Half an hour later.
"I'll leave it to you, Angor." Even through the mask, Angor could tell that the woman behind the mask was smiling proudly.
The woman turned to Sunders. "Mister Phantom, I'll take my leave now."
Sunders nodded noncommittally.
The woman turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Angor looked at the crimson crown in his hand with a bitter expression. After going through so much trouble, the fake crown was finally returned to him.
It all started when Sunders said he was going to take Sunders to see the seller of Journey in Dreamland.
At first, he wondered why the man wanted to see him by name. But when he met the seller, he realized that the seller of Journey in Dreamland was Irisa, the woman who asked him to make the crown.
There were more than one coincidental thing.
After seeing them, Eliza said that in addition to 'Travel in Dreamland', she had another thing that she obtained together with 'Travel in Dreamland'. That thing came from the mysterious pavilion recorded in 'Travel in Dreamland'.
Angor recalled what Irisa told him on the first day of the auction. Surely, the appraiser wanted the item in Irisa's hand that came with Journey in Dreamland.
Of course, the item attracted Sunders' attention. Angor could see the greed in the old man's eyes.
Irisa said that she was willing to give the item to them. However, the condition was that Angor could give the crown a Mystery property.
On the first day, Angor had already rejected the offer.
He didn't want to get involved with the crown, nor did he have the ability to do so.
Therefore, he rejected Irisa's request without hesitation.
But in the end …
Angor sighed and gave Sunders a resentful look. "Professor, why did you agree to her request? It's impossible for me to give the Crimson Crown a mystical characteristic. "
At this moment, they had already returned to their carriages.
Sunders set up a soundproof barrier around the carriage. "It doesn't matter if you can make it or not. I promised her, and I won't make you pay for it."
Angor was a little surprised. "You mean you can do it?"
Sunders looked at Angor as if he was looking at an idiot. "If you can't do it, how can I?"
"Do you know someone who can do it?" Angor's expression changed. "Professor, are you going to …" Break your promise? Or do you want to take advantage of me?
After receiving Sunders' permission, Irisa handed the item she got from Traveler's Journal to Sunders.
It was a wooden lock covered with nightmare energy. Sunders tossed it into Gravity Garden after making sure it was real.
Irisa trusted Sunders' promise, so she gave it to him first. Angor didn't expect Sunders to break his promise.
Sunders chuckled when he saw Angor's surprised look. "I don't mind doing this, but I won't go back on my word."
"What's your solution, professor?" Angor hesitated. "I'll make it clear first. I can't make it!"
"There are only a few people in the southern wizarding region who know about Mystery items. You're the only one who's exposed and easy to find. If you can't make it, I don't think anyone else can either. So, we don't need to force ourselves. Just say 'can't do it'."
Angor didn't know what to say. If you know you can't do it, why did you take it?
Sunders knew what Angor was thinking. He sighed. "Don't you know why I need that item?"
"Why?" Angor didn't know how to react.
Sunders glanced at him and took out a small bottle from his space storage. Inside the bottle was a fat Twisting Protozoa.
When he saw the Protozoa, he seemed to understand something.
"You're going to use the Twisting Protozoa to enter the Mysterious Attic?"
Sunders nodded. "Yes. But I'm not interested in the Mysterious Attic. I don't know if I can take out the Mystery item inside. I just want to explore the Nightmare Realm area where the Mysterious Attic is, and that item is the medium. "
In other words, Sunders was going to open the map.
"Once we enter the Nightmare Realm area through this medium, I won't need it anymore. Then, I'll find a chance to return the item to her. At worst, I'll lose some face. It won't count as breaking my promise. "Sunders explained his plan.
He didn't want to talk about such a shameful method in front of Angor. It would damage his reputation as a teacher. But since Angor was involved in this matter, he still needed to give him an explanation.
Angor now understood that Sunders didn't want to help Irisa at all. He just wanted to borrow the key to open the map and return it later.
He wouldn't lose anything in the process. At most, he would lose some face.
Angor was basically just a bystander in this matter. With this in mind, Angor relaxed. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
"However, you can also try to bestow mystical characteristics on it." Sunders glanced at the crimson crown in Angor's hand. "After all, we don't know whether the Nightmare Realm area is the core area or the outer area. Whether or not I'll be able to come out by then is still a question mark. "
Angor's heart tightened again. Professor, it's easy to get into trouble if you set up a flag!
After Sunders finished speaking, the carriage returned to normal. Without the pressure from the crimson crown, Angor began to calculate the magic crystals he earned from the auction.
First, he paid Sunders back 150,000 magic crystals, plus the commission deducted from the auction. In the end, he earned about 100,000 magic crystals.
Angor rubbed his space bracelet and enjoyed the joy of earning 100,000 magic crystals.
Sunders looked at Angor's silly grin and wanted to say something. But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Silly grin. Nice to be young.
The carriage soon arrived at Blossom Manor without a hitch.
Number One was already waiting at the door. Sunders asked Number One to take care of the carriage and put on his hat. "Go back and get ready. We'll return to Brute Cavern tomorrow."
Angor nodded. He hesitated and asked, "When do you plan to explore the unknown Nightmare Realm area, professor?"
"Irisa gave us enough time. We're not in a hurry."
Since Sunders didn't give a definite answer, Angor didn't ask further. They bid farewell and left.
When walking past the garden, Angor saw Greya staring at the stars in a daze. Toby was also looking at the sky with Greya.
Greya looked a little sad. It was rare for her to act like a little girl.
Angor stood beside her for a while. Greya lowered her head and sighed slightly. "Come here."
Angor walked over and caught Toby who was acting like a spoiled child.
"Lady Greya, what … are you thinking about?" Angor asked hesitantly.
Greya shook her head. "Nothing. I've changed my body, and my mind is a little damaged. It's all the sadness brought by my old body. It sounds like a joke, but it somehow affected me. "
"If you can see it clearly, you won't be affected, right?"
"Not really. I'm just worried that I'll get used to being weak and can't become strong again," Greya spoke in a low voice.
"If you have a strong heart, you'll always be strong."
Greya was surprised. She then chuckled. "You know better than I do. Tell me. Why are you here in the middle of the night? Do you have something to tell me? "
Angor was going to ask Greya why she came to see Sunders, but since Greya didn't want to talk about it, he gave up.
"Lady Greya, my professor said that we're leaving Brute Cavern tomorrow. So, I need to get the jewelry you asked for. What do you want from the illusion? "Angor asked.
"Nothing. The white feather earrings you gave me last time were quite nice." Greya paused and continued, "Especially the inside of that mountain. It feels like the Nightmare Realm. You've been there before, right? "
Angor scratched his head. He didn't know how to answer.
Greya saw that Angor did not want to answer, so she shrugged. "Fine. Maybe it's that old virgin who gave you the order again? He doesn't want you to tell him about the Nightmare Realm? "
"Fine. Just do as you see fit. It's best if you can incorporate some of your knowledge about the Nightmare Realm. Of course, it'll be even better if you can come up with something new. " Greya crossed her legs and took a sip of her tea. "I think your illusions have something special about them. Maybe I can learn something from them."
"Learn something?"
Greya said carelessly, "Like spells. Maybe your illusions will be as good as Allure Abyss."
Angor didn't know what to say. You overestimate me.
"You can incorporate your knowledge and emotions into your illusions. That's something no one else can do. When you become a truth-finder one day, you might be able to help others learn spells. "Greya commented.
"Thank you, Lady Greya."
Greya chuckled. Of course she knew what Greya meant. Even Felicia wanted to ask Angor to create an illusion for her. Unfortunately, Felicia had to stay in Dark Castle.
"You don't have to rush. Give it to me tomorrow. I think I'll go to Brute Cavern to find Sunders in half a month or so. You can give it to me then. "
Greya wanted to go to Brute Cavern to find Sunders?
Angor's curiosity was aroused.
Greya noticed his curiosity, but she didn't plan to explain. Going to the Nightmare Realm was not something Angor could participate in, so there was no need to tell him.
"Go back if you have nothing else to do. Remember to bring Toby with you tomorrow. He's almost done with his training. I'm sure he'll give you a surprise."
