Chapter 316: World Monitor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Anyway, its not wise to bother the Elder of Books when we have not determined the nature of cause yet. Lady Mirror then comforted Lydia as she said, Having no news itself is at least somethingat least the situation isnt completely out of control.

The important thing is, Lady Mirror turned to Tree Spirit and said, we need to get in touch with Twilight Well and learn everything we can. I dont have enough energy to establish such a connection. Please help us contact the wizards inside Twilight Well, Mister Tree Spirit.

The Tree Spirit didnt look as anxious as the rest of the people. He even smiled in his usual casual manner. Dont worry. Sunders is right inside Twilight Well. Nothing will go too far when hes around.

Mister Sunders is there? Lydia was quite surprised. Then why arent we getting any message from them? The entire Midnight Sovereign fell while Mister Sunders is watching?

Tree Spirit pointed to Goode and said, Of course were getting something. Butler Goode is here to convey Sunders message.

They all looked at Goode, and the butler slowly bowed to Lady Mirror and Lydia. Yes, my master sent a message from Twilight Well not long ago.

What did Mister Sunders say? Lydia quickly questioned, Whats the condition inside Twilight Well?

Goode hesitated.

Before Lydia lost her patience, Tree Spirit said, Nothing of importance. Sunders asked Goode to go look for Angor.

Angor? What for? Hes caring for a kid at a time like this? Lydia rolled her eyes, while Lady Mirror held her chin, wondering if she should really become a female Angor.

I dont know the reason. I didnt find Mister Padt at his house, so Im here requesting help from Mister Tree Spirit, Goode replied politely.

Oh, I know about this one! Tree Spirit raised a hand as if attending a quiz show.

I heard that Angor caused something during the grand auction which killed several of their guards, and Twilight demanded 100,000 magic crystals as compensation, which is due tomorrow, Tree Spirit said as he smiled brightly. So, I think Sunders is going to ask Angor to bring the money in time.

Angor didnt kill any guards. They asked for their own deaths, Lydia said as she recalled the strange experience she went through. And it was Mister Sunders who set up the deadline. I dont think thats the case though. Its just some magic crystals. Mister Sunders doesnt need to remind the kid like a babysitter. Cant Angor remember it on his own?

Tree Spirit spread his hands. Well see when we contact Sunders later. Now, however, we must bring Angor here first.

Lady Mirror stepped up. I manage everything inside the mirror world. Ill do it.

She closed her eyes and began to sense for Angors presence.

To Lady Mirror, she could quickly scan through the entire mirror world in a matter of secondsthis place was only a big sand table in her eyes.

All the wizards appeared as different icons inside this sand table, and she simply needed to look for the right one.

She didnt need any spells for it. This was her talent as the soul who manipulated the mirror world.

As people waited, Lady Mirror started to sweat a little on her forehead.

Where the heck did the boy go? I cant find him!

Lady Mirror frowned. Maybe inside The Tributary? She knew Angor had been visiting The Tributary recently, so she sent her vision in there next.

On a mountain at the southeast part of The Tributary, the giant Iron Fortress was squatting up and down on its iron leg as if it were doing a funny morning exercise.

No matter how it moved, the three-story house on the iron fortress remained stable as if it stood on flat ground.

Iron Granny was enjoying the mountain wind and clouds on the balcony. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked into the sky.

Huh Lady Mirror is monitoring this world again? Weird. She didnt do it in a long time since last time when she peeked into Sunders bathroom and got her door broken down by the gentleman.

With that, Iron Granny closed her eyes again to enjoy the peaceful nature.

Lady Mirror grew irritated. No. No! Angors not inside the mirror world!

Hes not? Goode was surprised this time. A while ago, someone near Angors house told me that he left there just half an hour ago.

Considering Angors walking speed, the portal located inside Tree Spirit Palace was the only place he could reach in such a short time. And of course, Goode didnt see Angor.

Lady Mirror was a bit angry now. Goode was questioning her ability!

Tree Spirit noticed it and quickly comforted her by saying, Your talent only allows you to see something in plain sight. You cant find him if Angor used a spell to conceal himself like how Sunders did last time.

Last time? What did Sunders do? Lydia noticed something interesting from those words.

Forget it. None of your business, Lady Mirror said as she shooed Lydia away. Guess we still need your help, Mister Tree Spirit. Ive lent my energy to Lotus, and I dont have much left.

As she said, Lady Mirrors mist body now appeared pale.

Dont worry about it, Tree Spirit said as he also spread his consciousness farther. Huh? I cant see him

Told you! That d.a.m.n kid knows nothing more than studying Sunders sneaky tricks!

Tree Spirit snickered when he also recalled the incident 20 years ago, when Sunders attacked Lady Mirrors home because of a very bold move of the woman.

Let me see Ill just locate his bone card then.

Every member of Brute Cavern possessed a bone card, which was issued by Tree Spirit himself. The card contained a tiny trace of leaf fluid of the Tree of Eternity, which helped Tree Spirit to find its current location.

Using this approach, Tree Spirit quickly looked through Angors isolation and ascertained the boys whereaboutsin the woods outside Apprentice Town 1.

I got him. I think he has something that reduces his presence interesting. Ill ask him to make me one next time, so people dont always yell at me when I go outside. Im just too awesome.

They do that because youre an indecent pervert! Lady Mirror silently complained.

Tree Spirit blinked out of existence and appeared right beside Angor.

So cautious. Am I so scary to you?

Angor was anxiously asking Toby to get away when his isolation was broken. Before he could finish, he heard Tree Spirits voice reaching his ears.

Mister Tree Spirit?!

The ancestor soul walked to him with a bright smile. Let me take a look. What did you use to escape Lady Mirrors monitoring?

Angor watched Tree Spirits gentle expression and felt his hair stand up.

In the next second, Tree Spirit trapped him in midair before he could react. Then, the mighty soul moved his hands all over Angors body until he sensed an invisible bracelet on Angors wrist.

Ho A bracelet that cannot be seen. Ill take a look. Tree Spirit closed his eyes and sent a surge of gentle energy over the item.

s.p.a.ce ripples A s.p.a.ce bracelet? But its not strong. Only a low-tier s.p.a.ce storage? The stronger mana ripple comes from some runes? No, its a magic array, Tree Spirit said. He then opened his eyes wide. Its a composite effect involving a magic array? Golly. What else are you hiding from us?

Angor kicked his legs helplessly in the air. He felt greatly embarra.s.sed when hanged like this by the Tree Spirit.

One of his kicks somehow landed on Tree Spirits chest, but the elder simply dusted it off. Oh dear I dont know what will become of you if you keep studying from Sunders, Tree Spirit said as he put Angor down. Such an adorable little spirit you are. Im so afraid that Sunders will create a terrible rascal out of you at this rate.

Angor felt really bad after kicking the elder soul like that. But he quickly thought otherwise when he recalled how the man in front of him just picked him up like a kitten and touched him all over.

Angor pouted without speaking or apologizing.

Tree Spirit, on the other hand, didnt mind this at all. To anyone else, Angor was a teenager who had not learned the way of adults. And to him, a great soul who had lived for countless ages, Angor was a mere toddler.

Its just a mid-tier charm, theres no need to get all stingy, Tree Spirit said. He neither took nor damaged Angors bracelet. He was only curious about the reduced presence effect of it. Hey, tell me, which magic array did you use? Neat. How about giving me one later?

Angor panted heavily. Infinite Reticence

What is it?

The magic array is called Infinite Reticence!

Oh, I dont know about magic arrays. You dont need to tell me that.

Then why the h.e.l.l did you ask? Angor thought in rage. Previously, he regarded Tree Spirit as a knowledgeable, carefree, and experienced individual. Now, all his impression of the Tree Spirit was getting worse.

Anyway, Im here for something important, Tree Spirit said as he dragged Angor. Come with me to the Tree Spirit Palace. Sunders have a message for you.

Professor? Hes back?

Not yet. Lotus said something happened in Twilight Well, Tree Spirit said as he flew into the sky with Angor pulled behind him.

Angor quickly asked Toby to return to his pocket. It seemed they needed to wait for another chance to meet their non-human partner.

Lady Lotus is at Tree Spirit Palace too? Angor asked in a small voice when Toby stuck his head from Angors pocket and gave his young master a pleading look.

Angor sighed and shook his head at Toby.

Toby grew a little sad and shrank back inside.

Angor already told Toby that Lydia had gotten the eyeless man. He promised to go ask Lydia about it when he earned enough money, and hopefully, he would be able to buy the eyeless man back. But he had to be strong enough to confront Lydia first. Otherwise, the woman would have no reason to negotiate with him.

Toby was simple-minded, but he wasnt foolish. He already understood Angors words and chose to accept the truth.

Toby held hope that Greya might be alive. One day, Greya would return here as a glorious wizard who found the path of truth, and anyone who dared to humiliate Barbies Restaurant would regret their decision.
