Devil Flower Spirits were actually a type of flower spirits. Despite their name, they had nothing to do with the demons of the Abyss Plane.
They were born from a carnivorous Flower of Evil. By manipulating desires and illusions, they could lure mortals into becoming fertilizer for the Flower of Evil.
Mortals who managed to escape would describe them as man-eating demons, which was why they were called "Devil Flower Spirits".
Devil Flower Spirits were born with the ability to manipulate desires and emotions. They were also a type of fantasy creature that could create Demonic Blood Gems. If the Zeal of Fate required Demonic Blood Gems, it would definitely improve Shirley's talent.
Greya nodded. "The Demon Flower Monster's Bloodstone is a perfect match for Shirley's power. But Devil Flower Spirits are rare. It won't be easy to find their Demonic Blood Gems, will it? "
"It won't be easy, but at least it's better than running around aimlessly. Besides, we're in Floating Mech City. Things that are hard to find outside might not be here. "
If he couldn't find anything, he could use his authority to check the vault of the research department.
Greya didn't fully trust Angor's experiment until she saw the results. Still, she nodded. "Alright, let's give it a try. Candy House has some connections in Floating Mech City. I can ask them for you. "
Greya didn't fully trust him yet, but Angor knew that if Shirley could use the Zeal of Fate to suppress Toby's emotions, the plan would work.
Toby's biggest problem was not knowing about the Will of Resentment. The danger brought by the unknown was the most deadly. If Angor could use the House of Heart to turn the unknown into something he already knew, he would be halfway to victory.
If he could try a few more times, he would be able to learn from his failures. By then, no matter how strong the Will of Resentment was, Toby would be able to deal with it easily.
With that in mind, Angor looked at Shirley again.
He had initially thought that it would be very difficult for him to break out of this predicament, but who would have thought that it would be resolved so quickly? And Shirley was the key player in all of this. Angor recalled how he felt when he met Shirley not long ago. When he learned that Shirley could sense emotions, he had a feeling that Shirley might be useful to Toby.
And as it turned out, his hunch was right.
If it weren't for Shirley, he most likely wouldn't have been able to achieve his goal so easily.
"My promise remains the same. If you help Toby, I'll give you a gift that suits you best," Angor repeated.
"I can't wait to find out what you're talking about, Mister Padt." Charley grinned from ear to ear.
"That will depend on whether you can suppress Toby's emotions in the end."
…
After finalizing the plan, they began to act separately.
While Greya went to contact Candy House, Angor left the manor. He planned to visit Fingernail Alchemy House to see if he could find any useful materials there.
There were fewer people in Floating Mech City compared to a few days ago. Most apprentices had left the city after the competition. However, although the number of people was small, the enthusiastic atmosphere had not been reduced. They were still immersed in the aftertaste of the Rising Star Competition.
The atmosphere even reached Fingernail Alchemy House.
The hall on the first floor of Fingernail Alchemy House was usually crowded with apprentice alchemists discussing their ideas. However, Angor noticed that they weren't talking about anything related to alchemy at all. They were only talking about the interesting details of the Rising Star Competition, the strength of the contestants, the future plans of the seeded contestants, and so on.
Since the Rising Star Competition was a rare event, Angor believed that the atmosphere wouldn't stop anytime soon.
He ignored the apprentice alchemist's gossip and went straight to the counter.
Ever since Granny Fingernail left for the Ancient Inferior Realm, the counter was now being sold by the puppet named Neha.
Since Angor used Illusion to change his appearance, Neha didn't recognize him. "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" Neha asked in a calm tone.
Angor listed all the materials he needed in one go.
Most of them were used to create an alchemy platform that could support the "Zeal of Fate" magic array.
"Antique Platinum, Mithril Silver, Stargold Stone that fell from the ancient ice … We have all of them in stock. But I'm sorry, we don't have any Demon Flower Stone."
Angor already expected this, but he was still disappointed to hear Neha's confirmation.
"Then do you know where I can find a Demon Flower Stone?" Angor asked.
"I don't know." Neha hesitated.
Neha was obviously hesitant. Angor was a little confused. He considered for a moment and handed his ID card to Neha. "What about now? Do you know where I can find a Demon Flower Stone? "
When Neha saw Angor's name, he quickly changed his attitude and spoke in a more respectful tone, "I have some information, but I can't confirm it yet. But I can ask around for you. "
With Angor's permission, Neha entered the secret room. It seemed he was really going to ask for more information.
Since Neha wasn't back yet, Angor didn't have anything else to do, so he decided to listen to the apprentices talking about the Rising Star Competition.
These gossips were mostly about love and hate, as well as some verbal sparring between fans and anti-fans. Among them, there was a person who especially worshipped Huan Lu who was arguing with a fan of Onassis. The commotion attracted everyone's attention.
Angor found it quite boring. There was no grudge between the two main characters. Instead, it was the fans who were fighting each other.
Apart from these trivial things, Angor also heard about Keely and Jebra.
Keely and Jebra were the center of attention because of what happened in Perfumed Square. From the discussion among the apprentices, Angor learned what happened next.
Apparently, the compensation had been settled. However, the Fragrance Alchemists were still angry about it.
Keely and Jebra were blacklisted by the Fragrance Alchemists. Before the blacklist was removed, they wouldn't be able to buy perfumes anymore.
What surprised the apprentices was how quickly the news spread. Not only the Fragrance circle, but also the entire alchemy circle was enraged. They all thought that Keely and Jebra would be banned from the alchemy circle by the end of the day. They didn't expect that only the Fragrance Alchemists would blacklist them. And it was only on the surface. They didn't do anything about it behind the scenes.
It sounded strict, but in reality, the punishment was nothing more than raising someone up high and letting them down gently.
Judging from the direction of the wind, it was obviously a little strange. All the apprentices were puzzled. What was going on behind the scenes? Did someone use their connections to cover up this matter? But who could do something like that?
Little did they know that the target of their suspicions was eavesdropping on them.
