The Exorbitant Compensation
"Where did those monsters come from? You dare say you didn't summon them?" Twilight questioned him in a serious tone.
Angor hesitated. He didn't know where to begin, especially when it came to the Nightmare Realm. He didn't know what to say.
"Like I said, don't ask about things you shouldn't know," Sunders spoke up again.
Twilight had no choice but to suppress her anger. "Then who's going to give Twilight an explanation for their deaths?"
"I didn't kill them. You can go find whoever did it." Angor hid behind Sunders' back and looked around to see where Toby was.
"It's true that you didn't personally kill these people. But you were the cause, and they died because of you. You have to give us an explanation. " Twilight's words were much softer than before. Sunders didn't say anything else. Angor was indeed at fault here. He was too impulsive and broke the order of Twilight Auction Hall.
Destroying order was destroying a way of following rules that had been tacitly approved by history. Every wizard valued order and rules, which was why Sunders didn't say anything.
The Phantom Island had its own rules, and so did the Auction House. Anyone who disrupted the order should be punished. This was an unshakable rule in every auction hall.
"I don't even know how they died. How am I supposed to answer to you?" Angor felt wronged. He saved everyone, but he had to become a nameless hero.
"Angor, right? I'll answer for her. Twilight is too embarrassed to do so." Lydia, who was wearing a fiery red robe, approached them and stopped in front of Angor.
"Thank you, Lady Lotus." It was Angor's first time seeing Lydia's face, but he was familiar with her voice because he saw Lydia arguing with Flora many times during the auction.
"The way I see it, they deserved it." Lydia's words infuriated Twilight and the rest of the Twilight Guards.
"What? Do you think the three of them died for no reason? Hmph. We didn't join the battle, but we're not blind. We can tell right from wrong. "Lydia winked at Sunders. However, all her efforts were in vain. Sunders didn't even look at her.
"Bastard!" Lydia cursed in her mind. "How did they die? They were killed by the clown's guns. But if you don't attack them, do you think they will? Think about it. "
"Again, how did these two people die? Their cause of death is even more ridiculous! They attacked the teacup band and got hit by their own attack. But the teacup band didn't do anything. "
Lydia pointed at the teacup band not far away.
Perhaps because the tunnel connecting the two worlds was closed, the teacup band and toy soldiers were especially listless. The teacups were no longer playing the piano, and the toy soldiers were sitting on the ground dejectedly, looking sad and pitiful.
"So you think it has something to do with our's death? I don't think so. He might be the cause of their deaths, but they deserved it! "
The wizards nodded in agreement with Lydia's words. They had also suffered some minor injuries when they helped to fight the dragonflies and cards. But when they thought about it carefully, they realized that the monsters didn't want to fight them at all. Twilight was the one who started the fight.
Therefore, their deaths were truly self-inflicted.
Sunders also realized that he didn't know how they died in the mist. He thought they were killed in a fight, but it turned out they deserved it.
"If that's the case, it has nothing to do with my student," Sunders concluded without giving Twilight a chance to refute.
Twilight took a deep breath, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes. "Okay, okay!
"Let's say he had nothing to do with their deaths. But how should we deal with him for destroying the order of the auction? And how should we deal with him for wasting the time of all the wizards here? "
Twilight decided to stop the wizards, but Lydia was the first one to step forward. "You said he broke the rules of the auction? We have nothing to say about that. But I don't think it's a waste of my time. I'm happy to watch the show. Those two handsome boys are so nice to watch. "
Lydia had completely forgotten how she supported Twilight's decision to kill Angor. Women could change their minds very quickly.
The other wizards quickly followed Lydia's advice.
"We're not hurt anyway. It's a fun show. I won't mind wasting a few minutes. "The old wizard, Kooper, nodded at Angor with a smile.
The other wizards also agreed to let it go for Sunders' sake.
Twilight clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't dare to show any signs of anger. These wizards were no weaker than her, and they were long-term customers of Twilight Well. She didn't want to offend them. Besides, Sunders was standing in front of that bastard, like a wall blocking all the wind and rain.
"I'll make him pay for what he did," Sunders spoke in a plain tone.
"What do you mean?!"
"According to the rules of your auction, he'll compensate you for your loss."
"A hundred thousand magic crystals, and I'll let it go," Twilight said after a moment of silence.
"A hundred thousand?! Why don't you go rob a bank?! "Angor poked his head out from behind Sunders' back.
Sunders pushed Angor's head back. "Fine. I'll have him send the crystals to you in half a month. That's all for now. Don't mention anything else. "
Angor's eyes were filled with tears. Where am I supposed to find a hundred thousand?!
"But … didn't I save …" Angor mumbled in a small voice.
Sunders gave Angor a cold glance. "I'll talk to you later."
With that settled, Lydia walked to Flora and teased her. "See? The difference in treatment is obvious."
Flora rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Hey, the skeleton behind you looks a lot more energetic now," Lydia suddenly said.
Flora turned around and saw Little Red looking much better than before. The flames in her eye sockets were squinted into the shape of crescent moons as she looked at Angor with a big smile. When Angor looked at it, Little Red took out a rose from somewhere and handed it to Angor with its trembling skeletal hand.
"Hey, Little Red!" Angor greeted the creature happily. He ran to Flora and took the blood-red rose.
Angor casually put the rose in his chest pocket and quickly ran to the side. He already saw Dave and Prome lying unconscious in a corner.
Angor quickly found Toby, who was carefully held in Dave's hand.
Angor checked Toby's body and saw that the bird's body was still warm, and the wound was already healing. Prome had already performed the initial treatment on Toby.
However, Toby's injury was too serious. Angor was worried that something bad might happen, so he quickly ran to Sunders and asked for help.
Sunders sighed. "I wasn't going to save you, but you did something so reckless. Fine, I'll take the risk for you this time. But there won't be a next time. From now on, think about the consequences before you do anything! "
Sunders did not say anything else. He took Toby's body and cast a wizard-level healing spell on Toby.
Under Sunders' treatment, Toby's wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Toby's heartbeat stabilized, Sunders handed it back to Angor.
Toby's life was no longer in danger, but he was still unconscious.
Angor sighed in relief. It was good that Toby was unconscious. He was worried that Toby would act recklessly again. Well, that was easy.
"The passage is closed?" Sunders glanced at Angor's bleeding shoulder.
"Mission accomplished." Angor chuckled. "Not only that, but I also lured the wizard-level toy owl back."
"By the way, where's Fox and Froggy?"
Angor explained to Sunders, "The red fox who played the harp. Her name is Fox. And the green frog is Froggy. "
"You know a lot about them, don't you?" Sunders mocked.
"Of course I need to know their internal structure in order to sneak into them and find out how to close the passage." Angor recalled how everyone saw his act and felt terrible.
"They're gone." Sunders paused. "I'm afraid they left the Nightmare Domain. I wonder if there will be any side effects."
"Left the Nightmare Domain? What about these? "Angor pointed at the teacup band and toy soldiers.
The teacup band began to wail in a timely manner.
"Queen, where are you —" A child-like voice came from the teacup band.
…
In the end, the teacup band was completely destroyed by Twilight and the other wizards. All power was useless against them, and they would even rebound. As for the toy soldiers, they were also immune to all energy attacks. They could also gather the energy from the attacks on their weapons and release it at anyone who tried to attack them.
When no one had any ideas, Sunders made his final decision. "Don't worry about them. I'll take care of them."
The wizards were quite interested in the teacup band and toy soldiers. They all wanted to take one back for research. But since Sunders said he would take care of them, they had no choice but to give up.
"Mister Sunders, how should we leave this place? Is there any danger? "The white-haired wizard, Kooper, asked politely.
"No. We'll leave soon," Sunders said to Angor.
"You created the Nightmare Domain, so you have to bear it. Or we can't leave."
"Bear it? What do you mean?"
