If it was said that the Ghosteye Witch refined them, Angel absolutely does not believe it.
The first bottle of fragrance has very little effect; perhaps the exceptionally talented Ghosteye Witch might be able to brew it up.
But the second bottle of fragrance, without the corresponding formula, it is impossible to refine. Even if there is a formula, where could the materials be found?
This Ghosteye Witch lives in such destitution, how could he possibly obtain the extraordinary materials needed to refine fragrance? Therefore, Angel personally leans towards the idea that someone else gave them to the Ghosteye Witch.
"Ordinary apprentices find it very difficult to reach the Hanging Jail Stairway. Daymouth just mentioned, no one has come here in recent years. So who refined these two bottles of fragrance, and who gave them to the Ghosteye Witch?"
After posing the question, Angel added: "As far as I know, the Dominator Daymouth spoke of is skilled in alchemy. And its location isn’t far from here."
Vay: "Now that you mention it, maybe only that person could refine fragrance?"
Dox: "So, the backing behind that Ghosteye Witch is that old monster who has lived for thousands of years?... No wonder, no wonder I vaguely felt that this Ghosteye Witch is suspicious."
Dox’s inspiration, it seems, was not wrong; dealing with this Ghosteye Witch might have consequences, which might refer to that existence?
Angel: "Maybe it is." Although he doesn’t know what relationship the Triclops Blue Demon has with this Ghosteye Witch, Angel currently thinks the only fragrance source is through the Triclops Blue Demon.
Dox: "Then what are you going to do now? Do you still plan to oppose the Ghosteye Witch?"
Angel: "I wasn’t opposing the Ghosteye Witch. I just want to take back that ornament, and I won’t take it for free."
Angel spoke while slowly simulating the appearance of the silver ornament in the illusion.
"I refined an exact replica using Mithril, and I plan to directly replace it at that time." Angel paused: "Compared to the ineffective ornament, the one refined with Mithril can at least provide some protective function of Mithril."
"Why are you obsessed with that ordinary material ornament? You could just refine one to take back, wouldn’t it be the same?" Dox said.
Angel was silent for a moment: "It’s different in meaning."
"So, you’re still planning to continue?" Dox didn’t care about the meaning; he wanted to know what Angel would do next.
This time, Angel didn’t give a definitive answer but glanced back at Earl Mi, still hugging with two armored Ghosteye Witches, and softly said: "...Pending."
If Earl Mi can forcibly drag other Ghosteye Witches into cultivation, Angel still plans to give it a try.
But if Earl Mi can’t do it, then... forget it.
Angel doesn’t want to waste too much time here or offend that old monster over something trivial.
Dox: "Pending? Looks like you’re still considering it. Alright, figure it out yourself. You have backing, and Black Earl is here, I’m also free, so there shouldn’t be major issues. Even if there is a problem, you can put these two apprentices into your bracelet, and we can just run. It should be fine."
Angel: "Thank you... However, it probably won’t come to running."
Angel won’t do things that he’s completely unsure of. If Earl Mi can’t pull other Ghosteye Witches into cultivation, he won’t test the dangerous waters.
Besides, it’s not time to reveal all the cards yet.
"This live demonstration ends here; I’ll close the screen now." Angel said as he prepared to operate the illusion node.
However, at this moment, two voices simultaneously sounded in the Mind Ribbon.
One from Dox, the other from... Kaier.
Angel paused his hand, puzzled, and asked: "Why, is there something else you want to see? If you want to see this cell, I can only show a bit or use a minimized aerial perspective to display it."
Dox didn’t immediately answer Angel but first asked Kaier: "Kaier, do you have anything?"
Kaier: "No, nothing, just a bit of curiosity. You go ahead, don’t mind me."
"Strange." Dox muttered and then said to Angel: "I don’t have anything to see, you just mentioned, live demonstration? What kind of coined word is that?"
Actually, the Wizards’ Realm also has the concept of live broadcasts, like during the New Star Competition when the streets were filled with light screens, and commentators spoke passionately. Some auctions, due to insufficient interior space, set up large light screens outside to allow outsiders a chance to bid simultaneously with the inside.
Though the concept exists, it hasn’t yet formed a system.
Moreover, the word "live demonstration" and its coining rules are completely different from the Wizards’ Realm. Angel understands it easily, thanks to Jon’s education, as he mastered two entirely different language systems. Others having doubts is very normal.
Angel: "Don’t mind it; it’s a temporary name I gave to this real-time demonstration."
"Really? Live demonstration... sounds strange." Dox murmured, then said: "However, your real-time demonstration is quite interesting, especially the part about the fragrance bottle, worth keeping saved."
Angel: "Thanks for the compliment. Anything else?"
Dox: "I’m done."
Angel: "And Kaier? Do you have anything?"
Kaier hesitated before speaking: "Master, I just feel that small crown..."
"Do you want it? I can bring it out for you." Angel immediately offered.
Kaier quickly said: "No, it’s just that, the small crown, and the silver ornament you just simulated during... live demonstration, the color looks quite similar. And also, the size seems to match; might there be a connection?"
Kaier quickly offered his thoughts then said: "It’s just a small guess of mine, probably wrong. Don’t mind, don’t mind..."
Kaier seemed afraid Angel would think he’s stupid and scold him, muttering to himself.
Angel had no such intention, instead intrigued by Kaier’s idea.
Before, he didn’t think the crown and ornament were connected, but now that he thinks about it, the colors do seem a bit similar? And the sizes might match nicely?
