"What are you doing here, Mr. Night?" Angor looked at Night out of curiosity.
Nightfall didn't show up when he built the "illusion" hut in the morning. But now, Nightfall showed up.
"I'm here to thank and apologize to you." Night's voice was hoarse and steady, without the slightest bit of impatience. It was hard to believe that Night had the bloodline of a Firebringer.
Thank me? Apologize? Angor looked at Night in confusion. Those were two completely different words.
"That Prapa who came to you for an experience is actually an employee of my Prey Gallery. Thanks to your help, Prapa improved so quickly. That's what I should thank you for. Prapa almost got into a fight with a Quicksand Demon in front of the store and almost got into the store. I apologize on behalf of Prapa. " Night spoke very casually, but when he thanked and apologized, he sounded very sincere and did not feel perfunctory.
"So Prapa is an employee of my Prey Gallery." Angor waved a hand. "It's fine. Prapa is the first customer of my store. It means a lot to me."
Angor looked at Night from head to toe. "Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Night?"
Night nodded and took out a burning black bone from inside her cloak.
"Is this … Eternal Bone Burn?" Angor looked at the burning bones in surprise.
"Yes. I was lucky enough to run into a Blackgold Nightmare when I went hunting in the wasteland. So you don't have to collect this bone. "
When Night spoke, he had the illusion that this matter was insignificant. Was it really just "luck"? Angor wondered if it was just a coincidence. Night didn't go hunting on purpose, did it?
Plus, Night came here to apologize to his employee … Angor thought that Night was a ferocious half-blood demon. Now, it seemed that Night had a kind heart despite its ferocious appearance.
Angor didn't care what he thought. But on the surface, he looked happy. It didn't matter if Night went hunting on purpose or just got lucky. Angor was the one who benefited from it.
Immortal Burning Bone cost at least 2000 gold coins, but with it, he could save a lot of money.
Angor accepted the Burning Bones and thanked the old man profusely.
"No need. Since Mister Oderklas introduced you to me, I'll do my best to help you," Night said in a plain tone. "If you run into any trouble, come to my Prey Gallery and find me."
"Speaking of trouble, my biggest problem right now is how to make money." Angor sighed. "I've been running the store for the whole day, and I only earned eight gold coins. And that's from your employees. It's so hard to find enough money to buy materials. "
"Can you give me some pointers on how to make money faster, sir?" Angor looked at Night and asked, "Can you tell me how to make money faster?"
Night did not point out any "money" path. Instead, he asked, "I heard from Prapa that experiencing the rhythm of the ocean can greatly increase one's affinity with water?"
"It's true that one can increase their affinity with water, but the extent of the increase depends on one's talent and accumulation."
"Then you don't have to look for other ways. Just continue with your business. Don't worry, when the results are confirmed, more people will come to you. "
Night sounded confident, but Angor was still confused.
"You'll know soon enough." After leaving behind these words, Night turned around and walked out of the wooden hut. He quickly disappeared into the dense forest outside.
Angor looked at the Burning Bone in his hand and sighed. "Since Night said so, I'll keep the store open. Plus this Burning Bone, I'll consider it as 2008 demon gold coins."
Fafnir, who was sleeping on the platform behind the wooden house, heard Angor's last sentence. She sneered and said sarcastically, "You treat this Eternal Burning Bones as income, but what have you repaid Night? In your world of adepts, don't you all care about equivalent exchange? "
Fafnir's words made Angor feel a little awkward.
Strangely enough, when Fafner saw Night, although his attitude was cold, it was obvious that he was somewhat on guard. Judging from her attitude, Angor could tell that Night was not to be underestimated.
Was Night, who could make Fafnir so cautious, willing to help him without asking for anything in return just because of Oderklas's words?
Oderklas told Angor that Oderklas had never met Night before. It only knew about Night because it was an old friend of Oderklas's. That friend was called "Feng".
Oderklas had never met Night before, yet Night believed him just because he said so. Angor found it strange.
Apart from family, no one in this world would give something to someone for no reason. Night gave him the Burning Bone so easily, which did not follow the principle of equivalent exchange.
There should be something fishy going on. Is it because of that "Feng"?
Angor decided that he should tell Night about this the next time he saw it. As for the Burning Bone, he would find a way to make up for it.
…
Canaan was a half-blood demon.
It was very difficult for a half-blood demon to survive in Rasudran. Even though Canaan had been here for almost ten years, it was still bullied by other demons.
For example, right now.
A trident holding demon with a snake tail stabbed Canaan into the wall of an alley. Blood gushed out from the wound.
"If you show up in front of me again, I'll kill you." The snake-tailed demon looked at Canaan with a vicious expression.
Then, right in front of Canaan, it chopped off Canaan's newly grown dorsal fin and left with satisfaction.
Canaan lay on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up.
The snake-tailed demon had Naga bloodline. However, it was not strong enough, so it only became an imp. The reason why it kept bothering Canaan was that the other half of Canaan's bloodline came from a purebred sea demon.
It was a powerful demon that ruled over the sea and ruled over thousands of sea creatures.
Sea demons were born as mid-tier demons, and they could also become great demons when they reached adulthood.
But no matter how strong the Abyss Devil Bloodline was, as long as it was mixed, it would be dragged down by the weak native bloodline. Canaan, for example, couldn't even defeat an imp.
It said that "I'm an eyesore in front of it", but it was all to take away its dorsal fin. Because it was an organ cultivated by the sea demon bloodline in its body. Its bloodline was the thickest, and it was the most valuable part.
"My dorsal fin was taken away again. It will probably take two months to recover." Canaan calculated in her heart, "If I still can't defeat it by then, my dorsal fin will probably be cut off again."
However, after its dorsal fin was cut off, its strength would be halved. It would not be able to recover much of its strength in two months of recovery. By then, it would definitely not be able to defeat the snake-tailed demon.
This was like a tragic cycle. Once it started, it would always end with its own failure.
"Mother, what should I do?" Canaan hugged her legs and curled up at the end of the alley. Tears dripped down.
After an unknown period of time, Canaan saw a river of blue light floating in the narrow sky above the alley. A look of envy flashed across her eyes, "A water type demon has advanced?"
How great would it be if I could advance too.
Canaan stared blankly at the river floating in the sky. The stream of light shone into the depths of the dark and desolate alley, as if it was shining into her dim heart.
The river disappeared. After Canaan licked her wounds at the end of the alley, she slowly got up and prepared to leave.
At that moment, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from next door.
"The one who advanced was me … Really, I'm telling the truth … You can go and try if you don't believe me … It's very effective in improving water type …"
Canaan was stunned. She recognized the demon who spoke. To be more precise, it was a half-blood demon.
Prapa.
Canaan knew Prapa, but Prapa did not know Canaan.
Canaan knew Prapa because Prapa was so weak that it was famous in Rasudran. Other demons were disdainful of Prapa, but Canaan was different. She was a little envious of Prapa.
Prapa was like her, living at the bottom of Rasudran. But Prapa lived a better life than her. Because Prapa did not have anything valuable on him, the demons would only mock him and rarely attack him. That was because it was a waste of energy.
Canaan was different. She was also weak, but because she had the bloodline of an ocean demon, she would be coveted by other demons as long as she grew fins on her body.
Under such circumstances, although Canaan was much stronger than Prapa in the past, she was still very envious of Prapa. At least it could do its best for its goal. As for Canaan, if she took a step forward, she would be beaten back to her original form by other demons.
"What is Prapa saying? It said that it was the one who advanced? "Canaan only recognized Prapa's voice before, but did not hear what Prapa said. Now that she carefully analyzed it, she actually heard an answer that surprised her.
Did the Milky Way that was filled with blue light appear because of Prapa?
For some reason, when Canaan heard this news, a part of her heart was like a peeled wall, suddenly empty. It was as if the heart had lost its pillar. After losing its support, the sky suddenly became even darker.
Prapa's goal had already taken a big step forward. But she was still in the same place, and had even taken countless steps back.
"What is my goal?" Canaan mumbled.
Canaan slowly uncovered the memories that had been sealed away for many years.
When she was discriminated against, she did not hesitate to leave her mother who loved her and came to Rasudran. At that time, she seemed to have set a goal for herself.
"I want to become stronger, stronger … so that those who discriminated against me will not dare to provoke me … Also, I want to teach that father I have never met a lesson. It was him who ruined my mother's life …"
Canaan whispered, "So, my biggest goal is to become stronger. But, can I really become stronger now? "
Prapa's voice came from next door.
"I don't know what's going on either, but my affinity with water has increased a lot …"
"That shop is in the forest near the southern suburbs … It's called Psychedelic."
