As Viking spoke, there was a knock on the door of the inner room.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Snow came in with the female puppet. Due to Angor's terrifying aura, Snow was still scared and didn't dare to look at Angor's direction.
"Mister Super Dimension, here's the Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone you asked for," Snow said with a trembling voice. The female puppet quickly presented a tray to Angor.
At the center of the tray, there was a blood-colored stone that didn't look very eye-catching.
However, as the candlelight inside the room shone on it, Angor could see some beautiful patterns on the stone. They looked like they were made later, but they merged perfectly with the Bloodstone.
If he stared at the patterns for a long time, he could almost hear a strange laughter echoing in his ears.
Angor's eyes glowed as he looked at the crimson stone.
Countless runes emerged from the stone and turned into data, which was then poured into the "server" he created in his mind space.
It was Narda's Vision!
As Angor grew stronger, his vision and knowledge expanded, which greatly improved the efficiency of the "server". As soon as the data on the stone entered the "server", Angor combined the knowledge he already had in his mind to identify the stone.
It was a Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone! Moreover, the quality was of the highest quality.
Normally speaking, Angor would use one Demon Bloodstone each time he activated Fate's Zeal. Here, a Demon Bloodstone was of medium quality. However, if a Demon Bloodstone was of high quality, it meant he could use Fate's Zeal more often.
A Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone of such quality could activate Fate's Zeal twice.
"What do you think, mister?" Viking asked.
Angor nodded in excitement. "Yes, it's exactly what I need."
Hearing this answer, Viking's face also revealed a relaxed smile.
"How many magic crystals for a Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone of such quality?" Angor asked.
Viking quickly shook his head. "I promised you that I'll give you a Demon Flower Spirit Bloodstone. It's not enough to repay you for saving my life, but it's still a token of my appreciation."
"That's just a promise. I never fulfilled it. I also said that it was just a matter of convenience. You don't have to keep thinking about it. "
Viking: "But …"
"I'm already grateful that you're willing to sell me the Demon Flower Monster Blood Stone under such circumstances. There's no need to fuss over a few magic crystals. "
Also, I'm going to buy a lot of Demon Flower Stones this time. You can give me one or two, but what about hundreds of them? Can you do it for me? "
Viking was going to say something else, but after hearing Angor's explanation, he stopped himself from saying anything else. It was not that he was convinced by Angor.
"My Lord, you want more than one Devil Flower Demon Bloodstone?" Viking asked hesitantly.
"Yes. The more the merrier. What's wrong? Is there only one? "
Viking shook his head. "There are indeed about a hundred left in the warehouse. Manager Flandy sent someone to deliver them a few days ago. However, the manager's plan is to temporarily seal these Demonic Bloodstones …"
"Sealed? Why? "
Viking hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Angor the reason.
After listening to Viking's explanation, Angor finally understood.
As it turned out, Flandy already had two plans. On the one hand, Flandy would use the Demon Flower Stones as a prohibited material and refuse to sell them to Abstruse Alchemy Union. On the other hand, if Abstruse Alchemy Union really wanted the Demon Flower Stones and was willing to pay a high price for them, Flandy would sell them to Abstruse Alchemy Union so that Breeze wouldn't suffer any losses.
"Breeze isn't a big shop in Floating Mech City, and we don't have many people to help us. This is our only option," Viking said helplessly.
Take the shops on Munshi's Magic Material Street for example. The relationships between the shops were complicated and the corresponding forces were intertwined. Even if they refused customers, they were not afraid of retaliation — this could be seen from the fact that they had rules for entering their shops.
However, Breeze didn't have much influence in this city. If they went against a giant monster like Abstruse Alchemy Union, they would probably be eaten alive.
Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, Flandy made two preparations.
If Angor only wanted one or two Demon Flower Stones, Viking could make the decision. But judging from Angor's current situation, he probably wanted all of them.
That would ruin Flandy's plan, and Viking couldn't make a decision on his own.
Angor considered for a moment. If he were in Flandy's position, he would agree with Flandy's decision. He could understand Viking's hesitation. However, this wasn't enough to stop him from buying the Demon Flower Stones. It was a matter of life and death for Toby.
What he needed to think now was how to convince Viking to sell the stones.
If he could use his power, he would get what he wanted. However, this was not his style at all. It didn't mean that Angor was bound by morality. He just had a certain level of restraint when it came to his desires. If there was no other way, he wouldn't have been kidnapped.
Was there any other way other than using power to oppress others?
There had to be.
But he still needed to think about how to do it in a way that would allow Viking to accept it and explain it to Flandy with the least cost.
He considered for a moment and said, "How about this …"
…
By the time Nie Yan left Breeze Magic Material Shop, the sky was already dark. The light of the setting sun shone on the wide Sunset Avenue. The metal on the ground reflected a faint red light as if the avenue led to the end of the sunset.
"The sunset glow is the last lamp that the day bestows upon the passersby." The faint tone of a young man's voice rang in her ears.
Angor didn't look back. "Starlight is the tower of dreams given to the Sleepless Man by the night."
"I knew it. Talking to you, sir, makes me feel like philosophy is still alive." Onassis looked at Angor with a bright smile. "Only Red Beard can talk to Viking."
"Be that as it may, you still care about this Sleepless Man who walks in the day and builds his dreams in the night."
Onassis smiled but didn't answer. He nodded to Angor and said that he needed to go back to his place. Then he walked to the other side of the street.
Angor raised an eyebrow. "So it's not on the way."
Onassis left Breeze together with Angor. Even though it was not on the way, he still walked with Angor for a while. Probably because he wanted to tell Angor about what he just said.
The Traveler and the Sleepless Man, a philosophical story about trust.
The Traveler traveled in the day to pursue his dreams. The Sleepless Man built a tower at night to light up the path.
Even if they were separated by day and night, even if they would never see each other again, their trust built a bridge that allowed them to realize each other's dreams. While Onassis sounded like he was lamenting the sunset, he was actually saying that he hoped Viking would not misplace his trust in him.
Of course, Viking trusted Angor.
