Grafting Fiend?! "You mean the Witch of East Sea?" Angor looked at Portia with a serious expression.
Portia nodded. "So you've heard of her 'name' as well."
"East Sea is also a member of the research department. She never missed any of the past ceremonies. No matter who the new members are, she always threatened them with death. Speaking of which, when I joined the department, she once threatened to sew my mouth shut and transplant the back door of the Stinky Beast into my mouth. " Portia gave Angor an example with a cold look. "Don't think she's joking. She's a lunatic. She's capable of doing anything."
"Well, she didn't show up this time. So, you're quite lucky. "
Angor complained in his mind. It wasn't that he was lucky. It was just that East Sea was still running for her life in the Abyss Plane.
Back at the City of Floating Mech, Angor wondered if East Sea was a member of the research department, and it turned out to be true.
If East Sea really showed up here, they would probably get into a fight. She was an unreasonable person.
Angor sighed. He didn't know many alchemists. Apart from Brute Cavern, East Sea was one of them, and the other one was …
"Is' Mithril Innovator 'Jellal a member of the research department?" Angor asked.
Portia shook her head. "Jellal isn't quite there yet. But I heard that Muse has been observing him in secret. We all thought he'd become a new member in a few years. We didn't expect you to show up at such a time."
Angor felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to say that it was just a coincidence, but he didn't want to make others think that he wasn't confident enough.
But before Angor could say anything, Muse cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention.
"Not long ago, I was talking to Angor about Mechanical Armament, and his opinion gave me a lot of inspiration. Sigh … I thought we could talk more, but Antonio told me that some of you are getting impatient, so I had no choice but to come and take care of things here. " Mou paused for a moment before sweeping his gaze across the crowd. "I've already told you the reason why I called you here, so I won't repeat it here."
"I don't like procrastination either. Let's prepare to witness the ceremony now. The sooner we finish, the sooner you can be released."
After Muse finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at each other as if they had something to say, but no one took the initiative to speak.
At this time, Antonio, whose body was emitting blue light, suddenly appeared beside Muse. "Sir, before the witness, we need each member to make a statement."
Muse frowned. "How troublesome. Do you have anything to say?"
It was Portia who spoke first. She shrugged and said, "I don't have anything to say. I have high hopes for my little brother."
Portia smiled at him. It was obvious that Portia had taken the initiative to show her friendliness and kindness.
He was fighting Brofen a second ago, and the next second, he was brought to the R&D department. Before he knew what he was supposed to do, he was being judged by everyone. It was too much for him to handle. However, Portia's smile did make him feel a little relieved.
Mithra also expressed his opinion. "I have high hopes for Angor as well. His unique way of thinking may inject new life into the R&D department."
After Mithra finished speaking, the conference room was silent for a long time. No one spoke.
When everyone was looking at each other, Granny Fingernail broke the silence. "I also think Angor has great potential."
A strange voice suddenly spoke up, "Potential is an uncontrollable variable. Potential is potential, and it hasn't turned into actual strength yet. There are still many gaps in between that he needs to cross. "
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a figure slowly appeared in the middle of the long table. It was this person who had said those words.
Everyone frowned when they saw the figure.
Angor looked at him and saw someone he had never seen before. The man was wearing a long, sharp mask with a black beak. The left half of his face was covered with mechanical parts, while the right half of his face only showed a pair of red eyes. He was also wearing a tall hat with gears engraved on it, and a trench coat with gears on it.
Angor could tell that this man was a mechanical alchemist.
"He's an alchemist from Lida's Fellowship. His name is Magus Stone. Be careful," Portia whispered to Angor.
Magus Stone? Angor thought for a moment, but he still couldn't remember who this person was. However, he was familiar with Lida Fellowship. It was one of the wizard organizations under Moonfrost Union's jurisdiction.
Just like how Candy House and Dark Castle were under the jurisdiction of Fairytown, the Lida Fellowship was one of them.
The relationship between Angor and the Moonfrost Union was still in a delicate state, which was why everyone frowned at Magus Stone's sudden appearance.
After all, this was the most important R&D department.
They didn't want to get involved in this department, but that didn't mean they didn't care about it.
They didn't want their conflicts to be brought into the meeting room of the department.
But now that Magus Stone had spoken, they couldn't stop him.
"The potential I'm talking about is different from what you think," Granny Fingernail said. Granny Fingernail said, "The potential that you are talking about is the limit of what you are capable of. The potential that I am talking about is something even further away."
Maybe it was because of Granny Fingernail's sarcasm, Magus Stone's expression turned cold. "So you're supporting him because of the rumor that he once touched Mystery, Granny Fingernail? That makes sense. Ivo did touch Mystery items before. "
Ivo? Angor heard a familiar name. Not long ago, he saw a Mystery item displayed on the top floor of R&D, and the name was "Ivo Sprit".
So this man had something to do with Granny Fingernail?
"Rumor that he touched Mystery items? Heh, that's not a rumor. I'm sure you know whether it's true or not. " Granny Fingernail nodded and said, "The fact that he has come into contact with the Realm of Mysticism is the biggest reason why I support him. Let me ask you, is there anyone else here who touched Mystery items? You? "
Granny Fingernail's meaning was clear. Being able to touch Mystery items meant that Angor could join R&D department.
And there was no room for argument.
Unless Angor had touched Mystery items as well, there was no room for discussion. Angor and Granny Fingernail were completely different.
Magus Stone was speechless. Indeed, this was a dead logic. Did he really have the right to say that "touching Mystery items doesn't mean anything"? Even if he really thought so in his heart, he reckoned that if he said these words, not only would the people present scoff at him, but he would also be laughed at outside.
"Alright, I can accept that. However, this can only be considered as an observation at most. Isn't it a little too fast to give him the treatment of a member?" Margus didn't dare to refute and could only change his words.
"Who's going to observe him?" It wasn't Granny Fingernail who spoke this time. It was Mithra who had been enjoying the show.
Magus Stone was surprised. He suddenly remembered that the director of R&D department was in charge of observing Angor, and the fact that Muse was the one who suggested this meeting meant that something was wrong.
"What is it, Magus Stone? You have something to say about this meeting, don't you?" Muse asked.
Margus opened his mouth, but he suddenly did not know how to refute. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence. "His skills have not reached the level of an official member, right?"
Muse chuckled. "Speaking of alchemy skills, I've been meaning to ask you for a while now. There's a popular video about you doing alchemy on the sea. I can't tell anything from the video, but your final product should be a high-tier item. Is it true?"
Magus Stone was surprised by Muse's question. He actually forgot about that. If Angor could really craft a high-tier item, it meant that his claims about his skills weren't up to par yet.
That was because it wasn't easy for many so-called master alchemists to go back and refine high-level products.
Magus Stone also looked at Angor with an unreadable expression.
Could an apprentice who wasn't even a wizard really craft a high-tier item? He had seen the video, but he couldn't believe it without seeing it with his own eyes.
It wasn't just Muse and Magus Stone. Everyone else was looking at Angor.
They all looked at Angor with different emotions. Some were indifferent, some were curious, some were suspicious, and some were encouraging him.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Angor considered for a moment. Ocean Rhythm had been exposed to the public for a long time. Apart from Brute Cavern's apprentices, Kim, and the demons, who knew about its specific effects, the only people who knew about it were the demons.
As for his shop in the Abyss Plane, there was no record of it in Firefly's Night Tales. Perhaps it was due to the awakening of a demon. Even if there was a record of it, no one knew what Ocean Rhythm could do.
In the end, Angor decided to show the item to everyone.
He knew that hiding his strength in front of alchemists who valued their skills would only lead to unnecessary trouble. Only by showing his talent could he be respected.
When Ocean's Rhythm was placed on the table, everyone was attracted by its perfect appearance.
Even though they already saw the video, they were still amazed when they saw the real thing.
The mermaid in the gauze dress, the twinkling starlight, and the dark conch shell that carried the faint sound of waves … all of them were pleasing to the eyes.
Leaving the effect aside, the appearance alone was enough to prove that Angor had a good sense of aesthetics.
