Reeves' story was not complicated at all.
He came from a wizard family called Purcell Family on Bodard Island. Purcell Family was not the best among all the wizard families in the southern region, but they were still one of the best because they once had a truth-finder magician.
Angor did not know who Reeves was, but he had heard about this magician before — "Mirror of Tides" Yagulo.
Antonio once told Angor about Floating Mech City. According to him, many long-distance teleportation arrays in the city were drawn by Yagulo of Purcell Family.
As a mageweath warlock who was a space-element mageweath warlock, Yagulo could be said to be very popular due to his unparalleled mageweath drawing skills.
However, it was a pity that Yagulo had left the Purcell clan more than a hundred years ago without any warning.
No one knew where he went or if he would come back. A hundred years had passed, and there was still no news about Yagulo. It seemed that he had completely cut off all contact with the Purcell Family.
It was common for wizards to leave and stay in the southern region. For example, the previous leader of Brute Cavern left the southern region after becoming a legend and never came back. Therefore, it was not a rare thing. After all, one had to give up something in order to pursue the truth.
However, this kind of open-mindedness only applied to wizard organizations. Most wizard organizations had powerful successors, such as Mister Rein, who became famous early and whose strength surpassed the current generation. After successfully taking over the position, he did not cause any trouble for thousands of years.
But the Purcell Family was different. Yagulo was the only one who could not be replicated. Previously, the entire family relied on Yagulo to support them. After he left, the family was short of talents, and there was no one who could replace Yagulo.
If it were not for Yagulo's popularity and the long-term contracts he signed with the major wizard organizations, the Purcell Family would have been devoured by others long ago.
In the past hundred years, the Purcell Family barely maintained their status as a first-class family. However, after Yagulo's departure, their influence in the various circles in the southern region was greatly reduced. They also could not get good resources from the outside. The internal pressure and emotions had been piling up for a long time and could explode at any time.
In the midst of internal and external pressure, they urgently needed to change.
Thus, Reeves left the Purcell clan to look for hope.
The so-called hope was either that Reeves would break through to the Truth Knower realm during his travels, or that he would be able to find something useful for the development of the family.
It wasn't easy to step onto the path of truth, not to mention that the resources of Wizard families weren't very good. Reeves' accumulation of knowledge and foundation wasn't stable, so he hadn't made any achievements over the years.
Therefore, he set his sights on the outside world, hoping to obtain things that could help the family develop.
He wanted to find a useful Mystery item, but he had been to many places. He had been to the Devil's Sea and Silver Palm Island, but he had not found a single Mystery item. Just as he was feeling depressed, he received news that a plane fusion would occur in the Parmigi Highlands!
For example, the Fragment of Eternity was the main material of a Sorcerer's Garden. If the family could have a Sorcerer's Garden, it would be a great boost to morale. Even if he couldn't obtain the Fragments of Eternity, he could still find a new subsidiary plane and plunder its materials.
Thus, Reeves had come to the Parmigi Highlands.
Of course, what happened next was a tragedy. The plane fusion failed, and all his hopes were in vain. When Reeves was about to leave the Parmigi Highlands and start his Journey of Hope again, he saw a pool of salt under the starry sky. Under the pool, he could vaguely see a deep tunnel, as well as traces of man-made excavation.
…
Angor listened to Reeves' story and felt sorry for him.
The despair in the name of hope, the despair of coincidence, and true despair were all placed on Reeves's path forward. He could have chosen another path, but he had no choice but to brace himself and move forward as he was shackled by the burden of his family's responsibilities.
However, Angor's sympathy only lasted for a moment. He didn't come here to listen to Reeves' sad story.
"So you're one of the first to enter the ruin?" Angor asked.
Reeves nodded with a self-deprecating expression. "To be exact, I'm the first one to enter the ruin. I always thought that being the first to find gold would bring me more benefits. I never thought that gold would have its own way. "
Angor's eyes lit up when he heard Reeves' answer. The nightmare creatures would only enter the ruin later. Since Leavis was captured by a nightmare creature, it meant that Leavis had been exploring the ruin before the nightmare creatures entered. He might know the secret of the ruin!
"Can you tell me what you saw in the ruin?" Angor suppressed his excitement and asked Reeves.
Reeves' eyes flickered when he heard about the ruin. He slowly lowered his head without saying anything.
"I don't know if you've noticed, but this ruin is very strange. It had already caused several adepts to lose their way before these otherworldly creatures arrived, including you. They never came back after entering the ruin. So, I want to know what's so strange about this ruin? "Angor asked.
Reeves looked up. "You … You became a wizard in such a short time. You're a genius. I also heard that your alchemy skills are even better than mine. Since you have such great achievements and a bright future ahead of you, why did you come to this ruin? "
"Not long ago, I was at the entrance of the ruin and was about to leave. However, I encountered a situation … I accidentally fell into this place. "
Angor briefly told Reeves the information he knew.
Reeves looked at Angor in silence. "I don't know if you're telling the truth. You saw the Mystic Lady in your story … She's a terrifying lunatic. I can't believe that you could escape from her and move freely in this area.
"However, I just saw the Mystic Gold Lady fly back to her territory, so even if your words are ridiculous, there seems to be some truth in it."
But it doesn't matter if you're lying or not. I'm not far from death, so I don't mind telling you some things. At least you're still a human. "
Angor could understand Reeves' suspicions, but there were some things Reeves said that bothered Angor.
"I didn't come here to save you, but since I found you, I'll do my best to save you." This was Angor's response to Reeves' words about his imminent death.
Reeves shook his head. "I know my situation better than you. I'm destined to die. There's no saving me. Even my soul will be trapped here forever. "
