Sanders gave Angel a strange look. "When did I say we were crossing layers?"
"Huh? We're not crossing layers?"
Before leaving Watchtower Fortress, Angel had even asked Frost Moon's guards about it. Deep within the Gloomlight Mountains, there was indeed a Layer-Crossing Gate that could take one to the second layer of the Abyss.
Angel had always assumed they had come to the Gloomlight Mountains to search for that Layer-Crossing Gate.
"Of course not."
"Then what did we come to the Gloomlight Mountains for?" Angel asked, puzzled.
Sanders said, "I told you before that deep in the Gloomlight Mountains, there is an area where space is stable. Since I'm taking you back to the Wizarding World, naturally we need to find a place where space is stable."
From Sanders' tone, it seemed they would return directly to the Wizarding World from here?
Did Sanders not intend to use the Frost Moon Alliance's interrealm passage?
But in the Abyss, aside from the Frost Moon Alliance, no other wizard organization should have the ability to establish a fixed passage, right? Even if they did, with the Abyss in constant upheaval now, they certainly would not open it to outsiders.
If so, why did Sanders sound so certain?
Angel suddenly thought of one possibility: the Fragment Mayfly! Back at Gloria's Barbie Restaurant, it was not only Angel who had obtained a Fragment Mayfly—Sanders had one as well!
Could it be that Sanders intended to use the Fragment Mayfly to directly create a route to the Wizarding World?
Sanders gave an affirmative answer, saying in a matter-of-fact tone, "Frost Moon's interrealm passage only opened not long ago. They can't possibly open it again for me alone. If we want to leave, naturally we have to use the Fragment Mayfly."
"Besides, I calculated the timing.
