"..."
After listening to the young girl's story before him, the great mage Majie'er did not imdiately reply.
The elderly man sat in his chair, contemplating for a long ti.
Finally, as Fischer grew sowhat restless, Majie'er looked up at her again:
"Child, I understand your sister is innocent."
"But unfortunately, once the seal world has been constructed successfully, it becos a completely closed independent entity. As for the thod to enter it again, the so-called 'World Alteration' naturally is a way, but undoubtedly, it would result in more innocent people being dragged into it together."
"Since you have co for your innocent sister, you certainly wouldn't accept such a thod, right?"
As he spoke these remarks, the great mage's gaze had already taken on a scrutinizing aning.
'World Alteration' causes a region to completely fall into the 'Infinite Negative Domain,' a fact widely recognized by the higher-ups in the mystical circles worldwide.
But it's not the sa for those in less prominent positions.
In so places, managers will use different interpretive thods to explain new world rules, to better manage the minds of the lower-ranked casters.
Majie'er was unaware of Fischer's situation before him.
Therefore, he specifically asked this question at this ti.
However, Fischer's reaction soon made Majie'er see her in a new light.
Though the red-haired girl was deeply concerned about her sister, she displayed considerable aversion to the 'World Alteration,' a thod that would bring others along with her into the sealed world.
"Great Mage, that's absolutely impossible!"
"Sacrificing others for one's own goals is sothing that the Katherine family would never do!"
As soon as she resolutely declared her decision, Fischer stood up, agitated. Once she noticed the tranquil gaze from the great mage in front of her, she realized her lapse in manners.
Fischer promptly sat back down in her chair, her tone becoming increasingly serious:
"So I ca to you hoping to find a way to bring my sister back without harming others."
"..."
The great mage observed Fischer's every gesture but still did not imdiately respond.
Just like when he had just brought the three to this place.
The aged Majie'er silently pondered for a mont before continuing with his aged and steady voice:
"Child, my answer may disappoint you."
Hearing this, Fischer's arm visibly trembled, yet she maintained her posture:
"Great Mage, even if there's no possibility, please still provide with an answer."
"..."
Seeing the girl's firm persistence, Majie'er continued:
"The answer to this matter is not entirely impossible, but it is an answer that brings despair."
"If you can find an original to and destroy it in the most intense manner, the magical power that instantaneously spreads out might have an opportunity to interact with the spell logic perating the world's base, thereby opening the gateway for entry into that world."
"Destroying an original to..." Upon hearing this, Fischer froze in place. As a mber of the mystical side, how could she not know the harshness of such a requirent, "Is that really how it is..."
This is an original to!
Even during the spell-prolific Dark Age, an ordinary caster obtaining an original to was a near-impossible task.
As for now...
With nurous individuals in the mystical side beginning to hide their existence, not to ntion finding an original to, even identifying a caster's explicit identity would take so effort.
Such a demand, for Fischer, is undoubtedly as difficult as climbing heaven!
Moreover, the gravity of reality does not stop there.
Seeing the shock written all over Fischer's face, the great mage Majie'er sitting before her continued to reveal the current situation's harshness:
"And I must tell you."
"Even if you can find an original to and enter the seal in this way, the cost of such an action is that you can never return to the world we reside in."
After delivering this answer, Majie'er's voice lowered.
On the other side, upon hearing such news, Fischer still strove to keep her emotions in check:
"So—there's absolutely no chance for escape?"
The elderly Majie'er shook his head:
"At least for , it's the case."
"Moreover, child, you've traveled to many places; you must have heard of so people entering that seal through 'World Alteration'."
"But in all these years, when have you ever heard of anyone successfully returning from that seal?"
"..."
Speaking of this, a rare recollection erged in Majie'er's gaze.
He seed to return to that era when the two factions of casters were at odds and triggered a world-altering war.
"Back then, it was a life-or-death scenario."
"Against such enemies, no one wished for the prison they created to be a place one could easily enter and leave."
"..."
Having heard Majie'er's answer, Fischer's chest sharply throbbed.
Clearly, the girl's mood at this mont could not be pleasant.
But even though she obtained such an answer from the great mage, Fischer did not remain despondent.
After re breaths of ti passed, Fischer's expression began to firm up:
"Great Mage, I will not give up because of this."
The elderly Majie'er then asked:
"So you plan to find an original to and attempt to destroy it?"
"Not just that." At this mont, Fischer had fully regained her confidence, and her response to the great mage's inquiry held not a hint of hesitation, "I will accomplish everything needed and will definitely bring my sister back!"
Witnessing Fischer's unwavering attitude.
Majie'er did not attempt to strike down her hopes nor offer encouragent.
His aged body remained seated, and within his slightly murky gaze lay sowhat complex thoughts:
"Since that's the case, then go ahead and do it."
"But I must remind you, never easily disclose this thod to others."
After giving Fischer this reminder, Majie'er's attention shifted away from the girl. He lightly turned, his gaze returning to Ronald and Il.
As he carefully observed Il, the elderly mage's expression appeared puzzled.
Ronald could guess.
It should be that Majie'er saw that Il was not of human identity.
However, at this mont the elderly great mage did not exhibit the astonishnt he did in his youth; Majie'er quietly accepted this fact and did not raise any questions, instead continuing to examine Ronald beside him.
Thus, rely seconds passed.
The great mage's expression suddenly changed dramatically.
He even lifted his hand to point at Ronald, his tone filled with an incomprehensible sense of disbelief:
"You... how is this possible?"
"No! Young man, what is your relationship with Hobbs?"
