Angor paused a little when he heard Huston's name.
He was familiar with Huston's name.
Huston was an employee of Barbie's Restaurant, also known as the Eyeless Man.
After Greya's death, all the employees of Barbie's Restaurant were forced to scatter. Most of them were captured as personal chefs, and some were even sold off as slaves.
Huston was one of them.
After he was captured, he was put up for auction at the Twilight Auction.
Angor caused a huge ruckus at Twilight Auction because Toby went crazy when he saw Huston being sold off in a cage. For Toby's sake, Angor almost caused the destruction of Midnight Sovereign.
Unfortunately, Huston was still not rescued.
In the end, "Fiery Lotus" Lydia bought Huston's body.
"I made a deal with Lydia to buy Huston from her," Angor said. "I didn't forget about it. When I'm done here, I'll settle the deal. "
Greya nodded at Angor. "Thank you. I'll prepare the crystals for her."
Greya planned to save Huston herself, but she didn't have a body right now, which made it difficult for her to do so. So, she asked Felicia to contact Lydia. Two days ago, Felicia told her that Lydia didn't agree to the deal.
So, she had to bring the matter back to Angor because it was Lydia who made the deal with Angor.
That was why Greya mentioned it in a vague way.
Greya felt a little embarrassed. Huston was her employee, and she didn't want to trouble Angor.
Angor didn't mind. Since he was the one who started the deal, he should be the one to end it. Besides, the Eyeless Man was like a family member to Toby.
"Speaking of Houston, it reminds me of Greasy Bird Neo, Tom Weasel Ewe, and the others I saw at Barbie's Restaurant. How are they doing now? Also, when are you going to reopen Barbie's Restaurant? "Angor asked while fixing his bow tie in front of the mirror.
"Neo and Iyou have already returned to Candy House. As for the other employees, those who can be found have either returned, been captured like Houston, or … are already dead." Greya's eyes dimmed. "Barbie's Restaurant can only be reopened after I find my body."
Greya wasn't sure if she could find her body in the Nightmare Realm, which was surrounded by legendary monsters.
"Enough about me. Let's talk about you."
"Me?" Angor glanced at Greya again. What's there to talk about? "
"I heard from Mithra that you already have a nickname?" Greya asked curiously.
Two days ago, the headmaster and Master Mithra came to Angor's manor. The headmaster asked Angor to increase the number of students attending his class, but Angor refused.
Master Mithra didn't come here to listen to Angor's lecture. He was here to talk about the content of Angor's lesson.
Before Master Mithra left, Greya had a private talk with Mithra because she needed a potion to help her body and soul fuse together.
Greya and Mithra didn't just talk about potions. They also talked about other things, including Angor's appointment as a special judge.
Mithra told Greya that Angor already went to Antonio and registered his new nickname on the entrance card of the research department.
Greya was curious about the answer.
Angor hesitated and nodded. "Sort of."
Although a nickname wasn't necessary for a Magus, it wasn't necessary. However, Angor's popularity in Floating Mech City never died down. Strange nicknames such as "Music Box Warlock" could be heard everywhere.
Last time, when Angor went to Fragrant Pavilion, he heard Shan telling her brother about the story of "Baron Milk". She didn't mention his name, but Leon knew Angor's hobby too well. He often gave Angor strange looks.
To avoid this embarrassing situation, Angor decided to use this chance to come up with a new nickname.
"So, what is it?" Greya asked curiously.
Angor didn't answer. He waved a hand to disperse the mirror and prepared to leave.
Greya followed him and gave him a doubtful look. "I heard from your professor that you have bad taste in naming. Are you too embarrassed to tell us?"
Angor stomped his foot. "I think my nickname is better than King Kong Barbie."
When Greya narrowed her eyes and gave him a dangerous look, Angor added, "Anyway, I'll show up on the screen when I become a special judge. You'll know then."
Angor left the manor alone and headed to the Tower of Infinity.
Before heading to the Tower of Infinity, he opened a door that led him to Munshi's Magic Material Street.
Since the Rising Star Competition was about to begin, Munshi's Magic Material Street was deserted. Angor opened a Void Portal right in the middle of the street without anyone noticing. Even the Rune Detectors that were always on alert above the street were nowhere to be seen.
Angor entered Granny Fingernail's alchemy hut.
The Nail Alchemy House was still empty. Due to Angor's classes, the students had all gone to snatch his classes, so Nail Alchemy House was empty. But today, when the Rising Star Competition was about to begin, Granny Fingernail's hut was still empty.
There was no one on the first floor, but Angor could smell the fragrance of flower tea coming from the second floor.
When he arrived at the hall on the second floor, he heard someone speaking to him in a soft voice. "Wizard Padt, you're here."
Angor followed the voice and saw Farrina, the Water Witch, chatting with Granny Fingernail in front of a table.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I had to take care of something." Angor apologized.
Farrina was one of the judges for the preliminaries, so they agreed to meet here so that they could go to the Tower of Infinity together.
"There's still an hour before the competition starts. It's not too late." Farrina suddenly noticed Angor's outfit, and her eyes twinkled.
"Now I'm starting to wonder if the Phantom Island's recruitment criteria are based on appearance. I think Wizard Padt is going to charm a lot of young girls today. "
Angor smiled politely. "If we're talking about looks, Miss Farrina, I'm sure you'll have a higher status than me in Phantom Island."
Angor wasn't trying to flatter Farrina. Even though Farrina always wore a thin veil over her face, her features were already stunning enough.
Farrina covered her mouth and giggled. "You sure know how to talk better than your professor."
Farrina put down her teacup and stood up. "Since you're already here, let's go."
After bidding farewell to Granny Fingernail, Angor and Farrina flew toward the Tower of Infinity together. As members of the research department, they had special privileges. Even if the Rune Eyes in the sky saw them, they wouldn't be noticed.
Soon, they saw a tall tower that pierced through the clouds, the top of which could not be seen at all.
The tower had a unique shape. From afar, the top and bottom of the tower were very narrow. However, the center of the tower, which was about the 100th floor, was the widest.
Their final landing point was also the widest level.
They stepped on the clouds and landed on the stage. Farrina explained as she led Angor deeper into the tower, "This level is also called the heart of the Tower of Infinity. The biggest arena in the tower, the Infinity Arena, is here. "
The so-called Infinity Arena was a bit like a Rubik's cube. The arena itself was a large open space. Every time a match was held, the terrain would be changed according to certain prerequisites. Just like a Rubik's cube, a new world would appear on the other side.
Whether it was a lava field, a dense forest, an ocean trench, a barren wasteland, or even a pure vacuum, the Infinity Arena could be found inside the Rubik's cube.
Because the repair and opening of the Infinity arena cost a lot of money, unless it was a battle between official Magi, the Infinity arena would not be opened to the public.
But this time, for the sake of the Rising Star Competition, an exception was made. Several matches would be held in the Infinity Arena. The preliminary and final matches would be held here. If there were important matches in between, they would also be arranged there.
