Chapter 2090 Offspring <TOC> Chapter 2092 Concerned
Translator: SumTLMan
Angel turns to Boil Gentleman and says, “This is as far as you go.”
Boil Gentleman doesn’t say anything, just nods his head. He doesn’t turn to leave immediately but instead looks down at Angel’s feet…
At this time, the spotted puppy is still following by Angel’s side.
Angel looks down at the spotted puppy and says, “You should go back now. Minister Dim is waiting for you.”
The spotted puppy barks twice, tilts its head, and looks at Angel with clear eyes. This innocent look almost makes Angel want to take it away.
However, considering various factors, that is obviously not feasible.
Angel and the spotted puppy gaze at each other for a few seconds. He sighs softly, squats down, and embraces the puppy deeply.
He whispers in its ear: “Thank you.”
Although Angel doesn’t know why the spotted puppy sneaked out, if it wasn’t for the puppy, he probably would have had a hard time successfully playing the role of “Shava.”
Letting go of the embrace, Angel places the spotted puppy on the ground and ruffles its soft fur on its head, saying, “Go back now. We’ll meet again.”
Although Angel’s words are firm, he feels in his heart that the chance of meeting again is very slim.
Angel’s consolation seems to finally make the spotted puppy understand his meaning.
The spotted puppy whines softly, rubs against Angel’s pant leg reluctantly, and then slowly turns around, walking towards Boil Gentleman.
Clang——
As the spotted puppy turns its head, Angel hears the sound of metal hitting the ground. He turns back and sees that although the spotted puppy is walking back, it has left the ornate birdcage on the ground.
Angel looks at the spotted puppy in confusion. It was interested in the Void Travelers, so why leave it on the ground?
Could it be that the puppy thought he wanted it, so it left it behind?
Just as Angel is about to call the spotted puppy back to take the birdcage, the puppy’s tail, which has become elongated, suddenly reaches over.
With a “click” sound, the lock of the birdcage is opened by the puppy’s tail.
Angel is stunned for a moment and watches as the door of the birdcage is pushed open with a creak, followed by a flurry of winds and a series of ‘whoosh’ sounds by his ears.
By the time he regains his senses, the birdcage is already empty.
Angel turns to look towards the Black Dream Tunnel outside the gate. All the Void Travelers, like wild horses breaking free, rush into the darkness and disappear.
Angel intends to catch them, but these Void Travelers won’t stay still in the corridor. Outside the gate is no longer a half-plane, and they can escape into the void through the walls…
Angel stretches his hand out powerlessly and eventually retracts it. He looks at the spotted puppy, which still looks at him with innocent and clear eyes, seemingly unconcerned about its actions.
Angel glances at the empty birdcage, sighs, and says, “Well, let it be. You do what you want.”
After all, the Void Travelers were already given to the spotted puppy. How it handles them is its business. If they are let go, so be it. Although it’s a bit heart-wrenching, as long as the spotted puppy is happy, that’s fine.
Angel nods at the spotted puppy again, then says his goodbyes formally.
“Please rest assured, Highness Shava, I will return the spotted puppy to Minister Dim and bring back the new light solvent,” said Boil Gentleman, taking off his hat and holding it to his chest as he bowed to Angel: “Looking forward to our next meeting.”
As the footsteps faded away, Boil Gentleman, with the spotted puppy looking back every three steps, disappeared at the end of the Maze of Mystlight Candles Corridor.
After the surroundings became completely quiet, Angel let out a long sigh of relief. Although he felt a slight emotion about the departure of the spotted puppy, it could not overshadow his excitement about Returning to Freedom.
Before leaving, there was one more thing he had to do.
Angel lowered his head, looking behind the ancient gate… Despite the earth-shattering changes in the ruins, with the space expanding countless times, the gate of the ruins remained unchanged.
This time, without worrying about being disturbed, Angel finally observed the complete rune on the back of the gate.
When he had seen all the runes, his expression showed realization.
Although he had previously deduced through the materials of this gate that it was intricately connected to the gate of the ruins he was staying in, the similarity in materials could be coincidental, and he had not yet had concrete evidence.
But now, with the appearance of the rune, Angel could finally confirm that this ruin and the one he was temporarily residing in were indeed opened by the same person!
The magic formation on the gate, its strokes were exactly the same as the other gate!
Moreover, there was an independent rune on the magic formation. The main pattern of this independent rune also symbolized “light”.
This meant that this independent rune was the ruins map he had previously speculated about!
If he activated this independent rune, perhaps many previously unsolved questions would have answers.
Unfortunately, the rune could not be activated at the moment.
Although the magic formation on the gate was very complete, with hardly any breaks or defects, in reality, it was more difficult to deal with than the damaged rune on the gate of the ruins where he was staying.
Because the gate he was at, although bearing the same magic formation, was perfectly in harmony with the entire ruin.
But the rune on this gate, due to the massive changes in the interior space of the ruins, could not harmonize with the body of the ruins, and the damage was even more severe.
Repairing it was nearly impossible, unless time flowed backward, and the Heart Sigh did not descend.
But it wasn’t completely hopeless.
Because he didn’t need to repair the whole magic formation; he just needed the effect shown by the independent rune.
However, to activate this independent rune, energy was necessary. And it couldn’t be given directly from the outside, because the map-displaying independent rune didn’t have a pattern for carrying energy.
So, the magic formation itself had to supply it with energy.
Then, this independent rune had to connect with a corner of the magic formation representing the source energy. But this source energy couldn’t energize the magic formation itself, hence Angel now had to do two things: first, destroy the defensive effect of the magic formation; second, ensure that the patterns near the source energy were normal and could supply energy to the independent rune.
Even for a rune wizard, these tasks would seem daunting.
But Angel had repaired this magic formation before and was relatively familiar with it, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to actually start. However, it might take some time.
Fortunately, he was undisturbed here.
He had enough time to solve the puzzle and activate the independent rune on the gate.
