On the way to Sleepless City, there were several apprentices and even official wizards standing guard at every corner of the road. Most of them were not from Sleepless City. They were from other organizations, including Brute Cavern.
Their orders were always "Danger ahead. Follow orders."
However, as long as one was slightly more informed, they would be able to tell that the major adept organizations were only doing this to reduce the number of people fighting for the Mystery item.
Although there were many checkpoints set up, there was no one who dared to stop them if they didn't have good eyesight. Wherever Toby went, the apprentices would avoid him in fear of offending Sunders.
They went straight to the inner city of Sleepless City.
They landed in a public square. There were only a few dozen people scattered in the huge public square. Compared to the densely packed crowd of apprentice sorcerers in the sky, there were far fewer of them.
Even though there were only a few people in the square, they were the key to solving the problem of Sleepless City's Dark Domain.
Toby quickly transformed into his original form and circled around Sunders while chirping non-stop. Toby knew that Sunders would decide whether they could save Greya or not.
Sunders pushed Toby away impatiently as if he was swatting a mosquito.
Toby flew to Angor's shoulder with a sad look and curled up next to his neck.
Angor rubbed Toby's head and followed Sunders's steps.
"Are we going into the Dark Domain now, professor?" While asking, he glanced at the dark barrier covering the outer city. He sensed the presence of the Nightmare Realm inside the barrier, but it was not strong, probably because it was too far away.
On the contrary, there was another feeling that made him feel slightly puzzled.
The presence of Mystery.
The so-called mysterious aura was not a fixed impression. It was actually just a "concept collection". As long as one had come into contact with a Mystery Item, they would be able to tell that the feeling a Mystery Item gave off was actually different. It could be huge and magnificent, or gloomy and strange, or even dull and oppressive. Even the elements that formed it were different.
But no matter which feeling it gave people, they all felt like they were "unpredictable, full of unknowns, incompatible with the laws of nature, yet perfectly compatible with them".
This was why wizards could recognize the presence of Mystery items at first glance, even if they felt different.
However, the only reason the other adepts were able to recognize the mysterious aura in the darkness was because they had felt this contradictory 'mysterious concept'. But Angor was different. The world he saw and the Mystery aura he sensed were completely different from the other wizards.
Because he had truly come into contact with that Mysterious Realm before, he could sense more things from it.
Not only did he sense the Mystery aura in the Dark Domain, but he also sensed something familiar. It reminded him of the Mystery Spirit he encountered in Dark Castle. But compared to Dark Castle's Mystery Spirit, this Mystery Spirit was even more powerful. Even the Darkness Realm was affected.
"Let's not go in yet. Let's hear what Filo has to say first."
Filo was the wizard stationed in Sleepless City by Brute Cavern. He was the one who told Sunders about the Dark Domain.
Angor considered for a moment and explained the Mystery aura he sensed.
"Instructor, I feel that the mysterious aura inside is a little strange …"
Sunders noticed that the wizards around them all pricked up their ears when Angor mentioned the "Mystery energy". Even if he was using a Voice Transmission spell, there were still plenty of ways for the wizards to decipher it.
Without hesitation, Sunders connected the two of them with Spirit Bond. Sunders would be alerted if someone tried to break the Spirit Bond, which was much safer than using a Voice Transmission spell.
After they connected to the Spirit Bond, the surrounding adepts frowned.
Sunders had a young apprentice who once touched Mystery domain in alchemy. The rumor would become a joke among the apprentices. Most people would think it was just a rumor. However, in the circle of adepts, this matter was basically set in stone.
When Angor mentioned that the "Mystery aura" was strange, the other wizards all wanted to know what this young alchemist had to say.
Unfortunately, Sunders stopped them. The wizards all looked regretful.
"You once came into contact with the mysterious domain in alchemy. Mentioning the mysterious aura will definitely attract other people's attention.
Sunders' spirit energy ripples came from the other side of the Spirit Bond.
Angor nodded and explained his findings with a blank expression.
"A Mystery item?" Sunders rubbed his chin and pondered. "I thought Filo's message was referring to the harp in the fox's hand. Looks like I misunderstood. Is there really a new Mystery item?"
"I don't think so." Angor hesitated for a moment.
Sunders stopped and looked at him, waiting for an explanation.
"I don't know. It's just a feeling." Angor tried to describe his feeling, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't find a satisfactory explanation.
"Maybe you're right." Sunders considered for a moment and said, "You might be right."
After all, this area had something to do with the Nightmare Realm. As long as it was related to the Nightmare Realm, Sunders believed that Angor's intuition was right.
But if Angor was right, the Mystery aura didn't mean that a Mystery item was about to be born … Then what could it be?
And what did it have to do with the Nightmare Realm tunnel?
Or did a powerful Nightmare Realm creature bring a Mystery item to the wizarding world?
Several other groups of wizards came to greet Sunders. Some of them were truth-finder wizards with strong auras.
On the surface, Sunders was chatting with the newcomers, but he quickly explained their identities to Angor through their Spirit Bond.
"Mambuchuk from Tower of Hurricane, Tulusu from Utopia Academy, Fayani from Nocturnal Forest, Harris from Edge of Night, also known as' Evil Dragon '…"
Apart from those who were familiar with Sunders, most of the wizards only talked about simple greetings. Angor heard about a dozen different organizations during his journey. Some of them were large, while others were small.
It had only been two days since the darkness appeared in Sleepless City. There were already so many Sorcerer organizations that had been attracted by the Mysterious Object. In a few more days, Sorcerer organizations that were even further away would probably come as well.
That was how the Mystery item attracted people.
However, not everyone was attracted by the mysterious object. For example, the person in front of him was one of them.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Mister Phantom," said an old voice. "I was going to invite Mister Phantom to Sleepless City and tell me about Travel in Dreamland."
Angor looked up and saw a white-bearded old man in a black robe with wrinkled skin. His beard almost reached his chest, and it swayed in the wind.
"If you want the Travel in Dreamland, I can make a copy and trade it with you," Sunders offered.
Angor tried to guess who this old man was. Since he knew about Travel in Dreamland, he must have attended the Sky Auction as well.
"That's Qetesh, also known as' Lord of Night ', one of the three pillars of Sleepless City." While chatting with Qetesh, Sunders also spoke to Angor through Spirit Bond. "He's been to the Nightmare Realm before. I think he already knows what's going on inside."
As expected, Qetesh quickly changed the topic to the Nightmare Realm and asked if Sunders was here for the Mystery item or the nightmare passage.
Sunders didn't say anything and simply sent Qetesh away.
"A Mystery item is tempting, but a nightmare passage is even more tempting," Sunders said. "If the outside world knows that a nightmare tunnel might appear here, I'm sure more people will come here."
"Every time a nightmare passage appears, it only appears for a brief moment. That's why very few people enter it." Sunders glanced at the outer city of Sleepless City. But is there really a nightmare passage in there?
If not, why is the energy in the interlayer of planes so violent?
Sunders frowned and looked at the quiet darkness. He couldn't help but feel uneasy.
When they finally caught sight of Filo, he was hovering in the air, a covetous look in his eyes as he stared at the pitch-black city below.
"Mister Phantom." Filo landed on the ground.
"Tell me about it. What happened in there before you came out? Why is the space energy surging?" asked Sunders.
Filo was about to answer, but when he saw Angor standing next to Sunders, he hesitated.
Since Sunders didn't tell Angor to leave, Filo continued, "It's a little complicated. The darkness began to spread from the top of the Eternal Light and quickly covered the entire outer city. During the process, we heard the sound of a zither. It started off as a normal sound, but it slowly turned into something that could arouse one's desires.
"After that, we worked together to open a plane passageway and escaped. But not long after that, the vortex in the sky began to spin faster and faster until it activated all the space energy in the area. As a result, the entire plane passageway around Sleepless City was sealed off. "
Sunders already knew the first part of Filo's explanation. Sunders wanted to know the details that Filo might have overlooked, as well as what happened to them after they left the darkness.
