She raised her hand without hesitation. "I know how to answer that question!"
Angor frowned. Before he could say anything else, Donglitz turned to the air and said, "Sister, can I answer the question?"
Angor and Portia exchanged a glance on the other side of the screen. They didn't say anything and simply watched Dounitz's monologue.
Several seconds later, Donglis smiled and looked at Angor. "So you agreed, sister. Can I answer now?"
"… Sure."
Donglitz tilted her head and spoke in a proud tone, "Because my sister told me that I can only choose between Granny Fingernail and Mister Padt."
"What's the reason? You need a reason to choose me or Granny Fingernail, right? "
"Reason?" Donglitz was confused. "My sister told me to look for someone, and that's who I should look for. That's the reason."
"…" Angor felt like slamming the door and leaving. What's the point of not answering the question?
Portia helped Donglitz. "I don't think Mister Padt wants you to answer. He wants your sister to tell him why he can only choose between Granny Fingernail and Mister Padt."
Portia knew that she couldn't beat around the bush when talking to Donglitz. She had to point out the main point of the question and who she was asking. Otherwise, Donglitz would waste the whole day talking nonsense.
"You're asking me about my sister … Alright then." Donglis shrugged, as if she were distracted from the conversation.
After two minutes of "acting", Portia finally broke the silence.
"Did your sister answer?" Portia asked.
Donglitz nodded. "She did."
Pausing for a moment, Donglis suddenly blinked her eyes. "Did you not hear it, my lords?"
"No, we didn't." Portia said, "You should know that not everyone can hear and see your sister, so if she says something, you'd better relay it to her."
"Is that so …" Donglis lowered her head and was silent for two seconds. Then, she suddenly raised her head and smiled brilliantly. "If you want me to convey my sister's words, sure, you have to trade with me!"
Donglitz looked like a kitten who just caught a fish. She made a "two" gesture at Angor and said, "I want a hat as well! One for me, and one for my sister. Two hats in total. "
Angor rubbed his swollen temples and sighed. He then signaled Portia with his eyes that he wouldn't want to talk to Dongli anymore if she kept talking like this.
At worst, he would reject both of Portia's conditions and contact Stirling directly.
Portia knew what Angor was thinking. She put away her fan and looked at Dounitz. "You want an extra alchemy item just because I told you about it? You don't get it so easily."
Dong Lizi looked at Portia seriously. "It's not a cheap deal. I'm the only one who can help my sister. It's what I deserve."
Donglitz was implying that since Donglitz did the work, she deserved to be rewarded.
It sounded reasonable, but it didn't make any sense at all. They were the ones asking for help. But now, Donglitz was acting like a noble who had to beg for help.
Portia wanted to reason with Donglis; however, looking at Donglis's stubborn look, she realized that it was very difficult for Donglis to change her mind after knowing Donglis for so long.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Does your sister think so too? She agreed that you can ask for a ridiculous price as long as you tell her what you want? "
Portia considered and decided to ask Donglitz's sister first.
Donglitz's sister must have her reasons for asking Angor and Granny Fingernail to make the hats. If Donglitz's sister had a bit of common sense, she would know that Donglitz's unreasonable request would not only get Angor's support, but would also cause Angor to leave.
Was this the result that Sister Dongliz wanted?
Upon hearing Portia's words, Doriz hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at her non-existent elder sister. She muttered to herself as though she were communicating with her.
Just when Portia felt that her method seemed to be working, she didn't expect Doriz to raise her head and say, "My sister said that this is what I deserve."
Angor remained calm, but he was already thinking about how to contact Stirling.
Portia was also looking at Donglitz angrily, but she had to suppress her anger in front of Angor.
"If that's the case, there's nothing more to say," Portia said in a plain tone.
Both Angor and Portia didn't look at Donglitz kindly either.
Perhaps Donglitz saw Portia's unfriendly expression, so she added, "My sister said that everything comes with a price. My help is also a form of payment, and I need to get something in return. Not just you, but my teacher also needs to pay a price if she wants to hear from my sister. "
The teacher Donglitz mentioned was the basket witch from Summerdew Ridge, Witch Summerdew.
Portia was about to ask Donglitz to leave, but when she heard that even Summerdew had to pay a price for asking Portia to pass on her sister's words, she stopped herself.
Donglitz continued, "Also, I don't have to ask Mister Padt to make two hats. My sister wants Mister Padt's hat, but I can ask for hats made by other people, such as Lady Portia's hat."
Portia's frown eased a little. She could see that Donglitz was willing to compromise. If she didn't need to trouble Angor, she could accept the hat herself.
However, Portia didn't agree right away. She looked at Donglitz, then at Angor on the other side of the screen. "Give me a second. I'll go to the signal tower and contact Witch Summerdew."
Portia decided to ask Summerdew herself.
Was Donglitz asking for too much, or did she really need to pay such a price?
…
About five minutes later, Portia returned from outside the door and walked back to the holographic screen.
Portia nodded to Angor. "Summerdew didn't say much, but she did admit that she needed to pay Donglitz if she wanted to know Galateya's words. And … it's not a small price. "
Galateya was Donglitz's sister's name.
As for the "small price", Portia was implying that Donglitz didn't ask for too much this time.
If even Donglitz's teacher had to pay a big price, then Angor and Portia didn't mind paying a small price.
Portia looked at Donglitz again. "I can promise you that I'll pay the price. If you want the hat too, we can talk after we leave the signal tower.
Now, can you pass on your sister's words? "
"With the hat, everything will be fine." Donglitz nodded with a smile. "What do you want from my sister? I'll ask her now."
Portia didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Angor.
Angor was about to leave. But since Portia went to ask Summerdew and decided to make the hat for Donglitz herself, he couldn't find a reason to leave.
Since he couldn't leave, he might as well keep asking.
"Same question. Why me and Granny Fingernail?"
Donglitz didn't hesitate this time. "Because only the hats made by Granny Fingernail and Mister Padt can increase my survival rate to 90%. If I survive, so will my sister. That's why you need Granny Fingernail and Mister Padt's hats. "
Survival rate? Angor was surprised. He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect Donglitz's answer to be so unexpected.
Even Portia was puzzled. "Why are those hats related to the survival rate?" She looked at Doriz with a puzzled look.
Doriz paused for a moment, as if she was talking to Galatea. After a while, she said, "I will have a long journey mission. According to my sister's judgment, the mortality rate of this mission will be very high, at least 70%. The only way to reduce the death rate and increase the survival rate is to ask Granny Fingernail or Mister Padt to make a hat for us. "
While Angor was still puzzled, Portia seemed to have realized something.
"Are you talking about the cross-realm quest from the Sky Tower?" Portia asked.
"Yes." Donglitz nodded.
Portia said, "The reward for this mission is high, but it's also very dangerous. Why would Witch Summer Dew agree to let you participate in this mission?"
Donglitz shrugged. "My teacher didn't agree at first. But since my sister chose the mission herself, she agreed."
To put it simply, Galatea's wish had changed Summerdew's mind.
When Portia contacted Summerdew earlier, she already knew that Summerdew valued Galatea a lot. But now, it seemed that Summerdew valued Galatea more than she thought.
Portia believed that Galatea was hiding something, and she was right.
"What's this mission you're talking about? By the way, Donglitz, does your sister have a prophetic ability? "Angor was still confused, so he decided to get straight to the point.
Of the two questions, the first one was for Portia, the second one was for Dillon.
Donglitz answered first, "My sister can't. But she can borrow some power from Big Dumb to see my future."
Big Dumb? What's that?
If she can't predict anything, then what is it?
Angor was about to ask when Donglitz added, "If you're interested in my power, mister, it's not something I can give you with a hat."
Angor glanced at Donglitz and didn't ask anything else. So far, Donglitz's sister did have some strange power. But Angor didn't find it too mysterious yet.
Portia spoke up as well, "The long-distance mission was recently issued by the Sky Tower. It was issued by … City Lord Lawson and Principal Muse.
The location isn't in the southern wizarding region. It's in the Ancient Inferior World. The participants are limited to level-3 apprentices, and the reward is very generous. "
When Portia was describing the 'mission', she deliberately left out a lot of details. She didn't want to hide it from Angor. She just didn't want Donglitz to know the details of the mission.
However, Donglis didn't care about it at all, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Or rather, Donglitz already knew what was going on. She just didn't care.
Portia's description of the mission was vague, but she did leave a lot of hints that Angor could understand.
For example, the issuer was related to the two city lords. Another example was that the location of the mission was … the Ancient Inferior World.
Combined with these hints, he already knew the whole story of the mission. In fact, he might know more than Portia.
Because he was the one who caused the bosses of Floating Mech City to set their sights on the Ancient Inferior World.
The ancient sub-world was not that special. It was a world not far from the southern region. Its resources were ordinary, and there were no special extraordinary materials. Even though it was not far from the southern region, the southern region's wizards rarely went to the ancient sub-world.
However, something big happened in the Ancient Inferior World recently.
An item out of order was born in the Ancient Inferior World. It was called "Revenant's Box of Reincarnation".
Angor never saw the item in its original form, but he knew that he was destined to meet it.
When Angor first activated the Gate of Illusion, he found himself in the cage inside the Box of Reincarnation.
It was there that he met Ivo Sprit, a genius alchemist from the R&D Department who had lost his memory.
At the same time, Wizard Ivo was the true creator of the Reincarnation Box.
Later, Angor met a legendary wizard named Froste, a Mystery Hunter from the Order Guild, who was also after the Box of Reincarnation.
After becoming a member of the R&D Department, Angor told everyone about the Box of Reincarnation and Ivo, which shocked the leaders of Floating Mech City.
After Granny Fingernail learned about Wizard Ivo, she immediately left the southern region and went to the Ancient Asian Realm to guard the front line of the Reincarnation Box.
Angor was the one who arranged everything for Floating Mech City in the Ancient Inferior World.
When Portia told Angor that their mission was in the Ancient Inferior World, she was basically telling him that the mission was related to the Box of Reincarnation.
That was most of what Portia knew. Angor knew something even more important than that.
During the Stargazing Day, Maya obtained a prophecy called "Eye of Doomsday".
The prophecy showed a peaceful world that was suddenly destroyed. Everything withered, the earth cracked, and bright orange lava gushed out. A giant evil spirit woke up from its slumber, and a giant Eye of Evil appeared in the sky.
As soon as this scene of doomsday appeared, all the Prophets on the Stargazing Day were stunned. However, after some research, they confirmed that the prophecy didn't come from the southern wizarding region, which relieved them.
Although the apocalypse did not appear in the Southern Region, there were figures from the Southern Region in the corner of the picture. Moreover, based on the silhouettes of two of the figures, it was very likely that these two people were this generation's Supernovas, which meant that they were part of the Rising Star Competition.
Even legendary wizards wouldn't be able to survive the prophecy, let alone apprentices.
So why would the apprentices go to the Rising Star Competition?
To find the answer, they had to know the exact location of the prophecy.
Many Prophets tried to figure out the answer, but none of them got the right answer.
On the other hand, the "Eye of Doomsday" quickly confirmed their location. The "Eye of Doomsday" was located inside the Chest of Reincarnation.
