Chapter 2427: Elegy for the End

"I understand." Angel lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

The white-haired old man thought about it and felt that his previous statement was a bit too weak. Although this was indeed the case, he was an inspector after all, and it was rare to have contact with the local wizards in the Southern Territory, and the other party had some contact with Frost. If Angel underestimated him because he said "there is nothing he can do", it would be embarrassing to talk to Frost in the future.

Thinking of this, the white-haired old man added: "It's useless to worry about what happened there. Although as an inspector, I can't intervene, there will always be a solution."

"Master Inspector, what is the solution?" Angel asked hurriedly.

The white-haired old man smiled faintly: "The future is uncertain, and it's hard to say. Maybe it's the power from the source world, or maybe it's the will of the world, or maybe someone can solve it..."

Angel thought about the words of the inspector. He could understand the first two, either someone from the source world would solve it, or the will of the world would actively interfere with the process; but someone could solve it, what does this mean? Who is that person?

Angel was about to ask, when the white-haired old man suddenly said something else: "I heard that the Taoxin Theater is going to dock, this time in the Southern Region."

Angel nodded subconsciously, this news was predicted by Dudolo.

The white-haired old man said: "Why did the Heart Theater choose to land in the Land of Eternal Night?"

Angel suddenly raised his eyes: "My lord, what you mean is..." Is the Heart of Heart Theater actually here because of the dome of the nightmare world?

The white-haired old man shook his finger: "I don't know, and I have no source of information. I'm just making a random guess. However, the Void Merchant Group has spread the news that the Taoxin Theater is about to dock. It is estimated that it will not take long. When all parties come, the Southern Territory will be lively."

The moment the white-haired old man finished speaking, Angel seemed to have thought of something, but before he could think about it, the ground suddenly shook again.

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

The corridor they were standing on was tilted a bit.

However, the tilt of the corridor did not affect Angel, because the moment the vibration occurred, the twisted force field around the white-haired old man stabilized the surrounding space again.

Their bodies seem to be standing in reality, but they also seem to be in the middle of an incompatibility. The surrounding corridors looked like fake oil paintings, only they themselves were real and living.

This is undoubtedly the power of the white-haired old man.

And this time, Angel couldn't use the "field" to shield the distortion. It was obviously the white-haired old man who took the initiative.

When he was between truth and falsehood, in the twisted rules, Angel's previously slightly calm heart became a little uneasy again.

"Lord Inspector..."

The white-haired old man once again made a "silence" gesture and turned his gaze to the top of his head. His eyes were bright, as if he had penetrated all the obstructions and looked into the void full of unknowns.

After a long while, the white-haired old man looked back and murmured softly to himself: "Although I didn't see him, his breath has already arrived. I don't know if it will be the bloodline ancestor, the city affairs officer, or... …”

His voice was soft, but the rest of it couldn't be heard clearly.

Angel also had a thought in his mind. Who could be the "him" mentioned by the inspector?

The white-haired old man sighed to himself, then turned to look at Angel: "Originally, I didn't want to show up, but you arrested a third-class citizen, and I had to come to see you."

Third class citizen? Angel was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned leisurely to the... misty shadow wrapped in the field in his hand.

"Sir, are you saying that this foggy shadow is a third-class citizen? Is it... a third-class citizen of the Phantom City?"

The white-haired old man nodded: "It seems you know a lot. It is indeed a third-class citizen of the City of Phantoms, but its name is not Mist Shadow... Forget it, just call it Mist Shadow, they belong to the same family It’s no good knowing its name, maybe its elders will directly sense your presence.”

Angel was silent. Although the inspector didn't say it clearly, he could feel it just by knowing the name. This was at least a demon-god-level existence, which was above legend.

"Since you know about third-class citizens, you should also understand the significance of third-class citizens to the City of Phantoms."

Angel nodded. Although third-class citizens are relatively low-level citizens in the City of Phantoms, since they are citizens, they will definitely be protected by Gruzdaward. Just look at the situation of No. 01. After No. 01 killed a third-class citizen, he was forced to a point where he had no way out and even a madman could hardly survive.

From this we can see the meaning of third-class citizenship.

"By the way, this guy is a third-class citizen, but his elder is a first-class citizen. It is said that he will be listed as a diamond citizen by the city lord. Also, there are only two of them in the family that exist on the surface. ." The white-haired old man paused, "So, you still decide to catch it?"

Angel: "...No."

No. 01 killed a third-class citizen and it was so miserable. If he really touched the shadow of the fog, the consequences would probably be more serious.

And without Gruzdaward's order, judging from the number of their clan, maybe this guy's elders would take action.

Angel looked at the misty shadow trapped in the field, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master Inspector, I actually just invited it to be a guest...will it believe it?"

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Angel: If it were him, he would most likely not believe it.

The white-haired old man understood Angel's concerns, probably worried about being retaliated by the mist shadow. He stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the mist shadow in Angel's hand flew to his palm.

At the same time, the domain field wrapped around the mist shadow also automatically shattered.

Seeing that the mist shadow was about to regroup and fly into the air, the white-haired old man stretched out his finger and gently tapped the center of the mist shadow, and a twisted force entered the mist shadow body.

"I distorted its memory from five minutes ago. It will no longer remember that you caught it." After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he threw the misty shadow back into the body of Gomito not far away. "It will wake up soon. It's up to you to choose."

Angel bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, sir."

"I just don't want the South Region to be targeted by 'him'. After all, I'm still here to inspect." The white-haired old man said lazily. This is considered free conviction and a legitimate reason on the surface. If there is no legitimate reason, it would be difficult for him as an inspector to interfere with what happened in the South Region.

Of course, he can link anything to free conviction, so he can still do a lot, but it's unnecessary.

The reason he helped Angell on the surface was for the South Region, but the real reason behind it was for Frost's sake. He and Frost were both members of the Order Guild, and they were both mysterious hunters before. They had cooperated many times and had a good relationship. Frost suddenly came to the South Region last time and stayed for a while for Angel. As an inspector, he saw it.

He knew Frost's background and his thoughts. He thought Angel had the potential to become a mysterious alchemist. He wanted to train Angel. If Angel could really succeed, he might be able to help him achieve that goal.

The white-haired old man felt that it was a long shot, but since Frost valued Angel, he was willing to help.

This was the real reason why he appeared and talked with Angel for so long.

If it was really just for the so-called stability of the South Region, he would probably just say something casually like he did when he met Ferro before.

While the white-haired old man was talking, the vibration came again, and this time it was even more frightening, and the whole corridor seemed to be turned upside down.

The white-haired old man looked up again: "That guy is really a madman. Such a big noise will only make him die faster."

"My lord, what happened outside? Why is the whole laboratory shaking?"

The white-haired old man whispered: "A madman is playing the last elegy for his own end."

"Has No. 01 killed the juvenile Xiz?"

The white-haired old man glanced at Angel: "You know a lot. However, he hasn't killed it yet. If Xiz is so easy to kill, its bloodline ancestors would not be listed as diamond citizens by 'him'."

"However, he is not without the opportunity to kill the juvenile Xiz. He is trying to do so now. If he succeeds, he can kill Xiz. The young of this. But it is hard to say what this place will become by then... Maybe the Devil's Sea will be even more terrifying by then. "

The white-haired old man sighed and turned to look at Angel: "You should leave. You should know how to make choices here."

Angel: "I understand. Thank you for the advice of the Lord Inspector. I wonder if I can have the honor to know your name?"

The white-haired old man: "I am only an inspector now, and I can only be an inspector. When a new inspector comes to take my place one day, I can tell you my name if I have the chance. "

When the inspector is in office, he is a calm and indifferent observer. Even if he knows his name, he may be judged as unfair. For this reason, even in "Kuroli Chronicles", when the inspector is mentioned, the name is not clearly stated.

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly and waved Angel out of this distorted time and space.

Angel stood in the corridor again, but at this time, the corridor had begun to tilt clearly.

The Inspector could no longer be seen around, the only thing he could see was Gomito, who was about to wake up not far away.

This time he was not going to fight Gomito head-on, this guy's halo was too dazzling, so he left first as a sign of respect.

Angel exhaled deeply: "Let's go."

If it were before, Dangros would definitely agree, but the white-haired old man had put too much pressure on it just now, and it was still in a daze, so it could only subconsciously cling to the Blood Night Shelter to avoid falling to the ground.

On the contrary, Toby, who was not affected by the twisted force, called out to Angel normally, indicating: Let's go!

Angel immediately released the illusion node, first covering himself, and then ran forward.

But Angel had just taken a step when a familiar voice came to his ear.

"Master Inspector?" Angel was stunned.

"It's me."

"Does your Excellency have any instructions?"

"Your bird just called out, reminding me of something..."

At this moment, in the distorted space and time, the white-haired old man looked through a membrane that seemed both ethereal and substantial, and looked at Angel, who was full of doubts behind the membrane... the bird in the chest pocket.

"My bird?" Angel subconsciously lowered his head to look at his trouser waist, and then silently looked at Toby: "Are you talking about Toby, Excellency?"

"Yes, the origin of your bird is very strange, and I can't see its origin clearly. Such a creature should be considered the only one in the world."

After a pause, the white-haired old man continued: "I just said that 'they' are coming. They are experienced, unlike this mist shadow cub, who encounters treasures but does not know it."

The white-haired old man did not speak again, but he saw Angel's next action from behind the membrane, and he understood that Angel understood what he meant.

Angel was naturally not stupid. Although the Inspector did not explain, he knew very well what the Inspector meant.

Who are 'they'? Considering the mist shadow mentioned by the Inspector later, it can be basically inferred that the visitors must be extraordinary lives in the Phantom City.

They must have come for No. 01.

As for why the Inspector suddenly mentioned "Toby", it was also very simple, because Toby's uniqueness made it a "treasure" in the eyes of some beings.

At the beginning, when Frost talked to Angel about the Phantom City, he clearly warned Angel that if he went to the Source World and took Toby with him, he must bypass the Phantom City.

Grussdewald was full of greed for any magical creature. Toby's existence is very strange. Once Gruzdeward finds him, he will definitely try every means to catch Toby.

It is hard to say whether Gruzdeward will come; but if his men come and find Toby's existence, they will probably catch Toby.

For this reason, the inspector reminded him one more time, which can be regarded as a warning to Angel.

In Angel's view, if Toby is really caught because of his negligence of details, he himself cannot forgive himself, so the inspector's reminder is more useful to him than other information he has asked before.

Angel didn't know where the inspector was at this time, he could only thank the air.

Then he quickly put Toby into the bracelet space. He couldn't stay outside for the time being, so it was safer to hide.

Not long after he put it in, Angel thought about it, took Toby out again, created a green field around it, and put it in the bracelet.

Although I don't know who will come to the Phantom City, the protection of the bracelet alone may not be enough. It would be safer to add another layer of domain field.

After doing all this, Angel heard the humming of Gomito behind him and estimated that it was about to wake up.

It was time for him to leave here.
