Seeing Sunders' cold attitude, Shildeen had no choice but to admit defeat.
First, he admitted his mistake and said he didn't mean it. Next, Shildeen apologized to Angor. Sunders didn't know what Shildeen was thinking, but at least he looked sincere on the surface.
Sunders humphed coldly. He did not pursue the matter and let it go.
Besides, they all noticed the chilling aura emanating from Sunders, so no one dared to provoke him. They all looked away and no longer dared to look at Tree Spirit Palace.
Wallace also sighed and prepared to leave. But before he left, he spoke to Sunders, "I already know what you said. Can this be published in the Mirror? "
"Sure." Sunders nodded.
The reason he brought Angor here was to spread the news, and Mirror was the best place to do so.
Wallace nodded and gave Sunders and Angor a complicated look. In the end, he shook his head and left.
Wallace now understood why Sunders said that he would not have time to send Angor to Seagull Academy after this was over. After Wallace went back, not only did he have to consider the editing of Mirror, but he also had to consider the impact of this incident on the table. He didn't have time to worry about his apprentice.
The matter seemed to have calmed down, but it was only on the surface. The hidden turbulence would erupt in the next few days, and it might last for a long time.
When Wallace left, only Tree Spirit and Sunders were left in the room.
Tree Spirit looked at Angor with a smile. "What you said is true. But there are still many things that are unclear. For example, your body. It seems your strength and body are still unbalanced. You just improved, right? "
Angor didn't say anything.
Tree Spirit didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Sunders. He knew Angor must have told him all this because of Sunders.
Everything Angor said was enough to shock the entire southern wizardry region, but Tree Spirit had a feeling that Angor's unfinished words were the key.
Of course, this was only Tree Spirit's instinct. He still needed to confirm it.
"There's something I can't tell you yet."
Tree Spirit nodded. His intuition was right. He did not ask about the unfinished business right away. "What about the future?"
"In the future, I will tell you the truth."
Tree Spirit nodded. "How will it affect Brute Cavern?"
"I can't guarantee anything else, but at least there's no harm."
Hearing this, Tree Spirit finally stopped talking about this topic. "Today's matter is enough to last us a long time. Then I'll look forward to the day you tell the truth. "
Before leaving, Sunders asked about Sumesh's condition. "What's going on?"
Sunders hadn't seen Sumesh since they parted ways at the Abyss Plane. She was planning to bring Sumesh with her to the Old Earth, but when she returned to Phantom Island, she didn't find the boy there.
"Sumesh hasn't come back since he left last time." Tree Spirit replied.
Sunders nodded and stopped asking. Maybe Sumesh was doing something similar to Madelyne. After all, Sumesh had just become a truth-finder, and it was easy for him to see things from his perspective. This was something that every truth-finder wizard would have to go through.
Before they left, Tree Spirit spoke to Angor again, "That Shildeen guy's been acting crazy lately. Especially after he failed at Remnant River, he became even more paranoid than before. You need to stay away from him as much as possible."
Tree Spirit's words made Angor think about Shildeen on his way back.
He didn't know much about Shildeen. He only knew that the man's nickname was "Wise Man", and that he was an expert in runes. Apart from that, Blackjack, who fought against him in Sky Tower, seemed to have become Shildeen's disciple.
There was nothing else he knew about Shildeen.
He was also surprised when Shildeen suddenly asked him about the Origin Flame.
But from what Tree Spirit said, it seemed that Shildeen was really going against him. The man went to Remnant River and failed … and the only thing related to Angor was the music box he asked Davy to sell.
Did Shildeen also want to buy the music box and failed to get it, so he took it out on Angor? This logic seemed a little too childish. Normal people wouldn't think like this, let alone a wizard.
Sunders gave a reasonable explanation to Angor's confusion. "Shildeen appeared to be a kind and generous man, and he's also learned and elegant. That's why he's called 'Wise Man'. But in fact, Shildeen is an extreme egoist.
"He recently took in a student. You should know him."
Angor nodded. "Blackjack."
Blackjack was Angor's first opponent in Sky Tower. Back then, Blackjack didn't have a teacher yet. However, due to some destiny, Blackjack didn't become a high-level wizard. Instead, he kept tormenting newbies on the first floor of Sky Tower, which earned him the nickname "Newbie Butcher".
Angor had a good impression of Blackjack. Blackjack worshipped Sunders and hoped that Sunders would take him in as a student, so he always dressed up like Sunders.
It was also the first time Angor met an opponent who used cards. Blackjack's cards were similar to spell slots, which allowed him to cast powerful cantrips instantly.
Later, Angor learned that Blackjack's cards were engraved with the legendary runes.
"Shildeen was very knowledgeable about runes, and he always tried to organize them systematically. However, the Supreme Cult banished the study of runes from the southern wizarding region under the slogan of the world's consciousness, so Shildeen couldn't do it. He was even targeted by other wizards.
"Shildeen had no choice but to go into hiding. He began to collect runes in secret. As for his new disciple, he had received some inscription inheritance before. Therefore, he accepted him as his disciple. He just wanted to make up for his own shortcomings.
"I heard that after he did that, he abandoned his student and never kept his promise. Not only is he narrow-minded, but he's also an egoist."
"That's why he has his eyes on you." Sunders continued, "That's why he has his eyes on you."
"His biggest obsession is to become a truth-finder wizard. Your alchemy illusion helped Greya to create a new spell."
Angor hesitated. "Didn't I tell you? Lady Greya was able to create a new spell because of her own efforts. Mister Rein even tested it himself.
"Maya once told me that Shildeen came to see Greya when she was creating a new spell. He wanted to tell her about your contribution to Greya's creation. Maya told him that your alchemy illusion only inspired Greya to create a new spell, but it wasn't the main reason. "However, even though Maya told him the result of her prophecy, Shildeen, who had been stuck at the path of truth for years, would never give up so easily."
Angor slowly understood that Shildeen would still try to see if his alchemy illusion could help him reach the final step. Therefore, he learned that his music box was being auctioned at the Ancient Beach, and he planned to bid for it. However, according to David, the one who won the bid was Jellal, the Mithril Innovator from the Tower of Hurricane whom he met at Barbie's Restaurant.
Obviously, Shildeen didn't win the bid for the music box, so with his personality, he vented his anger on himself?
Sunders nodded. "Perhaps. But Shildeen should know that you're innocent in this matter."
If Shildeen had a clear mind, he would know that it was not a wise choice to fight against Angor. However, many things could not be explained by reason. Obsession could easily lead to madness, and Sunders agreed with Tree Spirit's advice to keep a distance from Shildeen.
Angor knew this as well, but he wasn't worried. If everything went according to plan, they would leave Brute Cavern and avoid contact with Shildeen.
Even if they had to face Shildeen again, Angor wouldn't be too worried.
While they were talking, Gondola had reached a mountain range far away from the Tree of Eternity.
There was a large amount of gray mist in front of them. Angor could already sense a strong aura of death from it.
"I've sent a message to Ness. Let's enter the Valley of Souls," Sunders said.
Angor nodded and drove the Gondola into the gray mist. As soon as they entered, the scenery in front of them changed. There was no mist blocking their vision. Instead, the sky darkened, and the atmosphere became eerie and deathly still.
At the same time, in this gloomy mountain range, there were countless souls drifting about.
They were all undead souls.
This was Ness' Valley of Souls.
Sunders brought Angor to find Ness because Ness once explored the "Heart of Insects" research site. As for the Heart of the Swarm, it was a legendary wizard who specialized in summoning.
Perhaps Ness knew how to cultivate Amoeba Larvae.
That was why they had come to Nessie.
Angor slowly lowered Gondola into the Valley of Souls. More and more undead souls were gathering around them. Angor wasn't afraid of souls. He wasn't even afraid of evil spirits. However, every time he saw so many souls here, he felt the urge to leave.
It was just that Ness's bad taste was too hard to understand.
All the undead souls in this place were in human form, and they were all naked.
Fortunately, they were afraid of Sunders' aura and didn't dare to approach. Angor followed Sunders into the valley.
