Warlock Apprentice

In this situation, one can either retreat or strike back. Retreating is clearly not the style of a Research and Development Institute member, so Antonio’s advice to Angel is to release a work that renders all of Dong La’s words irrelevant.

”I understand.” Angel nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Angel in contemplation, Ironclad Granny mistakenly thought he was worried about the future situation, so she took a gentle sip of tea and said, ”Madeline and Dong La have a deep grudge. Actually, Madeline had the chance to ’permanently’ leave Dong La in the Abyss.”

Nis’s eyes widened as he looked at Ironclad Granny... Granny was about to go out of discussion territory.

Angel also understood Granny’s implication. He shook his head with a smile, ”Madeline indeed wished to carve out Dong La’s flesh and blood, but I believe Madeline would rather personally take down Dong La. After all, the gap between them isn’t that wide, it’s not an impossible feat.”

”Moreover, speaking of work releases... Granny, how do you find the log-in device from the Wilderness of Dreams?”

Ironclad Granny took a deep look at Angel, ”The log-in device is good. So it seems you’ve already decided how to proceed.”

The reason for this statement is because, according to the current situation in the Barbarian Cave, if Dong La truly intends to challenge Angel, the best opportunity would be at the tea party. Since all wizard organizations will be focusing on the tea party at that time, and the witches have an inherent talent for ’reading as information dissemination, writing as gossip,’ this powerful ability could aid Dong La in achieving her goals rapidly.

On the other hand, Angel was already planning to open the log-in device to a limited audience at the tea party. In this regard, Dong La and he happen to coincide.

As for Angel’s release of the log-in device versus Dong La’s challenge, the clash between the two, who would win and who would lose... Do we even need to ask?

Nis squinted at Angel, contemplating whether he intended to make Dong La a stepping stone.

Ironclad Granny: ”Since you already have a plan, let’s set this matter aside for now. As for the main topic we haven’t addressed yet.”

Ironclad Granny paused. Originally, she intended to have Nis continue discussing Mia’s handbook, but looking at Nis’s lecherous old face, she decided after a moment of thought to handle it herself.

”Mia’s handbook, retrieved from the relic storage by Antonio. After some searching, the report from those two talented ones was found.” Ironclad Granny: ”According to records, this event occurred in New Calendar year 7346, at Westdro Island.”

These two talented ones were indigenous people from the main island of Westdro, and were actually blood brothers. They lived in a small fishing village on the northern sandy coast of Westdro Island, where they grew up fishing. If not for encountering Mia, they might have become renowned fishermen in the future.

At age fourteen, during Midsummer of New Calendar year 7346, they encountered an event that changed their worldview.

Originally, they were fishing by the sea when they suddenly saw a group of people speeding over the sea’s surface. It startled them, making them start to question their reality—how could humans run over the sea?

Hiding behind palm trees, they witnessed a group of cloaked figures with numerical tattoos on their faces chasing a short-haired man deeper into Westdro Island.

As young boys, they were both perplexed and frightened by these people flying back and forth, but curiosity won over everything, and they secretly followed. They soon witnessed a shocking sight: the cloaked figures periodically emitted flames and light beams from their hands, aimed at the short-haired man ahead, leaving a trail of smoke and fire all the way, burning several mountains and even altering some mountain tops, completely transforming the landscape.

Due to the cloaked figures’ swift speed, merely glimpsing them in flight, they couldn’t keep up and had no choice but to return helplessly.

Although there was no follow-up to this matter, it changed their worldview, creating an aspiration for the transcendent world. This was one of the reasons why Mia could easily recruit them into Sky Mechanical City later.

After Ironclad Granny finished speaking, she took a sip of tea to soothe her dry throat, while Angel pondered over the whole incident.
