"Don't worry. Even if Laplace didn't tell you, I'm sure Rein will tell you about Elmi's condition," Count Black said in a calm tone. "Laplace didn't tell you about it, but Rein will."
"As far as I know, my old friend has already considered all possible dangers since he asked you to take care of Elmi. If you have any doubts, you can ask Rein about it when we get back. "
Black Earl sighed. "I didn't think that old bastard Rein would secretly come up with a way to control an awakened demon. If this gets out, I'm sure it'll cause a huge uproar. Looks like I'll have to pay him a visit after we leave this place."
Angor only gave a vague "hmm" to Count Dark's suggestion.
The origin of El Mi was easy to explain, but how to control El Mi was not easy to explain. This was why Angor blamed everything on Rein, which was approved by Rein himself.
From Black Earl's point of view, Rein was right. But from Angor's point of view, Rein probably couldn't solve Elmi's problem.
If Angor really wanted to solve the problem, he would have to go to Heart's Land first.
Heart's Land …
Angor's legs trembled at the thought. Last time, if Dalmatian wasn't with him, Angor wouldn't know how to deal with Nuka's pressurizing aura.
Nuka was a powerful being in Heart's Land, but as long as Angor could find a way to deal with the pressure, he was confident that he could "play" Shava for a while.
Besides, Elmi's problem had to be solved.
Sigh … I'll have to take it one step at a time. However, Angor didn't know why Elmi's second awakening happened during this time. Did the Distorted Seed have some kind of catalytic effect?
He focused his mind on Earl's shadow and made sure that Earl would be fine for the time being. Thus, he was able to relax for now.
"Let's keep going. If I'm not mistaken, the 'test' should be here soon." Angor looked up into the tunnel.
Perhaps Laplace's words were full of mysteries, and this was the first time they heard about the Mirror Domain, so they couldn't help but talk about it.
Most of them talked about Laplace, the Time Thief, and the Mirror Domain.
Angor would answer some of the questions, but most of the time, he was lost in thought.
This time it was not for Elmi's sake that he was brooding.
Instead, he was thinking about how to distribute the Shepherd God's Face.
He wanted the mask, but it was limited. If he wanted to study the Mirror Domain in the future and enter the mirror world, he would need the mask to contact Laplace.
Angor didn't know how to do that. He did not know what would happen in the future. If he didn't want to study, the mask's right, the mask would be useless.
Besides, he didn't really need the mask. He just needed to make a deal and borrow it from someone who could give him the mask, and he would accept it.
However, this was only his personal wish. As for what other people would think and who would want the mask, they would need to discuss it further.
Angor cleared his throat and interrupted the conversation. "Let's get down to business. Who wants the 'Two Faces of the Shepherd God'?"
"Do you want the Shepherd God's Face?" Angor looked at Kael.
The reason why Angor asked Kael was because the loot was divided into four groups: Dorcas and Angor on one side, Vael and Black Earl on the other, and Kael on the other.
The first three groups all had wizards, so there was no need to be modest when it came to dividing the loot. If they were interested, they would simply refuse. If they were interested, they would tell them and discuss how to distribute the loot.
Kael, on the other hand, was a lone wizard. As an apprentice, he didn't dare to fight over the loot, especially when facing several wizards.
This was why Angor decided to talk to Kael alone.
"The key is yours. You don't need to worry about getting what you want in the sewers, and I'm sure Mister Aesos won't allow his student to be bullied."
It sounded like he was implying that Aesos would support Kael, but he was actually saying that Aesos would back Kael up.
It was his promise to Kal-El, and Kal-El deserved it. Without Kael's information and blueprints, this expedition would never happen.
Kael understood Angor's meaning. He gave Angor a grateful look. "If the Shepherd God's Face really has something to do with the Shepherd God Clan, I'll be the one to take it. If I take it, I'll only be a threat. I can't always follow my teacher and let him protect me. I have my own path, and so does my teacher. I don't want it. "
Angor agreed with Kael's opinion. Treasures arouse the envy of others. Still, Angor gave Kael a chance. If Kael chose to stay with Aesos, it wouldn't matter if he kept the mask. Kael already knew his own path, while Angor was the one who had to think about it.
After Kael refused, it was the others' turn.
Dorcas was the first to express his interest, which didn't surprise Angor. He nodded and noted it down.
Next, he looked at Wai.
Wa Yi glanced at the excited Dorcas and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want one too."
Angor didn't know why Wai wanted it, but it didn't matter. Wai had the Noah Family's support anyway. If the Shepherd God's Face really did have something to do with the Shepherd God Clan, Kael would not lose anything. In fact, he might even profit from it.
After asking Wai, Angor didn't need to ask Black Earl anymore.
After all, Wai's offer was no different from Black Earl's.
However, for the sake of fairness, Angor still looked at the Dark Count.
"What do you want it for?" Black Earl scoffed.
Angor was about to ask what Black Earl meant when he noticed that Black Earl was talking to Wai. His question was also directed at Wa Yi.
Wa Yi's mouth was agape as if he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. "I think this mask should be quite useful. We can research the materials used to make it. Who knows, we might be able to exchange it with the Shepherd God family in the future …"
"Is that something you should be thinking about?" Black Earl sneered.
Wai didn't say anything. Indeed, he didn't need to think about his reasons right now. It was his master's job to think about it.
"You have two ideas. One is to compete with Dorcas, and the other is to be as excited as Dorcas."
On the side, Dorcas, who had been silently shot without a word, was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to complain in front of the Black Earl. He could only say, "Wa Yi really does care about me."
Wai rolled his eyes at Dorcas, but when he looked at Black Earl, he quickly changed his expression and stood at attention.
The Black Earl said, "You have it but it's useless, but your heart is attached to it. Do you think this is good or bad for you?"
Before Wai could answer, Black Earl turned to Angor again. "He doesn't need it, and neither do I. But if it's really a part of the Shepherd God's armor, it's best not to give it to Dorcas. He won't be able to stop those old bastards from the Shepherd God Clan. "
Dorcas felt like crying. Why me again?
Of course, he knew what Black Earl was thinking. But he didn't mind it too much. Even if he couldn't defeat the Shepherd God Clan, he could still find a way to sell it.
He had not been running the Sandworm Market for so many years for nothing. He had a lot of connections in the dark.
Black Earl seemed to have read Dorcas' mind. "If you're looking for a way to sell it, the Shepherd God Clan will find a way to find you. Next, they'll use everything they have to pry open your mouth. Truth spells won't work. They'll use brainwashing to extract memories from your mind. As for how they'll do it and what will happen to you, I don't think you want to know. "
Dorcas didn't know what to say.
Dorcas wanted to retort, but in the face of the Black Earl's' authority ', could a commoner like him really escape the Shepherd God family's pursuit through private channels?
Dorcas thought about it carefully. There really was no other way.
Should he just give up on the mask?
Angor spoke up while Dorcas was still struggling. "Actually, Mister Black, you don't need to worry about that."
Angor paused for a long time.
Black Earl snorted. "You're right. If he goes to Phantom Island, we won't have to worry about that."
"So be it. Both Wai and I will give up on the mask. You and Dorcas will share the mask. "
Black Earl made the final decision and helped Wai make the necessary arrangements.
It wasn't that Black Earl wasn't interested in the Shepherd God's "double face". He already felt that he was taking advantage of the situation by accompanying Sunders to the abandoned site. If he had to share the other loot with Sunders, he wouldn't be able to keep his dignity.
If there were no outsiders, he wouldn't mind taking advantage of Sunders. But Angor was here with Rein and Sunders behind him. If Rein and Sunders knew what happened today, Rein would definitely keep a smile on his face. Sunders, on the other hand, wouldn't hesitate to use his Nightmare Avatar to attack Angor without hesitation.
Therefore, even if it was for the sake of his reputation, the Dark Earl would not accept it, and would not let Wa Yi take it.
Since everyone else refused, it was up to Angor and Dorcas to decide who would get the mask.
Dorcas also heard Black Earl's words. If he had Phantom Island as his backer, he wouldn't have to worry. However, even if he had to follow Angor for a while, he didn't want to stay in Brute Cavern for too long. After all, he still had Cross Tavern.
While Dorcas was still hesitating, Angor tossed the mask to him.
Dorcas stared blankly for a moment as he looked at the two different boxes in his left and right hands. The thoughts that had been running through his mind suddenly disappeared.
"You … You don't want it?"
"I didn't say I don't want it. I'm just leaving my share with you. You heard what I said. If I suddenly want to study Mirror Domain again, I'll have to take it back from you. "
"Then why don't you take one of them now?"
Angor crossed his arms and smiled. "It's a hot potato. Of course it's better for me to keep it to myself."
Dorcas didn't know what to say.
Wai looked at Dorcas' dumbfounded expression and humphed. "You're still as dumb as a blind snake."
Dorcas seemed to have "muscle memory" of Wai's mockery. "Blind snakes aren't dumb."
Wai snorted. "They aren't dumb. But they don't have eyes. They can't see the world clearly, so they'll do something stupid. For example, they'll treat their own tail as an enemy and bite it. "
"You're saying I'm reaping what I sowed?"
"I didn't say that. You said it yourself. Let's see if you have the guts to sell the mask to the market. I'll keep an eye on it! "
Dorcas didn't know what to say. He really didn't dare to sell the mask to the public. He didn't even dare to show it off to outsiders.
He began to understand what Angor meant by "hot potato", and what Count Dark meant when he said "can't let go of something that you can't get out of your mind, but you can't get it out of your mind".
Did he make a profit or a loss?
Regardless of whether it was a profit or a loss, Dorcas had a feeling that Angor had tricked him again.
But his spirit didn't tell him anything.
Was it because it was on Angor's side since the beginning?
Dorcas sighed in his mind but didn't say anything in the end. He put the two boxes into his space storage.
Even after the Shepherd God's two faces were distributed, everyone was still in high spirits. They continued to chat through the Spirit Bond.
However, Dorcas, who was known for being talkative, didn't say anything at all. Perhaps he was still lost in his own thoughts.
"Actually, I'm quite interested in Laplace's words to Kael." Wai looked at Kael. "What are you thinking? Are you still going to help that remnant soul fulfill its wish after knowing the truth? "
Kael remained silent for a moment. "I don't know. I'm more interested in the 'bond' she mentioned."
Khael stared blankly into the endless distance and muttered softly, "He, that remnant soul attached to my body, is he really the one who helped me become an Extraordinary? The bond she spoke of, is it true? "
Wai didn't know how to answer this question. "As long as you have a clear conscience, don't worry about the bond."
Khael hesitated. "But if the reason I became a talent is because of him … I will still choose to fulfill his wish."
Kael muttered to himself, "To be honest, I still don't know if exploring the ruins is his obsession or mine. Did he choose me because he saw my curiosity and longed for the unknown, or did he affect my exploration of the unknown after he chose me? "
"It's a question of which comes first. You don't have to worry about it."
After Wa Yi finished speaking, he did not receive a reply from Kael for a long time.
Dorcas looked back in confusion.
He realized that Kael was no longer behind him. It was as if he evaporated into thin air.
