Angle's personality is very similar to Saine's; they are both rather reclusive Mage who prefer to be alone. →

However, Angle is clearly more serious than Saine's.

Before meeting Lina, Saine had at least considered traveling with Guinness and the others.

But Angle wandered alone in the Knight Continent Trial Zone from beginning to end.

It's unclear whether he's the only member of the Farrell Family in this Trial Zone, or if this is simply his nature.

It seems that the ancient Bloodline inherited by Bloodline Warlock has a certain influence on their emotions and feelings.

Are most snakes solitary?

Faced with Saine's greeting, the level one Angle's originally cold face softened slightly.

After nodding to Saine, he moved closer.

At this time, the number of Knight and Mage Gate of Elements had reached more than thirty.

Those who come here almost always gather in groups of three or five; there are very few lone wolves in the truest sense.

The level one Komoin Serpent Warlock Anglie probably didn't know anyone around him. Apart from Sion, no one else greeted him.

"Long time no see, Saine Mage, Ms. Lina," Angle said as he approached Saine.

Angle was also a very cultured nobleman. The Farrell Family of the West Coast was far more famous than the Grant Family of the Green Source Land, and had a lineage of at least 100,000 years.

The long tradition and family history have also endowed Angle with great refinement and wisdom.

For example, at this moment, Saine and Lina only came here out of curiosity because of the elemental vibrations.

But Angle, like some of the Knight and Mage present, knew what this Gate of Elements represented.

"Angle, do you know what's behind this Gate of Elements? It's attracted so many Knight and Mage," Saine asked.

It is indeed much more free and unrestrained to roam the Trial Zone alone.

However, in the competition for certain resources, they inevitably fall to a disadvantageous position.

The most obvious example is being ganged up on by three Dragon Lizard Warlock before. "It should be a Inheritance Secret Realm. Judging from the size of this Gate of Elements and the time it opened, it is most likely a large secret realm," Angle replied.

Afterwards, Angle explained to Saine and the other person in detail what the Inheritance Secret Realm was and what kind of situations they would encounter after entering Inheritance Secret Realm.

The vast majority of these Inheritance Secret Realm set up on the Knight Continent were established by powerful beings of level three or above.

That's not all, because many of the Inheritance Secret Realm were set up in the Subspace.

Subspace is not something that ordinary low-level creatures can handle; even some Level-4 lifeform may not possess such abilities. →

Therefore, the legends surrounding the origins of these numerous Inheritance Secret Realm are varied and diverse.

However, some of these secret realms were indeed left behind by level five or six powerhouses from ancient times.

Throughout the history of the Knight Continent, there have been some lucky individuals and Heaven's Chosen who received the legacy left by powerful figures from ancient times.

These Heaven's Chosen, after leaving the Knight Continent, did indeed write their own chapters in the Wizard World, inheriting the glory of the ancient powerhouses.

The Inheritance Secret Realm before us may not necessarily have been left by a powerful level 5 or 6 being, but it is certainly much higher in level than the level of the Level 1 Knight and Mage present.

If one can obtain some legacy from a prehistoric powerhouse in the Inheritance Secret Realm, then this trip to the Knight Continent will not have been in vain.

After hearing Angle's explanation, Saine recalled the Level 1 Knight from the East Coast, Guer, whom he had met when he first arrived on the Knight Continent.

That guy was incredibly enthusiastic about finding all the Inheritance Secret Realm within the Knight Continent.

However, after looking around for a long time, Saine did not see Guer's figure among the more than thirty Knight and Mage outside the secret realm.

This Trial Zone is still too big. I wonder where that guy Guer went.

The opening of any Inheritance Secret Realm is time-limited.

Once you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever.

Therefore, none of the Knight and Mage present chose to leave after arriving.

They were all eagerly awaiting the opening of the secret realm.

Just as Saine and Angle exchanging words, the outer elemental portal of the secret realm not far from them underwent another change.

The elemental light gate, which was originally green, turned blue after a slight tremor.

Waves of energy, like ripples on water, spread outwards in all directions.

A much more pronounced elemental fluctuation appeared in the surrounding area, and it is believed that trial participants further away have also noticed the situation here.

Finally, a faint humming sound appeared all around, and a faint vortex emerged from the center of the Gate of Elements.

After the vortex appeared, without anyone giving a signal, the Knight and Mage who had been gathered there for a long time rushed toward the Gate of Elements in unison.

Sion and Lina were among them, and the Komoin Serpent Warlock Anglie was very close to them.

"How about we team up again? We'll split the spoils equally," Angle suggested.

Saine and Lina exchanged a glance, then nodded.

The Element Vortex connecting the interior of the secret realm gave Saine a feeling similar to the Space Teleportation Array he had used before.

However, the spatial disorientation was less intense, and the time spent traversing within the vortex was also shorter.

In the blink of an eye, when Saine flew out of the Element Vortex, he and Lina and the others appeared outside a huge, Ancient Manor.

This should be the Subspace that Angle mentioned in his previous introduction.

Because it was still daytime in the Knight Continent Secret Realm, and Saine and his companions were in a jungle.

The Subspace before them was pitch black, with no moon in the sky, only a few Dim Star emitting a faint light.

Although there wasn't much light in the sky, the overall feeling within the secret realm wasn't dark.

The huge, Ancient Manor in front of us, whether in the corners of the manor or on the eaves and rooftops, is lit by strange yellow lanterns and special crystals.

Saine immediately recognized those crystals as fluorite, a relatively common mineral found in underground veins of the Wizard World.

In the Wizard World, most low-end lighting tools are made primarily of fluorite.

The manor in front of us is clearly quite old.

Saine has traveled extensively throughout the Wizard World and has visited many places over the years, but the manor in front of him still gives Saine a sense of old age and unfamiliarity.

The yellow lanterns inside and outside the manor, along with the faint glow emitted by the fluorite, give this secret place a mysterious atmosphere.

While Saine and Lina were still taking in their surroundings, the Knight and Mage who had entered the secret realm before them had already reached the Great Gate of the manor.

They seem to be considering what methods to forcefully break through.
