"Yes." Greya nodded. She didn’t intend to hide anything, and besides, it would be hard to hide from Angel in the Wilderness of Dreams. "Although my physical body can remain active for a long time, the Nightmare Realm is not a place to stay for long. Besides, it’s mysterious and unpredictable there; who knows what kind of negative consequences might arise?"
"Moreover, the soul being away from the body for too long results in a loss of compatibility, so even if I can’t immediately retrieve my physical body, at least I need to get my soul close to it to restore some degree of compatibility."
"Barring any unexpected events, soon I will be entering the Nightmare Realm with Sanders for exploration. Are you interested in joining?"
Greya proactively issued an invitation to Angel.
Sanders slightly opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but after thinking it over, he remained silent.
Since Angel advanced to become an Official Wizard, he hasn’t entered the Nightmare Realm. This is mainly because every time Angel enters the Nightmare Realm, some bizarre events always occur.
Moreover, that Queen with stitches on her face has been eyeing Angel. To this day, Sanders doesn’t know whether the Queen’s attitude towards Angel is good or bad.
All of the Queen’s subordinates respect Angel greatly, but the Queen herself has twice pursued Angel within the Nightmare Realm.
Because of the Queen’s strange attitude, the peculiar connection between Shava and Angel, and Angel’s unique nature, Sanders had previously advised against Angel entering the Nightmare Realm again for a while.
But this time, he remained silent.
Angel can’t avoid it forever; he needs to face the Nightmare Realm eventually.
Moreover, Sanders also feels that his so-called protection may not necessarily be beneficial for Angel. Given past experiences, his protection is negligible against Angel’s capability to stir up trouble. Whether it’s the Black Castle incident or the Abyssal Demon God incident, Angel not only caused a stir but also had the charisma to tackle problems independently.
Hence, Sanders did not interrupt Greya this time.
"Mentor, what do you think?" Angel actually felt some resistance towards the Nightmare Realm, not because of its peculiarity, but because he always felt he was playing someone else’s role there. This uncertain performance was something Angel found displeasing.
"It’s up to you." Sanders paused, then couldn’t help but add, "But I must remind you that you should know, the place Greya’s physical body is located is exceptionally dangerous, with Legendary Level creatures present."
Though not explicitly stated, Sanders’ disposition was evident.
"Finding it won’t happen in just one or two trips; letting Angel occasionally explore isn’t a bad idea," Greya said. "Besides, I’ve heard that Angel gets along quite well in the Nightmare Realm; maybe he could even be an asset."
Sanders: "The Nightmare Realm is vast and unimaginable. Angel’s status might only be favorable in one area, and where your body is, it may not allow Angel to utilize his advantages."
Greya thought it made sense. She had entered the Nightmare Realm from the Hante World. Even if Angel had some special status, it might not necessarily allow him to move freely within the Nightmare Realm.
With this in mind, Greya felt a bit deflated. She initially thought she might be able to leverage Angel’s skills. As Sanders had suggested, that might not be possible.
"Greya is right; honestly, going to have a look is no harm. It’s not a one-time goal; we can start by exploring the outskirts," Angel’s voice grew softer, "I also want to see if she will appear again."
"She? Who?" Greya looked puzzled.
Angel shook his head and didn’t speak.
Of course, Sanders knew who he meant and nodded after a moment of silence, "Indeed, it is time to go and see."
Greya looked from Angel to Sanders, "What kind of riddles are you two playing?"
Sanders said calmly, "Outsiders don’t need to know."
Greya raised her eyebrows, and the folds of flesh on her neck trembled, "I’m an outsider now? Toby was created by me and should call me mom. Toby now recognizes Angel as dad, so what is my relationship with Angel? How can I be an outsider?"
Angel: ".....What are you rambling about?"
Greya’s baseless ramblings didn’t merit a glance from Sanders. He completely ignored her and spoke directly to Angel, "Why did you come over here, is there something you need?"
Angel shrugged, "Nothing specific, just came to ask how things are going with you and Mentor over there."
Finished speaking, Angel looked at Greya, whose eyes were still widened, and continued, "Hmm, also came by to check on Greya. It’s been a while since we parted in the woods, and I haven’t seen you online. Is there anything you need my help with?"
What Angel was hinting at, of course, was the Golden Apple matter.
Greya continued to play with the butterfly in her hand, nonchalantly shaking her head, "No need."
Her demeanor of indifference was because before logging on, she had Asaz contact Jon through the tree group to ask one of Dream Plant Fairies in Originheart City who can communicate. They learned that the Treant had not left the Mother Tree, and moreover... the Treant had grown another Golden Apple. Although it was still small, it at least indicated that the Golden Apple wasn’t unique.
Thinking of this, Greya naturally became much bolder and immediately went online to begin her grand project of creating life forms. She even vaguely envisioned whether, once that new fruit from the Treant matured, she should have another go at deception.
Seeing Greya truly indifferent, Angel nodded, "If you need help, feel free to contact me anytime."
Greya nodded, then stood up. "As an outsider, I won’t disturb you and your mentor’s chat."
After saying that, Greya shook her soft, fleshy body and walked out of the Rose Garden. That enormous mountain of flesh surprisingly made her exiting posture seem elegant and full of grace.
After Greya left, Sanders looked at Angel, "The situation at the location of Greya’s physical body is quite complex. I’ve explored it a few times, circling around the outskirts each time."
"Moreover, that place, up to now, I haven’t found any detailed information corresponding to it in reality, so it seems it truly is not a projection of the Southern Domain Wizards’ Realm."
Although a projection from the Southern Domain wouldn’t necessarily assist an explorer, at least it felt relatively familiar. Like Naraku City, Sanders once found information on Naraku City in reality, which allowed for saving the familiarization process when entering the Nightmare Realm. Some anecdotes might even provide some hints to explorers.
But an alien projection is troublesome; no one knows from where it’s projecting or what oddities lie within, let alone what Magical Creatures might be encountered.
Everything about it is unknown.
And the unknown in the Nightmare Realm often equates to deadly danger.
"During the previous times I went in, I also found some brief information about that place and a map of the periphery, which I’ve mostly organized. I’ll show it to you when you return to the Tidal World."
