"No! Those elemental creatures from Malaya Ice Mountain are all bad guys! They'll kill me! I'm still an elf! I'm not grown up yet! I'm going to be as handsome as my ancestor when I grow up! I can't die until I see that day!"
Dangros buried his face into the orb and cried in pain. He didn't dare to look up until Angor rejected his offer. "Huh?" Dangros finally revealed half of his eye when Angor said no. "Huh?"
"Are you sure you want to refuse?" Troissa narrowed her eyes.
"Yes," said Angor confidently.
Dangros sighed in relief when he saw Angor's refusal. He looked at Angor with a bright gleam in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Troissa's expression changed. "If you refuse, then there's no way we can proceed. Since you're brought here by Lobel, I can forgive you for trespassing on Mena Glacier. But you must leave now. Do not take another step forward. "
Angor expected Troissa's reaction. However, since she didn't start a fight right away, there was still room for negotiation.
"There's no need for us to fight. I mean no harm to Malaya Ice Mountain." Angor considered for a moment before continuing, "Besides, I have something important to tell Princess Frost. It's related to the future of Tidal Realm. Are you sure you can overstep Princess Frost's will and drive us away? "
Troissa looked at Angor with disdain. "Do you think I'll believe you just because you're talking?"
"I've already visited the lords of Fire Zone, Wildstone Wasteland, Tusk Desert, and White Cloud Sea. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lobel."
Troisa's confidence was shaken a little when she heard the names of the sovereigns of different regions. Moreover, the fact that Dankros was in his hands seemed to prove what he had said.
Troyza hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Lobel.
Robert immediately understood and said, "Yes, we came from Baibaiyun Village not long ago."
To prove his point, Lobel even introduced Cub Bigg to Troissa.
Storm Mountain Ridge's wind creatures and White Cloud Village's wind creatures gave off a completely different feeling. Naturally, Troy could sense this. After confirming the nature of Cub Bigg's element, she believed Angor's words a little more.
However, she really couldn't bring herself to change her words.
"Even if you went to see the various sovereigns, it still doesn't prove that what you said will affect the future of the entire Tidal Realm," Troy said. "Unless you can prove it to me."
He could see that Troyse had begun to believe him. Her persistence was more emotional than anything else.
He wasn't annoyed. "If you want proof, I can prove it to you."
He then looked at Toby.
Angor didn't say anything, but Toby quickly understood what Angor meant.
It lazily combed its feathers and slowly put its fluffy white dress that matched the land of ice and snow into its Snowy Feather. Then, under everyone's gaze, it flew into the air.
Just as Troy was wondering about the strange seabird's behavior, her eyes widened in the next second.
This was because Toby … had expanded into a gigantic Flame Griffin.
Sparks flew out from the creature's body and burned large holes in the thin layer of ice. It was clear that the fire on the griffin wasn't fake.
Troy stared at the Flame Griffin with disbelief in her icy-blue eyes.
"That's … that's …"
"Since you've heard about Dankros, I'm sure you know what it looks like, right?"
After Toby transformed into his griffin form, he looked exactly like Kalomonkis, the ruler of the Tidal Realm. Since Troy knew Dankros, she must have heard of Kalomonkis as well.
If Angor wanted to prove that what he said had something to do with the future of Tidal Realm, he would have to tell Troy what he came here for. Otherwise, he would have to rely on his own free will. Free will depended on one's own judgment, and it was hard to come up with an absolute answer.
Angor asked Toby to transform into a Flame Griffin to tell Troy that this matter had something to do with Kalomonkis.
Considering that Kalomonkis was the former ruler of Kalomonkis, Angor believed that Troy would come up with something better in her own mind.
As long as Troy could figure out the answer, Angor would be sure of it.
As expected, Troy thought about Kalomonkis.
As the only ruler of Tidal Realm after the Cataclysm, Kalomonkis reorganized the structure of Tidal Realm and restored its former glory. It could be said that Kalomonkis had an incomparably high status in any of the Tidal Realm. Even in the Maraya Iceberg, where water and fire were incompatible, there were still many water-type and ice-type creatures who respected Kalomonkis.
Troy was one of them.
Kalomonkis might have fallen, but his influence was still there. Now, a creature that looked exactly like Kalomonkis had appeared, which could really affect the future of Tidal Realm.
Perhaps Angor really did come to see Princess Frost for something important, just like he said.
Even though Her Highness Frost had given her the authority to deal with external affairs, she didn't think she had the right to deal with something that would affect the future of the Tidal Realm.
Indeed, Princess Frost was the only one who could deal with such an important matter.
Troisa gave the giant bird a meaningful look before she turned to Angor.
"You've convinced me."
With that, Troisa waved her arm lightly. The ice surface that had been penetrated by the sparks from Toby's body froze once more, forming a thick ice path that extended into the depths of the white mist.
Without a doubt, this path had been deliberately displayed by Troisa to show that she was willing to concede.
However, Angor didn't step on the path. Instead, he kept looking at Troy.
"Didn't you say that you could send us directly to Princess Frost's door through the Mena Glacier?"
Half of Troy's body returned to the water column, leaving only her head above the water. "You want a mile after taking an inch? I did say that, but you have to give me Dangros first. "
Troisa glanced at Dangros, who quickly hid behind Angor's back.
"How about we make a deal?"
"A deal?"
"I can give you a destiny, and you have to send us to Princess Frost's door."
"Destiny? I don't think you have anything worth my effort. "
Angor chuckled and took out something from his bracelet.
A strange yet familiar energy wave came from the item in his hand.
Troy looked over in surprise and saw that it was a mermaid ornament hugging a tower-shaped conch shell. It looked very ordinary, but for some reason, it was attracted to it.
"You're giving it to me?"
"It's called 'Ocean Rhythm'. I don't own it, so I can't give it to you. But I can let you experience it. "
Troy asked, "Is this the so-called opportunity you want to trade with me?"
Angor nodded. "We can start now if you want. If not, we'll leave right away."
Troy felt the irresistible attraction and said after a long while, "Are you sure you want to make a deal with me? I'll be frank. Even without my glacier, you can still reach Princess Frost's palace easily. It'll only take you a day or two. "
"I'm sure." Angor knew that the deal looked more like a one-sided deal. However, some things didn't work that way.
As far as he knew, Troy was the only water-type creature among the three Ice Lords. In other words, she was the best at sensing the essence of Ocean Rhythm.
Once Troy experienced it, she would realize that the deal was unfair and that she was taking advantage of Angor.
Naturally, Troy would side with Angor since she was the one who had the advantage.
This was actually a psychological compensation effect based on guilt.
Even if Angor told her that it was a fair deal, she would still feel guilty. She would think that she was taking advantage of Angor's "deal" and didn't need to compensate for it.
Of course, this only applied to ordinary people who weren't shrewd enough. To the scheming and scheming Magi, a deal was a deal. Even if one side took advantage of the other, there was no need for compensation.
He was willing to give it a try because he could tell that Troissa was just like most other elemental creatures. She was a blank piece of paper, which was why she was easily affected by such simple psychological effects.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Troy didn't feel guilty, it didn't matter.
Activating Ocean Rhythm would only cost him a small amount of energy.
In Angor's opinion, it wasn't a bad deal to save a day or two.
Troissa had no idea what was going on in his mind. All her senses were focused on the 'Ocean Rhythm', so when Angor nodded, she accepted the deal without hesitation.
Without hesitation, he activated Ocean's Rhyme and covered Troissa in an illusion.
Three minutes later, Troy opened her eyes.
Compared to before, Troisa didn't seem to have changed much. However, her eyes were much clearer and more penetrating than before. The raging aura around her had also become much calmer. This calmness didn't mean that she was dead. Instead, it hid the raging aura in the deeper depths of the ocean.
It was hard for outsiders to judge. Only Troy herself knew how much of an advantage she had gained this time.
It was a shame that she didn't survive to the end of the world of Ocean Rhythm. But even so, what she gained was enough to push her to an unimaginable height.
As long as she had enough time, she believed she could even become a reserve sovereign.
Of course, this was just a thought.
Even so, it was still extremely shocking.
Knowing that she had gained a great advantage this time, she began to look at Angor with friendliness.
As Troy digested the fortune brought to her by Ocean Rhythm in the future, she would feel even closer to Angor.
This was what Angor and Troysa got from their deal — a long-term, close relationship.
And he only paid a little bit of energy.
"Thank you, mister." Troy tried her best to hold back her excitement and nodded.
"It's just a deal." Angor put away the Ocean's Rhyme and spoke to Troissa in a calm tone.
Troy didn't say anything. But in her mind, she was thinking, "It's a baptism for me." It wasn't just a deal.
Angor knew what Troissa was thinking, but he pretended that he didn't know and kept acting like it was a "fair trade", which made Troissa feel even more guilty about taking advantage of Angor's offer.
"Since we've made a deal, then —"
"I'll take you to Lady Frost's palace right now, mister," Troy quickly said.
With that, Troyza tapped lightly, and the surface of the ice cracked open, revealing the dark, bottomless river of ice below.
A giant bubble appeared in the middle of the frozen river, which Troysa asked Angor to go inside.
He didn't mind it at all. Following a series of gurgling noises, the air bubble was pushed into the dark ice river at an incredible speed.
…
Angor's journey under the river continued.
He was surrounded by darkness, and he could hear strange splashing noises from time to time. However, he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he looked at the glowing mermaid outside the bubble.
Yes, it was a mermaid.
This was Troy's true form, an elemental creature in the shape of a mermaid.
Compared to her normal upper body, her tail was extremely long, reaching more than ten meters in length. The white scales with a hint of blue contained both the gentleness of water and the sharpness of ice.
Because of the tail, this was the most elegant and simple mermaid form Angor had ever seen.
Perhaps only elemental creatures could have such a long tail. It was rare to see something like this in the real world.
After admiring the mermaid for a while, Angor spoke to Troy, who was "guarding" the bubble, "I've been wondering about something. Can you help me?"
Troisa nodded without hesitation, and even addressed him respectfully. "Please go ahead, sir."
"I want to know why you are interested in Dan Gross."
Since Troy knew Dankros, she should know how special the creature was. Now that Troy had taken Dankros away, she couldn't possibly do anything to him, right? Besides, Dankros was an elemental spirit.
Angor was curious about why Troy wanted Dankros.
When Dankros heard the question about him, although he did not dare to stretch his head out to look at Troy, he still pricked up his ears, wanting to hear her answer.
Troisa was silent for a while before softly saying, "Because I have great respect for Lord Kalomonkis."
When I heard that a fire-type creature named Dankros was born from his remains, I always wanted to meet it. "
Dankros thought to himself. Meet me? Is she … worshipping me from afar?
"I want to see if it's qualified to call itself a descendant of Lord Kalomonkis."
"Is that why you're interested in Dankros?"
Troissa nodded. "Yes."
"So what's your answer now? Do you think Dankros is qualified to call itself a descendant of Lord Kalomonkis? "
Dankros also stretched out his palm curiously and secretly looked at Troy.
Troisa glanced at Dangros and snorted in disdain.
She didn't give a direct answer, but she already knew the answer when she saw how angry Dankros was.
