Maybe it was because Angor rarely cared about the future of Brute Cavern, Iron Granny was more interested in the topic than usual. She told Angor a lot of secrets about Brute Cavern.
Angor's eyes widened when he heard these stories. Many seemingly normal personnel arrangements were actually more complicated than they seemed.
For example, Horus, the "Lord of Winter". On the surface, Horus was sent to Floating Mech City because Angor had become a member of the R&D department, which gave apprentices of Brute Cavern the chance to study alchemy in Ashillia Comprehensive Academy.
Alchemy was a huge and valuable field. Once Brute Cavern could stabilize this field, more and more alchemists would be born, and it would no longer be an extravagant hope. Therefore, important matters related to the development of an organization needed to be protected by a powerful wizard. This was why Horus was sent to Floating Mech City.
However, this was only the surface situation. Horus was sent to Floating Mech City for a more important reason — to communicate with Floating Mech City on behalf of Brute Cavern.
This kind of in-depth communication covered all aspects, including the sharing of information about the Goman Kingdom and the formulation of strategies.
Of course, Brute Cavern also had representatives of other wizards before Horus, but they were of lower levels. As time went by, both organizations would need more high-level communication. However, the situation in the southern wizardry region was complicated. Sending a level-2 truth-finder wizard to Floating Mech City would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Angor's decision to become a member of the R&D department stirred up a storm in the wizarding world.
This gave Horus a legitimate reason to stay in Floating Mech City, while Rein took advantage of the situation to achieve his current status.
Horus' situation was not an isolated case. There were many other wizards who had their own missions like him.
One of them was "Fire Walker" Filo's teacher, a level-2 truth-finder wizard who was known as "Skyfire" in the southern wizardry region, Galinaya.
Galinaya had been training in The Tributary for a long time. Recently, he left Brute Cavern and went to the Abyss Plane.
According to Galinaya's explanation, he was going to travel to the outlands to look for magic materials and opportunities to break through.
However, if there were spies from other organizations who investigated this matter, they would eventually discover that Gallinaya's real mission in going to the abyss was not simply to find an opportunity to break through. In fact, he was secretly preparing to rescue Madeleine, who was captured by the East Sea according to Maya's prophecy.
If the spy had been more resourceful and continued to investigate, he would have discovered that other than saving Madeleine, Kalinaya was also looking for an opportunity to kill Dong Yue while her body was weak.
If the matter of ambushing and killing Dong Ming were to be exposed, it would definitely be a hot topic that would stir up a storm of public opinion.
But in fact, ambushing and killing Dong Ming was just an afterthought. Kalinaya's real mission was to be sent to the Abyss by Rhine to search for information related to the Goman Kingdom's desire for power.
Goman King's secret ritual must have come from the Abyss. If he wanted to find the answer in the Abyss, he would definitely not go wrong.
The reason why Gallinaya's mission alternated between light and dark was because Monchi absolutely wouldn't allow him to break the secret ritual. Moonfrost Union might notice something fishy if Gallinaya tried to find the ritual openly.
That was why Gallinaya had come up with such a reason to go to the Abyss.
After all, the most powerful human organization in the southern wizardry region was the Moonfrost Union.
"So there's a deeper meaning behind the arrangement of these people," Angor commented after listening to Iron Granny's explanation.
"The relationship between the major organizations in the southern wizardry region isn't as peaceful as it seems. They're constantly balancing each other and moving around in the dark. Whenever someone in an organization reaches a level where he or she can affect the balance of a war, he or she will attract attention. This is why many truth-finder wizards are too lazy to go out or use plane passageways to go out. If they leave openly or do something unusual, they'll be discovered by spies or intelligence agencies. "
"So there are spies in the organizations already?" Angor asked.
"Not really. Most of the spies' identities are already known. It's just that the organizations don't want to expose each other. There are still some spies hiding in the dark, but not too many.
"These spies are dangerous, but they won't pose too much of a threat."
Undiscovered spies were usually the kind who would never do anything to harm Brute Cavern unless they had no other choice. Otherwise, they would be exposed as soon as possible. This was why Granny Granny said they weren't too much of a threat.
"Also, the questing hall will release new missions every once in a while to lure out these spies.
"For example, the construction of the new city this time attracted a lot of potential spies."
Some seemingly important or special missions were used to lure the spies to self-destruct. This was a typical way to lure them out.
"By the way, as I said, anyone who can affect the balance of a war will be noticed by the major organizations." Iron Granny glanced at Angor. "You're already on their radar. Even if you're not strong enough to pose a threat, your identity as a member of the R&D Department is enough to attract attention. Almost every R&D member has to go through this.
"But you haven't published anything in the department yet, so there shouldn't be any spies watching you. But when the dream wasteland is revealed to the public, things will be different. When that happens, you should pay more attention to the people around you. "
Angor nodded.
The dream wasteland was going to cause a huge uproar. He didn't need Granny Granny to tell him that.
Still, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional after listening to Granny Granny's advice.
He now understood why Red Sword Dorcas emphasized that joining a wizard organization would mean losing one's freedom. Dorcas probably didn't want to go through this kind of situation where he had to follow the rules of the organization.
When they were done talking about these secrets, Iron Granny's teapot was already boiling hot. Their conversation was coming to an end.
"How's Mandehara doing?"
"Her soul is fine. But the negative energy inside her is boiling."
"Then why didn't you pull her into the dream wasteland first?" Iron Granny was confused.
She had seen Mandehara before, and she knew how the girl was doing. Once the negative energy went out of control, Mandehara's soul would probably go back to being an undead.
"She's trying to calm the energy. I also left a one-use Dream Walk spell on her. When she feels it's enough, she'll return to the dream wasteland on her own. "
Calm the energy? On her own?
Iron Granny was puzzled. As far as she knew, Mandehara also wanted to return to the real world and regain her half-undead abilities. Why would she do that? Besides, the dream wasteland was also a cage for Mandehara. Why would she want to go back there?
Angor chuckled at Iron Granny's question. "Maybe it's because she's bound to it."
Angor didn't explain what "bound" meant, but he believed Iron Granny would understand.
"Mandehara isn't hurt at all. On the other hand, the eldest princess's daughter would have been dead by now if she had been outside the castle. "
"What do you mean?"
Angor briefly explained the situation to Iron Granny.
After Mandehara snuck into the Princess' Castle, she found that the magic array inside the castle could identify her soul, which allowed her to control part of the magic array without being restricted by it.
Without any restrictions, Mandehara began to exact her revenge on Maudia.
Even when Gray Raven joined the battle, Mandehara was still able to control the magic array so that Gray Raven couldn't get close to her easily.
Strangely, no matter how Mandehara beat Maudia up, she couldn't kill Maudia completely. Even if she was torn into pieces, Maudia would always recover in her room.
The magic array in Maudia's room was the part that Mandehara couldn't control.
Mandehara didn't know what was going on either.
However, Mandehara still remembered Angor's words. Since she couldn't kill Maudia, she didn't force it. Instead, she burned her own negative energy to contaminate Maudia's soul.
With that done, Mandehara left the castle.
Due to Maudia's soul being contaminated, as well as the special potion Angor brought from Mushroom Witch, her entire body was covered in mushrooms. Under such a heavy blow, Molodya directly fainted.
Under such intense stimulation, it was hard to say whether Molodya could still wake up. Even if she did wake up, she would probably lose her mind due to the contamination of her soul. Unless someone could find a way to purify her soul.
Personally, Angor hoped that someone could purify Maudia's soul.
Because to Molodya, going crazy wasn't a terrible punishment. Only living, and living without any hope, was the greatest punishment. It would be even better if Maudia added a permanent mushroom skin on top of it.
"I thought you asked Mandehara to kill the Princess."
"She can't?"
Iron Granny shook her head. "She can. She's just a nobody. It doesn't matter if she dies or not. As long as there's a good reason, it won't affect the overall situation. "
"But it's better to be alive than dead." Iron Granny sipped her tea. "If she's still alive, we can use this as an excuse to make a lot of trouble."
Goman King could easily blame Lady Maudia's death on someone who was already dead.
But if she was still alive, he would need an explanation.
He could even use this as an excuse to get involved in Goman's mess.
"If you don't want to get involved in Goman's business, just stay out of it. We'll leave the rest to the wizards who are sent to deal with it. "
Angor nodded. He didn't want to get involved in Goman's business anyway. Now that he knew the real reason behind Goman Kingdom's chaos, he was even more determined.
He wasn't interested in getting involved in something that would only bring him more benefits.
