Chapter 577 - Return
It had been two days since they arrived at Brute Cavern.
Angor had been very busy handling all sorts of matters, most of which were strange visitors.
The news about the garden challenge as well as the exaggerated stories about Angor was already known by people in Brute Cavern. Since he arrived at his rented manor, Angor barely had a chance to rest as different people with various intentions kept coming to his doorstep.
Back when his alchemy omens attracted this many visitors, he could more or less remain undisturbed because nobody would actually invade his privacy. But now, each time he left his house, he would immediately be surrounded by people who either came alone or represented other groups or clans.
No matter who they were, Angor wasn’t going to accept any of their invitations. With so many people constantly bugging him, Angor felt that his villa was no longer suitable to live in. Therefore, he simply carried everything to the laboratory inside The Tributary and stayed there.
The Tributary was a large pocket dimension with a total of 138 lab facilities scattered about. The most important point was that less than 20 individuals would come here often.
Angor stayed in his Lab #13, which included the area of a hundred kilometers around his lab. This place was the best choice in the entire Brute Cavern if he wanted to enjoy some peace.
Angor gladly accepted the card. It seemed that he didn’t need to travel the extra distance to visit Lady Mirror later. Also, he still “owed” her an illusion creation. Every time he thought about Lady Mirror’s nasty requirements, he felt reluctant about meeting her again.
While left alone outside, Angor hunkered down and waited patiently.
Did Tree Spirit meet with Dodoro before or did he see someone that looked similar? What is Dodoro’s talent anyway?
Bored, he moved his spirit feelers inside his bracelet, where the Krakoks were still busy with their farm work. Meanwhile, Nano looked as bored as him; he was creating silk again while sitting in the small area restricted by Angor.
Next, Angor shifted his attention to a gray bag placed at a corner. The bag contained Dodoro’s possessions—some clothes and a water bowl with the mark of “a black serpent coiling on a rod” engraved on it.
The mark could be found on every medical kit scattered around Pocratee. According to the Grand Priest of the Krakoks, the mark was called the “Snake Emblem of Immortality”, while the rod shown in the picture was the Staff of Immortality.
Angor once thought that Dodoro’s bowl was actually the staff since Dodoro’s extremely long lifespan seemed to be something related to “immortality”. Angor checked the item many times before, but he did not find anything peculiar with it. However he looked, it was just an ordinary water bowl.
It seemed that despite his memory loss, Dodoro considered the bowl to be something dear to him. He had been keeping it close to him until Angor took him along on their travel. It was then that Dodoro carefully put it away in his luggage.
Maybe that thing’s related to Dodoro’s secret? Angor wondered.
Soon, the door of the green leaf house was pushed open, and Dodoro slowly walked out of the house.
At the same time, the bone card in Angor’s hand glowed brightly for a second, which suggested Dodoro’s information was now stored in it.
