Chapter 427 Bid Farewell to the Homeland <TOC> Chapter 429 Returning to the Surface World

On their way out, they took a detour to Woodbud Village.
Angel did not disturb the peaceful and harmonious life of the villagers, but instead sent a message to Babaya’s grandmother: “Your granddaughter will leave this place and go to the human world. She will never return, and she hopes you will go with her. If you are willing, bring your luggage and come to the entrance of the village in ten minutes. If you are not willing, I will leave.”
Angel did not say who he was, but only stated the matter.
Although he had promised Babaya that he would take her grandmother away, when Angel arrived in Woodbud Village, he discovered that Babaya’s grandmother was not only physically disabled, but also seemed to have internal health issues. For such an old and sickly elder, Angel ultimately did not force the matter, leaving the choice to Babaya’s grandmother.
Given Babaya’s grandmother’s physical condition, it was a blessing to be able to last half a year. It was obviously impossible to leave her homeland for such a long and arduous journey. So, Angel did not think that Babaya’s grandmother would appear on time, but after ten minutes, Angel was silent.
Babaya’s grandmother, with a slight limp in her step, carried a small blue bundle and walked out of her room. She bid farewell to the villagers with a smile and said she was going to travel far away with her granddaughter and would never come back. She even arranged for someone to take care of her house while laughing.
The villagers, in addition to being surprised, were mostly blessing Babaya’s grandmother for her sudden decision.
Looking at Babaya’s grandmother, who had a sickly face but a kind smile, Angel sighed. He didn’t expect her to leave so resolutely just with her granddaughter’s words, even though she didn’t know whether Angel’s message was true or false.
When Babaya’s grandmother reached the entrance of the village, Angel gently cast a healing spell on her. This was a small effort, and whether it was helpful or not, Angel hoped that this affection could go further.
Before taking Babaya’s grandmother into the bracelet, Angel had already informed Babaya, so she had been waiting at the base of the building.
As soon as she saw her grandmother, Babaya ran over with tears in her eyes.
Angel looked away, as both reunion and parting felt like soft knives stabbing his heart, making him unconsciously think of his distant home and loved ones.
Shadow watched this scene coldly, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth: “I’ve noticed your weaknesses are becoming more and more apparent. Why not restrain yourself from unnecessary emotions?”
Shadow judged others by himself, and his words naturally came from his perspective. Of course, his words were also in line with the mainstream values of the Wizarding World.
However, the fact that he could say this showed that he had genuinely let go of his grudges and was offering advice to Angel.
In response to Shadow’s words, Angel just smiled and did not reply. He understood Shadow’s meaning; from his perspective, Angel’s behavior was indeed too kind to ordinary people.
But he didn’t think that having such values was a weakness; he was willing to help those he liked with just a little effort, whether they were ordinary people or extraordinary beings. However, this only extended to small favors; if they wanted more, they would have to pay a corresponding price. As for those he didn’t like, he wouldn’t even bother to look at them, no matter how much they begged.
Because of their different bottom lines, he didn’t want to argue with Shadow about who was superior.
Shadow, in response to Angel’s silence, just pouted and shrugged, mumbling for a while before moving on from the topic.
After leaving the Wizard Garden, they returned to the Middle World, beneath the dome.
As soon as they set foot on solid ground, Angel felt a familiar chill. He looked up and saw the giant eye, its blood-red pupil filled with cruelty and bloodlust, staring silently at the two of them.
Shadow swallowed hard: “Damn, how unlucky can you be, encountering Cersabiras twice in a row?”
Pausing, Shadow added: “Now it’s got its eye on me too.”
“Don’t put the blame on me… Is there any harm in being watched by it?” Angel retorted, then suddenly looked suspiciously at Shadow: The last time only he was watched by Cersabiras, Shadow seemed to have said nothing? This time, when Shadow was also watched, did it change its story?
Shadow sheepishly said: “Its gaze is actually just to remember your appearance. As long as you don’t enter its field of vision, you’ll be fine.”
Angel stared deeply at Shadow.
When Cersabiras closed its eye again, the two of them, along with a magical puppet, rushed toward Middle World’s “Corpse Hiding Cave.”
Angel remained silent the entire way, and Shadow scratched its head for a long time before saying: “Actually, the reason I didn’t say anything last time was because I thought you wouldn’t go outside the dome… After all, isn’t your goal to leave the Fairytale World?”
Angel glanced at Shadow: “I remember you once said that Silent Hill is also in the Middle World.”
“Although Silent Hill is in Middle World, we can’t possibly travel through it, the Middle World is too dangerous.” Shadow began listing the monsters of Middle World, like Cersabiras, the Magic Source Giant, and the Fiery Molten Bird, talking for a long time without stopping. Finally, seeing that Angel wasn’t listening, it muttered: “Walking through Surface World is the safest and most comfortable.”
After Shadow finished speaking, Angel suddenly remembered the “Gami, Gao, Gmiao” brothers: “Where are the Gami brothers now?”
“I told them to go back to Surface World first.”
Angel: “I’m curious, is their ‘opening doors’ a spatial spell?”
Shadow: “Didn’t I say before? This is a talent infused into their bloodline by Lady Isabelle, but it can only be used in the Fairytale World.”
As Shadow said this, it suddenly leaned over to Angel’s ear and whispered: “Actually, there’s another reason Lady Isabelle could grant the Kulakuka tribe this bloodline talent… It’s because she was once the true master of this affiliated plane and had been in close contact with the laws of Fairytale World.”
“But after she left the Southern Region, the master of the Fairytale World had already changed. Now that she’s back, I think the Fairytale World will be lively in the future!”
Back in Corpse Hiding Cave of Middle World, the Magician and controlled wizard apprentices were still standing foolishly in front of the teleportation formation. For more than ten days, they hadn’t had a drop of water or a grain of rice, appearing emaciated and weak.
If not for their extraordinary identities, they would have starved to death by now.
Shadow didn’t care if they were hungry or thirsty, as long as they didn’t die. Controlling the wizard apprentices, he gave Angel a thumbs up: “Let’s go back.”
As a white light flashed, their figures disappeared from Middle World.
…
When Angel returned to Surface World, Gloria in Inner World suddenly brought him up again.
Time went back two hours earlier, in the first-floor hall of Black Castle.
Felicia was sipping wine, and Gloria was sitting beside her, activating the feather earrings Angel had crafted for her. As white feathers fell before their eyes, a mysterious illusion appeared before them.
As the illusion enveloped them, Gloria’s heart began pounding before she could see the contents of the illusion.
Her intense heartbeat even attracted Felicia’s attention.
“What’s wrong?”
Gloria shook her head with a solemn expression: “I feel something is wrong with this illusion, my heart is beating so fast.”
Felicia frowned, not feeling anything, “Could it be that Angel kid tampered with the illusion?”
“It shouldn’t be.” Gloria looked up at the suddenly changing environment: sunlight, waves, and sandy beach.
Beneath their feet was a golden soft beach, with waves surging up in succession, bringing the ocean’s gift each time they soaked. Along the entire coastline, they could see the ebb and flow of the tide as well as colorful shells and coral.
Behind the sandy beach, there was a row of lush palm trees.
The sky was blue, with white clouds floating by, and seabirds flying past from time to time.
At this moment, a grey feather fell, and the two looked up to find a seagull wearing a sailor suit.
“Toby.”/ “Wine thief!”
Toby soared leisurely in the sky, accompanied by the blue sea, blue sky, and the sound of waves, making people unconsciously feel lazy, even as if time had become more leisurely.
“How are you feeling now?” Felicia asked.
“My heartbeat has returned to normal, it seems to be fine, maybe it was just an illusion?” Gloria was also puzzled.
Toby suddenly flew along the palm trees towards the depths of the land. Gloria saw this and hurriedly followed… her following was actually just a thought, her real body did not move, but from her perspective, she really seemed to have caught up with Toby’s pace.
Felicia didn’t follow Toby but instead stayed in place, casually drinking wine under the vast sky and dining by the vast ocean. She preferred to relax rather than chase after the wine thief.
Time passed unknowingly, and Felicia noticed that the sky had become dark and gloomy, with mist floating in, condensing into a hazy white fog on the sea surface.
“The illusion can change? Interesting.” Felicia initially thought the main storyline of the illusion was the wine thief, but to her surprise, a new change appeared on her side even though she stayed in place.
The fog grew denser and denser until she couldn’t see anything on the sea surface.
At that moment, a distant trumpet sound echoed. A massive shadow emerged from the fog, and Felicia curiously watched it without using any spells, simply enjoying the novelty the illusion brought to her physical senses.
Closer, closer, even closer.
When the shadow was about a hundred meters from the sea surface, Felicia finally saw what the shadow was.
It turned out to be a large, dilapidated cruise ship, seemingly made of wood. The figurehead was a bizarre peeing child, the sails on the mast were tattered beyond repair… To put it nicely, it was a scrapped cruise ship; to put it bluntly, this was a ghost ship!
A hint of interest flashed in Felicia’s eyes. She didn’t expect a ghost ship to appear. Angel was quite playful, huh? One illusion with two storylines?
Filled with curiosity, Felicia flew towards the direction of the ghost ship.
