Dorcas didn't stop nagging Angor while waiting for the Count's return. He was still trying to convince Angor to let him take a look at the Mirror of Mystery.
Angor still didn't agree.
It wasn't that Angor didn't want to show it to Dorcas. It was just that Laplace was still in the dream wasteland.
Laplace seemed to be addicted to fishing. She had been doing it for almost an entire day.
She didn't seem to want to go offline yet. And the location where she came online was the Unbreakable Heart Mirror's mirror space.
Dorcas might not be able to find Laplace, but what if?
Moreover, if Dorcas really did discover the space within the mirror and saw the sleeping Laplace … in terms of etiquette, this would be an extremely rude action.
So no matter what,
Angor couldn't take out the Unbreakable Mirror right now.
But he couldn't show it to Dorcas.
Still, he could talk to Dorcas about the mirror's effect.
It wasn't a problem.
Of course, the mirror's effect was limited to the material world.
In other words, it was sturdy.
Unfortunately, Dorcas didn't believe Angor's words. Dorcas didn't believe that an alchemy item with Mystery energy could only be sturdy.
Dorcas believed that Angor was lying to him.
Angor didn't bother to explain. He already told Dorcas about the mirror's effect in the material world. As for the mirror's effect in the mirror domain … well, it wasn't something he could talk about.
Time slowly passed as they chatted.
During this process, they also talked about Aixen and the others, but there was not much progress. Both of them had their own guesses, but they couldn't prove anything. They had to wait for the "authority" to come and confirm it.
When dawn was about to break, the Black Earl, who represented "authority", finally arrived at the inn.
There was another person who came with the Black Count.
Apart from Wai, there was another young man with white hair and green eyes. He was the person in charge of Starry Street 13, as well as the owner of Lucia's workshop, Lucia.
Angor was also surprised to see Lucia.
He originally thought that with such a big thing happening in the Bilun Tree Courtyard and the group of attackers coming out of the Starry Street, with the Bilus Family's expectations, Lucia might not be able to return in a short time.
He didn't expect Lucia to be released in less than half a day.
Could it be that the Biluos Clan had suddenly become magnanimous and decided to give him a way out? Or could it be that the big boss behind the scenes of the Splendor of the Stars predicted the situation here and launched an attack on the Bilos family in advance?
Lucia noticed his curiosity and scratched his head. "It was Count Dark who helped me. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be in the Bilos Family's interrogation room."
Angor looked at Count Dark in disbelief. Why would Count Dark be so kind?
The Dark Earl didn't speak. Instead, he was in the Spirit Bond.
"Elder Tree and the others know that Luciya has nothing to do with this. After finding out the reason, we should have let him go. "
The reason why they didn't release it was purely because they wanted to find an external outlet for their own internal mistakes. Luciya, on the other hand, became a publicly recognized criminal within the Bilos Family.
"So the Dark Earl helped him?"
The Black Earl said, "It's not really helping him. It's just exposing the Bilos family's conceit. Furthermore, I also have some matters that I would like to discuss with that preacher. "
Now he knew what was going on.
The main point was not to help Lucia, but to have a chat with the backer of the Didias family, the boss behind the Splendor of Stars, "Starlight Evangelist".
As for helping Lucia, it was just the beginning.
It sounded like someone who would do anything for no good. But Angor had to admit that if Count Black didn't expose the Bilos Family's conceit, Lucia wouldn't end up well. She wouldn't die, but she would definitely be used as a scapegoat.
All in all, this was a good thing for Lucia. And it might not be a bad thing for the Preacher either.
At least the Preacher could use this opportunity to get closer to the Dark Earl.
The Dark Earl wanted to see her for nothing more than a prophecy. As long as the prophecy wasn't too outrageous, the Preacher would agree.
Angor no longer hesitated. He looked at Lucia and said, "Since you're back, let's talk about alchemy when we have time."
It wasn't Angor who suggested this at first. It was Lucia — no, Lucia who suggested it.
Angor agreed at that time.
He didn't mention it again because he really wanted to talk about alchemy. Instead, he wanted to tell Lucia in a subtle way that they could talk later. You should leave now.
Angor believed that Lucia only came to his soundproof room to show the Dark Earl the way. Now that the Dark Earl is here, you should leave.
Lucia understood what Angor meant. But she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she looked at the Dark Earl.
The Black Earl also explained in a timely manner, "I brought him here to make a final confirmation."
"A final decision?" Angor glanced at the Dark Earl, then at Lucia who was nodding repeatedly.
Angor didn't know what the Dark Earl meant, but since the Dark Earl said so, Angor didn't insist. He asked Lucia to take a seat.
When Lucia sat down on a sofa, the Dark Earl turned to Angor. "Now, can you give it to me?"
Give what? Both Angor and Dorcas were puzzled. Wail seemed to know something, but as an apprentice, he didn't know what to say.
Lucia considered for a moment and said, "I can give it to you. But as I mentioned to you before, sir, I'm already disrespecting the privacy of my guests. To make up for it, I need to make sure that you won't do anything to harm my guests."
The Black Earl said indifferently, "You still consider them as your guests? Even though they almost made you a scapegoat. "
"Since they have the membership cards of Starry Street, they're my guests," Lucia said. "The rule of Starry Street is that we don't care who our guests are. No matter who they are, even if they're public enemies or otherworldly spies, as long as they don't violate the rules, they're my guests.
As for the scapegoat … well, it wasn't them who made me a scapegoat. It was the Bilos Family. I know that. "
Based on the conversation between Lucia and Black Earl, Angor knew that the "guests" Lucia was referring to were Stop, Aixen, and Witch Sharon.
From the actions of Stop and the others, although they had caused great losses to Lun Shuting and humiliated the Biros Family, they did not break the rules of the Starry Sky Street.
Therefore, from Lucia's point of view, they should be considered "guests".
Still, Angor wasn't sure if Lucia really didn't blame them.
Moreover, from the conversation between Lucia and the Black Earl, it seemed that Lucia wanted to give something to the Black Earl. It was probably something related to Stop and the others.
Even though Lucia might have been intimidated by the Dark Earl to take out the item, since he was willing to take it out, it meant that he still had some resentment in his heart. He wasn't as stubborn as he claimed to be.
"I don't want to listen to your pompous words. Just give it to me. I won't do anything to harm them. You can watch from the side."
Lucia remained silent for a moment and opened her own exile space. She released a Hand of Spell and went inside.
Although Lucia's space of exile only revealed a little bit of light when it was opened, everyone could still see a little bit of the interior … It was filled with all kinds of shelves, and the shelves were neatly arranged with different items. There was a lot of variety, but it didn't look messy at all.
It seemed that Lucia was using her exile space as a storage space.
Everyone was a little surprised by this.
Although every wizard had their own space of exile, the existence of the space of exile was not eternal. Opening the space of exile required the "Exile Spell". To maintain the space, one had to keep the exile spell from collapsing.
It was possible to maintain the space for a short period of time, but it would take a lot of effort to do so.
Therefore, most sorcerers would treat the space of exile as a garbage disposal. Only in rare cases would they treat it as a storage space.
Lucia seemed to be one of those people.
No one asked Lucia for the reason. It was her privacy, after all. Besides, Lucia might have a special way to maintain her exile space.
Lucia's Hand of Spell searched around the space for a while before coming back.
The Hand of Magic brought back two items, a new piece of parchment and a slender knight's sword.
"That's it." Lucia placed the items on the table and gestured to the Black Earl.
Since the items were on the table, everyone could see them clearly. However, based on the naked eye, there was nothing wrong with these two items.
"Can I check them?" Dorcas asked.
Lucia nodded. "Sure."
After receiving a confirmation, Dorcas immediately extended his spiritual tentacles and used the energy perspective to observe the two items.
A moment later, Dorcas spoke in a small voice, "This parchment seems to have a faint contract power. But it's very weak. I can't even sense it if I don't pay attention."
"The knight's sword is normal. I don't sense any supernatural energy. The material is fine though," Angor added.
Angor quickly added, "The sword's main material is Blood Steel, mixed with a small amount of Star Iron."
Blood Steel was one of the best materials in the mortal world. But in the supernatural world, it was only used by apprentices to practice their skills. Star Iron, on the other hand, was considered a supernatural material. However, it wasn't worth much, and the knight's sword only contained a small amount of it.
But in the mortal world, this sword was definitely a powerful weapon that could cut through iron like mud.
"Wizard Jon is right. This is a sword made of Blood Steel and Star Iron." Lucia nodded and gave Angor a friendly smile.
Wizard Jon? The Black Earl glanced at Angor but didn't say anything. Dorcas also looked calm. He already knew that Angor named him Jon because of this.
The Black Earl looked at Lucia and said, "These two items … … why don't you give us a brief introduction first?"
Lucia nodded. "The parchment … Red Sword sensed it correctly. There is a contract power on it."
"But it's not very effective."
Lucia nodded. "Yes, it is. It's because I'm the one who made the contract. I didn't expect it to be so binding. It's just an order, after all. "
"Order?" Everyone looked at Lucia in confusion.
Lucia nodded. "Yes, an order. This is an advance order that Witch Sharon signed when she ordered a batch of fragrances from my Lucia Workshop. "
It's just an ordinary business contract, so there's no need to sign something too important. "
With that, Lucia turned to look at the Dark Earl. "This order is for something related to Witch Sharon. This is the only thing I have here."
Black Earl nodded. "Very well."
After finishing the parchment, Lucia looked at the knight sword on the table. "This sword is actually a teaching sword. It's a teaching sword used when teaching fighting skills related to the sword. "
This sword was originally stored in the warehouse. But Mister Aixen accepted a lot of teaching tasks recently, and he used this sword for one of them. "
At this point, Lucia paused and looked at the Dark Earl.
Lucia didn't say anything this time, but everyone knew what she meant.
The Black Earl should have asked Lucia to take out something related to the attacker … Perhaps, the Black Earl had a way to find some information from it.
The order was related to Witch Sharon, and the teaching sword was related to Aixen.
Now, they were only missing an item related to Stopp.
"I only have these two items, Stopp. He's very cautious. Very few things come out of his hands. I don't have any here." Lucia spread her hands and shrugged. She looked helpless.
Black Earl nodded and didn't insist.
His main target this time was still Aixen. It was enough to have Aixen's items here.
As for Witch Sharon's order, it was just a bonus at most.
Moreover, the reason why Black Earl wanted these items was that he was prepared to sniff out some key clues from the "related items."
The order signed by Witch Sharon would at most have some remaining pheromones. It might be useful if it was given to a Prophet Wizard. He might not be able to find any useful information if he sniffed it.
However, this teaching sword was very useful. Aixen had used it to teach apprentices. In other words, he had held this sword for a combat demonstration.
He might be able to sniff out the source of Aixen's ability from it.
Although the Dark Earl had already roughly guessed Aixen's department, he still needed a strong proof, and this teaching sword might be the key clue he was looking for!
