Before Domino knew what Angor meant, Tepikkhu let out a groan.
"What are you doing? Come and protect the young master! "Domino's servant exclaimed and hurriedly ordered the guards to restrain Tepikkhu.
Tepikkhu rubbed his temples. "Ugh, that hurts."
While Tepikkhu was speaking, the guards had rushed to his side and were about to bind him.
"Don't move!" Domino's eyes were filled with shock. He stopped the guards and helped Tepikkhu to sit on the stool in the study. He said with a hint of expectation, "Father?"
Tepikkhu opened his eyes and vaguely saw his son. "Domino? Ugh, my throat is dry. Muwa, give me some water. "
Muwa was the servant who had previously served Domino.
"Old, old, old … master?! Are you alright? This … this is unbelievable! "Muwa's monkey-like face was covered in tears.
"Ahem, what are you talking about? Water, Muwa. " Tepikkhu opened his eyes. His body wasn't in a good condition, so he couldn't remember what happened to him before he passed out.
Tepikkhu's eyes couldn't be faked, and neither could his words. As Angor said, Tepikkhu was fine.
It was only then that Domino hugged his father, who had been "lost and regained", and burst into tears.
Muwa and the other guards were also wiping their tears.
While Domino was crying, Tepikkhu slowly recalled what happened earlier. He only remembered that something rushed into his mouth, and then he fell asleep. So, he was actually infected, and was lucky enough to meet a wizard to save him?
Tepikkhu's eyes also became wet as he listened to his family members crying. But as the master of the family, he knew what he had to do. He gently pushed Domino away and stood up to thank Angor.
What he didn't know was that while he was being parasitized, the parasite had caused his limbs to become twisted and distorted. Tepikkhu tried to stand up and twisted his ankle before he could recover. He screamed and fell to his knees.
Tepikkhu was carried on a guard's back. He walked to Angor and ordered everyone to kneel.
About 20 people knelt in front of Angor.
"Thank you, Lord Magus. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have …"
"All of you, get up. I was asked by Lady Red Lotus to save you. This is only a mission for me." Angor did not like this kind of long-winded gratitude. He turned around and left. "Time to go. Don't waste time on unnecessary things."
Tepikkhu looked at Angor's back and sighed. They felt that this was a great favor, but to the otherworldly Sorcerers, it was just a small matter. No wonder the king of Midnight Sovereign wanted to become a wizard.
On this foggy night, a young man dressed in a casual and loose-fitting outfit walked towards the South Gate with a large group of burly men in tow.
Domino knew that Angor could save the infected mutants, but he still felt a chill down his spine when he thought about the millions of mutants in Midnight Sovereign.
That was why he had been living in fear ever since he left with Angor.
After walking for about two hours, they found a strange place. They heard strange voices from time to time, but they did not encounter any mutants. Domino even saw a mutant in the distance, but it quickly turned around and ran away when it saw them.
Domino naturally didn't think that it was their numbers that scared the other party away. The only reason why no mutants showed up was because the young wizard walking in front of them was that he was the only one who could do this.
It was as if he had some kind of magic spell. His steps were light, and his expression was calm, which drove away all the fear in their minds.
After walking for another half a day, they finally arrived at the South Gate as the first rays of dawn approached. They walked out of the fog and saw the train station at the South Gate, as well as the forest and the cave on the cliff.
On the platform, Angor also saw some Subasians who were not infected by the parasites. Hundreds of people on the platform looked at them curiously. In the middle of the crowd, a muscular man in full armor came to greet them.
The armored man took off his helmet and half-kneeled to Tepikkhu. "Greetings, Duke Tepikkhu!"
"Captain Neboya. It's great to see you safe and sound." Tepikkhu walked to the platform with the help of a guard.
"This is the wizard — my savior. Thank you so much for helping us escape from Midnight Sovereign," Tepikkhu introduced Angor to Angor. Tepikkhu introduced Angor to Nie Boya. Since wizards only existed in legends, Tepikkhu did not reveal Angor's true identity.
Neboya came to Angor in excitement and tried to kneel down.
Angor waved a hand. "I've done what I promised Lady Lotus. You can go now."
With that, he turned around and began to walk back. A few steps later, he heard people talking behind him. They were calling Nie Boya "Mister City Guard". Then, Nie Boya asked Domino in a low voice if he had seen Ananda.
Angor curled his lips. So this was Ananda's father. He seemed to be well-liked by the people, which was totally different from his daughter, who only worked as a pickpocket.
"By the way, don't step into the mist. If nothing goes wrong, it will disappear soon. Once it's gone, you can go home." Angor's voice came from afar. Everyone could only see a dark shadow stepping into the mist.
…
Angor returned to Midnight Sovereign. This time, he felt much more relaxed. It did not take him long to reach the white wall.
He hadn't even approached the white wall connected to Twilight Well when he saw countless fine lights scattering in all directions from the wall.
Without a doubt, they were the parasites born by the rainbow dragonflies.
As Angor approached the wall, the lights tried to avoid him. However, there were too many of them. Angor reached out his hand and grabbed several of them.
These parasites looked similar to the one he caught in the Nightmare Domain, but they were smaller.
Angor observed them for a while and let them go.
He looked at the wall, which was still crawling out of, and took a deep breath.
Before he could check his surroundings, he heard Sunders' voice transmission. "I sensed your presence. You're in Twilight Well?"
"Yes."
"The dragonflies' nest is near the entrance. There's a squad of dragonflies with colorful lights. Stay there and don't move. I'm coming to help you."
Before Angor could reply, Sunders cut off the telepathic communication. He looked up at the fork in the road and sighed in his mind. Dragonfly's guards? He already saw them.
The row of colorful dragonflies flapped their wings and circled around the fork in the road with a buzzing sound.
Not only did he see them, but he also felt them.
"Lord Shava! The noble Lord Shava! The noble Lord Shava who bathes in the moonlight! The noble Lord Shava who bathes in the moonlight under the comfort of the Queen! "
These were all emotions Angor sensed. However, the dragonflies were not good at expressing their emotions. They were like children who liked to compete with each other. Angor had to guess what they were expressing.
Nearly a hundred colorful dragonflies were lining up to compliment him. Each time a dragonfly received a compliment, it would happily perch on the tip of Angor's head and shine even brighter.
Angor did not feel scared at all. In fact, he even felt like laughing.
Not long after, his head was filled with multicolored dragonflies, flickering with all kinds of lights. If someone looked at him from afar, they would think he was a human-shaped street lamp. However, this lamp was colorful.
Angor pushed them away in annoyance. However, the dragonflies did not go away. They continued to circle above him. Angor did not mind them. Instead, he checked his surroundings.
The shops around the entrance usually had the most expensive ones. The door of the magic plant shop was open, but the interior was in a mess. The door of the Mysterious Grocery Shop was closed, but the magic array was still working. The buildings around the fork were mostly silent because of the mist. Angor could not see them clearly. Blood and broken stones could be seen here and there.
Half a month ago, this place was still bustling with people. Now, although it wasn't to the extent of being in ruins, it was much more desolate.
Angor did not see any infected mutants. Perhaps they were all hiding in the buildings. Angor was used to traveling without killing monsters anyway, so he decided to go to the magic plant shop.
The back door of the shop was closed. The second floor was also blocked by a magic array. Only the first floor was open.
He planned to see if he could find any useful materials, but he was disappointed. The magical plants on the first floor were basically unranked magical plants, such as the Echo Flower. Moreover, most of the magical plants had already been damaged.
The ones that were not damaged were mostly used by apothecaries. They were not useful to Angor.
Angor did not stay in the shop for long before he heard Sunders' voice. "Where are you?"
"The one on the left." Angor quickly answered.
"Did you run into a dragonfly escort team?" Sunders wondered.
Sunders hid on top of a building several hundred meters away. From afar, he saw the colorful dragonflies outside the shop. They were flying in a "figure eight" pattern as if they were dancing.
Angor nodded and walked out of the shop. "They did, but they didn't attack me."
As he spoke, he saw the colorful dragonfly landing on Angor's body. In an instant, his student turned into a human-shaped lantern.
Angor pushed them away. "They mistook me for Shava again. I can feel their emotions. They're praising Shava."
Sunders was speechless. He was worried about Angor's safety, so he came all the way here. But Angor didn't know what to do.
"Shava … It's Shava again." Sunders sighed. He felt that Angor's Nightmare Form had too many secrets. "I really want to take you to the Nightmare Realm again so that you can get stronger."
"Since they mean you no harm, you can try to check their nest. Our target is right there," Sunders sent a voice transmission to Angor.
"Alright. Where's their nest?"
"Inside Lady's Juice, which is under Elysium's jurisdiction. Be careful. If you sense any hostility or something strange, come out immediately. I'll be waiting for you nearby. Understand? Don't try to be brave! "
