Rein nodded.
"Yes, Angor," said Rein. "He wants to buy the Ocean Rhyme from Angor."
Sunders frowned. He thought Flunza was looking for Angor because he found something about Lucas' head, but it turned out to be because of the Ocean's Rhyme.
Rein continued, "Flunza is willing to exchange the Fragments of Eternity for it. I estimate that he'll give you three drops in total."
Fragments of Eternity were priceless, but Sunders was surprised to learn that Ocean Rhyme was worth so much.
Angor did mention Ocean Rhyme back in the Abyss Plane, but Angor didn't seem to want to talk about it.
Ocean Rhyme was Angor's first high-tier alchemy, so Sunders paid a lot of attention to it. When he asked Angor to test it out, Angor refused again and again. Sunders believed there was something fishy going on, but since it was Angor's alchemy creation, he respected Angor's choice and didn't ask further.
Now that Rein mentioned it, Ocean Rhyme was really that valuable?
"Song of the Deep got 15 Fragments of Eternity in total, and Flunza got 10. Flunza said he's willing to trade for three drops, but I think he's willing to give up on using them to upgrade his Sorcerer's Garden. "
Four drops!
Four Fragments of Eternity were enough to build a low-tier Sorcerer's Garden!
The value of Ocean Rhyme was beyond Sunders' imagination.
However, compared to the apparent value of the item, Sunders was more interested to know what Angor was hiding from him.
Rein looked at Sunders, who was wearing an expressionless face.
Rein couldn't help but sigh. Even Rein was surprised by Flunza's offer. It seemed Sunders already knew how valuable Ocean Rhyme was.
What Rein didn't know was that Sunders knew far less about Ocean Rhyme than he did. The reason why he was so calm was that Angor was too good at stirring up trouble. Angor had already shocked him too many times. For example, the dream wasteland had endless potential. It was difficult to measure its value.
Apart from complaining about Angor's troublemaking ability in his mind, Sunders didn't really care much about the Ocean Rhythm.
"What do you think?" Rhine asked.
"That's Angor's work. It has nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter what I think." Besides, we don't know anything about him yet. I think we should go to the Abyss Plane and bring him back first. "
Sunders came here to ask about Angor.
When Angor returned to Brute Cavern the day before yesterday, he told Rein about the incident. Rein asked Sunders to stay calm. Due to the plane fusion, his friend "Voidwalker" Aesop happened to be nearby.
As a rare space truth-finder Wizard, Aesos should have some understanding of this.
Earlier, Rein went to find Aesos and asked Sunders to come here.
"Since Angor is at Windwhisper Valley, he should be fine for now."
Sunders didn't see it that way. "There's a large-scale disturbance at Twilight Mountain. I've been feeling uneasy ever since I stepped into the portal. To avoid any accidents, I should go back and bring him back as soon as possible."
Sunders paused for a moment and went straight to the point. "Is there any reason for the frequent problems with the portals?"
Rhine recalled Aesop's words. "The space energy between here and the Abyss Plane isn't very stable, but it shouldn't lead to a space-time maze. Your situation might be a special case. "
The space-time maze was indeed a special case. Even Rhine himself wouldn't be able to escape from it. Sunders was lucky.
"Two portals in a row? Are they special cases?" Sunders frowned.
"Aesop's original words were indeed an exception." Rhine continued, "The path to the Abyss Plane was affected by an energy tide not long ago. But the tide has mostly passed, and it shouldn't affect the portal you created. So far, there are no other abnormalities, so your experience should be a special case. "
Sunders trusted Aesop's words. However, he still couldn't believe that two failures in a row were special cases. Also, he had a feeling that there was more to this than met the eye. He just didn't know what it was yet.
"Did he tell me where to go?"
"If you want to go to the Abyss Plane, the best place is Fragrant Lake in Yali Duchy. The space energy there isn't as unstable as Parmigi Highlands," Aesop said. In fact, Aesop's original words were that it did not matter even if the portal was opened in the Parmigi Highlands. Although the spatial energy here was unstable due to the failure of the realm fusion, that was only relative. No matter how unstable it was, it was still more stable than the Windwhisper Valley in the Abyss.
Whether it was Parmigi Highlands or Fragrant Lake, the portal to the Abyss Plane would be going from a more stable area to a less stable one. All in all, there was no difference.
"I see." Sunders noted the location and prepared to leave.
He still had Section Ephemera on him, which was enough for a round trip. But to bring Angor back, they used up too many Section Ephemera. Just thinking about it made Sunders' heart ache.
"How about this? I'll go with you." Rein also stood up.
Sunders gave him a doubtful look.
Rein shrugged. "I'm just an old bag of bones. I need to get some exercise in the Abyss Plane. Besides, Angor is important to me. I already gave him the illusion of Demon Absorption Path. If something happens to him, it'll be a waste. "
Rein knew that Sunders would return to the Abyss Plane as soon as he found Angor, so he wouldn't be away for too long. Besides, he hadn't left the Abyss Plane for a long time. There were too many troublesome things to deal with. Since the plane fusion failed, people from various organizations came to bother him, and he could use this chance to hide for a couple of days. If he had enough time, he would go to Sky Island to see Samantha.
Rein's expression turned gloomy when he thought about Samantha.
Sunders saw Rein's frown and knew what was on his mind.
"You might not get the chance to go to Sky Island. I don't think you can find your daughter. Besides, I don't think Samantha wants to see you."
Rein put away his gloomy expression and mumbled, "You're here anyway. Even if she doesn't want to see me, she'll come to see you."
Sunders didn't know what to say.
Sunders and Rein quietly left Brute Cavern.
Yali Duchy wasn't far, so they planned to fly there directly. On their way, Rein noticed Sunders' tightly closed lips and frowned eyebrows. "You look even worse than when Lady Mirror tried to peek at you taking a bath with her Sky Vision."
Sunders didn't mind Rein's teasing. "I have a bad feeling."
"Bad feeling?"
"Now that I think about it, ever since we left the Overwatch Base, I sensed that there's a hidden mastermind controlling everything. There shouldn't be so many demons in Twilight Mountain. There must be something wrong. "Sunders felt that he had overlooked something.
"We'll find out when we get there."
Soon, they arrived at the peaceful and beautiful Fragrant Lake.
They opened the portal and connected to the Abyss Plane. Everything went smoothly. However, Sunders couldn't choose the third layer of the Abyss Plane. He had to go to the outermost layer.
Just as Aesos said, Sunders opened the portal without any accident this time.
They successfully snuck into the Abyss Plane from the wizarding world.
Rein sighed as soon as he stepped out of the portal. "It's been a thousand years since I last came to the Abyss Plane. What a nostalgic view."
View? The clear blue sky of the wizarding world turned into a gray sky filled with dust. They were surrounded by wild mountains, and the air was filled with the stench of blood. What kind of view was that?
Sunders didn't know how to complain about Rein's taste.
He observed his surroundings and quickly determined the location of the Level Crossing Door.
"Thousands of kilometers to the southwest, there's a portal that leads to the third layer." The portal was the one that led directly to Twilight Mountain.
They couldn't go to Sky Island from here.
Rein was a little disappointed, but he didn't mind. Angor's safety was the top priority for Brute Cavern's long-term future.
A thousand kilometers wasn't a long distance for them. Not long after, they arrived at the Level Crossing Door.
Sunders immediately put up his guard as soon as they arrived at the Twilight Mountain.
What puzzled Sunders was that he and Rein didn't run into any ambushes on their way from the southern part of the mountain to the northern part.
This was completely different from before.
When the people of the Overwatch Stronghold were retreating, they were attacked almost every hundred miles along the way. How could it be so smooth?
"Looks like you're worried for nothing," Rein commented.
"I hope so." Sunders' expression was still a little tense. Although the Dim Mountain Range was peaceful now, the strange feeling in his heart had not dissipated.
Why was it that when he returned, not only was there no problem with the trans-realm passageway, but there was also no danger in the Dim Light Mountain Range?
An idea flashed in Sunders' mind. But before he could grasp it, it disappeared in a flash.
"We're at Windwhisper Valley," Rein spoke again.
Sunders followed Rein's gaze and saw a mountain range in front of them. The central valley surrounded by mountains was Windwhisper Valley.
"It's quiet here. No demons." Rein sensed the surroundings.
Sunders looked at a corner of the valley from above. When he saw the sunken pit, his expression changed. "Something's wrong!"
