Chapter 123 - Three Ancestor Souls
Ness led everyone into the mirror. When they emerged from the mirror again, they arrived at the outer area of the mirror world, Tree Shade Garden.
Ness explained to them while walking ahead, “There are three ancestor souls in Brute Cavern. Lady Mirror at the entrance, the Tree Spirit here, and the Elder of Books hidden in the library. They have been alive for a very long time, and no one knows where they came from. These three souls protect Brute Cavern from falling.”
“Mister Wizard… How strong are they, compared to you?” Hookdick asked Ness politely.
Ness glanced at him and humphed, “The might of ancestor souls cannot be described and certainly isn’t something that can be explained by the likes of us. The only thing you need to know is that the ancestor souls are the guardians of Brute Cavern and no one should ever defy them.”
Ness halted a bit before continuing, “The three ancestor souls all have different fancies and tastes, but they are usually gentle. As long as you don’t cause trouble first, they will not bother you. You will learn more about them in the future.”
Their first impression upon coming into the mirror world was that this place was so large!
And the second impression, wide.
Angor nodded.
“I saw Hookdick talking to him one night. They seemed to be chatting happily, but I’m not sure what they talked about. The next day, Hookdick gathered his men and came to me, asking for an alliance. And you know what happened next, I beat him up. I was wondering why the man was so confident. Now, I think it has something to do with that wizard,” said Nausica. She considered it for a moment before saying, “Watch your back. Hookdick is an extremely narrow-minded figure. If he really gained something from the wizard, you might…”
Angor frowned.
He did not expect that Hookdick actually did some shady business with a wizard. It seemed that Angor needed to find a time to ask Sunders about this wizard. It was unlikely that a wizard would come and create trouble for him. But… better safe than sorry.
