"If you don't think 'for the Mystery item' is enough, you can add 'we're here to save you'," Sunders said in a plain tone.
Angor and Sunders didn't seem to want to answer her question.
Greya was a smart girl, and her life was still in Sunders' hands. "Then I'll accept the second reason."
He changed the topic with a single sentence.
Sunders continued to study the strings while Greya looked at Angor again. "You asked me how I met that arrogant fox. It all started when the darkness came."
Greya told Angor what happened to her in a simple way.
Her story was simple. When the darkness came, the entire outer city was sealed off. She couldn't leave, so she tried to use a teleportation array to escape.
Back then, the dimension energy in Sleepless City was still stable, which was evident from how Douglas opened a plane passageway and brought out all the wizards stationed in Sleepless City. If Greya wanted to use a teleportation array to leave, she would be able to do so at that time.
To Greya's surprise, the teleportation array was already destroyed by the enemy, and it was already in the process of being destroyed.
The person who had destroyed the teleportation array was none other than the Fox Zither Player.
When Greya arrived at the teleportation hall, she bumped into Fox. One of them wanted to destroy the array, while the other wanted to use it to escape. A fight was about to break out.
The fox's strength was actually only at the Sorcerer level. However, it had a mysterious harp, and its battle prowess had increased by quite a bit.
Greya, on the other hand, had a spirit of truth, but her physical strength had yet to reach the level of a wizard. She was only as strong as an ordinary wizard. Facing the fox, he was subdued without any chance to retaliate.
The only thing Greya could not figure out was that the fox did not kill her after subduing her. Instead, the fox played a strange tune and released countless strings to bind Greya to the spot. Then, the fox left.
"… But I think I understand now. Maybe it's trying to wear me down so it can infect me with these light spots. That's much better than killing me. "Greya sighed." If you didn't come, it might have succeeded. "
Angor frowned after listening to Greya's explanation.
"So the teleportation array here was destroyed by Fox? In other words, they did it on purpose. But what are the benefits of doing so? Are they planning to turn this place into their stronghold? " Angor frowned. He knew that the queen always wanted to conquer the wizarding world, and she had already developed several bases, such as Pocratee.
Perhaps there were other similar strongholds besides Pocratee. However, since those were not exposed, it could be seen that they were very well hidden.
But this time, it was a big move. Directly occupying the hinterland of a quasi-large Adept organization?
"Maybe they just want to announce to the world that they are about to step onto the stage of the wizarding world, and unfortunately, Sleepless City has become that stage." Of course, there's also the possibility that the tunnel just happened to appear in Sleepless City, and they were forced to do so. "
"But there's one thing we can be sure of. After causing such a big ruckus, they are not going to hide anymore." Sunders frowned. "Perhaps this is just the beginning. They will do something else in the future."
"The shadow of the Demon God is still watching the southern region. Now, something even more powerful than the Demon God is baring its fangs at this world." Sunders shook his head. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing if the shadow of the future was hovering above his head.
Angor remained silent. Whether it was the shadow of the demon god or the Nightmare Realm, it was always the people who suffered.
Maybe he should start planning for the future of the Padt Family. However, he had to be strong enough to protect his family first.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Something even more dangerous than the shadow of the demon god is looking at the south? You're not talking about this darkness, are you? "Greya could not understand what they were talking about.
Again, Sunders ignored Greya's question. Since Sunders did not want to talk about it, Angor did not dare to ask.
"Fine. It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. But at least you can tell me where that arrogant fox came from, right? "Greya said," I was tortured by that fox. You have to tell me the truth, right? "
No one spoke for a moment.
After a while, Sunders spoke again, "Wherever your true body is, the fox will come from there."
"Nightmare Realm? You mean the fox came from the Nightmare Realm? "Greya gasped.
Sunders did not answer, which meant he admitted it.
Greya frowned. "I think I know what you're talking about now. If it's really from the Nightmare Realm, then those legendary monsters are really as powerful as the shadow of the demon god."
"I think you misunderstood. The Nightmare Realm is divided into different realms. That fox came from a place far more dangerous than where your real body is. Legendary? Maybe it's not even a pawn there, "Sunders said in a cold tone.
The Legendary level was not even considered a pawn?
This was the only thing that echoed in Greya's mind.
If what Sunders said was true, wouldn't they destroy the entire southern region with a snap of their fingers?
"Creatures of that level are not something you and I can worry about right now. If they really come, let the world's consciousness worry about it. It won't just watch the wizarding world get destroyed. "Sunders pretended he did not care, but no one knew what he was really thinking.
"You said the fox is only as strong as a regular wizard?" Sunders suddenly changed the topic.
Greya nodded. She tried to hide the greed in her eyes. "If it wasn't for that mysterious harp, I wouldn't have lost to an animal!"
A level-1 wizard, huh? Sunders sneered. He clearly remembered that the fox was at least as strong as a level-2 wizard during Twilight Auction. But now, it lost an entire level in less than a year. As expected, without the help of the nightmare aura, it was impossible for them to maintain their strength.
In other words, this was the best time to kill the fox and the frog. If they stayed in this darkness for a longer time and absorbed the nightmare aura, they would slowly recover their strength, and it would be difficult to kill them again.
Sunders collected his thoughts and spoke to Greya. "It's a little difficult to cut these strings. I tried using my strongest attack just now, but I couldn't even leave a mark on them.
"Good thing they don't have any loops. The only way now is to pull them out of your body one by one," Sunders said. "It might hurt, but you must endure it."
There were more than twenty threads piercing through her body. Just the thought of pulling them out was unbearable.
However, Greya remained calm. "Do it. If I can't even endure the pain, I won't be qualified to be called a wizard."
Sunders nodded and chopped down all the pillars around them. Following a series of loud noises and a cloud of dust, Sunders quickly pulled the strings out of Greya's body.
Sunders heard muffled groans coming from the dust.
Angor couldn't see what was going on inside, but he clearly saw warm blood spurting out through the dust. Judging from the degree of the blood, Greya was in a terrible condition.
When the dust settled, they saw Greya half-kneeling in a pool of her own blood. Her body was covered in blood, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Her veins were bulging on her forehead, and her eyes were red as if they were going to shed tears of blood.
Angor could feel the pain just by looking at it, but Greya didn't make a sound. She only knelt on the ground and panted heavily.
Sunders released another "Resuscitate" spell. Greya's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not long after, her skin became smooth again.
The wounds on her body were healed, but it would take some time for her to recover from the blood loss. Greya held on for a while before she finally gave in and fainted on the ground.
Sunders didn't even look at the unconscious Greya. He turned around and left.
Angor thought Sunders would bring Greya into the gravity garden, but it seemed that he was too naive.
Still, he couldn't just leave Greya here. In the end, Toby put Greya inside Snowy Feather.
Now that Greya was saved, Sunders only had one goal left: kill Fox and take the harp.
Angor had his own goals as well. His first goal was to find Nausica. If possible, he would kill Hookdick while he was at it. So, he planned to part ways with Sunders again.
But he suddenly saw Sunders standing at the entrance of the teleportation hall.
Is he waiting for me? Angor approached him with a puzzled look.
But when he reached Sunders' side, he noticed that Sunders wasn't waiting for him. Sunders was looking at the square in the distance with a strange expression.
Angor followed his gaze and saw a dark shadow slowly walking out from the dark depths of the square.
With the help of the Illumination spell in the hall, Angor could clearly see the shadow's appearance.
"Is that … a puppy?" Angor was puzzled.
It was the spotted puppy that brought Angor here not long ago. At this moment, it was slowly walking over with its short legs.
The puppy was about to attack Sunders, but when it saw Angor, it quickly wagged its tail and barked at Angor.
"That's the puppy I met on my way here." Angor pointed at the puppy.
Sunders frowned. To him, the puppy was just an ordinary dog.
He thought that the dog might be the unknown nightmare creature, Yorkshire. But now, it seemed that it was not the case.
But why did he feel like something was wrong?
