"Why can't the magicians find any trace of the theoretically huge golden fish?"
"Why does the virtual world say that the golden fish is in the sea and can be seen without any ritual?"
“There is only one answer.”
Ash murmured, "We are inside the golden fish, and the time continent is above the white mist."
Sonia subconsciously wanted to find fault, but when she compared the information she had currently known with this conclusion, she found that every detail matched, perfectly explaining the truth about the golden fish!
"Oh, right," she suddenly recalled, "In the only magician manual I've read, didn't it mention that after the explorer found the golden fish, he climbed more than 800 floors but still couldn't climb up the golden fish?"
"Think carefully, if the golden fish is really as huge as more than 800 layers, even if it is blocked by the white fog, the magicians will not be unable to find any trace of it... And in the Sea of Knowledge, the only place that cannot be reached even if you climb more than 800 layers is..."
"Sky."
The two of them stared blankly at the foggy sky.
After a long while, Sonia asked blankly: "But how do we climb up?"
Yeah, how do they climb into the sky
Even though they knew that the Time Continent was just above them and that they could become two-winged magicians by climbing up, but... where was the way
There is no ladder from the sky to heaven, no tower to heaven on the ground, and even in the sea of knowledge there is no natural landscape that is more than one meter above sea level.
They are not like the explorers who are proficient in earth magic, so they cannot build a tall building on the ground. The only way to increase the height is to put a stand on the top, with Sword Lady standing on the stand's shoulders and Ash standing on Sword Lady's shoulders.
Could Ash summon thousands of Stands to stack himself on top of them? No, because he only had the Stand spell, and didn't know the Multiple Stands miracle, so he could only summon one Stand.
If he summoned a second stand, the first stand would disappear. If he wanted to summon two stands, the best way was to find the second stand spirit, and then activate the two spirits together to create the miracle of "double stand".
Therefore, the use of magic spirits is a skill, which is very large-scale in some places and very conservative in others.
"Is there any miracle of flying?" Ash asked.
"One-wing level flying miracles are rare." Sonia shook her head: "One-wing level movement miracles are basically rapid movement on the ground. Even if they can temporarily take off, it is only to cross obstacles and does not have the ability to fly."
"This situation has not improved even with the second wing. At most, the movement speed is faster, the consumption is less, and the ability to change direction is more flexible. The real miracle of flight will only become common when it reaches the three-wing sanctuary level."
"Why?"
"Because the prerequisite for achieving the Three-Winged Sanctuary is to fully unfold the Silver Wings and the Gold Wings." Sonia raised her hands and made a flapping motion: "Do you think the magician's virtual wings are just for viewing?"
"Ah? Aren't virtual wings used to intimidate the opponent? Before the battle, let's compare virtual wings. Whoever has more and more complete virtual wings will be stronger."
"That's just a sociological term. The real virtual wings are a reflection of the magician's accumulated knowledge. Each virtual wing can bring great help to the magician..."
"A great help?" Ash was startled, and spread his silver wings: "Besides allowing me to go to the toilet at night without turning on the light, what other help does it have?"
"Silver Blessing." Sonia spread her hands. "Didn't I tell you before? The fully unfolded silver wings can only prove that our silver magic power has reached its limit. When we successfully advance to the second wing, leave the Sea of Knowledge, and reach the Continent of Time, the silver wings will shine. Only then will the silver wings be in perfect shape."
"The shining silver wings will grant eternal blessings to the magician, which is often related to the magician's main faction. Even for a magician who has just been promoted to the second wing, the silver blessing can increase his combat power by more than 20%. If he is lucky, he can even get a 100% increase."
Ash reacted: "No wonder you were so tired tonight but still insisted on dragging me to look for the golden fish..."
A full 20% to 100% increase in combat power would be of decisive help to his jailbreak plan tomorrow. If it was for the silver blessing, it was indeed worth trying his best.
Sonia felt the alcohol rising in reality again, and her cheeks were slightly hot. "I've already said that I just want to see the scenery of the Time Continent as soon as possible... and you promised to help me realize my dream. Finding the golden fish is part of my dream, so I must drag you along."
"That's right. So when will you sing for me? I can judge from your singing voice whether I have taken a dirty job against my conscience."
"You're using this to pick on me, right? Then I'll do it too. 'I feel so light and weightless...'"
"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant. Talk about a flying miracle, talk about a flying miracle."
At this time, Ash also resolved a doubt in his heart. He had long felt that his silver wings were a little different from the silver wings that Valcas had displayed at the beginning. They were not bright enough and not strong enough. He thought it was a problem of light before, but he didn't expect it to be a development problem.
As long as he hasn't opened the door to the new world, his silver wings will remain virgin wings, not mature virtual wings.
Sonia paused. "After the magician obtains the perfect pair of wings, they can not only obtain the silver blessing and gold blessing brought by the virtual wings, but also because of the qualitative change brought by the virtual wings becoming a pair, the magician can directly use the wings to soar in reality. For this reason, most flying miracles require a three-wing sanctuary, and at the very least, two wings must be complete."
Simply put, the flying miracle is equivalent to a luxury car or yacht, which can only be enjoyed by the wealthy with three wings or more, and the wealthy have no intention of developing a low-end version of the luxury car or yacht that the poor can also afford.
She raised her head and looked at the gray sky. "Even if we find a flying miracle that can be used with one wing, the explorers built a tower of 800 floors and still can't climb to the top. Even if we use up all our magic power, I'm afraid we won't be able to fly that high."
"The easiest way for a magician to fly is to fly with virtual wings. No doubt about it. Knowledge is our easiest wings."
Ash stood up and flapped his silver wings, but it had no effect except for shaking the boat a bit.
Sonia said helplessly: "Even if you haven't learned wind magic, you should know that you need a pair of wings to fly, right?"
She also showed confusion on her face: "The flying miracle can't fly that high, and the earth magic can't build a tower to the sky... How did those legendary magicians who claimed to have found the golden fish and successfully smuggled to the time continent climb to the time continent? Are we wrong, or is there a ladder to the sky on the sea of knowledge, or is there some way to get a pair of wings in advance?"
"If you just need a pair of wings..." Ash said softly, "We have those too."
"us?"
Sonia was startled and saw the viewer pointing at his own silver wings, and then pointing at her silver wings.
“This is outrageous…”
