Froste had noticed Toby a long time ago. He could see that Toby was special, but he wasn't too curious. There were too many strange creatures in this world, and Toby wasn't one of them.
However, since Angor put Toby in front of him, Froste took a careful look.
"What a strange creature. It's not allowed to exist in this world, but it's also accepted by the world," Froste commented. "I'm afraid it's one of a kind in this world. Even in Phantom City, it's qualified to be an upper-class citizen."
Seeing Angor's puzzled look, Froste gave him a simple explanation.
Phantom City was a strange city in the Origin World. Its full name was "Gruz Dayward's Phantom City". There were many strange creatures in the city, which Gruz Dayward classified into three classes of citizens. Those at the top of the pyramid were considered upper-class citizens.
"However, it is said to be a city of magical creatures, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is more like Gruz Howard's private confinement garden. That's why people don't like it. But that doesn't stop them from thinking about it. People in the Origin World will always think of Phantom City when they talk about strange creatures. "
After Froste finished introducing the Phantom City, he added, "Gruz Howard is an expert in the study of magical creatures. I heard that he is a good person, but when he sees rare creatures, he becomes extremely greedy. So, if you have a chance to visit the Origin World, don't go to Phantom City. Otherwise, if he sees your little pet, heh. "
Froste suddenly chuckled. His smile looked calm, but Angor felt a chill running down his spine.
"Toby's not my pet. He's my friend," Angor said.
Froste raised an eyebrow. "Alright, your friend."
Froste took Toby from him and gently stroked the creature's feathers. The greyish feathers, coupled with her fair hands and the three rings on her fingers that shone with a mysterious light, gave off a sense of incongruity.
"Its situation is very interesting." Froste stroked Toby's head a few times and seemed to understand the situation. He then said in a graceful and soothing tone, "This is the first time I've seen a creature evolve by defeating an emotion that has fused with its flesh. This should be a unique way for it to evolve, right?"
Froste already knew a lot about Toby before Angor even told him about it. Angor was impressed by Froste's insight.
Angor didn't try to hide anything and told Froste about Toby's origin as well as the Five Flavors Disaster.
"You want to save it?" Froste understood what Angor was trying to do.
"Yes, I want to save him."
Froste said, "Its current situation is similar to when you became an official wizard. This is a way for it to level up. I don't mind you interfering with it. "
"But, if we don't use external intervention, can it survive?"
Froste pondered for a moment and said with certainty, "No."
"Then I'd."
Froste gently rubbed Toby's cheeks with his fingers and put the creature back on the table. "If you really want to, it's not impossible."
Angor's eyes brightened up. This was the first time he heard Froste speaking positively about Toby's abilities.
"However, once an external force intervenes, it may bring about great trouble in the future. You have to think carefully."
"What kind of trouble?"
Froste shrugged. "That depends on how far you want to go and what choice you make."
Angor considered for a moment. "Can I talk to someone about it?"
Froste nodded.
Angor stepped out of the door. Soon, an envelope with a pair of white wings flew out of the room and slowly went into the pocket of a female apprentice. The apprentice didn't know that she was carrying an envelope. She walked down the stairs and stopped at the fourth level of the nest. It seemed she was going deeper.
A gust of cold wind picked up the envelope and blew it into another apprentice's body.
The female apprentice came to the ice cave from the hive. When she stood outside the ice cave, the letter flew past her shoulder. She sighed and said, "I think there was a white shadow." The letter then disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.
Soon, the letter arrived in front of Greya's face.
Before Greya could open the letter, it turned into a puff of fire, from which Angor's figure was revealed.
"Such a clever illusion connection. Even I was fooled." Greya looked at Sunders, who was sitting in front of her.
"There are still traces of illusion nodes. It's not worth mentioning," Sunders said with a blank expression.
Greya rolled her eyes at Sunders. She didn't know why, but she could see the smug look in Sunders' eyes.
"What a man," Greya muttered in her mind and looked at Angor's illusion.
Angor told Greya what happened when he went to find Isabelle and Froste, as well as what Froste told him.
He had already made up his mind, but Greya was still the one who created Toby. In a way, Greya was like a mother to Toby. He had to talk to Greya about Toby's future.
"Save him!" Greya said without hesitation.
Using external forces to interfere with Toby's life might lead to complications, but at least Toby wouldn't die. But Toby had no chance to survive without outside help. Greya did not even need to think about which choice to make.
"Plus, it's not a permanent injury. There's always a way to deal with it."
With Greya's answer in hand, Angor returned to Froste's room. Froste looked up. The gears on his bronze mask slowly turned as he spoke. "I see you've made your choice."
"I won't give up on Toby," Angor said with determination.
Froste nodded. "Since you've made up your mind, let's analyze the situation."
"Toby's body is special. Apart from a frame, you can't even see his own soul or flesh. "Therefore, the so-called Calamity of the Five Flavors can be simply described as using the emotions of the Five Flavors to enrich the framework and connect the soul and flesh within."
"Once Toby overcomes — or rather, conquers — the Toby will be able to truly transform, and he will no longer be limited by his original body.
"Therefore, Toby's problem isn't limited to his body or soul. We need to look at the root of the problem."
This was also the problem that troubled Isabelle and Greya. They couldn't find the root of the problem at their current level, but for someone like Froste, it wasn't hard at all.
Once the root of the problem was found, there would be many ways to solve it.
However, no matter what method, as long as there was an external force involved, they would have to deal with the "resentment" inside Toby.
"Based on my own assessment, I've removed some of the riskier methods. You have two choices.
"I think the risk of the first option is the lowest."
Froste took out the pitch-black flute and placed it next to Toby. "It is currently in the midst of the Tribulation of Extreme Resentment. The resentment, jealousy, viciousness, and evil that it emits … all of these emotions are actually a form of malice. You can use the Dark Symphony to gather all of them together and turn them into the Visage of Evil. "
The so-called Face of Evil was the personality formed by the resentment in Toby's body … Bird's frame.
Just like Roland, Toby would have two different personalities. One would be normal, and the other would be the Visage of Evil. As long as Froste controlled the Dark Symphony, Toby would be able to suppress the Visage of Evil and behave like a normal person. When Toby was in trouble, the Visage of Evil could also boost his strength.
As far as Froste was concerned, this was the least risky option.
However, Angor still felt uneasy. It was like planting a remote-controlled bomb inside Toby's body, and the controller was in Froste's hands.
Leaving one's life in the hands of another meant losing one's freedom forever.
If Angor had to choose, he wouldn't choose the Dark Symphony.
"The second choice is to suppress the resentment inside Toby's body."
To put it bluntly, it was a simple and violent method.
Given Froste's power, he could easily restrain the resentment inside Toby's body and suppress it.
"The resentment inside Toby's body is its own problem. It won't be easy for external forces to resolve it. Besides, it's very risky and might even be permanent."
Froste wasn't lying. He could help Toby resolve the resentment. However, as he said, Toby would only be satisfied if he defeated the Five Flavors Tribulation.
If Froste tried to resolve the resentment, Toby would never be able to achieve it.
It was very likely that Toby's future path would be ruined.
Therefore, Froste chose a compromise. "Suppress the resentment.
It's very risky. But at least the resentment won't be destroyed. The resentment will still have a chance to resolve itself, and it won't affect Toby too much in the future. "
However, the more Froste tried to suppress the resentment, the stronger it would become in the future.
As Toby grew stronger, the resentment would grow stronger as well. If the resentment inside Toby's body was like a mayfly right now, one day, the resentment inside Toby's body would become a giant beast.
