Chapter 1766 A Lucky Coincidence <TOC> Chapter 1768 Helen Awakens
Translator: SumTLMan
After hearing Angel’s words, Little Six finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to Angel, had they been a bit later, Helen’s mental power might have truly plummeted.
Fortunately, she had found Angel. And Angel was willing to help Helen; otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
To help Helen heal her mental power, she naturally had to awaken first. Rousing her with external force could likely provoke her unstable mental energy, so all they could do now was wait for Helen to wake up on her own.
Helen’s awakenings were unpredictable, but she generally roused once a day. Now, all they needed was patience.
Throughout the wait, Angel was far from idle.
He planned to inquire carefully, how exactly had Helen gotten injured? Because only by understanding the specifics could they organize a precise rescue plan.
However, before asking this question, Angel had another quandary, “Where is Silkvine?”
Angel had encountered Silkvine several times in the past. Judging from Silkvine’s demeanor, she seemed to harbor an unusually profound affection for Helen. Consequently, Silkvine’s concern for Helen was quite significant. With Helen now injured and bedridden, it was improbable that Silkvine would be anywhere else.
But the fact that Silkvine wasn’t here was puzzling.
Upon hearing the name “Silkvine”, a shadow of gloom flashed across Little Six’s eyes.
“Silkvine… half a month ago, she…” Little Six hesitated, her voice tinted with sadness, “went missing.”
“Missing?” A look of realization dawned on Angel’s face. Although the news of Silkvine’s disappearance surprised him, only this explanation made sense as to why Silkvine wasn’t by Helen’s side at this time.
“How did she go missing?” Angel inquired with curiosity. Half a month ago, the Novastar Competition had already concluded. Given the current state of the participants, Silkvine should have been cultivation in the Endless Corridor. How did she suddenly disappear?
Little Six hung her head and sighed, saying, “Actually, Helen’s injury is related to Silkvine’s disappearance.”
Little Six recounted the events from half a month ago——
Since Helen had been staying at Little Six’s house, Silkvine naturally accompanied Helen and also resided there. However, Silkvine’s abilities far surpassed Little Six’s, and coupled with her aloof personality, Little Six felt closer to Helen.
After the Novastar Competition ended, just like other participants, Silkvine would cultivate every day in the Endless Corridor. According to her own plans, this routine might last about a year.
Since Silkvine frequented the Endless Corridor, her time with Helen naturally decreased. Helen herself didn’t mind, as her abilities were modest and she was still in the early stages of her cultivation. While at Little Six’s place, she could cultivate and also share her insights with her. However, Silkvine felt guilty, thinking she had neglected Helen.
So, half a month ago, Silkvine decided to take a few days off to accompany Helen and check on her cultivation progress.
“Normally, I interact with Helen. But since Silkvine returned during those days, I didn’t want to intrude. Coincidentally, I had business at the Dove Library and didn’t come home for those days. When I returned after settling my affairs, I found Helen severely injured, stumbling back,” said Little Six.
Back then, Little Six didn’t know what had happened. She only heard from the servants that Silkvine and Helen went out that day, seemingly for shopping and leisure.
Later on, after Helen regained consciousness, she revealed some inside information.
Silkvine took Helen out of Sky Mechanical City to relax. On their journey, they encountered a group of strange individuals. For some reason, they took an interest in Silkvine and planned to abduct her forcefully. When Helen stepped forward to help Silkvine, she was overwhelmed by their intense aura and fainted.
When she woke up, Silkvine was nowhere to be found. Helen, severely injured, returned to Little Six’s home in a disheveled state.
“They encountered a group of strange individuals? Who are these people?” Angel asked with confusion. Could they be enemies of Silkvine?
“I’m not sure; Helen didn’t specify,” replied Little Six. “After telling us about the incident on the first day, Helen’s communication started to dwindle. She became more and more silent, and now, she hasn’t spoken for ten days.”
“I believe,” she mused, “she might be worried about Silkvine…”
Even though Little Six didn’t know many details, the gist of the matter was clear. Most importantly, the source of Helen’s injuries had been identified.
Angel had been suspicious earlier, and now his suspicions were confirmed. Helen’s injuries were due to the pressure exerted by a formal wizard.
The pressure didn’t just cause physical harm to Helen; it also significantly damaged her mental strength.
Knowing the cause of her injuries means that when trying to heal her mental strength, there are fewer factors to consider, making the healing process smoother.
As for the group of people that Helen and Silkvine encountered, Angel wasn’t overly concerned. For one, he wasn’t very familiar with Silkvine. As long as Helen was fine, he thought it best to leave the worries about Silkvine’s disappearance to Summer Dew Ridge.
Secondly, from what he heard, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual. Though it was strange that those people wanted to capture Silkvine, there are many stranger things in this world, and he felt there’s no need to concern himself with everything.
However, Little Six kept discussing and speculating about the identities of that group.
One moment, she thought they were Silkvine’s enemies; the next, she suspected they might have run into a pervert, her thoughts leaping from one theory to another.
Angel grew annoyed with the constant chatter and cast a silencing illusion on Little Six, instantly quieting the air.
The rosy hues of dusk gradually faded, and the veil of night covered the horizon. The garden outside echoed with the rhythmic chatter of insects. Even though they buzzed loudly, it added a layer of serenity to the night.
Close to midnight, the clouds enveloping Sky Mechanical City dispersed, allowing moonlight to spill in through the window. It illuminated Helen’s already pale face, making it seem even more ghostly.
At that moment, after sleeping for the better part of the day, Helen finally opened her eyes.
In the moment Helen opened her eyes, Angel had dispelled the silencing illusion spell placed on Little Six. However, due to being silenced for an extended period, she currently lacked the volume to speak.
Upon regaining consciousness, Helen instinctively turned her head towards the window.
This had become her routine over the past few days: gazing at the sky outside the window, pondering the situation of Silkvine, while simultaneously feeling melancholic and spacing out in a dazed state.
The beauty of the night was evident, as was the allure of the moonlight. Moreover, the windowpane of her room reflected the shadows of two figures.
Two shadows were not unusual, but… one of the shadows appeared to be tall, resembling a man?
It was rare for a man to step onto the second floor of Little Six’s home, let alone enter her room!
Helen, in her confusion, turned her head, attempting to discern the identity of the figure.
However, as her gaze settled, she was suddenly rendered speechless.
The moonlight highlighted the sharp features of a blond young man, accentuating his beauty. It seemed as if all the enchantment of the moment converged in the interplay of light and shadow.
“It’s… it’s… you…” Helen murmured in disbelief. Halfway through her sentence, it seemed as if she realized something and hastily corrected herself: “Lord Super Dimensional.”
Angel responded with a faint smile, “Yes, it’s me. It’s been a long time.”
