Angor crossed the dream bridge and returned to reality from the dream wasteland.
When he regained control of his mind, he felt something flickering in front of his eyes.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw a tall yellow-leafed oak tree growing beside him. Warm sunlight shone through the dense leaves and cast a mottled shadow on his face.
The swaying of light and shadow that he had felt earlier was the flickering of light spots when the leaves were blown by the wind.
Since when did this tree grow here? He yawned and sat up. He was still trying to figure out where the tree came from.
"Did you sleep well in my sun chair?" A lazy female voice came from behind him.
Angor turned around and saw Greya sitting by the window of Angor's hut, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
Greya had already returned to her normal self, which meant her conversation with Lydia was over.
"Yes," Angor said. "So, how's your talk with Lydia going?" Angor changed the topic.
Before Greya could answer, a gust of wind blew over their heads.
Angor looked up and saw a gray shadow jumping down from the tree and pouncing at him.
Angor didn't try to dodge. He even reached out a hand. When the light faded away, they saw Toby standing on Angor's hand. Toby was none other than the grey shadow that was flying over.
Angor was about to give Toby a pat, but Toby didn't plan to stay there for long. Instead, Toby took out a large, black brick from Snowy Feather and tossed it into Angor's hand. Then, Toby dashed into Angor's hut without hesitation.
He took a closer look and saw Toby enjoying a piece of dried fish inside his hut.
"No wonder he's in such a hurry." Angor chuckled and looked at the item Toby left behind.
He thought it was just a black brick. But when he looked closer, he noticed that the "brick" was covered in wooden tentacles that looked like a net. At the same time, it also emitted a faint fragrance.
"It's the fruit of a Glutinous Sprout Tree. Toby asked me to create it and pick it for you," Greya explained.
"Glutinous sprout tree? Did you create it? " Angor looked at the tree and then at Greya. "Something like the Milkberry Tree?"
Greya nodded. "That's right. Why don't you try it? Toby picked them for you personally. "
He wasn't hungry, but he didn't want to waste Toby's kindness. After thinking about it, he still cut the glutinous sprout tree's fruit into two halves.
As the "brick" was cut open, the white and soft pulp inside was immediately revealed. The smell was still faint and fragrant.
"Eat it directly?"
"That's right, the pulp inside can be eaten." While Greya spoke, Toby also flew to the window and chirped a few times. It seemed the bird was urging Angor to eat as soon as possible.
Angor didn't doubt it. He used his spirit feelers to tear off a small piece of the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
He chewed and … it wasn't bad, but it was bland and tasteless. It tasted like a tasteless banana, soft and sticky.
Angor heard Toby cheering as soon as he finished the fruit. He looked back and saw Toby devouring a plate of fragrant dried fish.
Angor didn't know why Toby was so happy. Before he could say anything, Toby suddenly held a piece of dried fish in his mouth and asked him to eat.
Angor looked at Toby in surprise. Toby wasn't usually this generous. Toby would never share his dried fish with Angor, let alone this one made by Asaz.
Angor didn't know what was wrong with Toby, but he still felt relieved.
However, when he was about to try the dried fish, his hand suddenly froze.
Why am I so full? I'm so full that I feel sick at the sight of food.
Angor put down the dried fish he was holding. Toby's eyes lit up. He quickly ran away with the dried fish in his mouth.
Angor looked at Greya in confusion. "What's going on?" He had a feeling that Toby's strange behavior had something to do with his full stomach.
"The fruit of the Glutinous Sprout Tree can keep you full for at least a month. You won't feel full during normal times, but when you want to eat, you'll feel full. "
"… So?"
Greya shrugged. "Toby told me to do it. I don't know why. But I have a guess.
"Perhaps Toby thought that you would snatch the dried fish from him, so he decided to strike first and fill your stomach first."
Angor believed that Greya was right. When Asaz was making dried fish for Toby, Toby already noticed him. Toby didn't come out to greet him at all, so Angor assumed that Toby was on guard in case Angor tried to take the dried fish. Toby even asked Greya to make a Glutinous Sprout Tree just to prevent Angor from eating the dried fish.
Angor now understood why Toby was cheering so excitedly.
He thought Toby had changed his mind. But now he realized that Toby was just smarter than before.
Angor felt a little helpless as he listened to Toby's joyful chirping in the hut. Never mind. He wasn't going to fight with Toby over the dried fish anyway. Although he was curious about the taste of Asaz's dried fish.
Angor shook his head and stopped thinking about Toby. Instead, he went back to his previous question.
Greya's expression darkened at the mention of Lydia. "That woman didn't give us a clear answer."
"She didn't? Is Lydia going back on her word? " Angor frowned. When the parasites attacked Midnight Sovereign, Lydia promised that as long as Angor could enter the city and save a living Moan, she would give Angor a fair trade.
Back then, Angor was only an apprentice, and Lydia was already giving him the best she could.
Angor agreed, and he kept his promise in the end.
In the end, Lydia agreed to give the eyeless man back to Angor as long as he paid three million magic crystals.
"She hasn't changed her mind yet. But I think she wants to talk to you about something, so she doesn't want to talk about it directly," Greya said.
"Talk to me?" Angor asked, "Should I go talk to her?"
Greya shook her head. "No need. You've already helped me a lot. Huston is my restaurant employee, and I'll take care of his safety. I already told her that I'll talk to her myself when she arrives at Brute Cavern during the tea party. If she dares to change her mind … "
Greya narrowed her eyes. "I'll let her know the price of going back on her word."
