"Looks like he really is important to you, Polo Ye," Angel said in a meaningful tone.
Previously, I tried every possible way to prevent the Observer from retracting the space, but none worked. Now, just involving Angel, the effect is immediate.
If it were someone else, they might not understand why the Observer values Angel. But Polo Ye knows, and it seems the Observer is also aware of Angel’s mysterious talents. Being part of the Orderly Guild, how could they not recruit Angel vigorously? To protect Angel, the Observer blocked Polo Ye’s advance and even stopped retracting the space for that reason.
Polo Ye knows all this well, but now it has to pretend not to know. Angel is a must-have, and before that, it doesn’t want to expose its intentions prematurely, alerting the Observer.
As for Angel’s own opinion... heh, does that matter?
The Observer doesn’t know Polo Ye’s thoughts, but he knows Polo Ye must have misunderstood something... The stop of the space retracting was not his doing.
His distorted domain field was just to cover Angel’s green-patterned domain field. The real reason for the change in space size is still the green-patterned domain field. Now, the green-patterned domain field stopped abruptly, and his distorted domain field naturally stopped as well.
Only, the Observer doesn’t understand why Angel stopped at this moment. It seems as if he really stopped due to Polo Ye.
Although the Observer doesn’t mind taking the blame, it still feels a bit awkward, especially when Polo Ye stares at him with that eerie look, it makes him even more uncomfortable.
But he couldn’t explain it, he could only look at Angel silently, sighing helplessly in his heart.
However, on second thought, the Observer believes Angel wouldn’t stop the space contraction just because of Polo Ye’s words.
Perhaps Angel was only planning to retract to this extent, and Polo Ye’s words are coincidental?
If that’s true, then he retracting the domain field to this size must have some meaning.
The Observer glanced around the size of the domain field.
Coincidentally, the domain field is just big enough to accommodate the three of them comfortably. Even if Polo Ye retracts those eight tentacles a bit, there’ll be room for another person.
In other words, it can hold at most four people. Four people can fit without being too crowded, but any smaller and they’d be shoulder to shoulder.
The Observer believes Angel’s series of manipulations, including including Polo Ye and the inexplicable space contractions, have a certain internal logic.
The maximum capacity of four people must be part of his calculations.
Judging by various details, Angel’s series of manipulations don’t seem to be aimed at those present but may relate to the "arrival of someone" that Polo Ye mentioned earlier, and Angel has deliberately left a "vacant spot."
The Observer has a guess in his heart: Perhaps Angel’s actions are for that arrival?
This guess is absurd even to the Observer, because although Polo Ye didn’t say who the arrival is, they’re certainly not weaker than Polo Ye. Legendary and above, undoubtedly.
Angel intends to target someone above legendary?
Just imagining this is a funny joke.
The Observer wishes to dismiss this "joke" as mere fantasy, but the signs are so true, he’s a bit confused.
"Maybe I’m overthinking it." The Observer shook his head.
"Shoo Lo~ What are you overthinking?" Now that they are so close, Polo Ye naturally heard the Observer’s mutter.
The Observer glared coldly at Polo Ye without saying a word.
Polo Ye didn’t mind, continuing, "I read in the Fiebor Fisherman Report an investigative report that the Orderly Guild dispatches Observers across various worlds, and prolonged inability to communicate leads to various hysterias, the most typical being overthinking, common as they say. Shoo Lo?"
The Observer said flatly, "You still have room to joke, seems the space given to you is considerable. You wouldn’t mind if it shrank a bit more, would you?"
At those words, Polo Ye felt the distorted domain field around them shrink again.
Polo Ye was shocked, if the space shrank any further, there wouldn’t even be a foothold when the Lord of the City arrives. This wouldn’t do.
Polo Ye quickly shifted the topic, a rare hint of flattery flashing in his sapphire eyes, "Shoo Lo~ Shoo Lo~ I just want to ease the atmosphere, look how tense it is outside now. If you think it’s inappropriate, I’ll shut up. Hmm, shutting up."
Pink eight-tentacled appendages blocked his toothed mouth, presenting a self-sealed and self-closed appearance.
The Observer snorted coldly.
The twisted domain field also aptly stopped shrinking, seeming to echo the Observer.
As Polo Ye watched the Observer’s calm and indifferent face, he cursed inwardly: Shoo Lo Shoo Lo! You may be arrogant now! Wait till the Lord of the City arrives, then I’ll have him cut off your nose! Watch you still hum!
While Polo Ye cursed the Observer, the Observer’s focus was on the green-pattern domain field.
The recent events once again demonstrated one point, the green-pattern domain field is "controlled" by someone.
And this person, is definitely Angel.
The Observer glanced at Angel from the corner of his eye, the latter still mesmerized by the distant mysterious fruit... Such acting skills, truly superb.
At least the Observer couldn’t detect any trace of acting from Angel.
If the Observer couldn’t see through it, Polo Ye certainly couldn’t either.
At that moment, the Observer shook his head, suddenly feeling as though he couldn’t understand Angel anymore. Clearly, you are awake, and know how to use the domain field to assist him, yet still acting. Is it to showcase the ability to deceive even a Legendary Wizard?
Or does Angel think that if he wakes up, he will be asked questions he doesn’t want to answer. For instance, why has the green-pattern domain field suddenly become so powerful, able to ward against disorderly rhythms? Or, his insights during the birth of the disordered object?
He doesn’t want to answer these questions, so deliberately enters master acting mode?
The Observer believes he has realized the truth.
That rascal is cautious, guarding strictly. Though, the Observer still appreciates Angel’s cautious attitude, because... if Angel truly woke up now, he couldn’t resist inquiring about the green-pattern domain field and the disorder insights.
It’s too rare, even the usually calm Observer couldn’t resist having his curiosity piqued.
No matter what thoughts the Observer and Polo Ye had at this moment, in the next second, their thoughts paused.
Because the shell in the distance fell off once again.
