Chapter 316: World Monitor

“Anyway, it’s 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 something—at least the situation isn’t 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 don’t have enough energy to establish such a connection. Please help us contact the wizards inside Twilight Well, Mister Tree Spirit.”
The Tree Spirit didn’t look as anxious as the rest of the people. He even smiled in his usual casual manner. “Don’t worry. Sunders is right inside Twilight Well. Nothing will go too far when he’s around.”
“Mister Sunders is there?” Lydia was quite surprised. “Then why aren’t 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 we’re 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, “What’s 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? He’s 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 don’t know the reason. I didn’t find Mister Padt at his house, so I’m 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 didn’t 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 don’t think that’s the case though. It’s just some magic crystals. Mister Sunders doesn’t need to remind the kid like a babysitter. Can’t Angor remember it on his own?”
Tree Spirit spread his hands. “We’ll 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. I’ll do it.”
She closed her eyes and began to sense for Angor’s presence.
To Lady Mirror, she could quickly scan through the entire mirror world in a matter of seconds—this 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 didn’t 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 can’t 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 didn’t 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! Angor’s not inside the mirror world!”
“He’s not?” Goode was surprised this time. “A while ago, someone near Angor’s house told me that he left there just half an hour ago.”
Considering Angor’s 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 didn’t 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 can’t 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. I’ve lent my energy to Lotus, and I don’t have much left.”
As she said, Lady Mirror’s mist body now appeared pale.
“Don’t worry about it,” Tree Spirit said as he also spread his consciousness farther. “Huh? I can’t see him…”
“Told you! That damn 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 Mirror’s home because of a very bold move of the woman.
“Let me see… I’ll 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 Angor’s “isolation” and ascertained the boy’s whereabouts—in the woods outside Apprentice Town 1.
“I got him. I think he has something that reduces his presence… interesting. I’ll ask him to make me one next time, so people don’t always yell at me when I go outside. I’m just too awesome.”
“They do that because you’re 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 Spirit’s 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 Mirror’s monitoring?”
Angor watched Tree Spirit’s 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 Angor’s body until he sensed an invisible bracelet on Angor’s wrist.
“Ho… A bracelet that cannot be seen. I’ll take a look.” Tree Spirit closed his eyes and sent a surge of gentle energy over the item.
“Space ripples… A space bracelet? But it’s not strong. Only a low-tier space storage? The stronger mana ripple comes from some… runes? No, it’s a magic array,” Tree Spirit said. He then opened his eyes wide. “It’s 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 embarrassed when hanged like this by the Tree Spirit.
One of his kicks somehow landed on Tree Spirit’s chest, but the elder simply dusted it off. “Oh dear… I don’t 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. I’m 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, didn’t 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.
“It’s just a mid-tier charm, there’s no need to get all stingy,” Tree Spirit said. He neither took nor damaged Angor’s 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 don’t know about magic arrays. You don’t need to tell me that.”
“Then why the hell 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, I’m 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? He’s 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 Angor’s 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 wasn’t foolish. He already understood Angor’s 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 Barbie’s Restaurant would regret their decision.
