The Sage Dominator has a suspicious nature; Angel did not provide a clear answer, and he could not determine whether the Magic Rune Scroll was crafted by Angel.
Therefore, The Sage Dominator could only inwardly sigh helplessly at this moment.
Not getting the desired answer, The Sage Dominator could only accept it. However, regarding the Sunlight Sanctuary, there were still some questions that neither Vay nor the Black Earl had mentioned earlier.
This time, he did not use an encrypted channel to contact Angel, but directly looked down at Angel and asked, "I want to know, can the Sunlight Sanctuary move? If no one uses it, will it remain on the duel platform forever?"
The Sage Dominator’s question made even Dox’s heart skip a beat.
Right, if no one uses the Sunlight Sanctuary and it can’t move, isn’t it going to stay here forever? Wouldn’t that be giving The Sage Dominator a free advantage?
Thinking of this, Dox also hurriedly looked at Angel.
If it can move, he could take the Sunlight Sanctuary elsewhere, sell tickets at high prices, and make a fortune, couldn’t he?
However, Dox was overthinking it, and his thoughts hadn’t even fully turned around.
Angel smiled and said, "Honorable Judge, you asked the crucial question. The essence of the Sunlight Sanctuary is to bring faith and civilization to a dark and ignorant world. If it could move freely, wouldn’t the pilgrims have to change their pilgrimage direction every day?"
The Sunlight Garden is the same. If the garden moved, would the flowers and grass inside also move with it?
Therefore, once the Sunlight Series scrolls are activated, they cannot move. Once the Sunlight Sanctuary is opened, it is fixed in place.
Upon hearing Angel’s answer, Dox looked utterly disappointed.
At this moment, The Sage Dominator finally said to Dox, "I am indeed interested in the Sunlight Sanctuary, but you heard..."
The Sage Dominator paused and didn’t continue.
Dox assumed he understood The Sage Dominator’s meaning, thinking The Sage Dominator wanted to take advantage without paying. While cursing inwardly, he pretended not to understand at all, saying, "So, does this mean the Sunlight Sanctuary will remain here? If it stays here forever, shouldn’t the price be higher?"
Upon hearing Dox’s absurd remarks, who knows what others thought, but The Sage Dominator looked at Dox with an amused smile.
The Sage Dominator had originally wanted to enlighten Dox, but seeing Dox’s stubbornness, The Sage Dominator couldn’t be bothered to say more, simply saying, "I won’t shortchange you... As for the compensation, when you come to my place later, I will give you options. For now, let’s focus on the duel."
Dox’s face lit up with joy, although he didn’t know what options The Sage Dominator would offer him, at least there was now something to look forward to.
After saying this, The Sage Dominator snapped his fingers lightly, and the place where the Sunlight Sanctuary had been located was suddenly isolated by a larger light shield.
Outside this light shield, there was a conspicuous narrow path.
This setup could prevent interference with the battle and wouldn’t damage the location of the Sunlight Sanctuary.
After doing all this, The Sage Dominator added, "Before the next duel, I can give you a few more minutes. Decide for yourself what you want to do. Also, let me remind you, don’t be deceived by words; any verbal gift from anyone comes with a hidden price. This includes fate, and is also true for man-made promises."
After saying this, The Sage Dominator glanced in Angel’s direction and then closed his eyes, entering a pretend slumber.
Dox didn’t grasp The Sage Dominator’s meaning, and as he pondered deeply, a voice suddenly resonated by his ear.
"Red Sword Wizard, I wonder if we can enter the Sunlight Sanctuary. I will cover all the costs."
Dox turned back to discover that it was the Gray Merchant speaking.
Faced with the Gray Merchant’s request, Dox hesitated.
They didn’t have much animosity towards the Merchant Organization. According to The Sage Dominator, this duel was instigated by that "she" from behind the scenes.
Therefore, if the Gray Merchant could pay the price, it was acceptable to him.
However, the duel was about to commence.
Dox was well aware of the Sunlight Sanctuary’s restorative powers on the body; it could even heal hidden ailments and hard-to-detect wounds within the Spirit Sea.
Bloodline Wizards were most likely to have hidden ailments in their physical bodies.
If the Gray Merchant healed the chronic ailments on his body, wouldn’t that disadvantage Angel in the upcoming battle?
Moreover, the other side had more apprentices than theirs. If those apprentices also unlocked their potential, how would they cope?
Precisely because of these considerations, Dox felt very hesitant inside.
If Dox refused outright, the Gray Merchant wouldn’t say anything. However, seeing Dox’s evident hesitation, the Gray Merchant quickly understood his thoughts.
Thinking of this, the Gray Merchant added, "This can be discussed after the duel ends."
Upon hearing this, Dox quickly wanted to agree. But at that moment, Angel’s voice came through the Mind Ribbon.
"After the duel, if they are gravely injured, the effect of the Sunlight Sanctuary will be significantly depleted. Thus, if you genuinely wish to agree with them, it’s best to let them enter now."
Angel made this suggestion because The Sage Dominator had promised Dox compensation. This compensation was apparently determined by the total remaining effect of the Sunlight Sanctuary.
If the Gray Merchant and others excessively depleted it, could they possibly offer compensation equivalent to that proposed by The Sage Dominator?
This was a deeper layer of consideration that Dox needed to ponder.
"If I let them in first, won’t that put tremendous pressure on you during the duel later?" Dox hesitated for a while before voicing his concerns.
Hearing Dox’s worries, Angel suddenly fell silent, only speaking after a while, "Don’t worry about us, if I can lend you a trump card, I naturally have other trump cards."
As for the apprentices, they weren’t sure they could win against the other side, but having a trump card increased their chances, so a slight improvement didn’t matter much.
Upon considering this, Dox finally made up his mind.
He said to the Gray Merchant, "I can agree with you, and no need to wait until after the duel. However, if you let that Tentacle Monster enter the Sunlight Sanctuary, the cost will be higher than for the others."
