"Is Dongli in Floating Mech City?"
Portia nodded. "She hasn't left since the Rising Star Competition ended."
Many apprentices didn't want to leave the Endless Corridor because of it. Not to mention Dongli, even the contestants from the Rising Star Competition didn't want to leave.
Even his brother, Leon, was still in Floating Mech City. He couldn't enter the Endless Corridor, but he could still use the Sky Tower to gain experience.
Since Donglis was still in Floating Mech City, he nodded and decided to talk to her.
Portia smiled and said, "Then I'll inform her now."
Angor hadn't agreed yet, but his willingness to meet with Winterize was enough to tell her what he was thinking.
As long as Dongli's "sister" didn't ask for too much, Angor would probably agree.
Portia knew that Angor would owe her a favor if he chose the first option. But right now, she was more interested in getting the material from Summer Dew.
As long as she could get the material, she would be able to make great progress in her research. Even if Angor couldn't find the rune, her research would continue.
Yes, Portia still remembered asking Angor to help her find the rune.
However, she didn't ask Angor about it today.
The reason was simple. She had been looking for the rune herself, and she knew how difficult it was to do so. She didn't think Angor could find it in such a short time.
Also, according to Master Theran of Breezy Valley, the rune never appeared in the southern wizardry region for nearly a thousand years. To find it, one had to go to the origin of the runes — the Abyss Plane.
Portia already learned from Regina that Angor never left the southern wizardry region recently. If he stayed here for such a short time, he probably couldn't find the rune yet.
Therefore, Portia didn't plan to ask Angor about the rune this time.
Angor was worried that Portia would use his "favor" against him, but it was pointless.
About half a minute later, Portia looked up and said, "I couldn't reach Dong Liz. But I heard from Antonio that she went to the Endless Corridor for half an hour. According to the time she usually takes to clear the level, she should be out in about five to ten minutes … Should we wait for her? "
Angor nodded.
Five to ten minutes wasn't too long. Moreover, the Endless Corridor was close to the Sky Tower, and the signal tower wasn't far from the Sky Tower. It wouldn't take long for Dongli to arrive.
While waiting for Duniz's arrival, Angor and Portia chatted casually.
He was worried that Portia would mention runes, and he even thought about what he should say if Portia mentioned runes. However, Portia seemed to have forgotten about the mageweath and did not mention it at all.
They mostly talked about the recent gossip of the research department, as well as how Floating Mech City's popular poker games, movie boxes, etc. She also joked about how Angor caused a small cultural revolution.
However, Portia's mind was always jumping around. Even when she was talking with Angor, she always ended up with completely different sentences.
For example, she just said, "There's a new poker game that allows 22 people to play at the same time. But if you want to get so many players, you'll have to go to Elysium. "
A 22-person poker game? He remembered talking to Shirley about some poker games, but he didn't remember hearing anything about a 22-person poker game. Was it a new game?
While he was thinking about poker, Portia changed the topic again.
"Speaking of Elysium, have you heard about it? According to the prophecy from the Stargazing Sun, the Elysium will be turned upside down by a 'returnee'. That's why Elysium has been shrinking like crazy. That mean witch Honeybud is now as cautious as a mouse in an underground tunnel. Even the slightest disturbance can scare her. She's always bothering Mister Lawson, trying to get Floating Mech City to deal with the so-called returnee. I think she's crazy. Mister Lawson won't mess with a top-tier wizard for no reason.
"She wants to seduce Mister Lawson with her beauty? Look at Mister Lawson's body. I think he replaced all his body parts with machines except for his head. He can't even get hard. How can he lust after your beauty? What a joke. "
Angor was speechless. I think I just heard something strange. Do you witches really like to gossip so much? Aren't you afraid of Mister Lawson's retaliation?
Portia continued, "But Elysium still saw the opportunity to make money under such circumstances. They even opened their poker house and invited Shirley to perform a magic show. I have to say, some of them have a good sense of smell.
"They already earned a lot of magic crystals from their poker house in just a few months. Even if other people tried to copy them, they wouldn't be able to do it on such a large scale. "
Portia sighed and changed the topic, "Oh right, speaking of making money, apart from poker cards, your drama box is also very popular these days. But Elysium dares to touch poker cards, but they don't dare to touch your drama box. Do you know why? "
Angor was about to answer when Portia beat him to it. "Because they can't find a good source."
Angor swallowed the words he was about to say. He felt that Portia didn't need a conversation partner at all. She only needed someone to listen to her words.
"Recently, there are more people who can refine stage play boxes than before. But I've bought a few, and they can't compare to yours at all. Whether it's in terms of realism, plot, or even the language you used in your classes, they all can't compare to yours.
"Even if Elysium wants to open a 'grand theater', they can't get their hands on a quality box that can be recognized by everyone.
"Unless they can buy a box like yours. But you can't find one on the market anymore. Even if there is one, it'll be snatched up immediately. They can't get their hands on it.
"As far as I know, they were planning to find you directly. It's just that they couldn't find you."
Portia looked at Angor with a teasing smile. "You're doing great now, aren't you? A bunch of beautiful witches are eyeing you. Are you happy?"
Angor didn't know what to say.
"About the drama box, I have another secret." Portia continued, "I heard that Stirling is also working on a drama box, and she's using your name."
Angor wasn't going to say anything and just listen to Portia. But when he heard about Stirling and how it was related to him, he couldn't help but ask, "My name?"
He didn't even know Stirling …
Portia nodded. "That's right, it's your banner. However, he didn't do anything bad. He just used the excuse that he's your colleague. Furthermore, he has a Shadow Box that you refined and used it to recruit many talents in the Illusion Department. "
"She's doing this because she wants to find a way to mass produce drama box, and … you know, she's just trying to make money."
"… That's very Stirling."
According to Portia, Stirling probably wanted to duplicate Angor's box and mass produce it to make a fortune.
"However, do you think you can recruit an illusionist just by using my name? What kind of logic is that? "Angor was a little confused. Was it really that easy to find Illusionists?
And it didn't make any sense at all. If these Illusionists really wanted to join Stirling because of Angor, why didn't they just join Phantom Island?
Even if Phantom Island had some requirements, they could have just joined Brute Cavern first.
Angor didn't understand.
Portia didn't either. "Anyway, that's what I heard. I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I don't know. If you're really curious, you can go and see Stirling yourself. I'm sure he won't refuse. "
Angor finally understood what Portia meant. So it was just a rumor. It was normal for rumors to be exaggerated.
The truth was that Stirling didn't find Illusionists using Angor's name. Stirling must have found them using other methods.
Still, "using Angor's name" was much more attractive, especially when Angor was the center of attention right now. This kind of publicity was even more eye-catching.
After chatting for a while, Portia moved on to something more serious.
For example, just like Mithra, she also paid attention to Angor's situation after learning that he was in Billon Tree Garden.
She also talked about East Igor's matter.
Her suggestion was similar to Mithra's. East Igor didn't show up in person. Angor didn't need to respond at all.
However, East Igor's declaration was also a landmine.
As a member of the research department, Portia's words carried as much weight as Angor's. She also had more connections than Angor. If Angor wanted to secure his current position, he had to find a way to get past East Igor.
Portia was worried about Angor's decision at first. However, when she learned that Angor already had a plan and was going to announce his new product at the tea party, she didn't ask about it.
She would definitely go to the tea party, and she would know when she saw it.
However, Portia still added, "It's a good time to announce your new product at the tea party. Brute Cavern is where the party will be held, so it'll be easier for you to control public opinion. But you can't let your guard down because East Igor might be there as well. Even if your new product can't be accepted by East Igor, you should at least try to convince the other witches.
Otherwise, if East Igor really shows up to challenge you, your plan might backfire. "
In other words, Angor's new product couldn't be too weak. He had to rely on the quality of his product to convince the other witches instead of using his identity as the host.
Angor understood this, but he wasn't worried about it at all.
The dream wasteland might not be able to convince everyone right away, but its appearance would definitely become a turning point in the history of the southern wizarding region.
It wasn't Angor who said this. It was the Watcher.
If even the Watcher thought so, there was no need to mention the other witches.
But Portia's reminder reminded Angor of something that he had overlooked before: East Igor might really come to the tea party.
Angor thought that East Igor wouldn't come because of Madelyne. Now that he thought about it, East Igor was more likely to come. Besides, East Igor was a guest of the tea party and a master alchemist. As the host, Brute Cavern wouldn't dare to do anything to East Igor. They even had to ensure her safety.
If Angor confirmed that Garinaya tried to kill her in the Abyss Plane, East Igor might use this as an excuse to cause trouble.
If that happened, Brute Cavern would be held back.
Perhaps Angor needed to tell Leona about this in advance so that East Igor wouldn't cause any trouble.
…
About 15 minutes later, Portia received Antonio's message that Dongli had arrived at the signal tower.
Following a series of footsteps, Dongli walked into the range of the light screen.
She was wearing a delicate black princess dress and a very pompous Sinan hat on her head. The top of the hat was shaped like a cone with iron wires inside. The brim of the hat was secured by a golden ring, and the front of the hat was covered with dark velvet with silver gauze.
Her outfit was already exaggerated enough, but her movements were even more exaggerated.
Her entire body was like a delicate puppet. When she walked, the feeling of twisting, stiffness, and sluggishness assaulted his senses. Every movement of hers was extremely disharmonious.
It was as if someone was manipulating an invisible string behind her, pulling her in front of them.
But this sense of puppet déjà vu only appeared when she was moving, and when she was still, her expression was less rigid than before. However, she did not return to her normal appearance. Instead, she tilted her head and used a sweet voice to say cruel words that outsiders could not understand.
Judging from the direction of her head, she seemed to be talking to someone behind her.
But there was no one behind her.
If there was someone behind her, it could only be her "non-existent" sister.
When she stood still, she turned around and bowed to Portia and Angor with her soft voice.
"Sir, did you ask me to come here because you agreed to make the hat for me? My sister can't wait to see her new hat! "Dongli looked at Angor impatiently.
Angor didn't answer right away. Instead, he carefully thought about Dongli's behavior since she came in.
Earlier, he had felt that Donglis's actions were weird, but if there was really someone behind Donglis, her previous weird behavior could be explained.
Also, from the way she looked at Dongli, Angor could tell that she really believed there was a "sister" around her. It was just that she was the only one who could see her sister.
"If you want me to make the hat, you need to answer a few questions," Angor said in a low voice.
With a wronged expression, Dongli murmured in a low voice, "So, you have a condition … My sister wants the hat that you make so much."
"Fine, fine. Since Milord asked me to answer a question, I'll answer it ~ I love answering questions the most, and so does my sister ~ "A second ago, Donglis was still pretending to be aggrieved, but the next second, she began to shake her head and smile with misty eyes.
Angor ignored Dongli's "act". "First question. Why do you want me to make the hat? Can't someone else do it? "
