“Anyway, it’s not wise to bother the Elder of Books when we have not determined the nature of cause yet.” Lady Mirror then comforted Lydia as she said, “Having no news itself is at least something—at least the situation isn’t completely out of control.”
“The important thing is,” Lady Mirror turned to Tree Spirit and said, “we need to get in touch with Twilight Well and learn everything we can. I don’t have enough energy to establish such a connection. Please help us contact the wizards inside Twilight Well, Mister Tree Spirit.”
The Tree Spirit didn’t look as anxious as the rest of the people. He even smiled in his usual casual manner. “Don’t worry. Sunders is right inside Twilight Well. Nothing will go too far when he’s around.”
“Mister Sunders is there?” Lydia was quite surprised. “Then why aren’t we getting any message from them? The entire Midnight Sovereign fell while Mister Sunders is watching?”
Tree Spirit pointed to Goode and said, “Of course we’re getting something. Butler Goode is here to convey Sunders’ message.”
They all looked at Goode, and the butler slowly bowed to Lady Mirror and Lydia. “Yes, my master sent a message from Twilight Well not long ago.”
“What did Mister Sunders say?” Lydia quickly questioned, “What’s the condition inside Twilight Well?”
“Mister Tree Spirit?!”
The ancestor soul walked to him with a bright smile. “Let me take a look. What did you use to escape Lady Mirror’s monitoring?”
Angor watched Tree Spirit’s gentle expression and felt his hair stand up.
In the next second, Tree Spirit trapped him in midair before he could react. Then, the mighty soul moved his hands all over Angor’s body until he sensed an invisible bracelet on Angor’s wrist.
“Ho… A bracelet that cannot be seen. I’ll take a look.” Tree Spirit closed his eyes and sent a surge of gentle energy over the item.
“Space ripples… A space bracelet? But it’s not strong. Only a low-tier space storage? The stronger mana ripple comes from some… runes? No, it’s a magic array,” Tree Spirit said. He then opened his eyes wide. “It’s a composite effect involving a magic array? Golly. What else are you hiding from us?”
Angor kicked his legs helplessly in the air. He felt greatly embarrassed when hanged like this by the Tree Spirit.
One of his kicks somehow landed on Tree Spirit’s chest, but the elder simply dusted it off. “Oh dear… I don’t know what will become of you if you keep studying from Sunders,” Tree Spirit said as he put Angor down. “Such an adorable little spirit you are. I’m so afraid that Sunders will create a terrible rascal out of you at this rate.”
Angor felt really bad after kicking the elder soul like that. But he quickly thought otherwise when he recalled how the man in front of him just picked him up like a kitten and touched him all over.
Angor pouted without speaking or apologizing.
Tree Spirit, on the other hand, didn’t mind this at all. To anyone else, Angor was a teenager who had not learned the way of adults. And to him, a great soul who had lived for countless ages, Angor was a mere toddler.
“It’s just a mid-tier charm, there’s no need to get all stingy,” Tree Spirit said. He neither took nor damaged Angor’s bracelet. He was only curious about the “reduced presence” effect of it. “Hey, tell me, which magic array did you use? Neat. How about giving me one later?”
Angor panted heavily. “… Infinite Reticence…”
“What is it?”
“The magic array is called Infinite Reticence!”
“Oh, I don’t know about magic arrays. You don’t need to tell me that.”
“Then why the hell did you ask?” Angor thought in rage. Previously, he regarded Tree Spirit as a knowledgeable, carefree, and experienced individual. Now, all his impression of the Tree Spirit was getting worse.
“Anyway, I’m here for something important,” Tree Spirit said as he dragged Angor. “Come with me to the Tree Spirit Palace. Sunders have a message for you.”
“Professor? He’s back?”
“Not yet. Lotus said something happened in Twilight Well,” Tree Spirit said as he flew into the sky with Angor pulled behind him.
Angor quickly asked Toby to return to his pocket. It seemed they needed to wait for another chance to meet their “non-human partner”.
“Lady Lotus is at Tree Spirit Palace too?” Angor asked in a small voice when Toby stuck his head from Angor’s pocket and gave his young master a pleading look.
Angor sighed and shook his head at Toby.
Toby grew a little sad and shrank back inside.
Angor already told Toby that Lydia had gotten the eyeless man. He promised to go ask Lydia about it when he earned enough money, and hopefully, he would be able to buy the eyeless man back. But he had to be strong enough to confront Lydia first. Otherwise, the woman would have no reason to negotiate with him.
Toby was simple-minded, but he wasn’t foolish. He already understood Angor’s words and chose to accept the truth.
Toby held hope that Greya might be alive. One day, Greya would return here as a glorious wizard who found the path of truth, and anyone who dared to humiliate Barbie’s Restaurant would regret their decision.
