"So, you’re not here because Dangross called you, but because His Highness has something for me?" Angel asked.
Fei Spanrui shook his head, "His Highness has gained much in the World’s Harmony and hasn’t yet come out. It’s Dangross who asked me to come and help control its group of... little brothers."
Through Fei Spanrui’s explanation, Angel finally understood. It turned out Dangross knew its little brothers had somewhat troublesome personalities, so it asked its former subordinate, Fei Spanrui, to come and help keep watch.
Although Elemental Sprites have low spirit intelligence, it doesn’t mean they’re truly dim-witted. They have a desire to express, can receive external messages, but their comprehension and cognitive efficiency are very low. Coupled with their inability to speak, they appear particularly bewildered.
As a human, Angel certainly couldn’t discern the intentions of Elemental Sprites, but Fei Spanrui, as their kin, could understand these mischievous youngsters and control them to some extent.
Therefore, it was assigned to assist.
Angel just needed such an assistant because he couldn’t determine the potential of Elemental Sprites himself and had to rely on flame temperature and properties. If Fei Spanrui could manipulate the Elemental Sprites to unleash their talent abilities, a suitable target could be found more quickly.
Angel conveyed his needs to Fei Spanrui.
Fei Spanrui gave Angel a deep look, seemingly understanding what this human intended to do.
However, Fei Spanrui didn’t refuse, gathering its scattered thoughts and smiled while nodding, "No problem, I can have them exhibit their talent abilities. If you have other requests, feel free to tell me."
Since Fei Spanrui’s arrival, the Elemental Sprite that had stopped coming for a few hours started to appear again.
Apparently, the sudden absence of Elemental Sprites earlier was indeed the result of Dangross’s restraint.
With Fei Spanrui’s assistance, Angel witnessed many wonderful talent abilities.
For example, this Poisonfire Toad in front of him.
It had just arrived and was arranged by Fei Spanrui to display its talent ability.
This toad’s talent ability wasn’t traveling or treasure seeking, but—Poison Flame Swamp.
It could transform the five-meter radius around itself into fiercely burning poison fire, and as long as the toad lived, this poison fire was nearly impossible to extinguish. Whether by frost or gale, it was hard to quench the poison fire, the only regret being its limited range.
This was far more formidable than other poison fire creatures breathing poison flames, showing hints of a "domain" quality. As an elemental companion, it would definitely be a high-quality choice with great growth potential.
Even Angel was a bit tempted. Although poison fire as an ability wouldn’t benefit him much, if cultivated well, it could become a very formidable combat force.
However, after weighing the options, Angel decided to let it go. While strong combat forces were good, Toby and Earl Mi were sufficient, adding another seemed redundant. Rather than high combat power, he preferred a supportive one.
After the Poisonfire Toad left, several dozen more elemental creatures arrived one after another. Most were Elemental Sprites, but few were useful to Angel, and even those suitable had weak talent abilities.
They were not as promising as Dangross’s newly taken underling, the Flame Traveling Frog.
Nightfall arrived in the blink of an eye.
For the elemental creatures of the Region of Fire, there wasn’t much distinction between day and night, as flames burned everywhere and the sky was shrouded in thick smoke, making it hard to discern day from night.
Yet for newly born Elves, the night seemed to possess a magical quality, allowing them to rapidly gain energy while in deep sleep, so at night, Elemental Sprites almost all went into slumber.
Most of Dangross’s little brothers were Elemental Sprites, so Angel was somewhat relieved.
Having observed a whole day’s worth of little elves, Angel planned to rest inside.
Returning to the Illusionary Realm house, Angel first set up a small bed for Toby, then changed it into a themed fire-patterned pajama, and Toby obediently went to bed.
Angel also intended to take a short break before heading to the Wilderness of Dreams.
However, just as he was about to close his eyes, Earl Mi, merging with the ambient shadow, conveyed a thought to him.
The thought contained an image.
In the image, Fei Spanrui flew to the high skies outside the cave, gently waved its wings, and sparks floated out, drifting towards the volcano crater in the distance under an inexplicable breeze.
Previously, Angel might not have caught the subtlety in this scene.
But after Dangross’s explanations, he knew that flame beings could communicate using sparks with their kin, and Fei Spanrui was clearly transmitting a message.
Moreover, judging by the direction where the sparks were drifting, it was very likely being sent to Midir the Ghostfire.
Angel pondered deeply as he sensed the picture.
"Was it the desire for an elemental partner during the day, shown too overtly?"
Fei Spanrui likely was conveying intelligence, and the main subject of the intelligence must have been himself. He had done practically nothing all day apart from being an appreciator. Although Fei Spanrui said nothing, it obviously realized things weren’t right, probably having guessed Angel’s intentions.
So, it began conveying intelligence as Angel rested.
