Chapter 2096: Chapter 2097: Questions
Ignoring Nis, Rhein took a step tens of meters away, his figure gradually becoming illusory... Just as Rheinās figure was about to leave, the shallow surface of the Star Pond suddenly rippled.
As the ripples spread, a figure slowly rose from the center of the ripples.
As the light faded, the true appearance of the figure was revealed.
The oily smooth skin and the bare upper body clearly indicated the visitorās identityāa Tree Spirit.
Rhein, who was ready to leave, slowed his pace upon seeing the Tree Spiritās arrival.
āāInside the Observation Pavilion.
"Why have you returned?" Rhein asked the Tree Spirit in confusion, as he was just about to look for the Tree Spirit and Angel, and unexpectedly, this guy came back.
"Angel asked me to find you," the Tree Spirit said.
"Is there something urgent?" Rhein frowned. "Iāll go over there now and see."
"Wait!" The Tree Spirit quickly stopped Rhein. "Since Iām here, there must be something else. Itās not too late to listen before you leave."
"Actually, I donāt know why Angel insisted on me bringing these things over. He didnāt come himself... But since he insisted, I obliged." As the Tree Spirit spoke, he waved his hand over the table surface.
Two items instantly appeared on the table.
A bulging small bag and an extremely exquisite and gorgeous White Bone Cathedral.
The small bag went unnoticed because it was unimpressive and didnāt emanate any energy. Instead, the White Bone Cathedral immediately caught everyoneās attention. The main material was recognized as the bones of the deceased, and the cathedral emitted a dense, sinister deathly aura.
"This seems to be an alchemy item that can nurture souls." As a Soul Witch, Nis immediately recognized the truth of the White Bone Cathedral.
Lianna added, "The Deathly Stillness Magic Pattern is inscribed beneath the cathedral, indeed used for nurturing and preserving souls. Also, I sense there seems to be a soul inside?"
The Tree Spirit nodded, "This is the Deadās Church, a tool refined by Angel. You can project spiritual power inside and take a look. In the room opposite the stained glass, thereās a soul recuperating... Remember, donāt disturb the other souls inside or damage the Deadās Church, as I still need to return it to Angel later."
The crowd followed the Tree Spiritās words and saw Reeves sleeping in the room.
After a moment, everyone remained silent, with only Rhein and the Tree Spirit inquiring about Reevesās issue.
The Tree Spirit recounted what he heard from Angel, then said, "Reevesās soul is almost fully recuperated and can be awakened. Angel asked me to bring him over, probably because he wants Reeves to personally tell you some details about the ruins..."
Rhein pondered for a moment and looked at the gray-haired old man sitting on the other side of the Observation Pavilion.
"Nis, you awaken Reeves, and be careful not to harm the soul body."
Rhein could have awakened him personally, but since Nis was present, it was natural to let the Soul Witch do it.
Nis didnāt refuse and used Soul Techniques to bring Reeves out from the Deadās Church.
With Nisās murmurs, soul ripples spread into Reevesās spiritual body, and after three days of slumber, Reeves slowly opened his eyes.
"Am I... not dead?" This was the first thing Reeves said upon opening his eyes.
"No, Iām already dead. Is this my soul? But wasnāt my soul contaminated by Misty Goldlady?"
Reeves muttered to himself for a while before finally turning his gaze towards the surroundings.
When Reeves saw the people around him, his eyes first showed confusion, then slowly turned to joy, and finally settled into calmness: "Lord Rhein, Mr. Tree Spirit... Was it Angel who saved my soul and brought me away? Where is Angel?"
Tree Spirit: "Indeed, it was Angel who brought you away. He is not here at the moment. Later, I will take you to see him. But before that, I hope you can answer a few questions for me."
Reeves nodded, knowing what they wanted to ask, which was nothing more than the situation about the ruins, and he was willing to tell.
As Reeves answered the questions, time slowly passed.
Half an hour later, Reeves finished recounting his experience.
After listening to Reeves, everyone was filled with questions.
"In the ruins, thereās overwhelming red light, nowhere to hide, surely leading to bizarre situations due to the light? Is this the truth behind the ruinsā one-way entry? What exactly is the red light?"
"The crazy woman in the painting, Misty Goldlady, who severely injured Reeves in a single strike, what is her origin, and what is her level of power?"
"Misty, turned Reeves into a terrifying mushroom, and can even contaminate the soul, what is this?"
Various doubts were raised, but what Reeves knew was actually limited. He could clearly recount what happened before the creatures from the Nightmare Realm occupied the ruins, but he knew little about what happened after their arrival.
"Now, it seems only Angel can provide the answers." Wallaceās expression was serious, feeling deeply fearful from what Reeves had said. The sense of crisis weighed heavily on them like a burden. Yet, regardless of the unease, they had to figure out the current state of the ruins.
"What is this so-called spatial expansion? What do the Nightmare Realm creatures intend to do?"
"Lord Rhein, I want to go see Angel with you," Wallace said.
Lianna also said, "I want to go too."
Nis took the opportunity to express his interest in going again.
Previously, they did not understand the specific situation, so they thought it was okay for Rhein to go first and pass on the message. But now, Reevesās words had sparked a strong sense of urgency in everyone.
Regarding Wallace and Liannaās requests, Rhein remained silent for a moment but ultimately agreed. However, Nisās request was again ignored.
While Nis put on a pitiful expression, the Tree Spirit suddenly said, "Thereās no rush to go now; Angel has something else for me to tell you."
Saying this, the Tree Spirit opened the other bulging small bag placed on the table.
Five exquisite monocles fell out.
Everyone turned their attention to them. Lianna casually picked up a monocle and asked a little doubtfully, "Is this an alchemy tool with some abnormal power attached? But it really is incredibly simplistic. Did Angel refine this?"
The Tree Spirit nodded, "Yes, Angel refined it. He wants you to wear the glasses; he has something to communicate to you."
"However, I donāt know exactly what it is."
