Angor didn't want to answer Greya's question directly.
Greya could see that Angor still didn't want to tell her.
She sighed. "Fine. Let's put aside your flawed experiment for now. What's the result of the experiment?"
"As I said, there are some problems with the experiment. Toby triggered the resentment in his dream —"
"In other words, the experiment didn't work?"
"Well, you can say that from the results," Angor said. However, the experiment I designed wasn't a complete failure. As long as I could solve the problem of Toby's resentment in the real world, I could let Toby experience the calamity repeatedly in his dreams. That will solve Toby's problem as well. "
Greya raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me. How do we solve this problem?"
Angor didn't know how to solve the problem yet. He had to make up a random excuse. "The only solution I have is to use some external force to suppress Toby's emotions in the real world so that he won't break Mister Froste's seal. Then I'll be able to do something in his dream. "
"Then what do you mean by 'outside force'?" Greya asked.
Angor shrugged. "I haven't figured it out yet."
"Haven't figured it out yet? Ha … "Greya scoffed." Then everything you said before is pointless. "
"Well, it's not pointless. At least we have a solution now, right?"
Toby's situation was very special. He had to face his calamity alone, and no one could help him. Even a mighty existence like Froste, a legendary existence, didn't have a safe way to help Toby face this calamity. They could only suppress the resentment to delay Toby's attempt.
Therefore, the only solution they could think of was to increase Toby's success rate before he had to face the true calamity. However, they couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard they tried. Greya had no choice but to use Devil Training to improve Toby's strength.
Even so, Devil Training couldn't do much for Toby. Toby's body might get stronger through the training, but he wouldn't need to use his physical strength to face the calamity.
Greya's Devil Training was meant to strengthen Toby's willpower. Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.
As long as they could solve the problem of Toby's emotions in reality, they could train Toby in the dream and truly increase the success rate of Toby's tribulation.
Greya knew it was a good idea, but …
"Mister Frost was the only one who could suppress Toby's resentment. Do you think we can find someone as powerful as Mister Frost again?" Greya paused. "Or, do you have a way to contact Mister Frost?"
"No." Angor shook his head.
"Then this path still won't work." If this path didn't work, she would rather train Toby.
"Let me try. Maybe I can find a way to suppress my emotions?" Angor did not want to give up on this idea.
Greya chuckled. "I'll be waiting for your good news then."
Greya didn't believe that Angor could find someone who could suppress Toby's emotions. Shally was the only one who could sense Toby's emotions, so there was no way Angor could do anything about it.
Greya glanced at Shayleigh.
He saw that Shirley was pondering with one hand resting on her cheek, while the other hand was holding a magic cane … and raised it high.
"What are you doing?" Greya was confused.
Shally hesitated for a moment. "Mister, if you want to suppress your emotions … I can help."
"You can suppress your emotions?" "Didn't you say that you can only sense emotions?" Shalee frowned at Angor.
Greya also looked at Angor. If Shally could really suppress her emotions, then Angor's suggestion might work.
"I'm born sensitive to emotions," Shally said. "That's why I like to collect items that contain strong emotions and obsessions."
Angor knew about this. That was why Shally stole Alan's Beast Cutter.
"I once found a Dove's Blood Gem by chance. The gem contained a strong murderous intent. It was so strong that anyone who obtained it would meet with misfortune. I was only a beginner Apprentice at the time, and I was affected by the gem. But I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I tried to suppress the killing intent. "Shirley paused for a moment." Maybe it's because I'm quite talented, but I succeeded in the end. "
As Shirley spoke, she took out a ruby from her spatial pouch.
This ruby wasn't a bare stone, but a brooch. The ruby's frame was wrapped in a very exquisite mithril, and its curved shape was extremely elegant. There were also small sparkling diamonds on top of the mithril, which made the gem look like a blood-red star.
Even Angor, as an alchemist, couldn't help but admire the beauty of the gem. This ruby brooch was obviously made by a mortal craftsman. To be able to make it to such an artistic level, it was definitely the handiwork of a master.
"This is the Dove's Blood Gem I used to suppress my murderous intent on." Shally handed it to Greya.
Greya inspected the item carefully and frowned. "Why does it look so familiar?"
As a witch, Greya would occasionally pay attention to ornaments. The design of the brooch reminded her of something she heard about ten years ago.
"Is this the Crimson Heart of the Xitu Royal Family?" Greya muttered.
"As I recall, the Crimson Heart was stolen by a bandit during a grand ball held by the Xitu Royal Family." Greya looked at Shally.
Shally said she "accidentally found" the Dove's Blood Gem. Was that really so?
Shally didn't change her expression at all. "It is the Crimson Heart. When I was holding a magic show, I saw a lady putting it in a drawer. I thought she didn't want it anymore, so I brought it back."
"That drawer … It's not locked, is it?" Greya asked.
Shirley nodded confidently, "That's right. Just because it's locked doesn't mean she needs it. It's just like how many people keep their impossible thoughts in their minds. They say they can wait until the day they die, but they won't be able to remember it until the day they die. Isn't this useless? "
Locking something in your mind and locking it in a drawer were two different things! Greya rubbed her temples. She was getting a headache.
This Shally was an egoist who only cared about herself. Even if it was something that belonged to someone else, she would use sophistry and self-justification to take it away.
There were many people like her in the wizarding world. Greya didn't bother to correct Shally. She reached for the gem and inspected it.
Just as Shirley had said, there was a faint murderous intent that was almost equivalent to a 'curse' coming from the gem. However, this murderous intent wasn't released. Instead, there seemed to be a layer of gloss around the murderous intent, preventing it from leaking out.
