Angor assumed that Fispan wouldn't come back after leaving the cave. To his surprise, Fispan came back in less than half an hour.
And he wasn't alone either. There was a group of smoke fish following behind him.
Fispan landed on the ground and entered the cave with graceful steps.
First, he looked at the fishes floating in the smoke behind the monster.
Due to the low temperature in the cave, the fish didn't seem to be very active. They floated listlessly in the smoke created by Fispan's burning feathers.
"I saw these elemental spirits on the way here. They are also Dankros' underlings, so I brought them along with me," Fegasperi explained. He then proceeded to talk about what he had seen outside.
"I went out to find out just now. It's not that Dankros' underlings aren't coming. It's just that there's something wrong with it. It can't even take care of itself, so it doesn't have the time to look for its underlings one by one," Feston said as he gestured for the smoke fish to display its talent.
Unfortunately, the fish weren't what Angor was looking for. He gave them a quick glance and told them to leave.
"Can't take care of itself? Did it cause any trouble? "
"Not really. But there's something wrong with it," Fispan said. Fegasperi was silent for a moment before he continued, "Although Dankros told me not to tell you, I think it's better to tell you the general situation."
"Have you heard of Duroche, sir?"
Angor nodded. "You mean the flame giant? Mister Magoo told me that it benefited a lot from the Elemental Tide. "
"Elemental Tide? Oh, you mean the World Sound? " Fispanry nodded. "Yes, Duroche had a little disagreement with Mister yesterday, which caused cracks to appear in its elemental core. But it was a blessing in disguise. With the blessing of the World Sound, the flaws in its elemental core were repaired, and it became even more perfect. Its intelligence even improved a lot, and it was no longer as chaotic as before."
Fispan paused a little. "You saw how Dankros took in minions, right? He injected his fire into the bodies of other elemental creatures. Usually, newborn elemental spirits are the easiest to tame because they can't fight back. Mature elemental creatures, on the other hand, are much harder to tame. Unless … they have low intelligence. As for Duroche, because its intelligence was very chaotic in the past, Dankros used some tricks and injected his flames into its body, making it his underling. "
"Now, Duroche has regained its intelligence. When it woke up last night, it remembered what Dankros did to it, and now it's going to find Dankros for revenge. Dankros is busy running away from Duroche, so he didn't have the time to contact his minion. "
Angor nodded after listening to Fisspanre's explanation. Fispenry's words made sense because he had already heard about it from Magoo yesterday. Judging from Dankros' reaction, he was indeed afraid that Duroche would settle the score with him.
It seemed that Demonic Fire Midier had nothing to do with this. It made sense. After all, he hadn't started to abduct Magefire Midier's people yet.
However, if the Magical Fire Midier knew about the situation, it wouldn't do nothing, right? What would it do, or had it already started to be on guard?
Fispan continued, "But don't worry, mister. I just went to Professor Magoo's place and found Dankros. Dankros didn't dare to go out and look for his minion, but he sent Krokelo to bring his minion to you. It should be here soon."
"Has Krokelo recovered?" Angor asked curiously.
Krokelo was the furry monster whose talent was Elemental Self-Destruct. According to Dankros, Krokelo used to be his minion, and later they became good friends.
"Krokelo's talent is Elemental Self-Destruct. Normally, it'll take at least a month for it to reform its body, and several years for it to fully recover. But because of the World Echo, Krokelo regained its body. It's not fully recovered yet, but it won't take long. "
Angor's eyes flickered. Krokelo's fire was very hot, and it also had a powerful Elemental Self-Destruct ability. It would be great if he could lure it away. However, according to Fischeri's words, this Korokro belonged to a special type of elemental spirit. It had already developed intelligence, and it would be difficult to trick this kind of elemental spirit … But it was not completely impossible.
When Angor was about to ask more questions about Korokro, Fei Spanry looked outside the cave.
Elmi also sent a message to Angor that an elemental creature was approaching.
"It's here. Krokelo moved fast," Fispan said.
A Flaming Hound quickly rushed into the cave and circled around Fez Spanre. Fez Spanre patted it with his wings, then the hound stuck out its tongue and sat down beside him.
Angor noticed that the Firehound was quite large. If it stood up on its hind legs, it would be taller than Angor.
It looked like the Firehound was about to mature from a small sprite.
"Oh, it's Loria!" Fispan called the dog's name happily and got an even more enthusiastic response.
Judging from the way Fispan and the Firehound interacted, they must be quite close.
"It has a name?" Yesterday, Fispan didn't call the other elemental spirits by their names. He only referred to them by their forms.
Fischeri nodded. There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Yes, I was the one who named it …"
According to Fegasperi, Loria and Fegasperi were taken in by Dankros at the same time. Their relationship had been very good since they were little elves. After Fegasperi matured and gained sentience, he left Dankros' side. Before leaving, Fispan named Loria as its new name.
"Since Loria is here, Bastet should be here soon," Angor muttered.
Before he could ask who Bastet was, Elmi sent him another message. Another elemental creature had arrived.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Fispan. I thought you were still working as a messenger bird at the volcano." A sarcastic voice came from outside. Just as he finished speaking, a cat burning with pure dark flames walked in with graceful cat-like steps.
The black cat didn't pay any attention to Fispan. Instead, it stopped beside Loria.
The cat and dog rubbed against each other affectionately. Loria seemed to be closer to the black cat than to Fispan.
"You're a human. You'll make a good servant." The black cat looked at Angor and said, "You're a human. You'll make a good servant."
Fispan looked angry. "Bastet, Mister Padt is His Highness' most esteemed guest. Please don't do anything to him."
Bastet yawned and scratched its ears with its claws. It didn't want to listen to Fispan's nonsense.
"Kerokro told us to come here and show off our talents. I'm not interested." Loria stuck out its tongue and raised its head proudly, as if saying "I can do it".
Bastet slapped Loria's head with its claws. "You can't either!"
Loria lowered its head and whimpered. It rubbed its head against Bastet.
Bastet looked up at Angor again. "Human, His Highness has accepted you, but I don't know if you're good or bad. Talent is our biggest secret, and I don't want to show it to anyone. Unless you want to fight me to the death, I'll show you my talent. "
"As for now, I've come here as Kerokro told me to. Consider it a favor for Dankros. We're leaving now."
Bastet patted Loria's head, and the latter quickly followed.
Bastet left with its elegant cat-like steps again. Loria stuck its tongue out and followed behind the cat like a loyal dog.
Angor didn't try to stop it. The black cat seemed to be very intelligent and hostile. It would be very difficult to tame it. Even if it could be tamed, Angor would have to use force. It wasn't time for that yet.
Besides, Bastet's fire wasn't suitable for alchemy.
As for the Flaming Dog Loria … Judging from the nature of its fire, it did fit Angor's criteria. However, he didn't know about its talent yet. Plus, Bastet was keeping a close eye on it. It wouldn't be easy to trick it away.
"Mister Padt, Bastet has always been arrogant. Apart from Loria, he's always cold and distant to other elemental creatures. I hope you can forgive him," Fispan looked at Angor.
Angor shook his head. He wasn't interested in Bastet at all. He wasn't a masochist who would go out of his way to tame a proud cat whose fire didn't suit him.
However, he was curious about Bastet's situation.
"Bastet isn't an elemental fairy, is it?" Angor asked. Bastet was smaller than Loria, but Angor could sense that the fire energy coming from it was much stronger than elemental fairies. It was almost as strong as Fispan.
"Yes. Bastet has already left the Elvish Phase."
It wasn't strange for Bastet to leave the Elvish Phase. But judging from Bastet's tone, it seemed that Bastet agreed with Dankros' words.
Was Bastet one of Dankros' followers?
Angor asked Fispan for confirmation. Fispan nodded. "Yes. Bastet is one of Dankros' followers now."
Angor already had an idea, but he was still surprised by the answer.
As far as Angor was concerned, Dankros' underlings were forced to come here. Those who regained their consciousness either "turned against Dankros" like Duroche, or left Dankros' underlings like Fispenry.
Why would an intelligent, mature elemental creature like Bastet willingly become Dankros' follower?
Fispan noticed Angor's confusion and explained, "Mister, you must have misunderstood. You think it's unfair to become Dankros' follower. But that's not the case. Dankros also gave his followers a lot of benefits.
"Dankros' fire is special. It can still work even when it's outside of its body. Dankros injected his flames into his subordinates' bodies, giving them a certain level of ability to protect themselves. "
Fespenry gave a few examples.
When danger came, an elemental creature with Dankros' fire inside its body could activate the fire to create a black barrier to protect itself from external attacks.
Furthermore, this kind of black light shield could also display a more powerful effect based on the level of the underling.
For example, if a mature elemental creature like Bastet used the black barrier, its defense would be based on Bastet's power level, which made it much stronger than an elemental fairy. In other words, Bastet had an extra life-saving measure.
Because of this, being Dan Gross' underling was not without its benefits.
Moreover, Dankros usually wouldn't ask his subordinates to do anything, and they were simply left to their own devices. His subordinates only enjoyed the black light barrier that Dankros gave them, and they didn't need to do any labor. Naturally, a portion of the elemental spirits didn't leave Dankros' command even after they advanced.
"Bastet is one such example," Fispan said. "But Bastet is a little different. It has the ability to protect itself. The reason why it's still in Dankros' camp is mostly because of its relationship with Loria. They're very close, so Bastet thinks Loria will be safer with the black barrier. As long as Loria is Dankros' follower, he won't leave. "
"I see." Angor nodded. Earlier, when Elmi fought Kerokro and Duroche, they all used the black barriers. Now that he thought about it, those barriers were something Dangros left behind to save his underlings' lives.
"So the black barrier is Dankros' talent?" Angor was quite interested in the black barrier. When Elmi fought Duroche, Duroche's black barrier was so strong that Elmi couldn't break it without using his full strength.
Fisspanre said, "You could say that, but Dankros himself said that he has other talents. But we've never seen them, so we don't know if they're real or not. "
Angor nodded. This Dankros is a badass, but he's quite capable.
A while later, several more elemental spirits showed up outside. Angor put his thoughts aside and began to observe them carefully.
Without the interference of an intelligent elemental creature like Bastet, the elemental fairies began to display their talents under the guidance of Fez Panry.
Angor was dazzled by the number of elemental spirits he saw.
Most of them looked promising, but they weren't suitable for him.
Another day passed. Today was Angor's third day in the ice cave, and this was also the day with the most elemental spirits.
Before nightfall, Angor observed more than a hundred elemental creatures. Two of them were mature, while the rest were still at the elven stage.
Among them, Angor found an elemental spirit that had great potential and was quite suitable for him.
It was a Ghost Fire Butterfly. Although its body's flames were a little mixed, it could still release pure flames of high temperature. Its innate ability was to set off a Ghost Fire Storm, and it could also release extremely dark flames to create illusions of Demonic Will. It had the style of Mind Illusion.
Apart from the impure flames, this Ghostfire Butterfly was perfect for Angor.
Its expectation level was above 80%, which was second only to Korokro.
However, Angor still didn't do anything to the butterfly. He learned from Fispan that the butterfly was called a Ghostfire Slave.
It was Big Inba's crush.
Big Inba helped him a lot, and Little Inba even left an Earth Mark on him. It wouldn't be right for him to take away Inba's crush now.
So he decided to give up on Ghostfire Slave for now.
He didn't have a Ghostfire Slave, but he had other options.
Korokro was one of them.
On the fourth day, Angor met some more minions, all of whom were good and bad. Angor might have liked some of them in the past. But with the Ghostfire Slave, Angor's expectations were raised again. These minions weren't worth his attention at all.
By noon on the fourth day, almost all the elemental spirits were here, including the Flame Traveling Frog he recently acquired.
It could be seen that Dan Gross's underling was almost done reading.
Angor still didn't find anything he liked, so he decided to ask Korokro.
