The relationship between Song of the Deep and Brute Cavern wasn't exactly good, but Sliv was the one who caused it. Imakan's faction, which hated him for a long time, would definitely use this as an excuse to kick up a fuss.
After all, this was a matter that involved the two major organizations. Even Flunza would not be able to protect him.
Killing Angor was easy, but it would also bring him a lot of trouble. With this in mind, Sliv slowly calmed down.
However, the arrow was already nocked on the bowstring. If he pulled it back now, he would lose face.
While Sliv was in a dilemma, Angor was still trying to find a chance to escape.
Jebra, on the other hand, noticed Sliv's dilemma. He considered for a moment and stepped forward to take over the conversation.
"You said you don't have the Mystery item. Then how do you explain the Mystery energy you sensed earlier?"
Sliv sighed in relief when he heard Jebra's words. He then withdrew his aura and stepped aside with a straight face.
When Sliv withdrew his aura, Angor thought that this was his "chance" to break out of the encirclement and escape.
However, Jebra's question made him pause and gave him a strange look.
"So you came here to accuse me because you sensed the presence of a Mystery item?" Angor looked at Jebra in disdain.
Jebra didn't look into Angor's eyes, but his attitude was clear enough.
Angor remained silent for a while before he suddenly chuckled.
"That's right. I was testing for a Mystery item, and I just got it."
"Just got it?" Jebra carefully observed Angor's reaction. He didn't think Angor would lie in such a situation.
But when he thought about Angor's words, he suddenly realized something. Since when did Mystery items become so common? What a coincidence! How did he get it so easily?
"You're telling the truth?"
"Can't you tell whether I'm lying or not?"
Angor's attitude was impeccable.
By now, Jebra was starting to believe that the mysterious energy he sensed earlier was a mistake.
Still, it was strange that Angor found a "new Mystery item" so coincidentally.
"A new Mystery item? Why don't you take it out and let us have a look? "Sliv's eyes glinted.
"Appreciate?" Angor sneered. "Nice choice of words. However, I don't think you're here to appreciate it. You're here to snatch it, right? If I don't hand it over, you'll kill me here? Then, continue to accuse me of some groundless crimes? "
Jebra felt a little embarrassed. Sliv, on the other hand, showed a cold glint in his eyes. If there really was a new Mystery Item, he might be able to reduce some of his mistakes after obtaining it.
Angor looked angry, but he was actually calmly observing the two people's reactions.
Especially Sliv's attitude. After all, Sliv was an official wizard, and Angor was in a rebellious mode, so he had to control his words.
Jebra looked a bit guilty while Sliv was glaring at him coldly. Judging from the look on his face, Sliv was already weighing the pros and cons of stealing the Mystery item.
However, Sliv didn't make a move yet. Perhaps he was worried that the item might have some special power, so Angor needed to know its properties first.
Angor considered. "I can give this Mystery item to you. But I won't give it away for free. I worked hard to get it. Pay me 100,000 magic crystals and I'll give it to you right away. "
100,000 magic crystals wasn't expensive at all for a Mystery item. Sliv began to consider if he could buy something from Angor with a little money. That way, he wouldn't have to offend Angor too much, and he wouldn't have to hesitate to ask Angor for help if he needed it in the future.
But … 100,000 magic crystals … was too little?
Both Jebra and Sliv were puzzled by Angor's nonchalant attitude and the low price he offered.
100,000 magic crystals? A Mystery item? Angor was an alchemist himself, so he should know that these two items weren't equal at all.
However, there were exceptions.
For example, some useless Mystery items. Sliv immediately thought of a Mystery item that was once sold for ten thousand magic crystals in an auction.
However, 100,000 magic crystals was still too little for most useless Mystery items. As long as it wasn't the one he was looking for, he could still make a profit.
"You can take it out and have a look. If you like it, I don't mind buying it for my collection."
Since Angor didn't seem to care too much, Sliv knew that he shouldn't offend Angor too much.
"You want to take a look? No problem. " He took out the Dream Whelk from his bracelet and placed it on his palm. "I got it from Neya today. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask her yourself?"
Jebra quickly looked at Neya, who was pretending that she didn't exist on the vine. Neya quickly nodded.
She didn't need to use Truth Inspection to know that Angor wasn't lying.
It seemed that the conch-shaped mysterious item was indeed obtained from Neya. With that in mind, Jebra carefully inspected the whelk in Angor's hand.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the whelk looked familiar.
"Mister Sliv, why do I feel like I've seen this whelk in a book before?" Jebra frowned.
Sliv, on the other hand, recognized the item at first glance. He thought that as long as it wasn't that Mystery item, he would at least make a profit even if it was useless. But he did not expect it to be this item.
Sliv sighed. "It's the Mystery item that sold for the lowest price in the history of Sky Auction 30 years ago."
"The Dream Whelk of the Moonlight Coast."
Jebra quickly realized what Sliv was talking about. "Yeah, I remember now. It's the most useless Mystery item in the world!"
"Give me a hundred thousand crystals, and it's yours." Angor's voice reached their ears.
The whelk's appearance meant that Angor's theory was confirmed.
The Mystery energy Jebra sensed must have come from the Dream Whelk. Also, Neya could testify to that.
It was all a blunder. His blunder only resulted in him offending Angor and losing his friendship with Angor.
"100,000 magic crystals?" Sliv humphed. I won't take it even if it costs me 10,000 crystals.
But he knew that he had offended Angor a little too much, so he didn't need to show his disdain for the whelk.
Sliv glared at Jebra. "This whelk doesn't suit me, so I won't take it. Maybe Jebra will need it. He's the one who found it. "
Without hesitation, Sliv turned around and entered the plane passageway. At the same time, he spoke to Angor again, "Don't ever bother me again if you don't have a valid reason. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson that you'll never forget even if your teacher is Flunza. "
It was clear that Sliv was talking to Jebra.
Seeing Sliv leaving, Angor felt a little relieved. He wasn't afraid of Jebra at all.
Jebra's expression darkened because of Sliv's words. But he still had to put on a flattering look in front of Angor.
Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, Jebra's second mission, which was to obtain the item Angor made for him, which was something that could help him learn from Flunza. However, Jebra's previous actions had already ruined their friendship. It would be difficult for him to get back on Jebra's good side.
"Do you want it?" Angor waved the Dream Whelk in his hand.
"No, no!" Jebra quickly shook his head. He didn't have that many magic crystals on him.
Angor snickered and put away the whelk. Next, he took out his Gondola, went to the attic, picked up Freud, and prepared to leave.
Angor didn't pay any attention to Jebra at all.
Before Angor could leave, Jebra called out, "It's all my fault. It's all a misunderstanding."
Seeing Angor ignoring him, Jebra took out a white pouch from between his eyebrows. "There are some materials inside. Please accept them. Just take it as an apology for my previous misunderstanding. "
"Like I said, we don't owe each other anything now." Jebra glanced at Angor.
But I'll accept your apology. I got hurt for no reason, so I'll take it as compensation. " Angor turned to leave. Before he disappeared into the horizon, Jebra sent a voice transmission to him. "I'll forgive you for following me. But from now on, I suggest you don't follow me anymore. "
Clearly, Jebra didn't just ruin his relationship with Angor. He also discovered Angor's Mystery aura too quickly, which exposed his intention of following Angor.
Jebra was starting to doubt whether he could complete Flunza's mission in the end.
…
Sitting on the airship, Angor was also lost in his thoughts.
After this fight, he figured out many of his questions and had a general idea about what happened after he left the island.
But the most terrifying thing was that Jebra had been following him all this time without him noticing.
Now that he thought about it, ever since he left Ferran Land, he sensed a strange energy coming from the bottom of the sea. He thought it was a sea monster, but it was probably Jebra's doing.
As for why Jebra was tailing him, it was probably because Lucas' skull was stolen, which made Jebra a suspect.
However, Angor also learned that wizards with long lifespans weren't idiots. They were smarter than anyone else.
For example, even if Angor hid his tail well and made sure he didn't miss anything, Jebra would still list him as a target if he sensed something wrong.
From now on, Angor had to be more careful. After all, even though adepts often displayed an arrogant and prejudiced attitude, they would never overlook any clues or let anyone off the hook when it came to the actual situation.
The attitude I displayed was the pride that came from my bones. But I won't overlook anything I despise because of my pride.
To put it simply, I shouldn't look down on others, but in principle, I should respect them.
