He knew very well that the five colorful mushrooms were Nuka's way of making him look bad. In exchange, Nuka asked Angor to join the Moon Worshipping Feast.
Angor wanted to reject the offer, but he couldn't resist the temptation.
He didn't reject the mushrooms when they tried to attach themselves to him, which meant that he allowed them to do so.
It didn't mean that Angor would accept Nuka's offer. However, Nuka believed that things were going well.
Nuka didn't ask for more. Instead, he kept toasting Angor with a smile.
Since Nuka had something to ask of him, Angor decided to use this chance to learn more about the Land of Sinners.
The more he learned about the Land of Sinners, the heavier his heart became.
The feast ended two hours later. Davosia was the first to arrive, and the first to leave. Davosia didn't talk to anyone else. She only told Angor that if anyone wanted to find her, they should go to Rainbow Mountain, where she would prepare a feast of sweets for Angor.
After Davosia left, the two maids also bid farewell to Angor.
Perhaps because their master had something to ask of Angor, the two maids were much more enthusiastic than when they first met. However, even though the farewell sounded very passionate, it was still too vulgar compared to Davosia's words.
"It's my honor to be able to dine with Mister Shava. I hope we can hold a better feast for Mister Shava at Bayer Point or Sunken Graveyard."
The maid was still beating around the bush, hoping that Angor would accept Nuka's offer and join the Moon Worshipping Feast.
Angor only smiled without saying anything.
He didn't know whether he should accept Nuka's offer or not, but he already felt strange about attending the feast at Sunken Graveyard.
Manavaro left right after Angor. Perhaps because he "offended" Angor during the banquet, Manavaro didn't try to hint at Angor like the maid did. Manavaro was a fanatic of Nuka, but he didn't say anything to Angor when he left the banquet.
Manavaro bowed to Angor and glared at Boiling Gentleman before disappearing at the end of the hallway.
Now, only Angor, Boiling Gentleman, Nuka, and the host, Myrtle, were left in the hall.
Boiling Gentleman finished a cup of unknown liquor and stood up to leave. Angor quickly stood up as well. "I'll go with you. We can check out the Distorted Seed together."
While we're at it, we can also leave this dangerous ruin. Angor muttered in his mind.
Boiling Gentleman wouldn't refuse. He felt honored that Mister Shava was interested in the Distorted Seed.
Before Angor could leave, Nuka suddenly spoke up, "Mister Shava, are you taking it with you?"
Nuka looked at the puppy in Angor's arms.
"What do you mean by that, Minister Nuka?" Angor looked at Nuka.
Nuka shook his head. "Nothing. I've heard some rumors about Mister Shava."
Nuka didn't mention the specific rumors. Instead, he changed the topic back to the puppy. "It snuck out again. If we don't send it back in time, Minister Dim will come to this place through the passage of the Outpost."
Angor didn't say anything. He waited for Nuka's explanation.
"After all, the puppy is the Minister of Arms' number one weapon."
Angor's pupils shrank. He had heard about Minister Dim before, but this was the first time he heard that Minister Dim was the Minister of Arms!
The puppy was the Minister of Arms' number one weapon! It sounded unbelievable, but Angor knew how powerful the Dalmatian was, so it made sense.
"I don't think Mister Shava will agree with Minister Dim's ideas. If Mister Shava doesn't want to see Minister Dim, it's best to send the puppy back in time to prevent him from coming. "
Nuka didn't mention what Minister Dim's ideas were, but Angor sensed that Nuka was implying something. Maybe Shava and Minister Dim were enemies?
Nuka could treat Shava peacefully, but would Dim do anything to Shava?
Angor's mind raced. He wasn't sure if Nuka was telling the truth, but he did think that he should avoid meeting other Nightmare Ministers as much as possible.
Even if Nuka lied about Dim not having any conflict with Shava, Angor still didn't want to meet Dim right now.
Angor handled the banquet with ease for the past two hours. Only he knew that every word he said was carefully planned, and he had to react at the first moment and quickly think of a way to deal with it so that his identity would not be suspected.
It was a very difficult and exhausting task. He felt like a clown dancing on a colorful ball. If he lost his balance, he would fall to the ground. Not only would he lose his disguises, but his life would also be threatened.
Before meeting Nuka, Angor was able to find some clues from other guests. When Nuka arrived, Angor already had a general idea of Nuka's character and a plan to deal with him.
But Dim … Angor had no idea what this man was like. Nuka said that Dim and Shava had different ideas, but how would Dim know about Shava's ideas?
Angor didn't want to meet an unknown minister, even if Dim didn't mean any harm to Shava.
But …
Angor looked down at the puppy in his arms.
He really wanted to take the puppy away.
This spotted dog, in his opinion, was a living encyclopedia of mysteries. If he could observe the puppy's secrets, it might help him a lot when he needed to create Mystery items in the future.
Besides, the puppy was his best weapon.
It was even more tempting.
Angor lowered his eyelids to hide the change in his eyes. After a complicated mental struggle, he finally decided to compromise.
He liked the puppy. Apart from its functions, the puppy was so close to him, and it helped him resist Nuka's pressure. Angor already wanted to take the puppy away.
But he still couldn't take the puppy away. Minister Dim was one of the reasons, and Angor didn't think he was strong enough to protect the puppy.
After weighing the pros and cons, Angor decided to follow Nuka's suggestion.
However, he didn't plan to let the puppy go right away. At least … he had to leave the spirit garden first. Nuka's pressure was still there. He still needed the puppy to block the pressure. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep up his act.
