Angor paused his movement.
King chuckled. "So my guess was right. He's the one you're looking for. "
How did King know about his intention? Angor looked at King and wondered if King had something to do with the owner of the Crimson Crown. Or were there two people who caused the tragedy in Padt Manor?
If that was the case, it would be better to capture King now and hand him over to Thewis for interrogation.
"You look dangerous," King said. Gold said softly, "I can roughly guess what you're thinking. However, I don't have any connection with the person you're looking for. I just happened to know some things about him."
Angor didn't believe him. He just stared at King.
King raised his hands and feigned innocence. "Fine, I guess I have to explain. It's simple. Haven't you wondered why I told Feline and Henry to go to Grue Town? "
"Because I sensed Mister Red Hair there." King continued, "Red Hair Thewis came to the Old Earth with us. I was curious about what he was doing here, so after several months of searching, I found out where he was.
"Then, I sent Feline and Henry to scout for him."
"How did you know who I'm looking for?" Angor asked.
King's eyes glinted. "I once learned that there's someone on the Pulsatilla who has close ties with the Goman Royal Family. Mister Red Hair's background isn't a secret in the south. He's working for the Goman King.
"I also asked Mister Red Hair, and he didn't know about the other person on the Pulsatilla. So I was curious. What's going on with them?
"I don't know why you're related to Mister Red Hair, but when you came to me to ask about the supernatural on the Pulsatilla, he was the first person I thought of."
Angor believed King's words. It wasn't because King's eyes didn't flicker. It was because Angor's cantrip showed that King's physiological responses, such as pupils, blood flow, heartbeat, and so on, were all normal.
At least Angor didn't find any lies.
"Who is this' he 'you're talking about?"
Seeing Angor's threatening look slowly returning to normal, Kim knew that he had passed the test. King never intended to show weakness to Angor. When he first accepted the quest, he never intended to do it peacefully.
However, even though Kim was experimenting in the underground cavern, he did not neglect the Silver Star in the warehouse above ground.
He saw Angor fighting against Silver Star, and he also noticed Angor's aura. Even through the thick earth wall, Jin could feel the pressure coming from the bottom of his heart. He did not feel this way even when facing his master. This meant that Angor's power had exceeded the limit of what he could handle.
At the same time, it also meant that he would lose if he tried to fight Angor head-on.
Facing such a situation, Kim adjusted his tone and attitude to avoid conflict with Angor as much as possible.
King said, "I can tell you, but according to the principle of equivalent exchange, I hope to use this information to make a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"I'm sure you already know who I am, but before that, I need to introduce myself." Kim stood up and bowed slightly. "You may call me Kim, from Song of the Deep. My master is Jebra, also known as the 'Child of Sea'."
Jebra? Angor raised an eyebrow at the familiar name.
At first, he didn't really care about Jebra's existence, but now, he realized that Jebra wasn't a threat at all. However, ever since he was almost killed by Sliv at Saint Sem City, his attitude toward Jebra changed. Although he was not on Jebra's side, they were definitely not on the same side.
When Kim mentioned that he was Jebra's man, Angor already knew what kind of deal Kim was going to make.
"If you want me to use the Ocean Rhyme, I'm afraid you don't have enough." Angor considered. "Also, you should know that this has something to do with Thewis, not me. I'm just asking on behalf of Thewis."
"Of course I know. I don't have enough information to trade for such a treasure. However, I would like to use this information to gain the right to experience the Ocean Rhyme once. Is that okay? As for the energy needed to activate the Ocean Rhythm, I can provide it. "
Angor did not answer right away.
He looked like he was considering, but he had already made up his mind. He didn't lose anything in this deal. However, if he agreed so easily, it would make others think that the Ocean Rhyme was too cheap.
As for whether this would create a potential enemy … Angor already had a business deal with demons. Why would he worry about humans?
Besides, being cautious was necessary, but overdoing it would only mean that he lacked confidence in himself.
About two minutes later, Angor nodded. "Sure. But I don't need the energy. You can't afford it anyway."
Kim's eyes lit up. "Also, I have another request."
Angor frowned and was about to tell Kim not to be greedy, but Kim beat him to it. "My job is to get the Ocean Rhyme from you, Mister Kim. But I can't do that right now. My deal with you is a private one, so to avoid trouble, I hope you won't tell anyone that I've experienced the Ocean Rhyme. "
Angor didn't think this request was too much. Besides, he didn't think anyone would ask him about it. However, King still said these words just in case. It could be seen how cautious he was.
"Of course."
Kim sighed in relief. He wasn't worried that Angor would go back on his word, so he decided to tell Angor about the person he knew.
Angor frowned. He didn't know who this person was. But since Kim was so confident, it should be true.
After Kim finished, Angor took out the Ocean Rhyme right in front of him.
Under Kim's greedy gaze, Angor activated the item.
Speaking of which, Gold was the first apprentice other than Tulu to test the rhythm of the sea. Nobody knew what kind of effect it would bring.
When Jin woke up, it was already five minutes later.
The first thing he did was to look at Angor. To his surprise, Angor was nowhere to be seen.
Silverstar whispered, "Mister Kim, the guest left when the blue light enveloped you."
A look of regret flashed across Kim's face. However, compared to this trace of regret, there was more excitement in his eyes, as well as an indescribable excitement.
He looked at Silverstar and said, "I need to rest for a while. Keep an eye on my lab and don't let anyone in. Also, when you find the undercurrent in the pool, send a message to Bai and tell her that I'm training in seclusion. If she asks about Angor, tell her that you don't know. I'll deal with it when I wake up. "
…
He left the farm and returned to Gondola in the snow.
White Bear was looking at him anxiously, waiting for an answer. Sunders leaned against the railing and whispered, "You don't need to make a deal with him. There are plenty of ways to get answers from him."
Angor knew that he wouldn't be able to fool Sunders about what happened down there. As for what Sunders said, Angor had thought about it before. But in the end, he chose to accept the deal because Kim knew how to control the situation well. Everything Kim talked about was well within Angor's limits.
Moreover, from his words and actions, as well as many details, it could be seen that King was not only smart but also very scheming. If Angor couldn't subdue someone as cunning as Kim, he might have something else up his sleeve.
Angor wasn't worried about Kim's retaliation. But Kim was backed by Song of the Deep, an organization that could rival Brute Cavern. Who knew if Gold had something similar to the 'Blood Essence Soul Enchantment' that could be used to contact the people of Song of the Deep? So, if they could obtain it in a simple way, there was no need to complicate the situation.
"He's telling the truth, isn't he?" Angor asked.
"Yes," Sunders nodded.
"Good. Otherwise, I'll lose the deal."
White Bear listened with a puzzled look. "You found Kim? Did he mention the Extraordinaire on the Pulsatilla? "
"Not only that, but Kim also knows who we're looking for." Angor briefly explained what happened. He didn't hide the details of the deal.
"I've never heard of him before. His name is Roland."
Angor looked at Sunders, who shook his head. It seemed Sunders didn't know who Roland was either.
White Bear was also confused. He repeated Roland's name over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out what to do.
"According to Kim, this Roland doesn't have much of a presence on the ship. He always wears a black cloak, so Sunders never saw his face. Also, the name was given to him after Sunders tried to get close to him. It's also a name we don't know. "
As for how Kim knew about Roland's relationship with Goman Kingdom, it was because of a small incident.
At that time, on the Pulsatilla, this Roland was provoked by a talent. The other party thought that Roland was also a chosen talent like him. With a little bit of friction, the talent began to clamor.
This was normal. When ordinary people were found to have a talent for cultivation, their sense of superiority would be magnified, as if they were the center of the world. During this period, the number of people who did something outrageous would greatly increase.
That was what happened to Roland. However, the talent ended up kicking an iron plate.
As a supernatural, Roland didn't fight back at first. He only acted when the talent was about to attack.
Because of this, Kim noticed that there was another supernatural hiding on the ship.
One had to know that before this, even Gold had thought that Roland was an ordinary person!
Roland's supernatural status didn't cause too much of a commotion. When he dealt with the talent, he did it very discreetly, so no one noticed.
But Kim noticed it. Not only that, but he also saw half of Roland's emblem flashing by when he attacked.
Only half of the emblem was visible, but it was very special. After some comparison, Kim confirmed that it was the emblem of the Goman Kingdom.
