Chapter 669 The Strange Saka <TOC> Chapter 671 At Least It's Not Bad
Translator: SumTLMan
If it were anyone else, Angel wouldn’t be surprised, but it turns out that the last person to hand in the ghost resources was Saka?
Why was it Saka? What was the purpose of Saka doing this? And, not long ago in the Soul Valley, Saka deliberately spoke to him, was it to show his existence as well?
Angel was silent for a moment and looked up at the apprentice on duty, “I think only you should know the news of the ghost resources, right?”
The apprentice on duty didn’t expect Angel to suddenly ask this question, his expression stiffened, his eyes darted around, and he laughed awkwardly, “Because… because I thought… if more people knew, maybe… maybe it would help you find the ghost resources faster, so I…”
“Oh.” Angel responded softly, not showing any emotion about the apprentice’s action of spreading his information. Since he could get Saka’s information from the apprentice, it was normal for others to get his information from the apprentice as well.
“Mr. Pat, I didn’t mess up anything, did I?” The apprentice on duty asked cautiously.
Angel shook his head, “No.”
Then Angel took out two hundred magic crystals and handed them to the other party, “Help me get them out, I want both units of ghost resources.”
After receiving the ghost resources, Angel left the resource allocation hall.
Angel’s expression was strange all the way, he couldn’t figure out the reason for Saka’s actions, could it be a veiled way of showing goodwill to him? When in Soul Valley, Saka came to him and said a bunch of nonsense, was it actually bowing to him?
It didn’t seem to be the case, at least Angel didn’t feel Saka’s intentions at the time.
Recalling the past, Saka actually did some strange things to him, such as when Hookedick’s image was revealed after injecting the Enchantress Bloodline, it was Saka. If he hadn’t known about Hookedick’s image in advance, he probably wouldn’t have found Hookedick so smoothly and punished him in the end.
So, based on Saka’s past positioning, he seemed to often do things that didn’t make sense to him.
Angel couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t dwell on Saka’s personality anymore.
“Take it as a goodwill gesture.” Angel muttered softly, but how long this goodwill gesture could last depends on how long Saka can control himself.
After returning to Phantom Island, Angel planned to go to Sanders’ study first, but was stopped by Butler Goode in the living room:
“Young Master Pat, Lord Rhine is in the study with the Lord, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to go now.”
Silencer, Rhine Mute?
Facing Angel’s doubts, Goode nodded.
“I see.” Angel thought for a moment and decided to go to the guest room on the second floor to wait. Lord Rhine’s arrival shouldn’t take all night, right?
There was no feeling on the first floor, but when they reached the second floor, the entire air was solidified by a silent aura.
Although there was no sign of any energy fluctuations or any silencing barriers, Angel found himself unable to utter a single sound.
He could only lean on the soft couch, feigning sleep while waiting for the end of this long-lasting silence.
The wait was not long before a change occurred.
However, this change was not due to the departure of Lord Rhine Mute, but rather a powerful force as if the heavens and earth were staring down upon them, pouring in.
This feeling was like when Sanders’ Gravity Garden was constructed, and the World Will cast its gaze upon it. Even just a glance made Angel feel immense pressure, as if thousands of pounds were weighing him down.
After hesitating for a moment, Angel left the living room and walked out onto the public balcony on the second-floor corridor.
Upon reaching the balcony, Angel saw countless lightning serpents wriggling in the sky, along with an enormous black cloud so vast that it couldn’t be fully seen at a glance.
The black cloud covered the entire Phantom Island, extending for dozens of miles and concealing more than half of the Eternal Tree.
The black cloud continued to churn, and the more it moved, the more lightning serpents gathered.
As the wind blew and thunder roared, Angel looked at the distant forest with a bewildered expression. All the trees were shaken by the wind, and the phantom beasts in the forest cried out in distress. From time to time, lightning struck, turning the phantom beasts into charred remains.
Moreover, Angel even saw some shadow servants being struck by lightning.
Although the lightning seemed slow, no one or animal could avoid its attack. Under the immense pressure of the black cloud, the legs of every creature seemed to be filled with lead, making it impossible to move.
When Angel was young, he liked to recite poems with Jon. He remembered a poem that said, “Black clouds loom heavy over the city, And the city left on the verge of caving in.” Although the original intention of this line did not match the current situation, if looked at from a purely symbolic perspective, the black clouds rolled in and loomed heavy over the island. Leaving thousands of people and animals of the land to bear witness the power of nature, with no resistance whatsoever. How similar this apocalyptic scene before him was to the poem!
This was power, power mixed with the World Will!
Angel’s eyes widened in surprise. From the range of the black cloud’s coverage, Phantom Island was undoubtedly at the center! But why did the power of the World Will appear here of all places?
Had Sanders built another Wizard Garden? Or did something happen on Phantom Island that attracted the attention of the World Will?
Suddenly, the image of Rhine Mute flashed through Angel’s mind. This powerful omen appeared only after Rhine’s arrival. Could it be that Rhine had done something on Phantom Island?
Or perhaps, had Lord Rhine finally taken that step?
…
As Angel was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the entire Savage Grottoes was also enveloped in an apprehensive aura.
The aura in the Mirror World had not been this tense for a long time, all because of the endless black clouds in the sky! Even when the Gravity Garden was built, the presence of the World Will did not bring such pressure.
Moreover, these black clouds carried a powerful sense of deadly threat.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that Nian Yesevei, who was called ‘Leaf Blossom’, a powerful nature witch, was struck down by lightning when she rose into the air to check the situation on Phantom Island.
If it weren’t for the timely rescue of Tree Spirit, Nian might have suffered severe injuries.
So, even official wizards might be in danger, how could the other wizard apprentices not be afraid and panic? This apocalyptic scene weighed heavily on the hearts of all the apprentices of the Savage Grottoes.
In Tree Spirit Hall, Yesevei’s injuries had healed after being treated by Tree Spirit. She glanced at Tree Spirit, who she never liked, and finally managed to say thank you.
Tree Spirit grinned: “Does it feel terrible to be saved by an old rogue like me?”
Yesevei rolled her eyes at Tree Spirit. She had always wondered why the great Eternal Tree would create such an indecent, clothes-less nature spirit who liked to run around naked. As a nature witch, she felt ashamed.
But Tree Spirit did save her, so she forced herself to say: “Not at all, I am grateful for Tree Spirit’s help.”
Yesevei stood up, walked to the edge of the leaves, and looked at the expanding black cloud in the sky, her eyes filled with a touch of fear: “What is going on?”
Tree Spirit walked beside her, with no scruples, leaned on the tree with both hands on the back of his head: “I know, you can ask me.”
Yesevei turned around and saw Tree Spirit’s thick armpit hair, closing her eyes in disgust: “Please enlighten me, Tree Spirit.”
Seeing that his armpit hair had successfully disgusted Yesevei, Tree Spirit smirked and said in a good mood: “Perhaps it’s because something has touched the World Will.”
“What exactly would it be? Is it a Wizard Garden?”
“Who knows? The central area of Phantom Island has been completely surrounded by the World Will, and I can’t see what’s happening inside. However, it should be fine, after all… Lord Rhine is now on Phantom Island.”
……
“Lord Rhine is on Phantom Island?” A doubtful voice came from the center of the Rogue Flower Society.
The Rogue Flower Society, a floating cloud island near the Eternal Tree, is covered with dark thorns and blood-drawing roses. In the center of Rogue Flower Society, there is a wizard tower bound by a large number of vines and roses, which is the Bloody Witch Flora’s territory in the Savage Grottoes.
“Yes, when I just came here, I happened to see Lord Rhine enter Phantom Island. I glanced over and saw him enter Sanders’ study. Then I was discovered by Sanders, and my eyes were almost blinded by his illusion spell.” The woman in a rose dress spoke, sitting on an exquisite stone bed with a small table in the middle, filled with fragrant tea.
On the other end of the stone bed, Flora, wrapped in a robe, looked at the sky outside the wizard tower while hugging her knees.
“What is Lord Rhine doing with Mentor? And what is this powerful oppression?” Flora whispered to herself.
“I don’t know, but I guess it should be caused by Lord Rhine. Maybe he’s about to take that step?” said the woman in the rose dress.
“According to the information I’ve seen before, stepping out towards legend is not so easy.” The young man sitting at the other desk, recording something, said, “I think if Lord Rhine really wants to take that step, he would not choose the Mirror World. The path of legend, one step toward destruction, under the soul erasure from the World Will, the Mirror World will soon become chaotic nothingness.”
“So, if Lord Rhine has some feelings for the Savage Grottoes, he shouldn’t step into legend at this time and place.” The young man gently tapped with a red pen and easily drew a period on the white paper, then walked to Flora and respectfully bowed.
“Mentor, I have completed the task you assigned.”
Flora didn’t take it immediately, but looked at the young man indifferently: “Spivey, remember your identity. I took you in only for the sake of Mentor.”
The young man smiled awkwardly. He was Spivey, who had been saved by Sanders in Sleepless City and used to be “Little Demon” Grak.
Flora: “Go down, don’t stay here and annoy me.”
Spivey was about to leave, but the woman in the rose dress called out: “Wait.”
Flora frowned: “Liana, what’s the matter?”
Liana showed a playful smile: “Flora, your disciple is quite interesting. He seems to know a lot more than ordinary people, but now he seems to be just a first-level apprentice.”
Flora was silent, not explaining Spivey’s identity to Liana. Even though they were close friends, some reservations were still needed.
Liana didn’t care and looked at Spivey, who showed no fear, and asked with a smile: “You just said that this is not the sign of stepping into legend, and you seemed to know a lot. So why don’t you tell us, if it’s not the omen of legend, what exactly is the black cloud occupying most of the Mirror World for?”
Spivey shrugged, his eyes rolling: “I think it might be caused by Angel.”
