Neat short red hair, a strange smiling mask, and a suave leather windbreaker.
Irisa from Storm Canyon.
Angor gave her the fake "Crimson Crown" not long ago. He didn't expect to see her in the Sky Auction House's appraisal room today.
Irisa was walking out of an appraisal room that catered to wizards, followed by an old man in a silver robe.
"Mister Ghost, are you sure you don't want to put it in the auction as well? I guarantee that as long as you put it up for auction, it will definitely become the highlight of this auction. " The old man tried his best to persuade Angor. His robe was decorated with cog-shaped runes, which made it look like the gears on his robe were moving.
"Don't follow me. I said that I'm not selling." Eliza interrupted the old man.
"But —"
"No buts. They're not a set, and their prices aren't linked. Stop following me!" Irisa turned around and yelled at the old man. The old man, who was about to say something else, finally shut his mouth and went back to the appraisal room.
Their conversation was not concealed by magic, so everyone around them heard it. Judging from the conversation, the old man probably wanted Irisa to sell something to him, but Irisa didn't want to do it.
As for what the item was that the old man in the appraisal room said it would be the highlight of the auction, Angor didn't want to find out. Angor even turned around as soon as he saw Irisa.
He didn't want to get involved with Irisa again.
Not to mention how embarrassing it was for him to make the "Crimson Crown" for someone else, the treasure itself was too important. Even Sunders told him not to get involved. Therefore, his first reaction when he saw Irisa was to run away.
However, Angor couldn't move faster than Eliza's glance.
"Hey, isn't that Angor?"
Before Angor could react, Irisa appeared beside him. "Lady — Lady Irisa."
"I've been looking for you these days. I didn't expect to see you here." Irisa's voice came from behind the mask. "I went to the Flowery Manor, and Sunders said you've been training in isolation. I assume you're doing it for the auction, right?"
Angor nodded. "I made something that's not worth mentioning. I want to sell it for some magic crystals."
Irisa didn't want to know what Angor was making. "I have something I need to talk to you about. Let's go somewhere else."
Angor quickly shook his head. "Professor told me to return to the manor before nightfall. It's already dark outside. Sir, if you have something to say, why don't we talk here? "
Irisa frowned. She didn't know whether Angor was telling the truth or not. But since Angor already mentioned Sunders' name, she couldn't just force him. He could only nod and say, "Alright, listen …"
Irisa's lips moved slightly, and several words were imprinted in Angor's mind.
Angor's expression grew more and more strange as he listened to Irisa's explanation. In the end, he shook his head and said, "No way. I can't do it. Please find someone else, Lady Irisa."
"But I heard you've already reached that level, haven't you?"
"That was an accident, Lady Irisa. It's all thanks to Dark Castle's thousands of years of accumulation, which allowed me to reach that level. I won't do it again. "Angor spoke in a serious tone," Mystery isn't child's play. "
Irisa didn't quite understand. She sighed. "Fine. I guess we'll have to keep baiting Goman King."
Angor pretended he was deaf and didn't want to hear anything.
Since Angor already said he couldn't do it, Irisa didn't force him and let him go.
She sighed again as she watched Angor's shadow disappear into the darkness. She already thought of a way to fool Goman King, but it seemed that Angor's plan wouldn't work.
But she couldn't do anything about it. In all of Floating Mech City, Angor was the only one who had ever reached that level.
"Brother …" Eliza sighed, shook her head, and disappeared into the night.
On his way back, Angor was glad that he didn't get too involved with the "treasure". As for Irisa's request, Angor didn't even think about it. It was impossible for him to do it right now.
After all, Irisa was basically asking him to create a new Mystery item.
But if a Mystery item could be created that easily, it wouldn't deserve to be called "Mystery" at all.
It was already late at night when Angor returned to Blossom Manor. Angor was about to find Greya and ask her about the illusion she wanted, but he was too tired to do so. As soon as he returned to his room, he was sealed on his bed and couldn't wake up. Time passed quickly, and it was the afternoon of the next day.
Angor was still in a daze when he woke up.
If Sunders didn't tell him that the auction was about to begin, he would have stayed in bed for a long time.
He quickly cleaned himself up, changed into a tight-fitting gentleman's suit, and left the house.
A tall horse and a black carriage had already been prepared at the entrance of the Sky Auction House. They were only waiting for the two people to get on the carriage.
"Why are we taking a carriage?" Angor asked when he saw Sunders sitting inside the carriage with his eyes closed.
Regardless of whether it was walking or flying, wouldn't it be faster than a carriage?
Sunders glanced at him, which contained a lot of complicated emotions.
Angor was the only one who understood. "It's a ritual."
After all, this was an auction event. As a self-proclaimed noble sorcerer, he had to have a sense of ceremony when participating in any social event. Or rather, he had to go through the motions. To put it bluntly, he had to go through the motions to show off.
And so, Angor accompanied Sunders in acting tough in silence.
He thought they would feel awkward when they arrived at the auction house since so many people would be watching them. But he soon realized that he was wrong.
Sunders was only trying to maintain his "noble" image. There were many wizards who didn't care about their image at all.
There were more and more strange characters among wizards.
Angor saw a wizard holding an orange tree who insisted on entering the auction house. The tree was two meters wide and ten meters tall, and it was full of fruits.
In the end, the Magus standing guard at the door did not stop him after verifying his information.
There were also a lot of people coming to the auction by carriage. Sunders' carriage was the most low-key one among all the carriages.
There was also a carriage pulled by an eagle, which looked much cooler than Angor's carriage.
Angor thought the ceremony was a bit awkward, but now he realized that Sunders was indeed a low-key person.
The auction began amidst the ups and downs of this mysterious mood.
Just like last time at Twilight Auction, someone of Sunders' status would surely have a VIP box.
This time, Angor and Sunders were in the VIP box on the third floor. Box number was 012. It was one of the last boxes, but it had the best view of the auction stage on the first floor.
A series of auction items went by quickly as the lights went off and the auctioneer introduced them.
The first few auction items were all items such as potions. Although the prices were also very expensive, there was almost nothing to say about them. The price was purely based on the number of items that were sold.
The only thing worth mentioning was that the auctioneer was a familiar face.
It was a middle-aged woman wearing a tight silver uniform. Her hair was tied up high, and she had a serious expression on her face.
"Professor, why is she here?" Angor looked at the figure on the stage curiously.
"She's from Floating Mech City. It's not surprising that she's here." Sunders grinned. "Maybe she couldn't get what she wanted in Brute Cavern, so she had to return to Floating Mech City."
"Couldn't get what she wanted?" Angor had no idea what Sunders was talking about.
"Do you think the daughter of the Beast King would come to Brute Cavern without a purpose? Just to stay in a small Sky Tower and become a district manager? " Sunders didn't need to tell Angor about this. However, Angor was improving too fast. It wouldn't take long for Angor to enter the core circle of Brute Cavern.
"The daughter of the Beast King?" Angor muttered. "You mean Lady Melantha is the daughter of the Beast King?"
Sunders nodded. "Correct."
The auctioneer on the stage was Melantha. She used to be the district manager of Sky Tower in Brute Cavern. Angor used to have a good impression of her. However, after the incident with Parasite Queen, his impression of Melantha and Baroque changed drastically.
Angor recalled Lawson's face and looked at Melantha's face.
Angor never thought that they were father and daughter. Apart from their cold expressions, they didn't look like father and daughter at all. Even the coldness in their expressions were different. Lawson's was pure coldness, while Melantha's was old-fashioned and serious.
"Melantha returned to Floating Mech City because of that path. Unfortunately, Lawson can't do much to help, "Sunders commented.
"That path?" Angor was puzzled. "You mean the path of truth, sir?"
"Correct. She thinks too much and can't go on it. "Sunders paused." Just like Flora. "
Flora didn't go on the path of truth because she thought too much? But what did he mean by thinking too much?
Sunders chuckled. "You're thinking too much now."
Angor stopped talking about this topic when he saw his Butterfly Necklace being placed on the stage.
