As Shadow continued, everyone's attention slowly shifted from Isabelle's return to the southern wizarding region and back to Angor.
Shadow's story was too bizarre. Something like "Mystery Alchemist", "Mystery Spirit" … It was even more bizarre than a novel.
A sorcerer's apprentice had actually touched the Occult Realm? He didn't actually reach the Mystery realm, but it was still too unbelievable.
How was that even possible?
However, they all used their lie-detection techniques on Shadow, and the results made them speechless again. Shadow wasn't lying!
In other words, this young apprentice named Angor really did touch a Mystery?
Everyone began to look at Angor with eager eyes as if they were looking at a precious treasure. Even if Angor couldn't become a wizard in the future, he would at least be as valuable as a real wizard, or even more so.
Shadow continued. He was speaking from his own point of view, so many of his stories were not completely correct. However, as someone who knew how to speak eloquently, he was able to connect the dots with his own logic, and his story sounded reasonable.
Besides, Shadow's story was based on his own experience, which meant he wasn't lying.
For example, he used some vague words to explain Isabelle's return. He claimed that Isabelle suddenly possessed "Venees" because her soul was damaged when she returned to the southern wizarding region. If it weren't for the "Mystery Spirit" that intercepted Angor's "Mystery Weapon", Isabelle wouldn't have survived.
The truth was obviously not what he said. However, he used his limited knowledge to make up a story, and everyone still believed him.
When they heard that Isabelle was still injured, they all looked at each other and felt relieved.
Inside a dilapidated stone tower at the top of Silent Hill, "Silent Raven" Taurus, the ruler of Silent Hill, was sitting in front of a withered wooden table. His wrinkled eyebrows slowly relaxed.
The fire in front of him was still burning brightly. Amidst the flames, what appeared was the image of Shadow talking non-stop.
By the time Shadow finished telling the story, it was already past the midpoint and it was already the latter half of the night.
Isabella, on the other hand, was very worried. She believed Shadow's words. Isabelle really did return to the southern wizarding region. But he might be seriously injured.
When Isabella thought of this, her heart began to ache.
"I'll believe you for now. If I find out that you're lying, I don't care where you are, I'll kill you for blasphemy." After that, Isabella threw Naga's head back to Shadow and left Silent Hill at lightning speed.
After learning about Isabelle's situation, she was now anxious to return home. How could she care about anything else? As Shadow said, she should thank Angor for saving her life. But she would never do that to an apprentice, so she simply ignored Angor. She did not curse him anyway, and Angor was still alive. Even if the tutor knew about it, he probably wouldn't do anything.
In front of everyone, Isabella turned into a bloody bat and left Silent Hill.
After Isabelle left, Shadow walked back to his mentor, exhausted. "The old witch is finally gone. It's been a long night."
As he spoke, Shadow turned to Bogula. "Mentor, can you help her? Can she be saved?"
Shadow was holding Naga's head in his hand. The woman was sealed inside the blood amber, and her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping.
Bogula glanced at the head. "Yes, but …"
"But what?" Shadow's eyes flickered in excitement. As long as there was hope, everything was fine. When he decided to give up on Naga, he did it on impulse. Now that he had calmed down, he realized that it would be difficult for him to give up on Naga.
"But you're not strong enough to save her. Work harder. Once you become a wizard, you'll find a way to wake her up."
Bogula could save Naga, but since he already gave Naga to Shadow, Naga was now Shadow's property. Shadow would have to take care of everything else, including strengthening and maintaining Naga.
Shadow sighed in relief. "As long as I can save her. As for my strength, I'll become a wizard one day. "
"Let's hope so." Bogula grabbed Angor's collar and said, "Let's go back."
Shadow glanced at Angor but didn't say anything. He followed Bogula to the wizard tower where they were temporarily staying.
After Bogula left, the spirit tentacles of the wizards that were gathered around slowly dissipated as well. The only thing left on the ground was a pool of blood and a lonely rock — Taros the Two-Faced Sprite.
"The kid is still alive. I thought Bogula was the source of the variables, but the variables kept increasing until they pointed to Isabelle, whom I haven't seen in a thousand years. That's how he got out of this mess." "Maybe this is fate's favor. If there was a Prophet here, he might be able to see some clues."
"Ugh …" "Ugh …"
"What should we do now? I'm almost done with the draft. What's the point if he's still alive? "" Don't worry, Shadow just told us something. Let's do it again! "
"But there's nothing interesting about it. Isabelle's injured, and the mysterious alchemist didn't show up …" "Make it up yourself!"
"You're right!" "Let's do a title first then."
"I have one: 'Shock! A Thousand-Year-Old Wizard Returns to the South, and the Wizarding World Will Be Reshuffled! '"" Me too. The Mysterious Alchemist Was Made into a Puppet Because of … "
"We've decided on the topic, but which magazine should we submit it to, Wizard's Voice or Wizard's Secrets?"
"One of them is a ten-year magazine, while the other is a century-old one. They'll be outdated by the time we publish them!" "How about Truth's Sky?"
"Sure, but it's an official publication of Floating Mech City. Won't that annoy Bogula?" "So what if he's annoyed?"
"Then, it's decided … happily decided!"
Taros had a smile on his face. He was half young and half old. Under the faint halo, he slowly closed his eyes.
As Bogula took Angor away, the cawing of crows suddenly came from the stone tower at the top of Silent Hill.
Taurus, the ruler of Silent Hill, was sitting by a fire. Behind him was a row of iron racks, each of which was filled with crows. The crows remained still while their bright yellow eyes glinted coldly.
"Come in," Taurus spoke in an old voice.
The window outside the tower was blown open by a gust of wind. Several spirit tentacles slithered behind Taurus.
"Mister Taurus, should we do something about what Diablo said?" A voice created using spirit power echoed in the narrow room.
Taurus didn't turn around. He snorted. "Something? How? How about you give us your opinions? "
After a moment of silence, the spiritual tentacles began to argue. "Kill her while she's weak!" The first to speak was a radical.
"I agree. I don't want to go through that again." The speaker was obviously an old man with a long lifespan.
"But Isabelle's death won't do us any good. We're not the rulers of Fairy World. It's not our place to worry."
"But Dark Castle is the closest to Silent Hill. We can't guarantee that Isabelle won't come after us after she recovers."
The argument went back and forth, but no one could win. After the cawing of the crows, everyone looked at Taurus in silence.
"Let's put it aside for now." Taurus' voice sounded old, but his back didn't look as stooped as before.
"But …" Someone disagreed.
"Can any of you be sure that Diablo is telling the truth?" Taurus said calmly, "In the conversation between Diablo and Isabella, there are thirteen uncertain words. If we remove the thirteen uncertain words, we can only conclude that Isabella is indeed injured and that she has returned."
"How badly is she injured? How did she get injured? What's her next plan? What's her attitude toward Fairytown after she returns? Will she still leave the southern region? All these questions haven't been answered yet. What makes you think we can kill her?
"Besides, even if Isabelle was seriously injured, would Isabelle watch her teacher die? Dark Castle may have declined, but they still have their trump cards. If we go after Isabelle, it's the same as declaring war on Dark Castle. We belong to the same alliance after all. If we do that … it's not good for our development. " Taurus seemed to be against it, but he paused in the end. "But we won't do it. We can let others do it."
"Europa, I heard you're quite close with the new 'Bird of Paradise', Yorditemisa?" Taurus asked.
A gentle female voice replied, "A few decades ago, Yueditemisa and I had been invited to the Manluo Plane to taste incense."
"I heard that the Fragrance Tasting Fair in Xiangyue Federation produced a strange fragrance. I found a bottle by chance. Perhaps you can go look for the Birds of Paradise and catch up on old times. "As she spoke, an exquisitely packaged small bottle appeared beside Europa.
"I see. Heh. It's been a long time since we last met. It's time to catch up." Europa chuckled.
"Disperse." Taurus took the initiative to ask them to leave.
Everyone agreed, but a strange voice came from the crowd. "Lord Taurus, we can put aside Isabelle's matter for now, but that mysterious alchemist …"
"Yeah. He hasn't become a Mystery Alchemist yet, but he has a bright future ahead of him. How about we … steal him from us? "
Taurus grinned and stood up from his chair.
As he moved, a ball of fire appeared in front of him. Inside the fire, an image appeared. It was Angor's final moment before he fainted.
"About him, I just received an interesting piece of news from Talos. Let's not worry about him for now. He's not someone Silent Hill can keep. "Taurus chuckled." I'm looking forward to seeing what Bogula will do to him. "
