"I’ve already taught it to understand this gesture, so you can try it out."
Angel glanced at the light purple Void Traveler. It noticed Angel’s gaze and, although it displayed fear, it did not retreat. It seemed braver than the other Void Travelers outside.
Angel didn’t make the gesture because Wang Wang was so confident; it must have already explained everything beforehand.
"Entering the network is fine, but I’ll also need to give it other tasks from time to time, and these tasks are hard to communicate with a single gesture." Angel attempted to persuade once more.
"Other tasks? What tasks?" Wang Wang asked, puzzled.
"I have no idea when the Dalmatian will contact me, so it has to stay outside and can’t be hidden, right?"
Wang Wang nodded.
"And if it stays outside, problems are likely to arise. In the human world, you are known as Void Travelers and are very rare. Many human wizards are interested in you, and seeing a Void Traveler beside me might lead to them trying to seize it."
"To protect it, I’ll certainly have to give it different commands, and what if it doesn’t understand them? Even if I want it to gather, I need to issue different commands based on the current environment, which it may still not understand."
"This is just one scenario, and reality often presents a mix of complex situations. Just like you wandering in the void, you can’t always have smooth sailing and might occasionally have to detour due to disasters."
"When unexpected situations arise, I may not always be able to protect it smoothly..."
What Angel said was mostly fabricated. Even if he left the Void Traveler outside, he could use illusions to hide its form, preventing others from discovering it. So many of these situations were unlikely to occur; even if something dangerous happened, it probably wouldn’t involve the Void Traveler. After all, no one in the Wizards’ Realm knew its value.
The reason for these statements was purely based on the fact Wang Wang didn’t understand humans, playing on the difference in information.
After hearing Angel’s words, Wang Wang thought there was some truth to them. However, it believed there was a solution to Angel’s mentioned scenarios.
"You can hide it, like in some established private spaces." Wang Wang’s gaze turned to Angel’s bracelet, for these Void creatures, finding spaces was an effortless task.
"If someone important looks for you, I’ll send a message to it through the network to have it leave your private space willingly."
Angel frowned: "Are you saying it can freely enter my spatial artifact?"
Wang Wang shook its head: "No, biological private spaces are highly exclusive, unlike the free spaces outside. We can sense them but cannot directly enter."
Hearing this, Angel felt slightly relieved. If a Void Traveler could freely enter others’ spaces, it would be terrifying. After all, he had many secrets hidden in his space, including the avatar of a Demon God. If something went wrong, the loss would be incalculable.
Wang Wang continued, "But private spaces carry your intent. When it indicates a desire to leave the private space, you should be able to sense it. This way, important messages can be delivered promptly without affecting your daily life."
Angel originally intended to argue that he couldn’t timely sense the Void Traveler, but Wang Wang seemed to understand the traits of private spaces, addressing this loophole immediately.
At this point, Angel couldn’t find any other examples to refute but was still unwilling to relent, pressing on stubbornly: "But life is unpredictable, and there will always be times it’s needed. If it just becomes a medium between the Dalmatian and me, it’s equivalent to being a tool. Surely you don’t want it to become just a tool?"
Wang Wang didn’t care about the logical flaws in Angel’s words and directly said, "If you need to tell it something, or you want it to help you with something, you can. You just need to enter the network, inform me at that time, and I’ll contact it to make it understand your intention."
This plan of Wang Wang’s was quite cunning.
Angel looked deeply at Wang Wang. Wang Wang might not be oblivious to his intent, but it had already made its stance clear — it would rather be a messenger than stay.
Having come to this point, with Wang Wang even willing to degrade itself to a mere mouthpiece, resisting, Angel couldn’t press further.
He had considered using force to make Wang Wang stay. But... understanding the abilities of Void Travelers, Angel began doubting whether he could retain it; even if possible, he would need to set traps in advance. Moreover, it might be simpler to kill a Void Traveler than to trap it.
But Angel couldn’t kill Wang Wang, nor had he prepared traps, so forceful control was not an option.
However, Angel was truly eager to gain Wang Wang’s assistance. After all, in all the information he had gathered, it seemed only Wang Wang had the ability to carry someone through a Spatial Tempest.
Angel thought for a moment and said, "Fine, let your tribesman stay."
Joy flickered in Wang Wang’s eyes.
Then Angel added, "I have a small request. Could you do me a favor before you leave?"
Since Angel wasn’t familiar with Wang Wang, he initially intended to build a relationship first and, when it seemed appropriate, propose an equitable and friendly deal for Wang Wang’s help in traversing a Spatial Tempest.
But given Wang Wang’s apparent urgency to leave, Angel had to skip the relationship-building phase and jump straight to the point.
"Of course, I won’t expect you to help for nothing. I’ll offer you something in return. As long as it’s within my capability, feel free to make a request."
Angel didn’t know what Wang Wang needed, but since he had a request, he had to display a sincere attitude and see what Wang Wang required. As long as it wasn’t excessive, he would find a way to fulfill it as best as he could.
