"It's you," Angor muttered as he sensed the familiar ripple coming from the spirit feelers.
Angor's action caused the other Voidtravelers to take a few steps back out of fear.
Angor frowned but didn't say anything.
When the Voidtravelers finally calmed down, Angor spoke again, "Let's talk inside, shall we?"
With that, he pushed open the door of the vine house and tried to talk to the special Void Traveler alone. However, when he opened the door, some of the Void Travelers backed away in fear.
These Voidtravelers were more cautious and cowardly than Angor expected.
Only the enlarged version of the Void Traveler appeared relatively calm.
"Or do you want to talk to me here?"
The giant Voidtraveler considered for a moment and sent out a spirit ripple. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Angor was about to say something when he felt a gentle breeze blowing past him. He looked back and saw the special Voidtraveler already inside the house.
Angor didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly exclaiming in his mind. He always knew that Voidtravelers were fast. After all, even regular Voidtravelers could escape from Rein and Iron Granny, let alone this special Voidtraveler. Even though he already had an idea, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
The Voidtraveler was so fast that it was terrifying.
Angor took a deep breath and nodded. He then spoke to Toby, "You stay outside. Don't scare them."
Toby seemed to understand the Voidtraveler's behavior. Instead of responding with a chirp, Toby nodded at Angor. However, even such a small movement was enough to make the Voidtravelers in Cloud Garden cower a little.
Angor believed that Toby knew what to do, so he didn't say anything else. He didn't want to scare the Voidwalkers again.
Angor closed the door of the house.
Angor and the special Voidtraveler sat down opposite each other.
Angor planned to set up a barrier to prevent sound from leaking out. However, since the Voidtraveler couldn't talk, it had to rely on spirit ripples to communicate.
"Let me introduce myself first. I'm Angor Padt. How should I address you?"
"Names aren't important in our race. We all know who's who, and we'll never get it wrong."
Angor raised an eyebrow. "But I'm not from your race."
A hesitant spirit ripple reached him. "Alright. If you must have a name, you can call me … woof woof."
Woof woof? This word had no meaning in the common language of the wizarding world. It was an onomatopoeic word that generally referred to a dog's bark.
"Nice name." Angor didn't mean it.. woof.
Woof did not send him any message, but Angor could tell that Woof was pleased by his compliment.
"Mr. Woof, or Ms. Woof, can you tell me why it's called 'woof woof'?" Angor asked in a soft voice. "Woof woof" referred to a dog's bark, which bothered Angor.
There were no dogs in the void … Well, there shouldn't be any.
So how did Woof come up with this name? Angor had an idea, and he needed to verify it.
"We don't have a gender. If you must, you can call me 'Madam' or 'Mister'." Woof paused for a moment and continued, "That's what 'that' person called me. If you want to know my name, you can call me 'that'."
"That person?" Angor narrowed his eyes and pointed at the air.
An illusion suddenly appeared between them.
It was a cute and adorable Dalmatian puppy. However, its cuteness was just a disguise. In fact, it was an unknown level, a living mysterious creature with a high degree of danger.
The owner of the puppy was Tim, the famous Minister of Arms in the Nightmare Realm.
"Is that it?" Angor asked.
Woof nodded. "Yes."
Angor pursed his lips. He already had an idea, but he still couldn't help but chuckle when the truth came out. He wondered if he should tell Woof that it wasn't the puppy's name. It was just a meaningless bark.
Seeing Woof's pride and approval of the name, Angor decided against it. Ignorance was bliss.
After exchanging names, Angor finally got to the point.
"You were the one who kept looking at me from the void, weren't you? Why did you do that? " Angor was curious about the relationship between Woof and the puppy, but he still decided to start with the main topic.
"We just wanted to find you."
According to Wang Wang, they were only trying to find Angor's location. However, since Angor was always on the move, they had to check his location several times to find out where he was.
"How did you determine my location?" He wondered if there was some kind of mark left on him that allowed these Voidwalkers to locate him even though he was so far away.
"We can sense the general location of other creatures through their auras. This is also how we can escape from the predation of the Liani Demon Whale in the void. I've remembered your aura since the first time I saw you. " Woof paused for a moment and continued, "But we can only vaguely sense your location. We can't pinpoint your exact location. The reason we were able to lock onto your position was because we obtained this. "
While speaking, Woof spat out something small from its mouth.
Angor took a closer look and saw that it was a strand of golden hair.
As soon as he saw it, he was sure that it was his hair.
His hair was in Woof's hands. Angor frowned in confusion.
Ever since he stepped on the path of wizardry, Sunders had warned him that the first thing he needed to do to survive in the wizarding world was to control himself well. Sometimes, a piece of your fingernail or a strand of your hair could become a medium for other wizards to curse you.
Angor took Sunders' warning seriously. He was very strict about his own physiology. Not to mention his body fluid, even his pheromones had to be removed if there were no special circumstances.
Angor was quite curious about the strand of hair in Woof's mouth.
The last time he lost his hair was when he was still an apprentice. His hair was burned by the Fire Spirit in Silent Hill. Also, Bogula, who was obsessed with "blond hair", was looking for him, so Angor simply asked for his hair to be shaved.
Back then, Angor had already dealt with his shaved hair, so it shouldn't be left behind.
But when did Woof get that strand of hair? And where did it get it from?
"It's yours. Master gave it to me." Woof Woof answered before Angor could ask.
When Wang Wang mentioned "Lord", he pointed at the illusion of the spotted dog in the air.
"The puppy gave you my hair?" Angor asked again.
"Yes." Woof nodded.
Angor was puzzled. If Dalmatian gave it to Woof, where did Dalmatian get his hair from?
Angor didn't remember the puppy ever pulling his hair … Wait, wait.
As far as he could remember, Dalmatian had never pulled his hair before. But Dalmatian did swallow him whole back in Sleepless City.
Back then, Angor saw all kinds of Mystery signs in the puppy's stomach, which helped him create the manifestation of Mystery.
Angor fainted when he was in the puppy's stomach.
If the puppy pulled his hair while he was unconscious, Angor wouldn't know.
Besides, Angor wasn't sure if the puppy only pulled his hair. Did it get his body fluid as well?
Angor recalled the banquet held by Nuka at the Mushroom Garden in Xinnai's Land. At that time, the puppy showed up from the Nightmare Realm without warning. Angor wondered why the puppy suddenly showed up at that time.
Could it be that because his body hair was in the dalmatian's hands, the dalmatian sensed that he was coming and thus descended?
It was only a guess, and Angor was being overly confident. However, it was a fact that his hair was in the puppy's hands. Perhaps, his guess might actually be correct.
"Damn it! Taking advantage of me!" Angor cursed in his mind. He was angry, but he still calmed down when he remembered that the puppy had helped him several times.
Woof Woof did not know what Angor was thinking. He continued, "With your hair, we can sense your location more clearly. We followed your trail and found this place in no time."
"I want to know when the puppy gave you my hair. Was it when it let you go at Seething Gentleman's place? "
Woof shook his head. "No."
"Not that time?" Angor raised his voice a little. "You met again after that? Didn't it go back to the Nightmare Realm? "
Did the puppy sneak out of the Nightmare Realm again?
"Sir summoned me, so I went." Woof answered. "Yes." Woof nodded.
However, the answer only confused him even more.
"You can go to the Nightmare Realm?" Angor was surprised.
"If the Nightmare Realm is the strange world you live in, sir, I can go there," Woof answered seriously.
"Since you've been to the Dalmatian world, can you tell me what it's like?"
Woof considered and didn't refuse.
Following Woof's description, strange scenes appeared in Angor's mind.
Woof went to the puppy's territory directly because of its summon. He didn't go to other places, but Woof already saw many strange things in the puppy's castle.
Air that turned into puppet sounds when inhaled, rain clouds that cried and dropped plushies, statues that moved their heads on their own, headless cat girls that danced …
From Wang Wang's point of view, each of these seemingly absurd and unruly things actually possessed extremely terrifying energy fluctuations. Especially the headless cat girl who could dance. Just the aura she exuded was enough to make it unable to move.
It must be noted that the Void Traveler didn't even bat an eye at Rein and Iron Granny's aura. In the face of Boiling Gentleman, the group of Void Travelers could even join forces to resist.
Besides, Woof was even stronger than the other Voidtravelers, which meant he was even more immune to auras. However, even Woof was unable to move when facing the dancing headless cat girl. One could only imagine how strong the creature was.
Perhaps a legendary? Or even higher.
There were many strange creatures similar to the headless cat girl in the Dalmatian's territory. Woof didn't see it with his own eyes, but he sensed the aura.
Even if Woof Woof was bolder than other Void Travelers, it was not by much. In the face of such a terrifying thing, it did not dare to act rashly. After meeting the spotted dog, it hurriedly left that strange world.
After listening to Woof's story, Angor was sure that Woof had gone to the Nightmare Realm. Angor couldn't think of any other place other than the Nightmare Realm.
"How did you —" Angor looked up and was about to ask another question when he saw Woof trembling violently. Woof's soft "snot-like body" was also trembling.
"What are you doing?"
Angor asked Woof. Woof was scared. Just the memory of what happened back then was enough to make the dog shiver.
Woof woof: "That dancing headless cat girl is so scary …"
Angor considered for a moment before saying, "That's not the scariest thing. Think about whose territory you're in."
Woof was taken aback. "You're right. The scariest thing is … that mister."
Woof looked at the puppy's image in the air and was a little distracted.
"Don't think about it. Let's continue." Angor woke Woof up. "Can you tell me how you got to the Nightmare Realm? Is it your ability, or something else? "
Wang Wang pondered for a long while before replying with a mental wave, "I can follow the aura to determine the target's location and travel through the void."
Travel through space?! It wasn't that he had never heard of such abilities before. However, they were usually the unique abilities of those terrifying void creatures. These creatures had mountain-sized bodies and unimaginably thick shells, which allowed them to travel through the void. Otherwise, there were too many unpredictable disasters in the void, which made it impossible for ordinary creatures to travel through space.
But Woof wasn't strong at all. How could it have such an ability?
"Is it your own ability? Or do all Voidtravelers have similar abilities?"
