Chapter 654 - A Shadow? A Curse?
Angor was disappointed that he missed a chance to discover more wonderful mysteries in the Nightmare Realm. However, he had no trouble accepting Sunders’ decision because he also knew that such mysteries were always accompanied by deadly traps.
“I’ll tell you what I saw when I return,” said Sunders.
“I’ll stay at Phantom Island tonight, sir, and borrow some of your books to learn about alchemy materials.”
“The library in my Gravity Garden also had several alchemy textbooks, I’ll leave them—”
Sunders suddenly stopped talking as his body convulsed.
Angor watched in confusion when he saw the gentleman open his eyes while breathing heavily, which looked like someone who just earned serious illness.
“What’s going on, professor?” Angor decided to ask. Was Sunders injured in Sleepless City?
Sunders took a moment to calm his breath. “It’s nothing. An old condition I got a long time ago just came back.”
By those words, she meant to tell Sunders to leave her and Angor alone.
Sunders didn’t move. “Of course I trust in your opinion, but you just made me more curious. Since the illusion is almost perfect, what do you want to ask Angor in private?”
Greya sneered and crossed her legs, but she did not tell Sunders anything.
Sunders didn’t look concerned. “You can’t hide it from me if I want to find out. How about being frank? I’m rather interested in the illusion Angor gave you.”
Greya pondered and decided to speak up, but she was speaking to Angor this time.
“What is hidden on the ‘Mysterious Mountain’?”
She didn’t mention the Mystery energy she felt and was hoping that Angor could understand her hint, which was that she would like to hear the answer without telling Sunders too much.
Angor was expecting Greya to have questions about the illusion, but he was a little surprised to know that Greya had failed to find the “manifestation of Mystery” too.
Greya saw Angor’s frown. “You can’t say it?”
“That’s not it, but… Pardon me, Lady Greya, I don’t know what is hidden there either.” Angor shrugged as he gave Greya an apologetic look.
