Chapter 885 Return to the Ruins
After diving into the dark Sina Trench and traveling for a while, I finally saw the extremely beautiful underwater city.
The last time I came to Lloyds, it was still vivid in my mind. Angel had never expected that he would find it again so soon.
After successfully blending into the waterless area, Angel quickly walked to the location of the Peace Tower.
He held a gray card in his hand, on which a row of words were engraved with a special technique: Ash Time.
He had thought that he probably wouldn't be able to use this card, but he didn't expect to make an exception so soon. Angel shook his head and walked into the shadow abyss area of the Peace Tower.
Although the abyss area was still full of sin and blood like last time, Angel completely ignored all external factors and headed straight to the ruins where the Ash Time Caravan was located.
In the endless silence, Angel arrived at the ruins smoothly.
The ruins had not changed much, and were similar to the last time I came, but there were fewer iron cages, fewer guests who were commenting in front of the iron cages, and also fewer members of the Ash Time Merchants wearing black cloaks.
Angel walked around the ruins with the card, but did not see anyone.
Biers said that someone would contact him here for a long time, but it seemed that this was not the case.
Angel sighed. Why did he believe the words of a slave trader? Fortunately, this place is not too far from the Revelation Continent, and not too much time was wasted.
As for the materials he wanted, it seems that he can only think of another way... or take Du Lu back to the Fan Continent first?
Angel walked out while thinking. Just as he was about to pass through the narrow alley and leave the ruins, he saw a spark of light flashing at the end of the alley, and the spark was getting closer and closer to him.
The sound of "da da da" footsteps came to his ears.
When the light source above the ruins illuminated the visitor in the alley, Angel's expression paused.
This is a man smoking a pipe, and the flickering sparks are the flames from his pipe. He is wearing a black cloak, but the hood on his head has been taken off, revealing an extremely terrifying face.
His face is completely covered by a kind of lizard scales, and his right eye is a vertical pupil like a snake.
"Mr. Rossam, we meet again." Angel recognized the identity of the visitor, who was the deputy leader of Ash Time and the one who took the initiative to receive him.
"Is it you?" Rossam was stunned, with no expression on his face, but he was a little excited in his heart.
At the beginning, he told Captain Bills that he would stay here for the next ten years just to build a good relationship with Angel. He had already prepared for the situation of nothing in the next ten years, but he didn't expect that Angel would take the initiative to find him just after a month!
"It's me." Angel nodded to him politely and took out the gray card to show his intention.
Rossam suppressed his excitement and took the gray card: "Dear guest, do you want to... buy a batch of materials?"
Angel nodded: "Because it is really urgent, I was thinking whether you can bring it to me. If not, I can only go back to Fan Continent by myself."
"Of course no problem!" Rossam answered without hesitation, for fear that Angel would suddenly regret it again.
Perhaps because his answer was too fast, Angel looked over in confusion. Rossam coughed twice and said: "What I mean is that as long as it is a material on the market, even if it is a precious magic material, it is possible for us to help guests find it through the channels of our business travel group."
"Including potions to restore mental strength?" Angel raised his eyebrows.
Facing Angel's teasing, Rossam shrugged: "We really tried our best to get Ms. Xilai's goods last time. However, if you are a guest, we will help you even if we ask the master of pharmacy."
Angel turned his head to look at Rossam: "Last time I came, I felt that your attitude was a bit too eager. Do you know me?"
Rosam nodded and admitted generously.
"Master Angel's name is now very popular in the Southern Region. I also have many magazines in my hands, and I have opened a special column to introduce you."
Angel did not go back to the Fan Continent for his sudden rise in fame, so he has not felt it clearly. Instead, he got some details from Neia, Rossam and the previous Midnight Witch.
"You'd better not call me Master. I can't bear this title." Angell knew very well that he was still far from the level of Master Midora. Being called Master at this time was basically the same level as Prometheus, and it felt like a monkey calling the king: "Just call me Angell."
Rosam was delighted. Calling him by his name directly, does it mean that the relationship has also been shortened?
"I wonder what materials Angell needs this time? I will report to the leader immediately and prepare the goods for you as soon as possible." Rossam hurriedly hit the snake with the stick.
Angel: "Can you contact Captain Bills?"
Rosam nodded: "Our business travel group has its own information transmission channel."
Angel did not explore what this transmission channel was, but asked: "Then even if you are here, you can know the news from the outside world? For example, the news of Fan Continent?"
Rosam nodded in response: "Do you want to know what news? If it is the news of the public, I can tell you for free."
"News from the abyss, free?"
Rosam paused: "That depends on how much you ask. If it's just an introduction to the Abyss, I can explain it at any time. But if you want to ask about the details of Mr. Monkey's plan, it may cost some consulting fees."
"You actually know Mr. Monkey's plan?" Angel was a little surprised. It seems that the information channels of Ash Time are indeed very well-informed. "I don't have anything to know about these. I just want to know about my mentor's situation."
"What about the situation of the Master of Illusion? We don't know much about such specific things on the front line. But I heard that the Master of Illusion is very active on the front line."
Hearing Rossam's answer, Angel sighed. It seems that what the Midnight Witch said is right. Sanders did not come back.
Rosam seemed to think of something: "By the way, I got a message a few days ago that it seems that the Lord of the Void has also gone to the Abyss, and it seems that he is looking for the Master of Illusion."
"The Void" is Su Mishi's nickname.
Angel had thought that if there was anything wrong with cutting off the interlayer space, he could ask for help from this fellow senior whom he had never met, but it seemed that there was no hope.
As for Flora, although she also had nightmares, it was a special case after all, and was controlled by Xiaohong. She herself was not an illusionist, so she was not of much help to Angel.
"It seems that it is impossible to ask for help from outside forces, and I can only try it myself." Angel thought to himself.
Rossam took him to the small room where he had traded with Captain Bills. Now this room has become more popular, with tables, chairs, food, and a bookshelf.
According to Rossam, he is now temporarily living here.
From Rossam's attitude towards him, Angel had roughly guessed the reason why he stayed here alone, but they both tacitly did not point it out.
"This is the list of materials I need." Angel handed Rossam a list, and in order to avoid any accidents, Angel wrote down the amount of materials for several more copies.
Because the main material, Realm Glaze, is a semi-finished product of alchemy, Angel can refine it by himself. So he basically bought virtual world concentrate. Although the price is much cheaper than Realm Glaze, the large quantity leads to a high total price.
Rossum originally hoped that Angel would ask for some precious materials. When they mobilized Ash Time, they would show Angel their channels and connections, and maybe they could get closer to him.
But after reading the list, he sighed in his heart. Although the overall value is indeed very high, the most expensive one is the "dilution of constant debris", but it is not rare.
"There is no problem with these things. Many of them have ready reserves." Rossum said.
Angel hurriedly asked, "When can it be delivered?"
Rosam looked at Angel's expression and thought, "If you need it urgently, you can ask Captain Biers to open up a plane channel and send it to you as soon as possible."
"Opening up a plane channel... won't it be too much trouble for Captain Biers?" Angel also knew that opening up a plane channel was actually a huge expense, and it also required specific spellcasting materials. Generally speaking, if there was no rush, wizards would rather fly slowly by themselves than take the plane channel.
"No, didn't Captain Biers say last time that he wanted to make friends with Angel? Since it was a request made by a friend, the captain would naturally not find it troublesome."
Angel roughly understood what Rossam meant. In fact, it was similar to Jebo who wanted to get closer to him with materials, but Rossam was more subtle.
Angel thought about it and felt that getting closer to a formal wizard was not a bad thing.
"Then I'd like to thank Captain Bills first. I'll provide the materials for the plane channel."
Not long after, Rossam contacted Bills through a special channel. After learning of Angel's request, Bills quickly agreed. However, it still takes some time to gather these materials.
Therefore, Angel stayed in Lloyds temporarily these days.
Rossam completely regarded himself as a guest and was very diligent in getting along with Angel. Angel did not refuse. In just a few days, the relationship between Angel and Rossam has grown a lot.
At least on the surface.
After staying in Lloyds for four days, Angel visited this magnificent and fantastic underwater city in detail, appreciated many different scenery from the ground, and tasted some deep-sea food. He had a very easy life.
It's just that because of Jon's matter, he couldn't let it go in his heart, so he felt a little guilty while relaxing.
Captain Bills came to Lloyds with the materials on the evening of the fourth day.
Perhaps knowing what Rossum had done, Captain Biers did not show too much courtesy, but politely handed the materials to Angel.
However, when Biers left, he left a message, asking Angel to ask him to help if he had any problem.
When Biers said this, he deliberately placed a green fruit in front of Angel.
This fruit, which was the size of an apple and exuded an illusory fragrance, was not unfamiliar to Angel. It was a crocodile-scented fruit produced in the Mi Le Swamp, and was used to refine a related magical plant for the potion to restore mental injuries.
Biers placed this fruit with deep meaning, which made Angel think of Eureka.
It seems that the interaction between him and Bree when they came last time caught Biers' attention.
Biers probably guessed that he and Bree's master might have a disagreement, so this happened. No wonder Eureka described Biers as a shrewd man.
However, although Biers hinted that he could help Angel deal with Eureka, Angel had no intention of doing so. At least for now, Eureka's attitude towards Jon is still good. If Biers finds Jon, Angel will not believe in the integrity of this slave trader.
After paying more than 50,000 magic crystals for the material fee, Angel left Lloyds.
