Ignoring Ness, Rhine took a step forward and moved several dozen meters away. His body slowly faded away. As he was about to leave, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the Astral Pool.
As the ripples spread out, a figure slowly rose from the center of the ripples.
When the light faded away, the figure's face was revealed.
The oily skin and naked upper body clearly indicated the identity of the newcomer — Tree Spirit.
Rhine, who was about to leave, slowed down when he saw Tree Spirit.
Inside the Observation Pavilion.
"Why are you back?" Rhine looked at Tree Spirit in confusion. He was about to go find Tree Spirit and Angor when Tree Spirit suddenly came back.
"Angor told me to come find you," said Tree Spirit.
"Is there something urgent?" Rhine frowned. "I'll go take a look now."
"Wait!" Tree Spirit quickly stopped Rhine. "I'm sure there's something else I need to tell you. Let's listen first."
"Actually, I don't know why Angor asked me to bring these things here. He didn't even want to come himself. But since he insisted, I'll follow his wishes," said Tree Spirit as he swept a hand across the table.
Two items appeared on the table.
One was a small, bulging pouch, and the other was a beautifully decorated bone church.
The pouch looked ordinary and did not contain any energy, so it did not attract much attention. On the other hand, everyone recognized that the main material of the church was the bones of the dead. Moreover, the church emitted a dense gloomy aura of death, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"This seems to be an alchemical item that can nourish souls." As a Soul Adept, Ness immediately recognized the truth behind the Bone Church.
Leona added, "There are Runes of Silence engraved on the bottom of the church. They're used to nourish and preserve souls. Also, I think there are souls inside the church? "
Tree Spirit nodded. "This is the Church of the Deceased, an item made by Angor. You can use your spirit feelers to check the room right in front of the window. There's a soul resting there. Remember, don't touch the other souls in there, and don't damage the Church of the Deceased. I'll return it to Angor later. "
Everyone followed Tree Spirit's words and saw the sleeping Reeves in the room.
After a long while, everyone remained silent. Only Rhine and Tree Spirit continued to question Reeves about the matter.
Tree Spirit told him everything he heard from Angor. "Leavis's soul is almost fully recovered, so it's time to wake him up. Angor asked me to bring him here so that Reeves can tell you about the inside of the ruin. "
Rhine pondered for a moment and looked at the gray-haired old man sitting on the other side of the observation pavilion.
"Nessie, wake Reeves up. Be careful not to harm his soul body."
Rhine could have done it himself, but since Nessie was here, it was better to let Nessie, a Soul Adept, do it.
Ness didn't decline and directly used a soul spell to bring Reeves out of the Church of the Deceased.
Following Ness's soft ravings, soul ripples spread into Reeves' spirit body. Reeves, who had been sleeping for three days, slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm … not dead yet?" These were the first words that came out of Reeves' mouth after opening his eyes.
"No, I'm already dead. Is this my soul? But wasn't my soul infected by Mystique? "
Reeves mumbled to himself for a long time before he finally looked around.
When Reeves saw the people around him, he was confused at first. Then, his expression turned joyful, and he calmed down. "Mister Rein, Mister Tree Spirit … Did Angor save my soul and take me away? Where is Angor? "
Tree Spirit replied, "Yes, Angor took you away. He's not here right now. I'll take you to him later. But before that, I hope you can answer a few of my questions. "
Reeves nodded. He knew what they wanted to ask. It was nothing more than what happened in the ruin, and he was willing to tell them.
Time slowly passed as Reeves and the others asked and answered questions.
Half an hour later, Reeves told them all about his experience.
After listening to Reeves' story, everyone's mind was filled with questions.
"There's a fierce red light in the ruin, and there's nowhere to hide? Because of the red light, you'll fall into a strange situation? Is this why you can't get out of the ruin? What's that red light? "
"The crazy woman in the painting, Mystique, seriously injured Reeves with a single strike. What's her background? What level of strength has he reached? "
"Mystique turned Reeves into a scary mushroom and infected his soul. What's that?"
All kinds of questions were raised, but Reeves only knew a little. He could explain what happened before the ruin was invaded by the nightmare creatures, but he didn't know much about what happened after they showed up.
"Looks like we can only get answers from Angor," Wallace said with a serious expression. Wallace's expression was somewhat solemn. What Reeves had said had already made him feel a deep sense of dread. The sense of crisis was like a heavy burden that directly pressed down on their shoulders. But no matter how uneasy they were, they had to figure out what was going on in the ruin.
What was the so-called space expansion all about? What were the nightmare creatures trying to do?
"Mister Rhine, I want to go with you to see Angor," Wallace said.
"I'm coming too," Leona said.
Ness also took the chance to mention that he wanted to go as well.
They didn't know what was going on yet, so they thought it would be fine to let Rhine go first and deliver the message later. But now, Reeves' words made everyone feel a great sense of urgency.
After a moment of silence, Rhine agreed to Wallace and Leona's request. However, he ignored Ness' request again.
Tree Spirit suddenly spoke up while Ness was still trying to act sad. "Let's not go now. Angor has something else to tell you."
As Tree Spirit spoke, he opened another bulging pouch on the table.
Five fine-looking monocles fell out of the pouch.
Leona picked up one of the monocles and asked in confusion, "An alchemy item with some strange power attached to it. However, it was truly unbelievably crude. Did Angor make this? "
Tree Spirit nodded. "Angor made them. He asked you to put them on because he has something to tell you."
But I don't know what it is. "
