Chapter 1267: Meeting Baroque Again

The people in the audience gradually dispersed.

At this time, Baluba turned back, lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in his eyes: "David is probably still backstage now, should we go over to find him now?"

Angel nodded and walked towards the audience with Baruba without saying anything along the way. He knew very well that with Baluba's character, instead of comforting him and embarrassing him by exposing his scars, it was better to pretend not to see it and leave him a garden to lick his wounds alone.

In many cases, opening the scar may allow the old scab to disappear and new flesh to grow again. But the premise of all this is that you have a way to solve the old scars. If not, opening the scars will only add new wounds to the old ones.

The contestants' backstage and the auditorium are not connected. If they want to enter, they can only jump into the ring aisle.

As soon as they jumped, they were stopped by two staff members wearing Sky Tower uniforms.

"This is the player area, non-players are not allowed to enter."

Baluba thought for a while and took out a crystal clear card from his pocket. After seeing it, the staff looked at each other and said, "Seventh floor authority."

Although some people were confused as to how the players who were already on the seventh floor could come to the fourth floor, Baluba obviously complied with the rules for entering. They nodded and indicated that Baluba could enter.

After releasing Baluba, they looked at Angel again.

"This gentleman can go in, but if you want to go in, you also need to show the player's identity card."

Angel naturally has an identity card, but if he takes it out, his shameful name will be exposed. He hesitated again and again, and even when the staff had secretly decided to kick him out, he still took out his ID card.

However, Angel held it very cleverly, and his fingers just covered the name.

The staff originally thought that Angel was not qualified to enter, but when they took a closer look, they discovered...the fact was even more shocking than they imagined.

"Fifteenth floor... authority! You, are you a Sky Tower clearer?"

Angel nodded noncommittally and took back his ID card pretending to be impatient: "Is it time to get out of the way?"

The staff had some doubts in their hearts. They basically had an impression of the people who cleared the Sky Tower. Is this really the person who cleared the level? But the ID card is real...it would be nice if I could see the name.

After all, the staff did not make things difficult for them. Even if Angel took someone else's ID card, it was still his fault. As low-level staff, they are not qualified to stop it.

I walked into the contestants' backstage smoothly. The contestants' backstage was very lively. After all, every level is a ten-party arena. Those waiting for the game, about to compete, or the game is over are all here.

Although people come and go, they don't need to use their naked eyes to find people. Angel quickly locked onto an aura and walked over with Baruba.

David was sitting in a corner, wiping the goggles on his forehead with a rag.

When he was wiping the mirror of his goggles clean, he suddenly felt a shadow covering him. When he looked up, he saw Baluba. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "You can't say it, don't you?"

"He came with me." Angel stepped forward at this time. David looked at this somewhat familiar depressed middle-aged face, seemed to remember something, and asked in disbelief: "Are you, Angel?"

Angel reached out and touched his face. His facial features seemed to have rippled, and finally returned to their original state.

Although his true face was not revealed, the ripples showed that the middle-aged man in front of him was a mask.

And David happened to remember that Angel had used this face to find him!

In addition, the person who can make Baruba change his stubborn temper and come to the Sky Tower is undoubtedly the person he respects the most, so the answer is self-evident.

"Great, you're finally back!" David hugged Angel excitedly.

"In the past few months, there has been no news from the Abyss. This is too abnormal. I thought you were there for a while... Now that I see you coming back, I feel relieved!"

After getting excited, David looked at Angel suspiciously: "Why do I feel something is different about you?"

"Is there any?"

"Although it's just an illusion, there is still something different, but I can't tell where exactly." David glanced at Baluba: "What do you think?"

"Blood energy, blood energy is very strong." Baluba replied. In fact, when he first met Angel in the alchemy shop not long ago, Baluba felt an almost oppressive blood energy. However, Angel later restrained himself a lot.

"It seems like this..." David nodded hesitantly. After a pause, he sighed: "I have been forced to practice by my mentor every day recently. I thought I was the most diligent in my life. I thought I would be closer to you, but I didn't expect that you would pull me apart so much. Sure enough, the salted fish should be hung on the tree trunk to dry in the sun."

David looked helpless.

Angel didn't offer any comfort either, because he knew very well that any words of comfort now would be like adding salt to David's wounds.

David muttered for a long time, even attracting frequent glances from nearby players. Only then did David put away his frustrated mood: "My game is over today, let's go back to the store to talk."

"That's just right, I need to buy some magic materials." With David here, even if some magic materials are very precious, they can still go to Prome or Liana to exchange them through him.

David nodded angrily: "I knew you wouldn't come to me on your own initiative. Let's go."

They walked towards the exit for the contestants, from where they could take the cable car to the platform closer to the alchemy shop. As they walked, David kept talking to Angel about recent events.

He was basically complaining, saying that Lianna forced him to train every day. It was rumored that he was studying a new alchemy project recently, so he didn't make many Tang swords, but that was not the case. He was forced to train, and alchemy was only a part of it. More importantly, it was to improve his own strength.

Although his tone was complaining, Angel could hear that David was not opposed to this kind of training. Lianna valued him, so she would urge him to practice every day. If he was as indifferent as Flora treated Baruba, it would really mean that he had been abandoned.

When he walked all the way to the exit, Angel unexpectedly saw two familiar faces.

"Now that Diablo is gone, there is no point in Sky Machine City. Staying here, you can still listen to the teacher's teachings." The speaker was a middle school boy with skull accessories all over his body, who was the one who sat next to Angel before.

And standing in front of him was an old man with pigtails.

When Angel saw the old man, his pupils shrank slightly.

He was not unfamiliar with this old man.

Baroque, the real person in charge of the Sky Tower in the underground market.

From the tone of the middle school boy, this Baroque seemed to be his mentor? Moreover, he mentioned Diablo, the disciple of Bogula. From his tone, he seemed to know Shadow?

Angel glanced at them. Although he was a little confused, he did not stop and walked directly to the exit with David.

However, just as he passed Baroque, Baroque called out: "Wait."

David stopped and looked back at Baroque in confusion: "Are you calling us?"

Baroque did not look at David, but looked straight at Angel, looked him up and down, and then smiled and said: "Long time no see."

The middle school boy glanced at Angel: "You are not the one just now..."

He wanted to say country bumpkin, but looking at the mentor Baroque, he seemed to know him?

"Mr. Baroque." Angel said calmly, "It's been a long time since we last met. I remember that when we last met, you and Director Melansha were planning to have the parasitic mother kill me. Now, Director Melansha is said to have returned to the Sky Mechanical City. I didn't expect Mr. Baroque to stay here."

Although Angel's response was calm, everyone present could hear the sarcasm in his tone.

The middle school boy couldn't believe that Angel would speak to his mentor in this tone!

There was a silence.

Everyone thought Baroque would be angry, but after a while, Baroque smiled and said, "Isn't this a misunderstanding? Everything is over."

Baroque's attitude surprised the middle school boy even more. Why did the mentor directly agree and seem to be submissive? Who is this middle-aged man who looks sloppy and depressed?

Angel didn't expect Baroque to be so calm. What he said just now actually meant to anger Baroque.

It seems that there is no benefit in angering Baroque. Not to mention that he can't beat Baroque, it may even implicate Baruba and David. But in fact, it was not so. When he separated from Sanders, he could vaguely feel the gaze of the tree spirit.

Angel knew very well that the wizards in the Savage Cave did not like the foreign resident wizards, such as Baroque, and tried every means to drive him out. But there was no excuse before, and they did not often pay attention to Baroque.

But if Baroque dared to take action under the watchful eyes of the tree spirit, let alone hurting people, as long as he had the idea of ​​taking action, the tree spirit could directly expel him, and the reason was very legitimate.

However, Baroque's reaction was an attitude of not starting a dispute.

Angel could see that since Baroque had given in, no matter what words he used to ridicule and provoke, he might not succeed. Even, it would appear that he was making trouble.

In this case, Angel did not want to stay any longer. His hostility towards Baroque was actually greater than that of the unknown Xi Lengding. If you don't like it, then don't see it.

"Let's go." Angel turned around and wanted to leave with David.

At this time, Baroque suddenly took out a light red card: "This is an anonymous new star qualification certificate, with which you can enter the Endless Corridor. Just consider it as my compensation to you, how about it?"

Baroque's sudden statement made the middle school boy look at Angel with more strange and suspicious eyes: he himself did not have the qualification of a new star, and even thought about whether he should stay by the mentor's side and pray for one, but the mentor gave it to this person?

Who is he?

Why is the mentor's attitude so strange?

The middle school boy wanted to ask, but at this time, Angel turned to look at Baroque and took out something from his bracelet: "With this, you should be able to enter the Endless Corridor, right?"

Baroque looked at the thing in Angel's hand, his throat moved, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed surprise: "This is... from the Research and Development Institute..."

Baroque was silent, and Angel said nothing more, but turned around and left.

It was not until Angel left that the middle school boy asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Teacher, who is he?"

Baroque did not answer, but sighed softly: "I should have listened to Melantha at the beginning and should have considered it more carefully before making a decision. A small mistake did not expect to lead to the current situation. Now it is difficult to make up for the relationship."

After a pause, Baroque turned his head and looked at the middle school boy.

"Who is he? Didn't you come to the Savage Cave just to see him?"
