Not long after Angor stepped into the manor, he saw Leon riding toward him on his horse.
"You're back so early? You're done with Princess Shannon? "Leon jumped off his horse and looked at Angor with a surprised look.
Angor nodded. He noticed that Leon's forehead was covered in sweat, and his body was also emitting white steam. It seemed that Leon had been doing a lot of strenuous exercise.
Leon also noticed Angor's strange look. "Got itchy, so I went hunting in the woods. Unfortunately, the refugees scared away all my prey, so I couldn't find anything for the whole day. "
With that, Leon couldn't wait to ask about the situation at the frontline.
Olga's maid ran to them from the end of the path while panting heavily. She told Angor that dinner was ready and asked them to join her.
"Good. Let's talk while we eat." Leon forced Angor into the dining hall without saying a word.
Angor did not need to eat. However, seeing Toby's eagerness and his brother's earnest look, Angor did not reject the offer.
During dinner, Leon asked about the situation at Moonwater City with great interest.
Angor didn't answer. Instead, he used an illusion to show them what happened at the frontline of Moonwater City. It also included the battle between Toby and the Heart Eater. Lyon, as well as Mana and Olga, who were waiting at the side, were so nervous that they didn't even dare to blink their eyes. They paid close attention to the development of the plot in the illusion.
In the nick of time, Toby had saved Princess Shannon and killed the Heart Eater. The atmosphere in the camp changed from dispirited to excited. Under Princess Shannon's encouragement, all the soldiers shouted, "Heylan will die!"
Apart from Angor, everyone in the room could feel the strong contagion of the voice.
Olga, who didn't cry much, even had to cover her nose with a handkerchief to stop herself from crying out loud.
This new way of viewing was much more convincing than describing it with words.
Even Mana, who usually didn't care about anything else, couldn't help but comment, "I'm sure Moonwater City will win this war!"
Ma Na's words caused Olga to nod her head repeatedly.
After all, they were born and raised in the Golden Sparrow Empire. Naturally, they hoped that their country would win. Moreover, Heylan had used cheating methods to invade their territory and even killed the backbone of the empire, General Meng En. Clearly, they had a common enemy.
Compared to the maids' opinions, Leon frowned after reading it. "Where have you been? I saw Toby fighting the Heart Eater. Why didn't I see you? "
"I went to fight the Summoner. He's just a beginner apprentice, and I killed him in one hit. Nothing to see," Angor replied.
Leon looked at Angor with a doubtful look.
Angor remained calm. He did kill the man in one hit, but he did not want to explain too much since the man was involved with the Rat Ants.
He also used illusions to show Shannon's trip to the capital of Sambia, but they only showed the general view of the city and the prosperity of the city. Olga and Mana, who had never been to the capital, exclaimed in surprise.
He didn't want to tell Eureka about his trip to the royal palace, especially since Eureka was still in Padt Manor.
During the banquet, Leon asked Angor to simulate the terrain of Moonwater City so that he could use his military knowledge to fight against Heylan.
After dinner, Leon concluded that as long as the soldiers did not panic, they had an 80% chance of winning.
And as it turned out, Leon was right.
Several days later, news of the victory spread from Moonwater City to every corner of the Goldspink Empire. Taannon's army had won a great victory in Moonwater City, which reassured the refugees and the restless masses.
Goldspink Empire was not old yet. It could still soar high in the sky.
Everyone thought that this was due to the royal princess's help. Only by stabilizing the morale of the soldiers could they win.
What they did not know was that the person who changed the tide of the war was currently sitting in his study, observing the soft, ball-shaped insect nest.
Angor knew that there was a door in Shannon's palace that was drawn by "Magic Painter" Mirafael, and he could not hold back his curiosity. However, to open the door, he had to learn Shapeshifting first.
As soon as he returned home, he began to observe the nest.
Previously, when the Dream Weaver Ant occupied the nest, it could only transport one drop of Akeso's essence blood at a time due to its body shape. It also had to eat Akeso's essence blood as food, so it didn't have much essence blood to nourish the eggs.
Angor, on the other hand, was much more generous than the Dream Weaver ant. The eggs were soaked in Akeso's blood, and the nutrients and energy contained in the blood were constantly being absorbed by the eggs. Whenever Angor thought that the blood was no longer useful, he would replenish it with more.
Therefore, in the past one and a half months, the activity of the eggs in the nest had greatly increased.
On the day Angor returned from Moonwater City, he noticed that there was a new Soft Insect in the nest. It was white and plump, and it was wriggling around the nest like a worm.
The Soft Larva was still a common Soft Larva, which was not as valuable as the mutated Soft Larva. Therefore, Angor did not pay much attention to it. He only gave it food from time to time.
Angor kept his attention on the unhatched eggs. He noticed that many of them were already showing signs of breaking out of their shells, but they were all still growing.
One particular egg caught Angor's attention. Among all the other eggs, there was one that seemed to be more active than the others. However, it did not look like it was about to hatch. Instead, it felt lethargic.
Angor already put a lot of Akeso's blood into it, and all the other eggs were highly active. But this one only showed a little bit of activity. Angor decided to observe it for a few days.
As he went on, he noticed that this particular egg had a very low rate of absorbing nutrients from the blood. While the other eggs had absorbed most of the nutrients, this one only managed to absorb a little bit.
Perhaps this was why it looked so weak.
Angor considered for a moment and carefully placed the egg in a separate space in the nest with his spirit feelers. Then, he added more Akeso's blood to the egg.
He originally thought that this bug egg had a low innate conversion rate, but when he isolated the bug egg, he realized that this bug egg's conversion rate was not low at all.
When there was only one egg in the nest, the absorption rate was shockingly high.
If the other eggs shared the same amount of blood, it would take them about three days to absorb all the nutrients in the blood. But when there was only one egg, it only took two days to absorb all the nutrients.
Angor poured the same amount of blood into the egg.
"The absorption rate is low among the same kind. But why is it so high when there's only one egg? "Angor wondered." Is it because you pity your own kind and don't want to compete with them? Or … "
"You don't want to compete with them?"
One was like the Virgin Mary, who only liked to be humble. The other was like a queen, who stood high above the masses and didn't want to fall into the dust and eat with the common people.
Angor didn't know which type this egg belonged to, but it must be special. He decided to keep observing it.
While observing the egg, he didn't forget to think about other plans. First, he needed to find a way to save Jon. Second, he needed to learn Dream Walk.
He didn't know how to save Jon yet. He could only record Jon's body data and insert various magic formulas to see if he could find something suitable for Jon's condition.
Dream Walk did make some progress, but it was an interdisciplinary method. Angor was frustrated by how slow it was.
At this rate, he estimated that it would take him at least two years to master Dream Walk.
For apprentices in the wizarding world, it was acceptable to spend two years to master a cantrip. It didn't sound like a long time, but Jon only had two years to live. Angor wanted to learn Dream Walk so that he could check Jon's condition. If he had to waste two years, he might as well not learn it in the first place.
Angor began to think if there was a way to speed up Jon's Dream Walk.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly remembered something. He took out a black conch from his bracelet that had a crescent moon and a starry sky.
It was the Dream Whelk from Moonlight Coast. He hadn't used it since he got it.
For one thing, he didn't have time to study it. For another, the Dream Whelk wasn't very useful. Freud's suggestion was valuable, but he didn't see any hope yet.
Therefore, he didn't want to let it collect dust. Angor took out the Dream Whelk because he recalled the time when he found it in the Central Empire's Silver Heron Palace.
According to Freud, only dream energy could activate the Dream Whelk.
Angor didn't believe it, so he tried using all the energy he knew. In the end, he found that he could activate the Dream Whelk by using nightmare energy.
He didn't know why nightmare energy could activate it, but he believed that nightmare energy had the property of dreams.
Now, he was wondering if he could use nightmare energy as a medium to enter dreams, since he hadn't been able to successfully research the concept of entering dreams.
While thinking about this possibility, he released a strand of nightmare energy.
The Dream Whelk on the table instantly came to life.
Angor sensed the Mystery energy coming from the Dream Whelk and cursed in his mind.
Before he could put the Dream Whelk away, he heard the sound of a window breaking. At the same time, he heard a woman's voice behind him. "Oops! I think something good just showed up …"
