Angel rejected Sanders’ proposal.
Once he hid in the Gravity Garden, the chances of Nausica and others surviving in the parasite-infested Dark Domain were almost non-existent.
Sanders smiled ambiguously, not surprised by Angel’s choice.
Suddenly, his eyebrows raised slightly, casting his gaze on a little figure behind Angel’s feet.
When he arrived, he sensed everyone here with his mental power, but he didn’t notice the spotted dog behind Angel’s feet.
“How is it still following you?”
Sanders was about to ask about the spotted dog when Yorkshire’s cold voice reached their ears: “Hiss—”
“You two are so persistent, especially you… Watcher, it’s one thing that you’re not used by the Queen, but you’re trying to stop her from Touring…” Yorkshire stopped halfway through, his gaze fixed on Angel who stood beside Sanders.
“Greetings to Your Highness Shava.”
Gloria, puzzled, followed Yorkshire’s gaze to Angel behind her, her expression showing contemplation.
Angel originally planned to find an opportunity to take Nausica and others to the edge of the Dark Domain to see if there were other ways to leave. Because Yorkshire suddenly pointed out his identity, he looked up blankly.
With a pitch-black void as the background where Yorkshire was, Angel had only seen a dark shadow before.
But now, Yorkshire had moved to the nest below along the golden lines, and he finally saw Yorkshire’s true form.
As Sanders had previously said, Yorkshire was not human but a bizarrely dressed… python.
Wearing a red crown, its pupils were turbid yellow, always carrying a cold and ruthless light. It was covered in dark scales, and countless golden lines were woven on the scales. These golden lines sometimes formed butterfly wings, allowing it to fly, and sometimes formed claws, like the divine dragons of ancient China.
Most peculiarly, behind Yorkshire, one could vaguely see the golden lines binding three puppet dolls, almost identical to the puppet woman they encountered outside the transmission hall.
“Why would Your Highness Shava be with this rebellious Watcher? The Queen sets this place as an outpost for her Tour, and by doing this… you are opposing the Queen!” Yorkshire’s tone suddenly shifted from respectful to cold and firm.
Angel narrowed his eyes. This was the first time, besides saying “Your Highness Shava”, that he had encountered a nightmare creature with a tough attitude towards him.
He was considering his words, thinking about what kind of spell to use to talk to Yorkshire when Sanders, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: “Yorkshire, you know your identity very well, what qualifications do you have to question our Highness Shava’s decision?”
“You!” Yorkshire was at a loss for words, stuttering for a while, but didn’t ask any further questions, just looking more sinister.
Sanders’ mouth curled up slightly, and he had some guesses in his heart: “Our Highness Shava’s decision is not for you to question. Today’s matter is between you and me, what does it have to do with Your Highness Shava?”
Yorkshire didn’t answer, just looked maliciously at Sanders.
Gloria turned her head and looked at Sanders with a questioning gaze. Sanders didn’t say anything but whispered to Angel: “You leave here first, and I will come to find you.”
Angel glanced coldly at Yorkshire, who turned his head to avoid Angel’s gaze.
“Yorkshire, this time the Watcher is right, how can you question our Highness Shava’s affairs? Just because of what you said just now, as long as it is reported to the Queen, you will never have the chance to turn over.” A faint voice accompanied by a fragrant wind, the red fox, carrying a delicate harp, landed beside Yorkshire.
“Foxx, do you know that, if it wasn’t for an accident, it was our Highness Shava who destroyed our…”
“Be careful of what you say.” A cold light flashed in the charming eyes of Foxx. Seeing that there was still a trace of anger in Yorkshire’s expression, she sighed softly and whispered: “Do you think our Highness Shava is more important to the Queen, or a small plane outpost?”
“And, remember forever, we are just insignificant pawns, and our Highness Shava is…”
Foxx’s words silenced Yorkshire.
However, they were all using sound transmission, so the others didn’t get any information.
“Leave, this battle is not something you can participate in.” Sanders transmitted his voice again, and Angel nodded, stepping onto Toby’s back.
“I’ll go first.” Angel said, beckoning Toby to fly into the air.
After circling twice, Toby stepped on the gray lines, carrying Nausica and others, flying towards the dark depths.
Shortly after Toby left, a burst of fire erupted behind him.
Angel flew high into the sky, watching the strong explosion from the position of the lake they had been at before, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. That soaring high-energy reaction, if he was there, he probably wouldn’t even last a second.
The sound of Toby flapping its wings came from behind, and Angel shook his head, flying back onto Toby’s back to let it carry everyone to the edge of the Dark Domain.
This time, the purpose of coming to Sleepless City was fully achieved, so Toby flew at a steady pace.
Feeling unburdened, Angel relaxed and pulled the spotted dog close, whispering a word of thanks. The rescue of Nausica would not have been so easy without its help.
Moreover, not long ago, he had gained great benefits from the spotted dog’s body. Although he was still in a soul state and unable to experiment with the effects, he believed that whether he succeeded or not, he had taken a big step towards the Mysterious Alchemist Realm.
So, in any case, Angel’s gratitude was sincere, but due to the previous shock, he had not fully trusted this dog.
Whether it swallowed him or went to devour Hookedick’s soul lines, it carried a sense of strangeness. It always appeared harmless, making it difficult for Angel to be completely at ease.
The reason he still kept the spotted dog with him was entirely that he could not think of a way to leave this Dark Domain. Since this Dark Domain was created by Yorkshire, he wanted to test if this spotted dog had any solutions.
As he carefully observed the spotted dog, Nausica on the other side was already able to move slightly. She leaned against Toby’s neck and waved at Angel: “I heard from Coral that it’s all thanks to you this time, or else we would have been wiped out.”
Angel waved his hand: “You don’t need to thank me. I have some matters for you to solve, which will serve as the reward for saving you.”
“I’m all ears.” Nausica shrugged.
Angel had mentioned the Kulakuka tribe issue to Nausica before, and it so happened that the Kulakuka people were now staying on Phantom Island. Once things were settled here, Nausica could go and see their bloodline issue.
“It’s simple. If I leave here, I’ll go over and check it out right away,” Nausica nodded in agreement.
She understood Angel’s intention to not burden her too much. She appreciated the gesture, but that didn’t stop her from keeping the lifesaving grace in her heart.
“By the way, I heard from Coral that Hookedick was killed by you?” Nausica’s face didn’t show the same regret as Coral’s. For her, as long as Hookedick was dead, a major problem was solved, and she didn’t care if she was the one to kill him personally.
“That’s right, I didn’t expect this guy to be hiding in Sleepless City all this time.”
“The stationed wizard of Sleepless City is Lord Firo the ‘Firewalker’, who is a close friend of Lord Nisi, so Hookedick has been staying here.” Nausica paused, her face showing a trace of concern: “Hookedick is a soul type, are you sure you’ve eradicated his soul as well?”
Angel nodded: “Of course, I’m in a soul state right now, so I’m very clear about it.”
Nausica’s eyes widened in surprise, and Coral looked over in amazement: “You’re in a soul state right now?”
Angel said irritably: “I haven’t used a single trick along the way, haven’t you noticed?”
Nausica and Coral looked at each other and said in unison: “We really didn’t notice.”
Nausica clicked her tongue twice: “With this level of soul solidity, I guess you wouldn’t have to kill him; he’d have died of anger already.”
With the burden lifted from their hearts, their conversation became more relaxed. However, Angel noticed that although Coral was smiling and talking with them, there was a trace of sadness between her eyebrows.
Gank’s passing clearly hadn’t allowed her to move on from the pain.
As for Hilary, she lived up to the name “Sleepy Trickle to Flowing Stream”, and once she was sure the surroundings were safe, she fell asleep again.
“Speaking of souls, it’s actually quite strange. After my experience at the bottom of the lake, I found that my soul is much stronger than before.” Nausica said with a puzzled expression.
Angel: “Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Perhaps this is the opportunity you got after breaking free from the puppet blank body transformation.”
“Puppet blank body…” Nausica pondered the term and then recalled the strange snake called Yorkshire she had seen earlier: “Angel, what exactly happened here? That snake and the puppet blank body you mentioned, what are they?”
Angel: “Many things involved here are beyond our level of understanding, and knowing too much is not a good thing.”
Nausica thought for a moment and nodded: “I understand.” Then she turned her gaze to the spotted dog: “I suppose if I ask you about the origin of this dog, you won’t tell me either, will you?”
Angel scratched his head: “Actually, I’m not too clear about its origin either.”
“Alright.” Nausica didn’t continue to ask but instead talked with Angel about her experience after being captured by Yorkshire.
