A creature wearing leather shoes.
Logically speaking, it should be a human or a humanoid. However, nightmare creatures did not follow logic. The frog chanter and the fox harpsichord were mutants that could walk upright and dress up neatly. Therefore, it was difficult to determine the identity of the creature in the leather shoes without seeing its true appearance.
"Did you find anything from reading the emotions?" Sunders asked Angor.
Angor replied, "Most of them are vague and incomplete, so it's pointless to decipher them. However, among all these useless emotions, there is one coherent emotion that is very special. "
Angor told Sunders about the information he sensed.
"Minister. Arrival. Repair." Sunders repeated the words in a low voice and fell into deep thought.
"Literally speaking, a minister from the Nightmare Realm has arrived." Angor frowned. "I don't know if it's his real body or just an envoy. If it's the former, I have a bad feeling about it. "
Sunders' expression turned serious. "Nightmare creatures have a strong sense of hierarchy. If we include the official position, combined with my previous speculation, the minister must be quite powerful. In fact, it's very likely that it's above the legendary level. "
Angor already knew that a minister was strong, but he did not expect Sunders to say that it was above legendary. Angor wondered if the world's consciousness would allow such a creature to enter the wizarding world so easily.
Sunders quickly answered Angor's question.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a semi-passage in the ruin, which means it's already a demiplane. A demiplane is a gap between the Nightmare Realm and the real world. The world's consciousness is not the supreme ruler, so as long as it doesn't invade the real world, it's possible for a legendary creature to appear in a demiplane. "
Sunders paused. "There's one more thing. Basically, all nightmare creatures who enter the wizarding world, even if they're in the gap, will lose a lot of strength. So, a minister might be above legendary in the Nightmare Realm, but it's not as strong in the real world. "
However, these two guesses were just guesses. Sunders could not confirm the level of the monster's current strength. But in the Nightmare Realm, a minister was definitely above a legendary battle pet warrior.
Think about it. There were already legendary creatures outside the Nightmare Realm. The place where Greya's body was missing was filled with legendary creatures.
A creature from the core area of the Nightmare Realm was at the level of a minister.
Brute Cavern would be in grave danger if a grand vizier who was stronger than a legendary creature showed up in the ruins.
"Let's hope it's just a messenger like last time in Sleepless City," Angor muttered.
Sunders didn't look happy either. Their guesses about ministers were just the fantasies of low-level people. This kind of fantasy was always an unequal blind guess. Just like how summer insects couldn't talk about ice, all guesses were in vain. Perhaps, ministers were more powerful than they had imagined, and they could ignore the rules of the world even more.
Thinking of this, the atmosphere became slightly heavy.
"Back at the Twilight Auction, the toy owl named Olga mentioned something about the ministers. Among them, Minister Mana seemed to be in charge of supervision, while Minister Gollan liked to give speeches. Other than that, I also know of another minister, the owner of the spotted dog in Sleepless City. His name is Minister Tim. "
"If it really is a minister, will it be one of the three?"
Sunders shook his head. No one knew the answer to that. Among the three known ministers, none of them had revealed their strength. However, Minister Tim's spotted dog was a mysterious living creature. Even in the Source World, this was probably a legend. To be able to become the owner of a spotted dog, Minister Tim's strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
"Is the owner of the shoes a minister?" Angor asked.
"I don't think so. If it really is a minister, he'll come out to meet you." Sunders shook his head. In his opinion, the owner of the shoes was much weaker than Shava, which was why he didn't dare to appear in Angor's sight. Back in Midnight Sovereign, the parasites in Darkivil Empire would all avoid Angor and only "praise Shava" from afar. That was why Shava was so important to them.
However, even if the owner of the shoes wasn't a minister, Sunders still couldn't let his guard down. This was because the sense of danger he felt when he saw the pair of leather shoes was still lingering in his heart.
If the ruin was filled with creatures of this level, he couldn't imagine how dangerous it would be.
Sunders stood in the pavilion and looked at the glittering Star Pool in the distance with a worried look.
"Since you're done with your first exploration, tell Mister Rein and the others to come back first. We'll discuss the rest later."
The Star Pool seemed peaceful at the moment, but no one could tell when it would change. For safety's sake, Sunders didn't want the three guardians to leave the place for too long.
Now that Angor had found some clues, it was time for them to come back.
About ten minutes later, the three guardians returned to the three observation pavilions. Rein and Tree Spirit also showed up, but Ness and Filo didn't follow them.
"Minister? Arrival? Repair?" Rein frowned as if he was thinking about something.
At the same time, the guardians in the other two observation pavilions were also observing the situation.
Iron Granny's expression became serious. She seemed to have thought of something.
Old Wallace didn't look too good either. He didn't know what a "minister" meant, but his intuition told him that something was wrong.
"Next time, if you want to enter the ruin again, tell me in advance." Tree Spirit pretended to scold Sunders and went straight to the point. "Let's forget about the shoes and the identity of the minister. The most important one is the last word."
"Repair." Tree Spirit repeated the word in a serious tone. "What are they trying to repair? Did the "minister" come here just to repair it? "
"Repair means to restore the original state. In other words, they're trying to repair and improve something that already exists. I have a theory. Maybe they're trying to repair something that already existed in the ruin. "
