Chapter 787 - More Crisis
The “dragonfly nest” in Pocratee had been there for over a thousand years. It looked peaceful enough since the monsters did nothing more than roaming around the village.
But suppose that someone actually provoked them…
Jebra described the general situation of Fairy World as “really bad but could still get worse”. Yet Angor knew there was even more to it. The biggest problem was the nightmare passage hidden in the village.
He wasn’t sure whether something from the Nightmare Realm could enter Fairy World through that tunnel, but he WAS sure that all the strange monsters already living inside the tunnel meant big trouble if they came out.
He still remembered that, when traveling with the rainbow dragonflies, they ran into a gigantic life form that seemed deadly enough AND highly intelligent. If the dragonflies suddenly decided to set it free…
When he thought the southern region had enough trouble, Jebra told him yet another incident, which was caused by the greedy nature of men.
In the past year, Angor kept hearing “Abyss” being mentioned, but he didn’t pay enough attention until Jebra told him what was going on over there.
“In Abyss Plane, Mister Monkey is planning to get his hands on the offspring of a Grand Demon so that he can use its blood to transcend his limit and reach the level of legendary.”
While feeling a bit annoyed for having to unnecessarily spend money, Jebra tossed two magic crystals into his device and established a connection with Sliv.
“Angor left the city? So why are you not following him, hmm?” Sliv spoke through the speakers.
“Mister Sliv, I’ve met with Angor. I don’t believe he’s the thief you’re looking for.”
Sliv scowled upon hearing the word “thief”.
“Why do you say so, hmm?”
Jebra silently cursed Sliv for asking an unnecessary question but still maintained his polite look. “I sensed no particular reactions during our conversation. Besides, as I said last time, Angor created a powerful mid-tier alchemy item at White Oak Mountain just before the time of thievery. I believe you know how alchemists all treasured their creations dearly, sir. There’s no way Angor had the time to finish his item and head to the secret dimension to conveniently steal the treasure in such a short time.”
As commonly known in this world, an alchemist needed months or even years prior to making a new item to set up careful plans. And after the item was successfully crafted, they also needed time to evaluate and test it.
They would then write down everything they learned from their work in great detail, which would later become their most precious knowledge either used for reviewing, teaching, or bartering with others. How could an alchemist skip such important work and go treasure hunting?
