Now that Fafnir was back, Angor decided to stop meditating.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Fafnir looking at the stone wall on the other side with a curious look. This was where Angor left the runes.
Normally speaking, no one could decipher the message except for those from Phantom Island. However, Fafnir, who was much stronger than Angor, could easily read the message without breaking the illusion.
Angor knew that Fafnir would read his message, so he only left a simple message in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Fafnir didn't do anything after reading the message. She only chuckled in her mind.
The aroma of roasted meat came out from the fire.
Fafnir picked up a large meat leg and began munching. Angor didn't know what kind of meat it was. Grease dripped down from the meat, which made him feel hungry as well.
Angor gulped and quickly lowered his head. He didn't want to fight with an Abyss Dragon for food. It was best to pretend that he didn't see it.
However, the more he ignored it, the more he couldn't forget about it.
He couldn't stop thinking about the food.
The meat leg was definitely a precious ingredient. Just roasting it already gave off a tantalizing aroma. He wondered how delicious it would be if Greya cooked it.
In order to stop himself from thinking too much, Angor forced himself to use his rational mind. Since he couldn't avoid thinking about "food", he might as well think about what kind of creature the food came from.
Angor suddenly remembered something about food.
Fafnir mentioned something about "danger" before. "Everything in this world is dangerous. You'll run into demons on your journey. You'll encounter disasters when you rest. You'll swallow bad luck when you eat."
Angor didn't think too much about it back then. Now that he thought about it, he realized that there was a deeper meaning to it.
Fafnir used the sentence to mock him, which meant that she was saying it for Angor's ears. Then, the subject of her parallel sentence was very likely to be himself?
He did run into demons on his journey, and disasters happened when he rested. However, he didn't eat much since he came to the Abyss Plane. At most, he drank some Milkberry Sap and some Devilish Meat.
So Fafnir wasn't talking about him.
Angor looked at Toby who was still sleeping. Was she talking about Toby?
Toby did eat a lot of Abyss food. For example, when Angor visited Toby's dreams, he saw Toby eating "crab meat" more than once. Based on the appearance of the crab meat, Angor could tell that it was the Orlov's Tentacle Crabs from Shadow Cave.
"Swallowing misfortune … Olof's Tentacle Crab …" Angor recalled Fafnir's words and realized something.
Orlov's tentacle, Orlov's Tentacle Crab was eaten by Toby Toby's to Toby?
When Fafnir finished eating, Angor carefully asked about the matter.
Perhaps Fafnir was already full, she didn't refuse to answer Angor's question. "That's right. The Pilgrim of Misfortune is now at the bottom of Silent Dead Sea. All the crabs there are infected by misfortune."
With Fafnir's confirmation, Angor realized that the underground river in Shadow Cave was connected to the Silent Dead Sea.
When Toby went to the underground river, he ran into Orlov's Tentacle Crab that escaped from the Silent Dead Sea. Toby ate the crab and was infected by misfortune!
This was probably the truth behind Toby's misfortune.
However, if one thought about it carefully, they would find that this was an extremely terrifying matter.
Orlov's Tentacle Crab was infected by misfortune and escaped from the Silent Dead Sea. Because it was also affected by misfortune, it ran into a powerful enemy — Toby. Toby ate the crab, and then Toby took over the crab's misfortune.
Now that he thought about it, Toby's misfortune was like an uncontrollable virus!
The virus was so well-hidden that no one could find it. Anyone who ate it would unknowingly be infected by misfortune.
More importantly, Sunders once told him that Orlov's Tentacle Crab was a very precious food ingredient that was discovered and named by a Gourmet Wizard named Orlov.
Therefore, any wizard who discovered Orlov's Tentacle Crab would definitely treat it as a delicacy. If someone ate it, the bad luck would definitely be transmitted to them.
Of course, if Orlov's Tentacle Crab wasn't found, it wouldn't matter.
However, Angor clearly remembered that when he escaped from Shadow Cave a few days ago, there were three wizard-level monsters chasing after him. They were the snake, the troll, and Orlov's Tentacle Crab.
The snake was taken by Sunders, while the troll and the crab were hunted by the Moonfrost Guards working together with other wizards in the base.
Angor was almost certain that Orlov's Tentacle Crab escaped from the Silent Dead Sea. In other words, it was also a monster infected by misfortune!
Angor didn't dare to imagine what would happen to the crab.
If it was brought to Sky Sky Island and someone ate it, it would definitely bring about a devastating blow to Sky Sky Island!
Even someone as powerful as Sunders could not detect the presence of such a curse.
If Sky Island was attacked because of misfortune, they wouldn't even be able to find the cause. If they couldn't find out who was infected by misfortune in the long run, it would be a terrible thing.
Angor didn't dare to think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the disaster at the front line of the Abyss Plane would never be resolved. The Pilgrim of Misfortune was indeed a big problem. It was said that even the demon lords didn't dare to mess with them. Now that he thought about it, the rumors were true.
He could only pray that there weren't too many people who ate Orlov's Tentacle Crab.
In his mind, it was just a beautiful wish. Most of the wizards who hunted Orlov's Tentacle Crab were involved. According to the rules set by the Moonfrost Guards, every wizard who helped would receive a reward. In other words, there was definitely more than one adept in the Overwatch Fortress who had a Disaster Bomb in their hands.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to leave the message behind.
He walked to the stone wall and carved another line of words.
This time, he didn't use any illusion to hide the message. He hoped that someone would see it and send it to the wizards of Sky Island.
Angor didn't really care about the fate of others. He only did this because Mister Kanter was still staying at Sky Island. Perhaps Madelyne would also go to Sky Island in the future.
Their existence made him decide to leave the message.
However, he didn't know if anyone would see it in the end.
Fafnir only snorted at Angor's new message. "You humans are nothing more than hypocrites."
Angor didn't say anything. This was all he could do to help.
"It's about time. Time to go." Fafnir suddenly transformed into a terrifying Abyss Dragon.
It flapped its giant wings and circled in the air. Then, it reached out its sharp claws and grabbed Angor by the back of his collar. Fafnir then kicked up a gust of wind and dashed into the misty sky.
Only a small fire remained in the pit of Windwhisper Valley, as well as the glowing words on the stone wall.
…
Brute Cavern, Cloud Tower.
When Sunders arrived, Rein was already waiting for him.
The spacious room was filled with crystal balls of various sizes. Rein was sitting in front of one of them and nodding to Sunders with a smile.
Rein gestured for Sunders to sit across from him.
Sunders didn't agree right away. Instead, he stared at a corner of the floor.
Unlike the dry environment around them, the area was damp. If Sunders looked closer, he could even hear the sound of surging waves.
"Did Mister Sea God come here before?" Sunders sounded like he was asking a question, but his tone was firm.
With Rein's ability, it was easy for him to erase the traces. Since Rein didn't remove them, it was obvious that he left them there for Sunders to see.
"The plane fusion failed at the last step, which naturally caused a lot of speculation. Flunza has been sending his doppelgängers here to exchange information with me. "Rhine paused for a moment before continuing," But today, he mentioned you. "
"Me?" Sunders' expression was cold. "Did he think I had something to do with the plane fusion failure?"
"The timing of your return is rather coincidental. There are indeed some apprentices spreading these rumors, but the truth is not something an apprentice would know," Rhine said calmly. Only an apprentice would be able to spread such rumors in such a systematic manner.
To be honest, even level-3 legendary wizards could not affect the fusion of planes, let alone Sunders.
"So Mister Rein still pays attention to the rumors." Sunders chuckled.
Rein heard the rumors because they were spread too widely. Besides, Sunders showed up at the right time. Of course, the most popular rumor was that the plane fusion failed right after Sunders left Devil's Water. Now, Sunders had just returned, and the plane fusion failed again.
Even if the wizards knew that Sunders had nothing to do with it, they still couldn't help but think that Sunders was just an unlucky star. Wherever he went, plane fusion would fail.
As Sunders teased Rein, Sunders also felt that it was too much of a coincidence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up right away.
If Sunders wasn't the victim himself, he would probably do the same thing as the other wizards. Although he didn't show it on his face, he would definitely complain in his mind.
"Let's not talk about these rumors. Can't you guess why Flunza mentioned you?" Rein asked.
"Because of Angor?" Sunders considered.
