It was Sailum who just spoke. The boy was 15, one year younger than Angor, and at his prime age of growing. It was only half a year, and he was beginning to surpass Dave in terms of height.
The boy also looked more grown-up, except that he was still wearing that white “bedsheet” as his wizard robe, which didn’t help him to stand out among all apprentices.
“I used Synthesis to make my first tiered weapon in my career. Then I thought about Angor… Where is he now?” Dave greeted the two customers with a smile. Ever since he met them in Angor’s villa, they had become good friends since they didn’t have any reason not to.
Sailum also looked down in sadness.
It was the second eldest presence, Nausica, who tried to lift the grim mood. “It’s just half a year, and you all make it like he’s been away for a decade.”
Apart from the fact that her feminine features looked ever sexier due to her Bloodline training, Nausica didn’t change much. Her close-fit soft armor did nothing to hinder those grown breasts and outstanding hips; in fact, it made them more alluring.
Dave couldn’t stop looking at Nausica since he was just at the right age where he started to learn about women. He could only stare at the strangely-shaped weapon hanging on Nausica’s waist. According to her explanations earlier, Dave learned that the short-bladed weapon was called “Solefly”, one of the weapons Angor created at the beginning of his alchemy career.
Flora sighed. “Yup, he did.”
“They meddle with land affairs instead of staying put at the bottom of the sea?” Sunders considered. “As I recall, Song of the Deep has never joined plane expeditions before, and therefore, they’re on bad terms with Moonfrost. How could Mister Monkey let them join?”
“I don’t know what they came for, but I think I know something which might be relevant.”
“Let’s hear it.”
Flora took a moment to arrange her wording. “About 30 years ago… I ran into a betrayer of Song of the Deep who just escaped the place. He said they obtained a treasure.”
“A Mystery Item?”
“I don’t know, but it’s possible. He didn’t tell me what the item was. He told me the information to trade for his life.” Flora shrugged casually. “I didn’t really care about the clue so I still killed him.”
Sunders stared at Flora, speechless.
Flora let out an adorable chuckle. “I said it’s relevant because the betrayer also said the treasure has something to do with the true name of a demon lord.”
“A demon lord’s true name?” Sunders’ eyes brimmed with realization. Mister Monkey’s plan was to wrestle with an abyss demon to fight for his destiny, and the source of a demon’s power originated from its “true name”.
If what Flora said was true, Mister Monkey would ignore all grudges he held against Song of the Deep and drag them into his plan at all cost.
“Well, if I had known that it has something to do with a random matter 30 years later, I’d pry his mouth open.” Flora spread her hands.
Sunders thought about the new clue and decided to consider this new piece of information as another uncertainty in the coming arrangement.
They talked about some other facts about the plan before Sunders decided to send Flora away.
Flora glanced at the demon falcon decoration on Sunders’ desk and rolled her eyes. “I heard you accepted an escort mission from someone, right?” She floated closer to her professor. “But the purification garden won’t open up for another month. Why so early?”
Sunders was a little surprised when he smelled something coming from Flora’s body. It was the same smell Angor once carried—the essence of Glutton Flower Lord.
Again, the gentleman wondered how Angor was doing.
“I need to buy something in Floating Mech City,” Sunders said. He then decided to add something else, “I think something wrong happened to the garden too. I need to check it out.”
