Angor opened his eyes, stretched, and stood up.
He went to the dream wasteland again and left a message for Sunders through the trees about Black Earl and Augustine's alchemy omen.
Angor wasn't sure if the Noah Clan had anything to do with Augustine from Nether City. Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, Angor decided to tell Sunders about it since he already knew about Nether City.
As for Iron Granny and the others, Angor didn't say much. They all knew about Nether City, but it was a secret of Phantom Island. Sunders never mentioned it, so Angor didn't want to talk about it.
After returning to the real world, Angor decided to check out the dagger he just crafted.
Dangros was holding the short sword in his hand, and he was jumping up and down as he waved it. The entire underground cavern was now filled with glittering golden lights.
"Stop playing. Let me see the dagger," Angor stopped Dangros from playing.
Dangros quickly stopped waving the dagger and hopped to Angor's side to hand the dagger over.
Angor inspected the dagger. Just as he expected, it could be used as a top-tier mid-tier alchemy weapon. It had armor-piercing, sharpening, and tearing effects. The first two effects were ordinary, but most weapons would have such runes on them. Only the tearing effect was interesting. Once the weapon was torn apart, it would bleed profusely, and no healing spells would be able to heal it.
Because of this effect, the dagger could be considered a top-tier mid-tier weapon.
These few offensive mageweaths were only a few mageweaths that came with the mysterious Magical Array, and yet they were enough to make the dagger reach the Intermediate level. The dagger's real function was to open the door. However, the magic array concealed the dagger. No one except Angor could see the hidden part of the magic array.
Including the magic array, the dagger was at least a high-tier weapon.
It would make sense if the dagger was a high-tier item. If Angor didn't go to Nether City and read the real 'Love Poem', he would have been completely lost in the omen.
He sighed for a bit and put these thoughts aside.
Angor weighed the dagger in his hand. Including the hidden magic array, this was the second top-tier item he had ever made. The first was the Ocean Rhythm.
Kael had made a huge profit this time. He had only used a few materials to trade for a high-grade item. This was definitely a profitable trade. Even among official Magi, not many of them had high-grade items.
High-level tools were not easy to refine. Alchemists who could refine them were rare, and the omens they faced were also very frightening. Therefore, every high-level tool was very valuable.
The only pity was that this high-grade short sword could only reach the high-grade because of the function of the key. Even without this function, he was still only an Intermediate if he used a regular weapon.
While Angor pondered, Dangros was staring at the dagger with glowing eyes.
"What's wrong?" Angor noticed Dankros' strange behavior.
Dangros said excitedly, "This weapon is also thanks to me, right?"
Angor was a little surprised. He nodded. "Of course. Control of the fire is important. You did well. No, very well. Without you, the weapon would not have gone so smoothly. "
When Dankros heard the praise, he laughed foolishly.
"What's wrong? Are you asking me to reward you for your contributions? How many bottles of quenching liquid do you want? " Angor pretended to be generous, as if he would take all the quenching liquid Dangros asked for. In fact, Angor had already set an upper limit for Dangros. Ten bottles would be his limit. It was not that he did not want to give more. The quenching liquid had a catalytic effect. If Dangros took too much, it might spoil his growth.
Dangros wagged his index finger. "I'm not asking for a reward. I'm just happy that I contributed to the weapon."
At least Dangros felt that he was useful now. He was no longer a burden to Angor.
He gently patted the back of Dangros' hand. "I didn't expect to work so well with you. You're awesome."
Angor did not hesitate to praise Dangros. Besides, he was not lying.
Even Angor himself was surprised. He had worked with Dankros a few times before, but those were only small fights. This time, they worked together perfectly with a high-tier item.
Dan Gross really had a tacit understanding with him.
A new idea popped up in his mind. Kerokro wasn't as good as he thought. Maybe he should consider Dankros?
"I'm not here for the reward, but since you've mentioned it, I'll accept the reward, even if I have to. I don't want something common like quenching liquid. I want ten … no, a hundred bottles! "
Angor put away his previous thought. Maybe Dangros was better. At least the guy could not talk and react fast enough.
"I can only give you one bottle of quenching liquid, but I can give you ten bottles. Take your pick."
Seeing that Angor didn't change his mind no matter how hard Dankros tried, Dankros sighed and chose a bottle of Quenching Liquid.
He could not go back after using the quenching liquid.
Then, Dan Gross saw something that would take him a lifetime to heal.
Angor took out three bottles of quenching liquid from his bracelet and did something. A moment later, a bottle of quenching liquid was placed in front of Dangros.
Dangros pointed at Angor and did not say anything for a long time.
"I know you feel like you're losing money, but you can't just look at the quantity. You have to consider the cost of my work," Angor spoke in a casual tone.
However, Dankrose's eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with indignation.
But there was nothing he could do. Angor was right. Turning quenching liquid into quenching liquid required some work. Of course, this was the only thing that could comfort him.
Dangros licked his wounds, silently hugged the bottle of quenching liquid, and returned to his personal seat.
Angor placed the dagger on the table and thought for a moment. Then he touched a space node nearby and summoned Dorcas and Kael, who were waiting outside.
Dorcas quickly asked, "Just now, a golden light came from the underground ruin and illuminated the sky above the black market. Is that … an alchemy omen?"
Angor did not deny it. He pointed at the dagger on the table. "It's done."
Dorcas did not look at the dagger. He continued, "You have no idea how shocked the black market was. So many people came here. Even the Lawrence Family sent someone to ask about it. "
After all, Alchemists were still very rare, especially those who could craft Intermediate Alchemy Omens and above.
Sometimes, such omens could be seen in wizard organizations or supernatural cities. But in a place like the Wizard Fair, the chances were too low.
That was why such a big commotion happened. The Lawrence Family came here with a clear goal. They were here to poach Angor.
Of course, Dorcas knew it was impossible even without Angor's explanation. Kael was a big shot in the R&D department, and the Lawrence Family could not afford him. So, he simply told the public that an alchemist friend who happened to pass by helped him make something. That was enough to calm the crowd down.
Even so, there were still a lot of people gathered outside the ruins where Kael lived. Most of them were here to find an alchemist. Some of them were here to get in touch with Kael.
But they would all return empty-handed in the end.
While Dorcas sighed, Angor tossed the dagger to Kael, who was still standing there like an idiot.
Angor briefly explained the dagger to Kael. When he heard that it was a high-tier item, Kael's hands began to tremble in fear.
Dorcas, on the other hand, was staring at the dagger with glowing eyes. He wanted nothing more than to snatch it away.
Wandering wizards like them rarely came across high-tier items. Even if they saw one in an auction, they would not be able to afford it. Yes, Dorcas was such a poor bastard.
He had never touched a high-tier weapon before, and it just showed up in front of him without warning.
Dorcas held back his urge and pretended that he did not care. "You're just an apprentice. What do you know about high-tier weapons? Let me see."
Kael was also worried that he might drop the dagger, so he simply handed it to Dorcas.
Dorcas took the dagger and looked at it as if nothing had happened. But in his mind, he was already drooling over the dagger like an idiot.
Kael couldn't tell what Dorcas was thinking, but Angor, who was extremely sensitive to emotions, could easily pick up on it.
Angor glanced at Dorcas and added, "It's a high-tier item if you use it as a key, but it's only a mid-tier item if you use it as a weapon."
"Even so, it's still worth several times more than what you spent on it." Angor looked at Kael. "So, you didn't lose anything this time."
Kael quickly nodded and kept praising Angor.
Dorcas' interest in the dagger waned a little after learning that it could only be used as a mid-tier weapon. However, he still did not want to let go of the dagger. He kept twirling the blade in his hand as if he wanted to test it out.
Angor said, "The key is finished. Now, we have to explore it. Before that, I need to talk to Dorcas about something. Kael, if you want to listen, you can stay. But it's not always a good thing to know too many secrets. "
Kael turned around and left without hesitation.
After Kael left, Dorcas put down his dagger and stared at Angor. He knew that Angor's words would determine whether Vae's matter would be tolerated.
"Previously, I used some special methods to learn some interesting things. Do you want to know?"
Dorcas did not ask what method Angor used. He would not be surprised even if Angor directly contacted the higher-ups of Brute Cavern. There were many things in the research department that were not sold to the public, but people always wanted them. Small signal towers, for example, had already attracted a lot of attention. It was possible for Angor to contact someone.
"Yes." Dorcas nodded without hesitation.
Angor continued, "I learned something about the Black Earl. According to the person who told me, it should be fine if I take Vae with me."
Dorcas sighed in relief. However, Angor's next words made Dorcas frown.
"However, I received another piece of information from another place."
Angor picked up the dagger and played with it for a while. "The door this key is going to open might have something to do with the Noah Clan."
Of course, Angor was not certain about this.
However, the fact that Augustine Noah and the Black Earl were members of the Noah Clan was too suspicious.
Angor decided to plant the seed of doubt in Dorcas' mind first so that Dorcas would consider Vae's relationship with him.
