Inside Kael's underground cave, Black Market.
Angor was annoyed that he was interrupted in the middle of his alchemy work. However, the dagger was ready, and it would take some time for it to solidify. Besides, Dankros had been using fire efficiently, so he needed to rest as well.
Fortunately, Angor was able to find some time to meet Dorcas, who suddenly came to him for something urgent.
Even so, he was still a little annoyed.
When he saw Dorcas and Kael and heard Dorcas' remorseful explanation, he felt even more annoyed.
"Another person? I don't even know who Wai is, and you're taking him with you? "Angor rubbed his swollen temples. He was already tired, and now he felt even worse.
Angor asked someone to help him predict danger before exploring the ruin because he didn't have any spiritual senses. And now he was being harassed by Dorcas.
What kind of stupid teammates are these?
"Wai's an old friend of mine. I know him. He doesn't want to go either. It's all because of the Black Earl …" Dorcas sighed helplessly.
"Let's not talk about the Black Earl for now. Let me ask you something. I know you have a strong premonition as a Wizard, and your Spiritual Sense often comes into play. But don't you find it boring to do everything you want to do?"
"When you followed me to the Princess' Castle, I thought you were quite fearless. I didn't expect you to become a coward once you lost your premonition."
Dorcas shook his head. "I'm not afraid of death. Even if my spiritual sense tells me it's extremely dangerous, I'll still go. Only by exploring the edge of death can I find a way to break through. That's always been my way of thinking.
"But this time, my spiritual sense suddenly stopped working, which made me feel strange. That's why I asked my old friend Wai for help. I used his sense of death to see if there was something wrong with my spiritual sense. "
Dorcas' explanation sounded sincere, and Angor believed half of it. "Did you find anything wrong?"
"Wai also smelled our blood, and he didn't find anything strange. This means his talent is the same as mine. So it's not a problem with my spiritual sense. It's just that the ruin we're exploring is a little strange.
"Perhaps because of this, the Black Earl discovered something and allowed Wai Yi to join the exploration."
Dorcas voiced out his deduction.
Angor tried his best to believe Dorcas' words. At least from a literal point of view, there was no problem. From a logical point of view, it was also reasonable.
Dorcas had a guilty look on his face, "Even if we rejected Vay, since the Black Earl knows about this matter, he will have other ways to follow us. It's my fault this time. "
"I asked Wa Yi to give me a day to think about it. I'm here to discuss it with you."
"Since the Dark Earl is a variable in this matter, why don't we just cancel this trip? Forget about your alchemy, I'll compensate you for all the materials. "
As long as Angor didn't show up, Dorcas believed that no matter what kind of scheme Angor had in mind, it wouldn't work.
This was because no one knew where the dagger corresponded to.
Moreover, the short sword had not been forged yet, so he could cancel it midway.
Dorcas already discussed this matter with Kael when he was outside, and Kael already agreed to Dorcas' proposal. Now, as long as Angor agreed, the matter would be settled.
He would pretend nothing happened.
Angor considered for a moment. He might have accepted Dorcas' proposal if it was before. It was just an alchemy quest anyway. As long as the reward was good enough, he didn't mind not doing alchemy.
But now that the quest might involve the space behind the wall in Nether City, Angor couldn't help but feel curious.
He really wanted to see if the wall in Nether City existed in the real world, and what it looked like.
Now, however, he had to consider other variables.
The Black Earl … Angor didn't know much about this wizard. He only knew that he was a super big boss who stood at the top of the pyramid. Even his teacher, Dorcas, had to respectfully address him as "sir".
Now that the Black Earl had his eyes on this matter, even if Angor was only an apprentice of the Black Earl, he still carried the Black Earl's nose.
This made it possible for some unexpected things to happen during this exploration.
"You two go out first. I need some time to think before I make a decision," Angor said to Dorcas and Kael.
Dorcas still wanted to say something, but he had already said what he needed to say. It was up to Angor to decide now. He nodded and left the cave with Kael.
Angor stood up and picked up Dankros, who was lying on the quenching liquid, and placed him near the sword.
He told Dankros to pay attention to the condensation process. If the condensation speed increased, Dankros should ignite the flame to slow it down. This way, he would be able to buy himself more time to do other things.
Dankros saw Angor's serious expression and nodded. "Alright, it's not hard. Leave it to me!"
Dankros patted his "chest" — or rather, his "palm" — with his little finger. For the first time, Angor felt that the little guy was quite reliable.
With Dankros watching over him, Angor didn't hesitate. He sat down on the sofa and entered the dream wasteland.
It had been half a day since Angor saw Iron Granny again.
This time, Iron Granny was sitting alone in the floating rose garden of the new city, looking down at the city that was getting more and more interesting.
"It's rare to see Granny drinking tea at the aquarium," Angor spoke from behind Iron Granny.
Iron Granny turned around and said, "I'm not the only one who frequents the aquarium. I can't even begin to describe how I feel when I see this supernatural city being built bit by bit. "
If one wanted to establish an Extraordinary City in the southern territory, then the amount of wealth expended was immeasurable. The Floating Mech City, for example, took many years to be completed bit by bit. There was also the famous City of Sand in Mesopotamia, which was built with the help of many super families and organizations behind the scenes.
Now, thanks to Angor, Brute Cavern was able to build a supernatural city of its own without spending any money. Moreover, this supernatural city was as beautiful as any other city in the southern wizarding region. It was built with the most luxurious materials and a unique style.
Iron Granny couldn't help but feel happy about it.
She didn't care that she was in the dream wasteland instead of the real world. Iron Granny already saw the potential of the dream wasteland. She believed that it could become a second world.
When that happened, the Shining City would be as magnificent as the one in the real world.
"You can build a city like this whenever you want. Next time, I can design one for you too." Angor didn't share Iron Granny's sentiments. He couldn't understand how important a supernatural city was to a wizard organization.
Iron Granny shook her head and didn't say anything. Angor was still young, and he had a bright future ahead of him. He didn't want to waste his time on old people like them. Angor needed to focus on the future.
"You said you rarely see me here, and I've rarely seen you visit me twice in a short period of time." Iron Granny smiled. "What is it? Is there a problem again? Tell me. I'll tell you if I can. "
Angor was a little surprised. Why would Iron Granny come to the dream wasteland whenever she was in trouble? Just like Dorcas' "Spirit Sense".
"What is it? If it's about Princess' Town, you don't have to worry about it. We already sent someone there."
Angor shook his head. "It's not about Princess' Town. I want to ask you something, Granny. Do you know anything about the Dark Count?"
Iron Granny didn't know what to say. She thought about all kinds of questions Angor might ask, but she didn't expect Angor to ask such a question.
"Do you mean 'Dark Count' or 'Dark Count'?" Iron Granny asked.
"No, not Lady Adelaia. I mean the Dark Count of the Noah Clan."
"The Dark Earl is a very …" Iron Granny's expression changed after she made sure she heard it right.
Iron Granny pondered for a while as if she was trying to find the right words to describe the Dark Count. "A mysterious wizard, I guess."
"You can see all kinds of mysterious things in the Noah Clan's territory. Also, I think the Dark Count likes to be mysterious. "
Iron Granny paused for a moment. "As for the Dark Count himself … I don't know what you want to know about him."
"I don't know how much I should know about him either. How about I tell you everything, Granny? Can you help me?"
Since he already told Iron Granny that he was going to explore the ruin, Iron Granny didn't mind.
Iron Granny considered for a moment. "So, you don't want to stop exploring the possible ruin, but you're worried that Waye, a descendant of the Noah Clan, might change your plan?"
Angor nodded.
Iron Granny considered. "I don't know much about the Dark Count, but he's a good friend of Rein. How about this? I'll go offline and ask Rein for you. "
Rein was a good friend of the Dark Count? This was the first time Angor heard about this. But it wasn't strange. There were only a few people who stood at the top of the pyramid in the southern wizarding region.
"But Granny, didn't you say Mister Rein had something to do outside?"
"I'll ask Tree Spirit to send a message. One of Tree Spirit's avatars is with Rein."
With that, Iron Granny slowly disappeared from Angor's sight.
Iron Granny asked Tree Spirit to send a message? Angor pondered.
He knew that Tree Spirit and his avatars couldn't cover more than Parmigi Highlands.
So Mister Rein was also at Parmigi Highlands?
According to Granny, Rein had something to do with the infiltration of spies, and he went to attack their nest. The nest of the spies was on Parmigi Highlands?
Wasn't Brute Cavern the only major organization in Parmigi Highlands? Why would Rein have to go there himself?
Angor had a feeling that this wasn't a "small matter" like Granny said.
About ten minutes later, Iron Granny and Rein both came online. Angor quickly changed Rein's entry point to the Rose Garden.
"I'm sorry for bothering you, Mister Rein." Angor quickly bowed.
Rein waved a hand. "Don't worry about it. It's just a bit of a hassle to deal with. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not."
"Troublesome?" Angor asked curiously. What's going on out there? "
Rhine chuckled. "Didn't Granny already tell you? You don't have to worry about this matter. It's not a big deal anyway. Let's talk about you. "
Angor knew that it was something serious. Did Rein have something to do with him? Angor wondered if Rein had something to do with him.
Iron Granny gave Rein an annoyed glance. Angor wasn't an idiot. The more Iron Granny tried to hide something from Rein, the more annoyed Rein would be.
Rein didn't mind at all. He only kept it from Angor because Angor was the first target of the Germinal believers. Now that other organizations had joined the fray, Angor, a "nobody", had long been forgotten by the believers. They were now fighting against other organizations.
At this point, it didn't matter if Angor knew about it or not.
Rein was looking forward to hearing more questions. Angor seemed to have guessed something already. Instead of asking about Parmigi Highlands, Rein began to talk about Wai Noah.
Rhine said, "Granny told me about what happened on your side. I'm very familiar with the Black Earl, so I can basically guess what the Black Earl sent his descendant to do."
"To put it simply, the Dark Earl smelled the scent of his passion."
"Something he loved?" Angor was puzzled.
Rein nodded. "You told Granny that Wai Noah was someone who didn't like to go out. Actually, it wasn't just Wai Noah. The Dark Earl is also a lazy man. He created something called 'his consciousness' because he didn't want to go out by himself. Instead, he asked someone to carry a part of his body outside. "
Angor didn't know what to say. That was a secret.
"Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with this. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the Dark Earl coming after you himself. Maybe he won't go out even if a demon comes. It's just an organ, and a nose at that, not a limb. That's easier to deal with. "
"You still have the Terror Demon I bought for you from Filthy Wing Caravan, right?"
Angor nodded. "Yes, Elmi."
"If that nose really wants to cause trouble, Elmi will be enough to deal with it. If you and Red Sword Dorcas join the fight, you might even destroy his nose."
Rein made it sound simple, and it sounded easy enough. However, the nose of a top-tier tier-3 wizard was already on par with Elmi's, who was a truth-finder wizard. Elmi wouldn't be able to handle the Dark Earl's hands and feet.
"I see. But let's not think about fighting. Is it a good idea to let Wai Noah go with us? You said you know what the Dark Earl is after. What is it after? "
