Mister Padt?!
There might be other people with this name in the wizarding world, but there was only one Mister Padt from Brute Cavern.
A super dimensional wizard!
Old Potter looked at Angor in shock at first, but soon, as if he suddenly thought of something, he bowed deeply to Angor with great respect.
"Forgive me for not recognizing you, mister."
"Enough with the excuses. Tell me what happened to the guide."
He already heard Abelle's explanation, but it didn't mean that he couldn't ask again. Maybe there would be more information.
Old Potter immediately understood that Angor was here to deal with the guide.
It would be best if he could save Lady Merlo as soon as possible. However, Old Potter didn't say it out loud. Instead, he carefully looked at Dorcas.
He knew Dorcas was a wandering wizard who had no connection with Brute Cavern. He didn't know why Dorcas was here.
Dorcas didn't notice Old Potter's cautious look. Maybe he did, but he didn't care. He was now fully focused on Angor.
Abelle always called Angor "mister", and Dorcas didn't know what this "mister" was. But now he knew. It was Padt.
Information about wandering wizards was not restricted. In fact, it was more widely circulated than most wizard organizations.
He was the most popular new Adept in the World of Adepts, the most discussed Adept in all major Adept magazines, and the Adept with the fastest rate of advancement in the past few centuries.
All kinds of titles were given to a wizard named Padt.
Was this "Padt" really the same Padt?
Angor nodded to Old Potter. "It's okay. Abelle already told us about this. Red Sword was there."
Abelle didn't necessarily know more than Old Porter. Angor was also reminding Old Potter that if Abelle didn't know about any sensitive information, he should hold it back for now. Dorcas was an outsider after all.
As a veteran, Old Potter naturally understood what Angor was implying. He organized his thoughts and began explaining from the beginning.
What Old Potter said was almost the same as what Abelle said.
However, today, Old Potter had heard some new insider information from the knights guarding the Princess' Castle. Soon, a group of royal knights would escort some criminals out of Princess' Town. He didn't know who they were, but Lady Merlo might be one of them. Old Potter didn't ask where they were going, but he guessed they were going to the capital.
Old Potter said, "Ever since this place was renamed Princess' Town, Goman King's Royal Knights would come here every once in a while. They would leave without a trace. I'm guessing that every time they come, it's actually to escort the captured superhumans away. "
Abelle pondered. "If that's true, why did the Goman Royal Family capture so many supernaturals? How dare they kidnap the guide of Brute Cavern? Aren't they afraid of getting hurt? "
The crowned parrot sat on Abelle's head with its legs crossed and said, "You asked Lonesome. Other than fighting prowess and flesh, what other uses did superhumans have? Goman King did not need the combat power of those Extraordinaries. He must have used their flesh for something. Maybe it's some kind of evil alchemy array. I heard about it when I was in the Origin Realm. Evil wizards like to mix all kinds of creatures together and make them into Stitched Monsters. "
The Parrot shuddered at the mention of Stitched Monsters. He assumed that the so-called Stitched Monsters were similar to the wolves in the human world, which were often used by adults to scare children.
"Is that true?" Abelle asked curiously.
"How should I know? I can only speculate. Stupid servant, don't you have a mind of your own? The first thing you need to learn to live in this world is to have your own judgment. Do you understand? "
Abelle was a little submissive, and the crowned parrot was her summoned creature. Therefore, Abelle did not dare to disobey. She quickly nodded in agreement.
Old Potter listened to the conversation between Abelle and the Parrot and grew curious. What's up with this parrot? Abelle didn't see it before she left.
"That parrot is Abelle's new summon," Angor explained.
The Parrot protested in a weak voice. "She's not just a summon. She's Abelle's master too."
Angor pretended he didn't hear anything. "What the parrot said is highly possible. Those captured supernaturals are mostly apprentices, and they're not that strong. Plus, they'll rebel if they have free will. To use the power of these supernaturals, one must first brainwash them or force them to sign a contract, which is troublesome.
"As for what the crowned parrot said, it's actually interested in the flesh of superhumans. That's possible. But it's hard to say whether it's an evil alchemy array. Maybe it's something even more evil than an alchemy array. "
While speaking, Angor recalled the image of the Crimson Crown. It was highly likely that it had something to do with the Great Demon God from the Abyss Plane. If Goman King had something to do with the Great Demon God as well, the Flesh Alchemy Array might be the best case scenario.
"As for Abelle's question about why they dared to capture the guide of Brute Cavern … maybe this is a turning point."
Abelle said, "A sign of a turning point? What do you mean? "
Before he could say anything, the crowned parrot slapped Abelle's face with its wing. "Can't you think for yourself? I just said you don't have a mind of your own, and now you're showing it? "
Abelle also felt wronged. "I really don't understand."
The Parrot humphed. "A turning point means that something unexpected has happened. Either it's madness at the end of the road, or it's a feast that's about to come to an end."
Abelle still didn't understand, but she didn't want to ask now, so she just nodded.
Angor gave the crowned parrot a thoughtful look. The bird was smarter than he thought. Abelle might have found a real treasure this time.
Angor didn't comment on the Parrot's words. "It doesn't matter. Whatever they want to do with the supernaturals, it has nothing to do with our mission.
But Old Potter, even if it's just a guess, we still need to spread the information. If it's true, the higher-ups will take care of it. "
Old Potter nodded. "I understand. I'll go write the secret report later."
Angor nodded. Now that Old Potter's information matched Abelle's, it was time for him to go to the Princess' Castle and check it out.
As for the reason behind it … it wasn't because Angor was lazy. He really didn't want to get involved.
Sunders warned Angor many times to avoid getting involved with Goman's treasure and the Goman King because they were troublesome existences for the entire wizarding world.
After all, the Goman Kingdom had hundreds of millions of citizens, and to a certain extent, these citizens were the Goman King's hostages.
The Goman King was cruel and insane. He even treated his own children as livestock, let alone ordinary people.
Angor didn't want to get involved. As the Parrot said, the "madness at the end of the road" and "the feast is about to begin" would be taken care of by the higher-ups of the major organizations. Angor wasn't strong enough to go against everything, so he didn't want to get involved.
"I'll go to the Princess' Castle to check it out. If possible, I'll save Miss Merlo." Angor looked at the others. "Old Potter, stay here. You too, Abelle. As for Dorcas …"
Angor didn't know what Dorcas was thinking. He could only give the man an inquisitive look.
"As I said, I'm here to watch the fun. I want to see it with my own eyes. I'll go with you, "said Dorcas.
Angor frowned. Dorcas added, "Don't worry. I won't hold you back. I'm good at hiding. I'm just going to watch the fun. If you need my help, I'll do whatever you say. "
Since Dorcas had already put it this way, Angor did not refuse and nodded.
"Before I leave, I need to talk to Old Potter alone."
Dorcas shrugged. "Then I'll go have a drink outside."
With that, Dorcas turned around and left.
Abelle hesitated for a moment before she was dragged away by the Parrot. Even when they were far away, Angor could still hear the Parrot muttering, "Why did a noble like me take in a stupid servant like you?"
After they left, Old Potter asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"
Angor didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out a finger and sent a strand of nightmare energy into Old Potter's forehead.
Angor used Fear, which was modified by nightmare energy into something similar to a hypnotic spell. It wouldn't scare Old Potter, but it would allow him to read Old Potter's real thoughts.
There were similar spells in Angor's Mind Illusions as well. However, Angor didn't know many illusionary cantrips or spells. Fear was the most commonly used one, and it was also the one he modified the most. As long as it worked, he didn't need to worry about the form.
Angor wanted to know Old Potter's real thoughts because he didn't fully trust Old Potter yet.
Even those who lived in the mirror world all year round would have traitors and spies, not to mention Old Potter who had been living in the Goman Kingdom for years.
For safety's sake, he decided to test Old Potter.
Angor asked questions, and Old Potter answered.
After several minutes of questions, Angor finally felt relieved. Old Potter truly cared about Brute Cavern. He was neither a traitor nor a traitor.
The only thing he lied about was the reason why he accepted the mission.
Old Potter told others that he couldn't reach the next level, so he accepted the mission and lived his life away. However, that wasn't the truth. Old Potter had reached the bottleneck of becoming a late-stage apprentice, and he couldn't find a way to break through for many years. However, he never thought about giving up.
He came to Princess' Town because of the chaos in the Goman Kingdom. It was a dangerous place, but the more chaotic it was, the easier it was to get resources.
At least, Old Potter had obtained a lot of resources through various means over the years. It was much better than staying in Brute Cavern.
However, Old Potter still couldn't break through. It wasn't because of him. It was because he didn't have enough knowledge.
Old Potter had obtained the resources he wanted, but without the guidance of a teacher, the lessons in Tree Spirit Garden, and the materials in Cloud Library, he still couldn't break through the bottleneck.
Old Potter had already decided to work for a few more years before returning to Brute Cavern.
Old Potter lied about this, but Angor didn't think it was a big deal. Everyone had their own plans for the future. Old Potter was obviously doing it himself. As long as he didn't betray Brute Cavern, it was normal for him to be selfish.
Angor snapped his fingers, and Old Potter's lifeless eyes immediately became clear again.
Angor didn't block Old Potter's memory, so Old Potter still remembered everything he said. Old Potter's expression became a little complicated, but he didn't dare to say anything about Angor's identity.
Angor spoke, "I'm sorry about that. But it's part of the process."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot on the ground. A black shadow instantly appeared and surrounded Angor and Old Potter.
It was an enclosed space created by Elmi.
"What I'm going to tell you next is a secret of Brute Cavern. Because of this, I had to perform an alignment test on you, and you passed. "
At this moment, Old Bo still had some doubts in his heart. Was it really because he wanted to tell him a secret that he had been hypnotized?
Angor didn't mind Old Potter's suspicious look. He took out a standard monocle from his bracelet and handed it to Old Potter.
The monocle was the log-in device for the dream wasteland.
Angor gave it to Old Potter so that he could send information more easily. Angor didn't want to get involved with the Goman King, nor did he want to know why they captured supernaturals. However, if what the crowned parrot said was true, this was a serious matter. It would be best to send this information to Brute Cavern as soon as possible so that Mister Rein could make a decision.
Of course, Angor could do it himself. But he didn't know the Goman Kingdom as well as Old Potter, so it was better to let Old Potter explain it himself.
Besides, this was also a benefit Old Potter received from Angor.
What Old Potter wanted the most right now was knowledge. He had enough resources, but he couldn't turn them into his foundation. This was what troubled him the most.
Now that he had the log-in device, Old Potter could go to the dream wasteland and ask for help. Although the new city's library was still in planning stages, the Elder of Books was in charge of the Cloud Library, and without the Elder of Books' permission, no books could be brought into the Dream Wasteland. Even so, some basic books could still be found, and some wizards who were too lazy to attend classes in the Tree Spirit Garden held classes in the new city as well. Old Potter could also seek out these wizards for guidance.
Of course, Old Potter didn't know about these benefits yet.
Angor explained how to use the log-in device to Old Potter and stopped teaching. He planned to send Old Potter to Iron Granny so that Old Potter could ask her if he had any questions. Also, Iron Granny could tell Mister Rein about the Goman Kingdom so that he could make further decisions.
With that done, Angor asked Old Potter to find a safe place to use the log-in device.
Old Potter was still doubtful, but he still followed Angor's instructions and put on the monocle.
After making sure Old Potter had entered the dream wasteland, Angor quietly put away Elmi and left the room.
There was no need to worry about Old Potter anymore, as he had already made contact with Granny. Now, it was time to settle the matter of the guide being captured.
