"It's all thanks to you. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to see it."
Iron Granny saw Angor's confusion and explained, "Antonio is the one who takes care of all the items in Floating Mech City. Only the deceased's relatives or Antonio's permission are allowed to see the items."
Ness nodded. "That's right. Miya's relatives are all dead, so I thought she would put my name on the list. But she didn't."
Iron Granny gave Ness a cold glance. "You're still as thick-skinned as I always am."
Ness chuckled. "I'm just guessing. I've been in close contact with Miya before. You can say that we're close friends."
"So you don't even know when she died?" Iron Granny sneered and turned to Angor. "Brute Cavern has a similar system. Unclaimed items left behind by wizards are kept by Tree Spirits."
Ness joined them. "You don't have to worry about your funeral when you die. Even the Phantom Island can help you pack up your belongings. I remember you have an older brother, right? You can also go to Mister Tree Spirit and register your brother's name. When you die, your brother will inherit your belongings. "
"…" He knew Ness was talking about the rules, but why was he clenching his fists even tighter?
Iron Granny took a deep breath. "Shut up. I'll do the rest." Iron Granny's eyes were filled with coldness.
Seeing that Iron Granny was about to get angry, Ness shivered and didn't dare to do it again. But it didn't last long. Several seconds later, Ness mumbled, "I didn't say anything wrong …"
"Shut up!"
Ness froze on the spot and stopped talking.
Iron Granny waited for the atmosphere to calm down before she continued, "Normally speaking, Miya's letter shouldn't be taken out. But Antonio found it in his inventory anyway when he heard that it was you who wanted to read it."
Without Angor's help, Iron Granny wouldn't have been able to get it done.
"Antonio values your opinion," Ness added. Iron Granny glared at him and he hurriedly made a gesture of closing his mouth. "I won't say anything. I promise I won't." Iron Granny looked at Ness and Ness.
"Oh, Antonio. I haven't seen him in a long time." Angor missed the "gentle" deity who always acted in a serious manner.
"Antonio misses you as well." Iron Granny paused for a moment. "Speaking of which, Antonio asked me to tell you something."
"Granny, please speak."
Iron Granny said, "So far, drama boxes have become popular in Floating Mech City, and your name has been recognized by most people. However, the drama box is ultimately a trick. It expects you to release new works. "
Angor nodded. As a member of the research department, it was his responsibility to publish new products in the department. He was already prepared for it.
"Also, Antonio told me that the main reason why he's looking forward to your new work is because there's already news about Dongfeng."
"Grafting Freak, East Sea?" Angor was surprised. "You have news about her? What about Madeleine? "
During the Stargazing Day, Maya saw how Madeleine was killed by Dongfeng. Now that there is news from the east, how is Madeleine?
"Don't worry. We already sent people to the Abyss Plane after the Stargazing Day. We haven't received any new information yet, but Madeleine should be fine."
Iron Granny paused for a moment before continuing, "Dongfeng hasn't returned to the department yet, but since she already received news about Madeleine, she'll probably do something to you."
Dongfeng was an extreme antagonist of the research department. She would actively oppose almost every member who joined the department. Back when Angor joined the department, Dongfeng didn't join him because she was trapped in the Abyss Plane. But if she returned, she would definitely raise her flag of opposition.
Dongfeng was a terrible person, but her alchemy skills were not to be underestimated. Her alchemy skills, especially when it came to alchemy modification. If she openly questioned Angor's alchemy skills, it wouldn't do Angor any good.
Besides, Angor already had a grudge against Dongfeng, and Dongfeng also wanted Angor's body. It was very likely that Dongfeng and Dongfeng would fight against each other.
Under such circumstances, Angor had to either retreat or take the initiative to attack. Retreating wasn't the style of the research department, so Antonio suggested that Angor release a product that could turn Dongfeng's words into nonsense.
"I see." Angor nodded.
Iron Granny thought Angor was worried about what would happen next. She took a sip of her tea and said, "Madeleine and Dongfeng have a blood feud. Madeleine has a chance to 'kill' Dongfeng in the Abyss Plane."
Ness widened his eyes and stared at Iron Granny. She was going to be an outsider.
Angor knew what Iron Granny meant. He shook his head and smiled. "Madeleine wants to eat Dongfeng alive. But I'm sure she wants to kill Dongfeng with her own hands. After all, she's not that far away from Dongfeng right now. She still has a chance.
Speaking of which, what do you think of the dream wasteland's login device, Granny? "
Iron Granny gave Angor a thoughtful look. "That's a good one. So you've decided what to do."
Considering the current situation, if Dongfeng really wanted to question Angor, the tea party held by Brute Cavern would be the best time to do so. By then, all the wizard organizations would be paying attention to the tea party. Also, the witches had a natural talent of "spreading information and writing gossip." This powerful ability could help Dong Hai achieve his goal in a short period of time.
Angor already planned to release the login device in a small circle during the tea party. Therefore, Angor and Dongfeng had the same idea.
As for Angor's "Logger" and East Ocean's "Doubt", who was going to win? Was there even a need to ask?
Ness narrowed his eyes at Angor. Angor was going to use Dongfeng as a stepping stone?
"Since you already have a plan, let's put it aside for now. We haven't gotten back to the main topic yet. "
Iron Granny hesitated. She was going to ask Ness to tell her about Mia's letter, but when she saw Ness's creepy expression, she decided to do it herself.
"Antonio has retrieved Mia's handwritten letter from the Legacy Vault. After some searching, he found the content of the two talents' report. Iron Granny said, "According to the records, it happened on Sidro Island in the year 7346 of the new calendar."
Those two talents were the natives of Sidro Island, and they were a pair of brothers. They lived in a small fishing village along the North Sand Coast of Sidro Island. They had lived there since they were young, fishing for a living. If they hadn't met Mia, they might have become famous fishermen in the future.
When they were 14 years old, in the middle of summer in the year 7346 of the new calendar, something happened to them that changed their worldview.
They were fishing by the sea when they suddenly saw a group of people flying toward them on the surface of the sea. They were so scared that they began to doubt their own existence. How could humans run on the surface of the sea?
They hid behind a palm tree and saw a group of cloaked figures with numbers tattooed on their faces chasing a short-haired man into the depths of Sidro Island.
At that time, they were young and were very confused by people flying around. Although they were very scared, curiosity won over everything and they secretly followed. Then, they saw a shocking scene. From time to time, the group of cloaked people would emit flames and light waves, aiming at the short-haired man in front of them. Smoke and flames were everywhere along the way, burning a few mountains in succession. Some of the mountain peaks were even shaved off, completely changing the landscape.
The cloaked figures were too fast for them to catch up, so they had no choice but to turn back.
The incident didn't happen again, but it did change their worldview and made them look forward to the supernatural world. It was also one of the reasons why Mia could easily recruit them into Floating Mech City.
Iron Granny finished her story and took a sip of tea to soothe her dry throat. Angor began to think about the whole incident.
There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the whole incident. It could only be considered as a coincidence of two ordinary people witnessing a supernatural event.
However, the location of this incident did evoke a few thoughts in his mind …
"Sidro Island … Why does it sound so familiar?" Angor mumbled. He had a feeling that he had heard the name somewhere before.
"Just like your hometown. We call it the Fringe Island, but you call it the Old Earth. Sidro Island is the same. For those two brothers, it's the standard name. But in the wizarding world, it's often called Sidro Fog Island, "Iron Granny explained.
"Sidro Fog Island!" Angor quickly realized something. "I remember now. It's one of the rare living islands at Devil's Water."
Devil's Water was filled with strange weather, giant sea monsters, and evil creatures. Ships traveling through Devil's Water had to spend every day in fear.
Very few living beings dared to set foot in a region like this, apart from shipping companies with adepts backing them, and pirates who didn't care about their lives.
Angor had experienced the dangers of Devil's Water himself. He thought there wouldn't be any islands or continents with living people at Devil's Water.
However, after joining Brute Cavern and reading up on various information, he learned that there were living islands at Devil's Water.
For example, Summerdew Ridge, where the basket witch lived, and Sidro Fog Island.
Summerdew Ridge was the territory of a wizard organization, so it wasn't surprising that people could survive at Devil's Water. Sidro Fog Island, on the other hand, was just an ordinary island, and its inhabitants were all mortals.
It was rare to see a living island at Devil's Water.
The main reason was that Sidro Fog Island was located in a relatively good location, which allowed it to avoid extreme weather all year round. It was as if Sidro Fog Island was a safe zone at Devil's Water.
As for why Sidro Fog Island was like this, Angor didn't know yet. However, there were some theoretical experts who didn't explore the island on the spot. They speculated that it might have something to do with Sidro Fog Island's proximity to the Fog Zone.
Sidro Fog Island was named "Fog" not because of the foggy weather, but because it was right next to the infamous Fog Zone at Devil's Water.
The Fog Zone, also known as the Fog Sea or Fog Sea, was an extremely dangerous and uninhabited area.
Even the cargo ships of major shipping companies wouldn't enter the zone. All sea maps would mark the zone as a skeleton, which meant that no one would survive after entering the zone.
Its danger level could be compared to the Ghost Sea. It was said that terrifying sea monsters and ancient gods were hiding in the Fog Zone.
It was precisely because Sidro Bewilderment Fog Island was so close to such a dangerous place that All-Mouthy King had speculated that for the sake of balance, the surroundings of the extremely dangerous Bewilderment Fog Island were, in fact, relatively safer. Sidro Fog Island was lucky enough to be in a safe zone.
However, such words weren't credible at all.
Still, Sidro Fog Island was very safe. It was one of the few living islands at Devil's Water.
"But I don't think it's useful to find out where those two talents are," Angor mumbled.
"No." Iron Granny shook her head. "It's useful to know where they are."
Iron Granny continued, "As I said, those two talents live in a small fishing village near the North Sand Coast of Sidro Island. In other words, they live at the northernmost part of the island.
"Coincidentally, the fog zone is directly north of Sidro Island."
"Granny, you're saying those cloaked figures with tattoos on their faces came from the mist?" Angor frowned a little.
Iron Granny nodded. "That's Miya's speculation. She wrote it down in her notebook and reported it to her superiors. Unfortunately, Floating Mech City didn't take it seriously. After reading it, I think it's reasonable. "
The two talents saw with their own eyes that the group of people were running from the sea. There were no ships on the sea, and there were no islands nearby to replenish their energy. Judging from the destruction caused, they were not official wizards. How could a group of wizard apprentices run on the sea for such a long time without any supplies?
Miya believed that there was a place in the Fog Zone near Sidro Island that could accommodate the cloaked people.
Perhaps this place was an island in the misty belt, or perhaps it was a ship in the misty belt.
Either way, it was highly possible that the cloaked people came out of the Fog Zone.
"So, if we want to find them, we can go north of Sidro Island and go to the Fog Zone?" Angor asked.
"That's one way to do it. But it's still difficult."
"You're right."
"But it's not feasible, but we can make some adjustments." Iron Granny said, "Now that we know that the cloaked figures left traces of destruction on Sidro Island, we can send someone to investigate and trace back the traces that can't be erased."
It was all caused by the acolytes, so it was easy to find traces of the culprit.
"If you really can't find anything, then let the Prophets go. They should be able to find some clues." Ness couldn't help but interject. Iron Granny didn't say anything this time.
"But we don't have many Prophets, so we don't have to worry about them."
If a Prophetic Sorcerer had the time, they could go straight to the underground cavern. They might be able to find more clues through the traces left behind there.
"Then who should we send?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Seeing that Iron Granny wasn't going to argue with him, Ness said, "Later, I'll go to the questing hall and give out a quest. As long as the reward is good enough, someone will do it."
Since the quest involved Cazider World, Ness was prepared to do it himself.
"Thank you, Wizard Ness." Angor considered for a moment. "By the way, I've found a clue about those cloaked men."
"Oh?"
"One of them might be from Felon."
