Angor thanked Count Black in a small voice.
Even if he didn't need to use Thunder, he still needed to thank the count for his kindness.
"What are you going to do next? Fight? Or … something else? "
If it was a fight, Black Count would help Angor and lead it together. As for "something else", Angor would lead it. Black Count would not interfere unless it was absolutely necessary.
"… I'm going to negotiate with the Infant Spirit." Angor considered for a moment and decided to tell the count about his plan.
Without a doubt, Angor's idea was classified as "something else" by Black Count.
"Sure." Black Count didn't ask how Angor was going to negotiate. He only reminded Angor, "Most Infant Spirits have the instinct to disguise themselves. Don't be fooled by their appearance."
Angor nodded. "I understand."
Infant Spirits were a type of undead. They didn't have intelligence, but they were born with the instinct to disguise themselves. In the wild, they would pretend to be abandoned babies to lure humans closer so that they could kill them. This "bait" behavior was an instinct, but it could also be considered as compensation. After all, Infant Spirits were much weaker than most undead creatures.
However, Angor wasn't worried about being tricked by the Infant Spirit. He knew that it was likely not the Infant Spirit who would "negotiate" with him this time, but the Glutton Flower.
After agreeing to Angor's plan, Black Count didn't do anything else. He didn't even say a word.
Angor moved forward another three meters.
The reason why he only moved forward three meters had nothing to do with caution. It was because he needed to consider the range of his gravitational field. If he went any further, Black Count would no longer be within the range of his gravitational field, and he would definitely be affected by the red wax.
However, even if it was only three meters, it was enough. Angor was already very close to the Infant Spirit, so close that he could see all the details of the Glutton Flower.
…
He didn't see anything wrong with Angor's approach.
However, the "onlookers" who didn't know what was going on felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths. They were afraid that Angor would be in danger in the next second.
Dorcas and the others were worried about Angor's safety.
But at this moment, there was another person who was looking at everything in front of him with a shocked expression.
This person was Adanis.
Adanis was very confident that this group of people would never be able to break through the Flower-Holding Baby Spirit's defensive line. This was because she knew how terrifying this otherworldly Infant Spirit was!
Back then, when the otherworldly Infant Spirits suddenly descended, if not for Adanis luring them into the Mirror Domain, the Clear Sky Poetry Room would probably have ceased to exist.
In the Mirror Domain, Adanis had also tested the strength of the Infant Spirits.
Without exception, Adanis ended up dead every time. Even though Adanis was only using a mirror image in the Mirror Domain, through the projection of a physical mirror, her strength was almost the same as Adanis'. But even so, facing an Infant Spirit from another world was still a dead end.
However, many of them died. Adanis also gradually learned some of the Baby Spirits' secrets.
This was an intelligent and cunning Infant Spirit. It had a natural premonition of danger, so after coming to the Mirror Domain, it didn't break out of the mirror space it was imprisoned in, even though it could do so.
This was because it knew that once it broke out of the mirror space, it would only fall into the deepest part of the Mirror Domain, which was the Empty Mirror Sea.
The Empty Mirror Sea was also an extremely dangerous place for a powerful Infant Spirit.
Therefore, Adanis mastered the first method to deal with Infant Spirits: Banishing the Empty Mirror Sea.
In addition, Adanis had met the Infant Spirit hundreds of times before. In addition to the corresponding hundreds of deaths, she had also obtained another piece of information through indirect means.
The otherworldly Infant Spirit did not descend to the real world for the underground maze. It seemed to have another purpose, and this purpose made it eager to leave and regain its freedom.
After confirming the otherworldly Infant Spirit's purpose and grasping its weakness, Adanis began to persuade the Infant Spirit to surrender. She was very eager to gain the loyalty of the otherworldly Infant Spirit so that she could use it for her own purposes.
As long as she could control the otherworldly Infant Spirit, Adanis would even have a way to break through the shackles of the Clear Sky Poetry Room and completely break the contract Augustine had made.
However, after dying 993 times, Adanis realized something.
She could not gain the loyalty of the otherworldly Infant Spirit. Even when she threatened it with the Empty Mirror Sea, it did not yield at all.
From the spirit ripples she occasionally sensed, Adanis learned that the otherworldly Infant Spirit had another master, who it called "Queen".
After knowing that she could not use the otherworldly Infant Spirit, Adanis set a number for herself. Once she died 1,000 times, she would banish the Infant Spirit to the Empty Mirror Sea.
Since she could not use it, it would not be useful no matter how strong it was.
However, before Adanis could die for the thousandth time, Angor's group had already arrived.
Therefore, after meeting the Infant Spirit for the 994th time, Adanis made a deal with it.
She would stop all living beings who came to the Strolling Corridor, kill them, and turn them into ashes. Then, she would set it free.
It was not a verbal agreement. After all, no one could guarantee that the Infant Spirit would not attack her after releasing it from the mirror domain. Adanis also had to consider the safety of herself and Olao.
Therefore, there was a contract between them. With the Mirror Domain as a witness, if the Baby Spirit did not fulfill its promise, or if it attacked Adanis and Oleo, then the Mirror Domain would pull it back into the Mirror Domain from the real world, and it would fall into the Empty Mirror Sea.
Because of this, Adanis was confident that Angor's group would not be able to break through the Infant Spirit's defense line.
In Adanis' mind, Angor's group could not even break through the red wax and the weave.
Adanis had personally experienced the power of the red wax and the weave, and she died hundreds of times in each of them. So far, she still could not find a way to break through the red wax and the weave.
Fire? The weave was not afraid of fire. The red wax could be burned into oil, but wherever the oil flowed, it would become a place of madness.
When the red wax solidified, it would only affect the area where the red wax was. However, when it was turned into oil, it would expand the area without any blind spots.
So for now, there was no effective way to break through the red wax and the weave.
Adanis was confident that Angor's group would die without a doubt. She even prepared to have a "talk" with Olao. However, what happened next was beyond her imagination.
The red wax and the weave she thought were unbreakable were all broken.
How could an illusion tear through the weave? Adanis did not believe it. Through the magic array, she saw that apart from the first layer of the weave that was affected by the illusion, the rest of the weave broke on their own. It was as if the weave was a welcoming ceremony.
The red wax did not affect Angor's group at all. Their eyes were clear, and they did not look like they had lost their minds.
This was also beyond Adanis' expectation.
Why?
The only thing Adanis could think of was that the Infant Spirit went easy on them.
However, she had signed a contract with the Infant Spirit. If the Infant Spirit did not kill the intruders and turn them into ashes, it would be dragged into the Empty Mirror Sea and die for good.
What was the Infant Spirit thinking? Did it have another plan? Or did it just not want to kill Angor?!
Adanis clenched her fists and took a deep breath. She kept telling herself that it was not over yet. The Infant Spirit was only trying to lure them in. If she kept watching, the Infant Spirit would never let Angor go because it feared the Empty Mirror Sea. Absolutely not.
…
Adanis and the others all looked at Angor.
Angor did not feel like he was the center of attention. He simply watched the Infant Spirit quietly.
The Infant Spirit was also looking at Angor. There was no anger in its dark eye sockets, but there was no malice either.
Everyone was waiting for Angor and the Infant Spirit's next move. They did not know what was going to happen, so they could only hold their breaths and watch. Black Earl knew that Angor was going to "communicate" with the Infant Spirit. However, he did not know how to do so or how to establish a communication channel. He needed to keep watching.
To everyone's disappointment, Angor and the Infant Spirit just looked at each other without saying anything.
It seemed they were in a stalemate.
And the stalemate was still going on. Several minutes had passed, and there was still no sign of it stopping.
While everyone was worrying about Angor's condition, Angor had successfully established a connection with the Infant Spirit.
This connection could not be sensed by outsiders. Even the Dark Earl and Adanis could not sense it.
Because it did not exist in the real world at all.
When he approached the Infant Spirit, he immediately sensed a familiar and joyful emotion coming from it.
This sense of familiarity was exactly the same as when he was in the Red Wax Region.
However, the emotion did not reach Angor's mind. It was blocked by his forcefield.
Angor considered for a moment and opened up a small gap in the forcefield. As soon as the gap was opened, Angor sensed the familiar emotion.
At the same time, an image appeared in Angor's mind.
It was still the same sea of red flowers, where the Glutton Flowers were still expressing their respect and praise to Angor. However, they did not express their joy directly. Instead, they restrained themselves a lot.
As for why the Glutton Flowers suddenly became so quiet … it was because there was now a flower in the image that did not exist before.
As for the Glutton Flower, it was floating in the air.
This was a completely different Gluttonous Flower. Its color wasn't as red as fire, but instead, it was pitch-black.
Its petals were dark and gloomy, but they were shining brightly like stars, which made the flower look like a starry sky in midsummer.
Even the big mouth in the stamen, which was the most unsightly part of a Glutton Flower, did not look strange at all. Instead, it highlighted the flower's mysteriousness.
He looked at the floating Glutton Flower and tried to express his thoughts through his emotions.
"It's you?"
When Angor first came to Nether City, he was frightened by the Flying Skull Demon and fainted. Later, a black Glutton Flower woke him up with its "saliva".
This black Glutton Flower was called the "Glutton Flower King" by Sunders.
The floating Glutton Flower looked exactly the same as the one he saw in Nether City.
Even the "starry sky" hidden in its petals was the same.
Angor did not know if this black Glutton Flower belonged to someone he met in Nether City. No, it was an old flower.
Therefore, he decided to use a very tricky way to ask the question.
As he asked, the black flower slowly floated to him.
As the bird moved closer, Angor could clearly sense its excitement and joy.
"Wonderful! You remember me, Your Majesty! You remember me! Praise Moonlight! Praise Shava! "
The Glutton Flower circled around Angor as if it was dancing. The familiar scent brought Angor back to the time when he first came to the wizarding world.
Angor already had a general idea when he sensed the flower's joyful mood.
It should be the Glutton Flower that he had encountered in Nether City.
However, judging from the current situation, it was slightly different from the other Glutton Flower.
"Heh." Angor chuckled and lowered his voice. "You're much smarter than before."
By "different", he meant that Angor was much smarter than before.
Back then, the Glutton Flower could communicate with Angor, but it only used simple words. Apart from "like" and "respect", Angor could not get anything else from it.
In fact, the Glutton Flower did not even know Angor back then. It only tried to get close to Angor because Angor had the aura of a "queen".
But now, at least the Glutton Flower knew how to express itself fully. Angor could even tell the difference between "Shava" and "Queen".
"Yes, Shaye is smarter than before!"
"Shaye even got a name."
"My name is Shaye, Your Majesty!"
"Got it." Angor nodded. Of course, Angor remembered the name after repeating it so many times.
Speaking of which, Angor was wondering who the Glutton Flowers in the sea of flowers were praising "Shaye" and why he did not find anyone in Grue Town.
Shaye was the Glutton Flower he once met.
"A name? Didn't you name it yourself? " Angor wanted to ask if Shaye was given the name by "Queen". But when he thought of "Queen", he felt an itch on his back. Back at Twilight Auction, he kept trying to find the queen's face and name, which caused a huge mess in the auction house. The queen almost came to the wizarding world from her interplanar world.
If "Queen of Stitches" came to the wizarding world, she would definitely bring about an apocalyptic disaster.
Angor was about to say something, but he quickly swallowed the word back.
As Sunders once said, it was best to avoid mentioning such unfathomable powerful beings by their names as much as possible.
"No, Light gave it to me."
"Light?"
