Angel returned to the dragonfly's nest, cleaned up a temporary residence, and planned to make do with the night.
Angel did not sleep that night. I lit the fire in the stove in the center of the house, and let the flames ignite a little spark. Accompanied by the dim yellow fire, I quietly thought about the way forward.
Toby could settle down anywhere. He took out the small wooden bed quilt from Snowy Feather, put on pajamas embroidered with plush edges, gave Angel a good night kiss, and obediently lay down on the wooden bed and slept peacefully. Xi.
Toby's usual living habits dispelled Angel's apprehension when he first arrived in a strange place.
At least he's not alone.
Angel smirked at the corner of his mouth, put down the thoughts that were stirring up and down in his mind, and stretched out to the window. Unsurprisingly, a large number of colorful dragonflies parked outside the window, flashing neon lights on their bodies, so dreamy and intoxicating.
When he first arrived, he didn't have much sleepiness, so he simply took out the holographic tablet and played "Mystery of the Nightmare Realm".
Life has to go on, as a wizard with a great future, how can he give up seeking knowledge because of a little setback.
Time passes slowly in learning.
When dawn came, Angel closed the tablet and began to think about today's itinerary.
He didn't rest all night yesterday. Although it was mostly because of the excitement of the rest of his life, there was actually another reason, and it was also the main reason why he stayed up late—
But he said that the only difference between day and night in this dead and desolate village blocked by fog was 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. According to a rough estimate, the duration of the day is about 14 hours, and the duration of the night is about 9 hours. Such a ratio of day and night is actually in line with the average annual level of a harvest month.
Moreover, the division point of day and night, the time of the holographic tablet is basically correct.
According to this inference, he is currently located in the wizarding world, and the possibility that he is still in the southern region is extremely high.
Although this information was conjectured by him and has not been measured, it is still good news. Therefore, in the next day, Angel's joy did not retreat.
Another day is over.
Although Angel has not found a way to leave, he is not so impatient. Even if he can't find a way to leave, it's okay to stay in the deserted village for a while.
Moreover, according to what he knows about Sanders, this accident should belong to the scope of Sanders' calf protection, right? When Greya disappeared, Felicia went to the Church of the Crown Star to seek the help of the Prophecy Wizard. Angel felt that he was "in a business accident" and saved so many people. Sanders should go to the prophetic wizard to locate his position and come to him, right
Angel also didn't know where the self-confidence of the mystery came from.
But Angel's confidence is not wrong, at least half right. Just when he left the plane, Sanders, who was far away in the mirror world, got the news.
Sanders did go to the Prophecy Wizard, but he did not go to the Glory Realm to find the Church of the Crown Star. This is not to say that Sanders doesn't pay attention to Angel, it is simply that Angel's level is too low to need such a high-end prophetic wizard.
Besides, Sanders didn't go to Angel either. He only asked the prophetic wizard a question: "Is Angel still alive?"
The prophecy wizard has never noticed Angel's trace, and Sanders has been blackened for half a month. It was not until Angel left the plane that the wizard of prophecy sensed the trajectory of his fate and said to Sanders: "He is still alive, and he may have been a blessing in disguise. At this time, there is no danger."
Because of Sanders' black face, the prophecy wizard did not play as aggressively as before, and directly came to the conclusion of closing the coffin.
Sanders' face 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 he knows that he is not dead, then the rest is his own way."
Leaving this sentence, 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 self-confidence was only half right. Sanders did find the prophetic wizard, but he actually only inquired about his life and death status. He still had to rely on himself if he wanted to leave.
Of course, Angel did not put all his hopes on Sanders. The reason why he was not in a hurry to leave the deserted village was because he really needed time to settle.
He was promoted to a second-level apprentice by chance, but he didn't have the background that a second-level apprentice should have. At least, he has to learn all the first-level tricks that he should learn. Moreover, he also needs to start researching "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm".
These plans take time to accumulate, so Angel does not exclude staying in the deserted village.
In the following days, Angel began to study alone.
He put "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm" in the position to study, and he studied it almost day and night. He now has more understanding of the Nightmare Realm.
There is a record about the nightmare realm, which makes him feel more at ease in the deserted village:
"Namma realm can also improve fusion, but the premise is that there is enough nightmare atmosphere."
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. Nightmare stones, Angel only has a few pieces. He intends to use them on the edge of a knife, for example, when dealing with powerful enemies.
Therefore, if he wants to increase the concentration of the nightmare atmosphere in the nightmare realm, staying in the barren village is the best choice. Because of the thick fog here, it contains the breath of the Nightmare Realm.
The more phantom aura in the nightmare realm, the more powerful the nightmare technique released, and it can also feed the monsters in the nightmare world by relying on the phantom aura. According to the records of "Mystery of the Nightmare Realm", as long as the nightmare atmosphere is strong, the monsters in the nightmare world can even be domesticated and used for their own use.
Angel simply skipped this step. The colorful dragonflies, parasites, musical teacups, and building block soldiers who were left in his nightmare realm were actually very obedient. Ingres let them go east, they will never go west.
The only regret is that their combat power is very low.
He also wanted to take the colorful dragonflies into the nightmare realm in the past to increase his personal combat power, but his extravagant nightmare realm was still in its infancy. Let the colorful dragonfly slowly starve to death, so I can only give up this idea.
Two months later, at the beginning of the first day of the cold month, Angel stopped studying. The nightmare techniques that he can use now are basically thoroughly understood, and the nightmarish aura in the extravagant nightmare realm has also reached a saturation state.
Although the deserted village is like a peach garden, there is not much danger. But the food here is scarce, and there are no wild animals to hunt. Recently, he has been eating magic bread, which makes his mouth smell of stinky socks.
So, under such circumstances, he was ready to leave the deserted village.
…
In the past two months, he has explored every household in the deserted village, but he has not found anything at all. Where there is a little written record, it is basically vague. He had spent a lot of time on dating, and finally came to the conclusion that this barren village had been abandoned for at least a thousand years.
Thousands of years have passed in a hurry, and even if the predecessors wanted to leave any useful text information, they were basically turned into dust.
Under such circumstances, Angel was worried: "How should he leave?"
Angel left the village again and began to find a way out in the nearby forest, looking for an entrance such as a cave. Most of the trees in the forest have withered, and the ground is full of broken branches. Angel opened his mental tentacles to search for it.
But after two full circles, there was still no gain.
Returning to the village, Angel decided to change his mind. From the perspective of the locals, how would they leave here
It can be seen from some exquisite villas in the deserted village that the people who once lived here should have no worries about food and clothing, so there must be a way to obtain materials from the outside world.
Angel simulated himself as a villager, and did nothing but live as an ordinary person.
After three consecutive days of experience, Angel came to a place—
This is the lake behind the deserted village.
For the past three days, as an "ordinary villager", he needs water to get up early in the morning to wash, to eat, and to bathe at night. If he didn't use the "water delivery technique", the most diligent place he would come to during the day would be this lake.
The lake was dark and had a great stench of decay. Angel originally wanted to fish from the lake to feed his stomach. But just the black, greasy, smelly substance floating on the surface of the lake made him lose.
Generally speaking, if there is a water source, you can find a way to leave through the underground river.
But because this lake is greasy and smelly and does not have the characteristics of a living lake, Angel decided that it was a dead lake, either artificially created or rainwater accumulated.
It is definitely impossible for the rain to accumulate, because Angel let Toby fly in the air some time ago. Above his head is a hard stone wall with light-absorbing plants, so it is impossible to rain.
This is actually a miniature version of the inner world similar to the Dark Kingdom.
Angel didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks back, he always feels that something was wrong.
Since it can't be a lake formed by the accumulation of rainwater, it should be an artificial lake? … Since it is an artificial lake, where does the water in the lake come from
Angel traveled all over the land, but no other water source was found, and no one was digging a well. 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 living water be stagnant water? If the water is not alive, it will also deteriorate, and it is impossible for the villagers to live on the deteriorated water.
If there is really no other source of water, 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. If he wanted to know the real reason, he would go down and explore.
Slightly lowered his hat, the purification force field was activated all the way, and Angel was surrounded by a pale white mask, leaping into the pitch-black, rancid lake...
