After chatting for a while, the interlude ended.
Steward Fan returned to the dining hall with a covered plate.
"Hey, where's Miss Marian?" Steward Fan looked at the empty seat at the table.
Angor was about to answer when he heard high-heeled footsteps coming from the corridor.
Marian walked in elegantly in her long dress. When she walked past Steward Fan, she spoke in a casual tone, "I went to the garden to check out the word flower. It smells good. But it's still not as good as the Glutton Flower Lord Saliva you created, Mister Angor. "
While sitting down, Marian nodded at him from afar, as if she was praising his work.
But Angor sensed something else in Marian's eyes. Was she trying to tell him something?
Perhaps, just as Laplace said, Marian had guessed some of his operations?
Angor frowned and tried not to show any expression. It was not a big deal even if she did. Besides, since Marian did not expose him, it meant that she agreed to it.
Steward Fan did not know what Angor was thinking. When Marian sat down, he spoke again, "Now, it's time for dessert. Avicato left some desserts for everyone. I hope you like them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Fan opened the lid of the plate, revealing the so-called "dessert" inside.
They were … three bottles of wine.
The bottles were not big. They were about the size of a baby's arm.
Through the transparent glass, Angor could see that they were filled with red liquid.
Was it some kind of "red wine"?
Steward Fan smiled and said, "This is Moria's Dragon Blood Wine. It's brewed with the core blood of Aqua Dragons.
"Oh, right. Moria is the name of Avicato's heritage. It was passed down from its mother.
"This is Avicato's experiment. It might not taste good, but it's quite effective. Try it, everyone."
Steward Fan's eyes flickered when he mentioned "effective".
Angor noticed the change in Steward Fan's eyes, but he did not think too much about it. He only thought that Steward Fan was hinting about how powerful the wine was.
When Angor took the small bottle and was about to open it for a sniff, Marian suddenly said, "I suggest you don't drink it here."
Angor looked up in confusion. "???"
Marian didn't answer. She just glared at Steward Fan and said, "You should say it yourself."
Angor also looked at Steward Fan. Judging from Marian's words, there must be something fishy about the wine.
Steward Fan noticed the doubt in Angor's eyes. He smiled and explained, "Moria's Dragonblood Wine does have some side effects, but these effects are not big and can be easily resolved."
Steward Fan explained the situation in a few words.
Simply put, the effect of Moria's Dragon Blood Wine was to purify the bloodline and strengthen the body. However, there were some side effects in the process of refining Blood Qi, which was the appearance of illusions.
Illusions was an innate skill of the Aqua Dragon. Through illusions, it could stir up emotions, and then use those emotions to speed up the blood flow. Using its body as an oven, it could purify the impurities in its blood.
And these kinds of illusions that could evoke emotions were, without a doubt, decadent scenes.
Of course, ordinary Decadent Illusions wouldn't affect Extraordinaires too much. In fact, it could be completely ignored.
But what if the illusions were related to someone close to you?
Don't get me wrong. Such Decadent Illusions did not necessarily have a romantic label. They could be scenes that made you angry.
After all, anger could also trigger emotions.
For example, the illusions created by the illusions were hidden in the bottom of your heart, memories that you did not want to face the most and did not want to bring up again.
It was the same as digging up your sore spot and rubbing salt on your scars.
Moreover, such illusions were very unruly. They would do whatever they could to trigger your emotions. They could even make up rumors.
Besides, the illusions were not low-level ones. They would automatically correct their logic and plant seeds in your mind to make you doubt them.
For example, if someone lied to you, but it was actually a white lie. However, you did not know the kindness of the person. The illusions would use all kinds of hints, rumors, and other means to destroy the kindness of the person, leaving only the main reason of "the person lied to you".
They would also make you feel that the person was full of malice.
This was only a small example. The illusions came from your own subconscious mind and knew everything about you. Such omniscient illusions could accurately trigger great emotions in your mind.
Such emotions were not necessarily positive. They could also be negative.
Anyway, they only needed to trigger the emotions.
If you were a lustful person, such illusions might also appear. After all, lust was the best way to trigger emotions.
Because of this, Moria's Dragon's Blood reminded him not to treat the so-called dessert as a dessert.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with what Steward Fan said. From the perspective of the side effects, Moria's Dragonblood Wine was not too strong. It was just an illusion to raise one's mood, and it would not harm one's life. After enduring it, one's vitality would be increased.
No matter how you looked at it, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.
However, if Angor had to choose, he would not drink the wine on the spot. Even if the illusions were not serious, they were still related to him. Besides, the illusions came from his subconscious mind.
Even Angor could not control the illusions hidden in his subconscious mind.
Releasing illusions from his subconscious mind here was not a good choice.
"Must I drink Marian Blood Wine here?" Angor asked.
In other words, he was asking Steward Fan if he could bring Moria's Dragon's Blood Wine back to drink.
"Of course not. You can take it with you, mister."
Since Steward Fan put Marian Blood Wine in a bottle, it was meant to be a gift.
Angor put away the wine without hesitation. If he really wanted to drink it, he would have to go to a safe place.
Furthermore, the effect of the Dragon Blood Wine wasn't very good for him.
Angor even wondered if the wine could really purify the projected bloodline in his body. The projected bloodline was filled with green patterns. If the wine wanted to purify it, the green patterns would have to be reduced as well. Could it really do that?
Since he did not have to drink it on the spot, maybe he could give it to someone else? Or sell it?
While Angor was thinking about whether to keep the wine or not, Marian spoke in a casual tone, "You don't have to drink Marian Blood Wine. It can be used as a catalyst for making potions. If you want to use it for forging, you can refine it to restore the original appearance of Mercury Dragon's Blood. It's also the best catalyst."
Marian sounded like she was giving advice, but Angor understood that she was hinting at something.
Angor smiled but did not say anything.
Marian did not mind. "I'm not going to drink Marian Blood Wine right now. Just keep it for now."
After putting away the dragon blood wine, Marian looked up and said, "We ate quite quickly at this dragon feast. I think they're still talking about it outside. Shall we talk about it? "
"I'm very interested in the Dream Crystal."
Angor said, "I think it's better to see it with my own eyes."
While speaking, Angor took out three registers from his bracelet.
One was a feather-shaped pendant, the other was a red checkered bow tie, and the last one was a crown with a silver gem inlaid on it.
Since Angor had a free meal at the banquet, he had to show his gratitude. His login device was his reward.
Moreover, these three were not ordinary logins.
Angor refined them in advance so that they could not only be used as registers, but also had certain functions.
The "Ink Feather Pendant" was for Marian. The feather was a crow's feather, while Marian was a dragon crow, so it did not look strange at all. While crafting the Ink Feather Pendant, he also drew a rune of Light and Shadow on its feathers.
Normally, Light and Shadow runes were used by beginner and intermediate apprentices as an "invisibility" spell.
They used light and shadow to conceal themselves.
The invisibility effect was definitely not that strong, but for beginner and intermediate apprentices, it was enough.
However, the Light and Shadow rune Angor drew on the pendant could also change the light and shadow around the wearer and change the paint on the wearer's body.
For example, if the wearer felt that her dress was too plain today, she could manipulate the light and shadow to change the color of her dress.
It was a kind of accessory designed for women.
The effect was not outstanding, but for women who liked to look good, the function was not important. They only needed to show off their beauty.
He made the Ink Feather Pendant because he wanted to promote it during the tea party. But now, he gave it to Marian as a test.
She wanted to see if this kind of "gorgeous" and not functional login device could really be promoted among women.
The "red checkered bow tie" was the register Angor left for Steward Fan.
Angor also drew a simple rune on this one, called Rune of Silence.
The effect of Rune of Silence was not to silence the wearer's voice, but to reduce one's presence.
It looked similar to the "Infinite Reticence" on Angor's bracelet, but it was not.
Infinite Reticence was a magic array, which included Rune of Silence. However, the main effect of Infinite Reticence was to hide and distance. Reducing one's presence was an additional effect on top of hiding and distance.
Rune of Silence, on the other hand, directly reduced one's presence.
As a "steward", hiding one's presence as much as possible in front of the host and guests was very suitable for the role of a steward.
This was why Angor gave the red checkered bow tie to Steward Fan.
As for the "silver crown with embedded jewels", Angor left it for Avikato the Mercury Dragon. The dragon was not here, but it did not stop Angor from giving it to Steward Fan.
It was the most luxurious one, which looked like the crown of a king.
It was also the most time-consuming one among all the registers Angor made.
The rune engraved on the crown-shaped device was "Aether Expansion".
The name suggested that it was not a rune, but a magic array.
Aether Expansion contained two runes: Extension Rune and Transfiguration Rune.
It could change its size according to the wearer's size. In other words, it could be a small crown worn on a human's head, or a mountain-sized crown worn on a giant's head.
This kind of free change in size was the effect of "aether expansion."
Angor chose the crown as Avikato's gift because Avikato liked to stay in his dragon form. Avikato might look small, but his real body was as big as a mountain. A creature that could change its size frequently was perfect for the "Aether Expansion" effect.
Angor explained the functions of the three loggers and handed them to everyone.
The Ink Feather Pendant was given to Marian, while the crown and bow tie were given to Steward Fan. He would ask Steward Fan to give the crown to Avikato later.
Marian accepted Angor's gifts without hesitation.
She liked the Ink Feather Pendant as soon as Angor showed it to her. The black feather pendant was too similar to her Raven Feather. It looked like a miniature version of her Raven Feather.
It was perfect as an accessory.
Besides, Angor's introduction also tempted Marian a lot. As a woman, she pursued inner strength, but that did not stop her from pursuing external beauty.
No matter why Angor gave her a gift, she accepted it with a clear conscience.
Steward Fan, on the other hand, looked at the gift in his hand and hesitated. He did not care about the bow tie's effect. He was more interested in the "register" itself.
As Noah's reincarnation, he already knew about the existence of the register, and he also knew how much damage it would bring to the White Sun Mirror Domain.
He would be lying if he said he was not interested in the "register".
But it didn't seem right to accept Angor's gift just like that.
"Guests attending human banquets will also bring gifts to the host. It's a courtesy," Angor said. "Also, human banquets usually ask servants to give gifts to the host in advance. Now, I have to wait until after the banquet is over. That's not very polite of me.
"If you don't accept it now, Steward Fan, it will be even more disrespectful of me."
Angor was not lying. However, such etiquette was only for "nobles". Angor did not extend it to "humans".
Still, Steward Fan was tempted by Angor's words.
Steward Fan was inclined to accept the gift anyway. Now that he had a way out, he was willing to cooperate.
"Then I'll take it." Steward Fan rubbed the bow tie and confirmed that it was correct. Then, he took off the original bow tie and put the red checkered bow tie on his collar.
On the other side, Marian also put the pendant on her smooth neck.
