He had taken Pulapa aside earlier precisely to ask Pulapa to help him inquire about this matter.
If he could find a demon that could temporarily shield the curse, then the predicament he was facing could be easily solved.
While Angel silently hoped that Pulapa would succeed, an anomaly once again appeared throughout Lassudral—mystical patterns of fire appeared in the deep night.
It was as if a kind of ethereal flame was burning the night itself.
The moment the anomaly appeared, the sky over Lassudral filled with demons searching for the source of the phenomenon. However, they flew around aimlessly like headless flies, and in the end, they still couldn’t locate the origin of the anomaly.
Meanwhile, Angel, watching this “flame-scorched night,” was stunned.
The phenomenon before his eyes bore an astonishing resemblance to the painting of “Night” in the Hunting Museum. It was as if the world in the painting overlapped with the real one.
“What’s going on?” Angel couldn’t help but look in the direction of the Hunting Museum, “Could it be that the flames in the painting have completely obscured the night? Does the innkeeper intend to shed his shackles tonight and take that final step?”
At the same time, in one corner of Lassudral, within a hall burning with ghostly fire, a ball of fire and a fire-wielding demon draped in a red robe stood respectfully before a clump of ice-blue ghostly flame.
The ice-blue ghostly flame slowly expanded, eventually reaching a height of two to three meters.
As the flames began to take on a hint of green, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the ghostly flame.
Click—
A silvery boot stepped out of the ghostly flames onto the smooth floor, making a crisp sound. Soon, the owner of the boots also emerged from the ghostly flames.
As it fully appeared, the ice-blue ghostly flames gradually dissipated, eventually turning into a blue light that settled into the visitor’s eyes.
“Lord Aoluxiya,” as the newcomer stood firm, the fireball and the fire-wielding demon both bowed their heads.
The figure known as Aoluxiya was still radiating the glow of flames, obscuring its face.
Aoluxiya nodded without immediately responding to them, instead walking toward the side door of the hall. As Aoluxiya pushed open the side door, he immediately saw the pitch-black night outside and… the burning patterns of fire in the sky.
Gazing intently for a while, Aoluxiya’s lips curled into a slight arc.
“The Primeval Flame has finally appeared.”
The fire-wielding demon Tandin, who had followed Aoluxiya, respectfully said, “Lord Aoluxiya, the Primeval Flame has emerged from the owner of a Hunting Museum. Shall we go now?”
Aoluxiya looked at the sky where the patterns of fire flickered intermittently and said indifferently, “There’s no rush, not yet the time. Currently, the Primeval Flame is still in its gestation phase, let’s wait a while longer.”
Since Aoluxiya said so, they naturally had no objections.
After a while, Aoluxiya turned to look at the fireball, “Greerwu, you seem unhappy?”
The fireball was none other than the young fire demon Greerwu, who turned its head and mumbled unclearly, “No.”
Aoluxiya looked at the somewhat awkward Greerwu and smiled, “Since there’s still some time before the Primeval Flame emerges, shall I go take a look at that store you’ve been talking about?”
Greerwu immediately turned its head, its lackluster eyes going wide, “Really?”
Aoluxiya nodded.
Greerwu burst into a smile, and the flames that were somewhat listless before now began to swell.
The fire-wielding demon Tandin, however, expressed concern, “Lord Aoluxiya, you have come alone this time, we best not add further complications…”
Aoluxiya replied, “Don’t worry, I am just very curious why Fafnir and the emissary of Odeclass would come to open a store in Lassudral.”
As he spoke, pieces of frost white dragon scales appeared out of nothing in front of Aoluxiya. Aoluxiya, looking at the scales, said softly, “Moreover, Binaqionse owes me a favor. I also want to know how Binaqionse is doing now.”
After speaking, Aoluxiya stretched out his hand and folded the dragon scale back into his palm.
“Let’s go, I want to see what magic that shop has that made Greerwu remember it so vividly.”
