Brulee didn't say anything since they left Lloyds Island.
"Sixty years ago, Master, you saw someone selling a wild Demeter at a fair in the City of Truth. Master wanted to buy it with all his money, but he didn't buy it because it was too expensive. I think someone from the Truth Council bought it. "
"So, I'm really curious. How did you manage to buy a Demeter?"
Brulee continued, "Also, I noticed that Beals of Ashen Time seems to treat you differently. Even when Master came last time, he wasn't as nice as he was now. Why is that? "
Angor's attention was fully focused on the darkness around him so that he wouldn't be ambushed. "The answer to the first question is that I happen to have that many Mana Crystals. As for the second question, I don't know the answer to it either."
Brulee really wanted to ask more questions. Where did you get them? How did an apprentice get so many magic crystals?
But it knew it was too personal for it to ask, so it had no choice but to keep it to the back of its mind.
Angor didn't run into anyone on his way out of the Messina Trench, which confused him a little. Those buyers all wanted to kill him, so why didn't anyone do anything?
But at least he didn't have to waste time.
When he left the sea, the sky wasn't completely dark yet. However, the sunset had already dyed the sky red.
"It's dusk now. If we hurry, we should be back by tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow," Brulee said after calculating the time.
"Let's not go back yet. I need to go to the Land of Revelation first."
Of course, Brulee objected immediately. However, Angor didn't pay it any mind and continued flying toward the Land of Revelation. As an owl, Brulee couldn't fly for long periods of time. It was basically impossible for it to flap its wings and fly back to the Old Earth without stopping. Therefore, it could only flap its wings and follow Lin Sanjiu's lead.
The Land of Revelation wasn't far from here. It would only take a few days by Gondola.
Toby transformed into a gryphon and hurried on his journey. Before dawn, the coastline of the Land of Revelation could be seen in the distance.
Angor had no sense of direction on the sea, but he didn't have to worry about it on land. It didn't take long for them to lock onto the direction of Freighting Town, which was near the Central Empire.
"Why did you come to the Land of Revelation? Do you want to betray our master and send a message to Goman King here? "Brulee questioned him along the way.
"I've never been on the same side as your master. How can I betray her?" Angor paused to stop Brulee from nagging him. "Jon is still asleep, and my brother is still growing. I don't need to expose Master Eureka's location. Plus, I don't need the money."
"Then why are you here?"
"I'm looking for a person. or … a soul.
…
When the airship arrived at Freighting Town again, Angor noticed that the town was still as artistic as it was several months ago.
However, Freighting Town wasn't the same as before. On his way to Thyssen Alley, Angor saw imperial knights guarding the entrance to prevent anyone from entering.
However, these imperial knights were all mortals. They could stop mortals, but they couldn't do anything about supernaturals.
He went straight to the orphanage as if there was no one there.
Before he entered the orphanage, he already heard someone screaming inside.
Angor also heard monsters roaring and eerie cackling coming from the wind.
The feathers on Brulee's back stood on end as she listened to the sounds inside. Her eyes were filled with vigilance.
Angor reached his spirit feelers into the orphanage to check. However, he found that the "Death by Dawn" illusion he had left here was running at full power, and all kinds of strange things were happening to a group of about 20 mortals.
They were running away from the main building controlled by "Butcher" Sunny and heading to the playground. That was their only chance of survival — the safe zone controlled by Alda.
However, it wasn't time for the safe zone to be activated yet. The main building was filled with terrifying creatures from the illusions, which made it even more dangerous for them.
Many of them were on the verge of collapsing inside the illusion.
The screams were a sign that they were about to collapse.
"So Freud really turned this place into a horror park in just a few months?" Angor thought Freud was just joking, but he didn't expect the man to actually do it.
He just didn't know if the men and women who were struggling in the "Death by Dawn" were the tested talents or the nobles who were bored and looking for excitement.
The illusion of the orphanage was supposed to prevent outsiders from entering. However, as the creator of the illusion, Angor had the highest authority in this place.
Angor didn't bother to hide his presence and entered the orphanage without hesitation.
Freud was sitting across from Neya in a room in the basement of the orphanage. They were talking about the quality of the new batch of talents. When Angor entered the orphanage, Freud suddenly jumped up from his seat.
"What's wrong?" Neya looked at Freud in confusion.
"Someone's here," Freud said in a serious tone. "I'll check it out."
Neya's expression tensed up as well. She was the one who suggested that the talents of the Tower of Hurricane come here to train. If something happened to them because of an outsider's interference, she would have to take full responsibility as well.
"It's nothing. It's Mister Padt." Freud's face relaxed a little when he sensed the visitor's aura.
Angor arrived at the door at the same time.
When the door was pushed open, he saw Freud's excited face and Nie Ya, who was trying her best to please Angor despite the fact that she was trying her best to please Angor.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Freud couldn't help but ask, "Mister Padt, are you here for …"
Angor knew what Freud was trying to ask.
He had been too busy with Jon to study the Dream Whelk, so Freud was destined to be disappointed.
Freud's eyes dimmed a little when he saw Angor shaking his head.
"I'm here to ask you something." Angor glanced at Nie Ya and gestured for Freud to follow him outside.
Freud nodded and followed Angor out of the room.
Angor sent Brulee away as well. Brulee gave Angor and Neya a doubtful look. But when it recalled Angor's explanation about how he didn't "betray" Eureka, it didn't say anything and simply flew away.
Angor followed Freud to the roof of the main building, where they could still hear the screams coming from below.
Angor looked down and saw that under Sunny's pressure, the group of men and women who didn't know that they were in an illusion began to display their different personalities. The true beauty of human nature and the evil of human nature were all reflected in them.
However, there were few who were kind. Under extreme fear, the madness and malice that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time finally broke through the restraints of morality and was released.
Angor already knew how evil human nature could be. He didn't really care about what happened to the mortals.
Instead, he looked at the little girl in a red dress who was holding a giant scythe. "Sunny's a lot better as a butcher than when she trained Tulu."
When Tulu was struggling to survive in this illusion, Sunny's murderous aura was still lingering in her body, which made it easy for her to lose control of her emotions. But after spending some time with Freud, Sunny's "butcher" was still as scary as ever. But in fact, she had already learned how to control her temper and killing intent.
"Sunny's just a little stubborn. She needs to be tamed," Freud explained.
"Well, that depends on who's the one taming her. If it's someone else, they'll still die anyway. Are they all talents? "
"Yes. They're the first batch of talents from the Tower of Hurricane." Freud pointed at the ghosts in the sky, who were still holding alchemy tools, "In order to get more customers in the future, I'm going to follow and record the whole process of these talents' evolution."
Freud read many novels from Earth, which helped him to change his vocabulary. Also, he seemed to have learned some of the marketing techniques from Earth.
"Yes, they're evolving. They're trying to summon the beast in their hearts." Angor shook his head and explained his purpose.
"I'm here to ask for your Dream Reading spell. Of course, you can make a reasonable request in return."
Freud was a little surprised by Angor's request.
"You've helped me a lot, Mister Sunders, and I still owe you more in return. So, I'm willing to give you the spell. "
"Don't worry about it. It's normal for there to be a difference between our deals." Angor didn't really care who owed Freud more. If it was a matter of love, Angor wouldn't mind. But this was a business deal, and he had to make the final decision.
Freud considered for a moment. "Can you answer a few of my questions then? You don't have to answer them if they cross the line. "
"If that's all you want, I'll agree."
"Mister Padt, are you going to learn Dream Reading on your own? Did you already learn how to enter someone's dream? "
