On the other hand, Jebra was also pondering.
Before this, Sliv had told him about the results of the Mysterious Dimension. He only told Jebra to keep an eye on Angor.
Maybe Angor was the one who stole the Mystery item from the island.
Jebra noticed that Sliv's tone sounded a little strange. It seemed that even Sliv didn't believe Angor was capable of such a feat.
But why would Sliv remind him of that?
Jebra quickly understood what Sliv was trying to say, especially when Sliv emphasized that this was an order from God of Sea Flunza. Clearly, Angor's teacher was using this mission to help him avoid the chaos in Song of the Deep for a while.
Jebra didn't want to reject his teacher's kindness, so he quickly asked Bai to invite Angor over.
Jebra didn't find anything wrong with Angor's behavior. Of course, it was also possible that Jebra didn't think Angor was the one who stole the treasure, so he didn't notice anything fishy.
Since both Sliv and Jebra were convinced of this fact, Jebra didn't try to probe further. Instead, he led Angor to the inner hall.
Jebra only invited Angor here as a formality. His real goal was to …
"Make friends with me?" Angor looked at Jebra, who was calmly sipping his wine, in surprise.
"Yes. This is my teacher's task. According to my analysis, you're going to leave this place soon, so I don't think I have time to use all kinds of methods to make friends with you, so I might as well be honest with you. "Jebra took out a light-blue disposable pouch and handed it to Angor.
"After my analysis, I believe that if I want to spend a long time in front of you to leave a good impression, I will need to spend magical crystals and materials. Since I don't have time to do that, I'll just give you all of them. "
Angor didn't know what to say.
So Jebra came here just to give him money?
However, shouldn't any kind of friendship be refined with time? To think that he could even equate them into a total amount, and then he had a clear conscience that this was a convenient method. What kind of mysterious confidence did he have?
Could it be that this was the trend of the Magus World?
Jebra quickly added, "I also calculated the cost of time, but it's hard to determine, so I chose a median value."
Jebra pointed at the space capsule. "Don't you want to take a look?"
Angor gently pushed her away. "I appreciate your honesty. However, I don't think I have the value of a good relationship. Moreover, if you think that building a good relationship is just a gift, then aren't you treating friendship too cheaply … "
"Deepsong Bekin," Jebra interrupted.
"Ah?"
"I said there are 15 Deepsong Shell Metals inside," Jebra said.
His hand paused, and his Adam's apple moved.
Deepsong Shell Metal was an extremely rare mid-tier water alchemy material that almost never appeared on the market. Not only could it be used as an alchemy neutralization material, it was even a magic material in itself. It could only be produced by Song of the Deep. Usually, alchemists who wanted to get their hands on Deepsong Shell Metal would have to trade with Song of the Deep directly.
"There are also 13 types of shell shell materials produced by Song of the Deep, as well as some common magic materials used by sea wizards …"
Angor was about to push the capsule toward Jebra when he heard Jebra's words, but he quickly pulled his hand back.
"These materials are so precious. They're shining like gold, just like friendship," Angor praised sincerely.
He didn't really care if Jebra was going to give him a magic crystal or something. However, Jebra gave him alchemy materials that couldn't be found anywhere else, which made Angor a little curious.
Now that he thought about it, he didn't need to do anything to make a friend.
White Bear, the shameless prankster, also called him a friend in front of the Sky Tower, and Angor accepted him as a friend.
Besides, Jebra was one of the most talented wizards in the wizarding world, so it wasn't a bad idea to befriend him. Perhaps … Keely would be angry, but friendship was a matter of personal friendship, and there was no overlap between them.
He put away the Deepsea Gobek Metal and smiled at Jebra. "Alright, let's go."
"I'll take it. If you ever need anything related to alchemy or alchemy, feel free to come to me. I'll do my best to help you. "Angor knew that Jebra was trying to get close to Angor because he wanted to.
As expected, Jebra nodded in satisfaction. It seemed Jebra did what Angor asked him to do again.
Since the matter was settled, Angor decided to leave. From his conversation with Jebra, Angor could tell that no one from Song of the Deep knew about his trip to that island. However, he was still worried that Jebra would ask him about his "seclusion" several days ago. Once or twice could be dodged, but if Angor insisted on pursuing an answer, Angor, who had just accepted the offer of "building a good relationship", directly rejecting or fabricating an excuse on the spot would arouse suspicion. It was better to leave now.
Before Angor could say goodbye, Jebra spoke first. "Since we're closer than before, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"How's Shiliew doing?"
Angor looked at Jebra carefully. "What's wrong? Are you going to get revenge on Shiliew? "
Jebra lowered his gaze. "No. I just want to know how she's doing."
"I didn't pay much attention to her when I left Brute Cavern, but I'm not sure how she's doing right now," Angor said after making sure Jebra didn't look surprised. But I think she's fine. "
Jebra nodded. "That's good."
Jebra sighed in relief. Was this guy a masochist? Did he fall in love with Shiliew?
If that was the case, Jebra would only have a crush on her for the rest of his life. Every time Shiliew saw Jebra, she would go crazy and try to destroy Jebra, who represented the "sea" attribute. There was no way Jebra and Jebra would work together.
Seeing that Jebra didn't want to ask anything else, Angor prepared to leave.
Before he left, he suddenly thought of a question. "Is it worth it for you to spend so much money to get close to me?"
Jebra chuckled. "I see you don't know about your reputation in the southern wizarding region."
"Reputation?" Angor was surprised. He only showed his face once in the purification garden. After that, he went quiet for half a year. What kind of reputation did he have? Was it because of Greya's new spell? But the news shouldn't have spread so quickly, right? Besides, Greya's spell creation was mostly based on her personal experience.
Jebra poured himself another glass of wine. "Well, it all started from the auction three months ago."
…
Angor arrived at Ocean Mansion around three in the afternoon. When he left, it was already night.
The snow had stopped falling, and the entire Lost Paradise City was covered in a layer of silver. Fluorescent lamps were everywhere, which made the city look beautiful and peaceful.
Neet was still waiting outside with the Moose Sled. The Moose Sled was naked before, but now it was covered with a soft coat.
On their way back, Angor remained silent with a worried look on his face.
He recalled his conversation with Jebra earlier. At first, Jebra only told him about Angor's music box at the auction house. Later on, Jebra also mentioned something about the southern region, which was why the conversation was delayed until now.
Angor didn't expect the music box to be sold at such a high price. He also didn't expect "Mithril Innovator" Jellal to win the bid.
Because of the music box, Angor's reputation in the southern wizarding region had skyrocketed.
Jebra even teased him. "There are all kinds of nicknames out there, such as' Mystery Next Stop ',' Music Box Magician ',' Illusion Manipulator ',' Lionheart Thorn ', and so on. When are you going to go out and prove yourself?"
Angor wasn't in a hurry. As long as it wasn't 'Baron Milk', he didn't care. No matter how stupid the name was, it still depended on the wizard's own ability to survive.
Using one's own ability to earn a title was much more convincing than going to the Sky Tower.
Angor only smiled when he heard about the music box. What he was truly concerned about and worried about were a few other pieces of news.
One of them was the "Darkness Shroud" in the Evernight Kingdom.
According to Jebra, almost one-sixth of the Evernight Kingdom's cities had fallen into the darkness. Countless refugees were fleeing to the neighboring countries. Even wizard organizations and clans in the Evernight Kingdom had begun to evacuate. So far, there was no effective way to stop the darkness from spreading.
Angor was worried about this. However, as someone who fought against the core of the darkness, he wasn't as worried as he thought. At least he could still get rid of the parasites, and several of them were still alive in his Nightmare Domain.
The second thing was that something happened in Fairytown.
To be more precise, something happened in Fairy World. From the outer world to the middle and inner worlds, a large number of monsters and parasites like the ones in the Evernight Kingdom had appeared.
Fairy World was the second place to fall after the Evernight Kingdom.
The only reason why he cared about this was because the name "Pocratee" popped up in his mind when he heard Jebra's explanation.
The appearance of parasites in the fairy tale world … Did something happen in the underground village, Pocratee?
Could it be that someone had gone to mess with the Pocratee lair?
