“Angel?” Liana was somewhat puzzled, why did Fire Charm suddenly bring up Angel?
Fire Charm said, “I heard that when you left Sky Mechanical City, you went to see Angel. Did he mention going back to the Savage Grottoes?”
Liana nodded, “Yes, at that time, Angel did mention that.”
Fire Charm’s eyes lit up, “Now that Sanders has returned to the Savage Grottoes, does it mean that Angel has also arrived?”
Liana thought for a moment and shook her head, “I don’t know about that; I haven’t heard of Angel coming back recently.”
“Not hearing about it doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened,” Fire Charm said. “A few days ago, when Sanders returned, Lord Rhine also came back from the ruins for two days. Just for Sanders’s return, I don’t think Lord Rhine would have hurried back, so I suspect Angel also returned with him.”
Angel was the real reason Lord Rhine hurried back to the Savage Grottoes. This was what most wizards speculated.
Fire Charm knew that Liana had recently met with Angel, and thus, he came specially to inquire, hoping to find some insider information.
“But Lord Rhine hasn’t announced Angel’s return, and there’s been no movement from Tree Spirit either,” Liana said. “Angel advanced to a formal wizard and also became a member of the Research Institute. Normally, there would be some sort of banquet-like event for him to formally meet with other wizards.”
Since there was no movement from Tree Spirit, perhaps Angel hadn’t returned.
However, Fire Charm thought differently, “We’re all guessing if it’s because of Angel’s attitude.”
Attitude? Liana pondered over Fire Charm’s words and quickly realized what he meant. Fire Charm implied that Angel’s attitude didn’t align with the expectations of Rhine and Tree Spirit, so they were intentionally ignoring and marginalizing Angel.
“Angel, after all, is young and full of energy, and now that he has achieved such success, he might become arrogant and start acting above everyone else. So, even if he comes back, he is intentionally neglected,” Fire Charm speculated.
Liana, however, shook her head: “That’s absolutely not the case. Angel’s personality largely follows the lineage of his mentor. Moreover, Angel is even more mild-mannered, your speculation is incorrect.”
Fire Charm trusts Liana’s judgment, but then why is Angel being marginalized now? Why is even his information not being disclosed?
To this, Liana wasn’t too concerned, as her relationship with Angel was quite good, and they didn’t lack anything to formally meet at a banquet. Compared to Angel’s matters, Liana was actually more concerned about the upcoming tea party.
However, Fire Charm is her good friend, and Liana followed her train of thought for a moment.
“Perhaps there’s another reason, maybe Angel wants to hide his whereabouts? I can tell, he’s a person who doesn’t like showing off,” Liana paused: “Or perhaps…”
“Can you really be sure that Angel has come back?”
Fire Charm was stunned, indeed, all her guesses were based on the assumption that Angel had already returned. What if Angel hadn’t come back?
“Maybe Angel has some matters and hasn’t returned to the Savage Grottoes yet, it’s not impossible,” Liana shrugged: “As for why Lord Rhine suddenly came back… Why can’t he come back? Does he need a reason to return?”
Fire Charm was left speechless by the question, and Liana patted her on the shoulder: “Stop guessing wildly, you just need to know that Angel’s attitude is fine. Whether he comes back or not, that’s not important.”
Fire Charm thought about it and felt it made sense. It’s just that the topic of Angel has been very hot in the wizard circles of the Savage Grottoes, which made her curious to ask. Actually, knowing or not knowing Angel’s whereabouts is not that important.
With this in mind, Fire Charm no longer discussed the matter of Angel.
They were going to find “Leaf Blossom” Nian Yesevei, who lives on the edge of the Eternal Tree’s coverage area, so they were flying in the direction away from the central courtyard.
The journey was desolate and unpopulated until they neared High Cloud Library, where they spotted some figures.
At that moment, Liana suddenly stopped.
Fire Charm, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just saw someone familiar,” Liana shook her head and continued forward. She didn’t explain who the familiar person was, and Fire Charm didn’t suspect anything.
However, unnoticed by Fire Charm, Liana’s brow furrowed in thought.
Meanwhile, near High Cloud Library, Gloria, in a deep purple dress, narrowed her eyes: “Fire Charm just saw me.”
Beside Gloria, the red-haired, golden-eyed man——Angel, hummed, “She saw me too.”
Gloria: “When she recognized me, her gaze immediately shifted to you. I guess she’s figured out who you are.”
They were near Phantom Island, and with a formal wizard, unfamiliar to Liana, by Gloria’s side, it wasn’t hard for Liana to deduce Angel’s identity.
Angel: “So she’s guessed, let her. I know Liana; seeing my disguise, she’ll understand I want to keep a low profile and trust she won’t spread the word.”
Gloria agreed, acknowledging Liana’s intelligence. Or rather, any wizard wouldn’t be foolish; some just don’t care about Angel’s wish for discretion and would freely discuss it. But Liana, being close to Angel, would consider things from his perspective and surely see his intention to remain inconspicuous.
Liana’s choice not to greet them already made this clear.
“Moreover, she doesn’t know where I’m going,” Angel said. He is Preparing to Move to the ruins, so even if Liana sees him and proclaims it, and the Bud followers hear it, it’s useless if they don’t know where he’s going.
Angel mentioned this, and Gloria raised an eyebrow: “I didn’t expect you to just move? The Bud followers might not even target you, your reaction is a bit much.”
Angel lazily flicked his red hair out of his eyes: “My enlightenment mentor once told me a proverb from his hometown, no normal person would stand under a crumbling wall.”
“I’m just taking precautions.”
As Angel spoke, he had already arrived near the Tree Spirit Great Hall, and he turned his head to Gloria: “Just drop me off here, I will leave directly with Lord Tree Spirit later.”
Gloria rolled her eyes, not in a good mood: “I’m not here to drop you off, I came to drop off Toby.”
Gloria stroked Toby in her palm and whispered, “You don’t actually have to follow Angel, just follow me.”
Toby, enjoying Gloria’s stroking, remained silent. His attitude was clear.
Gloria: “Follow me, and I can make you dried little fish.”
Toby’s eyes brightened, but he still didn’t speak.
Seeing this, Gloria cursed under her breath: “What an ungrateful little thing.”
With that, Gloria handed Toby to Angel.
Angel watched amusedly: The ruins are nearby, and with Toby’s speed, it would only take a few minutes to go back and forth. Yet, Gloria made it seem like a tearful farewell.
