On the other side, seeing Yu Li choose silence, Angel didn’t have much thought about it. Because whether Yu Li spoke or not, Angel would inform the Barbarian Cave about the existence of the Tidal World in a while.
The reason Angel didn’t choose to speak now wasn’t to conceal anything, but simply to give the Elemental Creatures of the Tidal World some time to prepare, so they could first go to Mr. Magu to discuss matters together.
However, if Yu Li had mentioned it earlier, Angel wouldn’t mind revealing the matter of the Tidal World now.
But since Yu Li chose to remain silent and conceal it, Angel decided to follow her lead. So, when Dumatin looked at Angel after seeing that Yu Li didn’t provide an answer, Angel just shrugged his shoulders.
This gesture from Angel also showed his attitude, indicating that he wouldn’t speak for the time being.
Seeing this, Yu Li was even more determined not to disclose information about the Tidal World. In her heart, she was somewhat grateful that the Traveling Frog couldn’t speak, otherwise, the fool might have betrayed the Tidal World information.
Observing Yu Li and Angel’s attitudes, Dumatin’s emotions were left unspoken, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Angel intently.
"Earlier, Lord Reine asked if you encountered that Water System Creature in the sea near Edge Island." Dumatin said, "You denied this answer."
Angel looked at Dumatin, somewhat understanding what he wanted to convey.
"However, you only denied encountering the Water System Creature in the sea, but you didn’t deny being on Edge Island." Dumatin’s tone became very light: "And as for Edge Island, its most famous mystery in the Wizards’ Realm, I believe everyone knows."
He paused for a moment, the corners of Dumatin’s eyes drooped, and his mouth curved into a smile: "Congratulations."
That abrupt "congratulations" from Dumatin left Yu Li puzzled, but the others understood very well.
The most famous unsolved mystery in the Wizards’ Realm, which had been listed at the top of the unresolved tasks in every large Witcher Organization’s Task Hall: "The Mystery of Elemental Disappearance on Edge Island."
Angel discovered two Elemental Creatures of different attributes on Edge Island, the answer was already implicit.
There was a significant probability that Angel had deciphered the mystery of Elemental Disappearance on Edge Island.
That’s why Dumatin expressed "congratulations."
Angel, in response to this congratulations, still said little, just smiled and brushed it off.
When he revealed the presence of two Elemental Creatures, he already understood that they would deduce certain situations. But even if they deduced it, what of it?
Without his direct confirmation of the Tidal World’s existence, it remained an unsolved mystery.
Moreover, Angel knew that if he really didn’t want to speak, no one would force him to answer.
Just like Dumatin in front of him, who was clearly a bit annoyed, but in the end, only lightly lifted the cloak covering the answer without further questioning Angel.
If Dumatin acted this way, the others would be even more so.
Just like Reine and Ironclad Granny, they were now smiling quietly without saying a word. They clearly understood that if Angel chose to conceal something, he must have his reasons. When the right time came, Angel would naturally speak.
And then there was Sanders, as a mentor, he would naturally support... Angel turned to look at Sanders, expecting him to remain silent with a smile like Reine and Ironclad Granny. In fact, Sanders did remain silent, but he wasn’t smiling, and his expression was quite peculiar.
A mix of questioning, understanding, emotion, and a helplessness filled with both resentment and anger.
"Mentor, you... what’s wrong?" Angel originally intended to maintain silence, but Sanders’ expression was too unusual, prompting him to speak up.
In Angel’s eyes, Sanders saw his reflection.
He seemed to understand that his own expression was off, coughed to compose himself, and then said, "Come with me later, I have something to discuss with you."
Pausing, Sanders added, "It’s about the matter of Sumishe."
Angel responded with an "oh" and nodded, thinking that Sanders had confirmed what authority Sumishe should undertake.
Their conversation, due to the odd atmosphere, temporarily came to an end.
Angel looked towards Yu Li and the Traveling Frog: "You will follow Dumatin for the time being."
Yu Li and the Traveling Frog both showed signs of reluctance.
Dumatin walked over, his eyes now devoid of any strong emotions, reverting to a refined and composed demeanor: "I noticed that Ironclad Granny is quite fond of them, so let them follow Granny for now. It’s an opportunity for them to get acquainted with the Wilderness of Dreams."
Angel: "And you..."
Dumatin: "I will first organize a report—on the involvement of the Law patterns when Elemental Creatures enter the Wilderness of Dreams, different from when purely virtual Magic Power is constructed. Once I’m done, I’ll contact them."
"I shall take my leave now." Dumatin said, "By the way, thank you for remembering our previous matter and bringing me here today."
After saying this, Dumatin nodded towards Angel and walked towards the direction of the New City.
After Dumatin left, Angel introduced Ironclad Granny to the two little creatures.
Perhaps due to Ironclad Granny’s kind expression and feminine presence, both Yu Li and the Traveling Frog were noticeably less wary of her than the others present.
So when Ironclad Granny offered to take them out for a walk, they didn’t refuse. The Traveling Frog even hopped onto Ironclad Granny’s hand.
Yu Li followed closely at Ironclad Granny’s feet, leaving at her side.
With Ironclad Granny gone, Reine naturally did not intend to stay longer either.
However, before leaving, Reine remembered something and turned to Angel, saying, "Oh yes, Dororo came to see the art exhibition previously and left a message."
Angel: "Hmm?"
Reine: "He said—just there, pay attention to the Void."
Reine paused: "I also don’t know what it means, and he didn’t explain. However, since he’s spoken up, you’d better be more attentive to it."
Angel pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Understood."
Reine didn’t say anything further, just patted Angel on the shoulder and turned to leave.
When everyone had left, only Angel and Sanders remained at the scene.
