Lady's Juice. Angor walked into Twilight Well and reached the first fork in the road, which led to Lady's Juice.
Due to the mist, Angor could only see some broken stones and blood stains around the building. Now that he was closer, he realized that Lady's Juice was much more dilapidated than he thought. All the other buildings around were intact, except for Lady's Juice, which looked half-broken from the outside.
Angor assumed that Sunders destroyed the building during his battle with the dragonfly guards.
Lady's Juice was an oval-shaped building that looked like an egg cut in half. At first, Angor thought it was a theater or a place for performing. Only places that required a large audience would be built in such a large scale.
Later, he realized that it was a place of entertainment for wizards, which was an even better place to spend money. He also sold slaves in the slave market. However, the slaves sold here were mostly beautiful men and women who provided services. They were basically mortals. There were also low-leveled apprentices who came here willingly, hoping to earn some resources by serving wizards.
No human settlement could be absolutely clean. Angor had no prejudice against such places. However, he had never been to one before. This was his first time going in. Regrettably, there were no longer any peerless beauties inside. There were only dilapidated golden stone walls and gemstone decorations.
There was no one in the outer hall. Right in front of him was a fountain filled with sweet red wine. Angor could smell the fragrance of grapes even before he got close. The purple-red liquid was gushing out of the dolphin statue's mouth, which was mixed with faint golden light.
The golden light contained a strange energy. Angor reached out his finger and sniffed it. It seemed to contain pheromones, which could soothe tired nerves and disrupt the brain's reward and punishment mechanism. It could even be addictive. In short, the red wine here was more than just wine. It was also a kind of liquid drug.
He walked around the fountain and saw a row of plants under the splendid painting, which gave him a complicated feeling.
He found all the unranked magic plants in the magic plant shops outside. He didn't even have the desire to collect them. But in the front hall of Lady's Juice, he found that they were using a row of low-level magic plants as a viewing platform. How could he not feel complicated?
"Snakeskin Flower to make Blood Coagulation Potion, Bodan Seed that can be used as an anesthetic just by smelling it, Night Branch that can produce Moon Frost …" Angor looked at the row of low-level magic plants and sighed. Those who earned money were all rich.
Next, he picked a seedling from a clump of Boutain's Bush. Next, he took a branch from a tree. Then, he put them into his bracelet. It wasn't that he didn't want to take more, but the space in his bracelet was too small for living things.
Angor grinned when he found a magic plant worth nearly a hundred magic crystals. He walked toward the inner hall in a good mood.
Under Sunders' guidance, Angor successfully arrived at the inner hall of the nest.
Standing outside the closed door, Sunders spoke in a low voice, "Are you nervous? If you're scared, we can reset the plan. "
"Don't worry." Angor grinned from ear to ear.
Sunders noticed the joy in Angor's voice and praised him. "You're excited, aren't you? Because of the unknown adventure? " As a war-oriented wizard, Sunders naturally hoped that his student would not be afraid of the future, instead of staying in an ivory tower and being protected by layers of protection.
"Yes, I'm very excited." Angor rubbed his hands and looked like he was ready for a big fight. "This Lady's Juice is so rich. They put magic crystals on the walls. I've already broken 50 of them on my way here!"
Sunders didn't know what to say. I thought you were slow because you were being cautious. So you're picking magic crystals? I didn't know you were like this!
"Since you entered Lady's Soup, you've spent almost an hour. Do you think you can only make 50 magic crystals in an hour? "Sunders almost pointed at Angor's nose and scolded him for wasting time.
Angor finally realized that he was a little lost. If he really spent all his time on alchemy, it would be too easy for him to earn 50 magic crystals in an hour. But he spent an hour breaking magic crystals on the walls? What was this if not wasting time?
Angor understood, but he still felt that it was great to get something for free.
"Alright. Breaking a few dozen magic crystals is nothing to the Blissful Parlor. If they know you solved the problem of the dragonflies in the inner hall, they'll reward you with a few thousand crystals."
Angor quickly waved his hands. "Professor, please don't tell anyone about me." He was afraid that people would find out that he was the one who caused the problem. Twilight might be able to chase after him, but Blissful Parlor was a huge organization he could not afford to offend.
Of course, Sunders knew what Angor was thinking. He laughed and scolded Angor for being a coward.
"Go inside. Be careful. If the dragonflies attack you, release your Nightmare Domain and have the teacups go to confuse them. I'm hiding in the mist on the top floor of the inner hall. You just need to buy one or two seconds for me to come to your rescue. "
"Okay." Angor was not nervous at all. However, after hearing Sunders' serious words, he began to move carefully.
He carefully pushed the door open and peeked inside. There was only mist, and he could not see anything.
The door remained open for a few seconds, but he didn't feel anything wrong, so he decided to push the door open with all his might.
Through the crack of the door, he could only see a gray mist. But when he pushed the door open, he saw a giant creature hiding in the mist.
Just by looking at the blurry black shadow, one could tell how huge the object in the fog was.
Angor did not move from the door. He maintained his connection with Sunders and told him about the huge shadow.
"That's right. That's the nest of the rainbow dragonflies. Every once in a while, it will release a wave of parasites. You'll be able to see it then," Sunders spoke quickly. It was obvious that he was ready for battle.
It didn't take long for Angor to see the "outburst of light".
When the scattered light gushed out, it was as if a hurricane had swept through, sweeping away the fog in the inner hall. Next, countless light particles swarmed out of the dimly lit inner hall like fireflies. Angor did not feel scared at all. He only felt that it was a beautiful and dreamy scene.
With the help of the light particles, Angor could see the entire nest clearly.
The inner hall of Lady's Juice was about ten meters tall, while the nest took up about seven or eight meters of height. The appearance of the nest was very strange. Hundreds of balls were stuck together by the yellowish mucus. Each ball had a dark passage in it, and the light was coming from it. It looked a bit like a beehive.
If it was a creature with a collective consciousness, then its nest was just a delivery room. Was it like bees or ants, where the rest of the workers were only there to serve the female at the top of the pyramid? Then, was this female the queen of the entire nest?
Angor asked Sunders out of curiosity.
"No. When I broke their nest last time, there were only about a hundred rainbow dragonflies left. They didn't reproduce. Instead, they used some kind of ritual to obtain a large number of parasites. "Sunders paused." So far, they only reproduce on the rainbow dragonflies. "
"They didn't attack you?" Sunders looked at Angor.
"I've been followed by the colorful dragonflies all the way here. They just kept praising Shava and did nothing else. I didn't see them healing the rainbow dragonflies. "
"Go inside and slowly walk to the nest."
Angor walked inside. Soon, he saw the rainbow dragonflies flying toward him in a figure eight. Sunders also saw this from the roof of Lady's Juice.
The last time he came here, these rainbow dragonflies attacked him directly. Sunders killed a few of them and left them alone. His main goal was to close the tunnel. He would keep the dragonflies for future research.
Unlike last time, the rainbow dragonflies did not do anything to him even when they reached him.
"Can you sense their emotions?"
"Yes, but they can't express their emotions well. I can't figure out a lot of things, but I'm sure they don't mean any harm." Just like the five-colored dragonflies, the rainbow dragonflies kept trying to find the right words to praise Shava. However, just like the five-colored dragonflies, the rainbow dragonflies did not have enough vocabulary. They could only use words like "Pure Moonlight", "The Queen's Grace", or "Honorable Sir". There was nothing else they could use.
Sunders sighed in relief. "Good. Now, test their patience. Go to the nest and climb to the top. The tunnel is there.
Remember, if they won't let you go, you're done. Back out, and I'll meet you outside. "
Angor followed Sunders' instructions and tested the dragonflies' patience step by step.
However, he soon realized that the rainbow dragonflies had no bottom line for him at all. Angor climbed to the top of the nest and saw the tunnel spewing out mist. The rainbow dragonflies did not stop it.
When Angor left Lady's Juice, Sunders came to him and patted his shoulder. "I didn't think things would go so smoothly. Looks like 'Shava' is quite important in the Nightmare Realm. I've prepared several escape plans, but I don't think we need them now. As long as you can successfully close the passageway on your side, then this fog incident won't be a big deal. It's still a good thing for the people who are being parasitized. "
They arrived at a manor, where a roaring lion statue was erected outside the gate.
"This is' Azure Lion 'Devildare's private residence."
