Angor's lips twitched while his hand was still hanging in the air.
Well, it seemed like his previous conclusion was wrong.
The attractiveness of the Mystery Manifestation was also very attractive to non-sorcerer Transcendents.
After Balalaika put on Orpheus Perros, she looked at the Crystal Harp and Monument Ring with a hint of regret. She was planning to trick them both, but it seemed that was impossible now.
"The deal is done. Now tell me, what do you want from me?" Balalaika changed her posture and leaned her elbow against the bar counter. She wore the Uyu Bolos ring and lazily played with her long-handled tobacco pipe. Her youthful beauty could not be concealed as she exhaled.
Angor thought Balalaika would ask about the origin of Owu Boros, but she didn't say anything. It seemed she wasn't interested at all.
Balalaika didn't want to ask about the item's origin. There were too many strange things in this world. Wasn't it tiring to know everything? Besides, she wouldn't leave her resting place. What could she do even if she knew?
"Any deal." Balalaika slowly drew a circle on the back of Angor's hand with the handle of her pipe as if she was scratching an itch.
The itch on the back of his hand, combined with Balalaika's purposeful tone, caused Angor's heart to waver for a second. But when he thought about Balalaika's identity, he quickly calmed down.
Angor pulled his hand back with a blank expression.
"I'm here to ask you to help me with a problem, Miss Balalaika."
"Murder?" Balalaika said in a frivolous tone, as if she didn't care at all.
Angor shook his head. He carefully took Toby out of his bracelet and placed him on the counter.
Balalaika stared at Toby in a daze for a moment.
"Pina Jonas' Freeze, the Pilgrim of Misfortune's Disaster …" Balalaika glanced at the flame mark on Angor's earlobe, then glanced at the dark-skinned woman outside the bar. "What a complicated aura."
So the ice ball was Pina Jonas' Freeze? Angor muttered in his mind. He was wondering how Oderklas, a fire dragon, could cast Freeze. So it wasn't him.
However, was Pina Jonas also in the Ice Valley?
"My friend is cursed by the Pilgrim of Misfortune. Can you help him, Miss Balalaika?" "That's right," Balalaika said, "My friend is cursed by the Pilgrim of Misfortune.
The Pilgrim of Misfortune's true body was actually in the Silent Dead Sea not too far away. In fact, it was right next to Balalaika. Angor believed that Balalaika would be able to lift the curse.
As long as Toby's curse could be lifted, he would be able to choose whether to complete the mission given by Oderklas or not, and there would be no time limit.
This was why he came to the Land of Eternal Rest in the first place.
He even took out Osiris Boros in hopes of getting a positive answer. However, Balalaika shook her head at Angor after a moment of silence.
"I'm not proficient in curses. Actually, you've already found the right person if you want to undo the curse on it," Balalaika said regretfully. "Odklas is more proficient in curses than I am."
"Is there no other way?" Angor looked disappointed.
"Oderklas might be the only one below the rank of a Demon Lord who can help you." Balalaika paused for a moment before continuing, "You can also try looking for Wizard Disaster."
Angor shook his head helplessly. The phase gates were all guarded by demon lords. There was no way Balalaika could go to other phase planes.
"Do you have a Fire Stone?"
Angor once told Oderklas that he was an alchemist, and he might be able to create a Fire Stone as long as he knew how to fuse it. However, he wasn't completely sure.
If Balalaika had a Fire Stone, he would be able to save a lot of trouble.
But Balalaika still shook her head.
"I had one a thousand years ago, but I gave it to a client." Balalaika shrugged again.
He thought for a moment and asked again, "Do you have a way to make a Fire Relaying Stone?"
This was Angor's last hope. If Balalaika didn't give him one, he would have come here for nothing.
He looked at Balalaika with a hopeful look. After shaking her head several times, Balalaika finally nodded.
"In the past, a Fire Relayer Demon used the method of synthesizing Fire Relayer Stones to make a deal with me." Balalaika nodded. The deal didn't go well. She didn't need the method to make a Fire Stone. However, the Fire Demon told her something.
"The synthesis method of the Fire Relaying Stone is the secret of the Fire Relaying Devils' bloodline. Unless we tell others about it, no one can get it. However, our bloodline restricts us from telling others about this secret. " As the Fire Relayer Fiend spoke, he took out a tattered piece of parchment. "I accidentally obtained this parchment. It records the synthesis method of the Fire Relayer Stone. I don't know where it came from, but I can use it to trade with you. This way, I won't be restricted by my bloodline. This might be the only method to synthesize a Fire Relaying Stone that has been leaked. "
Balalaika's answer was, "But I don't need it."
"You're a merchant. What if someone needs it in the future? Maybe there's a Fire Manipulator who needs it. It's the only one. "
Because of the Firerelay Fiend's words, Balalaika had agreed at that time. However, the deal didn't go well. She got a piece of parchment that was useless to her, but she got a valuable piece of information in return.
After so many years, Balalaika had always thought that she had lost her mind when she thought about it.
But who would have thought that an accident many years ago would lead to today's transaction?
Balalaika knew that if Angor couldn't get the method to make a Fire Stone, the deal would fail. Osiris Boros was very important to her. She wouldn't allow the deal to fail. If that happened, she would try to force the deal. However, doing so would greatly damage her reputation as a merchant.
Therefore, it was better to make the deal go smoothly.
Now it seemed that she was in luck. The Fire Demon's words came true.
It also proved that she didn't lose her mind back then.
"… According to the Fire Demon who made the deal with me, you won't be able to find another method to make a Fire Stone." As she spoke, Balalaika rummaged through the bottom of the bar and took out a tattered piece of parchment. "This parchment contains the method to synthesize the Fire Relayer Stone."
Angor eagerly took the parchment and was stunned by what he saw. It was full of strange characters.
The more he read, the more dizzy he felt.
"This is Ancient Demon Language," Balalaika explained.
Ancient Demon Language was an elegant language system that contained mysterious and unknown power. It was the language of demons above the level of a Grand Demon. A Grand Demon was at least a truth-finder or above. Angor couldn't even understand the common language, let alone this complicated Ancient Demon Language.
Angor gave Balalaika a pitiful look.
Balalaika couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Angor's wrinkled face. After all these years, this human customer was probably the most honest one she had ever seen.
Balalaika took out her long-handled pipe and pointed at the other side of the parchment. "Look at the back."
Angor quickly turned the parchment around and saw the method to make a Fire Stone was written in the common language of humans. Also, judging from the age of the words and the usage of words, it was not written in modern times.
Angor could see similar words written in ancient books.
"This is already on the parchment. I've read it. I don't understand some of the notes, but the translation is accurate," Balalaika explained.
Balalaika's words made him realize that he wasn't the first one to do such a thing. Someone already knew how to synthesize a Fire Relayer Stone a long time ago.
But who could it be? Angor carefully checked the back of the parchment. There was no signature.
Maybe it was just an anonymous senior who disappeared in the passage of time. Maybe it was someone who drifted in the river of fate. It had nothing to do with Angor anymore.
Now, Angor was fully focused on reading the parchment. He didn't get anything useful from it, but the method to make a Fire Stone saved him the trouble of going to Rasudran.
Balalaika didn't urge him to read the parchment. Instead, she picked up her wine glass and enjoyed it alone.
About three hours later, Angor looked up from his desk.
At this moment, his brows were tightly knitted together. Because some of the things recorded on this piece of parchment were too strange.
It only took him half an hour to finish reading the parchment. The reason why he kept reading was because he was reading the notes written by the senior.
Angor had to admit that the senior who wrote the parchment in the common language put a lot of effort into it. Perhaps he was an alchemist himself. He explained the method to make a Fire Stone in the language of alchemy, which saved Angor a lot of time.
The parchment alone was worth it. Even if Angor went to Rasudran to find the half-blood demon, he wouldn't get such a complete explanation.
The original method to make a Fire Stone was discovered by the ancestor of the Fire Demons by accident. The crafting process was very bold, and the materials used were not important. Therefore, the success rate of making a Fire Stone was not high.
As time went by, the success rate of making a Fire Stone slowly increased, but it was still not high enough.
However, the senior who wrote the parchment used the language of alchemy to rationalize and analyze the flaws of the Fire Demons' "primitive crafting" process. He didn't mention any solutions, but it was enough to greatly increase the success rate.
However, Angor still frowned after reading the parchment.
More than 90% of the materials recorded in the parchment were things he had never heard of before.
Fortunately, the senior who translated the parchment into the common language described the effects of most of the materials with strange names, as well as the alternatives for other materials.
That was how alchemy worked. It didn't limit itself to one formula.
Angor was also thinking about the alternatives, and he already had many of them in stock. However, the senior didn't mention any alternatives for three of the materials, which meant they couldn't be replaced.
The three materials were Earth Vein Magma that had been around for thousands of years, Black Gold Nightmare's Undying Bone Flame, and most importantly, Ember Melter made from Hellfire.
