Angor slowly looked up when he heard Felicia's voice.
Shadow was secretly gesturing for Angor to give in. Even if he didn't like Felicia, he shouldn't reject her. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire if a wizard got angry.
Felicia noticed Shadow's reaction, but she only humphed and ignored him. Her eyes were still fixed on Angor. She didn't care about the silver weapon in Angor's hand anymore. She didn't need to lower herself to fight for a mid-tier alchemy weapon.
"Is Lady Greya here too, Lady Felicia?" Angor looked at Felicia for a moment before speaking again.
Felicia didn't know what to say.
On the other side, An Ying was also stunned. He waited for so long, and Angor suddenly asked something irrelevant. Well, it wasn't completely irrelevant. But why would he ask about "Warrior Barbie" Greya at a time like this?
Felicia glanced at Angor from the corner of her eyes. She knew more than Shadow did. News of Greya's rescue hadn't spread yet, and Greya's soul was now trapped in another body. She was far weaker than before. If any of her old enemies or opportunists learned about her current situation, they might come to attack her. Besides, Greya's soul was injured, and she needed a Soul Orb to heal, which was why they decided to stay in Dark Castle.
But they had only been in Dark Castle for less than a month. Why would this man ask about Greya?
Did he already know about Greya's whereabouts? Or did he come to Dark Castle for Greya?
The more she thought about it, the gloomier she became. If this bastard's target was Greya, Angor had no choice but to kill him.
"Why do you say that?" Felicia suppressed her murderous intent and glared at Angor.
"She told me," Angor answered in a soft voice.
Using the last syllable, Angor used the remaining mana in his body to create a Melodious Illusion. The illusion of a little girl appeared next to him. She had a cute, ugly face, curly hair, and innocent eyes.
It was Flowey, the girl he met in the well in the graveyard.
"My target is the Soul Orb. I saw a Soul Orb in her hand. She told me that a big sister named Greya gave her the orb, "said Angor.
Felicia glanced at the image of the little girl. She knew the girl's soul because Greya gave her a Soul Orb out of pity when she left Dark Castle a few days ago.
Of course, Greya was not a 'Warrior Barbie'. She was the girl's soul. Greya now had two souls. Most of the time, the 'Warrior Barbie' Greya was sleeping, while the 'Warrior Barbie' Greya 'Soul controlled her body.
"You're after the Soul Orbs?" Felicia snorted. "Then why are you asking me about Greya?"
"Do you know Toby, Lady Felicia?"
Felicia was stunned. Toby?! Her expression was slightly strange, and the image of a noisy seabird flashed through her mind. After a long while, she spat out, "Wine, thief!"
"Thief?" Angor hesitated. He then thought about the Butterfly Tavern and Toby's naughty personality. It seemed that he really did steal wine.
"Why are you asking about the thief? Do you know him? " Felicia felt sad whenever she thought about Toby. The bird was Greya's most precious treasure. She couldn't afford to offend it. She was so happy when she didn't see Toby when she went to pick up Greya. But now, someone suddenly mentioned Toby. She had a bad feeling about this.
Angor put Toby inside his bracelet before he started crafting the weapon to avoid being dragged into the omen. Toby was currently sleeping inside the bracelet. His original plan was to show Toby to Felicia to prove his identity, but when he saw Felicia's angry expression when she mentioned Toby, he suddenly didn't know whether he should show Toby or not.
He considered for a moment and decided to do so.
The current situation was already like an arrow on a bowstring. Felicia was obviously suspicious and hostile toward him. He wanted to prove his identity, and Toby was the best evidence.
Angor rubbed his hand, and a small bird wearing pajamas appeared in his hand.
"Toby. It's here."
Did my premonition come true?! Felicia looked at the familiar bird in his hand and took several steps back. "Why is that bird on you?!" She gritted her teeth in anger.
Before Angor could explain, a pretty girl suddenly appeared on the other side of the prison. She rushed to Angor's side with tears in her eyes. "My dear Toby! I never thought I'd see you again! "
The girl rushed to Angor's side, leaving a trail of dust behind her.
She carefully looked at Toby in Angor's hand.
"Toby, my little darling." The young girl looked at Toby with a pitiful expression. She reached out her soft, white hand and gently stroked Toby's feathers.
A moment later, she looked up at Angor with a serious expression. "Why is Toby sleeping, Angor?"
"You know him, Greya?" From the way Felicia looked at Greya and the way she spoke, it was clear that the woman knew Angor.
Greya nodded. "I asked him to take care of Toby when I left the wizarding world." She then looked at Angor again, waiting for him to explain.
Angor looked at the girl in front of him in confusion. She did not look like the "meaty demon king" at all.
But judging from her tone and expression, it seemed that she was really Greya.
If she was the real Greya, Angor would feel a little awkward being questioned by his "master".
"Lady Greya, I came to Dark Castle for Toby. I think there's something wrong with his soul. I heard from someone who studied souls that he needs a Soul Orb to save him. Only Dark Castle has Soul Orbs, that's why I'm here. "
Angor then explained how Toby fell into a coma, as well as his journey to Dark Castle.
Shadow, on the other hand, was still staring at Angor in a daze. Not only did Angor know Greya, but they also seemed to be quite close. Greya even gave Angor her favorite pet to him.
In other words, Toby wasn't Angor's, but "Warrior Barbie" Greya's.
This was really awkward. He played a very important role in Toby's coma. Even though he knew he wasn't the cause of Toby's coma, Angor believed that he was the real culprit.
Shadow gave Angor a sad look, hoping that Angor would forgive him and stop talking about him. However, if he wanted to explain why Toby fainted, he would have to use Shadow as an excuse, so he had to reconstruct what happened to Toby.
"But Toby didn't suffer any injuries, so Diablo must be telling the truth. He didn't attack Toby." Angor tried to be objective and helped Shadow out. "I thought Toby was trying to level up, which is why he fell into a coma. Later, I went to Soul Genesis Garden and met a grand priest of Hippocrotee. He told me that Toby's soul was being consumed by anger … "
When he was done, Greya took Toby from him.
"I see." Greya's expression turned serious. "I'll take care of him. Thank you for taking care of Toby. You even came to Dark Castle for Toby."
Greya looked at Angor with admiration. "You're growing fast. I'm glad that Toby grew up with you. Stay here for a few days. I want to hear how Toby has changed over the past year. "
"Is Toby okay?" Angor nodded. He was still worried. Can I use a Soul Orb to save him? "
Greya considered for a moment. "The grand priest you met was right. There are several powerful emotions inside Toby's body."
"Actually, when I created it, I already knew that there was a problem with its soul. However, its strength has always been very low, and it has never touched this level." Greya suddenly teased him. "I didn't think Toby would become so strong after being with you for such a short period of time. Did you learn the sequence of gravity? I see. It's better to set him free than to imprison him. "
"Don't worry. Toby will recover."
Greya then turned to Felicia. "I'll go talk to Isabelle later. Don't trouble Angor. You can't afford to offend his teacher."
With that, Greya took Toby and left the blood prison.
After Greya left, Felicia gave Angor a meaningful look. "Since Greya said I can't afford to offend your teacher, I'd like to know who he is tonight. Also, how did you manage to survive that omen? I'll wait for you in the hall on the first floor. "
She paused for a moment. "I'll be waiting."
After saying that, Felicia left the blood prison with graceful steps.
Angor let out a long sigh of relief after the two big shots left. He remembered a poem that Master Jon had once taught him, "Mountains and rivers are full of doubts, but there is a glimmer of hope in the dark willows and flowers." He had thought that things would be very complicated, but he did not expect that many things would be solved just by refining a weapon. The only pity was that he once had the chance to see the true face of the mysterious item, but unfortunately, it was all for naught in the end.
Still, he had to admit that he had no other choice in front of a wizard. Besides, the woman suspected to be Isabelle was right.
Still, it wasn't like Angor didn't gain anything. At least he was very close to becoming a "Mystery Alchemist". He had manipulated the power of Mystery and guided the Spirit of Mystery, so he had his own understanding of Mystery.
Angor buried his regret and looked at Shadow, who was still lying on the ground. "So Lady Greya is a wise woman."
Shadow pointed at Angor for a long while before he spoke again, "I really want to know who you are more and more."
