Shannon agreed to Angor's request.
"Without the help of supernaturals, I'm sure we can get rid of Heylan and reclaim our lost territory. If we still lose the war, we'll just accept it. " That was what Tawny told him. Because of this, Angor began to like the princess a little.
She was a woman who judged the situation and was devoted to the country. Two months after giving birth to her child, she put on her armor and went into battle. She had a unique temperament that emanated from within.
Of course, he wasn't going to agree just because he liked Shannon's offer.
As a wizard who believed in equivalent exchange, Angor only agreed to Shannon's request because he was curious about the knight's sword.
How did a normal knight's sword contain fire elements?
As an alchemist, Angor was very interested in this question. He believed that the sword could not inherit the power of elements, and he wanted to find out more about it.
Also, Elemental Fire was actually an extension of fire element. He was curious about how to create Elemental Fire in the Old Earth, where elements were scarce and inert.
Angor wondered if Shannon's secret had something to do with the "Mystery of Disappearing Elements" mission.
Even though he was in seclusion, he still decided to visit Shannon for a few days.
Angor glanced at Shannon, who couldn't hold back her joy. "Now, tell me your secret, right?"
Shannon hesitated. She was worried that Angor wouldn't give up if she told him now.
"Actually, if I want to know your secret, there are many ways. You won't even notice it, and you'll be able to obtain the secret. " Angor considered for a moment. "But I didn't do that. Since I promised you, I'll keep my promise."
Shannon knew that wizards had many tricks up their sleeves. Maybe Angor really knew something like "Mind Reading". With that in mind, Shannon nodded.
"Actually, the item that gave the knight's sword elemental energy is a —" Shannon didn't explain much because even the royals didn't know much about it.
"Stone Bell Lotion?" Angor was surprised. He thought it was something that could absorb elemental energy, which would fit the quest description. But what he didn't expect was that it was just a strange Stone Bell Lotion.
According to Shannon, this stalactite was a liquid that had dripped from a stalactite that had existed in the royal palace for countless years.
Every thirty years, a drop of liquid would drip from the stalactite. Anything placed at the drop point would be contaminated with a certain elemental nature as long as it carried the liquid.
In the eyes of the Shannon Royal Family, the best weapon to unleash the power of the elements was an offensive weapon.
Therefore, every thirty years, they would choose a weapon that they thought was the best and place it at the drop point, waiting for the Stonebell Stalagmite to descend.
"So, every drop of Stonebell Elixir will add some fire element to the weapon?"
Shannon nodded, but then she shook her head and said, "Yes, but not necessarily fire. In the treasury of the royal family, there is a plate contaminated with the water element. Every once in a while, clean water will gather on the plate, no matter how dry the environment is. "
Next, Shannon gave some examples of the treasures accumulated by the previous generations of Shannon Royal Family, such as a dagger sharp enough to cut through metal, a saber that emitted cold air, a staff that created dust when wielded …
These weapons all had grand names, such as the Thorn of the Gods, the Stare of the Winter Goddess, the Return of the Ten Thousand Wheels … Even Shannon's broken sword had an official name: Murahill's Fury.
According to the legends, the God of Fire's real name was Murahill.
Ignoring the ridiculous name, Angor was more interested in the Stone Bell Lotion. Stone Bell Lotion with different elemental properties could drip from it?
Angor assumed that the Stone Bell Lotion was an extremely stable elemental liquid. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to mix with other objects so easily.
But no matter how stable it was, a single stalactite shouldn't be able to produce different elemental liquids. After all, no matter how stable an element's structure was, it would still react to opposing elements, such as fire and water.
But this stalactite could produce water element Stalactite Essence, fire element Stalactite Essence, and other elements as well … This was beyond his imagination.
Unless … the Stone Bell Lotion was a Mystery item.
But soon, Angor began to doubt his theory. If it was, the Stone Bell Lotion would release Mystery properties when it was produced, which would attract the attention of other wizards. It wouldn't remain in the Shannon Royal Family for so long.
Anyway, Angor needed to deal with the Heart Eater first before going to Sanbiya City to check the Stone Bell Lotion.
With that in mind, Angor decided not to ask about the Stone Bell Lotion anymore.
Moonwater City was a port city where the largest port in Goldspink Empire, Vichy Harbor, was located. This was where Angor landed when he boarded The Redbud.
He wasn't unfamiliar with the location of Moonwater City.
It was four o 'clock in the afternoon when they left Grue Town. When they arrived at Moonwater City, it was almost dusk.
After disembarking from Gondola, Angor and Shannon arrived at the camp outside the city.
Along the way, the soldiers who saw Shannon all saluted her. But he could see that the soldiers' morale was low because they all looked like they were in a bad mood.
When they looked at Shannon, their eyes were filled with awe, as well as pity and sympathy.
Many soldiers were hesitant to speak when they saw Shannon's arrival.
When Angor and Shannon arrived at the camp, Shannon sighed. "I'm so sorry, Mister Wizard."
"I don't think Goldspink Empire has a chance of winning against Heylan even if I manage to stop their supernatural," Angor said in a neutral tone.
"That Heart Eater is the reason why they lost their morale. As long as we can deal with the Heart Eater, I'm sure they'll regain their morale. "
"Let's hope so." Angor did not try to refute.
Before they arrived at Moonwater City, Tawny already told them that they didn't need to go after the supernatural since she was the commander of the city's army. The commander would always be the first to die in a decapitation operation, not to mention that Tawny was a princess of the royal family. Killing someone like her would only cause chaos in the army.
As long as Angor and Shannon strutted into the camp, Heylan's informant would tell the supernatural about it, and the Heart Eater would come to them on its own.
When Shannon returned to the barracks, all the soldiers looked at her with pity. The Heart Eater must have set its sights on her.
In the minds of the soldiers, Shannon was already labeled as a dead person.
"If I'm not mistaken, they'll do it tonight," Shannon said as she leaned against a felt bench inside the tent.
Angor, on the other hand, sat by the window and lifted the curtain made of raincloth to look outside. There were only a few people outside the tent. In fact, there was only a golden-armored knight outside.
Angor told Shannon about the situation outside.
"I sent the guards away," Shannon said. "They'll become cannon fodder if the Heart Eater shows up. Let's just let them go. Besides, Heart Eater usually only kills the commanders and goes away. There's no need to harm the soldiers. "
"As for that golden-armored knight, he's General Alan, who came with me to Yamei Province. He's also from the Morn Family. I told him to leave as well, but he wouldn't listen. He just wants to fight the Heart Eater and get his revenge. "
"Well, he's brave enough to come here knowing he can't defeat the Heart Eater. Too bad he's a little out of his mind."
While waiting for the Heart Eater to show up, Angor kept thinking about how to enter his dream.
When the moon rose into the sky and the candles in the tent flickered, Angor finally opened his eyes.
The camp was quiet. Everyone seemed to be asleep. Through his spirit feelers, Angor noticed that most of the soldiers were still looking at the tent, praying that the Heart Eater wouldn't show up.
"That supernatural wrote you a letter and asked for the treasure … Where did he learn about it?" Taannon nodded.
"It's our fault." Taannon sighed deeply. "Father was furious when he received the letter. He thought there must be a traitor in the royal family. After a careful investigation, we found that Third Princess Consort was nowhere to be found. After some investigation, we found a letter between Third Princess Consort and Heylan.
"So Third Princess Consort is from Heylan. She tried to get close to Third Brother in order to get information about the war. However, she didn't obtain any information about the war. Instead, she found out that there was a Red Lotus Bow in Third Brother's secret treasury that could shoot fire arrows. "
But Third Brother didn't know about the stalactite either. He only knew that the royal family had a treasure that could create elemental weapons.
"Later, Third Princess Consort got Third Brother drunk and sent the information to Heylan through an underground tunnel. I think that's when the supernatural from Heylan found out about it. "
Tears welled up in Taannon's eyes.
"It is precisely because of the Third Princess Consort's betrayal and the fact that Third Brother was the one who spread the news that made him feel guilty. When the Heart Eater attacked the royal family, Third Brother sacrificed himself to activate the treasure and defeated the monster. "
Angor was about to ask what the treasure was, but Taannon didn't seem to care about it.
But seeing how sad Shannon was, he didn't ask her about it. He'd find out when he returned to the capital.
When the moon was hanging high in the sky, Angor suddenly opened his eyes under the illumination of candles in his tent.
