Albion was in a better situation compared to the others, having landed steadily on the ground. Although he was still seriously injured and had not healed, he was 30 to 40 percent better than before.
Dwight's eyes were fixated on Fane as if he had discovered a whole new world.
"How did you find the trap array eye? Your father said that you were able to get out because you found the trap array eye!" Dwight could not suppress his surprise when he spoke. To him, Fane seemed more capable than ever.
Jed patted the dust off his clothes and exclaimed, "You truly have found a way to break the trap array. Prior to that, I thought that you had lost your mind when you said that you could find it!"
Jed was flustered as he recalled how he thought Fane had lost his mind. He was obviously the one who had no idea what was going on.
Fane ignored what Jed said and turned to look at Dwight instead.
"Didn’t I tell you that I’ve seen and studied ancient scrolls that contain information about the Ten Absolute Trap Array? They happened to describe the method on how to break through the Ten Absolute Trap Array. All we had to do was just find the trap array eye..."
A calculative gleam flashed through Dwight's eyes, and he wanted to continue asking questions. However, Fane turned his head away and walked a few steps forward before looking into the distance.
Jed reacted and immediately followed up with a question, "Shouldn’t we leave this place as soon as possible?"
Dwight stood beside Fane, and his eyes brightened from the red sunset in the sky. "You mean that we’re wrapped in illusions? That whatever we see right now in the visual illusions are all made up?"
Fane merely looked up ahead. “No. I just feel that the flow of time inside is different from that outside. Look at the bones on the ground. You said that your Elder Gardner had already disappeared for more than a hundred years. Unless he went crazy and killed himself, he would’ve been able to stay inside for a few hundred years with his storage space and high fighting prowess.”
Dwight’s eyes lit up, visibly inspired by what Fane said. He suddenly turned around and his breath quickened in excitement. “You mean to say that the time inside is flowing several times faster than that on the outside?”
Fane nodded before he shook his head. “We can’t seem to differentiate anything just by looking at the sun in the sky. However, we know how long we’ve stayed inside. It had only been an hour since we jumped down from the cliff, and it should be around noon time right now. The time inside seems to be right, but the time out here seems to be different.”
