As long as he decided to leave, he could leave anytime. But before that, there was something else he needed to do.
He reached his spirit feeler into the bracelet.
As expected, he saw the same thing as the last time he came here.
Bobota was busy studying the nest. Little Sparrow, who was wearing a yellow dress, floated behind him and leaned her head on Bobota's shoulder. It looked like they were close friends. Just like Bobota, Sparrow was also studying the nest. She and Bobota would talk about it from time to time, which made Angor feel a little embarrassed. He should have cared about this matter, but he didn't.
"Big brother?" Flower Sparrow turned around in less than a minute after Angor sent his spirit feeler into the bracelet.
"It's me," Angor answered calmly. "Yes, it's me."
Bobota was about to stand up, but Angor stopped him.
"Keep studying. I won't disturb you. But I need to talk to Flowey alone, so I'll take her out first, "said Angor.
Bobota's face turned pale. He looked a little worried.
Angor smiled. "Don't worry. I'm not taking Flowey away. I just need to talk to her about something."
Even so, Bobota still looked a little sad. After spending several days with his sister, he was so happy that he even tried to avoid certain things. Now that Angor said he wanted to talk to his sister alone, Bobota remembered the things he didn't want to think about.
Whether Flower Sparrow would be taken away or not, Bobota wouldn't be able to stay with her for long.
When his body collapsed, his soul wouldn't even belong to him anymore.
The interactions of the past few days were like a beautiful dream, but there would be a day when the dream would be awakened. Bobota couldn't help but feel sad when he faced the reality.
Flower Sparrow looked at Bobota's expression and knew what he was thinking.
Her expression quickly changed from helplessness to hesitation. In the end, she seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath and said to Bobota, "I'll be right back. Don't worry, I'll stay with my brother."
After saying that, Hua Zhuque felt her soul slowly being drawn in.
She did not struggle. Instead, she followed the pull and disappeared from the bracelet, leaving behind Bobota with a sad face.
When Little Sparrow opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dark and spacious quiet room. Other than a long table and chair, there were only black and white checkered tiles, dim lighting, and a cold atmosphere.
Angor sat in front of a long table. There was an ancient bronze lampstand in front of him. The flickering oil flame in the glass only illuminated the area several meters around him.
Flower Sparrow looked at Angor who was sitting in front of the table. For some reason, she felt something different about him.
The flickering firelight made his facial features even more distinct. His blue eyes were tinged with a faint glow as if something was growing in them.
Even though there was clearly no change to his appearance, Hua Queque felt that he had become more stable and powerful.
She had only been in the bracelet for a few days, so how could there be such a drastic change? What happened in the past few days?
Angor looked at Flower Sparrow who was floating in the air. "You know what I'm here for, don't you?"
Hua Que Que regained her senses and nodded.
"Have you made up your mind? Do you have an answer? "Angor looked at Flower Sparrow and waited for her answer.
Three days ago, he sent a message to Flower Sparrow and told her about his deal with Isabelle.
Flower Sparrow could choose to stay or leave Dark Castle with Angor.
He gave Flower Sparrow several days to think about it. Now that the Feast of Purification was over, it was time to give her an answer.
"I'll be leaving Dark Castle in a few days, barring any accidents. I hope you can give me a definite answer." Angor looked at Flower Sparrow's innocent face and softened his tone. "Trust me, I'm not trying to pressure you. I'll support you no matter what you choose."
Hua Queque lowered her head and thought for a while. It only took a few seconds for her gaze to change from hesitation to determination. She raised her head with a rare solemn expression. Coupled with her baby fat cheeks, she gave off the illusion of a little adult.
"Can you stay for a few more days, big brother?" Flower Sparrow asked.
"Why?"
Flower Sparrow hesitated. "I saw something in my vision. I think it'll only take a few days for us to cultivate a Soft Metamorphosis Worm. So, big brother, please stay for a few more days."
"That's the only reason?" Angor blinked.
Flower Sparrow nodded.
"I understand." Angor nodded and accepted Flower Sparrow's request. As long as he stayed for a few more days, he would be able to obtain a Soft Morphing Worm. This was definitely a win-win situation.
However, Angor also understood Flower Sparrow's attitude. She didn't want to leave with him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Angor to stay. She could still cultivate the Soft Metamorphosis Worm if she went with him.
Angor didn't really care about the Soft Metamorphosis Worm, but he was more curious about something else. "Why do you want to stay?"
Angor would respect Flower Sparrow's decision. In fact, Angor believed that it was better for Flower Sparrow to stay with Isabelle since Isabelle was a soul wizard from the Order Faction.
However, Angor believed that Flower Sparrow would choose to go with him. Bobota was still in his bracelet, and he couldn't leave Bobota in Dark Castle. Angor wondered why Flower Sparrow chose to stay.
"I want to change," Flower Sparrow said without hesitation. "Lady Isabelle once told me that as long as I cooperate with her experiments, I will become even more powerful." Hua Queque replied without hesitation, her clear eyes filled with determination.
"So, you just want to get stronger?" Angor was surprised by Sparrow's answer.
Flower Sparrow nodded. "Yes. But … that's only one of the reasons."
"What about the others?" Angor was curious.
Hua Que Que was silent at this moment. After a while, she lowered her head and stammered with an embarrassed and even ashamed tone, "Can I make a deal with big brother?"
Angor was waiting for Flower Sparrow to come up with another reason, but Flower Sparrow suddenly jumped to another topic.
"A deal?" Angor looked at Flower Sparrow's guilty expression and found it funny. "Why don't you tell me about it?"
Hua Qique's little face was twisted into a ball, and wrinkles were all around her nose.
Angor chuckled. "I don't know why you're looking at me like that, but don't feel embarrassed. I'm sure you've learned a thing or two about wizards. There's a well-known rule in the wizarding world — equal exchange. Wizards are always willing to make deals.
"You don't need to feel guilty because of your feelings. As long as I accept your offer, it's a done deal."
Flower Sparrow still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Angor's words. She felt ashamed that Angor had helped her a lot, and she still wanted to ask for more.
But on second thought, Angor and Flower Sparrow didn't really care about who did more.
When they first met, Flower Sparrow gave Angor information about Greya and offered to give him the Soul Orb she needed to survive. Angor took pity on her and set up an illusion for her.
Later, Flower Sparrow gave him a necklace, which helped him escape from Bobota's clutches.
As for bringing Bobota to Flower Sparrow, it was because he promised Bobota. Of course, it was also because he felt sorry for Flower Sparrow.
However, it was hard to quantify the friendship between them. There was no such thing as "who gave more" or "who gave less".
Flower Sparrow hesitated for a moment before she stammered, "I … um … Metamorphosis Worm, I want to —"
"So you're saying that you're going to use the birth of a Soft Morphing Worm to make a deal with me?"
Flower Sparrow nodded with a flustered look.
Angor considered for a moment. When he saw Flower Sparrow and Bobota studying the Metamorphosis Worm Nest together, he found it funny. He gave the siblings some time to spend with each other, but Bobota took Flower Sparrow to study the Metamorphosis Worm Nest. Later, Flower Sparrow told Angor not to blame Bobota. She was the one who suggested the idea.
Angor asked her why she chose to study the Metamorphosis Worm Nest.
Flower Sparrow's answer was "to help Bobota", but she didn't really mean it. It was obvious that there was more to it than meets the eye.
Now that he thought about it, Flower Sparrow probably already wanted to make a deal with Bobota.
"May I?" Flower Sparrow was a little uneasy.
"Of course." Angor nodded without hesitation. Metamorphosis Worms were extremely valuable. One could say that there was not even one Metamorphosis Worm in the entire southern wizardry region.
What Flower Sparrow wanted was more than just a live Metamorphosis Worm. As long as the Metamorphosis Worm Queen was still alive, the Metamorphosis Worms could continue to be born.
This was a huge benefit.
As a bargaining chip, the Metamorphosis Worm Queen was definitely worth a lot. Now, Angor had to see what Flower Sparrow wanted in return.
Flower Sparrow must have thought about it carefully before making this offer. Now that he thought about it, he wondered what Flower Sparrow would ask for.
Angor looked at Flower Sparrow and waited for her answer.
