Chapter 1398 Are you looking for me...?
"You dug a hole and then made it fill it in itself, you're amazing." Negris couldn't help but give a thumbs up, impressed.
Anthony quickly waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with me. It's mainly due to the strength of the Lord and the presence of His Majesty. I'm just maximizing their deterrent power."
Negris glanced at the king, who had already floated to the plane to supervise, and said with a sneer, "The old geezer can't hear you, and you're still flattering him. You've learned bad habits from Lightning."
Anthony shook his head and said, "I wasn't flattering you, that's the truth. I almost got carried away just now."
“Just now?” Negris didn’t understand which “just now” he was referring to.
Anthony said in a self-reflective tone, "Whether it's you or me, we're far from the level of the Lord and His Majesty. There's no room for us to speak here. Just now, His Majesty destroyed two of the Ghost Tree's clones in succession. This is the normal way of communication at their level. If they're in a bad mood or their tone is off, you don't even have a chance to speak."
Negris blinked, puzzled.
“Because the Lord is too lazy to speak, he entrusted us to speak on his behalf. But just now, I subconsciously kept His Majesty in suspense. If it weren’t for the Lord’s sake, His Majesty would not allow anyone to be so presumptuous in front of him,” Anthony said.
Negris suddenly realized: "You're here because of that? No way, that old geezer wouldn't be so petty. I curse him every day and he's never hit me."
“You’re a pet, that’s different,” Anthony said, making Negris so angry he wanted to strangle them.
"And I'm not saying His Majesty is stingy. I'm saying I've gotten a little carried away. I only have the right to speak because I'm standing on the platform provided by Your Majesty, and it's also thanks to His Majesty's authority that I was able to keep the Ghost Tree in check. It's the platform that made me who I am. Without it, I wouldn't even have the right to speak," Anthony concluded.
Negris scratched his head: "Uh, why are you suddenly so sentimental?"
“Didn’t I tell you? I got carried away. I even kept His Majesty in suspense just now. Luckily, he only glanced at me,” Anthony said.
In his more than a thousand years in the Church of Light, Anthony had seen too many people who mistook the Church's power for their own, and who eventually fell from grace after losing the Church's support.
Therefore, he always kept in mind that he should only be a part of the platform and not mistake his achievements for his actual strength.
But just now he actually kept His Majesty in suspense, which has already crossed the line.
However, given Negris's political acumen, he clearly failed to grasp Anthony's line of thinking. Instead, he felt that Anthony was making a mountain out of a molehill and pursed his lips, saying, "Alright, alright, the old man won't blame you. Let's continue next time."
Anthony was both amused and exasperated, thinking to himself: It's better to be a pet.
Under the combined force of numerous strange plants, the dimensional sphere slowly shifted its direction, turning to the side and forward. After several days of movement, the space in front of it suddenly opened up, and it emerged from the matter zone.
Continuing to adjust its direction, the dimensional sphere flew towards the coordinates given by the Strange Tree where King Felie was hiding. Only after the dimensional sphere was on the right track did the Strange Plants withdraw.
After the last strange plant left, Anthony suddenly said, "It seems that its purpose was really to lure us to this place. The Silent Dead Sea and the King of Phile were all just excuses."
"Huh? What do you mean? You're still testing it?" Negris was stunned, and Ang and the King also turned their gazes.
Anthony quickly explained, "I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm 70% certain that this coordinate doesn't belong to King Phile, but to another being. If there really is another being, what will we do?"
The king immediately understood Antony's meaning: "You mean, it deliberately lured us there to be its pawns, to kill its enemies?"
Anthony nodded.
The king pondered this. It was quite possible. Given his temperament, if he arrived at the location and found that it wasn't the King of Phileased, but something else, he would probably kill it first.
"I understand. Let's go take a look. If it's King Phile, then fine. But if it's something else, this strange tree is doomed," the king said calmly.
The area of silence and death is too large, and the speed of the dimensional sphere is too slow. It might take decades to move from one matter zone to another by flying slowly. So let the dimensional sphere fly slowly first, and everyone else will use star-shifting to reach the coordinate point.
After a few star shifts, they arrived at the edge of the material zone where the coordinates were located. Further ahead was the misty area, which was filled with too much debris. Anthony and the others dared not use star shifts in such an environment.
The king said, "I will lead the way, you follow."
After saying that, he placed his right hand in front of him, and with the small black ball on top of him, he darted forward—a flash.
Although the King's flash was much shorter than Ang's, it was still very suitable for clearing a path. With just a flash, the fog in front of him silently exploded into a large hole, and with another flash, the hole extended forward.
With a flickering sound, a continuous hole appeared in the mist, as if an invisible behemoth was gnawing at the mist bit by bit, a truly spectacular sight.
If it were an Angora, capable of covering tens of millions of kilometers in a flash, it wouldn't be as impressive as it is now.
The king led the way, and Ang and his party followed behind, flying for three whole days before finally arriving at the coordinates.
"Why is there nothing here?" Negris asked, puzzled, as Ang held him in his arms.
The same goes for Anthony and Durocan; in this unfamiliar environment, it's safest to leave them in Ang's hands.
Upon hearing Negris's words, Duroken said, "The coordinate system used by the Ghost Tree is not quite the same as ours. Although you can calculate it quickly, even a tiny error would result in a deviation of thousands of kilometers in reality. We may not even be at the right position yet."
“But I haven’t seen anything within a range of several thousand kilometers. If it were the King of Phile, it couldn’t be floating in the void. It would need a place to land, like a plane or a giant rock, but there’s not a trace of anything enormous,” Negris said.
They circled the area around the coordinates several times, each circle covering a larger area than the last, but still found nothing. Even Anthony was baffled.
“It’s not surprising that we can’t find King Phile, but it’s really strange that we have nothing at all. Could it be that the Strange Tree threw two thousand tons of Chaos Mist at us just to play a trick on us?” Anthony said.
Who would waste two thousand tons of chaos to play around with? Even if it doesn't need the chaos mist, isn't that nutshell something it painstakingly produced? Throwing it into water might make a sound, but playing with people will only anger them.
“But where is that thing? Did it leave? Ang, you…” Negris was about to ask Ang if he had found it when he saw Ang looking around with a puzzled expression.
Just then, a wave of energy spread through everyone's consciousness: Are you looking for me...?
