The unexpected appearance of the Doom Ranger caused a major change in the entire Watch Fortress.
Even after Samantha rushed back to the fortress, she immediately turned around and headed to the Hanging Falls to convey the matter here to Sky Island.
At the same time, Snefer also dispatched scouts to track the route of the Doom Rider's departure, in order to avoid other wizards passing this route.
In the end, Samantha's guess was correct. The Doom Ranger took the route from the Howling Plain to the Silent Coast. However, when it reached the Silent Coast, it dived into the Silent Dead Sea and its whereabouts were unknown.
Angel stood on the high platform on the fourth floor of Sanders' room and looked out.
The atmosphere of the entire Watch Fortress has changed from the previous prosperity to a bit of depression. Even the gleaming steel buildings before seemed to be a little bit gray.
All these changes were brought about by the Doom Patrol.
"What kind of existence is the Doom Patrol?" Angel murmured curiously.
Angel was still researching, and only after hearing some outside rumors went to the balcony to see the situation. He just muttered to himself, but he didn't expect someone to really answer him.
"It is a monster that everyone can't avoid, and its doom can even be repelled by the abyss lord."
The familiar voice made Angor turn his head suddenly.
But I saw Sanders' figure suddenly appear behind him, turning from a blurred image to a real body.
"Teacher, are you back?" Angel said respectfully.
Sanders stepped onto the high platform, his leather boots left a few shallow footprints on the snow, then stopped by Angel's side, raised his eyebrows and said, "I've heard Kante say, you've been doing it again these two days. What's wrong?"
"No." Angel blinked, looking innocent.
Sanders didn't ask, he had already learned the specific situation from Kanter, about the female worm. For Kanter, this incident irritated him, but as far as Sanders was concerned, it was nothing compared to what Angel had said before.
It was just a relatively good opportunity.
"I remember that Nice once broke through the research institute site of 'Heart of the Swarm'. After returning to the savage cave, I will help you and ask." Sanders is also more than happy to see that Angel can cultivate deformed soft worms. After all, Transfiguration is something wizards must learn.
Angel thanked him happily. At present, he is just following Kanter's suggestion. If there are more detailed records, the chance of cultivating a deformed soft bug will also increase.
"Don't thank you too early. Nice doesn't necessarily know anything." Sandston paused, then changed the conversation: "Have you completed the task that I gave you when I left?"
An embarrassed look flashed on Angel's face. He has been tinkering with the invasion of the weaver ants for the past two days, and he has not made an alchemy fantasy at all.
"I originally said that I would start practicing today, but I didn't expect the teacher to come back so early."
"Since you haven't practiced, then let it go. It won't take long. After Samantha returns from Sky Island, the next step of the Watch Fortress should catch up." Sanders looked at the snow-covered people in the distance. Critical Forest: "When the news comes, I should have time to take you back to the wizarding world."
"Can you go back?"
Sanders nodded: "The presence of the Doom Ranger here means that the descendants of the Demon God will not go through the passage of the critical forest, and the role of the watch fortress will not be so great. There will definitely be a transfer of personnel at that time, and I will too. Take some free time."
"How powerful is the Doom Rider? Where it goes, can others not go?"
"The bad luck it spreads is almost irresistible. The way it goes, whoever walks up will be unlucky." Sanders said this, and he couldn't help but flash fear in his eyes.
Now the entire Watch Fortress is in a state of depression, because of the appearance of the Doom Patrol, all the apprentices know that the Watch Fortress may be destroyed, so no one continues to work.
However, although the apprentices became more relaxed, they were still not very happy. Because, if it is determined that the watch fortress is abolished, they will inevitably be transferred to other fronts, and the safety of the transfer cannot be guaranteed.
The apprentices were not happy, and neither were the wizards.
Wei Feifei came to watch the fortress, itself is to go to the inner layer. Now, as soon as the Doom Patrol appears, there is no way to go.
Sinifer learned from Sanders that there was revival sand in the inner layer. I also planned to cultivate for a while, so I went to the inner layer to explore, and now I have to wait for the transfer.
In the entire fortress, the only joy is probably Madeleine.
Because Dongra is still searching for demon material in the inner layers.
She didn't know about the Doom Ranger, so if she returned through the passage of the critical forest, she would definitely be contaminated with bad luck.
At present, there is no way to notify Dongla.
Even if the golem is used to notify, it will be eroded by bad luck, and there is absolutely no way to pass the message to Dongla.
If there is no accident, Dongla is very likely to be contaminated with bad luck, how can Madeleine be unhappy.
…
Angel had been staying in Sanders' Gravity Garden during this time, discussing with him about the Wilderness of Dreams.
At the same time, Sanders is also tinkering with Ingres' basic knowledge.
Two days later, Samantha came back from Sky Island with a message. Everyone is still temporarily staying in the Watch Fortress until the end of the martial law in Castlevania. If there is no change in the critical forest, they will evacuate to the port of Kodo.
This news is not unexpected. Now they are staying in the watch fortress, but they are just waiting for the "one in ten thousand" possibility.
Maybe the descendants of the Demon God are not afraid of bad luck, so they really have to come out of the critical forest
The possibility is there, but extremely small. Everyone didn't take him seriously, and because of the existence of bad luck in the critical passage, it was temporarily impossible for demons to attack. All the front-line watch fortresses that used to be called the most dangerous are now extremely safe.
It is rare for everyone to have a period of relaxation.
The day after Samantha came back, all the wizards in the entire fortress received a magazine, Frost Moon Secret.
"Frost Moon Secret Journal" is the internal magazine of the Frost Moon Alliance. However, all wizards on the front lines of the abyss, whether you are a member of the Frost Moon Alliance or not, are entitled to a copy.
This time, Samantha went to Sky Island and brought back the latest "Frost Moon Secret".
Sanders flipped through the secret magazine, and just halfway through the page, his pupils shrank suddenly.
The next second, Angel appeared in the study with a glass of pale golden milk in his hand.
Angel was also shocked. He was still in the gravity garden before, and was pulled out by Sanders in a blink of an eye. Most importantly, he happened to be holding the sap of the milk fruit tree in his hand! Moreover, there was a little milky white and golden viscous liquid on the lips!
Where does this put his face!
A hint of shyness flashed on Angel's face, and he coughed twice: "I'm too tired to study, and I'm a little thirsty, so I took two sips."
As he spoke, Angel hurriedly wanted to put away the milk cup.
Sanders was also in shock because of the previous record in the Frost Moon Secret. Now, seeing Angel's appearance, I can't help but laugh.
Hearing a low, guttural laughter, Angel raised his head and looked at Sanders suspiciously.
Could it be that Sanders deliberately picked him out of the Gravity Garden while he was drinking milk
After Sanders laughed, seeing that Angel's expression was getting darker and darker, and his eyes were full of suspicion, he said, "I called you out this time because of something."
Sanders lifted the magazine in his hand, pointed to one of the pages and said to Angel:
"Lucas' skull has fallen."
Angel's eyes froze, and the complicated thoughts in his mind were instantly thrown away by him, and all his thoughts were placed in the words of Sanders.
Lucas's skull, where is it? !
He hurriedly walked to the desk and looked inside the magazine.
The first thing he saw was not the "Lucas Skull" as Sanders called it, but a row of huge words: Stargazing Day.
The next subtitle is the very bland "Prophecy No. 2: The Lost Mystery of the Devil's Sea"
It sounds plain, but the content recorded in it shocked Angel in his heart!
Before, he was guessing who took the mysterious thing. He clearly didn't touch Lucas's skull, but it didn't take long for the news that the mysterious thing was missing. That is to say, after he left, someone among the many true wizards secretly took away Lucas' skull.
This was Angel's previous speculation, but it was denied by Sanders.
Because with the ability of "Sea God" Florence, he can cover the entire dark space at a glance, and no one can sneak things away in his sight.
Because of this, Angel was very curious as to who took Lucas's skull and sang the song of the deep sea with Xia Lu Hailing... Most importantly, he was also implicated! I was almost killed by Siliu in the Yinlu Royal Family!
Angel got up carefully.
According to the magazine, it was discovered by an observer named "Ivan" while peering into the mystery of the starry sky.
When he was halfway through, his brows furrowed.
"That mysterious thing is not in the hands of humans?" Angel asked in surprise, "How is it possible? Did Livia Tang get it?"
After Angel finished speaking, he felt wrong again. If it was Livia Tang, they would have discovered it long ago.
"The prophecy that Ivan got, Lucas' skull is indeed not in the hands of human beings. There are records later, some people speculate that it is human beings who may get the mysterious thing, but put it in the hands of inhumans." After a while, Sanders said again: "And that person can shield the prophecy from prying eyes, and may have an extremely rare alchemy tool to shield the prophecy."
The more Sanders said, the more Angel felt that something was amiss.
He has alchemy props to shield the prophecy, and according to the situation at the time, it is indeed difficult for anyone else to take Lucas' skull away from Florence...
Angel's heart thumped, and he suddenly remembered that there was another possibility.
Could it be Toby who took it
Toby did have time to take that skull, and Toby often followed him, and the effect of Bloody Night Shelter could completely cover it.
Angel looked back and didn't see Toby.
The passage to the critical forest was blocked before, and there was no danger around. Toby was like a duck to water in the abyss, so he stocked Toby, but told him not to go to the critical forest or fly too far.
"What are you looking for?" Sanders wondered.
Angel hesitated for a while, but still said his guess: "I suspect, did Toby take Lucas' skull?"
Sanders was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's not Toby, you'd better keep looking down."
