It was a silver-haired man who was standing on a giant ray.
"Sorcerer Big Fish" Sliv.
Angor once had a close encounter with this wizard from Song of the Deep, which left a terrible impression on him.
Back then, Angor was still an apprentice who returned to the Old Earth from Brute Cavern in order to save Jon. On his way back, he found Lucas' Logbook and slowly found his way to the Mystery space at Silver Palm Isle.
Angor did see the Mystery item in the abandoned space, but he failed to recognize the item due to his poor eyesight.
Still, Angor did enter the space and left some traces behind, which were already suspicious. Coincidentally, Angor also happened to find the Dream Whelk from Freud, which caused Jebra to suspect Angor.
Sliv heard from Jebra that Angor might have something to do with the mysterious man who went missing at Silver Palm Isle. He suspected that Angor had taken away the Mystery item, so he quickly located Angor's location.
In the end, Sliv gave up on killing Angor because of the Dream Whelk and the threat of Sunders' essence blood. However, Angor still felt angry and frustrated about what happened to Sliv.
Because of this, Angor had a terrible impression of this wizard from Song of the Deep.
Last time, and this time, it would be the same. As long as there was a Mystery item, Angor would never miss it.
But this time, it was different from the last time. No one knew what the consequences of the birth of an object out of order would be. Would he be as lucky as last time? Would he be able to leave safely?
Angor glanced at Sliv for a second before he looked away and ignored him.
The only thing he could do for these people who had come after hearing the news was to say, "Good luck to you."
He might not be able to stay safe even if he was standing next to the watchers, let alone these greedy people.
Besides, he didn't know any of these people. Even if they stayed here forever, what did it have to do with him?
When Angor moved his gaze away from Sliv, Sliv sensed something and quickly looked ahead.
However, other than the surging waves of the Blood Sea, he could not see anything else.
"Bicky, am I hallucinating or am I hallucinating?" Sliv mumbled.
"Bicky", the giant ray under his feet, did not give an answer.
Sliv lowered his head and looked at Becky in confusion. Becky's body was trembling.
Sliv could tell that Becky was not trembling because of fear, but because she was excited. It was as if there was something in front of it that was evoking its inner desire, attracting it forward.
Sliv sensed something not long after he entered the mist zone. The deeper he went, the stronger the attraction force became. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that this attraction force was definitely abnormal.
That was why Sliv stopped at a far distance away from where he was.
Personally, he believed that the current coordinates were not far from the core, and the attractive force was also within a range that could be restrained. It should be a good location.
However, he neglected a problem.
This attraction was completely different for humans and sea beasts.
Sliv could hold himself back because the Mystery Fruit did not affect humans too much. After all, there were only a few humans around. Humans could not make up for the lack of ripening Mystery Fruit, but sea beasts could.
Therefore, the attraction force of sea beasts was much greater than that of humans.
Bicky was Sliv's mount, but it was undeniable that it was also a sea monster. And a very powerful one at that.
The stronger a sea beast was, the stronger the attraction force.
Even Sliv, as the master of Bicky, felt that he was losing control of the beast.
Under such circumstances, Sliv naturally forgot about the feeling that someone was watching him. Perhaps it was just an illusion.
…
As time passed, more and more wizards showed up in the mist zone.
Even with the mist blocking his sight, he could still see a large number of shadows when he turned around. Every single one of these figures represented the pillars of the Southern Region's Adept World.
He didn't know if there were any of his friends among them.
It would be best if there were none. Even if there were, he could not help them right now unless he turned around and left. But that was not a realistic option.
So, he had to pray for his own safety.
Most of the wizards who came to the mist zone were standing at the back. They could only see tiny dots in the mist.
It was not that they did not want to, but they could not. For one thing, the attraction force would only get stronger as they got closer to the center. For another, wizards were not stupid. They did not know what was going on, and it would be dangerous for them to approach recklessly. The safest way was to observe the situation from a place where the attraction force could be controlled and decide what to do next.
However, while there were conservative wizards, there were also radical ones.
Marcus Stone was one of the radicals.
He wasn't the strongest, but he was still the closest wizard to Angor.
Angor looked back and saw Margus Stone's bloodshot eyes.
Angor also sensed Margus Stone's desire for Mystery items. But unlike other wizards, Margus Stone's greed was more about the Mystery itself.
He remembered Granny Fingernail saying that Magus Stone had no potential and that he had been wandering around the same place for thousands of years. Granny Fingernail only mocked Angor because she wanted him to join the research department. Later, Angor learned that Granny Fingernail's words were not entirely wrong.
Magus Stone was once marked by the Time Thief. Not long after he was marked, he rose to prominence in the field of Alchemy. He was a top genius back then. However, things had changed with the passage of time. In the current era, even though Margus Stone had a high status in the alchemy circle, all of this was based on his past achievements. He had not made any progress on the path of alchemy for many years.
Margus Stone wanted to break through his current predicament, but he could not find a way.
The birth of this mysterious object was the only chance Margus had had in many years.
"Margus Stone was also marked by the Time Thief. Maybe he also sensed the" Choice of Fate "and realized that this Mystery item is unusual," Angor thought as he watched Margus Stone trying his best to move forward.
Mystery items were born more than once. Margus Stone never showed up during the incident at Silver Palm Isle.
This was the only explanation that made sense.
Angor's excuse of "looking for a Mystery item" was more suitable for Margus Stone. Margus Stone was the one who was trying his best to observe the birth of a Mystery item at close range.
However, Angor was not optimistic about Margus Stone's chances.
The birth of an object of disorder might really give Margus Stone an opportunity to make a breakthrough. However, if he didn't have a strong foundation, his fate would be sealed if he came into such close contact with an object of disorder.
…
From night to dawn, from day to dusk.
The dusk sky and the rolling sea of blood below seemed to be connected together.
Even though nothing had happened, the doomsday-like scene in front of them made the Magi in the misty zone feel an inexplicable pressure.
Angor was also feeling anxious. The "plop" of the fruit was getting louder and louder. If he was not mistaken, the fruit was close to ripening.
He wondered if the "master" was here.
He really wanted to ask through the void network, but his interaction with Hydland already attracted the attention of the watchers. Angor managed to fool the watchers, but he could not do it again.
While he was worrying, he suddenly heard some noises coming from not far away.
"Sir Editor, I think we're off track. We're still some distance away from the source."
"It's no use telling me that. We're just borrowing the light from Mister Lightchaser. Shut up."
Angor looked back and saw four blurry figures about 20 meters away from them.
The figure slowly turned from blurry to solid.
The first two figures were the ones who spoke to Angor earlier. They were a man and a woman. The woman was wearing a pointy hat and a robe that exposed her midriff. She was holding a camera in her hand.
The man, on the other hand, was wearing a black tuxedo. His hair was combed neatly and he held a scroll and a pen in his hand. He looked tall, handsome, and easy-going.
It was the witch with the recording device. Angor met her in the Abyss of Rasudran. Her name was Oliveta, a level-1 wizard from Nocturnal Forest and one of the editors of Firefly's Nighttale. Back then, Oliveta worked as a "war correspondent" in the alliance and recorded the battle of Rasudran.
The only reason why Angor's story spread so far in the southern wizarding region was because of Oliveta.
Her reports were objective, but they still brought Angor quite a lot of trouble.
It was his first time seeing the man's face, but judging from the way Oliveta called him, as well as the portrait he saw before, Angor was sure that it was him.
He was the chief editor of Firefly's Nighttale, the famous "Eternal Dawn" Dichiel.
Dichiel was a truth-finder wizard, and he was very powerful. However, it wasn't his strength that made him famous. It was his ability to gather information about the entire southern wizarding region.
Most of what Angor knew about wizards in the southern wizarding region came from Dichiel's magazines.
The Night Stories of Ying City, which was controlled by Dicer, was definitely one of the few intelligence hubs in the Southern Region.
Now that Dichiel and Oliveta showed up here, Angor knew that they were here to steal information from the frontline.
Angor wondered how they managed to resist the Mystery Fruit's attraction.
They were now standing on the same level as Angor, far ahead of Magus Stone.
But Oliveta and Dichiel didn't seem to be affected by the fruit's attraction at all.
Puzzled, he looked to the side again.
He discovered that the other two figures were beginning to solidify as well.
While doing so, Angor noticed that something was not right. This was not a real human being. It seemed like it was just a projection?
Soon, the two new figures revealed their true appearances.
Angor's pupils shrank when he saw the newcomer's face.
Indeed, the person who came was beyond his expectations.
He thought Dichiel was already a powerful truth-finder wizard, but he didn't expect the other two to be even stronger than Dichiel.
They were a man and a woman.
The female Magus was dressed in a black noble's robe. She had a cold expression and held a black skull staff in her hand. Her entire temperament gave people a feeling of rigidity, seriousness, and darkness.
She was "Dark Baron" Adria, one of the permanent councilors of the City of Truth and one of the chief editors of Forest of Time, the most authoritative journal in the southern wizarding region.
The man next to Dark Baron was a smiling old man in a loose wizard robe.
Compared to Dark Baron, this old man was even more famous.
His nickname was "Lightchaser", the honorary mayor of the City of Truth, and the only chairman of the Truth Council. He hadn't fought for a long time, but people believed that he was as strong as Monchi of Moonfrost Union. He was definitely one of the strongest wizards in the southern wizarding region.
Angor didn't expect the City of Truth to send a "reporter" here as well. One was the chief editor, while the other was the chairman of Lightchaser.
Angor forgot to look away as he was surprised by the visitors from the City of Truth.
The chairman of Lightchaser noticed something and looked at Angor's direction with a puzzled expression.
Angor quickly looked away and stayed still.
At this moment, the overseer beside him said indifferently, "His strength is not bad. He can feel your gaze even through the void. However, you don't have to worry. In my distorted domain, they won't be able to find you. "
Unless the watcher also had a law above legendary. Like Bora Leaf, no one would notice Angor's presence.
Angor noticed this before. No one else could see him, so he assumed it was because of the watcher.
Now, he had his answer.
