Chapter 641 - Dave’s “Promotion”
It took Dave two seconds to recognize the voice.
“Angor?!”
He looked around but without finding the speaker, until he felt someone knocking on his shoulder.
He turned back again.
A blond young man was smiling at him while leaning against the stair railings at the shop’s entrance.
“There you are!” Dave smiled. “To what do I owe the honor? Aren’t you always busy?”
“Who’s the busy one here? Look at you, people are requesting alchemy service from ‘Mister Dave’. Awesome! Right? Mister Daaave?”
Dave scratched his nose. “Oh come on, stop it.”
According to Dave, the officials of Sleepless City had decided to retreat and leave the Evernight Kingdom so that they could find another settlement elsewhere. As they observed, the strange darkness was expanding slowly, causing more parasites to invade the city’s surrounding areas more aggressively.
“Those things, oh my god! They are saying that the entire Evernight Kingdom had not fallen yet because of the wizards who were watching over the darkness right now, but they couldn’t prevent all parasites from slipping past them, which were beginning to cause troubles to wizards and mortals alike.” Dave trembled a little while speaking. He then added, “I wish those things don’t travel through Parmigi Highlands and mess up Brute Cavern.”
“Chill. We got Lady Mirror guarding the entrance,” said Angor.
Dave shook his head. “I think we haven’t seen her in half a year. We only need a passport to go through the mirror entrance these days. I mean, if an apprentice from the organization is possessed, who then carries the parasites inside…”
“Lady Mirror had not shown up for half a year?”
Angor wasn’t concerned about the parasites since Sunders could always protect Brute Cavern without any trouble. Compared to this, he was more interested in Lady Mirror’s absence.
“Yeah. They said that Lady Mirror would enter a seclusion period, which lasts for several years, in every other century or so. Whenever she does, Brute Cavern will be vulnerable to invasion, sigh…”
“I don’t think so. The organization has so many mighty wizards. Surely they know how to put up good defenses when Lady Mirror’s away?” said Angor.
This means… I can further postpone Lady Mirror’s alchemy request? He thought, before asking something else, “So there are many wizards waiting around the dark area right now?”
“But you should know about it, no? Mister Sunders just went there. Many wizard organizations sent manpower. I also heard a rumor about them…”
“Rumor?”
Even when the private room was protected by anti-detection means, Dave still moved closer to Angor so that he could lower his voice.
“Rumor has it that the darkness is connected to the Nightmare Realm.”
