In order to get there as soon as possible, Angor didn't linger in White Cloud Village for too long. He quickly disappeared from the palace on top of Wind Island.
Angor planned to visit his wind followers on the second day, but he gave up on that idea and headed to White Cloud Bay.
He didn't care about the strange looks the wind creatures were giving him. Instead, he told Lobel that he might not be around for a while, and that all wind creatures should listen to Mister Rein until they meet again.
With that, Angor left Wind Island with only Speedy, who was the fastest among them.
Angor planned to use a plane passageway to return to the Land of Revelation, but he didn't think it would be a waste. The materials he needed to open a plane passageway were more than enough to buy a Special Undead. Even if Special Undead were rare, it was more than enough to buy a piece of information.
Opening a plane passageway just for Torras's soul trick wasn't worth it.
Besides, they weren't far from the exit of Tidal Realm. After leaving Tidal Realm, they would arrive at the Old Earth, which was quite close to the Land of Revelation.
If they traveled at full speed, they should be able to reach their destination in no time.
After weighing the pros and cons, Angor decided not to use a plane passageway.
Since Angor had the sequence of gravity and Toby's Phantom Gate, Speedy could still carry them at full speed when they weren't using their powers.
Under such circumstances, they traveled as fast as they could.
It only took them one and a half days to reach the Fire Zone from White Cloud Village.
After leaving Tidal Realm, Angor opened a Phantom Gate and teleported to the outskirts of Sangbia, the capital of Goldspink Empire.
Next was the journey from the Old Earth to the Land of Revelation. During the journey, Freud also reported to him that the farmer's ghost had not shown up in the past two days, nor had he gone up the mountain. No one knew where he went. Some knights even suspected that the farm owner had already left. However, as a soul, Freud was more sensitive to death aura. He could still sense a large amount of death aura around the forest factory.
It should still be nearby, but for some unknown reason, it had hidden itself. Perhaps they were waiting for a better opportunity to attack Star Lake Castle in one fell swoop.
This was like the calm before the storm. It seemed peaceful and worry-free, but for Neya's group, the atmosphere was extremely stifling.
Still, it was good news for him.
No matter what the spirit of the farm owner wanted to do, if he wanted to stall for time, then so be it. It would be best if he could stall for time until they arrived.
Everything was peaceful on his way. The only thing that gave him a headache was Dankros.
When he left White Cloud Village, he also took Dankros with him. Since he was going to leave the Fire Zone anyway, he might as well bring Dankros back with him so that Magoo wouldn't worry about him.
But to his surprise, Dankros insisted on taking Angor with him, saying that he wanted to broaden his horizons.
At first, Angor didn't agree. However, Dankros insisted on it. Plus, Dankros had been restraining himself a lot lately, so Angor decided to accept the offer after thinking for a long time.
Just take it as an eye-opener in advance.
After all, other than using Dankros as a living map, Wise Man Magoo had also hoped that he could broaden Dankros' horizons and prevent him from falling into a small quagmire.
When Dankros returned to the Land of Fire, he would have more information to tell Magoo the Wise.
Therefore, Angor decided to take Dankros with him. To Angor's surprise, Dankros was so excited after leaving the Tide Realm that he was surprised by everything he saw.
Dankros' eyes lit up when he saw a city and asked Angor to take him for a tour.
Angor could only fool him by telling him that he would take him to a human city when he was done with his important business. Star Lake Castle was already very close to Saint Sem City, which was a famous city of art. Even Mister Feng once lived there for a long time. The atmosphere of the city was unique among all the cities Angor had ever seen. Angor decided to take Dankros to Saint Sem City later.
Dankros finally gave up his interest after receiving the promise. However, he did not stop talking. He kept asking questions about everything he saw, such as cities, buildings, smoke, cruise ships … Angor kept explaining to Dankros the meanings of all kinds of terms.
About a day later, Angor finally arrived at the Land of Revelation with Dankros, who was still talking non-stop.
…
It was late autumn. Night came earlier than usual.
Although there was still a bit of afterglow from the setting sun, the nearby sky was already dark blue with a hint of darkness. Star Lake Castle was also brightly lit up.
In the past, the Star Lake Castle was very cold and cheerless. But on this day, even though it was nearing night time, the Star Lake Castle was still very lively.
The knights in armor and iron boots walked on the smooth floor, making clanking sounds. And there was more than one of them. The footsteps in the hall were so loud that they almost sounded like musical notes.
The knights were all carrying various items and moving them out of Star Lake Castle.
Angor took a closer look and saw that the items were all covered with a red carpet. It was as if they were hiding something forbidden and didn't want people to see them.
But little Sam knew that there was nothing precious under the red carpet. It was just a mirror.
The mirrors of various sizes in the Star Lake Castle were all wrapped up and handed over to the knights to take away.
The noise was so loud that even little Sam, who was immersed in Soul Notes, was woken up by the noise.
"Where are they taking the mirrors, Grandpa Drew?" Sam asked an old man who was in charge of the knights. He remembered that the old man with gold-chained glasses was called Drew.
Drew looked at Sam who was walking down the stairs and smiled gently. "Take them outside first. We'll replace them with new ones in a few days."
"Why? They're not broken, are they?"
"They're afraid that … they'll get dirty."
Are you afraid of getting dirty? Little Sam looked at Drew in confusion, hoping for further explanation. But Drew only smiled and didn't say anything.
Sam didn't want to ask further. He only knew Drew's name, and they weren't close.
He could only change the topic. "Grandpa Drew, did you see Alda or Young Master Tisson?"
"I don't know about Alda. But Mister Dison went down the mountain."
Sam had no choice but to give up. He looked at the knights who were leaving with the mirrors and sighed helplessly. He shook his head and went upstairs to return to his room.
The moment he opened the door, Sam suddenly paused.
"I don't remember turning off the oil lamp when I left." Sam looked inside the room confusedly.
It was so dark inside that he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only vaguely see the outline of some furniture.
The cold wind was blowing into the hallway.
"I didn't close the window?" Sam felt the cold wind and was confused again. He was about to step into the darkness, but now he retracted his foot.
He felt that something was wrong.
Although he had yet to become an official acolyte, with his understanding of the Transcendent World and his understanding of his own innate talent, his memory had greatly improved.
At least, he could remember everything that happened a few minutes ago.
In particular, before he left the room, he was sitting at the table by the window, reading Soul Transcripts while he lit the oil lamp. He knew clearly whether the oil lamp was turned off or the window was closed.
"Did someone enter my room?" Sam wondered. Otherwise, why would the oil lamp be turned off and the window open?
"Did the knights do it? But didn't the knights take away all the mirrors in the room? Why did they go in again? "
"Is Alda playing a prank?" It didn't seem like it. It was possible that Sunny was playing a prank, because Alda rarely did that kind of thing. Besides, Alda was very close to Sam, so there was no reason for Alda to scare him.
Sam looked at the darkness in front of him and hesitated whether he should go in or not.
While Sam was hesitating, footsteps came from the corridor next to him.
Young Sam looked back and saw Drew and several knights coming up from the stairs around the corner.
Drew ordered the knight to check if there were any mirrors in different rooms. Then, he walked towards Little Sam.
"You look serious. What's wrong?" Drew had been practicing cultivation for more than 70 years. Although he had reached a bottleneck, he was better at reading people's facial expressions. He walked to Sam because he felt something was wrong with Sam's eyes.
Sam hesitated for a second and said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel like someone has been in my room."
Young Sam spoke out his conjecture and judgment.
"Oh, I see. Let me ask you whether a knight forgot to tell me about your room." Although Drew replied with a smile superficially, he became alert inside at once.
He knew very well that the target of the rampaging spirit was Little Sam.
Although he didn't feel anything wrong at the moment, it was a critical moment now, and Little Sam was a big deal.
In order to avoid missing anything, he immediately called a few knights over and asked them about it.
However, the knights who were responsible for searching this floor all denied that they had entered Sam's room.
Did the ghost really have something to do with it? But it was still at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain was full of defensive lines. How did it get in?
Drew had some doubts, but he didn't have any proof. He needed to go into the room.
For the sake of caution, Drew ordered three powerful knights to go in and check it out first.
The three knights in light armor carried an oil lamp and walked into the dark room.
After a while, the room lit up.
Sam looked inside and saw that the three knights had already lit up all the kerosene lamps in the room, and they seemed to be searching for something nearby.
After a while, they came out and reported to Drew, "We didn't find anything. The window was open, but we didn't find any trace of human activity. It might have been blown open by the wind."
Drew turned to Sam, "Didn't you lock the latch of the window?"
Sam thought for a while and became a bit embarrassed, "I think so …"
After getting the confirmation, Drew let out a sigh of relief. It seemed to be a false alarm.
However, just in case, Drew still went in personally. He carefully sensed for a while and found nothing wrong. The wind was indeed very strong tonight. The castle was close to the lake, so it was normal for the wind to blow open the window.
The oil lamp on the table was facing the window, so it was normal for the wind to blow out the oil lamp.
After making sure there was no mistake, Drew came out.
Little Sam was a little embarrassed at this time. He felt that he was making a fuss over some insignificant details. After thanking Drew and the knights, Sam went back into the room with a blushing face.
The room was brightly lit, and there was no evil in it.
The "Soul Records" on the table was also open. The window was not closed yet, and the cool night breeze blew the pages of the book nonstop.
Sam hurried over, closed the glass window, and plugged the latch.
The moment he closed the window, the pages of "Soul Transcripts" on the table finally stopped flipping, coincidentally stopping on a page.
There was an illustration on this page. It was a full-length mirror with ornate carvings. There was a ghostly figure with scarlet eyes in it.
When Sam closed the window and turned around, he saw the illustration.
"Well, I remember that this is a special undead book …" Only special undead books had illustrations. Sam found the prototype of Mrs. Shila, who had turned into a spider undead, in the Soul Transcript.
Sam curiously looked over and wanted to see the words next to the illustration.
However, when he came to the table, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone was staring at him from behind.
However, behind him was the wall and the window.
Outside the window, there was no balcony, and there was no place to stand. How could someone stare at him?
Was it an illusion?
Sam wanted to turn around and see what was going on, but a sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart.
Previously, when he was outside the door and looked at the dark room, he had a similar feeling. Later, Knight and Drew both proved that the room was normal. Now, the same sense of danger came again, and Sam thought that he might be too paranoid.
Thinking of this, Little Sam ignored the omen in his heart and turned around.
Then, he saw a face.
It was a ghost face with red eyes reflected on the glass window.
Sam's eyes widened. This face … This face was too familiar to him …
It was the owner of Shengxiang Farm!
He was also the one who had ended Little Sam's life.
He was already dead, and he was killed by Sam. How could he appear here?
Sam felt that his brain had stopped working, and he kept stepping back. However, because he didn't notice the corner of the table, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
When Sam raised his head again, the face in the window had disappeared.
"Was it an illusion?"
While Sam was thinking about this, he heard a weird rustling sound behind him …
