Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2045: Chapter 2046: Means of Communication

After a long silence, Lord Reine broke it: ”I’ll go in for a while.”

Everyone understood that Reine’s idea of ”going in” wasn’t just staying in the outer passage of the ruins, but truly entering the heart of the ruins.

The first to react was the Tree Spirit, his brow furrowed: ”We still don’t fully understand the conditions inside the ruins. Going in now is not a good time.”

Reine: ”I understand your concerns. However, previously we could proceed slowly and carefully, but now that Angel has fallen into the ruins, we need to make timely adjustments.”

”No matter what, the matters of the ruins must be resolved eventually, and we have to enter them at some point. If we go in now, we might still find Angel.”

”That might be so, but we still need to be more cautious. Even if you really want to enter, we must be fully prepared.” The Tree Spirit also understood the importance of Angel, but knowing that there might be beings within the ruins as powerful or even more powerful than Reine, he hoped Reine could be a bit more cautious.

Reine shook his head: ”No need to prepare, I have ’it’ with me. The worst-case scenario is that I return to the Wizard’s Tower severely injured. I plan to go in immediately; it’s been three hours since Angel disappeared, and the sooner we go in, the better.”

The outer passage was already perilous, and Reine was certain that dangers inside the ruins would be even greater. Angel within the ruins could face a mortal threat at any moment. The sooner they entered, the greater Angel’s chances of survival.

Everyone was somewhat silent. They actually wanted to counter Reine’s rash decision, but from a rational perspective, it indeed seemed to be the most acceptable strategy.

As Reine himself mentioned, he had that thing with him. Even if faced with a powerful threat, he could still return alive.

But was it really worth risking their base strength for such a risk? It’s not that they didn’t understand Angel’s value, it’s just that Angel is currently like a cat in a prank box, and no one knew what might happen to that cat inside.

Prank boxes usually come with more surprises than joys. The cat inside is in great danger, and the possibility of its death is extremely high. Even if it had immense value, saving it would be pointless if it’s already dead.

Moreover, if Reine were seriously injured because of this, there could be potential hazards within the organization.

While everyone exchanged glances, Ironclad Granny picked up the brewed hot tea and took a gentle sip: ”Since you’ve decided to go in, then go in. If something really goes wrong, I’ll come out from the Source of Flow.”

Ironclad Granny always practiced with a hermit-like attitude at the Source of Flow. Her current statement, however, was to assure the other worried wizards that if there were an issue, she would step up.

Ironclad Granny’s strength has always been a mystery, but her words signify that she has absolute confidence in maintaining internal balance.

Upon hearing Ironclad Granny’s statement, the previous worries of the group slightly diminished, though their thoughts remained somewhat chaotic.

On the other side, Reine stood up and nodded to Ironclad Granny, clearly not intending to say much more, but to act directly.

At this moment, Sanders, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke: ”Lord Reine can delay entering the ruins. I contacted Angel, and he is... not in danger right now.”

Previously, the atmosphere at the Observation Pavilion was heavy and oppressive with agitated unrest. But Sanders’ words hit like a thunderbolt on a clear day, instantly dispersing all the tense atmosphere.

Everyone’s expressions were filled with disbelief, and their thoughts shifted unexpectedly.

”You can contact Angel? How’s that possible?!” Before Reine could ask, Wallace couldn’t wait to inquire: ”Didn’t Angel fall into the ruins? How can you contact him? Or is it that you’ve actually hidden Angel in the Witchcraft Garden and the one that fell into the ruins is a puppet?”

Wallace’s imagination took off, earning him a sidelong glance from Sanders. Wallace had earlier remarked that Sanders should have hidden Angel in the Gravity Garden to avoid such an incident.

Wallace genuinely just wanted to mock Sanders. If it were him, he wouldn’t have put Angel in the Witchcraft Garden either, as Angel was primarily a wizard with free will, not a baby in a cradle.

”Angel is indeed trapped in the ruins now, but I have a way to contact him.” After a moment of contemplation, Sanders decided to reveal it.

”The ruins’ main body resides in multiple layers of the void attached to the Wizards’ Realm. By normal means, contacting him should be impossible. How did you manage to reach Angel?” Ironclad Granny couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Before Sanders could answer, the Tree Spirit seemed to think of something: ”Could it be what Angel mentioned before, his research on information exchange?”

Not long ago, Angel was taken away by Babaya and others through the Tree Spirit’s hands, so the Tree Spirit immediately recalled the research content Angel had mentioned at that time.

Sanders nodded: ”Yes, the detailed research report might require Angel to explain it to you. But indeed, through this new type of information exchange method, I managed to have a dialogue with Angel.”

”I saw you sleeping all the time earlier. Was it through sleep that you contacted him?” Nis asked curiously. Since Sanders returned to the Observation Pavilion, he had been resting with his eyes closed, making no moves to communicate. So Nis immediately realized that his earlier teasing of Sanders’ lack of concern and even going to sleep might be because he needed sleep to communicate with Angel.

Sanders ignored Nis’ inquiry and focused on Reine.

Reine, at this moment, sat back down. He actually agreed with Nis’ speculation, as both Sanders and Angel were known to be practicing dream-related tricks, something he was aware of.

However, Reine didn’t question it at this moment, though he was curious about the so-called new communication method possibly related to dreams. But he was more concerned about Angel’s current situation: ”Since you’ve contacted Angel, how is he now? Is there any danger around him?”

”Real-time communication with Angel isn’t available at the moment. However, I did receive some location information from him not long ago.”

”He is currently in an area full of various mushrooms, and there isn’t any danger nearby for now.”

”Mushroom area?” Reine wasn’t clear on what this mushroom area was and had to continue asking: ”Then whose hands took Angel away? Did they attack Angel?”

”According to Angel, once he entered the mushroom area, the owner of those hands left without saying anything.”

”Which means Angel is now trapped in the mushroom forest.”

”It’s not exactly a complete trap; he is currently seeking a way out...”
