Chapter 700 - Another Fallen City
Sumesh closed his eyes and took a moment to savor the tea.
“Bitter at first, mild sweetness that follows behind, which leads to the taste of nature. The refreshing energy contained within remained behind to mend my body! Please, tell me, Granny, what is the name of this tea?”
“This is Morning Dew. Angor gave it to me.”
“Morning Dew… such a brilliant name that fits its nature! This is one of the best tea I’ve had in so many years.” Sumesh praised and suddenly frowned in confusion. “Wait, Angor again? He gave you this?”
Iron Granny nodded. “Correct. This should have been a gift for you, or so he said. He asked me to appraise it first and see whether you like it.”
“Of course I like it!”
“Too bad you missed him. I’m afraid you have to wait until he returns to get more of Morning Dew.”
Sumesh looked a bit sad. As a “tea addict”, he felt awful for not being able to enjoy his drink.
Rando didn’t look pleased because Angor was almost pointing out that their organization would get attacked.
Angor realized his mistake and quickly added, “I’m heading to the Edge of Night to use the teleportation station.”
Rando looked a bit relieved. “Edge of Night is fine, sir. But… people are on edge. It should be no problem if you’re just passing through.”
Rando told Angor how to choose a safer route and returned to his job.
Angor was wondering why the Nightmare Realm wanted to set up so many “outposts” in the wizarding world. But one thing was for sure, that these nightmare monsters were no longer acting stealthily.
The “outpost” in Pocratee was placed somewhere no one would ever visit. But this…
Angor glanced at the black dome again before steering his Gondola away.
He did not run into any other obstacles along his way, except for one time when he saw a shiny parasite enclosed in a “nightmare energy shell”, which was lingering not far from him.
The parasite escaped the moment it sensed Angor coming.
The parasite had wondered somewhere thousands of kilometers away from Sleepless City, which meant these creatures were able to reach most parts of the Evernight Kingdom.
Angor felt his heart sank—perhaps most of the Evernight Kingdom had already fallen. And as its closest neighbor, Brute Cavern wouldn’t remain so safe either.
He shook his head to get rid of the unnecessary concerns. This wasn’t something he should be worrying about, nor was it something he had control over.
