Angor's current knowledge was not enough to unlock Narda's Vision. Therefore, he decided to stay in The Tributary and use his hologram tablet to study alchemy-related substances and reactions.
Thanks to the complete alchemy heritage he had, Angor's study was progressing rapidly. If it were someone else, just spending time and money to collect relevant information was not something that could be done in a day.
Angor was still studying in the underground lab with his hologram tablet.
It was just past noon when he heard Toby pecking on the door.
Angor put away the tablet and opened the door to warn Toby not to disturb him while he was studying. But before he could say anything, he saw a note in Toby's beak.
Puzzled, Angor took the note and read it.
To others, the note looked like a bunch of random characters. But to Angor, there was a distinct nightmare aura attached to it.
Angor reached out his right hand and touched the nightmare aura with two fingers.
The nightmare aura was quickly absorbed into his right hand.
The garbled characters on the note began to move and finally formed a short sentence: "Come and see me."
Angor didn't think there was anyone else who could use such a trick. Maybe Sumesh could control nightmare illusions as well, but he didn't know Sumesh yet, so there was no way Sumesh would talk to him in a tone that didn't even give him his address.
"The professor gave this to you?" He ignited the paper with his finger and ignited it. Sparks flew everywhere.
Toby shook his head, cooing and gesturing with his wings.
"Iron Granny gave it to you?" Angor considered. Perhaps Sunders gave the note to Iron Granny, who then asked Toby to give it to him.
"Alright. Let's go ask Iron Granny first." Angor was sure that Sunders was the one who wrote the note, but he still needed to make sure.
Iron Granny was making tea when they arrived at the Iron Fortress. The tea was Morning Dew after a rain.
While making tea, he called Toby over to drink with him.
Toby hopped onto Angor's shoulder without hesitation and sat down beside the teacup. It looked less restless and more polite than before.
"Thank you for teaching me, Granny," Angor joked. Toby rolled its eyes at him.
Iron Granny shook her head. She had her own rules, but she didn't force Toby to learn them. Toby realized that Iron Granny would give him more tea if he behaved himself a little bit better. That was why he learned from her.
Angor asked Iron Granny about the note, and she told him it was from Sunders.
"Is the professor back already?" Angor muttered to himself.
Iron Granny took a sip of her tea. "He came back this morning. He looks tired. What happened in Sleepless City must have put a lot of pressure on him."
"Is the incident in Sleepless City still going on?"
Iron Granny glanced at Angor. "You should know better than I do."
Angor chuckled.
"I don't think it's going to calm down anytime soon. It's going to get worse." Iron Granny sighed.
"Is there really no way to solve this problem?"
"Solution? Who knows? At least we haven't heard anything from the Brilliance Plane yet. Maybe it'll become a cancer in the wizarding world, and we'll never be able to solve it. "Iron Granny sighed.
The Iron Fortress had moved to The Tributary's entrance, and Angor was about to leave.
"Maybe you can solve it when you grow up," Iron Granny suddenly said.
"But how?" Angor was a little surprised.
"Nothing is impossible in this world." Iron Granny took another sip of her tea and didn't say anything else.
Angor was about to leave with Toby, but Toby refused to go back to Phantom Island and insisted on staying at the Iron Fortress for some tea.
Angor warned Toby not to cause any trouble and left The Tributary alone.
Only the sound of Iron Granny drinking tea and boiling tea on a small stove could be heard in the Iron Fortress. This time, however, Iron Granny wasn't making Morning Dew. She was making rose tea.
Toby took a few steps back in disgust when he smelled the strong rose scent.
"Leave if you want. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later." Iron Granny smiled at Toby.
Toby was stunned. He didn't know what she meant. But he was already planning to leave. He already found the fairy who tricked his music box not long ago.
Toby wanted to talk to the fairy, but he found that the fairy had been kicked out by its master and was now wandering in the woods. Toby had been observing the fairy for several days.
Since Iron Granny already told him to leave, he might as well go. After bidding farewell to Iron Granny, Toby flapped his wings and flew out of The Tributary.
The Iron Fortress fell into a period of silence again. However, the silence did not last long before an uninvited guest arrived.
"Iron Granny." A respectful voice came from inside the house.
The visitor was wearing a long purple robe, purple eyeshadow, and bright red lips. The most eye-catching feature was the brooch in front of her chest, which was unique and eye-catching.
"Greya, long time no see." Iron Granny spoke in a plain tone.
"I haven't seen you since my professor left," Greya said in a low voice. Greya whispered. She wasn't surprised that Iron Granny could see through her. Even Greya's teacher was inferior to Iron Granny in terms of seniority.
"It's been almost two hundred years since Little Candy went looking for Mister Starfall, right?" Iron Granny sighed sadly. "She's too stubborn. She wouldn't stop for an insignificant servant like that." Iron Granny sighed.
Iron Granny didn't show any emotion when talking about Mister Starfall. It was as if she was talking about a complete stranger.
However, Greya knew from some historical records in Candy House that Iron Granny and Mister Starfall used to be best friends. Back then, Greya's professor, "Lady Candy" Alieti, was only a servant of Mister Starfall.
She didn't know when Iron Granny and Mister Starfall became complete strangers.
Greya didn't know how to respond to Iron Granny's words. After all, Greya and Felicia couldn't say anything about their professor.
Greya glanced at the rose-scented teapot on the stove. "Since when did you like tea, Granny?" As far as she knew, Iron Granny never liked tea. She preferred it to Mister Starfall.
"Tastes change, and so do people's hearts."
Greya considered for a moment. "I don't know much about making tea, but I know a few special desserts. Do you want to try them, Granny?"
"Nah. I don't think I can stay here in seclusion if I eat something from a gourmet wizard." Iron Granny chuckled. "You didn't come here just to see an old hag like me, did you?"
"It's fine if you don't want to, Granny." "I'm here for Angor. I have some questions I need answers from him."
Iron Granny narrowed her eyes. "You came at the wrong time. About half an hour ago, Angor left The Tributary."
"He left? Do you know where he went, Granny? "
"He came back to Brute Cavern not long ago. Where do you think he went?" Iron Granny didn't answer her question.
"Mister Phantom is back too?" Greya looked surprised. "Thank you, Granny. I'll be going now. I'll see you again next time."
"It's fine. Don't come again."
Greya didn't say anything and left The Tributary.
Iron Granny, on the other hand, was sipping her tea. She gulped down a cup of rose tea, but for some reason, she couldn't taste anything.
…
When Angor saw Sunders, the man was leaning against a chair, pretending to be asleep.
Just as Iron Granny said, Sunders' face was a little pale, and he looked tired. However, how could a truth-finder wizard be so tired after only a few months?
Sunders' current condition reminded Angor of when he was in Floating Mech City.
"Professor," Angor whispered.
Sunders didn't open his eyes. "I have something to tell you. Don't get involved with what happened in Sleepless City for now. I've already removed all traces of your troubles. I don't think anyone will come after you.
But don't let your guard down. Prophets like Anglo might still be worried about you. "
Angor was surprised. Not long ago, when he was chatting with Dave at Bartterfly Pub, Dave also mentioned Sleepless City. Dave mentioned a lot of things, but he didn't mention anything about Angor.
Angor was puzzled at first, but now he knew that Sunders was behind it.
"What's going on in Sleepless City, sir? Did you get rid of the remaining golden threads? "Angor asked curiously.
Sunders was still resting. "It's not good. The darkness is still expanding. It's filled with interlayer spaces. No one can get out of there alive. If this continues, the entire Evernight Kingdom will be destroyed.
"As for the golden threads, I can deal with them. But they're mutating too fast. Sometimes I can't handle it.
"That puppy … seems to have left Sleepless City."
"Where did it go?"
"I don't know. Maybe it went back to the Nightmare Realm. I can't sense its presence anymore. " Sunders sounded a little disappointed. He was planning to capture the puppy, but it seemed that he couldn't do it now.
"I heard from Fox that Yorkshire brought Spotty to the wizarding world. I think Spotty's master found it and brought it back to the Nightmare Realm." Angor also felt a little disappointed. "If Spotty is a Mystery item, it must be a high-level one. Too bad it didn't want to leave with me."
"By the way, did you finish studying the crystal he gave you?"
