He knew what was going on, but he didn't want to get involved.
The only thing he was glad about was that he didn't respond to Boiling Gentleman's words earlier. Otherwise, he would have offended Menavaro for no reason.
Maybe offending Menavaro would earn Boiling Gentleman's favor, but Angor wasn't here to play the game of friendship. It would be better if he didn't offend anyone. Besides, they weren't enemies. Maybe they just loved each other and hated each other.
Under such circumstances, Angor naturally chose to remain silent and not side with anyone. He just wanted to play Shava's role, wait for the banquet to end, and find a chance to return to reality.
Apart from that, Angor was also thinking about the information he learned during their conversation.
For example, Xinnai's arrival.
Did Xinnai's arrival have anything to do with the Land of Xinnai? What was this "arrival" about?
Also, when the black and white maids were chatting earlier, they had mentioned many places, such as Sunken Cemetery, Bayer Corner, the Lost Candle Corridor, and the crossroads that Menavaro was guarding. These were undoubtedly areas within the ruins.
But the more he listened, the stranger he felt.
When the ruins had just opened, Reeves of the Purcell clan had been the first to explore the ruins. According to Leavis's first impression, the ruin shouldn't be too big.
At least, it shouldn't be as big as the Spirit Garden. He didn't know how big the Land of Xinnai, Sunken Graveyard, and Bayer's Point were, but he didn't think they were small. Was this really the same ruin he saw before?
While Angor was still trying to figure out what was going on, Menavaro and Boiling Gentleman had already stopped arguing. It was not because they made peace. When they were talking about each other, the puppy, which was lying on the table and enjoying Angor's petting, suddenly barked.
Its barks didn't sound threatening. They were just comfortable. However, it did attract Menavaro's attention.
Menavaro looked at the puppy with a complicated expression. He searched the entire Land of Xinnai several times just to find this thing, and he didn't expect it to be sleeping in here.
This made Menavaro feel a little indignant, and this indignation even surpassed his desire to argue with Gentleman Boiling.
But no matter how indignant he was, he did not dare to do anything to the spotted dog.
After all, it was Minister Dim's favorite pet. Minister Tim was the Minister of Arms, and the dalmatian was his number one weapon. Even if no one was controlling it, it was still very threatening. At the very least, Menavaro himself was no match for the dalmatian.
It could only look angrily at the spotted dog. The more it thought about it, the more depressed it became. In the end, it angrily sat in the first seat on the left and didn't say anything.
Zeal Gentleman did not stop there. He kept talking about the properties of the Distorted Seed. Although Menavaro heard it, he could not be bothered with it.
Angor agreed. He was interested in the Distorted Seed as well, but he didn't want to ask too much with Menavaro around.
The gentlemen chatted excitedly for about two or three minutes before stopping.
Boiling Gentleman wanted to say more, but the situation did not allow him to do so. The guest sitting in the last seat of the banquet, opposite to Angor's seat, finally showed up.
Angor knew who the last guest was. It must be Mister Nuka, the man they kept talking about.
But he didn't expect Mister Nuka to show up in a different way compared to the other guests.
Before Nuka showed up, Angor could sense a terrifying pressure coming from the air.
This pressure was different from the energy pressure or the aura of a person. It was more like the pressure field created by the green tattoo in his right eye. However, it was more subtle, but the effect was more powerful.
The pressure would not kill anyone, but it was suffocating. It was like a divine aura.
It made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts and forced them to submit.
He wanted to activate his right eye to fight against the pressure, but he knew that the pressure was similar to the green tattoo in his right eye. He did not have enough control over the green tattoo in his right eye, so it would not help him much in the face of greater pressure.
But if the pressure kept getting stronger, Angor felt that his act would be exposed.
As Angor thought about what to do, he suddenly noticed that the puppy lying on the table did not react to the pressure at all. It even rubbed its head against Angor's palm, wondering why he did not continue stroking it.
When the puppy rubbed its head against his palm, Angor clearly felt that the pressure on his mind weakened a little.
Angor usually did not notice this difference, but under the pressure, it was very obvious.
Angor's heart skipped a beat as he realized something.
He pretended to caress the puppy carelessly. He even caressed the dog's chin. The puppy seemed to like it. It leaned its head closer and closer until it jumped onto Angor's lap and enjoyed the caress.
When the puppy landed on Angor's lap, the pressure around him disappeared.
Angor knew that he was right. The puppy must have some kind of special force field that prevented it from being affected by external pressure.
When the puppy sat on his lap, the force field also spread to Angor's body, helping him to resist the pressure.
Angor sighed in relief. "Another one passed."
Without the pressure, Angor began to pay attention to the other guests' reactions. Both the black-and-white maids and Menavaro were very excited about Nuka's arrival, especially Menavaro, who was so excited that he was practically trembling. This was probably why the Book of Madness called Menavaro a fanatic.
Davosia and Boiling Gentleman did not react much, but Angor noticed something.
Previously, Davosia had been focusing on eating. No matter who came, he did not change his attitude and actions. Only when the spotted dog came did he show a defensive action, showing his fear of the spotted dog. But later, when he saw that the spotted dog did not do anything destructive, he returned to his old self.
But now, Davosia was acting strangely as if he was not used to the pressure around him.
Boiling Gentleman was the same. Angor could not see his expression, but it was clear that he was not used to the pressure either.
As time went by, the pressure grew stronger, and Davosia and Boiling Gentleman showed more obvious reactions to it.
The maid and Menavarro, on the other hand, did not feel uncomfortable at all. Perhaps it was because they were already loyal to Nuka?
As Angor pondered, Nuka finally showed up at the door.
