Chapter 3144: Long-Distance Mission
The reason is also very simple.
In the picture of "Eye of Doom", Angel saw a red streamer surrounding the bleeding sky. This streamer he had seen on Frost's companions.
Frost did not go to the Box of Reincarnation alone. There was a mysterious hunter named Zorn with him.
And there is a mysterious thing on Zorn, which looks like a red scarf, exactly like the ribbon in the Doomsday Eye scene.
From this, Angel determined that the location of the Doomsday Eye was the small space of the Box of Reincarnation.
Although Angel judged that the Doomsday Eye occurred in the Box of Reincarnation, he was unable to judge at the time why the apprentices of the Rising Stars were in the Box of Reincarnation.
But now, he seems to understand.
It was not the apprentices of Nova Sai who fell into the Box of Reincarnation, but the mission issued by the Sky Tower that summoned them into the Box of Reincarnation.
Thinking of this, Angel felt a little strange.
When Lord Rosen and Dean Muse decided to send people to station in the Ancient Asia Realm, Angel once reminded him very solemnly: It is okay to station near the Ancient Asia Realm, but absolutely do not step into the Box of Reincarnation, because that It is a place where even legendary wizards would easily perish.
Looking at it now, they should have listened to this sentence. Just because they don't step into the box of reincarnation doesn't mean they can't let others in.
And the people who were deceived this time were undoubtedly the apprentices who had taken the mission.
"You seem to have other ideas about the mission issued by the Sky Tower?" Portia noticed that Angel kept frowning, especially after hearing the content of the mission, not only did he frown even more, but his expression It's getting weirder and weirder.
Angel smiled sarcastically: "I don't have any idea, I just think that Sky Machinery City is addicted to cheating apprentices."
"Oh?" Portia raised her eyebrows and looked at Angel.
Angel said calmly: "The number of apprentices who purified the garden pit last time was not enough. Are you planning to bury new pits during the long journey this time?"
Portia didn't understand what Angel meant at first, but now, she somewhat understands.
She remembered that Angel went to the Purification Garden the first time he came. And that time, the purification of the garden did deceive many apprentices. Looking at this mission, although Portia doesn't know the specific details, she can guess that these apprentices who were summoned will most likely enter reincarnation. box.
Once you enter the box of reincarnation, life or death is unpredictable.
From Angel's perspective, this is indeed like a newly dug hole in Sky Machinery City, and it is also designed to trap apprentices.
It was nothing more than that Angel would show a sarcastic expression.
However, Portia still knew some inside information about this long-distance mission. The pit was indeed a pit, but it was not as big as the sinkhole like the last purification garden.
She thought for a while and decided to help: "There are actually some hidden secrets in this mission, and it is not entirely a trap for the apprentice who took the mission. If you are interested, you can ask Antonio later. He knows the deeper inside story."
Angel nodded and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, he looked at Dong Lizi beside him: "Did your sister ask you to take the long-distance mission?"
Dong Liz nodded.
Angel: "Why does your sister have to take this long-distance mission?"
In other words, what did Galatea "see"? Let her still let Dong Liz take over this task even though she knew that the mortality rate of this task was extremely high.
Lizzie Dong: "Because there is my opportunity there."
"Opportunity?" Angel and Portia both looked at Dong Liz in confusion.
"Yes, sister told me that my opportunity to advance is right there, so I must go." When Dong Lizi said this, her expression fell, and she said in a somewhat aggrieved tone: "However, the specific promotion My sister can’t tell what the reason is… maybe I can get a lot of heads and hats there? I can only go there and see step by step.”
To put it bluntly, Dong Lizi took on this task entirely motivated by profit.
Galatea "saw" the opportunity to advance, so even though she knew that the long-distance mission was extremely dangerous, she decided to let Dong Liz take over the mission.
As for Galatea, it's normal that she can't see what the "opportunity to advance" is. The Box of Reincarnation is a mysterious thing, and it is a disordered mysterious thing. Under the cover of the mysterious aura, it is already very good to be able to sense the "opportunity to advance", but it is basically impossible to predict further.
Angel believed in what Lizzie said, because subjective initiative is based on profitability. The opportunity to advance is Dong Lizi's biggest interest at the moment.
"For the next question, I need you to paraphrase your sister's answer. Why does she think the hat I refined can reduce the mortality rate?" Angel continued to ask.
Dong Lizi looked at the air aside and muttered for a while, then turned to face the light screen and said: "Sister, I don't know either. But I am very sure that the hat made by Master Pat and Granny Nail will definitely improve the quality of the hat." My survival rate... My sister said, adults can understand that this is a prophecy. "
Dong Liz did not lie. Galatea did not know how to predict, but she was able to borrow the opportunity to ask questions from "Big Ben".
Galatea asked Big Ben many questions, but got no answers.
It’s not that Big Ben’s ability to foresee is poor, but that the mission is in a special location, making it difficult to predict the future.
In the end, Big Ben only answered two questions.
The first question is: the difficulty of this expedition.
The answer given by Big Ben is: a narrow escape from death.
The second question is: How to improve Dong Liz's survival rate?
The answer given by Big Ben is to ask Angel and Nail Granny to refine a hat... It doesn't have to be a hat. As long as it is contaminated with their breath, the survival rate can be improved to a certain extent.
Big Ben may know the specific reason, but He is not willing to elaborate.
However, Galatea is satisfied with this answer. Anyway, as long as she does what Big Ben says, Dong Liz will probably be fine. Dong Liz is fine, so she will be fine.
On the other hand, Angel didn't know the information that Dong Liz concealed, but he could vaguely guess why he and Nail Granny had to refine the hat?
The goal of the long-distance mission is the Box of Samsara.
What do he and Nail Granny have in common when the Box of Samsara is the main axis?
Angel can think of only one common point: Ivo Spreit.
Angel once went to the small space in the Box of Samsara through the Gate of Illusion, where he met Alex trapped in a cage. And Alex is actually Ivo who has lost his memory.
In that cage, Angel witnessed Alex's transformation.
In a sense, Angel is the only friend Alex made after he lost his memory.
The relationship between Granny Nail and Ivo cannot be defined as "friends". It is more subtle and intimate.
Angel and Granny Nail both have some kind of connection with Ivo.
And Ivo is the real creator of the Box of Samsara.
Although he is completely unable to control the disordered Box of Samsara now, considering his identity as the "chosen child", perhaps Dong Liz can improve her survival rate by staying with him after entering the Box of Samsara?
The answer to this question is obviously unconfirmed. But this is the only thing Angel can think of, the common point between him and Granny Nail on the Box of Samsara.
Angel did not say this guess, but just pondered for a moment, and continued to ask: "The last question, what does your sister want for the hat I made?"
At this point, they basically understood that as long as Galatea's request was not too excessive, Angel would most likely agree.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Dong Liz and Portia.
Let’s not talk about Dong Liz for now. Portia really hopes to get the material that Witch Xia Lu treasures. For her, this is no less than an opportunity for Dong Liz to advance.
Thinking of this, Portia couldn’t help but look at the side of Dong Liz. Although she couldn’t see Galatea, she knew that Galatea should be talking to Dong Liz at this time.
About two minutes later, Dong Liz said: "Sister’s request is a modified Xinan hat, not a pointed top, but a round top, and the brim should be widened, preferably wider than my skirt."
The skirt Dong Liz wore was a princess dress, and there was a skirt made of iron wire inside, which was even larger than the skirt... It was really hard for Ingres to imagine the beauty of this hat.
Are you sure this is a hat, not a table?
Also, the Xinan hat has changed its pointed top, isn’t it a bowler hat?
Dong Liz: "It's better to have a veil that can be hung down inside the hat. My sister doesn't like people to see her face."
Angel: ...Even if your sister doesn't have a veil, no one can see it!
Dong Liz: "The color of the hat should be darker, vermilion or black and gray."
Vermilion, gray and black, this is more like the color of the table. How about adding a teapot or a cup to the table... No, the hat?
Angel listened and complained in his heart.
Maybe Dong Liz's aesthetics are too advanced. Anyway, Angel didn't understand this kind of hat at all.
However, although Dong Liz's requirements are a bit weird, the appearance conditions are very clear. Angel doesn't have to be creative at all, which is good.
"After talking about the appearance, let's talk about the characteristics. What effect does your sister hope the hat can achieve?" Angel asked.
Only after knowing the characteristics of the hat can Angel consider what materials to use for refining.
However, what surprised Angel was that Dong Lizi shook her head and said, "You can choose materials to refine according to your own ideas, there is no limit on the effect... My sister's only request is that you must engrave your alchemical logo."
From the request made by Galatea, she did not value the effect of the hat, but the alchemical logo that belonged to Angel.
This also made Angel further confirm that the reason why Galatea chose him and the nail grandmother must be related to the wizard Ivo.
Ivo... that is, Alex, he has seen Angel's alchemical logo.
Angel used the power of nightmare to transform a dagger for Alex, and on that dagger, Angel engraved his own alchemical logo.
So, if Ivo met Dong Lizi in the box of reincarnation and saw her hat, he would probably guess that it was made by him.
However, even if Ivo really met Dong Lizi, what could he do to help her?
Ivo not only lost his memory now, but also had no energy left in his body, which was not much different from mortals.
When Dong Liz meets Ivo, who knows who will help whom.
Angel sighed and didn't think about it any further. The situation inside the Box of Samsara was too complicated, and he couldn't go there. There was no point in thinking too much.
"Any other requests?" Angel looked at Dong Liz.
Dong Liz shook her head: "No more."
Angel nodded and said thoughtfully: "I can help your sister refine this hat, but I also have a request that you and your sister must agree to."
Dong Liz turned her head to look at the "air", then turned back to Angel and nodded: "Sir, please speak."
Angel: "Anyone who recognizes the alchemy logo on the hat, for any reason, you are not allowed to do anything to them."
This request not only confused Dong Liz, Portia also looked at Angel with strange eyes.
She had an inexplicable feeling that Angel might already know the reason why Liz and Galatea were refining hats?
Dong Lizi looked back at her sister Galatea, and after making sure her sister nodded, she nodded to Angel and said, "Okay."
…
Dong Lizi left with satisfaction.
After Dong Liz left, Portia looked at Angel: "What do you think about Dong Liz's sister Galatea now?"
Angel shook his head.
He couldn't see Galatea, couldn't hear her voice, so he could have any idea.
It can even be said that he still has some doubts about the existence of Galatea.
"After all, I am separated by a light screen." Angel raised his eyes and looked at Portia: "Where is Ms. Portia? You are right next to Dong Liz, can you feel Galatea?"
Portia smiled self-deprecatingly: "If I can feel it, do I still need to ask you?"
"But, then again, this Galatea may really have some abilities that we can't imagine." Portia: "Even Witch Shalu is willing to clear the way for her. You can imagine the importance of her abilities."
"I can't see it anyway, and what abilities she has has nothing to do with me." Before meeting Dong Liz, Angel was still curious to see if Galatea would make any weird requests, but now He had roughly guessed the outline of the story, and most of his curiosity had naturally disappeared.
When Portia saw that Angel had no intention of talking about Galatea, she took the initiative to stop and changed the topic: "When you mentioned the alchemy logo before, I felt something was wrong with you. Did you guess it? What’s the reason why Galatea asked you to refine it?”
Angel shook his head: "There are just some scattered and unrelated guesses. It will take some time to sort out these ideas."
The implication is that even if he has a guess, he has no intention of saying it now.
Portia heard what Angel meant. Although she felt a little regretful, she did not ask further questions.
Angel: "Compared with Dong Lizi's situation, I'm actually more curious about the mission... Do Lord Rosen and Dean Muse know what they are doing? Why did they issue this mission?"
