Main Text Volume Chapter 27 Phantom Master

"Hehe, look what I found, a nightmare stone, such a big piece of nightmare stone. Is today my lucky day?"

Suddenly, a voice reached the ears of everyone on board the Bauhinia. The voice sounded like a seven or eight-year-old child, but it was less childlike and childish, and more strangely charming.

Angel heard a commotion on the deck outside, and some sailors were exclaiming, "How is it possible? The magic in the mirror has failed!". Angel thought to himself that the blood witch Flora, who frightened all the wizard apprentices, must have arrived.

He wanted to sneak to the window to take a look at the scene outside, but before he could stand up, Irene held him tightly. With tears in her eyes, Irene kept shaking her head at him and said silently: You will die, don't move.

On the other side, Allen also grasped his sleeves, with fear in his eyes.

Angel curled up his lips, feeling that these two siblings were really cowardly.

However, he didn't know——

When Flora's body passed through the mirror-in-the-mirror barrier created by the Nightmare Stone, magic flows like water patterns rippled through the air. All the mortals present were overwhelmed by the breath leaking from the water patterns at this moment. Breathless, that kind of breath makes all mortals have a state of "fear" and "avoidance". This is actually the effect of the magic in the mirror, but the witchcraft is broken, and the effect of the magic in the mirror naturally dissipates in the air, but a small part is still embedded in the mortal body.

Even if this is a low-quality mirror technique used by wizard apprentices, to mortals, no matter how small the extraordinary aura is, it is as high as a mountain.

This was the reason for the inexplicable fear of the Erin brothers and sisters. There were even sailors on the deck who were so afraid that they jumped over the ship's railing and jumped into the endless and deep devil's sea.

Angel was not affected by this aura, but there was another reason, which I won’t mention for now.

When Angel was slandering the siblings, there was an angry shout from outside: "Stop! Flora, you have to think clearly. If you dare to touch the Nightmare Stone, you are provoking our Sky Mechanical City!"

"Sky Mechanical City? Hehe, who am I saying is so wealthy? It turns out to be your ship? Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are three pheasant organizations stationed here, could it be a reception ship?" Flora: "What a pity, there is no smell of blood at all. . The backup apprentices picked up by such a pick-up ship are probably the same weaklings as you."

Angel, a preparatory student of the 'Pheasant Organization', silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The voices outside came and went. In the process, Angel quickly summarized the information he heard.

After arguing with Flora, it was obvious that she was not from the three major wizarding organizations. The wizard apprentices did not dare to talk back to the official wizards. Previously, Flora had ridiculed them as a "pheasant organization", and they could only nod in agreement.

Anyone who dares to speak frankly to Flora must be an official wizard of the same level.

"Sky Mechanical City." Angel pondered in his heart. At the beginning, Moro said that the background of the Bauhinia may be extraordinary. This must be the confidence for the Bauhinia to ride the wind and waves, right? "I heard on the ship that there is an official wizard on board the Bauhinia. I guess it's the wizard from Sky Mechanical City who is quarreling with Flora outside?"

Everyone present was overwhelmed by the aura of the official wizard, and Angel was probably the only one who had the time to analyze these.

The sounds outside became smaller and smaller. Flora and the wizard on the Redbud seemed to have reached some agreement. Before Angel could listen carefully, the two left completely.

When Angel stood at the observation window and looked out, he only saw two figures flying in the direction of Cloud Whale.

The back of one of the burly men was probably the wizard of Sky Mechanical City; the other petite figure in a red dress, black veil, and holding an exquisite umbrella was probably Flora.

Looking at Flora's back, Angel vaguely felt that there seemed to be a black shadow hovering behind Flora.

Are you...dazzled?

Before Angel could think about it, the two little guys next to him started howling mode.

Eileen and Allen seemed to know that the danger was far away. They were holding their breath and holding back tears, but now their tears were pouring down like rain and the sound was like thunder.

Angel rubbed his temples, reluctantly took out a spare silk handkerchief from the inner lining, resisted the urge to leave, and lowered his voice to comfort the two siblings.

As Angel comforted him softly, the door to the observatory was pushed open and Moro walked in. His face was slightly pale and his brows were furrowed, as if he was worried about something.

Seeing Angel taking care of the two brothers and sisters, Moro's expression softened slightly when he saw Angel.

"Grandpa, is she gone?" Irene asked tremblingly while sobbing.

Moro nodded and did not tell them about Flora. He just rubbed Irene's hair and comforted her not to cry.

After the two siblings finished sobbing and Moro and the three children left the observation deck, Irene asked cautiously: "Grandpa, why did the wizard come to our ship?"

Moro shook his head: "We'd better not dwell on the matters of those big shots."

When everyone came to the cabin door, Moro took the two brothers and sister to the upper level with the excuse of taking the triangle guidance method for the school test. Angel said goodbye to them and silently returned to his den.

Angel stretched out his hand to scratch his back as he walked. For some reason, he felt itchy on his back.

The itchy spot happened to be the spot scratched by the Poker Queen's nails before Angel escaped from the strange illusion during the talent test.

After the test, Angel had looked in front of the mirror. The place where he was scratched by the Poker Queen in the illusion did not show any signs in reality, and there was no wound on his back.

But why did it suddenly start to itch now? Angel reached out and touched the itchy place. There was nothing strange. The smooth skin felt the same as other places.

Angel scratched for a while, and the itching stopped.

Angel estimated that the itching came from some kind of fleas. Thinking of this, Angel decided to go to the big bathhouse to take a bath at night.

…

At the same time, on the cloud whale.

A miniature manor that looked like a ranch was quietly built on the broad back of the cloud whale.

There were tents of various sizes in the manor, but the most outstanding one was the gorgeous tent with a huge dome in the middle.

Inside the tent, the burly man who flew up from the Bauhinia - Sabo, a formal wizard from the Sky Mechanical City, nicknamed "Mad Bear", was talking to a thin middle-aged man with his back to him with a low brow and cautious words. There was no "Mad Bear" madness at all.

The thin middle-aged man, wearing a black tuxedo, a white lace shirt, a round top hat, green curly hair, and a refined face, looked like an elegant nobleman.

No one could imagine that such a middle-aged man with aristocratic style was a great man who used his own strength to make the whole South Territory respect him - Sanders, a second-level wizard, nicknamed "Master of Illusion"!

Sanders' attention was obviously not on Sabo. He wore gold-rimmed single-sided glasses and looked at the experiment on the other side with a focused face. On his hands, smoke was steaming and various illusions were everywhere; Sabo took a sneak peek and felt a stinging pain in his eyes, so he dared not raise his head again and could only speak with his head down.

"…The location of Barbie Restaurant is erratic. We have been sailing in the Devil's Sea for several weeks. There is no trace of Lady Greya in the sea locator." Sabo said respectfully.

Sanders stretched out his hand and pinched it. The illusion in his palm was crushed and disappeared like a bubble; then he turned around and looked at Sabo.

"It's normal that you can't find Barbie Restaurant for a while. Greya likes to play this kind of game of hiding and finding. She is obviously a food wizard, but she always likes to play the mysterious fate of the prophecy wizard. You must have some luck to meet her." Sanders smiled and shook his head: "In this case, if Sabo is free, I'll leave it to you next."

Sabo was stunned, and suddenly looked up at Sanders, only to see a half-smiling face.

"What? You don't want to?" It was Flora who spoke. She was sitting on a high stool on the side, without shoes, and her small and tender bare feet were swinging rhythmically, looking very leisurely. But when she asked the question, the fleeting light in her eyes made Sabo feel cold in his heart.

"No. Why would I not want to? I am very happy to do so. I will arrange for the captain of the Bauhinia to cruise the nearby waters and look for the whereabouts of the Barbie Restaurant until the dust settles." Sabo finally nodded despite being in a weaker situation. Even though he has the Sky Mechanical City behind him, distant water cannot save nearby fires, and now he can only take one step at a time. Anyway, there is no rush to send the gifted back to the South Region. He has no control over what Sanders wants to do with the Barbie Restaurant, so he can only wait and see for the time being. At least before they find the Barbie Restaurant, the Bauhinia should be safe.

After Sabo left, Flora muttered in a low voice: "You are quite sensible, otherwise, hum..."

Sanders shook his head and said nothing, and continued to look at the experiment on the side.

Suddenly, Sanders frowned, exclaimed, and looked outside.

Flora asked in confusion: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Sanders didn't say anything, but he was secretly surprised in his heart:

"Strange, how can there be a breath of nightmare world escaping here?" Sanders lowered his eyes: "Is there an unknown channel in the Devil's Sea that connects to the nightmare world?"

If, there is really a channel... Sanders' eyes flashed with joy.

Sanders closed his eyes and carefully sensed this breath that was almost the same as his. After a while, Sanders opened his eyes, his joy was gone, but his doubts were even greater.

Just when he sensed the breath of nightmare world, it disappeared in an instant? Now there is no breath escaping.
