When he was about to leave, he saw Shadow, who was covered in filth and filth, entering the house with a gloomy face.
Shadow looked up and saw Angor standing by the stairs.
"You really don't want to join my collection?" Shadow looked at Angor's blond hair and blue eyes with fascination. "Are you sure you don't want to join my collection? I promise you'll be the best in my collection. "
"You came back just in time. I have something to ask you." Angor ignored Shadow's nonsense and took Toby out of his chest pocket. "What did you do to Toby after I lost consciousness that day? Why didn't he wake up? "
Toby was still unconscious. It had been five days since the day he was injured.
If Toby's body wasn't in good condition, Angor would have lost his mind already.
Shadow looked at the bird in Angor's hand with a puzzled look. "Huh? You're right. I didn't do anything. I was almost killed by the contract, so I didn't have time to care about it. "
Shadow was a cunning man, but he didn't lie about this.
Angor understood this, but he didn't trust Shadow. Even if they had signed a contract, it didn't say anything about not lying to each other.
Since Shadow didn't want to admit it, Angor had no other choice. They couldn't hurt each other. Even if they could, Angor's body wouldn't allow it.
Angor stroked Toby's soft feathers. Toby's body was stable, and its spirit and soul were still stable. It was just sleeping.
"What happened after I lost consciousness that day?"
"I don't know. My heart was about to explode, and this damn bird kept attacking me." Shadow paused and said, "There's one thing I'm curious about."
"What is it?"
"What species is this Demon Bird of yours? Is it a long-range one or a melee one? When I was in the illusion, it could only rely on its speed and explosive power to fight me. I didn't expect it to learn long-range attacks. And it's pretty strong too. " Shadow asked curiously. He had seen a lot of monsters in Floating Mech City, but he had never seen such a small monster that could unleash such a powerful burst of power and could use both melee and long-range attacks.
"Long-range attack?" "Tell me more about it. How did it do that?" Angor narrowed his eyes.
Shadow also realized something. "Could it be that the bird couldn't use long-range attacks before?"
Angor nodded.
Toby, as a Demon Bird, had always been weak. In the past, it could only rely on its speed and agility in battle. If it wore armor, even an ordinary person could defeat Toby. Later on, Toby comprehended the sequence of gravity, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds. Not only did its speed increase by a few times, but it also relied on the characteristics of gravity to increase its attack power to the point where it could defeat ordinary level-three cantrips.
However, Toby's attacks were still very simple. There were only three axes, speed, agility, and explosiveness.
Now that Shadow mentioned that Toby could attack from a distance, Angor assumed that this was why Toby was sleeping.
"He suddenly knows how to use ranged attacks, and he's still unconscious. Could it be that he's evolved?" There was a hint of jealousy in Shadow's eyes. "You must have advanced. At that time, that damned bird thought you were dead and even shed tears of blood. It's easy to unleash your potential after experiencing great sorrow and joy. "
The more Shadow spoke, the angrier he felt. He had done everything he could to reach the final step, but Mask just had to show up and kill him.
In a head-on battle, he lost to Mask, who was one level lower than him, and was forced to sign an equal contract with Mask.
It was humiliating enough. He tried so hard to open the door with his Krakoks and kill Mask. But Mask didn't die. Instead, Shadow almost lost his life and had to run to Mask's side to heal him.
That would have been fine, but he had been injured all over by this damned bird. In the end, it had fallen asleep, and most importantly, it had advanced while it was sleeping!
What the hell was going on?!
He felt like the whole world was against him every time he met Mask. Shadow felt like crying.
Shadow's analysis about Toby was also exactly what Angor wanted. If Toby really evolved, it was normal for him to sleep for a long time.
From Shadow, Angor learned about Toby's long-range attacks, which relied on a thick, gray aura. Shadow didn't know what it was, but Angor knew that it was the sequence of gravity.
"So Toby really did break through." With this thought in mind, Angor's gloomy expression finally brightened up. Angor was still in a good mood when facing Shadow's jealousy. "I'll be going now. Thanks for the map."
With that, he carefully put Toby into his arms and headed for the door.
"Wait a moment." At this time, Shadow suddenly called out to him.
"Are you going to Silent Hill and teleport to Floating Mech City?" Shadow asked.
Angor nodded. He already told Shadow where he was going the other day, so he didn't need to hide it now.
"You'll need at least a month to reach Silent Hill from Water Grasse. Also, Silent Hill is in a special location. You might not be able to get in, "Shadow suddenly said.
"What do you mean?"
"I have a flying vehicle that can take you there. But I need you to do something for me. "
Angor turned away without hesitation. "Thanks, but I'm not interested." He really didn't want to work with An Ying anymore. Even if there was a contract restriction, who knew if this guy would set a new trap, just like the last time.
"Don't go! I'm serious about working with you this time. If I try to harm you, the contract will stop me from doing so. " Shadow also remembered how he almost killed Angor last time. He quickly added, "That was an accident. I didn't do it on purpose. The contract can't say that the Krakoks' daily activities are wrong.
"Now that I've learned my lesson, I'll be punished by the contract as soon as I think about harming you. I won't do it again!"
Angor ignored Shadow's explanation and headed down the mountain.
When An Ying saw this, he started to panic.
He had spent a total of five years on this opportunity. To achieve this goal, he went to these meaningless supernatural gatherings every time just to cultivate a group of puppets.
Finally, he had enough puppets. However, when he went to the Corpse Cave to open the lost array, he found that the quality of the puppets was not enough.
One of the puppets became a supernatural, but it didn't complete its model yet. It was still in an awkward stage where it was neither a mortal nor an apprentice.
At this stage, it couldn't release mana outside its body. To open the magic array that had been lost for a thousand years, it had to at least be able to release mana.
Of course, Shadow couldn't wait to find one more person. This was his chance to become a wizard!
He wouldn't mind if it was some other time. However, his three Krakoks told him that the Grand Priest of the Krakoks had decided to complete the ritual this month.
The complete ritual of the Krakoks was the key to whether or not he could sneak into the Otherworld.
The ritual would begin in a few days, and he didn't have time to find more apprentices. Before that, he had to find one more person.
He hurried back to the forest watcher's cabin to invite Angor to join him, but Angor didn't want to follow his logic.
"How about I hire you? I'll pay you magic crystals!" Shadow didn't think he was going to convince Angor.
"My professor is visiting Silent Hill right now. Give me one week. I'll go back to Floating Mech City with my professor in half a month, and I'll ask him to bring you with me when I'm done. With my professor's protection, you won't have to take the risk to inject a bloodline, and you'll save a lot of money! "
Half a month? So I'll arrive at Floating Mech City before the Month of Frost?
Angor was a little tempted by Shadow's promise. The purification garden would open next year during the Month of Resuscitation. He already planned to give up on the garden. But if he could reach Floating Mech City before the Month of Frost, he would be able to make it in time.
Was this a silver lining?
Angor stopped. "Are you sure your professor is willing to take me with him?"
Shadow's eyes lit up. "I'm sure! If it's you, he'll definitely agree. "
Angor didn't notice that something was wrong with Shadow's words. "What do you need me to do?" Angor considered for a moment before asking, "What do you need from me?"
"It's simple. You just need to help me set up an array —"
…
Angor returned to Water Grasse after arranging a meeting with Shadow.
It had been almost a week since he left. The first thing he saw when he returned to his villa was Dodoro, whose eyes were filled with tears.
"Mister, you're finally back. Dodoro didn't want to cooperate the second day after you left. He's been staying in his room." Trusan came to him with a worried look. "He didn't really listen to my lectures these days. He's been waiting for you to come back."
Angor sighed when he saw Dodoro's pitiful look.
"I'll probably leave in half a month. Granny Trusan, you might need to change your teaching schedule a little. Can you teach Dodoro as soon as possible? At least he can understand my words."
Trusan was surprised. "Really? Do you have to leave now? "
Angor nodded. This was exactly why he came back. If Shadow meant what he said, Angor would leave in half a month. He planned to put Dodoro into his bracelet and take him away.
Therefore, there was only half a month left for Trusan to teach.
"Alright. I'll do my best." Trusan nodded.
"Thank you." Angor gave Dodoro a few words of encouragement and returned to his room.
