Next, the black-robed man asked many more questions in a roundabout way.
Many of them were questions about his standpoint.
Basically, it was the black-robed man asking Angor's opinion, but he also revealed some of his own thoughts.
Even if the old man did not say anything, Angor could still read the man's emotions.
For example, when the black-robed man asked Angor's opinion about bloodlines and purebloods, Angor told him that he did not have an opinion. The black-robed man was satisfied with Angor's answer, but he did not care about Angor's opinion.
Obviously, the black-robed man had his own opinion.
And judging from his emotions, he supported the Wheatland Declaration. This also meant that he sided with pureblood wizards.
So, even if it was the black-robed man asking questions, he also gave away a lot of his own information.
When the black-robed man finished asking, Angor spoke casually, "You seem to know a lot about bloodlines. I saw a lot of bloodlines on the list."
Angor did not ask directly, but he was indirectly asking if the black-robed man was a Bloodline Wizard.
The black-robed man knew what Angor was implying, but he did not hide it. He nodded and said, "No. I am a Bloodline Wizard, so I know a lot about Bloodlines."
He already asked a lot of questions about Bloodlines, so he was not surprised by Angor's question. However, Angor's next question surprised him.
"Are you from the Wildland World?"
The black-robed man frowned. "Why do you ask, sir?"
Normally, by saying that he was a Bloodline Wizard, he was indirectly admitting that he was a "human". Since he was a human, he must be from the south, not a foreign land.
Angor gave the black-robed man a thoughtful look. "Standpoint first, ideology second. That is not the mainstream of the southern wizarding world."
Bloodlines and purebloods had always been the subject of endless disputes among Bloodline Wizards, but it was not serious enough to ask about a person's standpoint.
The southern wizarding region was too big, and Bloodline Wizards were scattered all over the place. They could not gather for long periods of time, so there were not so many conflicts.
On the other hand, the place where the Bloodline Adepts gathered was the Barbarian World, where a large number of bloodline adepts gathered. This was especially true for the Land of Floating, the origin of the Declaration of Wheat. Basically, the Land of Floating had already reached the point of "not looking at right or wrong, only recognizing one's position".
When the black-robed man asked about Angor's position, Angor immediately thought of the Wildland Plane.
"It seems that the topic I started was too abrupt." The black-robed man said softly, "No, as far as I know, the Bloodline Sorcerers of the Barbarian World were even more extreme when they confirmed that they weren't on my side."
The black-robed man admitted that his stance was a little absurd, but he believed that his ideology was much more shallow compared to the Bloodline Adepts in the Savage World.
In other words, he did not admit that he came from the Desolate Savage World.
Angor didn't really care about the man's opinion.
The black-robed man denied that he came from the wildlands, but Angor already knew something else from his expression. …

He couldn't tell for sure just by reading the man's emotions, but he was sure that the man was a human from the Wildlands.
The reason was not only because of the "standpoint" that he mentioned before, but also because of a very important "off-the-field factor".
He had only met two humans in the Crystal City.
The first one was the Rice God. Rice God was confirmed to be a Bloodline Wizard from the wildlands.
Now there was another black-robed man, who was also a Bloodline Wizard, and he kept talking about his "standpoint".
If Angor didn't meet Rice God first, he might really think that the black-robed man came from the south. But with Rice God as an example, Angor's first thought was definitely the wildlands, not the south.
Both of them had something to do with the Savage World.
Angor even thought that the black-robed man might be related to Rice God.
No, neither Rice God nor Black Robe had anything to do with him. He came to the party to promote the Dream Crystal, not to catch up with his "fellow countrymen".
Since the black-robed man didn't want to admit that he came from the wildlands, Angor decided to change the topic.
"Can we talk about the 'Unknown Smooth Hand' on the list?"
The black-robed man gave Angor a puzzled look. "Are you interested in this clue, sir?"
If Angor was interested, why didn't he mention it earlier?
Angor shook his head with a smile. "I'm not looking for it. I'm just curious about the effect of a Mystery item."
The black-robed man narrowed his eyes. Maybe he could use this chance to ask Angor a question. "Excuse me, sir. Are you an alchemist?"
Angor didn't deny it. "Sort of."
The black-robed man nodded. Since Angor already admitted that he was an alchemist, it was normal for him to be curious about Mystery items.
The black-robed man considered and said, "You mentioned something about a 'rotten street' before. I think you're talking about the Growth Ray, right?"
Angor nodded. "Glazed Night Long Island."
The black-robed man immediately understood. The Growth Ray did come from Glazed Night Island, so it was normal that Angor wasn't satisfied with the clue.
"Yes, the Growth Ray might be spread far and wide. But I can assure you that very few people know about the 'Unknown Smooth Hand'," the black-robed man said. "If you only want to know its general effect, I can talk about it. But if you want to know more about it, you'll have to pay. "
Angor nodded. "I understand."
The black-robed man didn't try to fool Angor. Instead, he told Angor everything he knew about the Mystery item.
The arm looked like a human arm, but it didn't come from a human. It came from an orangutan.
As far as Angor knew, the orangutan's arm didn't have any, but its effect was to make people grow hair.
As long as the hand touched the ground, hair would grow crazily.
The black-robed man didn't know if there was a limit to the growth of hair, but he once heard that someone died because of it. …

"… So, this Mystery item looks simple, but it has some practical value. And for the baldies, it's simply a blessing. "
Angor listened to the black-robed man's explanation. Mystery Items had all kinds of strange effects.
Angor didn't ask for more information about the arm.
He wasn't interested in the arm. Also, the arm didn't sound that useful, but that was only based on what the black-robed man said.
Besides, if the arm could make people grow hair like crazy, what if someone actively touched the arm? Was there a limit to the hair? Was there anything special about the hair?
Also, would the arm only make living things grow hair? What if it wasn't just a living thing, but also an inorganic substance?
Angor wasn't just wondering. If he already lost the arm, such a thing would happen.
The more he knew about Mystery items, the more cautious he had to be.
Angor didn't want to risk his life just for a simple clue. Besides, if it was so easy to get the arm, why didn't the black-robed man go himself?
Angor didn't ask about the arm's thread, and the black-robed man wasn't here either. As long as Angor had a buyer, the black-robed man would give it to him. It didn't matter if there was one more or one less.
…
Three minutes later, Laplace opened the curtain and walked out.
Angor and the black-robed man looked at him at the same time.
Angor wanted to know if Laplace found anything "worth picking up".
The black-robed man also wanted to see if there were any real treasures among his "unknown" items.
No, Laplace didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Angor.
At the same time, Angor also received Laplace 'voice transmission. "I recognized three items. No, only one of them is valuable."
The three objects that Laplace recognized happened to be three stones of different shapes.
The first one was a tower-shaped stone with unknown patterns on it. Angor observed it carefully and felt that the patterns were so beautiful that they gave him a strange feeling.
Angor didn't recognize the stone, but he guessed that it might be something good.
But …
Laplace's answer surprised Angor a little. "It's a yellow caterpillar fossil."
Yellow caterpillar was an extinct plant in the Wildland World. When it was alive, it would lie on the ground like a wild animal for the first thirty years of its life. But when it died, it would stand up and absorb energy from its surroundings through the patterns on its body. The energy would then be stored inside its body to form a tower. This kind of absorbed energy was not real energy. It was just a kind of "energy illusion" or "energy aura field". However, to other beasts and demons, the "overflowing light" of the yellow catmint was very confusing. They would think that it might be a demon, so they would swallow the yellow catmint.
Yellow caterpillar was swallowed by a monster, and the monster would excrete its excrement to spread its seeds.
The flower on the yellow caterpillar had some supernatural properties, but it was not a demon plant yet.
This fossil preserved the tower-shaped shape of the yellow caterpillar, which also preserved the patterns on its body. The patterns had been quietly absorbing energy for a long time, which created a very unique energy field. …

Even Angor was fooled by it.
Plus, the outer shell of the fossil was probably the organ of some monster. The combination of these two factors made the yellow caterpillar fossil very confusing.
In Laplace's opinion, the yellow caterpillar fossil had no value.
Still, Angor believed that the fossils of Polygonum flavum had some research value. It was an extinct plant after all. Also, the patterns could absorb energy, which was quite interesting.
Angor thought to himself. If the yellow caterpillar fossil was not useful, he could take it.
The second stone was also a fossil.
It was the inner nest of a monster named "Lillu". The nest should contain the monster's "Queen". However, it had been too long since it became a fossil, which was at least ten thousand years old. It had lost all supernatural properties, and the so-called "Queen" inside no longer carried any energy.
More importantly, Lillu also existed in the void. Although it was not that powerful, it was difficult to find one. Still, if Angor really wanted to buy a Lillu, he could easily find one from the void caravan.
So, the fossil was really worthless.
The third stone was a marble-sized, light-yellow liquid. It was also the most valuable stone in Laplace's opinion.
It was a very rare birthstone.
Angor immediately understood the value of this crystal when he heard the name "birthstone".
Angor never saw a birthstone, but he heard about it. It came from before the world was born, which was why it was called a birthstone.
After some research, Angor determined that birthstones had nothing to do with the birth of a world. However, its name had been passed down for too long, so it was difficult to change it.
As for birthstones, they were actually created by energy.
They were made of energy, which meant they could be anything other than stones. They could also be crystals, wood, or even liquids.
Birthstones were valuable because they were made entirely of the energy of space and time.
When the properties of space and time reached a dynamic balance, no energy would escape from a birthstone, and it would look just like an ordinary energy block.
Only someone who possessed both the properties of space and time could identify a birthstone.
Angor did not have such an ability, so when he saw the glowing liquid, he only thought it was an abandoned energy stone.
Birthstones were considered high-end materials because they possessed two extremely rare properties at the same time.
They could be used not only for research, but also as a casting medium. Of course, they could also be used as alchemy consumables.
Yes, this was a very good Extraordinary item. Due to the difficulty of identifying birthstones, there were very few of them in the southern wizarding region. Even the Sky Auction did not sell many birthstones.
As an alchemist, Angor was very interested in a birthstone. He had already made up his mind to get his hands on it.
Apart from that, he was also curious about Laplace.
Standing behind the curtain, they could sense what was going on inside the room. Otherwise, the black-robed man did not dare to place the item on the table for them to see alone.
Because of this, Angor was certain that Laplace did not use any tools to identify the item. She relied on her own power.
Did this mean Laplace had both the power of space and time?
Quantity? How else could she identify a birthstone?
Angor did not want to ask right now. He nodded at Laplace and looked at the black-robed man.
"Is there anything you like, sir?" The man quickly asked. "Is there anything you like, sir?"
