A few minutes ago.
The Dalmatian led them into the black fog. He led the way, and the others followed him.
Greya, Gragg, Spivet, and the young man named Spivet all stared at the puppy in confusion. Judging from the puppy's skillful steps, it seemed that the puppy could lead them out of the mist. But judging from its appearance and energy signature, it was just an ordinary puppy.
They looked at the puppy inquisitively, but they knew that they would not get any useful information even if they asked Sunders. So, they held back their curiosity and followed the puppy.
However, Spivet, who was always a blabbermouth, did not know why Sunders wanted him to become Flora's disciple even though he managed to hold back his curiosity.
"Why do you want me to become Flora's disciple? Instead of becoming her disciple, I might as well become your disciple instead. Sumesh's disciple is fine too. I heard he became a truth-finder not long ago. You know, only truth-finders can teach me useful things. "
Sunders spoke in a cold tone, "You're not qualified to become my disciple. As for Sumesh, since he's a truth-finder, I no longer have the right to make decisions about him. So, you have no choice but to become Flora's disciple. "
"What makes you think I'm not qualified? After all, I am an official … wizard. "Spivet's voice dropped a few octaves as he reached the end of his sentence. It was obvious that he wasn't confident enough.
"You used to be a wizard, yes. But now, you're just a mortal." Sunders paused and gave Spivet a meaningful look. "Next time, remember who you are when you address someone."
With that, Sunders ignored Spivet. Spivet was stunned in place for a long time, and the color on his face kept changing. It was very interesting. After a while, Spivet gritted his teeth and said, "Damn you. You're turning your back on me? Let's wait and see. "
Sunders' words reminded Spivet of something. With his current strength, he would not be far from death if he still acted the way he used to in the wizarding world. Before he recovered his strength, he should know who he really was. Otherwise, he would be the one seeking death in the outside world.
Spivet also sensed an unfriendly glare directed at him.
It came from a woman standing diagonally above him.
Her name was Nausica.
Spivet looked at her and saw Nausica giving him an evil grin. She pointed at him with her silver metal arm and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Spivet's expression changed instantly. He almost forgot that he was going to take over this girl's body! Now, he was a mortal, while she was a level-2 apprentice. She would be his friend in Brute Cavern in the future. Did that mean he had to live under her shadow?
Spivet felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this possibility.
"Oh, Nausica …" He smiled and approached Nausica.
A moment later, Spivet sighed in relief and separated from Nausica with a big smile.
"What did he say to you?" Angor asked in a low voice. Why are you smiling so happily? "
Nausica lowered her voice. "He's afraid that I'll get back at him, so he told me about the Nether Demon Bloodline. He also told me how to increase the success rate."
Shan listened from the side and could not help but click her tongue. "What a coward."
"That's called knowing what's good for you." Spivet moved away, but his ears were still alert.
Angor chuckled. He knew Nausica's personality well. Even if Spivet entered Brute Cavern, as long as he did not do anything to Nausica, she would not retaliate. She did not even have enough time to train.
Besides, Spivet did try to take over Nausica's body, but he did not succeed. Nausica, on the other hand, received something from Spivet that might change her life forever: the Nether Demon Bloodline.
Nausica's original plan was to save up for a few years, buy a regular bloodline, and become a wizard first. Then, she would undergo bloodline purification. Every step had its drawbacks, but no doubt, it was the usual path for a Bloodline Wizard.
But now, with the extremely valuable Nether Demon Bloodline, her future path would be completely changed.
Nausica was willing to tolerate Spivet's malicious behavior after getting such a great benefit. She made a throat-slitting gesture just to scare Spivet. She did not expect Spivet to tell her about the "after-sales service" of the Nether Demon Bloodline.
As they talked, the black mist around them grew thinner and thinner. Now, it was only a thin layer between gray and white.
The puppy stopped moving and sat on the ground obediently. "Woof!" It barked at Angor.
Angor's Dog Language was only at level-0, but he somehow understood what it meant.
"We're here. One more step and we'll be out of the darkness," Angor explained.
"I think we've walked for hundreds of meters …" Shan was puzzled. "Is the black mist really that big?"
"No. It only takes one step to get into the mist from the outside. But it's a long way to get out. I think there's something like a maze inside. "
"A maze magic array?" Greya rubbed her temples. "I've been trying to remember the dog's path. Now I can't even tell the direction."
"It's really a magic array. The algorithm must be changing every time we go in and out. How can you remember it? "Sunders scoffed.
"Hey, don't tell me you didn't remember it? I just noticed that your eyeballs are moving faster than mine. " Greya kept complaining. She sent a voice transmission to Angor. "Do you know what it means to be calm on the outside? See? That's what it means to be calm on the outside. "
Of course, Sunders sensed the voice transmission. He walked to them with a blank expression. "You all can leave now. I have something to tell Angor."
"What is it? Why are you being so secretive?" Greya asked.
"It's none of your business." Sunders looked at her. "There are a lot of infected apprentices, wizards, and other parasites out there. Remember to protect the others. "
Greya wanted to say "why?", but when she saw Sunders' grim expression, she quickly nodded without saying anything. She had already teased Sunders several times today. She only dared to do so because she knew how far to go between them. She would only make a harmless joke. However, if she really wanted to, she wouldn't do it even if there were a hundred of her.
Greya led the others away from the darkness.
Only Angor, Sunders, and the dog were left in the thin mist. Even Toby was taken away by Greya.
"Professor?"
Sunders pointed at the puppy on the ground. "Can you take it with you?"
Angor shook his head. He already tried to get the dog to show him the way, but the dog didn't seem to want to leave the darkness.
"Take it by force then."
Angor hesitated for a moment and walked to the puppy. He grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and tried to move it out of the mist. However, when he was about to take a step forward, the dog suddenly flashed away from his hand and sat down nearby while barking at him. "Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Sunders narrowed his eyes. Angor already told him how strange the puppy was. Angor's guess might not be correct, but he was sure it had something to do with Mystery.
He had to take it away!
Sunders' main goal in this trip was to get the harp, and he even used the Cursing Puppet. However, the fox was too smart. It didn't give him a chance and ran away as soon as it sensed the presence of Mystery.
Sunders couldn't help but feel frustrated.
The darkness was slowly turning into an interlayer space, and Yorkshire, who controlled the interlayer space, was invincible.
It was almost impossible for Sunders to take the Mystery harp from the interlayer space.
The chance of getting the harp was slim, but the dog was still a good target. Even if the dog might end up in Angor's hands in the end, it was not a big deal.
Sunders stepped forward and decided to capture the puppy with his own hands. But he soon realized that the puppy was as fast as an ordinary dog when facing Angor. Angor could catch it at any time. But when facing Toby, she was much faster than Angor and Toby, who had already activated the sequence of gravity. She disappeared into the mist in a blink of an eye.
Sunders didn't want to look back. It wasn't easy to find the puppy again.
As Sunders wondered if he should bring Angor back to look for the dog, the puppy came back and sat down on the ground, looking at Angor.
"Is it messing with us?" Sunders' expression turned serious.
Angor had no idea what was wrong with the dog. He called "Spotty" and slowly approached the dog. Finally, he caught the dog in his hand.
While stroking the puppy's fur, Angor returned to Sunders.
When he tried to approach Sunders, Blob began to struggle.
"Stay there. I'll take it into my gravity garden," Sunders spoke to Angor through their Spirit Bond.
Angor stood still, and Spotty finally stopped struggling.
Angor waited for the puppy to disappear, but Sunders still didn't say anything. Spotty stayed on Angor's hand obediently.
A moment later, he shook his head. "No. The dog doesn't exist in the gravity garden. I can take you in, but not this puppy. "
Sunders didn't know what to do after coming to this conclusion.
The puppy didn't want to leave, and it had Mystery abilities and speed that couldn't be restrained by them.
They tried everything they could, but the puppy still refused to leave. As long as it turned around and ran into the mist, it would be able to escape their pursuit.
In the end, even Sunders gave up. It wasn't because they were weak. It was because the puppy was too mysterious.
"Forget it. Let's go."
Sunders and Angor decided to give up and leave.
However, the puppy that had been hiding in the same spot suddenly ran up to them and bit Angor's pants.
