"Wait, maybe Angor knows something about Sleepless City." Vifet's eyes suddenly brightened up, but they quickly dimmed down. "But this Angor guy has always been a mystery. He didn't show up when his music box was sold for a high price. I wonder where he is right now."
"Maybe I can ask him if I see him again. Moreover, I really want to meet this genius of the younger generation. "
While Vifet was talking, Beals' eyes kept glowing.
Vifet didn't know where Angor was, but Beals did! Maybe he could get some first-hand information about the Evernight Kingdom from Angor, which would greatly benefit his business group.
But how should he get information from Angor?
"Cassini …" Beals muttered as he recalled Angor's question. Maybe he could find someone to find out who Cassini was and use the information to trade with Angor?
Vifet was still immersed in his thoughts and didn't notice Beals mumbling to himself. On the contrary, the shadowy figure, who had been sitting on the side calmly, suddenly moved.
The figure's movement attracted the attention of Beals and Vifet.
Under Vifet's respectful and doubtful gaze, the shadow asked in a voice that could make people submit to him from the bottom of their hearts, "Repeat the name you just said."
Wyfit asked suspiciously, "What name? Angor? "
The figure ignored Vifet's question and looked at Beals in silence.
Beals didn't know why the figure reacted so strongly. Besides, the figure's voice also gave him goosebumps, which meant the figure was quite powerful. He also noticed Vifet's respectful look when speaking to the figure.
Could it be that this illusory figure had some great background? Was there someone like that in Moxa Westland?
The figure asked again while Beals was still trying to figure out who the figure was.
Beals hesitated for a moment, but under Vifet's incessant glances, he finally said, "You mean … Cassini?"
The phantom fell silent upon hearing this name.
Vifet was also puzzled. He had never heard of the name before, but the name attracted his old friend's attention. Was there something fishy about the name?
The figure pondered for a while before he spoke in a casual tone. "It's been a long time. I didn't expect to hear that name again."
Who was he? Who was Cassini? Both Vifet and Beals were puzzled by the figure's words.
At this moment, the substance that looked like a water mirror or a thin mist around the shadow slowly faded away. The figure became more solid, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man.
The man wasn't particularly handsome. His face was pale, and he had no beard. His eyes were closed.
Beals didn't recognize the man's face. However, when he looked down and saw the man's clothes, he almost couldn't believe what he saw.
He pointed at the mysterious robe with a trembling finger.... "He couldn't believe what he was seeing...... the Everlasting Night Robe.......
The robe Beals was pointing at was black, but it wasn't black like normal black. It was as dark as a hole in the universe, as if it could swallow even light. On the robe, other than the black color, there were also decorations that looked like star-shaped stripes, which meant that they were shining. Other than that, there were also all kinds of dark golden patterns.
This was the Eternal Night Robe, a top-tier alchemy item that was famous throughout the southern region.
Legend had it that the Everlasting Night Robe was owned by Gauss of Starliege Church.
"If it's Gauss …" Beals looked at the man's head. The man was wearing a large crown similar to the Everlasting Night Robe. The crown was also black, but there were golden clocks and gears engraved on it.
"The Crown of Time!" Another top-tier alchemy item. It was one of the two crowns of Starliege Church. Overall, it was one of the top ten crowns in the entire southern region.
Even though Beals had never seen the middle-aged man before, he was certain that he was one of the Twin Stars of the Starliege Church, Gauss!
Among the eighteen observers of the Starliege Church, Gauss, the Illusionary Thinker, was the strongest other than Lupanye.
A truth-finder wizard!
Even the other "Immortal Crown" of the Gemini Star, Lupouye, was almost as strong as Gauss.
"Mister Gauss." When Beals realized that the man in front of him was someone he would never meet in his life, he immediately bowed in a sorcerer's salute.
"'Whale Hunter' Beals," Gauss said slowly. "I've heard of you."
Beals was flattered. It was an honor for him to be recognized by this man.
"Beals, I want to ask you a question." Gauss' voice was slow and rhythmic, making people involuntarily believe him.
"Please ask, Mister Gauss. I'll tell you as long as I know."
"I want to know, where did you hear the name … Cassini?" When Gauss mentioned Cassini, a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes. It was fear and jealousy.
Beers, who was immersed in the Gaussian accent, wanted to say the name out loud, but before he could, his principles as a businessman woke him up.
"Mister, one of my customers asked me about this man. Forgive me for not telling you his name. "Beals lowered his head apologetically.
After Gauss heard this, he smiled indifferently. "If you don't say it, do you think I can't see it?"
As one of the eighteen observers of Starliege Church, Gauss was also a Prophet. It wasn't hard for him to sense someone's identity.
Gauss didn't care about privacy, especially when it came to Cassini's name. As soon as he said that, he began to construct his Prophecy spell.
Beals lowered his head and sensed the strange energy ripples coming from the spell. His face remained expressionless, but he was sighing in his mind. It's not like I don't want to keep it a secret, but there's nothing I can do if a Prophet sees through you.
As Beals sighed, Gauss' Prophecy spell was already completed.
Gauss looked into the distance and muttered softly, "Could you be the one he marked? Let's see who you are. "
For a moment, Gauss' gaze felt as if it had crossed mountains and seas and entered a dimensional rift.
At the same time, Angor, who was in Freighting Town of the Central Empire, suddenly felt something strange. But before he could focus on it, he saw a crystal-like teardrop on the end of his left shoulder patch. The Crimson Ward hidden inside the teardrop began to move in strange patterns.
The strange feeling disappeared in an instant.
He looked up in confusion. "Huh? Why did I suddenly feel something? Could it be that someone is talking about me? "
Far away in Moxa Westland, Gauss suddenly felt the energy inside his body going berserk, which made him gasp for air.
"What's wrong, old friend?" Vifet looked at Gauss in confusion. As an old friend of Gauss, Vifet had seen Gauss casting spells more than once. However, ever since Gauss embarked on the path of truth, he had rarely failed. Could it be that he had misjudged?
Gauss didn't answer. Instead, he put on a serious look and reconstructed the spell model in his mind space.
Soon, Gauss' Prophecy spell took shape again, and this time, it was even more powerful than before.
A moment later, blood oozed out of Gauss' mouth.
This was the result of him forcefully restraining himself. If he had let it go, he would have vomited blood on the spot.
"You didn't actually fail, did you?" Vifet wondered.
Beals also stared at Gauss in disbelief. How could a truth-finder wizard like Gauss fail?
Gauss nodded helplessly. "I was too careless."
Vifet frowned. "You won't fail even if you try to find a level-2 truth-finder wizard, right? Why did you … "
Gauss also looked a little confused. "I don't know why, but when I tried, all I saw was blood, and the spell disappeared on its own. It wasn't a backlash. I just couldn't find anything. "
"Maybe he's not on the path of the Wheel of Time? Or perhaps, the other party was in a special place. There was also a possibility that the other party might have a way to avoid being spied on by the prophecy, such as an alchemy product or a special spell. But alchemy products like that are extremely rare. As far as I know, there are less than a hundred of them in the southern wizarding region. "
Vifet thought for a moment. He knew Gauss was studying the Wheel of Time, but what did he mean by "not on the path of the Wheel of Time"?
Gauss explained, "Places where time is chaotic are not on the path of the Wheel of Time. For example, the Nightmare Realm, which has been banished by time."
Gauss and Vifet discussed for a while, but they still couldn't come up with an answer. So they turned to Beals again. Since there was one person who knew, they could just let him say it himself.
Beals smiled bitterly. "I really can't. It's about my reputation. If I do, it won't only be a disaster for the merchant group, but also for my own future. "
Since Beals had already mentioned his future, Gauss didn't want to make things difficult for him. However, he was still curious about the identity of the person who knew about Cassini.
Vifet couldn't help but ask, "You don't have to tell me his name. But do you know how he managed to avoid detection?"
Beals had a hunch that Angor must have created some kind of alchemy product related to Cassini.
Beals felt a sense of satisfaction when he thought about how Angor was able to create something that even Gauss couldn't see through at such a young age.
But he still couldn't say it out loud.
Since Beals didn't say anything, Vifet had no choice but to give Gauss a helpless look.
Gauss shook his head and sighed.
For a time, the atmosphere fell into silence and awkwardness.
Beals thought that he might as well leave first. After all, staying here would only make him a target for everyone.
Before Beals could say goodbye, he heard Vifet asking Gauss, "To be honest, I still don't know who this Cassini you're talking about is."
Beals didn't know either, but from their previous conversation, he could roughly guess that Gauss knew Cassini's identity.
So, he held back his urge to leave and waited for Gauss' answer.
Gauss remained silent for a moment. "I don't know who Cassini is either. But Lappouille once met Cassini, and he told me that Cassini once stole his' Choice '."
"Stole his' Choice '? This Cassini you're talking about … "Both Beals and Vifet were stunned. They both thought of the same name.
Time Thief?!
