"Hey, what are you guys talking about? What dagger? What key? "Dorcas tried his best to eavesdrop but still couldn't figure out what they were talking about.
Angor continued, "Basically, this alchemy blueprint is for making a special dagger. The dagger is a key that can open a hidden space."
Dorcas turned to look at Khael, who nodded as well. "Lord Chaowei is right."
Dorcas frowned. "So it's the key to a treasure?"
Kael rubbed his chin and nodded with a serious look. "It's possible."
"But you said the alchemy blueprint isn't valuable when I told you to leave us alone …"
Kael shrugged. "It's not valuable. Even if there's a treasure inside, it's useless if we don't know where the key is."
"Didn't you say Gaya's Travels mentioned something about it?"
"The hidden dimension that Wizard Gaya mentioned in her travels is not the same as the hidden dimension that corresponds to the key."
"The hidden place that Adept Gaya mentioned can also be considered a treasure trove. I've obtained quite a few things from there."
Kael paused for a moment. He didn't mention what he found.
Both Dorcas and Angor noticed Kael's awkward expression. This must be what Kael was trying to hide when he was talking about Gaya's Travels.
Kael must have gotten a lot of good stuff from there. Perhaps even official Magi would covet it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so nervous.
However, Dorcas and Angor did not ask about it, even though they already knew. Angor already had enough good stuff on him, so he didn't care about Kael's loot. Dorcas, on the other hand, was a little interested. But he didn't want to know because Kael must have told Sir Aesop about it.
Seeing that the two didn't ask any more questions, Kael let out a sigh of relief and continued, "This alchemy blueprint was one of the things we got. Both my mentor and I have seen it before. Although we know that it's a key, we don't know where it leads to."
Dorcas asked, "Then what did Jaya's Travels say about this alchemy blueprint?"
Kael shook his head. "Not much. He just mentioned that the item made from this alchemy blueprint could be a key that could open up a hidden area. Because of this, my mentor and I knew that it wasn't a dagger, but a key. "
"However, Adept Gaya didn't seem to be interested in this. She didn't even take this alchemy blueprint with her."
In other words, Gaya's Travels did not mention the space corresponding to the key.
After Kal-El finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
Dorcas and Kael looked at Angor at the same time.
From the conversation between Angor and Kael, it was obvious that Angor knew something. He even knew that the dagger was the key.
Did Angor know where they were hiding?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Angor asked a question he already knew the answer to.
Due to their difference in status, Kael didn't dare to ask, but Dorcas didn't care. He directly asked, "How did you know it was a key? Wouldn't normal people think it was a dagger?"
Angor didn't answer Dorcas' question. Instead, he looked at Kael. "If you don't know where the key is, why do you insist on making it?"
Kael spoke in a serious tone, "It's my mentor's suggestion. There's a connection between the key and the door. After making the dagger, we might be able to use this connection to find the door. "
"Also, my mentor mentioned that the runes on the dagger are very complicated. There are at least seven runes combined to form an alchemy magic array, which makes it an excellent weapon. Even if we can't find the door, we can still use it for self-defense. "
In other words, it was better to be prepared.
If they could find the door, they would be fine with the key. If they couldn't find it, they could just use it as a weapon.
"Mister Aesos, you're quite thoughtful," Angor sighed. He looked at Dorcas again. "Your question was wrong in itself."
"Normal people would think that this is a dagger, not a key. That's wrong from the very beginning. " "If that's the case, how did Wizard Gaya know that it's a key?"
Dorcas scratched his nose and didn't know what to say. He didn't consider Wizard Gaya's situation when he asked the question.
"So you're saying that I've seen too much?"
Angor didn't want to answer. Even Sir Aesos didn't know that the dagger was a key. If Angor answered, he would be putting himself above Sir Aesos.
"It's not about knowledge. It's about specialization," Angor said. "As an alchemist, I can't tell what the magic array on the dagger is, but the runes on the dagger are enough for me to read a lot of information."
"So you know it's a key by looking at the runes?"
Angor nodded noncommittally.
Dorcas looked disappointed. He thought Angor knew where the key was. He didn't expect the answer to be so professional.
"Then how did you know we got the alchemy blueprint from the labyrinth, sir?" Kael asked in a timid voice.
Kael kept his voice low and his posture humble, fearing that he might offend Angor by doing so.
Dorcas didn't know what the "labyrinth" was, but he knew what Kael meant. How did Angor know that the blueprint came from the labyrinth?
Angor looked at the two pairs of doubtful eyes and said lazily, "I can't tell you that. But if you're looking for the door, I might be able to give you some help. "
Both Dorcas and Kael's eyes lit up.
"So you do know where the key is!" Dorcas said without hesitation.
Angor didn't deny it this time. "I only read about it in some secret books. But that place is already a ruin. We need to go and see if the door is still there."
Angor was being polite, but everyone knew what he meant. If he wanted help, he had to join the "treasure hunt" team.
Kael nodded without hesitation. "As you wish, sir."
Dorcas knocked Kael's head with his knuckles. "Aren't you afraid of being tricked by him?"
Kael held his head and spoke in a weak voice, "My professor told me to listen to Mister Superdimensional's orders. I'm sure he didn't misread it. "
Since Kael mentioned Sir Aesos, Dorcas didn't have anything to say.
However, Kael knew that his professor only told him to listen to Angor's orders regarding alchemy, not the door.
Kael didn't care though. As a research maniac, he was very interested in studying ruins, and finding the door with the key was something that had been on his mind for many years.
Besides, he couldn't find the door without Angor's help. Kael didn't mind letting Angor join him. Even if Angor might get the treasure first, Kael believed that Angor wouldn't let him get nothing, even if it was for Sir Aesos' sake.
Even if Kael didn't get anything, he could still gain something by studying ruins.
"I have other things to do in Brute Cavern, and I don't have much time. I'll start deciphering the alchemy blueprints now."
He looked at Kael and Dorcas, then at the tunnel in the distance. His intention was clear.
"I'll be going then. If you need anything, sir, just touch a nearby space node, and I'll come as soon as possible."
The entire Catacombs was actually filled with Khael's spatial nodes. This was a defensive measure, but it could also be considered an alarm. Once triggered, Khael would immediately sense it.
Angor nodded and looked at Dorcas again.
Dorcas gave Angor a meaningful look and left with Khael without saying anything.
When Angor was alone in the underground cavern, he slowly sat down and opened the thick pile of parchment again.
As soon as the parchment was opened, Dankros, who was on his shoulder, began to spin around dizzily.
"Do you want to go back to your bracelet?" Angor asked.
Dangros quickly shook his head. "No, Headland is a mute. I don't want to face it."
You're wrong. Headland isn't a mute. It's retarded. It's a trait of Void Travelers.
Dangros pointed at the quenching liquid in his hand. "I want to find a place to soak in it."
He thought for a moment and took out Geometric Lock to block the spirit attack from the paper. Next, he placed a concave fireproof stone inside the lock and poured the quenching liquid inside. This would be Dangros' bath.
With Dangros out of the way, Angor asked Souling to guard the entrance before he looked back at the paper.
Angor could feel the spirit attack coming from the paper. However, he had experienced something similar before, which was even more violent, so he was somewhat immune to it.
When he first came to Nether City in the Nightmare Realm, he ran into that mysterious wall in the underground maze and was forced to suffer a spirit attack.
If it weren't for the help of Glutton Flower Lord, he would have died on the spot.
The spirit attack coming from this alchemy blueprint was almost the same as the one he encountered in the Nightmare Realm.
This was why Angor asked Kael if it came from the Garden of Labyrinth.
Kael couldn't go to the Nightmare Realm, so something similar could only come from the Garden of Labyrinth in the real world.
And he was right.
Angor had a strong feeling that the dagger made from the alchemy blueprint had something to do with the wall in Nether City in the Nightmare Realm. Maybe it could open the wall in the Nightmare Realm.
However, the wall in the Nightmare Realm was both mysterious and terrifying. According to Sunders, Angor couldn't even get close enough to see it. Angor was lucky enough to enter the passage and see the wall because of his high status in the Nightmare Realm.
Angor still didn't dare to touch the wall in the Nightmare Realm. However, if there was such a wall in the real world, he could go and check it out first.
This was why Sunders told Angor that he could help find the door with the key.
For one thing, he wanted to find out how to deal with the wall in Nether City in the Nightmare Realm. For another thing, even if he didn't help, a Prophet might be able to locate the door since the key was connected to the door.
Since there was a chance that a Prophet might find the key, he might as well tell them about it before they thought about it.
And as it turned out, he was right.
Angor successfully joined the "treasure hunt" team.
He wondered if there was such a wall in the real world like the one in Nether City in the Nightmare Realm.
Angor shook his head and began to decipher the alchemy blueprint.
