"I wonder, esteemed elder, what do you know about the Void Travelers?"
The Observer glanced at Wang Wang opposite him and said softly, "Not much."
"Do the wizards of the Origin World not know much about Void Travelers either?" Angel was somewhat surprised.
The Observer nodded, "They rarely appear before humans, only distributed across the Void. Plus, they are few in number, highly capable of space teleportation, and given the vastness of the Void, it’s indeed difficult to spot them."
Angel glanced at the Observer, thinking to himself: Quite a diplomat when it comes to words.
What the Observer meant was "rare, timid, only knows how to run," but thanks to his embellishment, it didn’t sound so harsh.
At least, Wang Wang opposite didn’t catch the subtext in the Observer’s words.
Angel: "Have Void Travelers never appeared in the Origin World?"
The Observer: "Probably some have, but I haven’t seen any. However, I did hear about something. In the Phantom Spirit City of Gluz Deward, there seem to be Void Travelers."
The Observer paused as if recalling something, then looked up at Angel with inquisitive eyes.
Angel gently nodded in response to the Observer’s inquiry.
The Observer understood now. It turns out Wang Wang is interested in the Void Travelers of the Phantom Spirit City... No wonder, in the pure white chamber, it was so against Gluz Deward and Polo Ye.
Although the Observer understood perfectly, he didn’t show it because he still didn’t know what kind of cooperation Wang Wang wanted. If it required him to storm the Phantom Spirit City to save the Void Travelers... that wasn’t possible. Let alone the strength of Gluz Deward’s true form, there are quite a few citizens in the Phantom Spirit City whose power surpasses his. Going there would be like delivering vegetables to them.
"Do you know, esteemed elder, how many Void Travelers are there in the Phantom Spirit City?"
The Observer shook his head: "That, I’m not sure of. The Phantom Spirit City does not welcome humans, and even I have never been to the Phantom Spirit City."
Angel nodded, understanding that what the Observer knew wasn’t much different from what they knew. Anyway, the only thing that’s clear is that the Phantom Spirit City certainly has Void Travelers.
"Esteemed elder, from listening to this, you should know what Wang Wang wants to do, right?"
The Observer did not deny, after all, he had just exchanged a look with Angel: "It wants to save the same kind from the Phantom Spirit City?"
Angel nodded.
The Observer: "So, it hopes I can become its partner to help save its companions?"
Angel: "Yes, and no."
The Observer: "What do you mean?"
Angel: "The Phantom Spirit City is so dangerous, Wang Wang knows it won’t let the elder risk his life. It hopes that the elder can help it by devising a strategy and plan, using the bargaining chips in its hands to successfully rescue its companions."
The Observer didn’t look too pleased at first, because if he really had to storm the Phantom Spirit City, that would basically mean a dead end. But upon hearing Angel’s words, the Observer’s expression immediately returned to normal.
If it’s just about devising strategies and making plans, that’s not a problem.
"Making plans and devising strategies, that was your idea, wasn’t it?" The Observer suddenly spoke, looking at Angel.
Angel never thought he could hide it from the Observer. Among those present, Wang Wang was clearly an inexperienced Void shut-in, and Wang Wang was a Great Demon King who didn’t need to understand worldly matters. Only he could handle such delicate tasks. So, being detected by the Observer was just a matter of time.
Bringing it up first saved Angel from further explanations later.
"Can’t fool the elder." Angel nodded, "I suggested it, which is beneficial to the elder too."
After speaking, Angel winked at the Observer and glanced toward the Dalmatian.
The Observer immediately understood Angel’s hint.
Previously, Angel had said that to leave here, they must get the Dalmatian’s consent. At the time, Angel hadn’t explained how to get its consent.
It seems, this is it.
As long as they collaborate with Wang Wang, the Dalmatian should allow them to leave, and this might just be thanks to Angel’s matchmaking efforts.
Moreover, Wang Wang is under the Dalmatian’s command. Helping Wang Wang not only offers them a chance to leave, but possibly earns them the Dalmatian’s friendship. If that’s the case, it’s a great gain.
A being at the Great Demon King level like the Dalmatian doesn’t seem to be the type that kills indiscriminately. Befriending it only brings benefits with no downsides.
"I understand, I agree to become its partner."
Once the Observer agreed, Angel immediately took out the prepared contract terms, with the witness being the Dalmatian.
The terms were quite relaxed, similar to what Angel had described, without the Observer needing to risk life and limb, only requiring a most suitable and rigorous plan to be devised.
There were some additional clauses, such as not to harm Wang Wang, respect the Dalmatian, and so on... but those were trivial matters.
The Observer quickly signed the contract, witnessed by the Dalmatian, and the Observer dared not slack off.
"Now, can you first tell us what Wang Wang’s plan is?" The Observer was quite decisive; once the contract was signed, he immediately assumed the role of a partner.
"Wang Wang’s plan..." Angel sighed deeply as he spoke, "It doesn’t have much of a plan, just wants to threaten the two in the pure white chamber to find out the whereabouts of its companions, and then it’ll rescue them."
"This plan is quite... direct." The Observer almost said what was on his mind, "But the plan isn’t bad; as long as the strength is sufficient, you can directly crush through the Phantom Spirit City."
The Observer meant Wang Wang bringing the Dalmatian to crush the Phantom Spirit City, simple and easy, perhaps not even needing to threaten the two in the pure white chamber.
"It." Angel quietly pointed at the Dalmatian, "It is the ultimate trump card, and even for Wang Wang, inviting it pays a huge price. So, if possible, it’s best not to utilize it."
The Observer: "I see. Then tell me about the bargaining chips you have at hand, and I’ll combine them with my experience to see if I can make a plan."
"Not we, it’s you and Wang Wang." Angel reiterated that he would not participate in the rescue operation, this matter had nothing to do with him, he was merely a messenger. If he went to the Phantom Spirit City, it would be like sending warmth from a thousand miles.
"Alright then, what bargaining chips does Wang Wang have?"
Angel thought for a moment: "The divine avatars of Polo Ye and Gluz Deward’s divine thought, that counts as Wang Wang’s biggest bargaining chip."
