Chapter 279 - Undertaking Nightmare Domain
“It means the Nightmare Domain you cut out from space shall fall under your own management,” Sunders said.
“Um, you mean like a lord who owns his land?”
“You can put it that way,” said Sunders as he nodded.
Angor’s eyes twinkled. “So this domain is mine from now on?”
“Correct.”
“Is it like Sorcerer’s Garden? But without a law? I can put my stuff in there anytime, and I don’t need a space storage?”
Sunders sneered, “In your dreams maybe.”
“Nice music box. Keep it up,” Sunders left those words and turned away.
“Did he ask me to sell music boxes to pay my debt?” Angor pondered. That was not going to get him enough money!
…
The preparations for fusing the Nightmare Domain was done. Sunders took Angor to a corner of the hall.
“Get ready, I’m starting,” Sunders warned.
“Wait!” Angor looked worried as he asked, “While I do what I need to do, will the Twilight Auction start without me?”
Sunders nodded. “Yes, if nothing goes wrong again.”
Angor had no idea how long the process would take, so he handed his bone card to Sunders.
“Professor, please help me finish the transaction coming from the auction if I’m not there to do it, and accept the items I bought,” Angor asked.
Sunders checked the boned card and chuckled, “So you’re Number 187? Flora will be quite surprised to find out.”
Angor’s forehead started to sweat.
“Okay. I’ll get your items, as long as you are still alive.” Sunders considered a little and decided not to ask Angor why he bought materials only master alchemists could refine.
“Prepare yourself.”
“Hold on!”
Sunders frowned. “You’re changing your mind now? Too afraid to die?”
Angor shook his head and revealed a pleading look. “Professor, I have another request, may I?”
“No,” replied Sunders as he thought about Angor’s previous request and grimaced.
“I want your help to buy the eyeless man. Spending some money is fine. I’ll pay you back as fast as I can,” Angor explained despite Sunders’ words of refusal.
The gentleman hesitated a little and could not persuade himself into ignoring Angor.
“So you can pay me back, no matter how many crystals I used to help you?”
Angor nodded. “Yes. I’m doing it for Toby this time.”
He had been hiding Greya’s information from Toby. Since the bird always helped him in times of need, Angor felt greatly indebted to his little partner.
Sunders sighed. “A gourmet wizard… even if he’s an apprentice, he’ll worth more than you can imagine. I’ll put it this way… You’ll probably need more magic crystals than the sum of your current debt. Are you sure you want to buy him off if the bid climbs beyond two hundred thousand?”
“Two-two hundred thousand?!” Angor did not even hesitate. “Ne-never mind.”
Sunders was speechless to see Angor’s determination faltering so soon.
“Professor, can you note down the name of the buyer then?”
“You… want to hijack him after the auction?” Sunders would be really disappointed if that was Angor’s plan.
“I… think I’ll buy the eyeless man from the buyer later… When I get enough money, that is.”
