Angel returned to the area near the dragonfly's nest, cleaned up a temporary residence, and planned to spend the night there.
Angel didn't sleep that night. He lit the fire in the stove in the center of the room, let the flames burn with sparks, and quietly thought about the way forward with the dim firelight.
Toby could settle down anywhere. He took out the flower quilt from the Snowy Feather, put on his pajamas embroidered with plush edges, gave Angel a good night kiss, and then lay down on the wooden bed obediently, sleeping peacefully.
Xi.
Toby's normal living habits dispelled Angel's anxiety when he first arrived in a strange place.
At least, he's not alone yet.
Angel smiled with a smile on his lips, put down the endless thoughts that were swirling in his mind, and stretched himself to the window. Not surprisingly, there were large colorful dragonflies parked outside the window, their bodies shimmering with neon lights, and it was so dreamy.
Intoxicating.
When he first arrived, he didn't feel much sleepy, so he simply took out his holographic tablet and read "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm".
Life must go on. As a wizard with a great future, how can he give up his pursuit of knowledge just because of a little setback?
Time passes slowly while studying.
When dawn came, Angel closed the tablet and began to think about today's schedule.
He didn't rest all night last night. Although it was mostly because the excitement of the rest of his life had not passed, there was actually another reason, which was also the main reason why he stayed up late——
However, he said that in this deserted and deserted village blocked by fog, the only difference between day and night is probably the color of the fog. During the day, the fog appears gray-white, and at night, the fog appears blue-black.
Through the color of the fog, he compared the time difference between day and night, and roughly calculated that the day lasted about 14 hours, and the night lasted about 9 hours. This ratio of day and night is actually in line with the average annual level of the harvest month.
Moreover, the dividing point between day and night and the time on the holographic tablet are basically correct.
Based on this speculation, it is extremely likely that he is currently in the Wizarding World and is still in the Southern Region.
Although this information was speculated by him and has not been tested yet, it can be considered good news. Therefore, Angel's joy did not fade throughout the next day.
Another day is over.
Although Angel hasn't found a way to leave yet, he is not so impatient anymore. Even if he still can't find a way to leave, there is no harm in staying in the deserted village for a while.
Moreover, according to his understanding of Sanders, his accident this time should fall into the category of Sanders protecting calves, right? When Greya disappeared, Felicia went to the Crown Star Church to seek help from the prophetic wizard. Ange
I feel that after all, I was "in trouble on the job" and saved so many people. Sanders should go to the prophetic wizard to locate his location and come to him, right?
Angel didn't know where he got this mysterious confidence.
However, Angel's confidence was not wrong, at least half of it. Just when he left from the plane, Sanders, who was far away in the mirror world, got the news.
Sanders did go to the prophetic wizard, but he did not go to the Radiant Realm specifically to find the Crown Star Church. This is not to say that Sanders does not value Angel. It is simply that Angel’s level is too low and there is no need for such a high-end one.
The prophetic wizard.
Furthermore, Sanders did not go to find Angel. He only asked the prophetic wizard one question: "Is Angel still alive?"
The prophetic wizard has not noticed any trace of Angel, and Sanders has been dark-faced for more than half a month. It was not until Angel left from the plane that the prophetic wizard sensed the trajectory of fate, and said to Sanders:
"He's still alive, and it may be a blessing in disguise that he's out of danger at this point."
Because of Sanders's black face, the prophecy wizard did not act as aggressively as before and directly came to the final conclusion.
Sanders' expression softened when he heard the news that Angel was still alive.
When the prophetic wizard asked "whether to locate Angel's location," Sanders refused: "As long as we know that he is not dead, the rest is his own path."
After leaving these words, Sanders left. He firmly believed that Angel needed this training and was unwilling to let him become the canary in the ivory tower.
Therefore, Angel's mysterious confidence was only half correct. Sanders did find a prophetic wizard, but in fact he only inquired about his life and death status. He still had to rely on himself if he wanted to leave.
Of course Angel does not place all his hopes on Sanders. The reason why he is not in a hurry to leave the deserted village is because he really needs time to settle now.
By chance, he was promoted to a second-level apprentice, but he did not have the background that a second-level apprentice should have. At least, he had to learn all the first-level magic that he should learn. Moreover, he also needed to start studying "The Mystery of the Nightmare".
These plans take time to accumulate, so Angel is not opposed to staying in the deserted village.
In the days that followed, Angel began to study alone.
He put "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm" on the priority list and studied it almost day and night. He now has a better understanding of the Nightmare Realm.
There is a record about the nightmare realm, which made him feel more at ease staying in the deserted village:
"The fusion can also be improved in the nightmare realm, but the prerequisite is that there is enough nightmare aura."
The so-called nightmare breath is actually the breath contained in the "nightmare stone" mentioned by Sanders, or in other words, the breath of the nightmare world. Angel only has a few nightmare stones, and he plans to use them on knife edges, such as
When dealing with powerful enemies.
Therefore, if he wanted to increase the concentration of the nightmare aura in the nightmare realm, staying in the deserted village was the best choice. Because the thick fog here contained the aura of the nightmare realm.
The more nightmare aura there is in the nightmare realm, the more powerful the nightmare spells released, and the nightmare realm monsters can also be fed by the nightmare aura. According to the records in "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm", as long as the nightmare aura is strong, the nightmare realm will become more powerful.
World monsters can even be tamed and used for one's own purposes.
Angel skipped this step directly. The colorful dragonflies, parasites, musical teacups and brick soldiers left in his nightmare were actually very obedient. Angel told them to go east, but they would never go there.
West.
The only regret is that their combat power is very low.
He also wanted to collect colorful dragonflies into the nightmare realm to increase his personal combat power, but his extremely luxurious nightmare realm was still in its infancy, and the nightmare aura was not enough to support this group of "half-step wizard" level monsters. If he took it by force, it would only
Let the colorful dragonflies slowly starve to death, so I can only give up this idea.
Two months later, on the first day of the cold month, Angel stopped learning. He had basically mastered the nightmare techniques that he could use now, and the nightmare aura in the extremely luxurious nightmare realm had also reached saturation.
Although the deserted village was like a paradise without many dangers, there was a lack of food here and there were no wild beasts to hunt in the wild. He had been eating magic bread recently, which made his mouth smell like stinky socks.
So, under such circumstances, he was ready to leave the deserted village.
…
In the past two months, he has visited every household in the deserted village, but he has gained absolutely nothing. Where there are some written records, they are basically vague. He once spent a lot of time on dating, and finally came to the conclusion:
This deserted village has been abandoned for at least a thousand years.
Thousands of years have passed by in a hurry, and even if the predecessors wanted to leave any useful written information, they would basically turn into dust.
Under such circumstances, Angel was worried: "How should he leave?"
Angel left the village again and began to look for a way out in the nearby forest, trying to find an entrance such as a cave. Most of the trees in the forest were withered, and the ground was full of broken branches. Angel opened his spiritual tentacles.
, perform a sweeping search.
But after going around twice, there was still no gain.
Returning to the village, Angel decided to change his thinking. From the perspective of the locals, how would they leave here?
It can be seen from some exquisite villas in deserted villages that the people who once lived here should have no worries about food and clothing, so there must be ways to obtain supplies from the outside world.
Angel simulated himself as a villager and did nothing else. He just lived as an ordinary person.
After experiencing it for three consecutive days, Angel came to a place——
This is the lake behind the deserted village.
In the past three days, as an "ordinary villager", he needed water to get up early in the morning to wash, to eat, and to take a bath at night. If he didn't use the "water delivery technique", this would be the place where he would be most diligent during the day.
Pianhu.
The lake was black and had a rotten smell. Angel originally wanted to fish from the lake to feed himself, but the smell of black and greasy substances floating on the lake made him retreat.
Generally speaking, if there is a water source, you can find a way to leave through underground rivers.
But because the lake was greasy and smelly and did not have the characteristics of a living lake, Angel initially determined that it was a dead lake, either artificially created or due to accumulation of rainwater.
It is definitely impossible for rainwater to accumulate, because Angel had asked Toby to fly in the air some time ago. There was a hard stone wall above his head and there were light-absorbing plants growing there, so it was impossible for it to rain.
This is actually a miniature version of the inner earth world similar to the Kingdom of Darkness.
Angel didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he always feels that something is wrong.
Since this cannot be a lake formed by accumulated rainwater, then it should be an artificial lake?...Since it is an artificial lake, where does the water in the lake come from?
Angel traveled throughout the territory and found no other water sources, and no one dug wells. Therefore, this lake must be the only water source for the villagers.
Then comes the paradox.
How can a lake that can be used for daily domestic water be stagnant water? If the water is not alive, it will also deteriorate. It is impossible for villagers to live with deteriorated water.
If there really is no other water source, then there is only one possibility: this lake was once living water!
Angel looked at this lake that was estimated to have been dead for nearly a thousand years, and if he wanted to know the real reason, he just went down to investigate.
Lowering his hat slightly and turning on the purification force field, Angel was surrounded by a pale white mask and jumped into the dark and putrid lake...
