When Angor returned, Shadow asked curiously, "Is he really not your pet boy? I thought he was a bit retarded. So that's what you like. "
Angor rolled his eyes at him. He did not know when this guy started to talk so much.
"What's so special about this mortal? Why are you treating him so differently?" Shadow glanced at the door of the room. The door was closed, but he could still hear some voices coming from inside. Using his spirit feeler, Shadow found a wooden building inside the room. It was a small wooden hut that only Krakoks could live in.
The mortal named Dodoro was crouching in front of the wooden hut while listening to an old Krakok telling him a story.
Papaya's grandmother? Shadow noticed the old woman's identity. He listened carefully and realized that she wasn't telling a story. She was teaching Dodoro how to read.
Shadow clicked his tongue. He didn't even know how to read. What an idiot.
Angor didn't want to talk about Dodoro's background, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be dreaming. Shadow, on the other hand, kept talking about Dodoro while trying to figure out who the mortal was.
The more he talked, the more ridiculous he became. First, he called Dodoro a pet boy, then a relative, and finally, Angor's bastard son.
Obviously, he only wanted to make Angor lose his patience and tell him the truth. But Angor simply gave him a look as if he was looking at an idiot.
Suddenly, Shadow turned to Naga, who had been silent with her eyes closed, and said, "Naga, come and take a look. Is that mortal a talent?"
Both Shadow and Angor were apprentices. To find out if a mortal was a talent, they either had to use a Talent Orb or forcefully break the spirit barrier. They didn't have a Talent Orb, and the latter was too cruel. Therefore, Shadow decided to use Naga instead.
Wizards didn't need to rely on Talent Orbs. They could tell whether someone had potential with a single glance. However, they could only see the spirit value of the target to determine whether the person was a talent or not. As for the actual talent, they still needed to test it thoroughly.
Shadow wasn't sure if Naga could see a person's talent or not. Naga might have the power of a wizard, but she was still a puppet. Therefore, An Ying's question was purely out of a fluke mentality, trying to find something to talk about.
His eyes were still closed, but his ears perked up at the same time.
Naga glanced at Dodoro and said, "His spiritual power is higher than both of you. I think he's a talent."
Angor nodded in understanding. As a matter of fact, there were too many strange things about Dodoro. Angor would only find it strange if Dodoro wasn't a talent.
Shadow's reaction was a little strange. "You can really tell if someone has talent or not? You should have said so earlier! I should've stayed longer in Hippocrotee and brought more talents back to Floating Mech City! "
Naga said, "Master didn't ask me."
Shadow's shoulders drooped helplessly, his face dejected. It didn't take long for Shadow to return to the topic of Dodoro. Shadow was curious about Dodoro's identity, especially since Angor didn't bring anything with him when he left the city with a mortal.
However, Angor didn't say anything. In the end, Shadow could only keep quiet.
The night had passed.
Initially, Shadow thought that it would take at least two to three days to reach their destination, but when the sun came up, they were already in the vicinity of Silent Hill.
They looked down and saw nothing but mountains and forests within several thousand kilometers. There were no signs of human habitation.
"Silent Hill is located in Midworld. We need to find the entrance." Shadow took out a pen and paper and began to calculate. "The entrance to Silent Hill is changing, but it still follows a certain pattern. As long as we substitute the changes of the sun and the moon into this formula, we can infer the coordinates of the entrance."
Shadow explained everything to Angor while doing the calculations.
Soon, Shadow found a set of coordinates.
Angor put away his Gondola, Papaya's grandmother, and Dodoro into his bracelet just in case.
They were now in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. A small stream flowed at the bottom of the valley.
With Shadow leading the way, they arrived at the forest in the middle of the canyon. After walking for a few minutes, Shadow pointed at the center of a giant man-eating flower. "Found it. Its mouth is the entrance."
"Are you sure?" Angor asked Shadow as he stared at the bloody mouth of the plant. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Shadow nodded. Shadow took the lead and jumped into the mouth of the Piranha Flower. The Piranha Flower opened its mouth to welcome its food with an "I didn't know something like this could happen" expression.
However, Shadow's body twisted and disappeared as soon as he entered the mouth.
The Piranha Flower was confused. Where did the man go?
Seeing Shadow leading the way, Angor jumped in as well. Once again, the Piranha Flower showed a "lucky" expression and opened its mouth to welcome the second moth with a wretched expression. However, it was disappointed again. Again, the man disappeared from its mouth.
The Piranha Flower looked at the last person, a beautiful blonde with blue eyes. It opened its mouth wide, and the two leaves were like hands, constantly gesturing to its mouth, as if it was saying to her, "Come, come, I'll wait for you!"
Naga coldly snorted and stomped the man-eating flower under her feet, crushing it into mud. She then disappeared from the surface world. As long as she reached the wizard level, it would not be difficult to open the door to the Midworld. She could enter the Midworld at any time.
…
Angor opened his eyes and saw that the environment around him had changed greatly.
He was in the middle of a dense forest. But now, there was nothing around him, and the ground was dry. It was daytime, but the sky was gray and gloomy, as if it was the end of the world.
This was the normal state of Midworld.
"Follow me." Shadow continued to lead the way while explaining, "Silent Hill isn't as big as Brute Cavern, but it's still a famous wizard organization. It's not easy for outsiders to get in."
Shadow talked a lot about how difficult it was to enter Silent Hill and how important he was to Angor. "Just follow me, and everything will be fine. Floating Mech City and Silent Hill are long-term trade partners. Just mention Floating Mech City's name, and it'll be a piece of cake for you to get in."
"This is Silent Hill," said Shadow as he led Angor to a barren and dark mountain. "This is Silent Hill."
This dark mountain is Silent Hill? Angor observed for a while and sensed the presence of an illusion spell. He was curious, but he didn't dare to make any assumptions about it since he knew that he wasn't strong enough to do so.
"It's all illusions. You'll see the real Silent Hill when you get closer. It's not as prosperous as Floating Mech City, but it's still one of the best."
Shadow led Angor to the top of the mountain. A few steps later, a giant boulder blocked their way.
There was a strange human face on the surface of the rock. Half of its eyes were open, while the other half had white eyebrows. The other half looked young and old, while the other half looked playful.
It was as if a flamboyant young man's face was forcefully pieced together with the face of an old man in his twilight years, and the carrier was a piece of black stone.
"Let's see who's back." "Oh, it's our little Diablo."
"Is this Marionette our little Diablo's new lover?" "Looks like it's true."
"That's something worth celebrating." "Yes, it's something worth celebrating."
"Then, who is this young friend?" "Let me smell something familiar. I need to think about it."
The rock was talking to itself, which sounded quite strange. Just like its face, its voice also had two different voices. One sounded old, while the other sounded crisp. It sounded like an old man talking to a young man.
"Mister Talos, we're entering Silent Hill!" Shadow spoke to the strange rock.
"Aiyo, I heard you, I heard you! You're going to hurt my little heart if you talk so loud! "" Hey, don't try to blackmail them. They don't have anything valuable on them. "
"How can there be no oil? I can smell the rich smell of treasures on this young friend's body." "Yeah, I think so. Hey, kid, come here and give me your bracelet. I'll let you in. "
"Are you stupid? He's already got his bracelet. He needs a hat!" "You hear that? Give me the hat! "
Two long, thin arms suddenly reached out from the rock and waved at Angor.
Angor didn't know what to do. The unknown rock monster looked like a gatekeeper, but its aura was as strong as the ocean. Angor couldn't tell how strong it was since it dared to call them "children".
"Mister Taros, he's my friend. Please let him go." Shadow stepped in front of Angor and said, "He's my friend, Mister Taros. Also, look at that blond hair and those beautiful blue eyes. They're so … beautiful. "
The rock monster named Talos looked at Angor up and down with a strange look. Indeed, Diablo's teacher liked the boy's blond hair and blue eyes very much.
Now that he thought about it, Angor was very likely to become a truth-finder.
The rock monster waved a hand and said, "Fine. For the sake of your teacher, you may go in."
The rock monster parted in the middle. The old man and the young man slowly walked away, revealing a narrow path.
Through the narrow path, Angor could see the luxurious buildings behind.
