Regarding Canter’s request, Angel neither declined nor fully committed.
He simply said, “I’ll go to the Research Institute later to assess the situation, and I’ll do my best to try.”
Canter expressed gratitude, saying, “I appreciate it. I originally came to thank you, and now I find myself asking for another favor.”
While they were conversing, the sound of clicking emanated from outside the hall. Soon after, Butler Number 1 pushed aside the curtain and flew in.
“Master, there is a guest outside who wishes to see you,” Butler Number 1 said, his voice tinged with a metallic quality.
“A guest?” Everyone involuntarily directed their gaze toward the outside of the estate.
From Angel’s perspective, the visitor outside was a woman. She wore a long white dress with gold trim that at first glance resembled the robes of a cleric.
The woman had a voluptuous figure and a beautiful face. Her golden hair flowed loosely, exuding both sensuality and a casual air.
What was worth noting, however, was the pale golden scale at the center of her exposed collarbone. This scale was continuously emitting a faint ocean aura.
As the crowd observed her, she seemed to catch their gaze, flipped her long hair, and smiled captivatingly.
“Why would she come here?” Canter’s voice brought everyone’s thoughts back to the present.
“Is she Sanye?” At this moment, Angel voiced the question that had been nagging at his mind. Although he had never met Sanye, the scale she carried suggested that she likely hailed from the Song of the Deep Sea. The fact that she was aware of their gaze also indicated that her capabilities were at least on par with a formal wizard.
Not long ago, Canter had mentioned Sanye, so naturally Angel’s first thought was of this witch, known colloquially as “Golden Umbrella.”
Canter nodded in affirmation: “Yes, she is indeed Witch Sanye.”
Upon hearing that Sanye was outside, Cherie immediately furrowed her brows. Canter, noticing Cherie’s expression, knew what she was thinking and said reluctantly, “It’s only Witch Sanye, alone.”
Which meant that Jiebo was not there.
Still, that didn’t improve Cherie’s mood. After all, Witch Sanye was also a disciple of Sea God Florence.
“Let her in,” Sanders directed the head butler at that moment. Compared to others from the Song of the Deep Sea, Witch Sanye’s reputation in the Southern Region was relatively decent.
Canter had no objections; he too wanted to discuss matters of responsibility with Witch Sanye.
Before long, a lavishly dressed and sensuous Sanye entered the room.
Upon her entry, she greeted everyone warmly. Whether it was Canter or Sanders, both appeared to be quite familiar with her. At least on the surface, the relationship seemed amicable.
However, while Sanye was exchanging greetings with Canter and Sanders, Angel could distinctly sense her eyes subtly locked onto him.
As Angel was contemplating this, Sanye approached him.
“I’ve heard much about the famed Super Dimensional Wizard, but this is my first time meeting you in person. You’re even younger and more handsome than I imagined,” Sanye said, flirtatiously winking her left eye at Angel. She then leaned in and whispered in Angel’s ear, “If you’re in need of a companion, consider me.”
Laughter filled the room as Sanye took her seat.
“The timing of Witch Sanye’s arrival is impeccable; I was just contemplating how to delegate responsibilities,” Canter spoke first.
Sanye waved her hand dismissively, “Let’s discuss those trivial matters tomorrow. I didn’t come here today to dwell on such tedious issues.”
Sanders then asked, “May I inquire as to the reason for your visit?”
Sanye turned her gaze towards Angel, “Naturally, I came for the Super Dimensional Wizard.”
Angel, who initially intended to be a mere spectator, was surprised when Sanye once again steered the conversation towards him.
“You came because of me?” Angel was somewhat perplexed; after all, they had just met for the first time today. What could there be to discuss?
“Yes, my mentor has always spoken highly of you, particularly in the field of alchemy,” Sanye explained.
Upon hearing this, Angel already had some suspicions.
“… I’ve heard that the Super Dimensional Wizard once crafted an alchemy item related to the Ocean lineage?” After much praise, Sanye finally revealed her intent.
Angel replied, “If Witch Sanye is looking to purchase the ‘Rhythm of the Ocean,’ I’m afraid I might have to disappoint you.”
Sanye retorted, “You don’t have to decline so quickly. Have you heard of Spivey? And to be clear, I’m not referring to the Spivey who made a name for himself in the Novastar Competition.”
If it’s not Flora’s low-key disciple Spivey that Sanye was referring to, then the one worthy of her mention must be that person——
Five thousand years ago, there was a cunning grand wizard named Spivey.
Angel, of course, knew about this legendary wizard, but he was somewhat puzzled as to why Sanye would bring him up.
Sanye quickly provided the answer: “Not long ago, while I was on a journey, I inadvertently entered an abandoned laboratory. The previous owner of this laboratory was Spivey.”
Wizards often travel extensively, and sometimes, when inspiration strikes, they choose to establish a temporary laboratory on the spot. Because of this, abandoned laboratories can frequently be found all over the world, including in domains beyond.
While many of these laboratories are empty, some contain valuable assets such as experimental data, research schemes, and even some extraordinary tools left behind.
Many apprentices, picking up the crumbs of wisdom left by formal wizards, have the potential to advance in their practice. If the remnant wisdom is from a legendary grand wizard, the benefits are even greater. Therefore, even an abandoned laboratory can be incredibly valuable.
Sanye continued: “I was rather fortunate; in this abandoned laboratory, I found an item. According to the records, it should be an alchemical tool once used by the Cunning Great Wizard.”
“I can use this tool to make a trade with you.”
“What tool?” Regardless of whether a trade would take place, Angel was curious about the item Sanye spoke of. After all, if she’s willing to use this object as a bargaining chip, she must have high confidence in its value.
Sanye gave a mysterious smile: “An auxiliary tool from the school of illusion magic; would Super Dimensional Wizard be interested?”
A once-used tool of a legendary wizard, and from the school of illusion magic, at that?!
Angel and Sanders locked eyes, and a hint of surprise flickered in Sanders’ gaze.
Although the Cunning Great Wizard is not specialized in illusion spells, the fact that he keeps it on his person, and Sanye had mentioned it’s a used item, suggests its extraordinary nature.
Suddenly, it seemed as though Sanders had an epiphany, silently mulling over in his heart: A used item? Could it be that object…
Angel might not be privy to Sanders’ inner thoughts, but he understood that this item must hold exceptional value.
He pondered for a moment and then said to Sanye, “If we’re discussing a trade, shouldn’t you present the item for my inspection?”
