Rhine Mute: “Besides this, is there anything else you want to ask?”
Angel pondered for a moment and said, “I want to know the Current Situation of the Ruins.”
Angel had always been curious about that strange site of ruins. As far as he knew, apart from that one location, the creatures of the Nightmare Plane hadn’t occupied any other ruins, indicating that something within those ruins was attracting them.
Angel was eager to understand exactly what the situation was inside.
In response to Angel’s inquiry, Rhine Mute reflected for a moment: “The situation inside the ruins is complex, and up to now, we have no means to investigate more deeply.”
Angel: “Is the prophecy spell ineffective as well?”
Rhine Mute nodded: “The prophecy spell is being obscured. According to Maya’s speculation, there might be some kind of barrier inside that shields against prophecy, or perhaps it’s being influenced by a Mysterious Object.”
Mysterious Objects seem not to be scarce in the Nightmare Plane. For example, the harp held by the fox who plays it is a Mysterious Object.
Originally, Sanders had also visited a tower filled with Mysterious Objects in the Nightmare Plane.
Therefore, Maya’s conjecture might be correct. The creatures of the Nightmare Plane possess Mysterious Objects, and the prophecy spell is blocked due to these Mysterious Objects.
Angel: “The prophecy is obscured; it seems that only on the Star Observing Day is there a chance to know the truth.”
Rhine Mute: “Exactly, we had already planned to have Maya try divination on the next Star Observing Day.”
“Now…” Angel hesitated for a moment, Maya was originally going to the Star Observing Day for the sake of the ruins, so now because of him, the plan is changed? With this thought, Angel suddenly felt somewhat remorseful.
Rhine Mute waved his hand: “It’s alright, I’ll notify ‘Sea God’ Florence. He will definitely arrange for a prophecy wizard to pay attention.”
Florence? The Song of the Deep Sea? Angel didn’t make the connection at first, wondering what the relationship was.
With Rhine Mute’s explanation, Angel finally understood the underlying situation.
The ruins had appeared not long after the planar fusion. At that time, there were many wizard organizations and families on the Paramjit Plateau exploring the state of planar fusion. The Song of the Deep Sea was one of them, and they too had discovered those ruins. Hence, they sent four formal wizards to investigate, but all were lost. Those four formal wizards all fell within those ruins.
Because the Song of the Deep Sea lost so many formal wizards, they would definitely seek to investigate the situation inside the ruins on the Star Observing Day, even without a reminder from Rhine Mute.
“Speaking of which, regarding the ruins, I would have told you even if you hadn’t asked. Because, according to Sanders, you have a way of interpreting the emotional expressions of creatures from the Nightmare Plane?”
Angel did not deny it: “I can only interpret vaguely; the majority of creatures from the Nightmare Plane are not highly intelligent, and their emotional expressions are quite simple.”
Rhine Mute: “That’s not an issue, you must know the story of The Little Prince, right?”
“Crimson Moon, Diamond, and Streaking Light; Dawn, Quartz, and Glimmer.” Angel nodded, reciting the riddle from the widely known fairytale of The Little Prince.
Rhine Mute: “Interpret the emotions they convey as a riddle, and then connect the clues of the answer. There is always hope to know what they are trying to express.”
Angel also understood this principle, as Sanders had reminded him before.
Once you know what creatures from the Nightmare Plane are trying to express, you might be able to determine the reason they chose that particular ruin.
“In a few days, when the situation at the ruins has stabilized and the issues with the live wires here are mostly resolved, you and Sanders should come over,” said Rhine Mute. “The conditions of the ruins you want to understand, you should see for yourself, and then you will know.”
Angel nodded in agreement; he had the same intention.
After finishing the discussion about the ruins, they touched on various other subjects, including the Frost Moon Alliance and the matters of Black Castle. They also mentioned the follow-up on the Abyss and the changes in forces observed within it.
Mainly, it was Rhine Mute speaking and Angel listening. Rhine Mute updated Angel on the current situation of the Frost Moon Alliance and helped him analyze whether or not to go to the headquarters of the Frost Moon Alliance to receive the “Chapter of the Moon” reward, as well as the potential future situations and pros and cons if he did go.
Rhine Mute’s position and his extensive experience meant that his analysis covered all aspects, providing Angel with clear guidance for the path ahead.
Thus, this conversation was more like Rhine Mute offering guidance to Angel, who naturally enjoyed listening very much.
However, even the most enjoyable times have their end.
After they had talked for two hours, Rhine Mute finally concluded, “Let’s end the discussion about this matter for today.”
Angel nodded his understanding; he knew it was time for him to take his leave.
Angel was contemplating what farewell words to use when Rhine Mute took a sip of his hot tea and asked with a smile, “By the way, what do you plan to do next?”
Angel thought for a moment: “Stay under the radar, waiting for the outcome of the Star Observing Day. Then, quietly cultivate for a while.”
“Indeed, you should settle and absorb your experiences.” Rhine Mute knew that as soon as Angel had advanced, he went straight to Sky Mechanical City to serve as a special judge, without taking any rest. As a newly advanced wizard, he indeed needed a quiet time for cultivation.
Rhine Mute: “Give me your bone card.”
Although Angel did not understand Rhine Mute’s intention, he still took out the bone card that he had not used for a long time from the bottom of his bracelet.
Rhine Mute gently wiped the bone card, and a streak of golden light entered it.
“I’ve granted you second-level access to High Cloud Library, second only to the first-level access of Book Ancestor. During this time, you can supplement and settle your knowledge gaps in High Cloud Library.”
Angel nodded respectfully: “Thank you.”
“This is a right you ought to have.” After a pause, Rhine Mute continued, “Besides cultivating, what else do you plan to do?”
“Alchemy,” Angel intended, if time allowed, to study the art of concoction from the school of alchemy, because as a member of the Research Institute, even if he was not proficient in concoction, he had to be conversant with it.
“Anything else?” Rhine Mute persisted.
“There… shouldn’t be anything else.” Angel looked at Rhine Mute questioningly, not understanding what Rhine Mute was getting at.
Rhine Mute spoke with a beaming smile, “Beyond your devotion to cultivation and alchemy, I believe you have some leisure time. There are two matters here that you might want to try.”
Cultivation and alchemy, each could consume all one’s time, where would there be leisure time! Although Angel thought so inwardly, his expression did not betray his thoughts.
Since Rhine Mute continued to inquire, it was clear he had something to discuss.
After all, Rhine Mute was the ruler of the Savage Grottoes, and even if Angel was reluctant, he still had to listen respectfully.
Moreover, he was also curious to find out what the two matters Rhine Mute wanted him to undertake were.
