"Last night, at the underground Manda Field in the Aroma Zone, Europa praised your play in front of all the wizards who participated in the Aroma Tasting Party. She kept us in suspense with her words, but she didn't share the box with us. I saw a few witches leave the scene secretly. I reckon they were interested in buying your box. "
It was a witch wearing a floral wreath on her head and a long dress made of petals. Her figure was elegant and graceful, and her face was beautiful. However, her figure flickered from time to time. It wasn't her real body. It was an illusion projected by the transmitter on the table.
It was the projection of "Rose Crown" Leona. Angor had been busy crafting a movie box for the past few days. Now that he was ready to start studying alchemy for the new star contestants, Leona contacted him through the transmitter before he could even begin his work.
Angor looked at Leona's projection and nodded. "If they want to buy a play box, they'll have to go as soon as possible. I don't make many."
Leona raised an eyebrow. "That's all you care about? Don't you want to know something else? Like what Europa said about you? "
Angor looked at Leona in confusion. "What does that have to do with me?" Everyone liked to hear compliments. But it was too strange to ask about what someone said about him.
Leona paused for a moment. "Europa doesn't usually express such strong praise. She even contacted me this time, saying that she wants to meet you."
"Is that why you contacted me this time?" Angor didn't even think about it. "Sorry. Please tell Europa that I'm very busy."
Angor's attitude was gentle, but his refusal was obvious.
"You really don't want to meet her? She's very pretty."
Angor glanced at Leona. He knew what Leona was trying to say, but he still shook his head. "I'm not refusing. I'm really busy."
Angor pointed at a pile of notes on the table, which were filled with drawings and formulas. "I want to finish them before I leave Floating Mech City. I don't have time. "
"I realized that you're becoming more and more like your mentor. But there's still a difference between you and your professor. Your professor doesn't want to know, while you don't want to. "Leona gave Angor a thoughtful look." Alright, I'll tell her later. "
Instead of answering Leona's question, he looked at Leona and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"I don't have so many things to talk about. I just want to talk to you." Leona paused for a moment. "I'm curious. Why did you suddenly want to make a drama box? Floating Mech City had been selling all kinds of movie boxes, but they weren't all that great. Instead, they attracted a lot of negative comments. As the creator, in order to defend your own artistic value, you personally came to redefine the rules of the drama box. "
"Is that so?"
"That's an interesting excuse. It's just that I haven't risen to such a high level of idealism. It doesn't matter to me how others evaluate the quality of the drama box. Even if a gem is hidden in mud, it's still a gem. As long as there's a chance, someone will find it and polish it into something better. "
Leona raised an eyebrow. "But sometimes, no one will find the gem in mud."
"I already pointed at one of the mud pools and said there's a gem inside. Someone will go look for it." Angor had already placed the tower of the drama box there. It might be covered in mist at first, but once the mist cleared, someone would find it.
"Then what's your reason for making the drama box?" Leona was too lazy to argue. Instead, she asked the question she was most curious about.
"I promised Greya that I'd make her a drama box, so I made some of them while I was at it."
"You made some along the way?" Leona was puzzled. She thought there would be more to it than meets the eye, but this was it?
"Yes." Angor nodded.
Leona carefully observed Angor's expression. He didn't seem to be lying. Besides, there was no reason for him to lie about something so trivial.
So it's true then? But Leona still couldn't figure out what he meant by "along the way".
Leona considered. "Let's just say you made them on the way. Then why did you choose to sell them to Breeze Shop? I know some inside information about the shops in Floating Mech City. If you need a sales channel, I'm sure Mister Horus will be more than happy to help you. He can even open a shop under the name of Brute Cavern or yourself. "
As an alchemist herself, Leona knew how important Angor was to Brute Cavern. As long as Angor asked for it, Horus could do it for Angor even without Rein's permission. Opening a shop under the name of Brute Cavern in Floating Mech City would also give Angor a voice in the alchemy circle.
In the past, Brute Cavern never had such ambition because Leona was the only capable alchemist in the organization. But now, Angor had directly joined the most important research department in the southern wizarding region. Rein might not realize it at first, but once he did, he would surely set up something in Floating Mech City.
And an alchemy shop was the easiest way to enter the alchemy circle. Just take a look at Fingernail's Alchemy House. Granny Fingernail was always there. Even though Granny Fingernail didn't usually teach others, her alchemy house still became a place where many alchemists gathered to discuss.
This was why Leona was so confused. Why didn't Angor use Brute Cavern's resources and go to Breeze Shop instead?
Angor could understand Leona's thoughts.
He thought for a moment and said, "There are some reasons why I chose the Breeze Magic Material Shop. You can think of it as my repayment to Breeze Magic Material Shop. "
Leona understood what he meant. Someone from Breeze Shop did him a favor, and this was his way of repaying the favor.
"What did they do to earn such a great reward?" Leona mumbled to herself.
Angor didn't answer. Actually, his reward wasn't that great. He just wanted people to think that he had Breeze Shop's support.
However, Angor didn't add any emblems to the box, so he had a lot of room to maneuver. If he wanted to, he could keep quiet about it so that people from Abstruse Alchemy Union wouldn't dare to cause trouble to Breeze Shop. If Breeze Shop went too far, Angor could deny that he made the box since he didn't have any emblems on it. Even if everyone knew that he made the box, Angor's attitude was more important.
Even if Brute Cavern wanted to join Floating Mech City's alchemy competition one day, Angor could still act as Breeze Shop's backer. This wouldn't affect his position at all.
Therefore, in summary, he only had an ambiguous title and a few video boxes.
