When Elmi was in his shadow form, he had no problem hiding his shadow. However, when Elmi became the main axis of the moving illusion, he could no longer do so. As long as he did so, the moving illusion would automatically disappear.
Therefore, Elmi's shadow was the only thing that could be hidden when they flew across the sky.
The Witch's Eyes were all in shadow form, which made them extremely sensitive to the shadows of living creatures. Moreover, Elmi was a life form with some Shadow Element.
Whenever Elmi flew over their heads, the Witch's Eyes would definitely be alerted.
This was why Angor spent so much effort to have Speed Spirit lift them up and create an illusion to walk past them.
Others might not be able to see this, but how could the Black Earl not see it?
"Well, I can explain it to you. But I think it's a waste of time. Besides, some curious kids might keep asking questions, which will waste even more time. Plus, even if they learn about it, they won't be able to use it in the future. So, I'll give them a short and satisfying answer. That way, everyone will be happy, and I won't have to waste time explaining, "Angor replied.
"Although Sunders never explained to me why he would suddenly become a hypocrite. But after listening to your explanation, I think Sunders has the same idea as you. " Count Black paused and continued, "But at least you can give a barely acceptable explanation, while Sunders … Heh. Serves him right for not being able to keep Samantha."
Angor didn't say anything. He didn't want to gossip about Sunders' relationship with Samantha.
However, judging from the interactions between Sunders and Samantha, Angor could tell that Sunders didn't care about Samantha at all. On the other hand, Samantha always looked at Sunders with a complicated expression.
Count Black seemed to have read Angor's mind and began to talk about Sunders and Samantha on purpose. Angor felt that he was making things up, but he didn't want to use Word of Truth.
While Count Black was talking, Angor suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing around him.
The familiar energy wave made Angor turn around in confusion. "Speed Spirit? Did you find something? "
Speed Spirit did not answer. Instead, he created a small whirlwind around Angor. When the whirlwind disappeared, a shiny object fell from the whirlwind and landed in Angor's hand.
Su Ling's actions did not escape the eyes of the others. Everyone looked curiously at the scene before them.
Angor had no idea what was going on. He secretly talked to Speed Spirit and learned that Speed Spirit stole the item from one of the Witch's Eyes.
Because it was shiny, it could be some kind of treasure. Speed Spirit had been with Angor for a long time and knew about the concept of treasure hunting, so he gave the item to Angor.
Judging from Speed Spirit's smug expression, Angor could tell that Speed Spirit was trying to please Angor.
Everyone looked over curiously, especially Dorcas, whose eyes were extremely bright. It was obvious how curious he was about the item Spirit Soren gave Angor.
Since everyone was curious, Angor did not hide anything from them. He told them how Su Ling found the item.
Next, he opened his palm in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone looked at his palm and saw a silver-white circle. It looked similar to a ring, except that it was slightly bigger. A normal person would only be able to wear it on their thumb.
The small silver circle was made of metal with a shiny outer shell. It must have been worn by the Witch's Eyes all the time.
It was also because it was too bright that it emitted a sparkling light.
But in fact, it was just an ordinary metal object.
"Is this a space ring? But I can't sense any supernatural energy from it. Is it good at hiding? "Vaal asked curiously.
"I don't think it's necessary for your eyes to exist," Count Black said.
Vaal covered his mouth and did not say anything.
Kael observed the item carefully and asked Angor, "I can't sense any supernatural energy at all. Is it because time has worn it away?"
Angor shook his head. "You can feel its material."
Kael took the silver circle from Angor's hand and touched it. "Common iron mixed with Noble Silver?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. It wasn't made too long ago. I don't know what it's used for. Maybe it's an ornament or an iron ring used to bind things."
In other words, it was just an ordinary item.
Noble Silver sounded very noble, but it was actually just an ordinary metal. It wasn't silver, but a kind of silver-like metal. It was easy to refine, and the product would feel like silver. Many nobles who were not too rich liked to decorate their homes with such materials to make them look more luxurious.
Kael handed the circle back to Angor, feeling a little embarrassed. He thought it was a supernatural item, but it turned out to be nothing. Even the materials used to build the Stairs of Hanging Prison were much more valuable than this.
Sou Ling heard their conversation as well. No one could see it, but Angor could tell that the spirit was feeling down all of a sudden.
Angor was going to throw it away, but when he saw Su Ling's sad look, he decided to change his mind. "It's not a treasure, but I think it's a good ring."
Angor took out Dankros, who was hanging on his shoulder.
"I'm wearing gloves, so I can't put it on. Here, put it on for me. "Angor put the ring on Dankros' thumb without hesitation.
The size of the ring was perfect.
Dankros himself liked it quite a lot. This thing was quite hard. The next time he was locked in a cupboard, he should be able to secretly smash a hole in it.
Angor handed the ring to Dankros and checked Su Ling's mood again.
Su Ling's mood improved a bit.
"Your training is not bad. Just a simple action and the two elemental companions seem to be quite satisfied." The Dark Earl said, "However, I have to say that your elemental companions have the worst eyesight I have ever seen. Both of them. "
"I really don't know which remote place you found it from."
Black Earl sighed. Such easy-going elementals were hard to come by these days.
Moreover, these two elemental companions had great potential, which made the Dark Earl a little envious. Although he also had elemental companions, his group of old fellows would not be happy just because of a useless iron ring.
Angor considered Count Dark's words and agreed with him. Dankros only needed Quenching Liquid, and he would be happy all day. As for Su Ling, they rarely talked. But from what Angor sensed, Angor could tell that Su Ling was also an easy-going elemental.
This was probably his luck … After all, the Tidal Realm was an undeveloped world, and the elemental creatures there didn't have much experience.
When the Tidal Realm was developed, it would be difficult to find such easy-going elementals.
Angor made up his mind. When he returned to the Tidal Realm with Mister Rein, he would try his best to find as many elementals as he could. They were still newbies, so it should be easy to trick them.
…
They kept moving forward. They encountered several groups of Witch's Eyes along the way, but as long as they were "training", Angor would deal with them the same way as before.
If they were not training, it would be even easier. Usually, these Witch's Eyes were solitary creatures. Angor could just walk past them. With the moving illusions, they would not be discovered.
They did not run into any danger along the way, but they had to admit that the Witch's Eyes really liked the dark alleys.
They kept running into more and more Witch's Eyes.
"If it weren't for Mister Super Dimensional's illusion, we would have to fight our way through. Why didn't we go to the garden first? "Wai complained again. He was praising his idol while mocking his old friend.
"It's not like anything happened. Isn't it quite safe?" Dorcas's current attitude was not as serious as before, and his entire person was rather lazy. Wai could complain all he wanted. They were already here. Unless they ran into something they could not defeat, they would not back down.
Wai pouted. "You're not the one who made us safe."
While the two of them were arguing, the dark alley finally came to an end. They could already see a faint light in front of them.
However, before leaving the dark alleyway, they still had to deal with four Witch's Eyes.
They knew they were training, but this posture was the most embarrassing one they had ever seen. The ones circling around in the alleyway were much more creative than the four Witch's Eyes.
With Angor and Speedy's help, they easily made it through.
However, Dorcas kept turning his head back, occasionally nodding, as if he had learned something. It was as if he was commenting on that unsightly posture in his heart.
It was obvious that Dorcas was thinking about something not suitable for children. Angor did not mind. He was just thinking about it in his head. It was not like he wanted to harm the kid.
When they left the dark alleyway, they saw a wide open space.
There were still several buildings blocking their way, but they could already see the entrance through the gaps between them.
"See, this path is pretty safe, isn't it?" Dorcas said proudly.
Wai said, "Maybe the twin towers or the garden is safer. And we don't have to waste so much time!"
Dorcas replied, "I'm just being cautious. Think about it. The twin towers and the garden are dangerous. Even if it's just a small risk, it can still cause us some harm. The biggest risk on our side is those insignificant Witch's Eye Ghosts. "
Dorcas' words weren't wrong, but Wa Yi simply ignored them.
Dorcas did not mind. He was humming a little tune in a carefree manner.
However, Angor could tell that Dorcas was still tense. Dorcas' decision was not wrong, but they still needed some distance to reach the entrance.
No one knew if there would be any accidents along the way.
Only when they successfully reached the entrance did the battle between Dorcas and Inspiration finally come to an end.
On the other side, the first thing the others did after leaving the dark alleyway was to look around and make sure there was no danger.
Luckily, they were in the open space in front of the buildings. There were many Witch's Eyes, but finding a safe path to the other side was still easy.
This time, Kael and Vaay were learning to do the same.
Since the square was small, they did not have to worry too much about it. In the end, all three of them chose different routes.
This was a good thing. It meant that there were many gaps in the square, enough for the moving illusions to work.
They could choose any route, and they would not run into any Witch's Eyes. But Angor decided to let Dorcas decide. Besides, he did not see Dorcas' choice yet.
With that in mind, Angor looked at Dorcas.
Dorcas was standing on a high platform and looking toward the center of the square.
Angor looked at the center of the square and saw a lot of Witch's Eyes. They were almost piled up into a small hill.
From the looks of it, this was yet another new way for the Witch's Eyes to "cultivate".
"Stop looking. Pick a route," Angor spoke to Dorcas through their Spirit Bond.
Dorcas stayed silent for a long time before answering, "Tsk tsk tsk. I didn't know there were such pretty Witch's Eyes. It's my first time seeing one. Interesting. "
After saying this, Dorcas took out a Shadow Recording Stone to record the scene in the distance.
When Dorcas finished recording, he jumped down from the platform and spoke to Angor who was still speechless, "I'm recording valuable information. You don't understand. You don't believe me? Let me show you. "
Without waiting for Angor's reply, Dorcas opened the Image Stone.
Angor almost cursed out loud. But when he saw what the stone showed, he froze.
Not only Angor, but the two apprentices were also dumbfounded.
They were planning their route and did not notice such a special Witch's Eyes in the square.
Yes, special.
The mountain-like Witch's Eyes Angor saw were not cultivating. They were protecting the special Witch's Eyes at the center of the square.
The Witch's Eyes stood on a statue statue in the fountain. The statue was already broken, so the statue became a stage for the Witch's Eyes.
The Witch's Eyes twisted its waist, which made it look very gentle. Even its hair was completely different from the messy hair of the other Witch's Eyes. Not only was it neatly combed, but it was also secured by a chain on its forehead.
Not only that, the Witch's Eye was no longer wearing tattered clothes, but a complete white coat. It seemed to be made of some kind of extraordinary material, but the Witch's Eye didn't know how to cut it, so it could only wrap it around its body. It used all kinds of beautiful chains, turquoise, rubies, opals … and other beautiful things to decorate it.
Even without cutting them, the coat was still beautiful.
It was a Witch's Eyes with gender awareness, aesthetic awareness, and the ability to dress up.
The Witch's Eyes were beautiful even by human standards. Of course, it was still a monster covered in purple scales. However, after learning how to dress up and comb, it looked completely different.
"What do you think? Isn't it special? This is a valuable record. If we sell it to the gossip magazines, we'll get good reviews. "Dorcas saw everyone's attention and felt proud of himself.
After Dorcas finished speaking, he intentionally glanced at the Black Earl, wanting to see what the Black Earl's evaluation was.
Dark Earl also responded to Dorcas, which was quite rare.
"A Witch's Eyes with such self-management ability must have absorbed a lot of information. It already has a budding intelligence. I think this monster is not far from reaching wizard-level.
"However, even if it's an Adept level Witch's Eye, there are very few that have such self-management awareness. I have to say, this Witch's Eyes is very special. "
It was the first time Dark Earl saw a Witch's Eyes that liked to dress up.
Moreover, this Witch's Eyes had already awakened self-management ability, which was quite rare.
A Witch's Eyes with self-management ability meant that it only needed one more step to be able to communicate with other creatures. For wizards who liked to study Witch's Eyes, this was a very valuable subject to study.
Dark Earl was not interested in studying the Witch's Eyes, so he only commented a little and let it go. However, Dark Earl was more interested in Angor's reaction than the Witch's Eyes.
Although both Kael and Way were surprised by this particular witch's eye, their surprise was written all over their faces and was easy to read.
Angor, on the other hand, did look surprised. But more importantly, he was … puzzled.
Angor rarely saw such a look on his face.
The last time he saw it was when he saw the statue in the living area.
This time, when he looked at the Witch's Eye, he actually had the same expression. What was the reason behind this?
