To be more precise, the rainbow dragonflies would only show their non-aggressive behavior when facing Angor. Angor was the only one who could sense their emotions.
Should he try to figure out why the dragonflies chose to occupy the ruin?
What kind of secrets were hidden in the ruin?
"I can sense their emotions, but it's hard for them to express their thoughts." Angor hesitated for a moment before saying, "But they can't really express their thoughts."
"Crimson Moon, Diamond, and Flowing Light; Dawn, Quartz, and Drifting Light." His hoarse voice echoed in the carriage.
Angor hesitated for a moment before he realized what Sunders meant.
In fact, this sentence came from a classic fairy tale. It was an old-fashioned story where a young prince went through all kinds of adventures to save a princess who was kidnapped by a demon. In one of the stories, the young prince had to find a secret chamber left behind by a Priest of Light in order to find a weapon that could defeat a demon. The key to the chamber was not a real key. It was a strange riddle. The riddle was: "Crimson Moon, Diamond, and Floating Light; Dawn, Quartz, and Floating Light."
The young prince could not decipher the riddle, so he went through many obstacles and found a prophet from a neighboring country. Using the prophet's power, he finally understood the riddle and opened the secret chamber to retrieve the weapon.
Of course, Angor had heard of the story before.
Sunders had a simple meaning behind his words.
The rainbow dragonflies did not know how to express themselves completely, but that was not important. Angor could use every bit of information it revealed as a clue and a password, and he could use all kinds of methods to decipher it.
If there was no other way, there was still the "prophet" in the fairy tale. The "prophet" in the fairy tale was a character created by the author to serve the plot. It was fictional, but there were many similar characters in the wizarding world.
For example, a well-read scholar, or a prophet who sought the path of fate.
"I see." Angor nodded. He should be able to find out some information about this place.
There was a rainbow dragonfly in Angor's Nightmare Domain. Rainbow dragonflies were not intelligent, so they could not express many emotions. Sometimes, they could not even praise the moon, the queen, or Shava. However, the rainbow-colored dragonfly was able to express a lot more emotions.
Compared to the other nightmare monsters, the rainbow dragonflies were much less intelligent. For example, the Frog Chanter, the Fox Zither Player, and so on. Their intelligence was no less than that of humans, but their way of thinking and logic were different from humans.
However, there were advantages to having low intelligence. Some of the nightmare monsters, such as the ministers, respected Angor's identity as "Shava", but they still questioned Angor's actions from time to time. However, the rainbow dragonflies were different. They had low intelligence, but they were more innocent. In other words, they were easier to fool.
"As long as we can deduce the truth of the ruin, we can find a way to deal with it."
He did not want to see a ticking time bomb in front of Brute Cavern. It would be best if he could find a way to solve it.
The carriage slowly made its way back to the manor.
He went back to his soundproof room and planned to keep studying Polymorph. But after some consideration, he took out a new piece of paper and wrote something on the top of it: "Lesson Preparation".
At first, Angor did not really care about the lesson. He only wanted to earn some credit points and give some random lectures. Today, however, Horus mentioned that everyone in the alchemy circle was waiting for the news about Angor's class. Leona also showed great interest, which put some pressure on Angor.
It was his first time teaching a class, so Angor decided to take it seriously.
In the blink of an eye, the morning light tore apart the curtain of darkness and covered the main district of Floating Mech City with a bright golden edge.
The door of Fingernail's Alchemy House was pushed open.
A man wearing a robe with a black emblem walked in. He lifted the hood on his head, revealing a face with regular features.
This was a middle-aged man. Although he wasn't the handsome type, he looked very honest. However, his eyes were flickering with a sense of shrewdness and calculation. He was definitely not as simple as he looked.
The man looked around and fixed his eyes on Grandma Fingernail, who was sitting by the table and drinking hot tea.
He greeted Granny Fingernail with a smile and took a seat in front of her.
"Marion, what brings you here today? The Rising Star Challenge is about to begin, and your shop should be quite busy. "
Marion was the man's name. He owned a shop right across from Granny Fingernail. It was a shop that sold spellcasting materials.
"I need to ask you something, Granny." Marion looked around. "What's going on today? Why is there no one here? Don't you usually have alchemists arguing with you about something boring? "
Granny Fingernail did not answer him right away. Instead, she took a sip of her tea and looked at the emblem on Marion's robe.
The emblem was a circle of light that emitted mist. Inside the circle, there was nothing but darkness, as if it was a total solar eclipse.
"The emblem on your robe …" Granny Fingernail frowned. "Why did you join Abstruse Alchemy Union?"
Marion shook his index finger. "I didn't join Abstruse Alchemy Union. I just joined them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have drawn the Abstruse Mark on my robe. I'll just leave it on my skin. "
Abstruse Alchemy Union was an alchemy exchange in Floating Mech City. It did not cause too much trouble, but it did cause a lot of trouble. People like Granny Fingernail didn't like the Alchemy Union at all. This was because the Abyssal Alchemy Guild was actually an extension of the Abyssal Demon God, the Abyssal Lord, to his followers. The "total solar eclipse" was the mark left by the Abyss Lord.
"Why did you join Abstruse Alchemy Union?" Granny Fingernail looked at Marion's curious eyes and realized something. She had known Marion for many years, and she now knew why he joined the union. "To take advantage of others?"
"Not to take advantage of others. I'm just there to collect low-priced resources." Marion spoke in a serious tone, "Actually, I'm here because of this union, Granny."
Marion took out something that looked like a round plate from his pocket and handed it to Granny Fingernail. "This is an intermediate alchemy item. I did some calculations. The material cost is about 330 magic crystals, but he sold it to his members for only 350. I think he can make a profit if he sells it in bulk. But this one only costs 20 magic crystals. That's too cheap. So I'm here to ask you. "
Granny Fingernail glanced at the plate and tossed it to Marion. "It's an intermediate alchemy item. The quality is fine. But the maker used the power of the Abyss Lord."
Granny Fingernail turned the plate over and pointed at a small mark of a total solar eclipse in the corner.
"You can use it, but I don't recommend it. It's a way for the Abyss Lord to extend his power. If you come into contact with it often, you'll become one of his followers. " Granny Fingernail looked at Marion. "You don't want Floating Mech City to become a gathering place for demon followers, do you?"
Marion took the plate with a hesitant look.
Seeing Marion's hesitation, Granny Fingernail said, "You've earned enough money. I think Lawson will come after you soon."
When Marion heard Lawson's name, his body trembled, and his eyes flickered. In the end, he sighed and said, "Alright, I won't earn this money … Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have sneaked in last night. After listening to 'The Deep Is Above' for the whole night, my head hurts."
Marion paused and continued, "By the way, Granny Fingernail, you haven't answered my question yet. Why isn't anyone here today?"
Granny Fingernail sniffed her tea and spoke slowly, "They all went to take classes."
Take classes? Marion was puzzled for a moment. "I remember that the Water Pattern Witch's class was finished a few days ago. Is she going to start another class? "
"Or … Mister Vanerson's class? Wait, Vanerson's class shouldn't be so crowded, right? "
Vanerson was a very famous alchemist in Ashley Comprehensive Academy. Rumor had it that he and Jellal, the "Mithril Innovator" of the Tower of Hurricane, were the most promising alchemists to join the R&D department. However, Angor showed up out of nowhere.
Vanerson was an excellent alchemist, but he was a pioneer among the reformists. He often despised traditional alchemists in his classes, which was why most traditional alchemists refused to attend his class.
Granny Fingernail shook her head. "No, it's not Vanerson. Water Witch isn't going to start her class. But the one teaching this time is a member of the research department. "
"Research department? Is it a Grand Potion Master, or did someone return from outside? " Marion was curious. He heard that Water Witch was the only one who returned to Floating Mech City.
Granny Fingernail paused for a moment. "The one who's going viral right now."
Viral? Marion widened his eyes in shock. "Granny, you're not talking about … Angor?"
Granny Fingernail nodded. "The one you're thinking about."
"He's already back in Floating Mech City? And he's starting his class?" Marion muttered to himself for a while. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and stood up. "Are we snatching classes now? I'm going to try. "
"Why are you stealing classes? With your mediocre alchemy skills, you're wasting your seat. "
Marion continued, "I made a bet with Jim who sells witch soup next door about whether Angor has become a wizard or not. The bet is a hundred magic crystals! I have to see it with my own eyes. "
"I can tell you the answer now," Granny Fingernail said.
"Don't. Please don't tell me. I have to see it with my own eyes. That's how it feels like, "Marion said and prepared to leave.
Granny Fingernail said, "He's stealing classes today, but he'll have to wait for another four or five days. If I remember correctly, Angor will be a special judge for the second round of the new star contest. "
Marion stopped in his tracks.
"You should've told me earlier." Marion returned to his desk. The first round of the new star contest would end in the evening the day after tomorrow, while the second round would begin the day after that. If Angor was going to be a special judge for the second round, he would be able to see for himself whether Angor had really become a wizard.
"No wonder you don't have anyone here. Not only is he a hot topic now, but he's also the center of attention in alchemy circles. If he's going to start a class now, all Apothecary alchemists will go to him. " Marion often came to Granny Fingernail's Alchemy House. He was not a very good alchemist, but he knew a lot about alchemy because of his frequent visits.
"But I didn't think Angor would be able to teach now. I think he's the youngest one among Ashilie's teachers. That's a great honor. "
