Warlock Apprentice

Lost in her thoughts, Mandhela ignored Frode, who had asked her a question.

Frode sighed, “Well, no matter who brought you here, since you’ve come to Originheart City, you are now a new resident of this place. By the way, what is your name?”

After snapping back to reality, Mandhela retorted, “Who are you?”

Frode smiled and didn’t mind Mandhela’s rudeness, “I’m Frode Tyson, and what about you?”

She hesitated for a moment, but still replied, “Mandhela.”

Mandhela paused, then asked, “Where is this place? I don’t want to become some new resident. I just want to leave here.”

“This is Originheart City, a city beyond the world,” Frode paused, “I don’t know why you came here, nor do I know why you want to leave. But all I can say is, those who can leave will naturally find a way to do so, and if you can’t, there’s no way I can help you.”

Mandhela was utterly confused. What did he mean by “those who can leave will naturally find a way to leave”?

But Frode could only shake his head in apology, “It’s hard to explain.”

Mandhela said, “Since you’re unwilling to say, I’ll leave the city on my own.”

“I advise you not to leave the city at will,” Frode said, “Outside the city is a prohibited zone, an untamed wilderness.”

“What do you mean?” Mandhela frowned.

“I don’t know what your status was in the outside world, whether you were ill or a dying person, but after you came here, haven’t you noticed a change in your body? This place is not like the outside world. Even if you leave the city, you’ll only ever be lost in the wilderness,” Frode explained.

After hearing this, Mandhela actually believed it somewhat, for her body now was clearly different from a Soul Body. According to what Frode said, was she in another world?

Mandhela knew that the Fairy Tale World was also a subsidiary world, and different worlds had different rules. So, had Angel brought her into a strange world where she could have a body?

When Mandhela thought of this, her face turned pale, and she cursed Angel incessantly in her heart.

“Regardless, I still hope you’ll stay and live in Originheart City. Here, at least, you are free and can start a new life,” Frode paused, “Why not give it a try?”

Frode’s words made Mandhela involuntarily recall Angel’s whisper in her ear before she entered this world, “Why not try it, let yourself live a little easier?”

Mandhela was stunned for a long time, then suddenly shook her head as if trying to throw all the disruptive information out of her brain.

“Take some time to think about it yourself,” Frode suggested.

At this moment, Tullas also said, “Yeah, I guess you were brought in by Lord Pat. Although I don’t know why you were brought into Originheart City, if you really want to leave, the next time Lord Pat comes to the city, you might want to ask for his opinion.”

“Angel will come in too?”

A look of realization flashed through everyone’s eyes, and Frode also pretended to have a sudden insight, “Indeed, you were brought in by the Lord. He will come. He was here a few days ago.”

Mandhela fell silent. It seemed that now she had no choice but to stay here for a while?

Seeing Mandhela’s expression gradually relax and become calm, Frode said no more. Instead, he turned his gaze to Tullas, “By the way, I am curious, why did you bring Mandhela here?”

Once Tullas realized that Mandhela was not brought into Originheart City by Frode, he understood that his supposed grasp on Frode’s weakness was a lost cause.

Tullas gave an embarrassed smile, “Nothing much, I just saw her as a newcomer and brought her along on the way.”

“You’re the Sheriff; this task shouldn’t fall to you, right? And besides, the registration place is downstairs. Why did you bring her up to me?”

Tullas was at a loss for words.

“Right, I heard a loud noise coming from the Marine Theater earlier. Could it be…” Frode’s voice suddenly rose, “You’ve caused destruction again?!”

Tullas quickly waved his hands, “No, absolutely not!”

Frode didn’t believe him at all. His gaze shifted to Mandhela, “Do you know about it?”

Mandhela didn’t expect Frode to come asking her. She glanced at Tullas, who was continuously gesturing and making faces at her. A slight smirk curved the corner of Mandhela’s mouth, “Yes, I saw it.”

Tullas’s eyes widened, and he pointed at Mandhela with trembling hands, “You, you-you…”

Frode didn’t ask Mandhela any further questions but instead turned his piercing gaze onto Tullas, “You just destroyed the square’s statue, and now you plan to destroy the Marine Theater, too?”
