Angor didn't think about Ananda since they left Shepherding City. He didn't know who Ananda was, and even if he did, he wouldn't think too much about it.
After leaving Shepherding City, they flew toward Parmigi Highlands.
Along the way, Sunders didn't talk about the "surprise" from last night. Instead, he told Angor something he needed to pay attention to.
"Once we get back to Brute Cavern, we should leave as soon as possible. The Moonfrost Union will come for us if we stay too long."
Moonfrost Union was probably here for Bobota, not for Angor, but for Bobota. Still, Angor had to have a plan. Angor's survival from that "fatal" incident would surely attract their attention.
This was why Sunders brought it up.
"Should I hide myself when we go back?"
"There's no need for that. If you managed to hide yourself from those apprentices in Moliere's Land, you can try hiding yourself now. But since you already showed up, they must know that you're still alive through various channels. Hiding it now will only make you look suspicious, "said Sunders.
"What if the Moonfrost Union comes after me?"
"At most, the Moonfrost Union will think that you're still alive, and they'll want to know what happened next. But you'll never think that you're the core of the whole thing, "Sunders joked." Your strength has become your camouflage now. "
Angor was a little surprised by this.
Sunders continued, "It's easy to deal with the Moonfrost Union. You just show up in public and tell them a few ambiguous truths. Then we'll leave Brute Cavern. When the Moonfrost Union hears about it, they'll investigate it themselves. "
"An ambiguous truth?"
"For example, you can say that you've gained Oderklas' friendship. You can also reveal to a limited extent that something happened to the Lord of Flameless. "
As Sunders explained, Angor slowly understood what he was trying to say.
Sunders' words had to be true, and they had to be something that could be investigated. It didn't matter if it was a prophecy or some other method, the Moon Frost Alliance would be able to confirm that this was true.
Once Angor left with Sunders, the Moonfrost Moon wouldn't be able to find him since he was wearing a cloak that could block prophecies. The Moonfrost Moon could only use her imagination to fill in the blanks.
For example, maybe Angor was fine because he gained Oderklas' friendship. It didn't matter if Oderklas saved Angor himself, or if Oderklas' subordinates did it. As long as Oderklas had someone like Oderklas as his backing, one could easily imagine all kinds of scenarios.
Now that something had happened to the Flameless Lord, once Moonfrost confirmed that this was true, there would be even more room for imagination.
What happened to the Flameless Lord? Did something happen to Lord Flameless while chasing after Angor's group? Or did something happen to him?
No matter how they thought about it, no one would have thought that the one who killed Lord Flameless was a mere acolyte.
The mystery of what had happened to the Flameless Lord would definitely stir up a pool of muddy water and attract the attention of Meng Qi and the others.
By then, even if Angor, a "small fry", was exposed and noticed, he would never become the center of attention. By then, it would be much easier to solve the problem than now.
Angor quickly understood. Sunders' key to solving this problem was to use the truth to distract people's attention, and use time to eliminate the influence. The more muddy the water was, the more irrelevant it would be to an acolyte like Angor.
After making sure Angor understood, Sunders added, "But remember, when you spread the news about what happened to the Flameless Lord, you can't let your perspective be too clear. You need to remove yourself from this mess.
"In other words, you should make sure that others misunderstand that the Flameless Lord's accident was told to you by someone else, not by you. Otherwise, even if you manage to deal with the Moonfrost Moon, you'll still attract the attention of other big bosses in the Abyss. "
As for "someone else" … Sunders could only imagine that Oderklas would be the one to take the blame.
Angor nodded. The memory left behind by the person who looked like Shava clearly indicated one thing. Many big bosses were keeping an eye on what happened on Yuantan Continent. If they found out that Angor was one of them, he would be targeted.
After digesting the information, Angor was a little hesitant. "Isn't it inappropriate to trick Oderklas like this?"
Sunders shrugged. "You didn't trick him. You're just telling the truth."
Angor sighed deeply and did not say anything else. He could only apologize to Oderklas for now. But then again, not many people would dare to disturb or provoke Oderklas.
According to Sunders, this way of dealing with the matter could avoid many problems and allow Angor to show up openly.
There might be other ways to deal with it, such as going into hiding and waiting for a long time to calm down. But after some consideration, Angor believed that following Sunders' suggestion was the best way he could think of in a short amount of time.
Sunders smiled when he saw Angor pondering. "Actually, these are all trivial matters to me. At worst, we still have Phantom Island and Brute Cavern. Don't worry too much.
"Besides, Aurucia's origin is still there. The watchers from Starliege Church will probably notice it. At that time, Meng Qi won't look at you. "
"As for what happened to you, if anyone finds out about it, whether it's the dream wasteland or Yuantan Continent, it'll be something that will shock the entire wizarding world."
…
Soon, they arrived at Parmigi Highlands.
Angor felt a little uncomfortable as soon as he set foot on Parmigi Highlands. At first, Sunders thought Angor was worried about the wizards patrolling the area. But when he tried to talk to Angor, he realized that Angor was only worried about the chaotic energy in the air.
"You're quite sensitive when it comes to space." Sunders raised an eyebrow.
As far as Sunders knew, apprentices without Element of Space would not be able to sense the changes in space. Besides, it had been a long time since the plane fusion at Parmigi Highlands, and the chaotic energy had decreased a lot.
Sunders gave Angor a thoughtful look. Is it because of the projected bloodline? Or is it something else?
Angor also felt that his perception of space had improved. Back when he left Parmigi Highlands with Madelyne, the energy in the air was already chaotic before the plane fusion. But Angor did not feel this way back then.
Why did his perception improve? He didn't think it was because of the bloodline projection. Maybe it was because of the incomplete door model in his mind space?
As he pondered, the light in the sky suddenly changed.
The clear sky was suddenly covered by a thick layer of clouds. The sky turned dark in an instant, and the thin air became moist.
Soon, heavy rain began to fall.
Angor quickly activated the waterproof forcefield on his Gondola. While doing so, he noticed that Sunders was looking at the sky with a strange expression.
"Professor, is there something wrong with the rain?"
"Something is wrong." Sunders didn't explain. He simply told Angor to keep flying.
After flying at full speed for five minutes, they finally left the area covered by the rain clouds. Sunders looked back. Clouds were rolling in the sky, and the sunlight gave the clouds a layer of gradual color, which made them look magnificent.
"The rain seems to be enchanted," Sunders said with hesitation.
"Teacher, are you saying that this is a wizard casting a spell?"
"No." Sunders quickly denied it. "But it looks like —"
Before Sunders could finish his sentence, a flight of stairs suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the rain. The stairs led from the ground to the clouds.
At first, Angor thought it was just an illusion. But when he looked closer, he could clearly see the ripples caused by the falling rain.
The stairs were not an illusion. They were real.
"What's this?" Angor looked at the stairs in confusion.
"I see. A ruin hidden in Parmigi Highlands must have been opened and triggered some sort of mechanism, which is why the clouds are here." Sunders looked at the stairs and nodded.
"A ruin on Parmigi Highlands?"
Sunders nodded. "There are many unknown ruins on Parmigi Highlands. According to the books, most of them were left behind by ancient wizards. Many of them were left behind by the ancestors of Brute Cavern. However, most of the ruins here are useless. They're mostly isolated soundproofed rooms or laboratories built by wizards. "
"Should we go in and take a look?" Angor asked.
Sunders glanced at Angor. "There won't be anything good in these ruins. Most of them aren't safe either. The death rate is high. There's no need to explore them. Besides, if there's anything valuable, someone would have found it already. "
Sunders' intention was clear.
Angor didn't say anything. He was still curious about what was inside the ruins, but Sunders knew more about Parmigi Highlands than him.
With that in mind, Angor drove the Gondola away from the ruins.
Sunders pondered. "There's nothing special in these ruins, but most of them were closed long ago. Why are they suddenly reopened? Could it be that this is the aftereffect of the plane fusion? "
Sunders didn't know if it was a side effect of plane fusion or not, but he didn't have time to think about it now. This was because they could already see the heavenly moat in front of them.
