Thewis stepped out of thin air.
His bright red hair shone brightly under the sunlight.
However, what was completely different from his flamboyant hair color was his grave and stern face. His temperament was a fusion of hot fire and cold ice. It was full of contradictions, but it was also very noticeable.
Among the crowd, he was definitely the most outstanding one.
Thewis stood still on the soft cloud and looked at Sunders cautiously. Then, he slowly turned around and looked at Angor.
When he saw that Angor was unharmed, he sighed in relief.
When he saw Eureka using the Crimson Crown on Angor, he almost jumped out of his skin. More importantly, the famous Phantom Master was nearby.
Thewis still remembered the look on Sunders' face when he saw Angor being affected by the red light.
Thewis thought Sunders was going to attack Angor at any moment.
Fortunately, Eureka saw Hobson and ran away.
Thewis quickly found Eureka and brought her back to his exile space. Thewis spent the whole night feeling uneasy. Everyone who was affected by the Crimson Crown lost their minds.
He thought Angor would be the same, and he even prepared to fight Sunders.
Fortunately, Angor wasn't hurt.
As Sunders said, things weren't as bad as they seemed.
Thewis wondered why Angor wasn't affected by the Crimson Crown, but it wasn't the right time for that.
Thewis calmed himself down and looked into Sunders' cold eyes. "Mister Phantom."
Sunders gave Thewis a meaningful look. "You know why I'm here, don't you?"
Thewis considered for a moment and nodded.
A while later, they arrived at the ruined main hall of the castle and sat down in front of a long, solemn table. They were all short Krakoks. They worked together to carry the food and drinks to the table.
"I'm the noble Prince of Fibreglass! How dare you ask me to work as a servant?! This is different from the promise you made to me! "
Although that was what he said, the moment Prince Fibber, who had been clamoring outside the door, entered the hall and felt the stagnant atmosphere in the hall, he became as timid as a dog. He obediently carried the fruit plate that was even bigger than his body and jumped onto the table, placing it in front of everyone.
These temporary servants were all summoned by Leon from Grue Town.
Among them, Nano was forcefully dragged over by Canvascan. At first, Nano and Canvascan were completely at odds with each other. Unexpectedly, a few months later, their relationship was much better than expected.
As he pondered, he caught a whiff of a pleasant scent.
"Papa … Young Master Padt, this is a cocoa drink mixed with the sap of the Milkberry Tree." An androgynous but beautiful voice sounded.
He looked back and saw the Moonlily Fairy flapping its wings while carrying a cup several times bigger than itself.
The cup was filled with a thick black liquid.
Angor glanced at the cups in front of everyone. They were all prepared by the Moonlily Fairy, but they were all filled with honey wine brewed by the fairy herself. Only the cocoa drink in front of him was left.
Angor accepted the cup without showing any expression. However, he felt that everyone was looking at him.
"Is Toby back, Mister Padt?" The fairy asked in a tiny voice.
Angor shook his head. "Toby's resting. He can't come out yet."
The fairy left the hall with a disappointed look.
When everyone left the hall, Sunders looked at Thewis. "Brother Angor already told me the basic information, but he only knows a little about it. What do you have to say about this? What exactly happened half a month ago? "
Thewis shook his head. "I still don't know the reason."
"You still don't know what's going on?" Angor frowned. "Isn't the Crimson Crown the cause of all this?"
"I'm sorry for what happened in Padt Manor." Thewis paused for a moment. "You're right. The Crimson Crown is the beginning of everything."
Thewis began to recount the events that had taken place at the time.
It was similar to what Leon told him, but Thewis had a clearer view of the situation.
That night, Eureka had lost her mind for no reason at all. That night in Padt Manor was a long and bloody one for everyone.
Thewis was busy making spirit potions in his space. He only came out when he sensed Soapy's injury.
Eureka had been in the hall when the incident took place.
Leon was fighting against Eureka, and the servants of Padt Manor, as well as Leon's subjects. Soapy, on the other hand, was injured while trying to protect Leon.
If Thewis didn't arrive in time, Eureka would have killed Leon already.
After that, Thewis temporarily subdued Eureka and used her blood essence to create a sealing circle to keep her trapped in the manor. Leon, on the other hand, made arrangements for the servants. The servants affected by the Crimson Crown were locked up in the underground wine cellar. The other servants were sent out of the manor and temporarily arranged to stay in the town.
Angor's expression grew darker as he listened to Thewis' story.
He didn't like the fact that Eureka had taken over Padt Manor in the first place. After learning that Jon had been saved by Eureka, his disgust toward her gradually subsided. Now that he saw Eureka destroying the manor, he couldn't help but think about the people he saw earlier.
When he learned that Leon was almost killed by Eureka in this hall, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer.
"A servant told me that something was wrong with Eureka a long time ago." Angor suppressed his anger and looked at Thewis. "You're not going to tell me that you didn't notice anything, are you?"
Thewis didn't answer.
"So you did notice it, but you didn't do anything about it?" Angor slammed the table. "You know, if you stopped Eureka from doing anything, this wouldn't have happened! It's all because of your inaction! "
Leon's eyes were also tearing up. However, he had been holding back his emotions for a long time because he had to worry about his teacher's lover and his people. Angor's words seemed to be a way for Leon to vent his anger.
In the wizarding world, there was an insurmountable gap between an apprentice and a wizard. Therefore, keeping a low profile and learning the rules was an unspoken rule that every acolyte had to abide by.
If it were any other time, Thewis would have already punished Angor for his disrespect.
However, after witnessing Angor's battle with Eureka yesterday, Thewis had already acknowledged Angor's strength. Plus, Angor's alchemy skills were enough to make Thewis consider Angor an equal. Therefore, Thewis didn't get angry at Angor's question.
Besides, Sunders was right beside them.
Thewis answered calmly. "I did notice Eureka's symptoms a long time ago. Back then, I wasn't sure what caused Eureka's symptoms. I thought it was due to the damage to her psyche ocean. "
That's why I've been trying my best to make spirit recovery potions. "
"Fine. But why didn't you do something about Eureka when you knew she wasn't doing well?"
Thewis didn't answer. Instead, Sunders put a hand on Angor's shoulder.
A gentle energy flowed into Angor's body from Sunders' palm. His emotions, which were on the verge of going out of control, were slowly calmed down.
"There's no 'if' for what happened. Calm down first. " Sunders turned to Thewis. "I have a few questions for you."
"Yes, Mister Phantom?"
"Is the Crimson Crown's effect to drive people insane?"
Thewis shook his head. "I've never used it before, so I don't know the exact effect. But according to Eureka, it can confuse people's minds. "
"Confuse people's minds?" Sunders raised an eyebrow. So it was something similar to Soul Imprint or Mind Stamp.
"There's no doubt that the servants in the cellar were affected by the Crimson Crown's red light. But how did Eureka get affected?"
Although Eureka's symptoms were similar to those of the servants, there was a clear difference between her and Lucien.
The servants were affected by the Crimson Crown in a split second. Eureka, on the other hand, showed signs of her personality change a long time ago. She also went insane, but it was a gradual process.
As Angor said, Eureka couldn't have used the Crimson Crown on herself when she already knew about its effect.
Therefore, this was very strange.
Thewis was also puzzled. "I don't know. The Crimson Crown is too strange. Maybe this Mystery item has some kind of force field that will gradually affect us?"
Thewis' answer was the most likely guess at the moment. But he didn't know the specifics yet.
"If that's the case, why did you leave the Crimson Crown with Eureka?" Angor suddenly asked. "Last night, I saw Eureka take the crown out of her space."
Thewis sighed. "You're wrong. She didn't take it out of her space. She took it out of her body."
"She took the crown into her body?"
Thewis nodded. "That's why I can't take it away from her."
