As the Enforcer eagerly prepared to receive the gift, the spotted dog looked at him doubtfully and then slowly shifted its gaze, sliding from the Enforcer to something behind him.
The Enforcer paused: Not looking at me? Not looking at me!
Could he have misunderstood?
With curiosity, the Enforcer turned his head, following the spotted dog’s gaze.
In the distance, unexpectedly, two streaks of light, one white and one black, appeared in the sky, comet-like, speeding towards their location.
The Enforcer didn’t know what these black and white lights were, but at that moment, he realized he might have indeed misunderstood…
There was no queue for giving gifts.
After all, the relationships between Woof Woof, Angel, and the spotted dog were clearly not ordinary, and it was normal for them to receive gifts. He had only just seen the spotted dog and had not even exchanged a proper word; why would it give him anything?
The Enforcer felt his face heat up with embarrassment; he must have been delusional to harbor such fanciful thoughts.
Fortunately, the Enforcer managed to keep his composure; otherwise, if Angel or Woof Woof had noticed, he would have truly been ashamed. As for being seen through by the spotted dog… it was different; it was normal, wasn’t it? In front of the spotted dog, he was just a junior, and it was normal for a junior to have some minor schemes.
Thinking this way, the Enforcer gradually calmed his somewhat turbulent emotions and refocused on the black and white lights.
By now, the two luminous entities were very close, and with the Enforcer’s keen eyesight, he could make out their hidden contours.
“Never seen them before, and their aura is very unusual.” The Enforcer frowned, wondering if these were invaders from another world?
As this thought crossed the Enforcer’s mind, the two lights descended from the sky, landing near them.
The formidable presence they emitted instantly swept across the area.
This presence was akin to a massive suppression; the Enforcer himself didn’t feel much, but Angel’s face turned pale instantly.
Seeing this, the Enforcer gently stamped on the ground, creating a subtly distortion domain that enveloped Angel and Woof Woof.
Within the Domain of Distortion, the formidable presence was completely nullified. Angel looked at the Enforcer with gratitude. The Enforcer, unconcerned, waved his hand dismissively and turned his attention back to the newcomers, his expression slightly cautious.
Although the newcomers’ presence didn’t pressure him much, the Enforcer felt an inexplicable unease.
This unease stemmed from an innate premonition.
And the subjects of this premonition were the two tall women nearby, dressed in odd black and white metallic skirts.
Their bodies emitted a pungent sulfur smell, and as they moved, copious white steam billowed from beneath their skirts.
They were undoubtedly strange! Whether it was the scent or the disquieting energy aura that unsettled the Enforcer, it was clear that these beings were not from this world.
Were they stowaways? Trespassers? Or perhaps world crossers?
Why had they descended upon the Southern Region? And what was their purpose?
As the Enforcer’s mind raced with questions, the two ladies, one dressed in black and the other in white, gracefully floated closer.
The Enforcer was vigilant, his gaze wary, even showing signs of preparedness; but if he turned to look at Angel, he would see that Angel’s expression was unusually serene, in stark contrast to his own.
Even Woof Woof, standing nearby, showed little reaction to the newcomers.
“Who are you?” the Enforcer demanded, his voice carrying a distortion power that echoed around them.
But the two ladies, ignoring the Enforcer, looked past him to the spotted puppy and… Angel.
“I knew there was a reason it had come out,” said the lady in black, her voice sharp and piercing.
“I too was wondering why it had suddenly left, and now it all makes sense,” added the lady in white, her voice soft and melodious.
They spoke as they drifted closer, stopping a few meters away.
Upon closer inspection, the Enforcer noted that while they appeared human, they were decidedly not. Their faces were covered with bicolor scales, and they lacked ears. One had an eye as black as night with white specks, and the other as white as snow with a black center, creating a visage of stark terror.
The ladies, unfazed by the Enforcer’s scrutiny, posed like genteel ladies, hands clad in iron gloves crossed at their waists, and they bowed slightly towards Angel.
“It is my honor to meet the esteemed Highness Shava here,” said the lady in white, her gentle gaze on Angel.
“And mine as well,” concurred the lady in black.
Highness Shava? A term of respect? Who were they referring to? Was it the spotted dog? The Enforcer followed their gaze, and his eyes settled on a calm Angel.
Was Angel now called Shava? The Enforcer’s expression turned quizzically. When had he adopted that name?
Moreover, these strange ladies seemed to regard Angel with great respect. Were they here for him?
The Enforcer held his tongue, stepping aside to observe this bizarre scene quietly.
Meanwhile, Angel, the recipient of the ladies’ bows, was inwardly panicking, yet his face remained a mask of composure as his right eye slowly emitted a green rune.
“Are you here to take it back?” Angel slowly began, without returning their salutations or greetings, for his last encounter in the Land of Heart Sigh was marked by a cold demeanor, leaving no room for pleasantries. Consistent with his previous character portrayal, Angel naturally refrained from any unnecessary small talk.
Seeing Angel point at the spotted puppy, the black and white ladies, more precisely, the Black and White Maids, nodded slightly: “Yes, since its departure, the Land of Heart Sigh has descended into chaos.”
“Has Minister Dim sent any message?” Angel continued to inquire.
“Yes, but Lord Nooka has already responded, claiming it was merely visiting the Land of Heart Sigh and would return within three days according to the time of the Inner Realm,” the white maid said with a helpless look towards the spotted puppy: “That’s why we’ve come to take it home now.”
The spotted puppy, uninterested in the white maid’s gaze, quickly turned and leaped into Angel’s arms.
The black maid observed, “It seems reluctant to leave your side, Highness.”
Angel lowered his head, feigning contemplation for a moment, then gently stroked the spotted puppy’s fur: “It’s time to go back.”
This reassurance brightened the Black and White Maids’ eyes; if the spotted puppy truly wished not to leave, they had no means to compel it, but with Shava’s persuasive words, the outcome might differ.
The spotted puppy nuzzled against Angel’s neck, whimpering softly in reluctance.
Angel softly reminded, “Don’t forget our agreement; we’ll see each other again. So, you should head home now.”
His repeated persuasion halted the spotted puppy’s actions, and it reluctantly bowed its head.
The Black and White Maids, seeing the spotted puppy lower its head, understood the mission was accomplished, and their looks towards Angel carried a touch more gratitude.
Although the spotted puppy had agreed to return, it did not jump down from Angel’s embrace but instead turned to face the maids and barked loudly.
This display of defiance, starkly different from its demeanor with Angel, did not bother the maids, who respectfully nodded: “We understand.”
Angel looked puzzled at the maids. What did they understand? The dog’s barking wasn’t meaningless, was it?
While Angel was visibly confused, the maids slowly parted, the black maid’s left hand shimmering with a dark glow, and the white maid’s right hand sparkling with light. As the brilliance from both hands reached its peak, they simultaneously pushed their luminous hands together.
At the convergence of black and white, smoke began to billow, and beneath the maids’ skirts, the power furnace roared to life.
Amidst the rolling smoke, a great gate forged of steel and gears slowly rose.
As the gate fully ascended, a loud “boom” resounded as the gate flung open.
Behind the gate was a sky bathed in rosy red.
Beneath this celestial dome lay a highland all too familiar to Angel.
The Paramjit Plateau!
To be precise, right at the heart of the Paramjit Plateau, from where one could even glimpse the location of the Star Pool Ruins.
After the gate was opened, the Black and White Maids each stood on one side of the great gate, gracefully bowing in this ceremonial manner to welcome the return of the spotted puppy.
“The gate is already open, and it’s time for you to return,” Angel gently patted the spotted puppy.
The spotted puppy turned its head towards Angel and whimpered again, its eyes filled with reluctance.
Angel sighed, about to say something, when suddenly he felt a scrutinizing gaze from the side. Glancing back slightly, he noticed the Enforcer watching him with a peculiar look.
Undoubtedly, the Enforcer had many questions he wanted to ask him. However, these were questions that Angel presumed he could not answer.
Feeling the Enforcer’s gaze, Angel was struck with an idea.
“I’ll take you to Heart Sigh, and it just so happens I have some business on the Paramjit Plateau myself,” Angel said with a slightly unnatural tone as he coughed twice.
The spotted puppy’s eyes brightened as it raised its head.
“Let’s go, I’ll accompany you on Sending You On Your Way,” Angel finished speaking and turned to look at the Enforcer.
The Enforcer was still watching him.
Angel nodded gently towards him as a gesture of respect. Then, with a slight movement of his hand, an envelope infused with Nightmare Aura appeared in his palm.
The moment the envelope appeared, it sprouted pristine small wings and fluttered in mid-air before landing in the Enforcer’s hand.
Angel conveyed with his eyes: The answers you seek are within this envelope.
The Enforcer didn’t immediately inspect the envelope but quietly watched as Angel, holding the spotted dog, entered the peculiar steel gate.
After Angel and the spotted dog had left, the Black and White Maids didn’t linger either and also entered through the gate. As they departed, the gate vanished as quickly as an illusory bubble.
Had it not been for the lingering pungent odor in the air, the events that had just unfolded would seem nothing more than an illusion.
…
After the steel gate disappeared, the Enforcer still stared at the place where the gate had been, his expression contemplative.
Those two women… The scent on them, as well as the aura of their energies, now that he considered it, seemed to carry the aura of that world.
He had always speculated that the spotted puppy was a demon of the void that had sprung from somewhere. From the women’s remarks, it seemed he might have found the answer.
If it truly was from that world, then its terrifying capabilities were explainable.
After all, even in the Source World, that world was considered taboo.
Yet, while he might have found the answer to the origin of the spotted dog, the mystery surrounding Angel remained unresolved.
Previously, he had speculated that Angel might be a subordinate of the spotted dog, but now, it seemed he might have been mistaken.
Angel was not only close with the spotted dog but also held in high regard by the two remarkably capable women. This was quite peculiar.
He knew that Angel might have received some of the world’s knowledge traditions, but knowledge was one thing, status and identity another.
Clearly, Angel’s identity was extraordinary in the eyes of the two women and the spotted dog.
Highness Shava? Angel? How strange.
The Enforcer shook his head; unable to figure it out, he decided to see what Angel himself had to say. He looked down at the envelope in his hand.
Just as he was about to open the envelope, a sudden sonic boom cut through the air.
What a lively day?
The Enforcer frowned and looked up, only to see two robed wizards appearing in the sky.
They were the two members of the Extreme Sect who had been tracking the Black and White Maids.
“Bishop, we can smell those two stowaways here, but they seem to have disappeared,” said the man in the gray robe, sniffing the residual scents in the air.
The wizard in the black sacred robe also smelled the pungent odor. His gaze wandered below, and soon, he spotted the Enforcer standing near a steel base.
Upon seeing the Enforcer, his pupils shrank slightly.
“Saladin, stop, let’s go meet that lord.”
“Which lord?” Saladin looked puzzled at the black robed bishop.
“The observer of this world. Also, the representative of the World Will.”
…
“Lord Enforcer.”
The black robed bishop and Saladin knelt on the ground, greeting the Enforcer with high etiquette.
The Enforcer glanced at them, his look slightly complex.
The Extreme Sect was the only organization in this world that could legitimately recognize his identity as the Enforcer, as they were favored by the World Will.
However, from the Enforcer’s perspective, he was not particularly fond of the Extreme Sect’s methods.
As their name suggested, they were too extreme.
Visitors from other worlds are not always stowaways, but the Extreme Sect brands all otherworldly beings with the mark of sin. Even those who possess objects from other worlds are considered criminals.
This is clearly an overreach.
But there’s no helping it, as the World Will is not a moral court. Favor is favor, and the Enforcer, even if displeased, cannot openly object, and sometimes must even collaborate with them.
Thus, it is also difficult for the Enforcer to outright confront them.
The Enforcer nodded slightly, choosing not to speak.
The black robed bishop took the initiative to ask, “I wonder if the lord has seen two women dressed in steel skirts? They are stowaways from another world, currently under the gaze of the World Will.”
That this could be connected to the World Will… The Enforcer internally criticized, but since the other party mentioned the World Will, he couldn’t well remain silent: “I saw them, those two women just departed through a planar gate from here.”
“They left? Do you know where they might have gone?” the bishop furrowed his brow.
The Enforcer replied, “Perhaps to Eternal Night Kingdom.”
The Enforcer didn’t directly mention the Paramjit Plateau but referred to the adjacent Eternal Night Kingdom. This wasn’t exactly misleading, given that the aura of the two women suggested they likely came from the Eternal Night Kingdom.
As for whether the Extreme Sect had the courage to check the Eternal Night Kingdom, its current state would tell.
The black robed bishop was silent for a moment: “I understand, thank you for your time, Lord.”
With that, the bishop and Saladin promptly departed from the area.
Once they had left, the Enforcer picked up the envelope again.
Upon opening it, a letter crafted from illusions floated before his eyes.
The Enforcer thought it would contain an answer from Angel, even if fabricated, but… it did not.
The letter simply read:
“Lord Enforcer, if you have time, consider using the login device. Oh, and please take care of Woof Woof for now.”
