He looked up.
Without knowing when, Night, draped in a black cloak, had appeared in front of him.
…
On the first day of opening, Angel only earned eight Gold Coins.
He was now very anxious, as he was still a long way from gathering the materials he needed. Toby’s Frostsphere could only last another six days at most.
If his daily earnings continued like this, it would be extremely difficult for him to gather ten thousand Demon Gold Coins within six days.
Angel contemplated whether he should change his strategy.
What’s the fastest way to make money if he doesn’t stick to the straight path?
“Maybe I should coerce Lord Fafnir into robbing?” Angel seriously considered the feasibility of this plan. The fastest way to make money, after all, was through murder and robbery.
However, while he was quite willing to consider this option, Fafnir would probably not agree to it. Although Fafnir acted as if he was second only to Odeclass, the strongest in Demon City, in reality, according to what Baltica told him, Fafnir’s strength was currently around True Knowledge Level Three and not yet at his peak.
Lassudral, as an intersection between the superficial and deeper layers of the Abyss, appeared calm on the surface but was far from simple on the inside.
It was said that there were stable portals here allowing the major powers of the deeper levels of the Abyss to arrive with ease. Even the Abyssal Lords might personally visit.
Therefore, it was impossible for Fafnir to challenge the authority of Lassudral for Angel’s sake. And Angel’s own strength was not sufficient to support his ambitions either.
But if he didn’t take shortcuts, how could he quickly gather enough money?
Angel felt incredibly anxious. If he had enough time, he would even consider making money through Alchemy, even though it might expose his identity.
As Angel struggled with his thoughts, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the shop.
“Welcome…” Angel instinctively lit up with a smile, but when he saw the visitor, he stopped short, “It turns out to be Night.”
The visitor was clad in a black cloak trimmed with fire fur, revealing solid abdominal muscles underneath, as he wore no clothes inside. His face appeared fierce, partially due to one side bearing bright, burning Patterns; they were scorching his skin. If the patterns were to disappear, one could see that he was actually quite handsome.
The visitor was indeed Night, the curator of the Hunting Museum and also the Half-Blood Demon with Fire Transmission Demon Bloodline that Odeclass had instructed Angel to find in Demon City.
As it happened, after arriving in Lassudral, Night was the first one Angel found.
When he explained his purpose, Night replied bluntly, “I have the method for synthesizing the Fire Transmission Stone, but due to bloodline restrictions, I cannot tell you.”
After getting this answer, Angel was not surprised. Baltica had said before that the method for synthesizing the Fire Transmission Stone was tightly concealed by the Fire Transmission Demons; even if you killed them, you could not learn it. Moreover, because of the prohibitions tied to their Bloodline, even under soul interrogation, you couldn’t get the information you sought.
So, Angel was grateful that he had gone to see Baltica beforehand and acquired the parchment of uncertain origin.
After Angel mentioned having the synthesis method, Night was somewhat surprised, but when he learned Angel had traded for it with Baltica, he did not ask any further questions.
It seemed that Baltica held a very special status in the Abyss.
Later, when Angel learned that Night could use Hellfire and was also willing to help him, he finally put his mind at ease and devoted all his energy to the grand plan of making money.
