Angor was also confused. Why was it him?
Why did he become the key to this important decision that could change someone else's life?
Did Feng see it through his prophecy? Or could it be that in the wilderness of time, he was neither a step early nor a step late, and he just happened to catch up?
Angor told Night about his doubts.
Night's answer made him even more confused. "The one who came to find me might be anyone, or it might only be you."
For Night, it didn't matter who came. The only thing that mattered was the timing. Maybe Feng really saw it coming, or maybe Feng simply set up a limit for it. Either way, Night only needed to know one thing: the time was up. The other details were all prerequisites for Night's conclusion. They were important now, but they were not important anymore.
However, if Night had to answer Angor's question, it would say that "everything was already decided". In other words, Feng must have foreseen this day through some means.
Because the timing was too coincidental, Night's strength was stuck at the most crucial step, and the next step was the level of a demon lord. It also happened to complete the last step of self-control. Now, what was shackling it, other than the energy limit, was … this painting.
There were ways to solve the problem, but without Angor's help, the painting would never be able to cover the darkness in it.
Of course, Night believed that Angor was the one who came looking for it.
Night saw Angor's confused look and explained, "It doesn't matter who it is. You don't have to be responsible for my future. When Feng gave this painting to me, he already decided that the Netherflame would overturn the darkness in the painting. Such an outcome has long been predestined. You just happened to be there. "
Angor was confused. Maybe he just happened to be here. But was it really that simple? Feng chose him to be the one who could change Nightcrawler's fate. Was there any deeper meaning?
Angor didn't know. But it seemed that was it.
Angor looked at the painting again. "Then … when will Nightcrawler make the darkness disappear?"
"Darkness never disappears. It will always be there even if it's covered by fire."
Night's answer seemed to have a double meaning. What he really wanted to know was what Night would do next once the darkness in the painting was replaced by fire. Would Feng foresee what Night would do next? Would he continue to play a new role in the painting?
Night's answer to his own confusion was a light chuckle. "How fate will play out is never something that can be predicted with a single prediction. If you are still trapped in Feng's foresight, you will always be in the script. Even if this drama is not what Feng wants. "
Night's words reminded him of a joke he once read about prophecies: "A good prophecy is never written with a pen. Instead, you use scissors to cut a piece of paper into a script."
Feng's foresight might have been a random decision to cut a wordless script. Feng might not know how the script will turn out.
However, a script was still a script. No matter what happened in the script, it would not escape from the framework of the drama.
If Angor kept thinking about Feng's script, he would always think that everything he did was just a prediction, and he would always be trapped in the script.
However, fate had always been unpredictable and unpredictable, and it never followed the prescribed order.
With that in mind, he nodded with a thoughtful look.
"Let's talk about the materials." Night stopped talking about Feng and returned to the main topic. Angor's attention was also drawn.
"The earth vein fire rock needed to refine the Fire Relaying Stone only needs to be deposited for a thousand years, but the demon gold coins you gave me are quite generous, so I chose an earth vein fire rock that has been deposited for ten thousand years for you." Night paused and continued, "I've also bought all the materials for Ash Fire Dissolver. Give me one day, and I'll use Hellfire to make it."
Ash Fire Dissolver had to be made with Hellfire, which was something only Night could do.
Night took out the Earthvein Magma and other miscellaneous materials. Angor put them away one by one. Apart from the Ash Fire Dissolver, Angor noticed that Night did not give him another main ingredient — a piece of Fire Relayer Stone.
"We need a lot of Fire Relayer Stone fragments, so we don't have them yet. The goods should arrive in two to three days. "
Two to three days? Angor calculated. He should have enough time to return to Ice Valley as soon as he received the materials. He nodded to Night. "Thank you, Sir."
"Don't mention it," Night said. "I'll go and make the Ash Fire Dissolver for you. You can come and get it tomorrow at this time."
With that, Night turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Angor looked back at the painting hanging on the wall again. He saw the fire suppressed by the darkness of night, and he could almost see the Fire Relayer Stone again.
Recalling the night's tranquil appearance, he suddenly wanted to see what the night would be like when the night completely disappeared, when there was no suppression and restraint. Would it be like the Fire Relayer Demon, which turned into a sea of fire and scorched the land?
He shook his head with a smile to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts and turned to leave.
He left the hunting hall and headed to the Psychedelic Hut while thinking about his next plan. He thought he would only have to stay in Rasudran for one more day. However, due to the lack of Fire Relayer Stone fragments, he had to stay here for three more days.
Since that was the case, he decided to keep the Psychedelic Hut open.
Demons never interacted with humans, so the prices of resources in Demon Town would not change according to human demand. Plus, Demon Town had many unique materials, so Angor planned to use this chance to earn some demon coins and stock up on them.
After all, it was hard to say whether he would have another chance to visit Demon Town in the future.
Besides, even if he did visit Demon Town in the future, he would not be able to use Nightclub's connections to buy valuable demon resources.
Soon, Angor arrived at the woods where the Psychedelic Hut was located.
The fresh air and the mottled shadows of the trees made Angor feel quite comfortable. When he first came to the Abyss Plane, he only had two impressions about the place: hopelessness, and endless depression.
It was indeed rare to be able to steal a moment of leisure in such a dreary abyss.
However, this pleasant moment did not last long. When he reached the entrance of the Psychedelic Hut, he saw someone — no, a demon staring at him.
The burning fireball was glaring at Angor with its bloodshot eyes.
Angor saw a hint of sadness in those bloodshot eyes.
Angor sighed. He did not expect the young demon to be so stubborn. He went to the hunting hall for half a day, and when he came back, the little thing was still guarding the door.
Angor was careless and got caught by it.
With Fafnir inside the hut, the young demon did not dare to do anything. It only stared at Angor with those glaring eyes.
It did not say anything, but it still looked stubborn.
Angor felt his scalp going numb. Since the young demon was blocking his way, he sighed again. "What do you want? I don't want you to experience the rhythm of the ocean. It's for your own good. You're a fire-type demon. Trying to experience the essence of water will only hurt you. "
The young demon was also surprised that Angor would talk to it. It had been causing a lot of trouble outside, but the dark-skinned woman would either kick it out or ignore it completely, which made it feel very frustrated.
It did not know why it insisted on coming here. It just did not want to accept this. No one had ever treated it like this before.
"I don't care! I want to experience it!" Maybe it was because of its rebellious nature. Even if the young demon knew that the native in front of it was telling the truth, it still did not want to lose face.
The young demon spoke the language of the Abyss Plane, which was much more standard than Angor's. But maybe because it was still too young, its tone always sounded a little childish.
What a naughty child. It can't rest until it gets some milk. Angor sighed in his mind.
"If you really want to experience it, that's fine. But don't blame me for not warning you if you get hurt. " Angor paused. "We're closed for the day. Come back tomorrow if you want to experience it."
"Are you serious?" The child demon stopped glaring at Angor and asked with a doubtful look, "You mean it?"
"Yes."
"You won't kick me again?"
"As long as you don't disturb the other customers, I won't."
After getting the assurance, the young demon curled his lips and put on a proud expression. "Hmph, then I'll come back tomorrow. If you dare to break your promise, I'll burn you."
After the demon cub finished speaking, it changed its previous appearance and flew out of the forest leisurely in the air. Its black tail wagged vigorously like a little puppy that had been rewarded.
Angor shook his head and opened the door. But he suddenly felt someone staring at him from behind.
He turned his head in confusion and saw the young fire demon hopping to the side of the forest in the distance. There was a figure wrapped in a red robe beside it. The young demon was talking to the red-robed figure impatiently. Angor knew that it was the red-robed figure who was looking at him.
The red robe was wearing a hood, so Angor couldn't see its face. However, he could sense that it was looking at him while talking to the young fire demon. Angor also noticed that the gaze was filled with complicated emotions. Confusion, malice, suspicion, and wariness.
Is that the young demon's servant? Angor wondered. Judging from the way they talked to each other, they did look like servants.
Not long ago, Angor met Stephen Trofel in the Land of Repose. He was a servant of a certain Shepherdian. The young demon was a demon noble from the Abyss Plane, so it was normal for it to have a servant.
Angor ignored the man's stare. He was not going to stay here for long anyway.
