Windy District.
Now, there were fewer familiar faces here, but more unfamiliar ones. The Dark Domain was filled with an eerie atmosphere, but it also meant there were secrets inside. Some wizards from the academic faction were those who, for the sake of research, would ignore the dangers. Therefore, a large number of academically-minded wizards flocked here.
Apart from the academic faction, there were also many wizards who came for the Mysterious Object.
However, this time, although there were many wizards, there were only a few apprentices. Apparently, the strange specks of light outside the Dark Domain had already alarmed the major wizard organizations.
As people came, naturally others would leave. Under this constant coming and goings, Windy District looked almost the same as before, neither deserted nor bustling.
Douglas was now in a domed meeting room in the center of Windy District, where nearly thirty wizards from various places had gathered.
“I suppose you all know the reason for your coming here, so I won’t say much. Ona, you tell them.” Douglas gave up the central position, and a middle-aged woman in a traditional star and moon wizard robe stepped forward.
Ona was a cold-looking witch with an exquisite golden single-sided chain eyepiece and wrinkles on both sides of her mouth, making her look quite severe.
“Lord Radiant asked me to go to the Gloriosa Kingdom to seek help from the Crown Star Church,” Ona paused: “However, I did not reach the Gloriosa Kingdom because as soon as I teleported to the Silver Nexus, I encountered Lord Prada.”
Prada, the Star Gazer, was a well-known prophecy wizard in the Gloriosa Kingdom.
“He seemed to know that we would go to the Gloriosa Kingdom and was waiting for me at the Silver Nexus on purpose. I asked him about the Dark Domain, and his answer was almost the same as Professor Angelo’s, and his attitude towards the Dark Domain was still not optimistic.”
Ona’s words made the faces of most of the wizards present turn gloomy, especially those from Sleepless City, whose faces were almost black. Prada’s words once again confirmed Angelo’s previous speculation, and it seemed that Sleepless City would have to be relocated.
Only the wizards from Twilight’s Edge, although expressionless, if observed carefully, one could see a trace of secret delight in their eyes.
Twilight’s Edge and Sleepless City were both located in Eternal Night Kingdom and were both semi-large wizard organizations, just one step away from becoming large wizard organizations. Under such a coincidental situation, although there was no major conflict between the two organizations on the surface, there were countless secret rivalries behind the scenes.
For example, in Sleepless City, there is an Eternal Day City. Twilight’s Edge immediately created an Eternal Night Mountain. Although it seems a bit petty, it can be seen from this matter that the two wizard organizations are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface.
Now, after Prada’s words, it is estimated that Sleepless City will move away from here. Although it’s only losing its base, it’s equivalent to hurting its foundations.
Even if Sleepless City moves to another place in Eternal Night Kingdom, it has already fallen behind in competing with Twilight’s Edge. Not to mention, after this incident, it is basically impossible for Sleepless City to step into the ranks of large wizard organizations.
Under such circumstances, the people of Twilight’s Edge did not laugh out loud, which was already considered polite.
However, their performance was still very eye-catching in the gloomy meeting hall. Seeing this, Quete, who has always been quick-witted, snorted coldly: “Even if we the Sleepless City wizards move away, we cannot possibly continue to settle in Eternal Night Kingdom. Who knows if this Dark Domain will continue to expand, if the specks of light and monsters inside will escape, and then… it will be the other organizations in Eternal Night Kingdom that should worry.”
Quete’s words indirectly targeted Twilight’s Edge.
However, no one refuted it because there was some truth in Quete’s words.
At this moment, Ona, standing in the center, suddenly said: “I wonder if you all remember that not long ago, a message came from the Shining Plane saying ‘shadows spread across the southern lands, and the morning sun will rise.’ We haven’t seen the morning sun yet, but the shadows have begun to spread. Today, the shadow is in Eternal Day City, but maybe tomorrow, it will drift to Eternal Night Mountain.”
Ona followed Quete’s words and once again targeted the people of Twilight’s Edge.
In this wizards’ assembly, the people of Twilight’s Edge did not shout angrily, only the “Evil Dragon” Harris snorted coldly, murmuring: “We are happy, but happy in our hearts; some people are angry, but angry on the surface. Who is superior and who is inferior, the people present are not fools.”
Harris’s words made the people around them smirk.
Indeed, Quete and Ona’s angry behavior was a bit excessive. After all, the people of Twilight’s Edge were just secretly delighted in their hearts and did not laugh out loud, right?
“You won’t laugh for long.” Quete said coldly.
“Quete, now we need to focus on the important matter. Don’t waste everyone’s time with irrelevant things.” The calm Lord Payne finally stepped up.
After Quete stopped talking, some wizards began to inquire about what to do with those who had been invaded by the specks of light, and whether Prada had mentioned this point.
Angelo nodded: “As Lord Prada said, let us wait, there will always be a solution. However, as for the specific solution, you all know the nature of the prophecy wizards, he didn’t say anything.”
“Wait? Both of my apprentices have been affected, we must come up with a plan.” A wizard angrily stood up.
Angelo sneered: “What does your apprentice’s plight have to do with us? It’s not our Sleepless City that called you here, you came uninvited and should bear the consequences of any problems.”
“So, by your logic, several of my apprentices are trapped within your Sleepless City, and you should be responsible for that, right?” At this moment, a thin, white-haired, white-bearded old man in a white robe and white boots walked into the conference hall.
His appearance immediately caused a whisper among the seated wizards.
Angelo choked and respectfully bowed his head to the newcomer: “Lord Wallace, I didn’t expect you to come too?”
“Of course, I have to come. My apprentices are all talented researchers, and I cannot afford to lose even one. Since you just said that those who came uninvited and encountered problems should bear the responsibility themselves, then those who were originally in Sleepless City and were suddenly plagued by disasters, should you be responsible for them?” The white-robed old man was Wallace, a representative figure of the Savage Grottoes Academic Faction. Although he appeared kind and gentle, he was unparalleled in his ability to be cunning and unscrupulous. He came here seemingly to seek justice for his apprentices, but his real purpose was to take advantage of Sleepless City.
Wallace’s words immediately changed the atmosphere. Angelo, who had been confident, became somewhat timid. After all, the issue raised by Wallace was the core weakness of Sleepless City, and the biggest source of anxiety for Lord Payne in recent days.
There were too many people trapped in Sleepless City this time! Not to mention ordinary people, there were quite a few apprentices and wizards. If they were to involve other people with connections, the number would be countless.
How to handle this matter was the key issue.
Of course, Sleepless City could completely ignore it, but this would also mean that the reputation of Sleepless City in the entire Southern Region of the Wizarding World would be completely reduced to dust.
Angelo couldn’t answer, Payne sighed secretly, got up from his seat, and walked towards Wallace: “This is not urgent. According to our display here, not many people have died inside. They should be trapped, and I estimate that Lord Wallace’s disciples are in the same situation. So, the most important thing now is how to rescue them. As for the explanation, there will definitely be one. After the people come out, we will establish a new regulation, how about that?”
The conversation was once again fruitlessly diverted.
Wallace, of course, knew that his good-for-nothing disciples weren’t dead yet, but was that important?
As they were talking, an apprentice suddenly burst in, ran to Harris’s side, and whispered in his ear.
Harris’s face changed instantly.
He abruptly stood up and left the conference hall with the other members of Twilight’s Edge.
“What’s going on?” The wizards present were at a loss, not knowing what happened to Twilight’s Edge and why they all left.
Even Wallace and Payne stopped their conversation.
It wasn’t until the end of the meeting that a message came from an apprentice of Twilight’s Edge: a wizard who had entered the Dark Domain had an anomaly in their essence blood. This meant that after the Witch Dinan, another wizard had fallen in the Dark Domain.
However, this time it was not a wizard from Sleepless City but from Twilight’s Edge.
“Do you know which unfortunate person it was?” Quete’s expression couldn’t hide his amusement, and he asked with delight.
Previously, Quete had said: “‘You won’t laugh for long’ to Twilight’s Edge,” but he didn’t expect it to come true so quickly! How could he not be happy with this news?
“It seems to be – ‘Little Demon’ Lord Grak.”
“How could it be him?” When they heard that it was Grak who died, everyone was surprised. Grak’s strength was not the strongest, but he was very cunning and good at changing his moves. Moreover, his life was his top priority. How could he be the first to die?
“Has his soul imprint dissipated as well?”
“I’m not sure about that, but judging by the attitude of those from Twilight’s Edge, it seems to be the case indeed.”
Upon receiving this news, even Quete fell silent; if even the soul had dissipated, there would be no possibility of turning things around…
Payne pondered and said: “Can Professor Angelo predict how he died?”
“I don’t know, they’re still with Professor Angelo, maybe we’ll have the results soon.”
Payne thought for a moment and said to Douglas and Quete beside him: “Let’s go and see for ourselves.”
As the three of them arrived at the hut where Angelo was, Harris happened to walk out from inside. Harris’ expression was initially a bit strange and puzzled, but upon seeing them, he immediately snorted coldly and left without looking back.
Entering the house, Angelo was holding a clipboard, recording some data, and asked without looking up: “What’s up?”
“Professor Angelo, is Grak really dead?”
Angelo nodded and then shook his head, his expression appearing similar to Harris’, both strange and puzzled: “Technically, he should be dead. But the Strings told me that he seems to still have a trace of life, so… it’s hard to say.”
What kind of answer was this?
Dead but still having life?
As Payne and the others were puzzled, Angelo suddenly brightened his eyes and stood up abruptly: “Lord Payne, I think the answer should be in the Dark Domain… My Wizard’s Eye tells me that Phantom Master and his disciple have already come out.”
