"I got it! Hahaha! 160,000 magic crystals! I'm rich! "
"They're all mine! I'll chew you into pieces and use you as fertilizer! "
"I'm going to hide them in my storage! No one knows where they are! "
Jack Sue swayed back and forth in a daze, mumbling nonstop. However, his actions did not match his words. Jack Sue took out all the magic crystals, including the ones that were dragged into the ground by Thorn, and placed them on the table.
Next, Jack Sue picked up a pile of pebbles from the ground and began to wander around the garden in excitement.
Angor calmly counted the crystals to make sure they were all in order before putting them into his bracelet. David was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He quietly pointed at Jack Sue, who was wandering excitedly in the rose garden, and whispered, "What's wrong with him?"
"I just gave him a sweet dream."
"Is it an illusion?"
Angor nodded. He only used a simple nightmare illusion to trick Jack Sue into thinking that he already got what he wanted. The illusion was not harmful. It was just that Jack Sue would not be able to accept the difference between what he saw and what he saw before and after.
If this was not Leona's territory, Angor would not have punished Jack Sue so easily.
Dave looked at Angor and the silly Jack Sue again and felt a little lost. Angor's illusion solved the problem so easily that Dave could not find a single flaw in it. Angor's illusions had reached a very high level. At the same time, Angor's alchemy skills had also caused a lot of trouble recently.
"My illusions didn't stop, and my alchemy skills are still improving." Dave felt a little sorry for himself. "I see. No matter how hard I try, I still feel like a lazy loser in front of you."
Angor did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Dave's pitiful expression.
"It's just a basic application of illusions." Angor tried to comfort Dave, but his words only made Dave look even more miserable.
"I can't even understand the basic application … I knew it. I can't understand the world of big shots." Dave lowered his head.
At this moment, a cold female voice suddenly came from the Rose Garden.
"This is indeed an elementary application of illusions."
Accompanying this voice was a wondrous fragrance. David shuddered as he caught a whiff of this fragrance. His face flushed red, and white smoke began to rise from the top of his head.
Angor did not feel anything, but his expression was strange.
The reason why he didn't feel anything was because he was extremely familiar with this aroma … It was the aroma of the king's saliva that he had obtained from the Gluttonous Flower King.
He turned around and looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared in the rose garden.
As a matter of fact, he already knew who this person was as soon as he smelled the essence of Glutton Flower Lord.
The newcomer looked to be a very young woman. Her long, pink, curly hair was draped over her thin, rose-colored dress. Behind her, there seemed to be a background of a rain of flowers. Wherever she went, there would be faint petals floating in the air. She looked like a flower fairy.
"Lady Leona," Angor stood up and greeted her politely.
At this time, David also stood up awkwardly and said with a red face, "Teacher."
Angor glanced at Dave out of the corner of his eye. He remembered that the Glutton Flower Lord's saliva had the effect of calming one's soul. But why did Dave feel like his blood was boiling when he smelled it?
Leona nodded and slowly walked to Jack Sue, who was still in a daze.
"This is indeed a basic illusion," Leona said as she looked at Jack Sue. Leona looked at Jack Sue. "But there's a strange illusion power in it. I guess it's the Phantom Clan's exclusive illusion power."
Angor nodded.
"Good." Leona praised. "Although you're only using basic illusions, the effect is no less than that of a second-level cantrip when combined with this strange illusion. David is right. You can use this illusion almost instantaneously, which means you're quite good at illusions. "
While speaking, Leona removed the illusion from Jack Sue's body.
Jack Sue staggered and woke up from his dream. He looked down and saw nothing but stones inside the thorns. There were no magic crystals at all. He quickly realized that he was tricked.
"You tricked me —" Jack Sue was about to yell when Leona gently pinched Jack Sue's vines.
"If you cause any more trouble, you'll become my background tomorrow." Leona's voice transmission stopped Jack Sue's movement. Jack Sue lowered his head and buried his flower crown into the ground, trembling in fear.
Leona looked at Angor with satisfaction. "Jack Sue was too reckless. It's my fault. Take this as an apology."
Leona took out a crystal clear bottle and tossed it to him.
"It was just a joke, Lady Leona —"
Before Angor could refuse, Leona cut him off. "Don't be in such a hurry. I heard you're leaving with Madelyne? When you get there, this thing will still be useful to you. Just treat it as the difference between the price you gave me for the Glutton Flower King Saliva. "
Angor looked at the bottle on the table.
It was an unconventional glass bottle. Its belly was round but flat, and its side had a diamond-like surface that shone brightly under the sunlight. The bottom of the bottle was a triangular base, while the neck was a smooth curve. The stopper was a diamond-encrusted crown.
Inside the bottle was a thin layer of purple-black liquid. The liquid was covered by a layer of mist, which made it look hazy and illusory.
"This is Kunsha Flower Perfume, made from the Abyss. It's a scent that demons hate the most. It can repel demons. If you're going to that place, you should prepare it, "Leona explained.
Of course, Angor didn't know that Leona was trying to please him. Leona was far better than Angor when it came to perfumery. Her perfume was definitely going to work well.
With that in mind, Angor nodded. "Then … thank you for the gift, sir."
Leona nodded. "I won't take back the token. If you want to learn more about potions or perfumery, feel free to come to me." After a short pause, Leona continued, "When you come back from there, we can also exchange alchemy experiences."
Angor nodded. He knew Leona's last sentence was the key point.
Leona nodded in satisfaction and left the room.
However, Leona only took two steps before she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and said, "Oh right, I have a question for you."
"What's the name of the music box Dave sold at the auction? What's the name of the piano piece?" Leona asked. "So?" "Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a long time.
…
Leona left with satisfaction. At this time, David said in a low voice, "A while ago, many gossip magazines were guessing the name of the song. I didn't expect the name to be so straightforward."
Angor shrugged. "Like I said, it's a piano piece for Alice."
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Did you just say that you're leaving with Madelyne? Where were they going? Why would the Evil Demon Clan be involved? Don't tell me you're going … "
"I have some questions I need to ask my professor." Angor did not deny this time.
"But the Abyss Plane is dangerous —"
"My question is urgent." Angor hesitated. "Besides, once you step into the wizarding world, you'll find danger everywhere."
Dave could tell that Angor was just trying to defend himself. The danger level was relative. However, he also saw Angor's expression and knew that persuading him would not work. David had no choice but to sigh. "I respect your choice, but you must be careful and come back as soon as possible," he said.
Perhaps it was because Angor was going to the Abyss Plane, the atmosphere became a bit heavier.
Angor decided to ask about David's alchemy progress so that he could pretend to be friendly with him. David was also stuck at an alchemy bottleneck. He was a mediator, but he shared a lot of common alchemy experiences.
The heated discussion about alchemy calmed down a bit.
When he was almost done talking, he asked about Nausica and Sailum's situation.
"I heard from Balba that Nausica sent you a letter?"
David nodded. "Yes. It was meant for you. But she knew you're going home, so she sent it to Prome's Alchemy Shop."
He rummaged through his pouch and took out an oiled paper letter, which he handed to Angor.
The cover of the letter read "David".
Angor opened the letter and saw three names written on the front: Angor, David, and Sailum.
Before reading the letter, Angor felt a bit uneasy. Nausica did not leave Brute Cavern to train herself. She was looking for a safe place to fuse with the bloodline of a Nether Demon.
Fusing with a bloodline was extremely risky, not to mention a high-level Abyss Demon Bloodline like this.
Besides, Nausica had never fused with a bloodline before. This was her first attempt at fusing with a bloodline of the Abyss Plane. Nausica made it sound easy by saying that she already checked the information and that Spivet told her the key to fusing with a bloodline. However, when it came to fusing with a bloodline, she would not be able to use other people's experience for reference. Therefore, the risk was still high.
Nausica chose to leave Brute Cavern because she did not want to come back if the fusion failed.
Angor was quite nervous when he read the letter.
However, after he finished reading the entire article, he felt relieved.
Nausica succeeded. But she still needed some time to get used to the new bloodline, so she could not return to Brute Cavern for now. She wrote this letter to let everyone know that she was safe.
At the end of the letter, Nausica left something in suspense. "When I come back, you'll be shocked by my changes."
"Nether demons are much bigger than humans. She's fused with the bloodline of a Nether demon. She's not going to grow bigger, is she?"
"Growing bigger means getting stronger. I think it's a good idea."
Angor paused and glanced at his right hand. Was he trying to grow bigger? No. Even if his right hand grew bigger, it was still within the range of a normal human being. At most, it was … slightly bigger.
