Menavaro continued to explain the progress of the outpost, as well as some minor incidents that happened during the construction process.
Among them, he mentioned the Dalmatian.
Menavaro looked a little embarrassed when talking about the dog. This was probably the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard since he started working at the outpost.
A stowaway from the Nightmare Realm.
And the stowaway was a Dalmatian!
Menavaro couldn't believe it at all.
Nightmare creatures didn't like to come to the wizarding world. Without the nightmare aura, they would be much weaker even if they were in a demiplane. Even Menavaro himself wouldn't come here if he didn't want to follow Master Nuka's footsteps.
This was why the stowaway of the Dalmatian was so strange.
More importantly, the Dalmatian was Minister Dim's favorite pet. Why would it sneak into the wizarding world?
As Menavaro talked about the spotted dog, he asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
Nuka stroked his beard and glanced at the Dalmatian in Angor's arms. "Before I arrived, I met with Minister Dim. He mentioned that the Dalmatian was too wild and wandered around the inner sector. I don't know why it sneaked here. You'll have to ask it yourself. Or … "
Nuka looked at Angor. "Perhaps Lady Shava knows the answer."
Menavaro looked at Angor as well. He didn't ask anything, but his eyes were filled with curiosity.
After sneaking out of the nightmare tunnel, the Dalmatian dashed out of the outpost like an arrow. Menavaro couldn't catch up with it. He searched the Land of Hearts for a long time but still couldn't find the dog. When he arrived at the outpost, he saw the dog lying comfortably in Shava's arms.
Judging from the time, the Dalmatian didn't go anywhere else after leaving the outpost. Instead, it went straight to the Flower Garden, as if it was here for Shava.
Looking at the Dalmatian who was being caressed by Shava until it was as lazy as a little pig, Menavaro thought to himself, 'It's not as if this guy is here for Shava.'
Therefore, Her Excellency Shava might really know the reason.
Angor was trying to gather information about the Cross Institute in secret. He did not expect to become the center of attention all of a sudden.
They didn't say anything when they saw the dog beside Angor, but that was only because of Shava's identity. Now that Mister Nuka took the lead to ask, they naturally hoped to get some answers. After all, the Dalmatian was the Minister of Arms' number one weapon.
Angor tried his best to calm himself down. "I didn't expect it to show up either."
Of course, none of the guests were convinced by his answer. But considering Shava's status, it was good enough that Angor was willing to answer their questions. He only thought that there might be some inside story, but Her Excellency Shava didn't want to talk about it.
"My Lord, this is the current situation of the Outpost."
Nuka nodded. Despite the incident with the spotted dog, Nuka was still very satisfied with the Crossroads. After all, the Crossroads was the most important area and was responsible for the core work of Xinnai's descent.
When everyone was done talking, Nuka looked at Angor again. "Do you have any suggestions regarding the construction of the Land of Xinnai, Lady Shava?"
"The construction of the Land of Xinnai is going step by step. Blind suggestions are not a good thing." Angor considered. "Also, from what I heard, everyone is doing a good job. At least, I didn't find anything to suggest."
Angor really wanted to find some loopholes so that Xinnai's descent would not happen at all. But he knew that was not going to happen. Nuka mentioned that Xinnai's descent was approved by the queen. No matter how confident Angor was about "Shava", he knew that "Shava" was not as important as the queen. Since the queen agreed, if Shava decided to go against it, Angor would become a clown.
Since he could not stop Xinnai's descent, he would not suggest anything either. Even if he did find something wrong, he would only praise it in his mind. He would not say it out loud so that they could change it.
Besides, he did not find anything wrong with it.
"So Lady Shava agrees with the descent of the Land of Xinnai. That's a relief. After all, Lady Shava is more familiar with it. " Nuka opened his long and narrow mouth. From the perception of his emotions, he seemed to be smiling, but it looked very strange.
Shava is familiar with "descent"? Angor wondered if Nuka was testing him or if Shava was really familiar with the term.
The only thing he could do was to keep a smile on his face. He did not deny it, but he did not accept it either.
"I'm glad that Lady Shava approved the construction of the Land of Xinnai. However, the descent of the Land of Xinnai has caused some problems. If Lady Shava can help … "
Angor looked at the dancing flame on the candlestick with a calm expression. But in his mind, he was thinking …
It's here.
He did not join this banquet because he was forced to. Until now, he still did not know why he had appeared here.
But there was no doubt that Nuka knew everything.
There must be a reason why Nuka invited him here. Was it because Nuka suspected Angor's identity, or something else?
So far, Nuka did not try to test Angor's identity too much. It seemed that Nuka had already accepted Angor as Shava. So, if Nuka was not suspicious about Angor's identity, perhaps he was only holding this banquet to gain something from "Shava" to achieve his own goal.
When Nuka mentioned that he needed Shava's help, Angor quickly realized what was going on.
Why would Nuka invite him to this banquet? Angor was sure that he would find out soon.
Angor raised an eyebrow. His right eye glowed green. "You need my help? Let's hear it. "
Nuka: "It's like this. Her Excellency Shava should have heard what Menavaro said about the descent of the Arkana Palace …"
Nuka did not hide the truth. Under the flickering light of the candlestick, Nuka slowly told Angor what he wanted.
Before Nuka revealed the answer, Angor already had all kinds of guesses in his mind. Nightmare creatures should know that "Shava" was close to humans. Whether it was Fox Zither, Mystic Lady, or Seething Gentleman, all of them must have seen Shava living with humans. Angor even wondered if Nuka wanted him to be a traitor.
But after hearing Nuka's explanation, Angor was surprised.
What Nuka was asking for was inconceivable.
"The Arcana Palace is about to descend. But as you know, Lady Shava, I don't have enough people to guard the palace, so … "Nuka slowly looked at Angor.
"So, you want me to guard Arkana's palace?" Angor showed a sarcastic smile on his face.
No matter how stupid Angor was, he knew that Shava's status was much higher than the "Minister of Agriculture". Now, Nuka wanted him to guard the Arcana Palace. At least in terms of seniority, it was not appropriate. In fact, it was an insult to Shava.
Since Angor had to play Shava's role well, he had to at least show his anger on his face even if he had other thoughts.
However, pure anger seemed to be a little out of place. Sarcasm was more suitable for his character.
Nuka said, "Please don't be angry, Your Excellency Shava. I don't mean to ask Your Excellency to guard the Arkana Palace. I'm just short of manpower, and I hope to ask Your Excellency for some subordinates to take up this important role."
Angor's expression softened a little.
But … Angor also wanted his men to guard the Arcana Palace. If he could send someone to guard the place permanently, he would have a chance to wreak havoc.
But where was he supposed to find them? Perhaps he could find some human subordinates. But Angor knew that Nuka did not want humans. He wanted Shava's men from the Nightmare Realm.
Angor did not even know who Shava was, let alone who her men were.
Moreover, if Shava's subordinates really saw him, his identity would probably be exposed very quickly. After all, he was not the real Shava.
"Forget about it. I don't think anyone will be interested in this place." Angor hesitated for a while and rejected the tempting offer. He wanted to ask if it was okay to send a watcher to guard the place. Of course, he was referring to Sunders. But in the end, he did not ask. After all, he did not want to mess with his own teacher. In Angor's opinion, everyone here, including Myrtle, was probably as strong as Sunders. This place was a fire pit that would burn anyone who tried to enter.
"Ah, ah, Lady Shava is right. Who would be interested in this place —" Gentleman Zeal, who was sitting on Angor's right, interrupted him.
The other guests also agreed with Gentleman Zeal's words. Among them, the maid and Menavaro did not agree, but they all agreed with Gentleman Zeal.
Who would want to come here when they were doing well in the Nightmare Realm?
For nightmare creatures, everywhere outside the Nightmare Realm was a barren land.
Nuka knew what they were thinking. He had many subordinates in the Nightmare Realm, and only the maid, Myrtle, and Menavaro were willing to come with him.
"Since Lady Shava said so, let's put this matter aside for now." Nuka sighed regretfully. This was a very important matter to him. If Lady Shava agreed, he would have more control over many things. Unfortunately, Lady Shava refused.
Still, Nuka did not give up. He already knew that Lady Shava would not agree, so he had a second plan.
"I heard from the queen that Lady Shava often visits the human world. May I know how long Lady Shava plans to stay in this world this time? " Nuka rested his chin on his slender hands. His beard swayed in the wind as he put on a curious look.
"Are you interested in my whereabouts, Mister Nuka?" Angor asked calmly. At the same time, he was wondering if Nuka was telling the truth. If Nuka was telling the truth, Shava often visited the human world because of him?
Also, Shava's power should be far beyond the warning level of the world's consciousness. If Shava came to the human world, it should have reacted. Or could it be that Shava's descent was actually a different type of descent, such as a doppelganger puppet? Or a projection of a demon god's follower?
If that was the case, it would explain why these people still believed him to be Shava even though they knew he was not that strong.
They only recognized his aura, not his actual strength. Shava's arrival was not her real body.
"Please don't misunderstand, Lady Shava. I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that if you stay in this world for a long time. Why don't you come and join the banquets at the Land of Sinners from time to time? "
"Oh?" Angor did not refuse. He only gave Nuka a curious look.
"It is our honor to have Your Excellency's presence in the Land of Xinnai. If you can guide us in the construction of the Land of Sinners, we won't have to take any detours.
At the same time, I hope that I can help you as much as I can when you stay in this world. "
Angor studied Nuka's eyes carefully as if he was trying to see if Nuka was lying.
Of course, this was only part of Angor's act. He was too weak to tell Nuka's true thoughts.
Still, Angor could feel that Nuka's eagerness was sincere.
Of course, Angor would not trust his intuition. There had to be something else behind Nuka's sincerity.
Still, Angor had a feeling that Nuka really wanted him to get involved in the construction of the Land of Sinners. Why? Was it because of Shava's identity? Or could Shava really help the construction of the Land of Sinners?
Unbeknownst to Angor, Nuka was actually feeling quite anxious as well.
He really wanted Angor's permission.
The queen agreed to Sinners' arrival, but she did not actually give an order. She just did not object. If Lady Shava could join them, even if she only showed up once, it would be a great help to Nuka's plan.
"We will hold a banquet every month on the day of the moon sacrifice. If Lady Shava agrees, we hope to have a banquet with you. "Nuka saw that Angor did not respond.
Angor glanced at Nuka absent-mindedly. He still did not answer directly. "We'll see."
