Dream Wasteland, the new city.
Once again, he found Iron Granny in the Hanging Rose Garden on Sky Street.
Granny sat in front of a white lacquer carved table. Amidst the rose petals drifting in the air, she silently looked at the new city below, as if she wanted to take in every single blade of grass and tree of the new city.
Iron Granny finally turned around when she heard Angor's footsteps.
"You look like you're having a good time. So, your exploration of the ruin went well? "Iron Granny asked Angor to take a seat. She then poured a cup of flower tea and handed it to him.
Angor took a sip. "I'm out of the ruin. It went well. At least I didn't run into any danger."
"You're out of the ruin already? Are you here to tell me your adventure story, or do you need my help with something else? "
"Adventure stories don't make you feel like you're in a real life story. If you're willing to wait a bit longer, I can make a special DVD box to record my adventure. "
Of course, Angor could also use illusions to show his experience. However, he didn't want to reveal certain things, such as his experience in the Sun Mirror Domain. Even if he didn't need to show that part of the story, using illusions in a hurry might lead people to realize that something was wrong.
Therefore, Angor decided to make up a good story when he had the time. Of course, he didn't mean "make up". He meant "edit": edit something that could be told and make it sound more reasonable. Then, he would create a more suspenseful and story-telling video. Then, he would cut out the pointless scenes to make the DVD box more interesting.
This was basically the same as editing a movie, so it would take some time.
Iron Granny nodded with a smile. "Of course. Speaking of which, Leona mentioned that the DVD boxes you made are already hard to find in Floating Mech City. She wants you to make some DVD boxes to serve as invitations to her tea party. "
Angor was a little surprised. Really?
"I don't think Leona mentioned it to me before."
Iron Granny: "Because Rhine denied it before she went to you."
"Huh? Mister Rein rejected it for me? Why? "
Angor remembered that Leona wanted Tree Spirit to use the Pool of Life as the main venue of her tea party, which meant a lot to Tree Spirit. However, Rein didn't help Tree Spirit to reject her request.
But this time, Leona couldn't find Angor. Why did Rein reject her request?
Iron Granny took a sip of her tea with a smile. "The Dream Wasteland is more than enough for this tea party. Anything else is just icing on the cake."
Angor, there was no need to do such things.
Since Rein had spoken, Leona couldn't say anything even if she wanted to. Angor didn't know about this.
"I see." Angor nodded.
But then again, if Leona really asked, he wouldn't say no either. It was not that he was stingy. It was just that the box and the invitation were two different things. The box was a "story" that could be rewatched for a long time, while the invitation was a one-time item. There was no way the invitation from last month could be used in this month's ball, right?
They were fundamentally different. Forcefully adding them together was pointless and far-fetched.
. and it would make Angor's alchemy values look bad.
Therefore, Angor would never accept such an invitation.
"Since you're not here to tell stories, I assume you have something you need my help with?" Iron Granny looked at Angor.
Angor nodded in embarrassment. "Yes. Do you know anything about Starry Splendor, Granny?"
"Starry Splendor? You mean Didia Family's property?" Iron Granny paused for a second as if she thought of something. "You mentioned the Starry Splendor? Are you there right now? Let me think. You just left the Garden of Labyrinth, so the nearest Starry Splendor should be 'Starry Street 13' in Billon Tree Garden. So, you're here now? "
Angor widened his eyes in shock. He didn't expect Iron Granny to be able to deduce his whereabouts just by asking about Starry Splendor.
"You know a lot about Starry Splendor?" Angor stuttered.
Iron Granny chuckled. She saw Angor's expression and knew she was right. Angor was indeed in Starry Splendor. But then again, it made sense since the Observer from Didia Family was behind it.
"I think so. Do you have any questions about Starry Splendor?" Iron Granny asked.
Angor hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Yes, I do. I'm in Starry Street 13. But I think there's something strange about how I came here. "
Angor then explained how he left the Garden of Labyrinth, used the Gate of Illusion to reach Billon Tree Garden, and how Bru the Nature Elf found him and brought him to Starry Splendor.
"The Illusory Door I opened was a random landing point. But I think the Nature Elf knew I'd show up, so he waited for me and invited me to a secret place like Starry Street. This is really strange. I keep feeling that there are a lot of coincidences here. "
"I know 'Starlight Evangelist' is working for the Starliege Church. She's the Observer of Starliege Church. Maybe she found out where I'm going and asked Bru to guide me there?" "That's right," Angor said.
"But if she really did use the prophecy to plot against me … then why didn't the anti-prophecy item on me react?"
Angor furrowed his brows and voiced his own opinion.
Iron Granny didn't interrupt Angor. She just listened to him with a smile.
"So, you're worried about the Observer's prophecy?" Iron Granny finally spoke up.
"Not really. I'm just wondering if there's a conspiracy behind this."
Angor wasn't worried at all. He could always ask someone to help him. What he really cared about was "coincidences".
Since Angor already knew Feng's "Book of Kael", he was very careful about coincidences. Now that he ran into something so coincidental again, he was worried that there might be a conspiracy behind this.
Iron Granny chuckled. "There's no conspiracy, but there is an obvious one."
"An obvious one?" Angor was puzzled.
"I know you're worried about 'coincidences', but I can tell you that you don't need to worry about it. The Observer isn't targeting you. She's targeting all the supernaturals in Goman Kingdom. "
Angor sighed in relief when he heard that the Observer wasn't targeting him. However, he was shocked by Iron Granny's next words.
Targeting all the supernaturals in Goman Kingdom?!
Was "Starry Evangelist" really that bold? Wasn't she afraid of being targeted instead?
Iron Granny already knew what Angor was thinking. "As I said, it's an obvious one. Since it was an open scheme, there would naturally not be so many undercurrents and schemes. She openly used benefits to scheme against the Extraordinaires of the Goman Kingdom. Those who were willing to take the bait would naturally take the bait; those who were unwilling could withdraw at any time. That's why only a small number of people feel uncomfortable about it. "
"What kind of open one is this?"
Iron Granny: "It's going to take a long time to explain."
"I have time now. Please tell me more."
Iron Granny sipped her tea. "Then I'll start from the beginning. It all started from a family called Didya."
Once upon a time, there was a glorious hereditary family in Goman Kingdom called the Didya Family. Among the citizens of Goman Kingdom, the Didya Family was also known as the Guardian Family.
Being known as the "Defender of Dao", it was clear that the Didya family had a pivotal position in the Goman Kingdom.
Because of the Didya family's status, this glorious family was targeted by the Goman King.
Goman King needed to sacrifice such an important family to become a part of his secret ritual of lust for power.
Just like that, a family that had once been the protector of the world fell apart under the orders of the Goman King.
However, it was only the main branch of the Didya Family that had completely collapsed. Although Goman King had issued a kill order for the other branches of the Didya Family, he didn't pay much attention to them. Therefore, many of the Didya Family's members managed to escape.
Most of the surviving Didias changed their names, completely giving up on the glory of being the World Protectors, and went to live in other countries. However, a portion of the Didias did not forget the hatred of being wiped out. They were determined to restore the glory of their clan, and the first step to doing so was to overthrow the Goman King's rule.
However, to overthrow the Goman King, they had to become powerful supernaturals. Unfortunately, the Didya Family was not a supernatural family. They did not have any supernatural bloodline. When there was no hope, they had no choice but to lay low.
This period of seclusion lasted for several decades.
When everyone thought that the Didya Family was no more, a witch named "Mona Didya" showed up out of nowhere and displayed her terrifying talent for prophecy in Starliege Church.
It only took him twenty years to go from being an apprentice of prophecy to one of the eighteen Observers stationed at the Starliege Church.
Her nickname was "The Evangelist of Starlight".
She was also a descendant of the Didya Family.
After being dormant for several decades, the Didiya clansmen who were determined to restore the glory of their clan were given an unprecedented motivation due to the appearance of the Mona Observer.
With Mona's help, the Didya Family quickly found a large number of talented orphans and turned a mortal family into a wizard family.
With the help of a wizard family, the Didya Family slowly made their way back to Goman Kingdom.
"Starlight is the property of the Didya Family. Of course, you can also think of it as Witch Mona's property," Iron Granny explained.
"So the Evangelist of Starlight's real name is Mona Didya," Angor muttered to himself.
Before this, he did not know the Observer's name at all. He only knew that the Observer called himself the 'Preacher'. After all, the Observer from the Starliege Church was the center of attention in the southern region, including the major tabloid magazines. The fact that the Preacher was able to conceal his identity and identity under the scrutiny of so many people showed how capable he was.
Angor guessed that only someone like Iron Granny would know such a secret.
"Her situation is similar to White Bear's."
"White Bear? You mean Hobson Seeley, Witch Maya's student? "Iron Granny asked.
Angor nodded. "Both the Seeley Family and the Didya Family were harmed by the Goman King. And White Bear is also a Prophet."
Angor also knew that White Bear's relative, Eureka, was also plotting against the Goman King. She even instigated "Red Hair" Thewis to betray the Goman King.
Both the Seeley Family and the Didya Family were very similar.
Iron Granny shook her head. "They're different. At least the Seeley Family can't do what the Didya Family did."
"As I told you, the Goman King's Ritual of Desire involves a three-way game. The Supreme Cult is on one side, the wizard organization led by Wizard Monchi is on the other, and Goman King himself is on the other. "
"These three are the main players in the game. Anyone else who wants to get involved can only do so on a small scale.
"Even if it's you, with your current reputation, strength, and skills, you won't be able to make any waves if you join this game."
But the Didya Family is different. Their ambition has been to overthrow the Goman King for many years. After years of planning, they've created a powerful gray organization in the shadows of the Goman Kingdom.
"That organization is called Starlight Brilliance.
The Splendor of the Stars had its own properties and streets in all the major cities of the Goman Kingdom, all the major wizard markets, and all the major supernatural gathering places.
However, Starlight Brilliance's properties alone were not enough to threaten the Goman King, let alone become a chess piece of the Goman Kingdom.
The main reason why Starlight Brilliance was such a threat to Iron Granny was because of Mona.
Mona was a witch with great courage. The reason she said this was because Mona had once given up on the chance to become a truth-finder diviner of her own accord. She used the chance to take drastic measures against the Goman King, which turned Starlight Brilliance into a thorn in the Goman Kingdom's side.
It was painful, but it couldn't be pulled out.
"She used the chance to become a truth-finder wizard to … Thorn in the Goman Kingdom? How did she do that? What's a bone-piercing nail? "Angor was confused. He had no idea what it meant.
"I don't know how she did it either. But I think it has something to do with the Mystery item in Starliege Temple. "
That Mystery item was called the Temple of Time.
Iron Granny didn't know how it worked. However, it was said that Mona once entered the Temple of Time. She also had a great chance to become a truth-finder wizard in the Temple of Time.
However, Mona gave up the chance to become a truth-finder wizard in exchange for a "Thorn in the Bone" against the Goman King.
"Thorn in the Bone is for the Goman King. For other supernaturals, Thorn in the Bone is called 'Alignment Detection Field'.
"The Camp Discrimination Domain is literally a domain that can determine your camp. The 'camp' here doesn't refer to order and chaos, good and evil. It refers to whether you're on Goman King's side or not. "
"All the properties of the Splendor of the Stars have the effect of the Camp Discrimination Field. They can use it to clearly determine who can be roped in and who can't. They can even use it to find the spies planted by the Goman King."
"Anyone who isn't on the Goman King's side has a chance to join Starlight Brilliance."
Iron Granny looked at Angor and said, "Do you understand now? You didn't enter the Splendor of the Stars because you were tricked. Instead, the Splendor of the Stars' Alignment Domain determined that you weren't on Goman King's side, and that you had a chance to be pulled to Didya's side. "
