Warlock Apprentice

Whether exceptions occurred in the times when Naraku City still existed is uncertain.

”Secretive, underground structures, seemingly chapel-like... Did I guess right? Is this a gathering place for Demon God believers or the headquarters of the Garden Labyrinth villains?!” Kaier’s voice suddenly rang out, laced with excitement.

Angel: ”Maybe you guessed right, but to be sure, we still need evidence.”

”However, confirming the situation here is only a secondary task. Our main goal remains to find if there’s an entrance leading to the underground aqueduct.” Pausing, Angel turned to the others, ”Everyone, let’s split up and search. Mark any suspicious areas, and we’ll check them together later.”

Having said that, Angel turned to the Black Earl again, ”Lord, can you temporarily lift Vay’s seal?”

Vay, originally looking a bit dispirited, suddenly brightened his eyes upon hearing Angel’s words, casting a disbelieving glance at Angel.

This famous Transcendental Wizard actually pleaded for him?! Did Angel see the fragility in his heart in such a short journey, the restless soul unwilling to remain lonely, wanting to soothe his wounded mind?

Vay’s eyes gleamed with light, his heart fluttered, but his understanding was obviously skewed. Even as a nose, the Black Earl saw through more than he did.

The Black Earl directly asked, ”What do you need him for?”

Angel: ”To have Vay inquire with the logistics of that Hero Squad we met earlier, especially that Endless Old Man, about the original appearance of this place, what significant changes they made, and if there are any symbolic patterns or textures, and a series of such questions.”

Although confirming if this is a Demon God chapel isn’t the primary task, knowing related information could potentially help find the entrance from minor details.

The Black Earl pondered a moment, understanding Angel’s intention.

Among those present, Dox had spiritual perception, Angel understood Magical Energy Arrays, and Kaier loved exploring ruins, so it was left to the introverted Vay to inquire about these trivial questions.

”I understand,” the Black Earl replied without further comment, directly lifting the seal on Vay’s mouth, then flew out from his pocket, signaling Vay to seek out the group from earlier alone.

Vay, still in his delightful reverie, gave Angel a grateful glance before advancing, reluctantly turning back every few steps into the passage.

The Black Earl flew up with the stone slab: ”I’ll take a look around first, contact through the Mind Ribbon if you find anything.”

With that, a Mind Ribbon connecting everyone quietly established.

The Black Earl’s goal was clear, flying straight to the top, seemingly making some discovery.

Angel then looked at Dox, ”Shall we go together?”

Dox hesitated for a moment, ”Why?”

Angel: ”There isn’t much space here to begin with, splitting into three groups is enough. Besides, your inspiration is strong; perhaps there might be clues on the way. If you miss anything, I’m here.”

Dox: ”...The second sentence is the actual reason, right.”

Dox couldn’t care less now, as his intuition still hadn’t surfaced.

However, since Angel offered to accompany him, going together was acceptable, giving him a chance to both earn favor and study why his inspiration diverged whenever it involved Angel.

”Then let’s start looking around this hall,” Dox said, heading toward the podium.

Angel didn’t follow immediately, as the hall was small anyway, and first decided to check the surroundings for any Extraordinary traces.

Angel walked to the side, extending his hand to touch the somewhat broken yet still cold wall, slowly closing his eyes as his spiritual power began to spread out.

In less than a few seconds, Angel retracted his external spiritual power.

”Tough job, huh? I tried when I first arrived, you can’t get the spiritual power to penetrate here at all, forcing it will only backfire.” Dox said, standing on the podium, with a gleeful expression looking at Angel.

Angel remarked calmly, ”Since you tried as soon as you arrived, did you have no discoveries at all?”

Dox let out an ”Ah”, looking puzzled: ”I, do I need to discover something?”
