"The situation at Parmigi Highlands?" Zslade considered for a moment. "Which side do you want to know, Mister Phantom?"
"Anything. If you think it's worth telling me, feel free to tell me everything."
"That's too big," Zslade muttered. Zslade muttered, "You're the first one to come to me for free information. Sigh, who told me to be unable to beat you?"
After muttering a bunch of digressions, Zslade began to talk about the current situation on the Parmigi Highlands.
Angor wasn't sure if Zslade was an informant or not. However, his analysis of the information was much more detailed than Angor expected.
Zslade's analysis was clear and logical, and he was always able to see the bigger picture from small details. For example, Zslade mentioned something about Lady Danae. "After the plane fusion failed, Lady Danae sent several apprentices from Gravity Forest to search for clues around the River of Everfrost. Speaking of which, you should know what kind of environment the River of Eternal Frost is. What kind of clues can an apprentice find there? I had my doubts back then, so I asked my robot puppet to wander around the lower reaches of the River of Everfrost. Guess what I saw? "
"I saw a group of Song of the Deep hiding in the river!"
"Song of the Deep, under Flunza's guidance, stayed at the center of the highlands. They had a fixed route, so there's no way they would go to the River of Everfrost.
"I kept an eye on them and observed their movements. Song of the Deep's members seemed to have gone to Gravity Forest on purpose, and they even hid it from Flunza! "
Hiding it from Flunza? Sunders raised an eyebrow. "People from Donsey's faction?"
Most wizard organizations had their own internal conflicts. The bigger the organization, the more likely it was to have such conflicts. Most of the time, the leader of an organization could suppress the voices of dissent and maintain a relatively balanced state. Brute Cavern was one such example.
However, Song of the Deep was different.
Flunza was the strongest member of Song of the Deep, but there was another faction in Song of the Deep, led by Donsey. Donsey's strength was on par with Flunza's, and he had a very powerful ally: the otherworld forces led by Imakan.
Now, the otherworldly forces had infiltrated every aspect of Song of the Deep. Flunza had tried his best to get rid of them, but in the end, he was the one who got himself into trouble.
Donsey and Flunza's factions were now at odds with each other. It was Nereus who ambushed him in the Abyss Plane. He was Donsey's disciple.
"That's right. Looking at how familiar they are with each other, I reckon that they have been in contact with Gravity Forest for a long time. At the time, I was thinking, with Song of the Deep's size, why would they come into contact with Gravity Forest? Thinking about the rumors in recent years, the only one I can think of is you, Your Excellency. "
"You have a grudge with Donsey's people, and Gravity Forest's people are eyeing you. I think they're planning to work together to deal with you. As for the time to strike, perhaps it would be when you were in the Abyss? But seeing that you're fine, it seems that they've failed. "
Zslade analyzed the situation layer by layer, and in the end, what he found was the truth.
Angor couldn't help but feel surprised. One should never underestimate anyone who embarked on the path of wizardry. Zslade's ability to see the bigger picture from small details showed how much he knew about worldly affairs and how to deal with people.
Zslade's words were all solid facts. Angor listened attentively. Many of the things recorded in books were actually exaggerated. Using the incident at the Parmigi Highlands as an example, Zslade analyzed the true situation of the large organizations restraining, mediating, and benefiting each other from his own perspective.
Zslade saw that Angor was paying attention and told him everything in great detail.
He also noticed that Sunders didn't stop him from talking, which meant that Sunders approved of his behavior.
Zslade's story went from noon to nightfall.
Most of the time, Zslade was the one who helped Angor build a chain of information between different organizations.
When the little bird on the wall clock chimed at nine o 'clock, Zslade finally stopped talking. He stretched his back and said, "It's getting late. That's all for now."
Angor thanked Zslade in embarrassment. He knew that most of the details were meant for him.
"Since you're my teacher, I'll let you know everything for free. You can come alone next time, and I'll tell you whatever you want to know. Also, I have a deal I want to make with you, "said Zslade with a smile.
"A deal?"
"Don't worry. I'm not going to mess with Sunders' beard. I just want to share my alchemy knowledge with you. Besides, I'm not the same as Nelson, who likes to take advantage of others. "" I'll pay for it, "said Zslade.
Angor was a little surprised when Zslade mentioned Nelson. When Angor was sent back to the Old Earth by Thewis, the first wizard he met and almost got into a fight with was Nelson. After resolving the misunderstanding, Nelson forced Angor to share his alchemy knowledge with him.
"Do you know Nelson, Mister Zslade?"
"Yes. I met him a few days ago. He mentioned you and praised you a lot." Zslade remembered that Nelson came to him not only to praise Angor, but also to invite Angor to Floating Mech City.
However, Nelson only asked for his help and did not mention anything in return. Nelson's tendency to take advantage of others was at its peak. Naturally, Zslider ignored his request.
"Very well. If I have the chance, I'll come to you alone, Mister Zslade. I have something I don't understand about alchemy as well." Angor nodded.
Sunders didn't try to stop Angor from talking to Zslade. Still, Sunders couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
From their conversation, he could tell that Angor's alchemy circle was slowly expanding.
And Sunders would never be able to join it.
As Angor's teacher, Sunders felt both gratified and a little ashamed.
When the conversation was over, Zslade looked at Sunders. "Are you satisfied with the information I told you, Mister Phantom?"
Sunders didn't say yes or no. Instead, he asked, "Apart from that, there is something else I want to know."
"Did Mister Rein show up recently?" Sunders remembered when he went to the Abyss Plane with Rein, Rein received a prophecy from Boson and hurried back to the southern wizardry region. Judging from Rein's expression, something big must have happened.
"Mister Rein? I didn't notice that. But I think Flunza went to Brute Cavern to look for Mister Rein. After leaving Brute Cavern, he disappeared from Parmigi Highlands. The people from Song of the Deep also left Parmigi Highlands. "
Although these two matters weren't related, Zslade deliberately pointed this out, which meant that he felt that these two matters were related.
Sunders trusted Zslade's intuition. Zslade was neither strong nor weak among wizards, but the reason why Sunders valued him so much and maintained a friendship with him was because of Zslade's keen intuition. Sometimes, when someone mentioned something, Zslade would immediately find out what was wrong with it.
His intuition was so strong that he could easily tell if a person was lying or not even using the Truth Verification Spell.
"I see." Sunders nodded. He would find out more when he returned to Brute Cavern.
"There's something else I want to know, Mister Rein. Do you have any idea as to why the plane fusion failed?"
Zslade shook his head. "No. But there are rumors that an outside force caused the failure.
By the way, Maya came back from Starliege Church. Why don't you ask her? She might know something. "
Sunders nodded. He didn't really care about the reason for the plane fusion failure, but the incident happened in Brute Cavern's territory, so he had to keep an eye on it.
That was the end of the conversation, for it was already evening and Zslade invited them to dinner.
Sunders didn't have much time to eat in the Abyss Plane, so he accepted the invitation.
The atmosphere at dinner was great. Since Angor was back in the wizarding world, he felt a lot more relaxed, and the familiar food helped him to eat more.
After dinner, Zslade invited them to stay for the night, and Sunders agreed. Zslade wanted to talk to Angor about alchemy in the evening. However, when he went to Angor's room in the middle of the night, he found that Angor wasn't there.
…
Inside the Gravity Garden.
Angor came to the familiar open-air study. Bobota was sitting on the ground in a daze. He didn't dare to touch Sunders' books or enter the study area.
When he saw Angor, Bobota finally came back to his senses.
"Now that we're back in the southern wizarding world, we can let go of many things. I'll take you to Dodoro when we're back in Brute Cavern. After that, I'll find a way to take you to Little Sparrow. "
Bobota whispered, "Thank you."
Angor sighed. Before he could say anything else, Sunders showed up in the open-air study.
Sunders sat down in front of the desk and glanced at Angor. "Now, tell me. About Blackfeather, and how did you escape? "
Angor was about to speak when Sunders interrupted him again.
"Before you say anything, tell me the truth first. You didn't cause any trouble this time, did you? "
Angor didn't say anything.
"Fine. Looks like I was expecting too much from you." Sunders rubbed his temples. Every time Angor did something, he would get a headache. Even if there were great benefits to be gained in the end, the process was still too scary.
"I hope you didn't cause too much trouble this time."
Angor didn't say anything, which made Sunders' heart skip a beat.
He calmed himself down and looked at Bobota. "Never mind. We'll talk about you later. Let's start with you."
