These items were mostly Extraordinary Items, or materials, but they were all low-level, Angel glanced at them briefly before shifting his gaze.
But Dangross found a bottle of fire-red Quenching Concentrate among the tossed items, hugging it with joy.
Quenching Concentrate is an enhanced version of Quenching Liquid. Given Dangross’s fervor for Quenching Liquid, it was natural for it to fixate on Quenching Concentrate.
Angel looked at Dangross spinning around him and understood its intention.
"These are someone else’s things, if you want it, buy it yourself. I just gave you Magic Crystals, it should be enough to buy this bottle."
When Kaier returned, Dangross indeed traded for the bottle of Quenching Concentrate. Originally, Kaier didn’t want to take the money, considering this fire elf as Angel’s elemental partner, but Angel secretly communicated, telling him to accept it.
Kaier then accepted the Magic Crystals.
At this point, Dangross was also starting to understand the significance of Magic Crystals. Previously, it was vague about "money," but this transaction made it understand that Magic Crystals can buy things it likes.
And this was why Angel had Kaier proceed with the transaction. The Elemental Creatures of the Tidal World have a weak grasp of the concept of "value," but it’s not too late to start cultivating this understanding with Dangross.
Having dealt with Dangross’s matter, Kaier then brought out his secret weapon.
A wrinkled piece of parchment.
On the parchment, there was a faint spatial energy and a line of cryptic language unknown to Dox.
"This was written by my mentor. He said that as long as it’s shown to the Skinner magic box, it will understand."
Actually, there’s no need for Kaier to explain, everyone has already seen the effects.
Skinner Box’s scarlet eyes turned pure black upon seeing that parchment. Ignoring its menacing appearance, just those round, shiny black eyes alone, at first glance, they’re actually quite cute.
After watching the parchment, Skinner Box voluntarily opened its mouth filled with sharp teeth.
This time Kaier reached in with his hand to grab something, and Skinner finally didn’t bite him again.
After digging around in Skinner Box’s belly for a while, Kaier finally extracted a stack of well-preserved parchment.
A moment later, the parchment was spread out. The two meter square parchment directly occupied most of the table.
When Dox looked at the parchment, he understood the two things Kaier had mentioned earlier.
The first statement: "It’s fine if Lord Dox stays here, after all, he won’t understand it either."
It turned out to be true, he indeed couldn’t understand it, with various strange patterns making his eyes dizzy.
The second statement: "Because this blueprint might be dangerous if left outside, that’s why it’s kept in the box."
Indeed, merely spreading out this blueprint made Dox feel a faint swelling in his brow, his spiritual power had become disturbed, seemingly being relentlessly torn apart.
At first, Dox could remain calm, but the longer he stared at the blueprint, the stronger the discomfort in his spiritual power grew, showing signs of small ruptures.
Dox took several steps back, no longer staring at the blueprint, feeling slightly better.
On the other hand, Kaier was very quick-witted and had already retreated to the edge of the Earth Cavern as soon as the blueprint was spread out, clearly he had been a victim once too.
Contrarily, Angel was looking at the blueprint with a focused expression, seeming to show no signs of discomfort.
"Do you think he’s pretending or faking it?" Dox murmured softly.
Kaier, who was nearby, heard and quietly responded, "I think, since Mentor specifically sent Lord Chaowei, there’s surely a reason."
Dox glared at Kaier, "I wasn’t asking you, I was asking him."
Dox pointed at Dangross.
Dangross had also retreated to the edge at this point, tightly holding the tempering agent, while the little Sandworm curled on the back of his hand.
"Pretending or faking, it makes no difference. You better not try to use words to sabotage our relationship, I won’t heed you." Dangross, quite staunch, turned away, showing his hand’s back to Dox.
Dox could only shrug, continuing to look at Angel.
He just didn’t believe Angel’s spiritual power was unaffected, surely he’s pretending now. Estimating, it won’t be long before he scurries over.
However, half an hour later, Angel remained seated at the desk, studying the alchemy blueprint. Though occasionally frowning, he showed no signs of discomfort.
This made Kaier look at Angel with increasing admiration. Back then, even Mentor Esos only looked for half an hour before putting the blueprint away. The time Angel spent viewing it now was already equal to Mentor Esos!
No wonder he’s been called the most dazzling star in the Southern Domain in recent years!
Dox also felt a bit uneasy now, could Angel really be unaffected?
With doubts, Dox approached the table again, and upon looking down, that dizzying sensation returned.
Dox could confirm, this blueprint definitely possesses some form of attack targeting spiritual power... Yet why is Angel unaffected, or is his spiritual power resilient to such a degree?
Perhaps hearing Dox’s approaching footsteps, Angel finally lifted his eyes.
"Kaier, come here." Angel said while folding up the blueprint.
Once the blueprint was folded, that oppressive spiritual power vanished instantly, while Kaier ran quickly to Angel like an excited Husky, looking at Angel with a face full of admiration.
"I have some clues about this alchemy blueprint. I will first attempt to decipher the external alchemy patterns, to make the alchemy blueprint reveal itself. But before that, could you tell me where you discovered this blueprint?"
Kaier hesitated for a moment, seemingly unsure of whether to speak.
Angel: "You don’t have to say if you don’t want to, I just wish to know if you found it in a maze."
Maze? Dox looked at Angel suspiciously, does Angel know the origin of this thing?
Kaier raised his head in surprise, "How did you know, sir?"
