There was a thick stack of envelopes inside.
The silver seal had the emblem of the Silver Heron Royal Family on it.
Angor removed the seal and took out a thin piece of parchment from the leather envelope. Although it was thin, it was still much thicker than the pulp paper.
"As expected of a royal family." Angor raised an eyebrow.
Freud saw the parchment and understood why Angor would say something like that.
Since Angor chose to use a more noble leather envelope, he had to put some parchment inside. A leather envelope and parchment would only make the letter this thick.
This was the typical style of nobles. Formality was more important than anything else.
Freud knew Angor well. Angor was born a noble, but he didn't really care about the formality of nobles. Angor didn't like Dreud's noble style at all.
Angor's teacher, Sunders, might have accepted such an arrangement.
Angor unfolded the parchment and saw a large number of words.
It took him several minutes to read everything.
Angor considered for a few seconds and handed the parchment to Freud.
Freud skimmed through the letter and realized that it was mostly nonsense. Most of it was about how the royal knights investigated the matter, how many people they found, and how they "coincidentally" found a clue from a sea merchant.
This was also a typical formality.
However, putting aside the previous nonsense, this clue alone was still quite valuable.
It pointed to the first image Dodoro showed, which was the emblem on the leather boot of the mastermind.
According to the information the frontline knights got from a sea merchant, the emblem on the boot probably belonged to a family from the Nightlily Kingdom on Feyron Continent called the Manbadger Family.
Since Feyron and the Land of Revelation had a lot of trade, the Central Empire had some records about Feyron Continent.
However, there wasn't much information to be found on the vast ocean. Neya searched through a lot of documents and found only a few pieces of information about the Manbadger Family. In the end, she confirmed that the Manbadger Family was a local noble family from the Windchime County in the Ledo Province of the Nightlily Kingdom.
However, whether or not the emblem belonged to the Manbadger family had yet to be confirmed, but Neya had already urged the knights to rush to the neighboring Hai 'an Principality. That place had trade relations with the Ledo Province, so there might be people who recognized the emblem.
However, most sea merchants would not deliberately lie to the royal family for the convenience of their trade. The probability of the Manbadger Family's emblem on the boots was very high.
"According to the style of the nobles, clothes and boots engraved with their family emblem usually belong to their relatives." Freud said, "If we can confirm that it's the Manbadger Family's emblem, then they're probably from the Manbadger Family."
Angor nodded. As a noble himself, he knew better than anyone else. If such clothing was engraved with the clan emblem, it could only be worn by members of the clan. After Old Padt passed away, only Angor and Leon were allowed to wear the emblem of the Padt Family.
The other party's boots had the emblem of the Manbadger Family, so there was a high chance that he was from the Manbadger Family.
"So, the Manbadger Family is probably a supernatural family?" Freud asked.
"It's also possible that one of their members was talented enough to be recruited into the wizarding world."
"But no matter what, we should be able to find them as long as there are records left behind."
Angor nodded. This was the only clue they found, but they should be able to find the identity of the man in leather boots very soon. Since the man in leather boots was one of the masterminds behind the altar, it would be much easier to find out who he was.
"Let me know as soon as you find anything else."
Angor checked the time and saw that it was almost time to meet up with Ness in the dream wasteland.
"Sir, there's one more thing —" Freud suddenly spoke up.
Angor stopped constructing the Dream Walk spell and looked at Freud.
"Drew brought another piece of news just now. It's about Dankros."
"Dangros? Didn't he go to Saint Sem City? What happened? " Ever since Dangros left the Tide Realm, he was very interested in everything related to humans. He always wanted to visit a human city. Angor spent most of his time studying the mirror space, so he asked Drew to take Dangros to Saint Sem City so that he could "see the world".
"Did he cause any trouble?" Angor frowned.
Freud's expression was a bit strange. "Nothing serious. Half of the palace of the Silver Heron Royal Family was burned down. Since the palace was close to Cypress Street, the whole street was burned down …"
"Luckily, most of the residents of Cypress Street went to check out the sculptures in the square. The remaining residents, with the help of the Knight Guards, managed to escape. Only a few pets were burned to death. "
Burned down a palace? And burned down an entire street?
Angor frowned. "I told it to restrain its fire. What's going on?"
Freud sighed and explained the situation to Lucien.
Dankros could not be blamed for this. It was the fault of an apprentice adept named Fritz.
Fritz was a member of the Silver Heron Palace Wizards. Similar to Drew, Fritz was a scholar who loved to study. In fact, he was even more of a homebody than Drew. He spent most of his time in the palace doing all kinds of research.
When Fritz was training in the Tower of Hurricane, he was one of "Mithril Innovator" Jellal's alchemy assistants. During that time, Fritz learned a lot of alchemy skills. However, compared to Tooling, he preferred Apothecary, which was why he spent most of his time studying Apothecary.
Unfortunately, he wasn't very talented. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
After coming to the Central Empire, Fritz didn't give up on studying Apothecary. He even "developed" many new potion formulas. However, these so-called new potion formulas were all just his imagination. Basically, they had not entered the experimental stage of the potion because his skills did not allow it and he could not afford the materials.
The formula that Fritz came up with was called "Boiling Blood Red Water". In order to experiment with this new formula, Fritz collected many related materials. However, he still couldn't make "Lithogen Fluid Sol".
Lithogen Fluid Sol was also one of Fritz's ideas. It was a new type of auxiliary conversion agent made by adding floating gel into a special magic ore. It wasn't difficult to make it. The difficult part was melting it.
It required extremely high temperature to melt it.
And this required the help of fire.
Fritz had a way to make his fire hot enough to melt the magic ore. However, he couldn't do anything about it.
Fritz had tried many ways over the years. However, this place was far away from the sea, and he couldn't find any powerful Sub-Elemental Wizards to help him.
That was until he met an intelligent fire creature with a high temperature … Dangros.
"That's right. Although Dankros melted, Fritz overestimated his research standards. After the melted lithogen gel, it ignited and quickly burned down the palace." Freud sighed. "The fire was so strong that even the royal wizards couldn't control it."
"Not even Neya?"
"Neya wasn't there. But even if she was, she couldn't control the fire. It's a special type of fire."
"How did they manage to control it?"
Freud said, "Dankros absorbed the fire. Dangros was stunned when he tried to make the Lithogen Fluid Sol. It took him five minutes to come back to his senses, but the fire had already spread to Cypress Street.
"But we're still lucky. At least no one was burned to death."
Angor sighed in relief. He thought Dankros had done something bad to him. All in all, it was clear that Fritz was the one with the bigger problem.
"How's Dangros now?"
"Dangros wasn't punished, but Neya locked Fritz in a small dark room. But Drew said that Dangros was in a bad mood recently. I think it has something to do with the burning of the palace. "
"Drew said he wanted to tell you about Dangros' recent situation. "But from what I can see, the royal wizards must be afraid of Dankros. That's why they sent Drewe to deliver the message to you."
In other words, they wanted Angor to take Dangros away as soon as possible.
Angor nodded. "I see. I'll go check on Dangros later."
Angor was surprised that Dangros could create a fire that could melt the Lithogen Fluid Sol. Angor used to think that Dangros was more of a socialite than a flame master. But now, it seemed that Dangros' fire ability wasn't bad at all.
Angor decided to check it out when he went to pick up Dangros later.
For the first time, Angor was curious about Dangros' fire ability.
…
Before going to Dangros, Angor had to prepare for his appointment with Ness.
When he entered the dream wasteland, he found himself in Ness' attic again.
He nodded to Torras and Mandrake and went to the second floor.
To his surprise, the second floor was much cleaner this time. The messy piles of books on the floor were all placed neatly against the wall.
The side windows and skylights that were covered by piles of paper last time were all cleaned up. The windows on the walls and ceiling were all open, allowing natural light to enter the room. The slightly crowded second floor now looked a bit more spacious.
Angor was wondering why Ness was so diligent all of a sudden. But when he walked around the bookshelves and approached the desk, he finally understood.
Near Ness's desk, there was an exquisite tea table. A kind old lady with a head full of silver hair was sitting beside the tea table, holding a teacup and elegantly stirring it with a spoon.
Angor finally understood why Ness was working so hard. It was because Iron Granny was here.
"Granny." Angor bowed to the old woman.
Iron Granny smiled and gestured for Angor to sit on the opposite side of the table. She even made a cup of flower tea and placed it in front of Angor.
More importantly, Iron Granny took out a glass of milk and poured it all into the tea for Angor to taste.
"So everyone knows about my preferences now …" Angor thought.
"Granny, are you here because of the altar?" Angor came here to discuss the clues he saw in Dodoro's prophecy.
He also knew that Ness went to Iron Granny to ask for more information. However, Angor didn't expect Iron Granny to show up in person. He didn't expect Iron Granny to come.
After all, the matter of the Catacombs altar was not a big deal.
"Yes." Iron Granny took a sip of her tea and nodded.
"You're interested in the altar too, Granny?"
Iron Granny: "I wasn't interested before, but after seeing Dodoro's prophecy, I'm interested."
"What did you see in Dodoro's prophecy, Granny?" Angor asked curiously.
Iron Granny lowered her eyebrows. After a moment of silence, she said, "I saw … an old friend in the picture."
