Chapter 619 The True Form of Yorkshire <TOC> Chapter 621 The Chapel

They landed near a chapel, which was close to the south gate of Sleepless City.
“Angel, do you have a way to leave here?” Nausica leaned against the chapel wall, holding a silver pipe in her left hand, puffing clouds of smoke. Her voice carried a hint of hoarseness and haziness in the haze.
“No way, I want to see if this dog can bring us another miracle.” Angel shrugged: “By the way, this pipe… I haven’t seen it before.”
Nausica exhaled a wisp of white smoke with a faint floral scent and then pointed to the chapel: “I just swiped it from there, I don’t know where my pipe went. Speaking of which, this tobacco is actually top-quality Silver Scaled Rose, a roll of it costs at least ten magic crystals. I don’t usually have the money to smoke such expensive tobacco.”
Angel: “You’re not afraid of swiping something dirty?”
Nausica didn’t care: “I washed it with water. You taught me the water delivery spell, and I’ve never slacked off in practicing it.”
While the two were talking, inspired by Nausica’s swiped pipe, Coral’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Now that Sleepless City is completely empty, can’t we…take anything we want?”
“More valuable extraordinary items definitely have protective measures.” Angel pointed to a bookstore across the street: “If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Coral didn’t listen to Angel’s advice at this moment, her eyes gleaming, mumbling about making a fortune, and walked into the bookstore.
Angel: “You just let her go in?”
Nausica playfully flicked her hair, smiling brightly: “If she doesn’t try, she won’t give up.”
“Alright, there are no parasites nearby, you wait here, and I’ll go to the south gate to check the situation.” With that, Angel called the spotted dog to follow him and walked to the south gate of Sleepless City, fifty meters away.
Because it was daytime in Sleepless City when the Dark Domain covered it, the tall and majestic south gate was wide open. However, behind the gate was not the outskirts, but a pitch-black fog.
Angel first asked the spotted dog to wait in place, and he walked into the fog.
After a while, a dizzy Angel returned to the south gate. After entering the fog, whether he walked straight or in circles, he would always return to the starting point.
After trying personally without success, Angel squatted down and whispered to the spotted dog: “Little Spot, is there any way you can take us out of here?”
The spotted dog was confused about the name “Little Spot” and tilted its head for a long time before realizing it was being called. It barked a few times, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction.
Angel, oblivious, continued to urge and ask if there was a way to leave.
The spotted dog lowered its head, seemingly sighing. Then, resignedly wagging its tail, it walked into the dark mist.
Seeing this, Angel immediately followed. The spotted dog’s walking pattern was odd, meandering in circles, not like walking in a straight line; but Angel found that the more he followed the spotted dog’s steps, the thinner the mist in front of him became.
“It feels like walking through a maze,” Angel wondered.
At some point, the spotted dog suddenly stopped, squatting in the now grayish-white mist. Angel, however, did not pause and took a step forward.
With that step, Angel found himself outside the dark mist.
A few hundred meters in front of him, a witch was laughing shrilly, holding a thorny whip and brutally whipping the parasitized apprentices around her.
This person was none other than “Whip Witch” Lexa, whom Angel had seen not long ago.
Angel’s sudden appearance immediately caught Lexa’s attention. Her eyes first showed surprise, then quickly turned to delight. With a seductive smile on her face, she put away her whip and rushed towards Angel.
Seeing this, Angel immediately stepped back, re-entering the mist.
Once inside the mist, Angel faintly heard furious roaring from outside: “Damn you, brat!”
By this time, Angel had already appeared at the south gate of Sleepless City, with the spotted dog obediently squatting by his side.
“Phew—” Angel breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost come face-to-face with a formal witch just now, but luckily he was quick.
Although his heart was pounding, Angel’s overall mood was still quite comfortable, as he could at least confirm one thing: this spotted dog could indeed lead them out of here!
“Angel, what’s the situation? I saw you going back and forth in the mist, are you sure we can get out?”
Accompanied by the scent of roses, Nausica appeared, wrapped in a haze.
Instead of answering immediately, Angel looked at Coral beside Nausica, who was supporting a sleepy Hilary with a gloomy face. The whole person looked like a wilted yellow flower after autumn, lacking energy.
“How’s that, Princess Coral? Did you get what you wanted?” Angel laughed.
Coral glared at Angel and said irritably: “You knew it all along, didn’t you? There’s a strange magic formation inside. I could only look at the cover. As soon as I flipped the pages, my vision went black. I’m so mad!”
“Many magic formations can be forcibly destroyed, but most shops like this will set up self-destructive runes. They’d rather destroy the books than let thieves pry into them,” Angel explained.
In fact, he didn’t say that such magic formations could also be deciphered, but the time consumed increased exponentially. Moreover, since he no longer had a physical body as a basis, it was nearly impossible for him to decipher the formation. So, even though Angel knew that the entire Sleepless City was almost defenseless, he never had the intention to “sweep” through it.
Of course, some shops might not have set up magic formations, or their formations hadn’t been activated yet. But these shops were few and far between, and it wasn’t worth wasting a lot of time and energy searching for them in the vast Sleepless City.
Upon hearing about the self-destructing runes from Angel, Coral couldn’t help but curse: “These shopkeepers are such dogs!”
However, her cursing was met with an unhappy growl from the spotted dog.
Coral immediately switched her expression: “I’m not talking about you! I’m talking about other dogs, other dogs.”
Seeing Coral’s playful scolding expression, Angel and Nausica exchanged glances, their worry finally subsiding a little. The incident with Gank might still linger in Coral’s heart for a long time, but at least for now, her mood seemed to be gradually recovering.
“Can we leave this place?” Nausica asked.
Coral also looked over, as this Dark Domain was full of danger and sadness for her. Most importantly, with so many empty shops, she couldn’t touch anything! She was frustrated, and if she could leave, she would naturally choose to do so.
Under their gazes, Angel nodded: “It seems to be a labyrinth in the mist. Little Spot can lead us out.”
“Really?!” Coral exclaimed in surprise: “Are you sure it’s called Little Spot and not the Almighty Dog?”
Nausica also chuckled softly, looking very relaxed because even the last obstacle seemed to have been removed.
Coral kept thanking the spotted dog until it growled impatiently at her. Then she turned to Angel and asked: “Can we leave now?”
Speaking of leaving, Angel’s expression slowly darkened: “We can leave, but the outside is very dangerous. There are people being parasitized, as well as parasites themselves. I just encountered ‘Whip Witch’ Lexa when I went out earlier. If I hadn’t hidden quickly, I would’ve been caught by her.”
Nausica also hesitated, showing a thoughtful expression: “According to what you said earlier, no creatures have left the Dark Domain yet, but you showed your face and were seen by Lexa… That will definitely raise the alarm outside. Maybe the edge of the mist has already been arranged for surveillance.”
Finally, Nausica spoke with a serious expression: “If we leave at this time, it might not be a good thing.”
Coral nodded as well. Although her personality was somewhat unconventional, she was ultimately the oldest person present, well-versed in human affairs, and had a deep understanding of the Wizarding World: “Indeed. If we go out now, the outside wizards might not necessarily harm us, but we definitely won’t receive any good treatment either. Moreover, their target is the Mysterious Object, and we are leaving from this restricted area, which means… We are very likely to be involved in some struggles.”
Angel pondered: “Then let’s wait for Mentor to come find us, and we’ll leave at that time.”
The three eventually reached this consensus. In the Wizarding World where strength was paramount, having a giant like Sanders in front could make many things easier.
“If I were a formal wizard, I wouldn’t be afraid. I could go out if I wanted to, or come in if I wanted to,” Coral sighed.
“Then work hard. I don’t want to see your aged appearance in a hundred years,” Nausica said.
“From the tone of your voice, you’re so sure you can become a wizard?” Coral glanced over: “I have no doubt about Angel, but as for you… I have to put a question mark on it.”
“Of course, I will definitely become a wizard,” Nausica replied without hesitation.
“Who would believe that…”
Listening to the two of them arguing, Angel, who was leaning on the side, looked confused and sighed inwardly: This fragile sisterly bond…
…
Time went back slightly, in the inner city of Sleepless City.
Reluctantly, Lexa revealed the information she had seen about “Angel”.
In fact, she was thinking of capturing Angel and secretly forcing him to divulge the method of entering and leaving Sleepless City and the situation inside, and then trying to seize the Mysterious Object. But there was no way, she saw a wizard’s eye nearby, and she couldn’t determine whose wizard’s eye it was and how much content it had seen.
So, under such circumstances, Lexa simply told the news, as if she was doing Sleepless City a favor.
In the Windy District.
Lexa’s message once again stirred up a wave of speculation among the wizards.
Not long ago, Professor Angelo, “The String Plucker,” had forcibly plucked the String of the World to see some images inside Sleepless City. The shocking energy storm back then was caused by Angel.
If that energy storm could continue, perhaps the Dark Domain outside Sleepless City would be eliminated.
But Sanders stopped Angel.
Now, Angel was actually the first to leave Sleepless City? It is important to note that at least twenty wizards had fallen in the Dark Domain!
How could an apprentice stir up such a storm?
Could it be that, as they had guessed earlier, Angel had some special alchemy item in his hands?
