Under the strange gazes of the surrounding adepts, Douglas coughed twice and softened his tone. "Who is it?"
"It's Lord Burning Bone."
'Burning Bone' Ferde, a new rising wizard of Sleepless City.
Since Felder was a wizard on his side, Douglas had no choice but to swallow the swear words he was about to say. He knew Felder very well. Felder had only become an official wizard ten years ago, and he wanted to step onto the path of truth. He wanted to study everything. Unfortunately, he was not careful enough in his research, and now he was in trouble.
"Calm down and wait for me," Douglas said.
Now that even a formal wizard was in trouble, the wizards around them began to panic. They had just cast a simple defensive spell, but now, the wizards subconsciously strengthened it.
"Everyone else, take note as well. Even if you want to study the people who have been absorbed by the light spots, don't do it now," Douglas said earnestly. "The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation …"
But before he could finish, another voice came from outside. This time, it sounded like someone was about to cry. "Mister Ferde has started to release energy attacks everywhere. His energy level is too high. A few official wizards' defensive spells have been broken through. Some of them have already been infected by the light spots …"
When Douglas heard this news, he retreated in horror.
He knew that if he broke through one of the gaps, the entire defense line would collapse. The light spots would destroy all the fortresses that had not been built yet.
Douglas looked at Payne, who was also wearing a serious expression.
Payne narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. "Gather all the uninfected and bring them to the Monsoon Sector. I'll activate Night Shield. "
Qetesh looked worried. "The Monsoon Sector contains Sleepless City's resources. Don't you think it's inappropriate to let them in?"
The Monsoon Sector was the core area of Sleepless City. The Secret Library, Spell Hall, and Resource Hall were all located there. Under the protection of the magic array, the Monsoon Sector had always been a forbidden area.
Night Shield was the defensive magic array of the Monsoon Sector.
"Sleepless City still has a chance, but if we let these wizards get trapped here, we'll be in real danger," Payne said. Payne spoke bluntly in front of all the Magus organizations present, "Also, if anyone dares to covet our resources, don't blame me for being unreasonable!"
Originally, Payne had planned to go to the outer city to have a look and compare himself with the truth-finder wizard who was standing in the clouds. But now, it seemed that there was no such opportunity for the time being.
Payne had no choice but to make this choice. The Monsoon District was the core area, and there was a secret passage that led to the core world. Retreating to the Monsoon District was not a dangerous place, and they could advance or retreat. In order to prevent Sleepless City from becoming a public enemy, he had no choice but to open the Monsoon District.
Qetesh was in charge of opening the Monsoon District while Douglas went to organize the resources of Sleepless City.
Pine stayed at the frontline of the resistance. He was the strongest, and he had to ensure that the infected wizards would not break through another line of defense.
Pine stood at the entrance of the Monsoon District. Looking at the thousands of clown apprentices and the six clown wizards at the front, his heart was filled with complicated feelings.
When he went into seclusion a week ago, Sleepless City was still bustling with life, filled with singing and dancing. However, a week later, it had become a city of circus in the Dark Realm.
It was so ironic that Sleepless City had fallen into ruin.
"Wizard Payne, Professor Anglo is here." A wizard from the Tower of Hurricane walked to Payne.
Pine turned around. Deep in the darkness of the street, a beautiful street lamp shone a circle of light. The two shadows were elongated by the street lamp.
It was Douglas, who was wearing a gold-rimmed white robe, and Anglo, who was wearing a black uniform and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Payne looked at Douglas, who nodded at him and spoke through the Spirit Bond, "I've moved all the books, scrolls, and resources into the Sorcerer's Garden."
After making sure there was nothing to worry about, Payne turned to Anglo. Without any pleasantries, he asked directly, "Is there a way to deal with these light spots?"
Anglo did not answer the question directly. Instead, he changed the topic. "According to the World String, something similar happened not long ago."
"These light spots too?" The Magi present all looked over. "Is there really such a thing? Why didn't I hear about it? "
Anglo adjusted his glasses. "It happened at Midnight Sovereign in the underground world. I don't know the details, but I'm sure someone from Brute Cavern must have heard about it, right?"
Anglo looked around and asked, "Huh? Has Mister Phantom left?"
Anglo's words prompted the other wizards to search for Sunders' whereabouts. But just as Anglo said, they couldn't find Sunders anywhere.
"Mister Radiance was looking for Mister Sunders not long ago." Some of them vaguely remembered what happened in Sunders' Hut. However, it was too chaotic back then to pay attention to other people's movements.
"Don't bother. Mister Phantom took his student to the outer city." Payne spoke up.
As soon as he said this, all the Magi fell silent. Why would Sunders go to the outer city at such a time? Was he confident that he could get his hands on the Mystery item?
Most of the wizards believed that Sunders was going for the Mystery item. However, no one dared to follow him into the outer city despite knowing Sunders' ambition.
"Maybe someone from Brute Cavern knows something." It was "Whiplash Witch" Rak 'Ksa. She was very interested in the Mystery item, which was evident from the fact that she sent all of her apprentices to the outer city. She licked her lips and spoke in a low voice, "Mister Phantom is gone. But I think he's not the only one from Brute Cavern. Filo is here too, isn't he?"
Everyone turned to look at a secluded corner.
At the top of a church, Filo was wearing a fiery red robe. He leaned against the side of the church, his eyes filled with confusion as he stared at the specks of light outside the Shelter of Darkness.
"Filo, do you know what Mister Phantom is going to do?" Rak 'Ksa flicked her tail and jumped to Filo's side. She gave him a flirtatious wink.
Filo didn't seem interested. "How should I know what Mister Sunders is going to do? Besides, why should he tell you what he's going to do? "
Filo didn't show any signs of violence. Even if they did, Filo wouldn't tell them.
"You're right. We don't have the right to ask about Mister Phantom. Why don't you tell us what happened in Midnight Sovereign, Mister Filo? It's related to the survival of Sleepless City. Moreover, many of the acolytes from the major Magi organizations have been defeated here. Even six official Magi have fallen. I have to give them an explanation, don't I? "Payne said.
Midnight Sovereign was a mortal city, after all. Wizards usually didn't care about the lives of mortals. However, when it came to those strange light spots, they had to talk about it openly.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Filo hesitated for a moment before deciding to divulge the information he had obtained from Midnight Sovereign.
After all, some apprentices from Brute Cavern were also affected by the light spots.
Filo: "A similar incident did happen in Midnight Sovereign City before, but it was resolved perfectly. Wizard Payne didn't say all of them died here. The light spots are controlling them, but once they're expelled, they'll improve their constitution. "
The light spots could be expelled? The wizards looked at each other in confusion.
Filo's words seemed to light up the gloomy sky with a ray of sunlight. Payne sighed in relief. As long as the light spots could be expelled, there was still hope.
However, Filo's next sentence caused the first glimmer of light to appear in the sky, and thick, dark clouds began to gather once more.
Filo shrugged. "But I don't know how to do that."
"What's the point of saying that? Who knows how to do it? "
Filo sighed. "As far as I know, Mister Phantom and his student are the only ones who can do it. No one else can do it."
As Wizard Payne said, Mister Phantom and Angor already went to the outer city. So … "
Filo's unfinished words caused everyone to sigh. Why did the person who could resolve this matter choose to leave at a time like this?
However, even though everyone was somewhat emotional, it was still much better than before when they were completely hopeless. They all had the same thought in their minds. Even Mister Phantom's student? It shouldn't be hard to expel the light spots, right?
Pine also had the same idea, but his focus was not on how to solve the problem of the light spots. Instead, he was more concerned about where these light spots came from.
"Mister Filo, can you tell us more about Midnight Sovereign?"
…
Angor had been waiting in the gravity garden for a while. He was anxious, but he had no idea what was going on outside. He could only wait.
Fortunately, Sunders placed him in the open-air library in the Gravity Garden. Angor was not bored here. He could read some academic magazines or learn some basic cantrip scrolls. Even worse, he had Toby to accompany him.
About an hour later, Angor felt a familiar spirit power enveloping him.
After a brief moment of dizziness, he found himself in a quiet stone room.
A candle flame flickered in the distance. Sunders was leaning against the wall. He smelled like blood.
"You're hurt, professor?" Angor quickly walked to him.
Sunders waved a hand. "I'm fine. Just some minor injuries. They're almost healed. I called you here because I have a question for you. "
Seeing Sunders' serious expression, Angor quickly adjusted his attitude and nodded.
"Have you heard of a name, Yorkshire?"
