Chapter 314: Incident in Midnight Sovereign

Could it be someone who wanted to ask him to make something, who was now looking for him, used a prophecy spell? That would be so wasteful!
It was commonly believed that prophecy spells posed the strongest backfire hazard among all arts. People almost never used such spells to directly predict the result of something, since such attempts easily provoked the world’s consciousness. When trying to look for someone, a prophet usually looked for other less relevant matters first. The prophet would then deduce the location of the target by referring to the stars, the weather, or the layout of stones. This was why prophets always acted absurdly in the views of people.
Now that Angor felt his “isolation” effect swaying, it was obvious that someone was checking on him directly.
And if a prophecy spell was involved, whoever that did it aimed to get his location immediately. It was a dangerous act.
He called Toby back and placed the invitation poster of Phantom Island into Toby’s Snowy Feather. He then ordered the bird to hide somewhere safe. It would be nice if someone simply wanted him to craft. But if someone were here to attack him… then he would let Toby escape to Phantom Island, and hopefully, he would ask for Sunders’ assistance.
As he tried to convince Toby into running away, someone spoke to him in a clear voice.
“So cautious. Am I so scary to you?”
…
The image was fuzzy, but Lady Mirror still managed to read the situation shown in it.
“They are the Moas? Good choice. They used a psycho as the sacrifice.”
Horey was not dead yet but very close now. His eyes still displayed total madness.
As someone who visited Tepikkhu’s mansion before, Lydia quickly recognized the man on the altar. “That’s no psycho. I think he’s the butler of the mansion. A prudent old man. How did it come to this?”
She didn’t worry about it too much. The man was going to die anyway.
Using Lady Mirror’s power, Lydia controlled the doll to approach Tepikkhu and Domino, who had been staring at the doll in shock.
“Keep it brief. Tell me what’s happening inside Midnight Sovereign.”
Lydia and Lady Mirror frowned harder and harder as they listened to Tepikkhu’s explanation.
“Ask them if any wizard from Twilight Well came out and dealt with the situation yet,” Lady Mirror said in a low voice.
The Twilight Well was only a legend to most residents in Midnight Sovereign, but an authoritative figure like Tepikkhu already knew about the place. However, he never really went there.
“Has any wizard come out and help?” Lydia asked.
Tepikkhu shook his head. “No. I’ve sent people to watch the entrance of Twilight Well ever since it started. No one came.”
“Something’s not right,” Lydia replied to Lady Mirror in a small voice. “Twilight’s got to do something by now if it’s just a new disease. Well, unless…”
“Oh, Lady Lotus, there’s one more thing,” Tepikkhu said to the floating doll. “Before entering the chamber, I saw a witch flying in the air while riding on a broomstick. She was wearing strange things and talking nonsense just like Butler Horey.”
Both Lady Mirror and Lydia grimaced at those words.
“Now this is trouble. It must be an apprentice who can use a flying vehicle. Yet the ‘disease’ can affect her. We must quarantine Midnight Sovereign, now!”
There were many types of illnesses that could affect supernaturals. But something that could do so in such a short time without allowing anyone to get the message out was something completely different. Also, no one had shown up from Twilight Well yet, which meant…
Were the wizards inside Twilight Well infected too?
