Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 1974: Chapter 1975: Private Conversation

”The Kingdom of Abundance and the Gumman Kingdom will suffer the erosion from the changes in the Eternal Night Country? West Dimosha needs to migrate?!” The Tree Spirit’s voice was several degrees higher than usual, full of disbelief.

On the other side of the light screen, Maya nodded. As soon as the meeting ended today, she immediately went to the signal tower and recounted everything that happened at the meeting.

The Tree Spirit was still somewhat dazed.

West Dimosha is not an ordinary witcher organization; its foundation is much deeper than that of Sleepless City. If even West Dimosha is forced to relocate, those Nightmare Realm creatures are simply too terrifying. This made the Tree Spirit worry about the future of the Barbarian Cave.

Although Lapuye hadn’t seen how much the Barbarian Cave was affected by Nightmare Realm creatures, no one could clearly say that the Barbarian Cave would remain unaffected.

The Tree Spirit anxiously sighed repeatedly, while Rhein took a more open view: ”The seemingly predestined future is actually still a stack of scripts that can be embellished. So, there’s still a chance to alter the progress of the script.”

Rhein wanted to convey the idea that the future is not predestined; there’s a possibility for change.

However, the Tree Spirit sighed, ”Instead of altering the script, I’d rather tear this script into fragments.”

The Tree Spirit looked at Sanders and then slowly moved to Angel: ”Lapuye mentioned something at the meeting that I actually agree with: if we can find a way to destroy the dome, we might be able to tear up the future script fundamentally. Both of you have been inside the initial dome—Sleepless City. In your opinion, is there a way to destroy the dome?”

”It’s very difficult.” Sanders replied without hesitation.

Angel could have answered as well, and his answer would be the same as Sanders’. Having been inside Sleepless City, he knew all too well that under the dome of Sleepless City, it had already been forcibly transformed into an interlayer space. To completely destroy the dome, one must destroy the interlayer space within.

The simplest ways to make the interlayer space disappear are twofold: one is to bear the interlayer space, turning it into the Nightmare Realm; the other is to destroy the semi-passages in the interlayer space.

But both of these methods are nearly impossible. Aside from the fact that this interlayer space is too large and tainted with too much reality, once borne, no one could foresee the consequences; as for destroying the semi-passages, it’s also impossible. Typically, semi-passages are heavily guarded, making destruction a herculean task.

That’s why Sanders unhesitatingly gave the answer ”very difficult.”

Although Sanders didn’t explain the details, the Tree Spirit could tell Sanders wasn’t lying. He thought for a moment and then asked, ”It’s just very difficult. There’s still a way, right?”

”Destroying the dome has a low possibility. The only method might be to tackle the puppeteers behind the dome.”

In other words, those Nightmare Realm creatures with positions.

The class hierarchy of Nightmare Realm creatures is very pronounced; only by toppling the higher class can the issue be fundamentally resolved.

This was what Sanders wanted to convey. He had an additional thought: perhaps Angel could slow the expansion of the Nightmare Realm creatures?

The Nightmare Realm creature named Shava certainly wasn’t of a low class. At least Sanders hadn’t seen anyone higher than Shava, except for that Queen with a face full of stitches.

However, while Angel could potentially slow their expansion, commanding them to stop expanding entirely would be very difficult.

Because although Angel’s class is high, there are still some Nightmare Realm creatures not influenced by Angel’s commands. For instance, Yorkshire from Sleepless City once opposed Angel, even threatened him.

What about beings higher than Yorkshire?

So, although Angel holds a high class in the Nightmare Realm, he hasn’t reached a level where he can cover the sky with one hand. Relying solely on him to resolve the dome problem is somewhat unrealistic.

In the tense atmosphere, Rhein remarked, ”Currently, besides sending some parasites and live lines deep into the Pamiji Plateau, these terrifying creatures aren’t infiltrating further—they’re all gathered in that ruin. I think understanding the secret of the ruin might greatly help our present situation.”

After Rhein spoke, he looked at Sanders, the implication clear.

Sanders: ”Alright, we’ll check it out later.”

Rhein nodded and said nothing further, seemingly calmly brushing over the topic that greatly worried West Dimosha. He turned back to the light screen: ”Witch Maya, thanks for your trouble today.”

Maya: ”It’s what I should do.”

Once her voice dropped, it was apparent both sides were ready to conclude their conversation. Angel promptly stopped Maya from disconnecting: ”Wait a minute.”

Under Maya’s puzzled gaze, Angel pointed to Dororo behind her: ”I have something to discuss with Dororo later, just between us.”

Maya glanced at Dororo, then at Angel’s side of the light screen. Although she was somewhat doubtful, she didn’t probe further: ”Alright.”

With those words, Maya nodded towards Dororo and left the signal tower, leaving only Dororo on the other side of the light screen.

Meanwhile, Rhein also noticed Angel’s intention to have a private chat with Dororo, leaving with the Tree Spirit and Sanders.

Before leaving, Sanders patted Angel’s shoulder: ”I’ll check that ruin first. Later, have the Tree Spirit bring you over.”

Angel nodded in agreement. He also wanted to know what secrets lay within the ruin guarded by Rhein.

Once everyone had left, the study returned to its empty state.

Angel looked at Dororo on the other side of the light screen: ”Alright, you can speak now, there’s no one else around.”

Angel didn’t specify what Dororo should say, but Dororo seemed to have anticipated it, speaking without hesitation: ”Sir, during the Starlit Day, I saw a prophecy that baffled me greatly...”

...

Angel pushed open the door to the ruin, crossed the void, and stood once again on the land of the Pamiji Plateau.

As soon as Angel exited, the large tree obscured by illusion at the entrance emitted a faint green glow, symbolizing vitality. As the glow spread, the Tree Spirit emerged from the tree.

”Finished chatting with Dororo?” The Tree Spirit asked and, upon receiving an affirmative answer, said, ”Then let’s go.”

The Tree Spirit did not inquire what Angel and Dororo specifically discussed. Angel’s choice to speak with Dororo alone had already made his stance clear.

The Tree Spirit slowly floated into mid-air: ”The ruin guarded by Rhein isn’t far from here. However, unlike other ruins that are in open spaces, its location is a bit hidden. Since this is your first time, I’ll lead the way.”
