Hui Shang knew why they were acting like this. He regretted it now. He should have given up on the apprentice's duel after the official wizard duel. Things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Bai Shang was right. The other side did not seem to have any ill intentions. They had received a favor from the other side, but the evil woman had pushed Elmi and the others to the other side out of selfishness. To a certain extent, this could be considered as repaying kindness with enmity.
For this reason, Gray Merchant could only pretend that he did not see Angor's mockery.
Angor and the others did not speak. They all looked at Gray Merchant with cold eyes, waiting for him to speak first.
Gray Merchant sighed in his mind and took out a space capsule from his pocket and handed it to Vaay.
Vaay did not take it. Instead, he gave Gray Merchant a puzzled look. "This is …"
"An apology." Hui Shang's expression was sincere as he said apologetically, "The Demonic Elephant used the Eyes of Ancient Mysteries in order to win. As a teacher, this is a mistake in my teaching. I am ashamed, so I can only offer a small gift.
"I know that a simple apology is not enough. So, I brought Golem here to apologize. No matter what you want him to do, as long as he can get rid of the grudge, we will accept it even if he has to die here. "
With that, Gray Merchant dragged Golem out from behind him and pressed his head down, telling him to apologize to Vaay.
Golem did as he was told. He was still a bit slow, but he was doing much better than before.
Vaay frowned as he watched Gray Merchant and Golem acting like this. He did not know how to deal with the current situation. Instinctively, he wanted to ask Dark Earl for help. But when he looked back, he saw that both Dark Earl and Angor had retreated to the side of the Sage. They seemed to be whispering to each other and did not pay any attention to what was going on.
Dorcas, on the other hand, kept throwing glances at Vaay, as if he wanted to try something.
Wa Yi understood Dorcas too well. Just by looking at Dorcas's eyes, he knew that Dorcas was hinting at him to take the single-use space capsule and see if there was anything good inside.
Dorcas was not someone who would abandon his principles for profit, but he was always greedy for money.
Vaay did not pay attention to Dorcas' hint. He was more concerned about how to deal with the current situation.
His master and Mister Super Dimensional were not here, and Dorcas was an unreliable person.
While Vaay was hesitating, he heard Kal-El's voice from the Spirit Bond.
"Master said that you can make your own decision. No matter what you decide, they will support you. "
Vaay was surprised. "Master said that?"
"No. Mister Dark Earl did not say anything before he left."
Mister Super Dimensional was the one who said that. Dark Earl did not say anything in the Spirit Bond, which meant that he meant it....
In other words, it was up to him to decide how to deal with the demonic elephant.
Thinking of this, Wa Yi felt a little strange and puzzled.
Gray Merchant said that he would not complain even if the Golem's... But who knew how much of this was the truth? ...................
Although it was not a big deal to fall out with them, the Noah family was not afraid of the Traveling Merchant Organization, let alone the Bilos family behind them. However, this was the first time Wa Yi had to deal with something that involved 'external' relations, and he hoped to find a balance.
Vaay did not ponder for long. Gray Merchant had been holding out his hand for a while now, and it would be awkward in a few seconds.
Gray Merchant was an official Magus, and Vaay did not think he had the right to be arrogant in front of him.
In the end, Vaay took the space capsule from Gray Merchant.
Gray Merchant's expression relaxed a little, but it did not last long before Vaay handed the space capsule to Dorcas without even looking at it.
Dorcas, on the other hand, was playing with the space capsule.
Was he giving it to Mister Red Sword on the spot? Or was he asking Mister Red Sword to check what was in the space capsule?
If it was the former, it would be a little rude to give it to Dorcas in front of the gray merchant. If it was the latter, he could accept it.
While Gray Merchant was thinking about Vaay's idea, Vaay said, "Actually, I don't want to accept the so-called apology. It's not that I'm neglecting Mister Gray Merchant, but I don't think the Golem's way of doing things is wrong. At least, he didn't break the rules during the duel. "
"If you don't think he broke the rules, then why —" Fen Mo spoke up, but before she could finish, Gray Merchant shut her up with a cold look.
Fen Mo would not mind if it was any other occasion, but they were clearly in the wrong here. The rules of a duel were one thing, but the rules and morals of a duel were another. They were clearly in the wrong here.
The woman did not say anything, which meant she also knew she was in the wrong. Fen Mo, on the other hand, was muttering to herself, which was why Gray Merchant suddenly gave her a cold look.
"I understand your unfinished words, Miss Fen Mo," Vaay said, "I'll accept the gift and explain it to you later. Before that, I wonder if you can answer a question for me, Hui Shang? "
"Go ahead," Gray Merchant said.
Vaay's expression turned serious. "I've always been curious about one thing during the duel … Why the Eye of Antiquity?"
Angor also gave Kael a few extra tricks, but they were all defensive and controllable. This kind of method was more for the sake of winning the competition, not for the sake of killing.
The Eye of Antiquity, on the other hand, was completely different. The demon elephant could not control it at all, and it could inflict terrible damage. Was it meant to win or to kill?
When Vaay sacrificed his talent, he forced his bloodline to its limit, which allowed him to block at least one full-powered strike from a wizard. However, Wa Yi was still unable to withstand the death light of the Eyes of Ancient Profundity. He barely managed to keep his life.
Who would believe that such a terrifying attack was used by the demon elephant "for the sake of winning"?
After Wa Yi asked this question, Hui Shang and the others looked at each other, but they fell into silence.
Gray Merchant remained silent for a long time. No one gave an answer.
At this time, Wa Yi spoke once more. This time, he looked at Fen Mo: "The reason why I accepted this gift of apology is because I know that you have no way of explaining the truth of this matter. Since that's the case, there's no need to explain. Consider it a 'hush money'. "
Under Gray Merchant's complicated gaze, Vaay continued, "I accepted the hush money, which means I won't ask about it … but it doesn't mean I'll forget about it."
Vaay looked at the demon elephant again. "We'll meet again. Next time, I hope we can have a fair duel."
Vaay knew that the demon elephant had nothing to do with this, but it was still the Eye of Antiquity. Even if he wanted to get back at the demon elephant, he would have to do it first.
Next, Vaay looked at the woman.
"As for the real owner of the Eye of Antiquity, you'll have to give me an explanation. Even if you don't, I'll ask for it myself in the future. "
Vaay did not mention the woman's name, but the way he stared at her made it clear that he already knew she was the real owner of the Eye of Antiquity.
The woman wanted to say something but was stopped by Gray Merchant's glare. In the end, she only stared at Vaay with a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if she was telling Vaay, "Anytime."
Vaay sneered and did not say anything else.
The matter had come to an end for now.
In Dorcas' opinion, Vaay's way of dealing with the matter was a little "reckless".
Both Black Earl and Angor were here, and they supported all his decisions. This meant that even if he had to fight against Gray Merchant and force them to stay here forever, Black Earl and Angor would still support him.
It wasn't that Wa Yi didn't understand this, but he chose a more roundabout way.
He accepted the apology, but he did not accept the apology. He would use his own way to get "justice" from the demon elephant and the woman.
It was like a scene from the most popular play in Laksum Principality, The Princess' Revenge. To sum it up, one should not bully the young.
Young people tended to hold grudges and were impulsive. You were bullying them because you had the advantage of being an adult. But young people would always grow up, and time would make you grow old. When that time came, the seeds you sowed might become your fatal consequences.
If this scene was placed in a play, it would be a classic plot of revenge. The audience liked this type of plot the most.
However, there was a difference between reality and a play.
Especially when it came to the wizarding world. There was a huge gap between the real world and the story in a play.
In the play, the princess could seek revenge on the aging king after ten years. But in the wizarding world, ten years was just a blink of an eye. It was hard to make up for the gap.
Of course, someone like Angor, who became a wizard within a few years, was an exception.
Leaving aside the digression, Dorcas felt that Vaay's way of dealing with the matter was a little immature. However, Dorcas did not dislike it.
Because he saw the long-awaited "rising sun" in Vaay.
In the past few decades, Vaay was still young, but he acted like an old man who was about to die. He was lazy in spring, indoors in summer, tired in autumn, and cooped up in winter. Dorcas told him many times, but it all went in one ear and out the other.
Now, Dorcas finally saw the sun setting and the rising sun rising again. So what if Vaay's way was too impulsive?
Young people were always associated with impulsiveness, right?
…
After expressing his attitude, Vaay did not say anything else. He completely ignored Gray Merchant and the others. Instead, he began to talk to Dorcas about the contents of his space capsule through Mind Series.
Hui Shang, on the other hand, sighed softly. He knew that it would be difficult for him to continue negotiating. So … let's just leave it at that.
At least on the surface, Vaay did not intend to use the Noah Family's influence to oppress them.
If Vaay chose to seek justice in his own way … then he would leave the future to the future.
Gray Merchant shook his head and left.
Due to Shrew's actions during the duel, Gray Merchant was too embarrassed to ask about the mirror and his memories again. Now that Vaay also showed obvious hostility, he would only embarrass himself if he kept asking. He might as well leave.
Worst comes to worst, he would just give up on his memories.
However, just as Gray Merchant was about to follow the passage opened by the Wise Ruler and choose to leave this place, Adept Elmi's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"What? You don't want your memories anymore?"
Gray Merchant stopped. His eyes glowed, but they quickly dimmed down again. "I'm too ashamed to make a deal with you, mister."
Angor slowly approached Gray Merchant and stood in front of him.
"A deal is a deal. It has nothing to do with friendship. Even if you're my enemy, as long as we've agreed on a deal, I'll keep it. Besides, you're not really my enemy. "
Gray Merchant's gloomy expression brightened up again.
"What kind of deal do you want, Mister Elmi?" Gray Merchant paused and added, "As for the favor I owe you, it's an extra payment. Also, it's an apology for the impulsiveness of our duel. It's not part of the deal. "
"We'll talk about the details later."
"Later?" Gray Merchant was confused.
"Due to some special reasons, I can't retrieve your memories from the mirror for now. But I should be able to do it when we leave the underground sewer. So, we'll have to do it when we leave. "
Angor wasn't trying to drag things out.
To retrieve the memories from the mirror, one had to follow the principle of "receiving from the outside". Now that Angor had fulfilled the "receiving from the outside" condition, the only thing left was "receiving from the inside".
According to the Wise Sovereign, One-Eyed Dabao could help them hand over Gray Merchant's memories, but they would have to deal with Serene Slave first before he could help.
This was One-Eyed Dabao's little trick to remind Angor and the others that Phantom Slave was the key, and they shouldn't hurt him.
Therefore, he would have to wait until he defeated Serene Slave to retrieve the memories. Gray Merchant and the others had to leave the underground sewer, which meant they had to wait until Angor left the underground sewer.
Gray Merchant didn't know why, but he didn't think too much about it. He nodded without hesitation.
As soon as Angor agreed, he heard a woman's strange voice.
"You're willing to trade anything?"
Angor looked at the source of the voice. It was … the evil woman.
"What do you want?" Angor gave her a cold look.
"I just saw … the traveler gave you the clothes made of Seamus's skin. Is that yours? Can you trade with me? "
