"Angor?" Dave was puzzled.
Angor took off his hood and showed his face.
"It's really you? Why are you here? And why are you fighting against the Chloe Brothers? " Dave walked out from behind the middle-aged man and introduced Angor to him. "Master Prome, this is my friend. His name is Angor."
"Master Prome?" Angor looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He didn't expect Dave's friend to be the famous Prome of the underground market.
Prome was a little chubby. He was wearing a purple wizard robe decorated with gold and silver ornaments, which made him look very elegant.
"So this is the Angor you've been talking about all the time." Prome seemed to be talking to Dave, but his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. The pit behind Angor, as well as the dog and human corpses lying around it, did not escape his eyes.
"Greetings, Master Prome," Angor greeted Prome with noble etiquette.
Prome nodded. "Not bad, kid. You single-handedly took out two apprentices, and even made the Chloe brothers hesitate to attack."
Dave looked at Angor in surprise. He also noticed the corpses in the distance.
"Pudongo the Dog Herder? Angor, did you kill him? " Pudongo the Dog Herder was quite famous in the underground market. He was one of the "Three Heroes of Summoning".
Angor could not deny it since the corpses were right there. He could only nod.
Dave opened his mouth and tried to say something, but he did not say anything in the end. Prome suddenly said, "Dave, why don't you stay here and catch up with your friend? I'll go alone."
Dave was surprised. He quickly shook his head. "No, no, no. I'll visit Angor another day. Master Prome is crafting a mechanical energy core today, and I can help him."
Dave winked at Angor and left with Prome on the path.
Angor walked to the giant pit after Dave and his apprentices left. Dave did not realize that Prome killed two apprentices because he thought it was only the Dog Herder. Angor knew that Prome was talking about the naked woman at the bottom of the pit.
Angor stood at the edge of the pit and looked down. His heart skipped a beat.
The woman was not alive, but she died a horrible death. There were huge wounds from her chest to her abdomen. Her yellowish fat, blood, and intestines were all exposed to the air, which gave off a horrible stench.
Looking at this tragic corpse, it was hard to imagine that this was a beautiful woman not long ago.
"Toby, that explosive power of yours … That's terrifying." Angor spoke after a long silence.
Before he learned the sequence of gravity, Toby's speed was terrifying. He could not do any damage as long as his target was protected. But now, Toby's explosive strength had directly pushed a living person into such a deep pit. Toby was also incredibly fast. Combined with his explosive power, the damage he could inflict was not something that could be measured by "1 + 1". Angor suddenly felt that he could reach the top of Sky Tower with Toby's help without using any alchemy weapons.
Toby raised his head proudly and began to mumble something under his breath.
"Go to the sky and alert me if anyone comes. I'll bury these two." Angor asked Toby to fly higher. Meanwhile, he planned to throw the Dog Herder into the pit and bury him there.
The process went smoothly. The two apprentices had nothing on them except their bone cards and Sky Tower information cards. Angor also learned that the woman's name was Biloth from the bone cards.
It took Angor some time to collect all the golden arrows he shot. However, there were too many plants in the forest, and some of the golden arrows were lost somewhere. Angor had to give up on them.
After collecting about 30 golden arrows, Angor asked Toby to leave. The man and the bird slowly walked out of the forest.
This was Angor's first time seeing someone die. For some reason, he only felt something like this when he first saw Biloth's body. But that was just a natural reaction. After staring at the scene for a while, he soon returned to normal. Maybe it was because it was Toby who did it, which made him feel unreal. Or maybe it was the "survival of the fittest" mentality he had been building up since he joined Brute Cavern.
Either way, he did not regret what he did this time. If they did not provoke him, they would not have ended up dead. Good and evil happened in a split second. Once you made a decision, you had to pay the price.
…
On the other hand, Dave was following behind Prome. They had left the forest, but he still looked back from time to time.
The fact that Angor killed Canine Master shocked him greatly. Dog Herder Pudongo was one year older than him, and two years older than Angor. He joined Brute Cavern ten years ago. Dog Herder was not a strong fighter. He was also one of the three useless Summoners. However, Dave was sure that he was not as strong as Dog Herder.
But this Canine Master, whom he could not even defeat, was killed by Angor. Angor's wizard robe was not stained by even a speck of dust. It showed how easy it was for Angor to kill Dog Herder.
This was unbelievable! Dave still remembered when he went to see Toby to test Propeller Flyer II, Angor was not a mortal yet. When he asked about it, Angor told him that he had "poor talent for training". Dave believed him! And he believed it!
Poor talent for training? Dave suddenly realized that Angor had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
"Your friend's monster is quite powerful. The Chloe brothers were about to be killed by it, but we gave them a chance to escape." Prome was now a level-three apprentice, so he was much more knowledgeable than Dave.
Dave remembered how he called Toby's name, and Toby stopped. Otherwise, the Chloe Brothers would have died.
Was Toby that strong too?
Why did he say "too"?
"Next time you go to him, don't forget to apologize. You ruined someone's plan and let the enemy escape. I'd hate you if I were him, "Prome said.
Dave also remembered what happened. Master Prome was walking in front of him, so he saw the fight between Angor and the Chloe Brothers first. David remembered that Master Prome had stopped. He did not say anything, nor did he step forward to interrupt the fight. Instead, he was the one who curiously looked at the fight and called out Toby's name.
Dave felt a little uncomfortable when he recalled the whole thing.
Just as Prome had said, if he hadn't shouted, the Chloe brothers might not have escaped.
"I know. I'll go apologize to Angor tomorrow." Dave felt a little down. He did not mean to help Angor, and he might bring trouble to Angor in the future. This made him very sad.
Prome looked at Dave's expression and smiled. "Don't worry. You know how the Chloe Brothers are. They only care about each other, and not about anyone else. Even if they want to get revenge, they won't join forces with others. Your friend is strong enough to deal with the Chloe Brothers. Actually, it's more likely that the Chloe Brothers will run away. "
"Yeah." Dave knew how the Chloe Brothers were like. They were famous in the underground market of Apprentice Town Eight. However, people were fickle. Who knew if the Chloe Brothers' personality was different from theirs?
"What did Angor do to offend them? Why did they attack him? I don't think Angor would do something like that, "Dave mumbled.
"Well … Maybe I can figure it out," Prome suddenly said.
David looked at Prome with a confused expression.
"Here. Take a look." Prome took out a small golden arrow from his sleeve and handed it to Dave.
Prome took the arrow. "Is this an arrow? It looks ordinary. No special energy waves. But it's made of Starfrost Gold … Huh? Is this an arrow for a bow-type alchemy weapon? "
"No." Prome shook his head.
Dave thought it was a new weapon made by Prome, so he inspected it carefully.
"If it's a bow-type weapon, this golden arrow is too small. Could it be a crossbow, a very small crossbow type weapon? "David asked.
Prome did not answer the question directly. "I think this is the reason why those people attacked your friend."
"Attacked Angor? Because of this golden arrow? Could it be that this arrow wasn't made by a master? "
Prome shook his head again. "Your friend released this arrow from his sleeve. I think he has some kind of long-range alchemy weapon that he can control at will. I saw it from afar. It's really powerful. Two or three seconds later, it could even destroy the Chloe Brothers' Fire and Water Barrier. Judging from Dog Herder and Red Butterfly's temperament, they must have taken a liking to this alchemy weapon. That's why they're here. "
"This is Angor's alchemy weapon? Did his professor give it to him? Wait, I never asked who his professor is, "Dave mumbled. He suddenly realized something." Red Butterfly is here too? "
Crimson Butterfly was Biluth's code name in Sky Tower. She was a notorious woman in the underground market. Greedy, licentious, perverted, treacherous — these were all synonyms for this woman. She was not a strong fighter, but she relied on her coquettish ways to gain connections with several powerful apprentices. Because of these people, no matter how bad Bilus was in the underground market, no one dared to do anything to her. It was a way of showing respect to the people behind her.
"That's right. Red Butterfly joined the attack. Too bad she died in that hole. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a tragic death for such a beauty. "Prome recalled the scene he saw with his spirit feelers and couldn't help but sigh.
Dave's face turned pale when he heard about Red Butterfly's death.
If Angor only messed with Chloe Brothers, it would not matter. But if Red Butterfly's people found out about it, Angor would …
"You're worried about your friend?"
"Yes."
"Scarlet Butterflies, in the eyes of Vice and the others, are nothing more than feces that are casually thrown away. However, her own methods were very good. She created the illusion that she had a relationship with Vice, and she walked very well on Vice's bottom line. She enjoyed Vice's halo to the outside world while not provoking Vice. She's not an ordinary woman. But that's all. She's too narrow-minded. Even if she dies here, she won't cause any trouble. " Prome continued, "But I'm more curious. Who made that alchemy weapon that can shoot golden bolts? A long-range weapon that can be controlled at will with high instantaneous frequency and damage. It's really something. "
