"Yorkshire is a mute servant," Sunders said.
"He used to serve my parents. When my teacher fell ill after my parents passed away, Yorkshire has been serving him ever since," Angor said. He then told Sunders about Yorkshire's life. Yorkshire was crippled by a slave trader, and Old Padt bought him and kept him in Padt Manor ever since.
There was nothing special about Yorkshire's life. The luckiest thing about him was that he met Old Padt, who gave him a place to return to.
Since York Xia Tiansheng could not speak and had a low sense of existence, Angor did not know who this person was. It took Angor a while to remember who this person was.
"Mute servant, Yorkshire," Sunders repeated the name with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Professor, why did you ask about Yorkshire?" Angor asked, "Are you saying that the unknown monster from the Nightmare Realm is Yorkshire?"
Since Fox, Froggy, and Ollie all had corresponding nightmare monsters in Padt Manor, it made sense for Yorkshire to show up here.
"I think so," Sunders said. "When I entered the outer city, I saw a lot of infected people. They were singing strange songs, just like what happened in Midnight Sovereign. But apart from the names of Queen, Fox, and Froggy, there was another name I didn't recognize.
"Yorkshire," Sunders said.
"I was ambushed by a strange enemy in the outer city. I think it's Yorkshire."
If Sunders used the word "ambush", the ambush must have succeeded.
"He's stronger than the fox and the frog. He's at least a level-2 truth-finder wizard, which means he's not a nobody."
"You were injured by it, professor? What does it look like? "
"It's just a small injury. It did it when I was unprepared. As for its face … I couldn't see it clearly because of all the darkness. But I'm sure it's not a human. "
Well, it made sense. Apart from "Queen Shava" and "Shava", the other famous nightmare monsters he met all had strange appearances.
For example, foxes, frogs, and even Olga was just a toy owl.
While thinking about Auri, he suddenly remembered something. During the grand auction at Twilight Auction, he used his Nightmare Domain to summon Auri. Back then, he tried to trick Auri into telling him who else would be "performing" in the upcoming auction apart from the harp-wielding fox and the singing frog.
At that time, Ollie seemed to have mentioned Yorkshire.
What did Auri say back then?
He opened the box of memories and saw all kinds of colorful scenes, beautiful scenes, and fragments of memories exploding in his mind like fireworks.
He did not have Sunders' hyperthymesia ability, but with his current spirit power, it was not hard for him to find clues as long as he had experienced it before.
After a long while, the misty memory leaped into his line of sight.
"I remember it! Olga said that Yorkshire is a puppeteer! "
Sunders was about to leave the Gravity Garden to find Greya and see if he could get his hands on the Mystery Item. However, Angor's shout stopped him from doing so.
"Isn't Yorkshire a mute servant?" Sunders was puzzled.
Angor shook his head. "I mean Yorkshire in the Nightmare Realm. Auri told me about it when I summoned her at Twilight Auction. She said 'Yorkshire is a Puppeteer, and she's going to perform strings'."
A string performance.
Sunders didn't know how exactly Yorkshire did it, but he could tell something from Yorkshire's class and its performance.
Maybe Yorkshire's ability is more of a control type? Sunders thought to himself.
"Okay, I got it. You stay in the garden for now. I'll go check it out. "
…
While Sunders and Angor entered the Gravity Garden, the wizards in the inner city of Sleepless City were startled by what they saw outside the city.
The energy storm Angor caused was a tornado that spread from the inner part of the darkness to the outer part.
Even though they were in the Monsoon District, they could clearly see the horrifying tornado that directly pierced through the Dark Domain and stirred up the surrounding wind and clouds in the sky.
"That's an energy storm? Someone caused an energy storm in there and broke through the darkness? "Douglas asked in surprise." Could it be His Excellency Phantom? "
Phantom and his apprentice were the only ones who managed to enter the outer city. It wasn't impossible for Phantom to cause such an energy storm.
"That's not all. Did you notice that the energy storm is absorbing the darkness?" The one who shouted was Utto Academy's Tuluxiu. Utto Academy was a gathering place for light Magi, and almost 80% of the Magi there were from academies. Tuluxiu was no exception. Although the academic faction's combat power was not as good as the practical faction's, in terms of insight into energy, they would far surpass the practical faction due to their own profound accumulation.
Turuxiu's words attracted everyone's attention.
A moment later, Heroline from White Coral Floating Island Academy agreed. "You're right. The darkness' color is getting thinner."
Not only that, but the strange light spots were also being devoured by the energy storm.
"Using an energy storm to solve the problem … Mister Phantom is a genius. No wonder he dared to go in alone," Fayne from Nocturnal Forest spoke in a hopeful tone.
Fayne's words made everyone think. If Sunders really did solve the problem … Their expressions changed. Some were happy, some were hesitant, some were indifferent, and some were jealous.
For the citizens of Sleepless City, it was a good thing. Their foundation, which had been built for thousands of years, would not be destroyed overnight. But for the other organizations, it was a different story. Sunders was basically handing the Mystery item to them, which meant they could no longer compete for it.
Just as everyone was having different thoughts, Krate suddenly said, "The energy storm has disappeared."
Everyone immediately looked over. Just as Kratos had said, the tornado had disappeared without any warning. The darkness, which was already slightly thin, was once again filled with a deep darkness.
"Did Mister Phantom fail?"
"That can't be right. That energy storm wasn't weak, and its energy level was still increasing. How did it disappear just like that?"
Everyone's thoughts changed. Everyone's originally complicated emotions changed again at this moment. Even if they wanted to get the Mystery item, they had to wait for the darkness to disappear first. Now that the darkness was reignited, they might lose their minds if they didn't check it carefully.
Anglo suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood as the crowd discussed among themselves.
"Professor Anglo, what's wrong?" Douglas stepped forward.
Payne was standing right next to Anglo, so he could clearly see that Anglo had started plucking the strings as soon as the energy storm appeared. Was it because his plucking had failed?
"I forced myself to pluck the string and saw something interesting," Anglo wiped the blood from his mouth and said with an unreadable expression.
"Something interesting?" Payne was puzzled.
"I was able to see what was going on inside the darkness when the energy was fading." Anglo rubbed his forehead. "That energy storm wasn't Mister Phantom's doing."
The energy storm wasn't Sunders' doing?
"But the energy storm couldn't have appeared out of thin air, right?"
Anglo added, "Mister Phantom wasn't the one who created the energy storm, but he was the one who stopped it."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other.
They believed that the energy storm could really destroy the darkness. But why would Sunders stop it?
Payne and the other Sleepless City cultivators were the most upset. Why did Sunders destroy the hope when he saw it?
Anglo shrugged. "I don't know. I didn't see much. But I do know that the energy storm was caused by Sunders' student."
Anglo's words shocked everyone again.
An Acolyte had caused an energy storm? Was this a joke?
But Anglo's expression told them otherwise. "I remember Sunders' student is called Angor Padt. He's very talented in alchemy, and he once learned about Mystery items."
"Yeah. He's just as famous as his teacher in alchemy circles."
"Maybe he used some kind of alchemy item to trigger the energy storm?"
While everyone was discussing, Mara was hiding in a dark corner and looking at the dark outer city in the distance with mixed feelings.
Had his growth already reached such a stage?
It didn't matter how Angor caused the energy storm, but he was still seen by all wizards. Mara shook his head and sighed.
"What kind of monster did I bring back from the Old Earth?"
…
In the Dark Domain, in a narrow alley, a black shadow flashed past.
When the wind stopped blowing, Sunders stood on the wall of the alley and looked down at the two apprentices who were twisting their necks and doing a strange dance. He shook his head and sighed.
"You know them, sir?" Angor's voice reached his ears.
Sunders nodded. "They're Wallace's students. I didn't know they were in Sleepless City."
Angor slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Sunders. His figure was faintly discernible. His feet did not touch the ground as he floated in midair.
Sunders looked back at Angor. "Your soul is as solid as a real body now. I bet Ness will be scared when he sees you."
Sunders told Angor to leave him in the gravity garden, but Angor still had other things to do, such as killing Hookdick and finding Nausica.
He didn't know whether Nausica was in Sleepless City or not, but since Hookdick and Shiliew were both here, Angor assumed that Nausica was here as well.
Therefore, he didn't want to stay in the gravity garden.
However, leaving the gravity garden meant that he could absorb the nightmare energy and cause another energy storm. This was the wizarding world, after all. The nightmare energy had just arrived and wasn't fully stabilized yet.
In such a situation, he chose to eject his soul from his body.
His right hand would remain normal in this state, and he wouldn't absorb any nightmare energy in the darkness.
Sunders agreed with Angor's decision. He set up a small space in the gravity garden to maintain his physical body, then followed Sunders to the outer city.
