The reason was simple.
In the Eye of Doomsday, he saw a red ribbon hovering above the blood-soaked sky. It was the same thing he saw on Froste's friend.
Froste didn't go to the Box of Rebirth alone. He was accompanied by a mysterious hunter named Zorn.
Zorn carried a Mystery item with him. It was a red scarf, which looked exactly like the ribbon in the Eye of Doomsday.
Using the scarf, Angor confirmed that the Eye of Doomsday was inside the Box of Rebirth.
He knew that the Eye of Doomsday was inside the Box of Rebirth, but he couldn't figure out why an apprentice from the Rising Star Competition was inside the box.
Now, he knew why.
It wasn't the apprentices who fell into the Box of Rebirth. It was the Sky Tower who summoned them for a mission.
Thinking of this, he felt a little strange.
When Mayor Rosen and Principal Muse decided to station their people in the Ancient Inferior World, Angor warned them to stay away from the Box of Rebirth. It was a place where even legendary wizards could die easily.
Now, it seemed that they took his advice seriously. However, it didn't mean that they couldn't let others in.
And the apprentices who got trapped this time were the ones who accepted the mission.
"You seem to have other ideas about the Sky Tower's mission, don't you?" Portia noticed that Angor kept frowning, especially when he heard about the mission. His frown deepened, and his expression became even weirder.
Angor chuckled. "Nothing. I just think that Floating Mech City has gotten addicted to tricking apprentices."
"Oh?" Portia raised an eyebrow.
"Wasn't the purification garden already enough? So you're going to set up a new trap for us this time?" Angor asked in a plain tone.
Portia didn't know what Angor meant at first. But now, she did.
She remembered that Angor went to the purification garden the first time he came here. That time, the purification garden did trap many apprentices. Portia didn't know the details of this mission, but she could guess that the apprentices who were summoned were going to enter the Box of Rebirth.
Once they entered the Box of Rebirth, they might die.
From Angor's point of view, the mission looked like a new trap set up by Floating Mech City to trap apprentices.
Of course, Angor would show a sarcastic look.
However, Portia did know some inside information about this mission. Although it was a trap, it wasn't as bad as the one in the purification garden.
She thought for a while and decided to help out, "This mission actually has some hidden secrets. It's not entirely a scam to the apprentices who accepted the mission. If you're interested, you can ask Antonio later. He knows more. "
Angor nodded and changed the topic. "Did your sister ask you to do this mission?" He looked at Doriz and asked.
Doriz nodded.
"Why did your sister have to accept this mission?"
In other words, what did Galatea "see"? She asked Donglis to accept the mission even though she knew that the death rate of this mission was very high.
"Because there's a chance for me," said Doriz.
"A chance?" Both Angor and Portia looked at Doriz in confusion.
"Yes. She told me that there's a chance for me to level up, so I have to go." Speaking of this, Donglis's face collapsed. She said in a pitiful tone, "However, I don't know what the specific opportunity of advancement is … Perhaps, I can get a lot of heads and hats there? I don't know. I guess I'll have to figure it out one step at a time. "
To put it bluntly, Doriz accepted the mission purely because of the benefits.
Galatea "saw" the chance for her to level up, which was why she still asked Doriz to accept the mission despite knowing how dangerous it was.
As for why Galatea couldn't see what the "chance for her to level up" was, it was understandable. The Box of Reincarnation was a Mystery item that had lost its order. It was already good enough that Galatea could sense the "chance for her to level up" under the cover of the Mystery aura. It was almost impossible for her to see further.
Angor believed Doriz's words. After all, subjective initiative was built on the basis of profit. And the chance for her to level up was the biggest benefit Doriz had right now.
"Next, I need you to tell me your sister's answer. Why does she think the hat I made can lower the death rate?"
Looking at the air nearby, Donglis murmured to herself for a long time, before she turned around and said to the light screen, "I don't know, either. But she's sure that the hat made by Mister Padt and Granny Fingernail will increase my survival rate. She said that you can think of it as a prophecy, sir. "
Doriz wasn't lying. Galatea didn't know how to make prophecies, but she could ask questions from "Big Dumb".
Galatea asked a lot of questions, but she didn't get any answers.
It wasn't that Big Dumb couldn't see the future. It was just that the destination of the mission was special.
In the end, Big Dumb only answered two questions.
The first one was about the difficulty of the mission.
Big Dumb's answer was that there was only a slim chance of survival.
The second one was about how to increase Doriz's survival rate.
Big Dumb's answer was to ask Angor and Granny Fingernail to make a hat. It didn't have to be a hat. As long as the hat was tainted with their aura, it would increase Doriz's survival rate to a certain extent.
Big Dumb might know the specific reason, but it didn't want to share it.
Still, Galatea was satisfied with the answer. As long as she followed Big Dumb's instructions, Doriz would be fine. Since Doriz was fine, Galatea would be fine too.
Angor didn't know what Doriz was hiding from him. But he had a vague idea why she wanted the hat made by him and Granny Fingernail.
The destination of the mission was the Box of Reincarnation.
What did Granny Fingernail and Angor have in common when they used the Box of Reincarnation as the main axis?
There was only one thing he could think of: Ivo Splitter.
Angor once went to the small dimension inside the Box of Reincarnation through the Gate of Illusion, where he met Alex, who was trapped in a cage. Alex was actually Ivo, who had lost his memories.
Inside the cage, Angor witnessed Alex's transformation.
In a way, Angor was the only friend Alex had after losing his memories.
However, the relationship between Ivo and Granny Fingernail could not be defined by the word 'friend'. It was more subtle and intimate.
Both Angor and Granny Fingernail were connected to Ivo in some way.
Ivo, on the other hand, was the true creator of the Box of Reincarnation.
Although it was impossible for him to control the out-of-order Casket of Reincarnation right now, considering his identity as the Chosen One, it was possible that Donglis could increase her survival rate by staying with him after she entered the Casket of Reincarnation.
Of course, Angor couldn't tell for sure. This was the only thing Angor could think of in common with Granny Fingernail when it came to the Box of Rebirth.
"One last question. What is your sister's requirement for the hat I made?" Angor thought for a moment before asking another question.
They all knew that as long as Galatea's request wasn't too unreasonable, Angor would probably agree.
This was a good thing for Doriz and Portia.
Doriz aside, Portia really wanted to get her hands on the material that Summer Dew had been keeping for a long time. For Portia, it was as good as giving Doriz a chance to break through.
Portia couldn't help but look around Doriz. She couldn't see Galatea, but she knew that Galatea was talking to Doriz right now.
About two minutes later, Donglis opened her mouth. "Sister's request is for a modified Sinan hat. Instead of a pointed one, it should be a round one. The brim of the hat should be wider, too. It would be best if it was wider than my skirt."
Doriz's dress was a princess dress, and there were iron wire supports inside, which meant the brim should be wider than her dress. Angor couldn't imagine how beautiful such a hat could be.
Are you sure it's a hat, not a table?
Also, if the Sinan hat is pointy, it'll be a bowler hat.
"It'll be best if there's something inside that can cover my face. My sister doesn't want people to see her face."
Even if your sister doesn't cover her face, no one can see it, right?
"It'll be best if the hat has a dark color, such as vermilion or black-gray."
Vermilion, black-gray … That's more like a table. Maybe I should add a teapot or something to the hat?
Angor complained in his mind while listening to the story.
Maybe Doriz's taste was too advanced, but Angor didn't understand the hat at all.
Still, Duniz's request was a little strange, but it was clear that Angor didn't need to create it himself, which was a good thing.
"Alright, let's talk about the hat's characteristics. What kind of effect does your sister want? "Angor asked.
Only after knowing the characteristics of the hat could Angor decide what material to use for it.
To Angor's surprise, Doriz shook her head. "You can choose any material you want, sir. There's no limit to the effect. My only request is that it must be engraved with your alchemy emblem, sir."
Judging from Galatea's request, she didn't care about the effect of the hat. Instead, she wanted Angor's alchemy emblem.
This further convinced Angor that Galatea chose him and Granny Fingernail because of Wizard Ivo.
Ivo, or Alex, saw Angor's alchemy emblem.
Angor used nightmare energy to modify a dagger for Alex, and he also engraved his own alchemy emblem on it.
If Ivo saw Doriz's hat inside the Box of Reincarnation, he would probably know that Angor was the one who crafted it.
But even if Ivo did run into Doriz, what could he do to help her?
Ivo had lost his memories, and he didn't have any energy left in his body. He was no different from a mortal.
If Doriz ran into Ivo, it was hard to say who would help whom.
Angor sighed and decided not to think about it. The situation inside the Box of Reincarnation was too complicated, and he couldn't go there right now.
"Anything else?" Angor looked at Doriz.
"No." Doriz shook her head.
Angor nodded. "I can make the hat for your sister, but I have a condition that you and your sister must agree to."
Doriz glanced at the "air" around her and nodded at Angor. "What is it, sir?"
"Do not harm anyone who recognizes the alchemy emblem on the hat, no matter what the reason."
Both Doriz and Portia gave Angor a strange look.
She had a feeling that Angor already knew why Doriz and Galatea wanted to make those hats.
Doriz looked at her sister Galatea and nodded at Angor. "Sure."
…
Satisfied, Doriz left.
"What do you think about Galatea, Donglis' sister?" Portia looked at Angor and asked, "So, what do you think about her?"
Angor shook his head.
He couldn't see or hear Galatea's voice, so he didn't have any thoughts about her.
In fact, he still doubted Galatea's existence.
"I'm still separated by a screen." Angor looked at Portia. "How about you, Lady Portia? You're right next to Doriz. Can you sense Galatea?"
Portia chuckled in self-mockery. "I wouldn't need to ask you if I could sense her."
"But then again, this Galatea might really have some abilities that we can't imagine." Portia said, "If even Summer Dew is willing to open the way for her, you can imagine how important her ability is."
"I can't see her anyway. Her power has nothing to do with me." Before meeting Doriz, Angor was curious to see what kind of strange request Galatea would make. But now that he had a general idea of the story, his curiosity was mostly gone.
Seeing that Angor didn't want to talk about Galatea, Portia decided to change the topic. "When you talked about the alchemy emblem, I felt something was wrong. Have you guessed the reason why Galatea asked you to refine it? "
Angor shook his head. "Just some random ideas. I need some time to sort them out."
In other words, he wasn't going to tell Portia about it yet.
Portia understood what he was implying. She was a little disappointed, but she did not ask further.
"I'm more curious about the mission than Doriz. Do Mayor Lawson and Principal Muse know what they're doing? Why did they give out such a mission? "
