Angor's question and answer lasted for about ten minutes. Rhine didn't show any expression on his face, but he was smiling and nodding in his mind.
Angor's answers were just like his character.
He might not have a strong sense of belonging to Brute Cavern, but he had a strong sense of belonging to Phantom Island. In other words, as long as Phantom Island was still in Brute Cavern, Angor would be safe.
After spending hundreds of years with Sunders, Rhine was certain that Sunders would never betray Brute Cavern. So Angor should be fine too.
After confirming this, the part that Rhine felt was missing and worried about was also perfectly filled.
He could now use Angor as the core of Brute Cavern's development and make some arrangements for the future. For example, Angor's identity as a member of the research department could allow Brute Cavern to arrange more apprentices to receive alchemy education from Ashilie, which was what Brute Cavern lacked the most in the past. Now, Angor's identity helped Brute Cavern.
The puzzle piece would provide a large number of talented alchemists to Brute Cavern, which was an important indicator for the future development of Brute Cavern. Because of this, Rein had to test Angor's attitude because Angor was too important.
Of course, since Rhine wanted to use Angor's identity, he would compensate Angor in other ways as well, such as providing more resources.
After confirming Angor's attitude, Rhine smiled. "Questions and answers are mutual. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me now."
Rein asked because he noticed that Angor had been hesitating ever since he arrived. It seemed like Angor wanted to say something. Therefore, he gave Angor a chance to ask.
To Rein's surprise, Angor remained silent even though he asked Rein to lead the conversation.
What kind of topic was it that made him want to say something but stop, yet he was hesitant to ask?
Rhine was very curious, but he didn't urge him. He just waited quietly. He was sure that Angor would ask if Angor really had a question.
After two minutes of silence, Angor finally spoke.
"Mister Rhine, if there is a day when I have to do something that will affect the entire wizarding world, should I do it?"
Rhine waited for a long time. He didn't expect to hear such a question.
Did he mean … he was going to use his ultimate move? Moreover, it was an ultimate move that would affect the entire Magus World?
"Have you asked Sanders?"
"There's no need to ask."
It was a simple answer, but it had a lot of implications. Was it because he already knew Sanders's answer, or was it because Sanders would also be involved, so there was no need to ask?
Rhine's mind was spinning, but he didn't show it on his face. "Whether you do it or not depends on the consequences of doing it."
"It's very risky," Angor replied after a moment of consideration.
"Since there's a risk, you still want to do it. Does this mean you'll get more benefits from it? "Rein didn't force the question. Instead, he helped Angor analyze the situation.
"Yes, not only will I benefit, but many others will too. Maybe … "Angor paused for a second." Maybe we can change the current situation. "
Rhine's pupils shrank. Change the current situation?! Did Angor mean he was going to do something that could move the gears of history?
Rhine remembered that the last time the world changed was when Floating Mech City pushed the "Steam Road" forward a thousand years ago. Most countries on Fey Continent relied on steam trains to shorten the distance between each other.
Now it seemed that the steam trains were very useful, not only to the wizarding world, but also to the mortal world. But that was from the perspective of future generations. A thousand years ago, the "Steam Road" project was a real "bloody road".
The "Steam Road" affected too many people's lives.
Many countries had to pay the price of local wars. Some of Evron's sworn enemies even started all-out wars because of the "Steam Road" project. The number of casualties was uncountable.
However, at that time, such a huge commotion was only in the mortal world. At least the wizarding world was peaceful on the surface. There weren't many people who openly opposed the "Steam Road" project.
If Angor wanted to move the gears of history as well, should he continue to use mortals as leverage, or …
"You mean the mortal world will be affected?" Rhine asked.
"Maybe. But the wizarding world is more likely to be affected," Angor said.
Rhine looked away without saying anything, but his mind wasn't as calm as before. Angor was going to change the entire supernatural world …
"What do you think are the risks?" Rhine asked carefully.
Angor considered what would happen if the dream wasteland was really launched. "External threats and distrust."
By external threats, Angor was referring to the terrifying creatures roaming around the Dream Realm. When he tried to build the dream wasteland in the Abyss Plane, he was destroyed by a single slap. Without a powerful force to protect it, the dream wasteland would be easily targeted. The dream wasteland in the southern wizarding region was built because of Shava.
As for distrust, it was even easier to understand. When a new idea was launched, people didn't think about the benefits it could bring. Instead, they thought about how it would affect them, and they would constantly exaggerate the negative effects.
Rhine didn't know what Angor was talking about. But judging from Angor's answer, it didn't seem to be anything serious. Rhine thought he might go against the world's consciousness, or even cause an apocalypse. After all, the gears of history weren't that easy to move.
"Everything has external risks, and it's human nature to distrust people. If these are the only risks, I think they're manageable. " Rhine looked at Angor carefully. "These two risks remind me of the Path of Steam. Back then, other countries didn't want to build railway tracks because of distrust. "
"So, you're trying to change the world because you're going to launch something as well?"
"Something like your alchemy creation?" Rhine tried to guess.
"Something like that."
Rhine could tell that Angor didn't want to talk about it. He considered and didn't press further.
"If you're really going to do it, when do you plan to do it?"
"Not too long, but not now."
In order to keep a low profile, he did not want to attract anyone's attention right now.
"If this matter will really affect the situation, then you must make a comprehensive assessment, whether it's good or bad." Rhine paused. "Also, you need to choose the right time to do it. Also, tell me before you do it. At least let me know how Brute Cavern should cooperate with you."
Rhine's words clearly showed some of his attitude.
Angor nodded with a smile. "When the time comes, my professor will tell me even if I don't."
