A hidden clue?
Angor was surprised by Greya's words. He was the one who created the illusion, so he already knew all the clues in the painting. Where could it be hidden?
But since Greya was the one who brought it up, Angor decided to listen to her explanation.
Greya took out her glass orb and gently rubbed it. The image of Doomsday Eye appeared in front of them.
Greya pointed at the bottom right corner of the image. "Look, what's this?"
He followed Greya's finger and saw that Greya was pointing at one of the countless ravines in the painting. Inside the ravine, there was something in the shape of a semicircular object.
To be more precise, it was a round object. However, half of it was swallowed by the ravine, so it only looked like a semicircular object.
Angor already noticed it when he created the illusion. But he didn't pay much attention to it because it was too dark. Now that Greya pointed it out, Angor began to think.
"A gray semicircular object. No obvious features. Is it some kind of ball?" Angor muttered.
Greya shook her head. "No, it's not a ball. It's flat."
Greya didn't try to keep Angor in suspense. Under Angor's curious gaze, she gave her answer.
"I'm a gourmet wizard, so I'm very familiar with the utensils I use. If I'm not mistaken, this semicircular object is a pot. "
"A pot? A pot for cooking? "Angor was surprised.
Greya shook her head again. "It's a pot, but it's not for cooking."
He looked at Greya and waited for an explanation. How did she know that the pot had nothing to do with cooking?
"Instinct." Greya pointed at her forehead. "I don't have any proof, but after using pots for a long time, I can tell what they're used for even without looking at the shape. This pot doesn't have any obvious features, but my instinct tells me that it's not for cooking. It's a refining tool. "
A refining tool? "Could it be a potion pot?" Angor thought of something.
"Yes, I think so too," Greya confirmed.
The so-called medicinal soup pot was actually a special tool for the branch of pharmaceutics. The medicinal soups refined by this branch had a unified name — Witch's Soup.
Witch Soup was a product of the Gypsy School of Pharmacy. Generally speaking, only witches could inherit the Witch Soup, and all the Witch Soups were named after the witches themselves, not according to their association. For example, Celia was the one who made the Celia Witch Soup; the card spirit was the one who made the Celia Witch Soup.
This clue provided by Greya was very extensible.
As long as he could confirm that this pot was the one used to make the witch soup, he would be able to lock onto some clear clues. In this image, a person who knew how to make witch soup appeared.
"Someone who knows how to make witchcraft soup?" Greya looked at him. "Do you have anyone in mind?"
He tried to recall, but none of the women he knew told him that they knew how to make witchcraft soup. Perhaps Leanna would? However, Leanna specialized in fragrance. As for other female alchemists, he could only think of Farrina, Portia, and Kimberly from Dark Castle.
These were the ones who were acquainted with Angor. There were also some who did not know him well or even had grudges against him, such as the Basket Witch and the Grafting Maniac. Angor did not consider them.
However, as far as Angor knew, there was no one who knew how to make witchcraft soup.
Kimberly was a mechanical alchemist, and she didn't spend a lot of time doing alchemy, so she could be excluded. Summer Dew the Basket Witch and East Sea the Grafting Maniac were both bio-alchemists, so they could be excluded as well. Portia was an expert in perfumery, while Farrina was an expert in water potion.
Besides, Angor did not think that he would meet any of them in the near future.
"Anything else?" Greya asked again.
Angor shook his head. "I know some female alchemists, but none of them know how to make witchcraft soup."
Greya shrugged. "Then this clue won't help you for now. Let's check out the other one. "
Greya pointed at the bottom left corner of the image.
Angor looked at where Greya was pointing and saw a bloodstained boot under a pile of rubble.
Someone must have been crushed by the rubble.
As the creator of illusions, Angor had already found this clue. He had also carefully observed the boots, but he did not find anything wrong with them. The only thing worth noting was that the shape of the boots was a little old. The material of the boots and the tanning of the leather were very rough, somewhat like the processing methods of the ancient era.
Apart from the boot, Greya also found several other clues. For example, a long-nosed animal that fell from the rubble, and a human bone that fell into a ravine.
Angor also found these obvious clues. He even found information about long-nosed animals, which were common herbivores that lived in temperate regions. Such animals were widely distributed, and it was difficult to pinpoint their exact location.
As for the human bone, Angor could not identify it. There were no clues either.
When Angor thought that the potion pot was the only useful clue, Greya spoke again, "I found something else as well. But I don't know if it's a clue or not. You can decide for yourself."
Greya pointed at the sky in the image.
Angor looked at the sky without much hope. Greya wasn't pointing at the giant eye in the sky. Instead, she was pointing at the edge of the sky, which looked like a mixture of red mist and red clouds.
Angor didn't find anything strange about this place.
Why did Greya suddenly point at this place?
"Look carefully. Don't you see a different shade of red at the edge of the sky?" Greya pointed at the edge of the sky.
Angor looked carefully and soon found the spot Greya was pointing at.
There really was!
The entire sky was red. The red color was not evenly distributed, but there was a clear gradient to it.
But Greya was pointing at a different spot.
The red color of the sky was dark red, but it was also a little dark, as if it was a remnant of blood.
The place Greya was pointing at was bright red, and it even looked like it was flickering with fluorescent light.
They were all red, but there was no gradient from dark red to bright red. This was what Greya meant by abnormality.
Angor quietly observed the red area, trying to figure out what it meant.
At first, he didn't find anything. But when he slowly outlined the shape of the red area in his mind …
