous as trying to use an abacus to perform quantum calculations."

The star map began to zoom in, displaying the real structure of the "Land of Mirrors."

It was no makeshift illusion.

Every detail, every rule, had been perfected and fine-tuned countless times.

["Artisan’s Maze" external manifestation: "Mirror Paradox"]

More text appeared on the page:

"I went to great lengths to bring this here; it should provide enough testing and training to let this lad gain a qualitative leap in the field he urgently needs."

"Of course."

The tone of the text became even more playful:

"The premise is that he can get out alive."

With this sentence, the "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide" closed again, the giant eye on the cover slowly shutting.

The room returned to silence, as if everything that had happened was just an illusion.
