"That's a space storage, right?" Greya asked.
Angor nodded. "That's Snowy Feather. It's used to store food and clothes for Toby."
Both Greya and Felicia were speechless at Angor's frankness. Greya did love Toby a lot, but not to this extent. She actually gave a space storage to Toby to use? She even made it in the shape of a feather, which was both beautiful and perfectly fitting.
"That's so …" Even Felicia couldn't help but exclaim. Even some official Magi couldn't afford to use a space storage, yet a bird had a custom-made space storage?
Angor knew what Felicia was trying to say, but he didn't think it was too much. If it weren't for the food stored in Toby's space, Angor wouldn't have survived until the end of the plane passageway. In a way, Angor didn't mind.
Using the "Snowy Feather" as an excuse, Greya began to ask about Toby's experiences in the past year.
At first, Angor would only answer when Greya took the initiative to ask. But as he spoke, he began to reminisce about the good times and began to talk. He began to talk about Toby's experiences in the past year.
Greya didn't interrupt him. She listened to him with a gentle smile while images appeared in her mind.
Angor only talked about trivial things. He didn't mention anything that involved other people. Even so, Greya still enjoyed listening to such stories.
The only thing that happened to Toby was probably the turning point of his strength: the comprehension of the sequence of gravity.
Angor hesitated for a moment. There were many things he didn't know if he should tell Greya or not. For example, Phantom Island and the situation back then. Would it cause trouble if he told Greya about it? In the end, Angor decided not to tell Greya anything.
When the Gravity Garden appeared, Toby comprehended the sequence of gravity within it.
Greya didn't ask too much about Angor's story. It was enough that Toby benefited the most in the end.
After skipping the sequence of gravity, Angor began to talk about Toby's life in Brute Cavern. His speech lasted for more than an hour.
He only talked about the happy things and avoided talking about the bad things he did. He didn't want Greya to think that he was trying to impress her by telling her such trivial things.
But when he got to the Twilight Auction, he paused.
He would never tell anyone about the Nightmare Realm. However, he was considering whether to tell her about the eyeless man.
He had a lot to think about, but he still decided to tell the truth.
However, he did not express his thoughts with words. Instead, he waved his hand and recreated the scene of the auction for the eyeless man.
Both Greya and Felicia, who were mixing drinks, stopped and looked at Angor.
"Where is this? It looks like an auction. "Greya looked at the lively scene in the illusion.
"Twilight Well's auction, I guess." Felicia came to them with two glasses of wine. She handed one to Greya and the other to Angor. "It's just plain wine," she explained.
Angor thanked him and took a sip of the wine. The liquor was slightly cool. It didn't taste too strong. Instead, it had a smooth texture like a fine gauze. It wasn't an explosive taste. Instead, it felt like a clear stream flowing into one's heart and lingering in one's mind.
Angor felt much more refreshed after drinking the liquor. Even the mana he needed to create the illusion became more active.
Felicia sat down next to Greya and pointed at the woman on the stage. "I've seen her before. She's Twilight from Twilight Well, a very narrow-minded woman. "
Angor nodded. "Yes, it's the Twilight Auction."
Greya gave Angor a puzzled look. She didn't understand why Angor did that.
Angor gestured for Greya to keep watching. In the illusion, an iron cage covered with black cloth was pushed to the stage.
"So this is an auction? Is this a live auction item?" Greya wondered what Angor was trying to do with the illusion.
In the illusion, the guards of Twilight Well lifted the black cloth. As the black cloth fell, a tall man with no eyes wearing a waiter uniform and a green bow tie appeared in the middle of the iron cage.
When Greya saw who was inside the cage, she crushed the glass in her hand into powder. Her body trembled, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Felicia also saw the man in the cage. She thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Is this … Big Eye Houston?"
"Big Eye" Huston? This was the first time Angor heard the name of the eyeless man. But why did the man's name sound so unreal?
"That's him," Greya said in a cold voice without showing any emotion.
In the illusion, Twilight began to introduce the new slave. "If you read the latest issue of Expedition into Endless Planes, Greya got into a fight with Granny Shikaku in Haunt Plane and fell into the Nightmare Realm. So far, Greya is dead, and her Barbie's Restaurant fell apart. All her employees are Gourmet Wizards. Apart from those who fled back to Candy House, the rest of them all went to different places. This is a former waiter of Barbie's Restaurant. A wizard accidentally caught him … "
Angor not only created the illusion, but he also recreated the exact scene and voice.
"… So, let's start the bidding. The starting price is 10,000 crystals, and each increment must be at least 5,000 crystals!" Twilight announced excitedly.
The illusion ended there.
What happened next involved Toby's recklessness and how he risked his own life to save Greya. Of course, Angor would not show it. Not only did it involve the Nightmare Domain, but it would also bring suspicion to his face.
"Who bought Houston in the end?" Greya tried her best to hold back her anger and forced the words out of her mouth.
"'Fiery Lotus' Lydia."
Angor didn't mention the price or the agreement between him and Lydia.
"Lydia!" Greya said, "Alright, I'll remember it!"
Greya didn't show too much emotion in front of Angor. She only thanked Angor in a serious manner. Whether it was taking care of Toby or passing on the news of Houston's auction to her, he deserved her gratitude.
Greya looked a little weak, perhaps because she was too angry to speak. "My soul needs to rest. If you need me, you can ask Felicia to wake me up."
"Toby is now in Lady Isabelle's Soul Realm. Don't worry."
With that, Greya's eyes slowly lost their focus. In the next second, she turned back into the innocent and naive girl Greya.
This almost seamless transformation combined with Greya's words allowed Angor to guess that Greya might have two souls in one body. He didn't know if Greya was trying to take over Greya's body or split it.
Since Greya was asleep, Angor didn't want to spend too much time with Felicia. Besides, he still felt a little guilty, so he decided to leave.
When he stood up, Felicia suddenly said, "That day …"
Angor's back stiffened. He didn't want Felicia to bring up what happened that day.
"How did you get rid of the alchemy omen that day?" Felicia curled her lips.
Angor relaxed a little when he heard the question. But on second thought, he realized that this question was related to his soul as well.
He didn't want to answer this question. But he had to answer a wizard's question.
"It's because my soul is very —"
Before Angor could finish, Felicia raised a hand to stop him. "Alright, I won't pry into your secret anymore. You can go now. "
He didn't know why Felicia suddenly interrupted him when she was about to ask a question.
But since Felicia didn't want to ask more questions, he sighed in relief. Angor bowed to Felicia and went to his bedroom on the second floor.
Felicia heaved a long sigh when she saw that Angor was gone.
Isabelle once warned them to "stay away, don't listen, and don't ask". This was the only way to escape the attention of that great being.
This was why Felicia didn't ask more questions about Angor's soul. She had to stop Angor from talking about his soul because she was too scared to do so. Every time she thought about the woman who almost destroyed her mind with a single glance, she couldn't help but shudder in fear.
…
Time passed in a flash.
The next morning, Angor was meditating when someone suddenly whispered into his ear. "Come to the Soul Society, it's time for me to fulfill my promise." Suddenly, a soft voice sounded beside his ear.
It took Angor a moment to realize that it was Isabelle who spoke to him.
He didn't dare to waste time thinking about the wizard who almost led a new era. He quickly adjusted his appearance and followed the mute servant to Soul Realm, which was located at B2 of Dark Castle.
The mute servant waited outside the gate while Angor went inside alone.
As soon as he stepped inside, he felt a chilling wind blowing at him. Everything around him was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Strangely, he couldn't even release his spirit feelers.
After walking for half a day in the dark, he began to wonder what Isabelle was doing. Didn't she say she was going to fulfill her promise? Why was he in such a dark place?
Also, he felt like he was walking in the void. There were no edges to his left, right, top, or bottom.
Apart from that, he also felt tired easily. Every time he walked, he wanted to take a rest. It was as if someone was trying to hypnotize him.
But every time he tried to take a rest, he couldn't help but feel his body falling down to an unknown place.
This feeling of weightlessness made him feel terrible. He also had a feeling that he would be doomed if he fell for real.
With this in mind, he had no choice but to keep trying to hypnotize himself. Instead, he kept moving forward. Only by moving forward could his steps be considered to be moving upwards.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
