Above the Star Pool, inside the Observation Pavilion.
Wallace, known as the ‘Old Whitehair’ for his white attire and beard, raised his head to look at the sky.
In the distance, a group of wizards led by Duncan and Firo were clearing the grey-black mist at the boundary in the sky.
“Another burst of live wire has erupted, bringing a host of parasites with it,” sighed Wallace. “It’s uncertain how many such pests are inside the ruins and whether they will affect him.”
Wallace didn’t mention a name, but everyone in the pavilion knew he was referring to Angel.
“It won’t affect him,” said Iron Armor Granny, grinding tea leaves gently. “Sanders has said that live wires and parasites released by the rainbow dragonflies, which haven’t infected living beings, have no effect on Angel.” As she placed the tea pestle back in place, she looked up at the sky, not at the mist, but at the far, dark end of the sky canopy.
“The morning star has appeared. When it slices through the night’s curtain, it will have been more than three days since Angel fell into the ruins,” Iron Armor Granny countered Wallace’s words, but deep down, she wasn’t very confident about Angel’s safety.
“If there was a way out, he would have come out by now. He can’t possibly stay in the ruins forever… Ouch!” The grey-haired little elder, Nisi, grimaced at the soul servant kneeling on the ground massaging his feet, “Can’t you be gentler? Stop it, go make me some tea.”
After kicking the soul servant, he turned and continued, “It’s been three days. Is he really still alive?”
Nisi’s question echoed the doubts in everyone’s minds.
They didn’t want to face the news of Angel’s death. But having been trapped in the ruins for three days, was there still a chance for Angel to survive?
“Lord Rhine, what do you think? We can’t just keep waiting, can we?” Wallace turned to look at Rhine, who sat with his eyes closed, feigning sleep.
Rhine opened his eyes, and a silence domain instantly spread, weighing heavily in the air.
This was Rhine’s innate ability as the Silencer. Usually, he was restrained, always actively shutting down his silence barrier. But now, he ignored this, indicating that his heart wasn’t as calm as it appeared.
Rhine didn’t respond immediately but glanced at the back of the pavilion where Sanders was sleeping.
“Since Sanders said there’s a way to contact Angel, let’s wait a bit longer,” Rhine said lightly.
Wallace also looked at Sanders, rubbing his temples, “This guy is asleep again. I said his so-called way of contact is through dreams, but he won’t admit it.”
“But, Angel only contacted Sanders on the first day. There’s been no news for the past two days. I think it’s very unlikely now.”
Wallace had expressed similar sentiments before, not out of pessimism, but just reflecting on the situation. However, this time, no one contradicted him.
Even though they could break through Rhine’s silence barrier, no one did so. Instead, they remained silent, weighed down by the heavy air.
This oppressive silence continued until Sanders opened his eyes.
“Any news from Angel?” Rhine immediately sensed a change in Sanders’ aura and asked.
Sanders shook his head, “He hasn’t sent me any messages.”
Disappointment flashed in Rhine’s eyes.
“Messages? How exactly do you communicate? How can you send messages in dreams?” Wallace, puzzled, looked at Sanders. He had been asking the same question for three days.
Sanders reacted in the same way: he didn’t even glance at Wallace, completely ignoring him as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Wallace looked around at the others with hopeful eyes, wishing they would chime in. However, what everyone was most Concerned about now was Angel’s safety. Although they were curious about how Angel communicated with his mentor, since Sanders was unwilling to speak, they maintained their respect and did not continue to inquire.
“It’s been three days. If he really was okay, he should have sent a message back by now. Since there has been no communication, maybe something really went wrong,” Nisi sighed.
Even Sanders did not refute this time, because what Nisi said made sense. If Angel really found a gap, even if he didn’t talk face-to-face in the Wilderness of Dreams, he should have left a message with Freud. But so far, there has been no movement from Angel.
That being said, Sanders still didn’t believe that Angel was dead.
Since the core powers of the Wilderness of Dreams were all in Angel’s hands, if he really died, even if the Wilderness of Dreams did not collapse, there would be a series of upheavals within it due to the disappearance of power. But the current tranquility of the Wilderness of Dreams actually indicated that Angel should still be alive.
However, being alive did not mean that Angel’s situation was good.
It was possible that Angel had fallen into a coma, or that he had been seriously injured, otherwise, it made no sense for him to have no contact.
Rhine noticed the hesitation in Sanders’s eyes and said after thinking for a moment, “Since there’s still no news, I should go in and have a look.”
There was a moment of silence, and no one objected.
Because among those present, it was probably only Rhine who could enter the ruins and leave smoothly.
“We should have done this three days ago. Now we have wasted three days,” Wallace found an opportunity to sting Sanders.
Although Wallace looked down on Sanders in every way, he did not stop Rhine, knowing the value of Angel. Moreover, Rhine entering the ruins could also take the opportunity to probe the specific situation inside.
Sanders didn’t say anything, just nodded to Rhine: “I can also go in.”
Rhine shook his head: “No need, you stay outside. This time I go in, it’s very likely to provoke resistance from the monsters inside, and there might be a surge of monster waves, so we need you to guard outside.”
After pausing, Rhine looked at Iron Armor Granny: “Please take care of things here.”
Iron Armor Granny nodded lightly: “I am here, you should be very careful when you enter the ruins.”
Rhine nodded and didn’t say anything more, turning into a shadow and rushing towards the center of the Star Pool.
Everyone sent Rhine off silently with their eyes.
However, just as Rhine was about to enter the passage at the center of the Star Pool, something unexpected happened.
A faint light emanated from the passage beneath the pool.
“There’s a change in the passage!” Everyone thought of this first, because they had experienced such a situation before. When a creature was about to come out from the passage, due to the spatial fluctuation, it would produce a light of energy.
Since the live wire had just emerged, the light this time was unlikely to be from the live wire.
If it wasn’t the live wire, then the most likely possibility was the monsters from the ruins!
With this thought, everyone had no time for anything else. Leaving only the person controlling the Observation Pavilion’s barrier, all others flew towards the center of the Star Pool…
