Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2426: Chapter 2427: Swan Song on a Dead End Path

”I understand.” Angel lowered his eyes and nodded gently.

The white-haired old man thought for a moment, feeling that his previous statement might make himself appear weak. Although it was true, he was, after all, an Observer. It’s rare to interact with a native Southern Domain Wizard, especially one with ties to Frost. If saying ”powerless” causes Angel to look down upon him, and he mentions it to Frost later, it would be quite embarrassing.

With this in mind, the white-haired old man added, ”Worrying about what happened there is useless. As an Observer, I cannot directly intervene, but there will always be a way to solve it.”

”Observer, sir, what solution might there be?” Angel asked hurriedly.

The white-haired old man smiled faintly, ”The future is undecided, everything is hard to say. Perhaps it will be resolved by forces from the Origin World, the World Will, or maybe by a certain person...”

Angel contemplated the Observer’s words. He understood the first two: either someone from the Origin World will come to resolve it, or the World Will will intervene in the process; but a certain person capable of resolving it—what does that mean? Who is this certain person?

Angel intended to ask, but at that moment, the white-haired old man suddenly mentioned another matter, ”I heard that the Peach Heart Theater is about to dock, this time arriving at the Southern Domain.”

Angel instinctively nodded, this information had been prophesied by Dororo.

The white-haired old man: ”Why has the Peach Heart Theater chosen to land at the Eternal Night territory?”

Angel abruptly raised his gaze, ”Sir, do you mean...” Is the Peach Heart Theater coming because of the Nightmare Realm’s dome?

The white-haired old man shook his finger, ”I don’t know, nor do I have any information sources. I’m just speculating freely. However, the Void merchants have already spread the word that the Peach Heart Theater is about to dock, and soon, various parties will arrive, making the Southern Domain lively.”

As the white-haired old man’s words fell, Angel seemed to think of something, but before he could ponder further, the ground suddenly shook again.

Moreover, this time the tremor was more severe than before.

The corridor they stood in tilted slightly.

Only, the tilting of the corridor did not affect Angel, because at the moment the tremor appeared, the white-haired old man’s distorted force field stabilized the surrounding space.

Their bodies seemed to stand within reality, yet also appeared to exist in an incongruous gap. The surrounding corridor looked like a false oil painting, with only themselves being real, vibrant entities.

This was undoubtedly the white-haired old man’s power.

And this time, Angel could not use the ”Domain Field” to shield the distortion, clearly demonstrating the white-haired old man’s active intervention.

As he existed between reality and illusion, within twisted rules, Angel’s previously slightly settled heart grew uneasy once more.

”Observer, sir...”

The white-haired old man once again gestured for silence, turning his gaze upwards. His eyes were bright, seeming to pierce through all veils, looking at the unknown void.

After a while, the white-haired old man withdrew his gaze, murmuring softly, ”Though I haven’t seen him, his presence has arrived. I wonder will it be a bloodline ancestor visiting, or the city official, or perhaps...”

His voice was faint, with the latter part being unclear.

Angel’s mind also stirred with unspoken thoughts. Who might the ”him” the Observer mentioned be?

After the white-haired old man expressed his own sentiments, he turned to Angel, ”I hadn’t intended to reveal myself, but you captured a third-class citizen, so I had to come to see you.”

A third-class citizen? Angel paused, his gaze languidly shifting to the misty shadow enclosed by the Domain Field.

”Sir, are you saying this misty shadow is a third-class citizen? A third-class citizen of Phantom Spirit City?”

The white-haired old man nodded, ”I see you know quite a bit. It is indeed a third-class citizen of Phantom Spirit City, but its name isn’t misty shadow... never mind, just call it misty shadow. Knowing their clan’s name won’t benefit you, and its elders might directly sense your existence.”

Angel was silent. Although the Observer didn’t state it explicitly, merely knowing the name invokes a sense, which indicates at least a Demon God level existence, equivalent to something beyond a Legend.
