The person who came out of the illusory barrier and was covered in a black cloak was Duncan. An Occult Summoner who specialized in bone summoning. His nickname was "Ghost Whisperer".
When Duncan saw the staff in Tree Spirit's hand, he quickly put away his angry expression and stopped looking at it as if it didn't exist.
"Mister Tree Spirit, why are you here?"
"I'm bringing —" Tree Spirit was about to say Angor's name, but he quickly changed his mind. "I'm bringing a wizard who knows a thing or two about ruins."
Tree Spirit glanced at Duncan. "Rein will inform you if I'm not mistaken. But if you're lazy, you probably won't get the message. "
Duncan ignored Tree Spirit's words. The ruin wasn't going to explode yet. He was just taking a break. How was that lazy? Of course, he couldn't say that out loud. His staff was still in Tree Spirit's hands.
Duncan didn't say anything, which meant he accepted Tree Spirit's suggestion. He then looked at the man beside Tree Spirit.
It was a middle-aged man with red hair and golden eyes. From his eyes to his posture, he looked lazy.
Judging from the energy waves he was releasing, he was a formal wizard. However, in Duncan's memories, he could not find any Magus that matched the appearance of this man.
He was either a wandering wizard or someone who changed his appearance.
Of course, Duncan couldn't recognize all wizards. But someone who was brought here by Tree Spirit and named by Rein couldn't be an ordinary wizard. In Duncan's mind, the man must be someone famous. Since he couldn't find anyone who looked like him, there were only two possibilities.
Duncan had his own guesses, but he didn't say them out loud. No matter which one it was, he was brought here by Tree Spirit, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Duncan took off his cloak and nodded at Angor.
Duncan was a middle-aged man with a gray beard. His expression was cold, and there was no warmth in his eyes. At first glance, he looked like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin.
Duncan nodded to greet Angor. He wanted to hear what Angor had to say. According to etiquette, he should at least introduce himself. Seeing that Angor didn't say anything, Duncan felt a little suspicious. But he didn't show it on his face. He only narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
"I'll bring you in."
Although Tree Spirit knew the way, Duncan still took the initiative to lead the way. He knew Tree Spirit too well. Tree Spirit was a person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Furthermore, he would never cross the line. If he wanted the staff back, Tree Spirit would nag at him even if he gave it to him, so he might as well admit defeat and shut Tree Spirit up with his actions.
Duncan did not mention anything about the staff from the beginning to the end. He also dutifully talked about the recent situation of the ruins along the way, which indeed touched the soft spot of Tree Spirit. When Duncan brought them to the ruins, the Tree Spirit returned the staff to Duncan without any complaints, as Duncan had expected.
"It's time for you to change your magic wand. The energy on it can no longer support too much death aura. If you use all your strength, this magic wand will be destroyed in a year or two at most," Tree Spirit suggested sincerely after throwing the magic wand back to Duncan.
Duncan shrugged. "I know. I heard Wizard Padt is going back to Brute Cavern. I'll ask him to help me when he comes back. As for now, we'll just have to make do with it.
"I'll take my leave now. I'll keep watching the perimeter." Duncan bowed to Tree Spirit and nodded to Angor before he turned to leave.
Angor looked at Duncan's departing figure and suddenly remembered something.
He didn't have much contact with Duncan. The only time they talked was when he brought the three Krakoks to meet their teacher, and Duncan was one of them.
Duncan was Rococo's teacher.
Among the three Krakoks, Lococo was the one with the highest talent. However, due to the obvious flaws in her personality, Angor didn't have much of an impression of her.
But when he thought about Rococo, he immediately thought of the other two Krakoks — Papaya and Kudou.
Angor wasn't worried about Papaya. She was a woman who had a clear goal in mind. He was thinking about Kudou Dou, the seemingly honest young man he met before.
Before he came back from Floating Mech City, Kudodo's teacher, Leona, mentioned that Kudodo had been in a negative state for a long time. He had almost completely lost the will to cultivate, and now he couldn't even cast a beginner's spell.
Angor promised Leona that he would go and check on Kudou after he returned to Brute Cavern.
However, he forgot about Kudou because he was too busy to do so.
"Angor?" Tree Spirit's voice reached Angor's ears. "What are you thinking about? When will Duncan ask you to do his alchemy? "
Angor shook his head. "I'm just thinking about Rococo."
"Rococo? Duncan's student. That little guy is very talented. I remember that he has already learned several magic tricks. However, her personality was too introverted and shy. She was unwilling to expand her social circle and was not decisive in doing things … Well, you couldn't say that. Actually, she also had some stubbornness. She wanted the first creature she summoned to be a pig. That's why she hasn't done a proper summoning ritual yet. " Tree Spirit sighed. "I don't know what she's thinking. Why does she want to summon a pig?"
Angor knew why Lococo was obsessed with pigs. Lococo's deceased grandmother used to tell her a story called Flying Pig Man, in which the main character was a flying pig.
When Lococo was testing her talent, the phenomenon she saw was also a little flying pig with a red cloak and a golden body.
It could be seen that Lococo's obsession with pigs was pardonable.
"Do you know what's going on with Papaya and Kudou, Mister Tree Spirit?" Angor asked.
"Papaya is training, isn't she? Kudou … That kid is strange. He's never focused on training, but he's been going out on missions with several teams recently. Is he trying to save money?"
Tree Spirit didn't know what was going on with Kudou. But compared to Papaya and Rococo, the only male Krakok was much weaker.
Angor was even more puzzled by Tree Spirit's words. "I guess I'll have to pay Kudou a visit later."
Kudou, Rococo, and Rococo were all apprentices to different teachers, but they were still related to Angor in some way. Just like how Dodoro was related to Angor, they were Angor's social circle. This was why Leona told Angor about Kudou and asked him to pay Kudou a visit.
Tree Spirit said, "Let's not talk about anything else. We're already at the entrance of the ruins. Let's go in."
