Chapter 28 - Sunders
“Maybe the nightmare stone on that ship gave out an origin reaction and connected to the nightmare realm by accident because of the space particles have a similar frequency?” Sunders pondered.
Such a rare coincidence happened before. If two planes overlapped with each other and it was not carved out using great magic, it could only be a coincidence.
Sunders’ joy gradually vanished. Finding a fixed entrance to the nightmare realm meant he no longer needed to find Greya. Sunders had been alive for hundreds of years. He quickly recovered his temperament and disregarded the nightmare realm aura he sensed.
Seeing how Sunders did not answer, Flora did not push for an answer. She had been his student for longer than anyone else, so she knew that nobody could get an answer when Sunders preferred not to tell.
A black owl flew into the tent, circled around, and landed on Flora’s shoulder. A visible air ripple came out of the owl’s beak. Flora analyzed the message contained in the ripple, then grinned.
“Teacher, Isa said that the death match in chamber four has ended. The winner is Balba.”
Isa was the name of the black owl – Flora’s favorite alchemy familiar.
He went to the wash basin and planned to calm himself down by putting his face in the cold water. The five-year promise had led him astray, and those noble manners and politeness carved inside his bones were beginning to crumble.
His mind was not right. Yet Angor did not intend to change it, at least not before he solved the puzzles left by Teacher. He would keep his spirit tensed up for now.
Besides, The Redbud did not have any facilities for relieving stress. The other talents could train meditation. But what could he do, apart from solving puzzles?
