Sunders put away the crystal, but he wasn't going to let Angor out yet.
Angor decided to use this chance to see if he could incorporate the Mystery energy he sensed from Spotty into his illusion.
With that in mind, Angor sat up straight and tried to recall what he felt when he was traveling through the Mystery energy.
The endless cycle, the unknown changes, and the conflicting yet strangely harmonious laws … Angor tried his best to recall the memories and tried his best to get a better picture of them in his mind.
When he felt it was about time, he slowly opened his eyes.
His mind space was filled with darkness. With the help of the Axes of the Universe, Angor quickly gathered mana from his mana pool to form a cantrip model.
It was the most basic illusion.
His instinct told him that the illusion was going to work this time. He had done this many times when he was in his soul form, and he was sure that the illusion would show up in the next second.
Angor's eyes glowed brighter and brighter. The illusion was about to take shape, and the mysterious power was beginning to take shape.
Suddenly, a familiar spirit energy enveloped him.
Before he could react, the illusion was destroyed. Next, Angor felt his vision blur for a second before he was taken out of the Gravity Garden by Sunders.
"Remember, don't tell anyone about what happened in Sleepless City." Sunders' voice came from the other side of the room. "Remember, don't tell anyone about what happened in Sleepless City."
Angor nodded and began to observe his surroundings.
He was no longer at the edge of the Dark Domain. Instead, he was in a large hall with a domed ceiling. The hall was like a square in the inner chamber, with a diameter of about a hundred meters. Above his head was a colorful light source, as well as bright runes.
Wizards in robes of different colors gathered in groups of two or three. Angor could hear them whispering to each other from time to time.
He was in the middle of the hall, surrounded by official Magi.
While Angor was still observing the situation, Sunders had already moved toward the crowd not far away. He noticed that Wizard Payne, Qetesh, and Douglas, who were all ready to fight each other earlier, were all there.
Greya, Nausica, and the others were resting against a round stone pillar on the other side of the hall.
Sunders' people were obviously the leaders of the major organizations, so Angor did not dare to approach them. Instead, he walked toward Greya's side.
Along the way, Angor could feel people looking at him. But when he tried to look closer, he didn't see anything.
"You're Angor, right? May I have a word with you?" A cold voice reached Angor's ears.
The voice came from right in front of him.
Angor looked up and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man standing in front of him.
Angor recognized the man. His neatly combed hairstyle, clean and serious face, the pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the wooden board with a pile of parchment papers in it all pointed him to Angor. He was Professor "Plucker" Angor, a Prophet from White Coral Floating Island.
Angor did not dare to ignore the inquiry of a formal wizard. He quickly expressed his respect.
Angor wasn't someone who liked small talk, so he went straight to the point and asked about what happened in the darkness.
Angor's answers were always "I don't know." If he couldn't answer, he would answer with silence.
"You're the one who created the energy storm, aren't you? Why don't you let the energy storm continue? Who knows, maybe the Dark Domain will disappear? "
Before Angor could answer, Sunders' voice came from the other side of the Spirit Bond. "Prophets don't rely on your current answer to predict the answer. Try to put all the blame on me, and get away from Angor as fast as you can. "
Angor chose his words carefully. "Professor, it's my professor's decision. I don't know the reason."
Angor didn't believe Angor's answer, but he kept staring at Angor. I only stared at Angor closely. From his small movements, the angle of his eyebrows, his heart rate, his sweat rate, and the pheromones he emitted, I was able to infer something deeper.
Anglo asked, "Then why did you leave the Dark Realm alone when Rak 'ksa saw you?"
Angor considered for a moment and was about to answer when Angor added, "So, you found a way out by accident, right?"
Before Angor could react, Angor smiled at him. "Thank you for your answer. I still have a lot of questions, but I'll leave it at that for today. Otherwise, Mister Phantom's eyes can really kill you. "
With that, Angor turned around and prepared to leave. He suddenly thought of something and turned back to Angor. "Mara is right. Your personality is completely different from Mister Phantom's." Angor adjusted his glasses. "Maybe the life of an academic is more suitable for you."
Angor straightened his back and walked away.
Angor, on the other hand, kept walking toward Greya. Angor felt like he was in a passive position during his conversation with Angor. Maybe it was the difference in strength between the two of them, or maybe it was something else.
He remembered that he did not say anything useful, but Anglo's response was as if he had received a lot of information.
Puzzled, he walked to Greya's side.
Greya saw Angor's puzzled look and asked for the reason.
Angor explained his conversation with Angor to Greya.
"Oh, that's it?" Greya didn't mind. Don't worry about that old pedant Angor. He likes to act like he knows everything, but I don't think he's really that good. "
"Next time, don't just keep quiet when he asks you something. This will allow him to observe some real information from your body's reaction. "
Spivet chimed in, "Actually, it's easy to deal with Anglo. All you have to do is make up a story. As Greya said, that old pedant is best at collecting information, organizing it, and making up a theory. Basically, he's good at imagining things. You just need to fool him and let him come up with a good story in his head. "
Greya chuckled. "Spivet is right. During the Demon Blood War, he used this trick to fool many Prophets from Brilliance Plane. You should learn from him."
Angor nodded and let it go with a smile.
"By the way, what happened just now? Why did they stop fighting all of a sudden?"
Greya shrugged. "They're scared, I guess. Your professor didn't tell you the details, but I think Payne must have agreed to something. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so bad. "
Angor looked back and saw a group of wizards discussing something. As Greya said, Payne and Qetesh didn't look happy at all.
The mediation between Magi could not escape the conflict of interests. Wizards cherished their lives, and they would always try to negotiate as long as they could get something out of it.
Time passed. Angor was still chatting with the wizards at first, but when he ran out of things to talk about, he slowly sank into his own thoughts.
He didn't want to forget about the Mystery he felt inside Spotty's body.
"Let's go." Sunders' voice came from the other side of the Spirit Bond.
Angor opened his eyes and saw Sunders talking to Greya and the others. "Greya, take them back to Brute Cavern. Flora will take care of Spivet." Sunders tossed a gold coin to Greya. "This is a pass to Phantom Island. Goode will arrange a place for you."
"What about you?" Greya frowned.
"I have something to do with Angor, so I won't be going back for now. But it won't take long." With that, Sunders led Angor out of the hall.
Toby, who was perched on Greya's shoulder, quickly flapped his wings when he saw Angor leaving.
Greya took out a single-use space capsule and handed it to Toby. "There's a Mana Flower inside. Stay with Angor. He needs your protection."
Toby flapped his wings, said goodbye to Greya, and flew to Angor's side.
Angor patted Toby's head and asked Sunders what they were going to do. Was it related to the darkness?
"Don't worry about Sleepless City. No matter who asks you, just blame it on me," Sunders said. "Let's go to the underground city. They've locked up all the infected apprentices there. Once we get the parasites out, we'll leave."
The underground city of Sleepless City was similar to an underground market. However, the place was now filled with wailing ghosts and howling wolves. They could hear strange singing coming from inside.
All the entrances to the underground city were sealed. The only way in was an open patio. Once someone was caught, they would throw the parasites into the city.
The area around the patio was the most heavily guarded area in Monsoon Zone. Most of the guards were wizards.
After going through several obstacles, they finally reached the patio.
"Did you see my student in Sleepless City, Sunders?" Wallace showed up out of nowhere, dressed in pure white robes.
Sunders glanced at Angor. "You go first."
The wizards guarding the area raised an eyebrow in surprise. They didn't expect Sunders to let Angor enter the underground city alone. There were thousands of parasitized apprentices in there!
Angor nodded to Sunders and jumped into the patio without hesitation.
"No." Angor heard Sunders answering Wallace's question before entering the courtyard.
