Chapter 669 - Sudden Crisis
Angor wouldn’t care if he heard anyone else’s name. But Saka…
Why? What does Saka want? Did he talk to me at Ness’ place and give me undead resources just to remind me of his name?
“You didn’t tell anyone else that I’m looking for souls, did you?” Angor stared at the employee in front of him.
Embarrassed, the clerk looked away. “I-it’s just, people will help you find them quickly if they know about this, right? So…”
“I see.”
Angor didn’t say anything further to blame her. This was a simple exchange of information. He just asked the employee about Saka, which was a similar thing.
“Mister Padt, did I mess up?” The woman grew a little worried.
Tree Spirit smiled as he successfully annoyed his target, just as he planned.
“This is quite easy. Something pissed off the world’s consciousness.”
“But what is it? A Sorcerer’s Garden?”
“Who knows? I can’t see through all the energy lurking around Phantom Island, but there won’t be too much damage done… Mister Rein is currently visiting Sunders, after all.”
…
“Mister Rein is at Phantom Island right now?” someone at Rockwell Venue yelled in great surprise.
Rockwell Venue was another floating island beside the Tree of Eternity, which was full of black thorns and bright-red roses. The wizard tower at the center, also covered by thorny vines, was the personal residence of “Blood Witch” Flora.
“Yeah. Before visiting you, I saw Mister Rein entering Phantom Island. I used my far-sight spell to see him going for Sunders’ study, and that’s when Sunders found out I was peeking and almost destroyed my eyes using his illusions.” The second speaker was wearing a long, rose-colored skirt and was enjoying some sweet tea prepared on a stone desk beside a stone bed.
Flora was sitting on the other side of the bed, hugging her knees, while gazing at the sky outside her tower.
“Mister Rein wants something from my professor? And what is this power?” she muttered.
“Dunno. Mister Rein caused it, probably. Maybe he finally reached that level?” the woman in the rose dress replied.
“From the records I read before, the omen brought by reaching legendary is way more disastrous than this,” a young man spoke near a desk while writing something down. “If Mister Rein truly succeeded, he should know to do it outside the mirror world. The challenges given by the world’s consciousness would easily destroy the entire Brute Cavern and no one can stop it.
“I believe Mister Rein very much wishes that Brute Cavern remains well and whole, thus my theory.” The young man finished his paper, took it to Flora, and bowed. “I’ve completed my work, professor.”
Flora glanced at the man without taking the paper. “Remember your place, Spivet. I accepted you as my student just because my professor asked me to.”
“Little Imp” Gragg, or Spivet, chuckled.
Flora waved him off. “Now go. Don’t be an eyesore.”
The woman in rose dress suddenly called to him, “Wait up.”
“What is it, Leona?” Flora frowned.
Leona showed a casual smile. “Interesting student you have there, Flora. He knows more than he should. But he’s only a level-1 apprentice… or is he?”
Flora did not explain Spivet’s condition even though Leona was her “bestie”. It would be better for such secrets to remain secrets.
Leona spoke to Spivet without minding Flora’s unresponsiveness, “So you can tell this is not caused by someone reaching legendary level. Nice! Can you tell us some more, like, what is the root of that dark cloud that covered up half of Brute Cavern’s sky?”
Spivet shrugged.
“I think Angor might be the reason.”
