Now that Angor had found more clues, he had a better idea of what was going on.
Many years ago, Mirafaele came here and found a place called the Tidal Realm. Hence, she drew a door at the entrance of the Tidal Realm, which was the end of the hole, and sealed the aura that was being emitted. After that, she left the map to the Shannon Royal Family as a legacy.
Of course, whether or not the Tidal Realm was behind the door was only a guess. However, it was more likely to be the Tidal Realm.
If that was the case, Angor believed that the Tidal Realm might be the place where the missing elements from the Old Earth could be found.
According to Miraphael's drawing, the Tidal Realm was filled with elemental creatures, who needed a large amount of elemental energy to survive. There was almost no elemental energy in the Old Earth, while the Tidal Realm was rich in elemental energy.
Meanwhile, Lochet and the others were still grieving over the loss of the third prince's life.
Angor looked around and wondered if he should tell them the truth about the scroll. According to his analysis, the blood of the Shannon Royal Family was required to activate the map, but it didn't need to be sacrificed. Magic crystals could be used as the energy source.
The reason why someone died every time they tried to activate the scroll was that they didn't know the rules of the scroll and had to use their life energy to activate it.
Angor considered for a moment and decided not to tell them.
The secret of this place had been hidden for so long because the Shannon Royal Family rarely used it even though they had it. That was because the cost of using the map was too high. If they knew that there was another way to use the map, they might waste manpower and money to search for magical crystals and then use the map frequently.
If that was the case, whether it was searching for magical crystals or using the map frequently, it would attract the attention of others. If they were discovered by supernaturals, not only would the Tidal Realm be exposed, but they would also be in danger.
He kept his mouth shut and returned the map to Lochet.
"Did you find anything, sir?" Lochet took the scroll and asked.
"Nothing," Angor answered casually.
Rochet hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then, sir, can you tell us if the person who gave us this scroll is an Extraordinary?"
Angor nodded. "He's not just a supernatural. He's also a big shot in the wizarding world. Therefore, guard this leather scroll well. It's best if you don't tell anyone about it. Otherwise, you will be killed. "
While speaking, Angor injected nightmare energy into them, which convinced them that exposing the scroll would bring disaster to Goldspink Kingdom. Since then, they had been guarding the map carefully and never used it again unless it was absolutely necessary.
He also gave them a hint about the stalactite so that they would keep it a secret. He didn't want the matter of the door to be exposed so soon. If the Tidal Realm was truly behind the door, then at the very least, it would be best not to let others know about it before he finished his investigation.
However, he had to learn Polymorph first, which was a bit of a hassle. Polymorph wasn't like other cantrips that could be learned in a few months or years. With the difficulty of Polymorph, it would take at least twenty years of accumulated knowledge.
Angor sighed in relief. He decided to check on the soft eggs in the nest when he got home.
He didn't think he could really hatch a Polymorph Worm, but at least he had a slim chance of doing so.
If worse came to worst, he could wait until Sunders came back from the Abyss Plane and tell him about this place. At least Angor knew that Sunders wouldn't mistreat him if he found something useful.
Next, Angor had breakfast under Lochet's care. Lochet knew that his daughter would soon return to Moonwater City and face a tough battle against Heylan, so he took the time to invite his advisors to discuss the city's strategy.
After breakfast, Angor went to the palace's high tower.
The golden morning sun shone brightly, while the sky, clouds, wind, and doves surrounded him. Not far away, he could see the bustling buildings of Sangbia City. Angor felt quite relaxed.
Around ten o 'clock in the morning, Shannon came to the tower alone in her high-spirited armor.
"Ready to leave?"
Angor's voice was carried by the wind, which made Shannon feel warm for a moment.
"Thank you, mister." She knew that Angor stayed in the palace for breakfast just to give her some time to think about what was going on.
"I hope you won't lose the war at Moonwater City. It's a beautiful city by the sea. Besides, Grue Town will be in trouble if Yamei Province falls, "Angor said in a casual tone.
"Mister, if you don't want us to lose, why don't you get involved —"
"I don't like trouble, but I hate doing pointless things even more."
He took out his Gondola and asked Shannon to get on board.
It took them three hours to fly from Sangbia City to Moonwater City, where a storm was brewing. At one o 'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the military encampment outside of Moonwater City.
Everyone in the encampment was still on high alert, but when they saw Princess Shannon's arrival, everyone's morale was boosted.
When Angor and Shannon arrived at the main tent, they saw General Alan.
Shannon's heart sank. "Did something happen to Heylan?" She hurriedly asked.
"Heylan should be fine." Alan hesitated and gave Angor a worried look.
"Then why do you look so pale?" Shannon asked.
"Did something happen to the kid I brought with me?" Angor asked.
Alan nodded and knelt down on one knee. "Mister, it's my fault for letting the kid — the kid — escape. I'm willing to accept my punishment."
Alan unsheathed his sword and held it with both hands, indicating that Angor should use the sword to punish Angor.
Angor didn't move. "Tell me what happened."
According to Alan, he ordered a ten-man squad to watch over the kid. However, when the child woke up, he complained that he was hungry and wanted to urinate. They knew that the wizard had left him here, so they didn't dare to disobey him and complied.
They could feed him when he needed to. However, when he needed to relieve himself, they could only untie him. In the end, when he was untied, he took out some strange insects from his pants. The entire ten-man team was knocked down by these insects. The child ran away, and the ten-man team was still unconscious.
When Alan finished saying this, he felt extremely guilty in his heart. He said that he owed Angor a favor, but he failed the first thing Angor asked him to do. How could he not feel guilty?
At this moment, a soldier suddenly arrived. "General Aaron, it's not good. Chika is dying!"
Alan looked up at Shannon and said, "Chica is the leader of the ten-man squad that was guarding the kid."
Angor followed the soldier into the ward.
He was the one who brought the kid here, so he had to take some responsibility for what happened next.
As soon as he entered the ward, he saw the ten people lying on the ground with pale faces. Chica wasn't the only one. The other nine were dying as well.
Death aura was hovering above their heads.
"That kid did this?" Shannon asked in disbelief.
"Yes." The medic nodded. "I think it's some kind of poisonous insect, but we don't know what kind. Because we didn't know what kind of poisonous insect it was, we could only use blood to treat it. As a result, Chika … Alas!
What a cruel bastard!
Shannon's eyes flashed with anger, but she didn't dare to speak her mind in front of Angor.
"I underestimated his wildness." Angor shook his head helplessly. "Let me do it."
Angor used Detoxification to expel the poison from everyone's bodies. As the poison was removed, the men's faces regained some color. However, Chica didn't do it properly, so they still needed some time to recover.
It was a grayish liquid that was stored in a glass bottle. Using Narda's Vision, Angor learned that it was a poison called "Whitefoot Sea Spider". It was highly toxic and could kill someone within three days.
It was one of the most deadly poisons in the world, which meant it couldn't be detoxified using ordinary methods.
From this, it could be seen that the child was truly ruthless. If Angor didn't show up, they would all be dead.
Alan didn't know what kind of poison it was, so he was relieved to see that the poison was gone. However, he soon realized that he had lost Chica, and he didn't know what to do.
"It's fine." Angor didn't mind at all.
Chica was just someone with a potential talent. Whether he was talented or not was another story. When Angor took the kid away, he told him that he was going to test the kid's talent. Since the kid didn't want to do it, Angor didn't mind.
Angor didn't care whether a person was good or evil, but he hated people who did evil more than anything else. He was very displeased with this child's ruthlessness.
He considered and added, "Don't worry about me when you see him again. You can decide for yourselves what to do. "
Since the kid was gone, Angor didn't plan to stay here any longer.
He left the ward and left for Padt Manor on his airship without waiting for their response.
It was almost dusk when Angor arrived at Padt Manor.
When he left, he had set aside two days for this trip. In the end, he only spent one day, and he had obtained a lot of things. He learned that Wizard Painter once visited the Shannon Royal Palace and left behind a map of the Tidal Realm, which was extremely useful information.
If this information reached the Fey Continent, it would cause a huge uproar.
