Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2612: Chapter 2613: Wood Spirit

”This kind of question doesn’t seem like one you’d ask.” After listening to Angel’s question, Zhou glanced lightly at the only two apprentices present: ”I guess it’s these two kids asking, right?”

Angel: ”That’s not important. Besides, I am capable of asking such questions too.”

Zhou snorted, ”Being protected by demons, followed by strong winds, and surrounded by an illusionary realm, if you still dare to ask such a question, then you’re quite cowardly.”

Angel: ”Facing an unknown path, being a little cowardly is not a bad thing.”

As Zhou and Angel exchanged words, the questioning Vay had long since lowered his head in embarrassment. If he had known it would make the adults be mocked by that demon, he—he shouldn’t have asked this question.

However, it feels pretty good to be defended by the adults...

While Vay’s thoughts were a mess, on the other side, after a bit of sarcasm, Zhou eventually answered the question.

”For you, there’s nothing ahead worth mentioning as dangerous. It’s just a bunch of Ghosteye Witches who go crazy at the sight of blood. If you can’t even deal with the Ghosteye Witches, then you needn’t confront that existence.”

Setting aside the emotional language, Zhou’s answer was more or less as Angel had guessed.

Indeed, where there are Ghosteye Witches, the Hanging Jail Stairway is not far.

However, Angel was still a bit puzzled, ”As guards, don’t you stop those Ghosteye Witches?”

”There’s no need to stop them. They have existed for a long time.” After hesitating for a moment, Zhou said, ”They are raised by that existence, supposedly to study some traits of the Ghosteye Witches.”

After Zhou finished speaking, he paused for a while, seemingly sensing the feedback from a contract. After confirming there were no violations, he sighed in relief, ”Years ago, the Ghosteye Witches often hovered around the Hanging Jail Stairway. Since they can’t enter the real prison, just treat them as guard dogs. However, as time goes by, the number of these guard dogs has grown.”

As Zhou finished speaking, Angel heard Dox’s voice in the Mind Ribbon: ”Raised for experiments but still allowed to roam freely... That existence is really carefree. And the most important thing is, others see it and don’t care, directly treating Ghosteye Witches as ’guard dogs’? I can imagine how crazy the Hanging Jail Stairway was once.”

Angel agreed with Dox’s words, but these were thoughts he’d keep to himself, maintaining a calm expression when facing Zhou.

”And then, are there any other dangers besides Ghosteye Witches? Aren’t any Magical Creatures imprisoned in the Hanging Jail Stairway?” Angel asked.

”As long as you don’t enter the Hanging Jail Stairway, the only danger you’ll face is the Ghosteye Witches. As for entering the Hanging Jail Stairway...”

Zhou paused for a moment, ”I can’t say more.”

Everyone: ”...”

Zhou: ”However, I can tell you, the Hanging Jail Stairway has already broken, and you can’t get to the upper floors. As for the lower floors, even back then, there was nothing too dangerous.”

Dox’s voice came through the Mind Ribbon again: ”What do you mean can’t get to the upper floors? As long as it’s in the relic, I don’t believe we can’t reach it!”

Angel silently replied, ”You don’t need to comment on every word Zhou says. As for the Hanging Jail Stairway, it might not be in the relic.”

Dox paused for a moment, ”What do you mean?”

Angel: ”Different Space.”

Once a ladder in a Different Space is broken between the upper and lower layers, no one knows where the broken piece will drift in the plane corridors. So, what Zhou said wasn’t actually wrong.

On the other side, after mentioning the broken ladder, Zhou remained silent for a while, ”I’ve said all I can about your question. If you have any more questions, ask them quickly. If not, that’s fine; if you have them, don’t be as boring as this question.”

Following Zhou’s words, Angel immediately raised a question that wasn’t so boring and childish.

It was Kaier’s question.

What ill intent could Kaier have? He just wanted to know the history of Naraku City, even if it’s merely the corners.

However, after listening to Angel’s question, Zhou pondered for a long time before managing to utter, ”This question definitely wasn’t from you.”

Angel responded with a faint smile, admitting, ”Among my companions, there’s one who’s very interested in archaeology.”
