Although the expression of a bee is hard to observe, Blair, being an intelligent bee, conveyed its mood through its eyes, the emotions it released, and some subtle movements, which Angel could faintly perceive.
From these conversations, Angel could infer that Blair seemed to revere Shava, but it actually didn’t have any personal interaction with Shava.
This was similar to some creatures from the Nightmare Plane that Angel had encountered before. He didn’t know what kind of being Shava was, except that Shava seemed to be a high and aloof entity, rarely interacting with other creatures of the Nightmare Plane.
Because of this, Angel dared to directly ask, “Do I know you?”
From Blair’s answer, Angel could prepare for his next step.
If Blair said it was familiar with Shava or had in-depth contact, Angel would immediately use his rhetoric to shake off Blair, to avoid blowing his cover.
But if Blair said it was not familiar, Angel could use Shava’s identity to extract some information from Blair.
Blair’s answer satisfied Angel.
Knowing about Shava’s noble status but not having close contact with it allowed Angel, whether impersonating Shava or asking questions, to have free rein.
However, even with this freedom, Angel didn’t dare to deviate too much. Based on his brief encounters with Shava, he always felt that Shava was a cold person. If he wanted to impersonate Shava, the character he portrayed would definitely revolve around being indifferent.
“Blair, what are you doing here?” Angel’s gaze gently shifted to Blair’s waist, where the seed bag was still trembling slightly, indicating that the mushroom inside must be very active.
Blair, looking very honest, replied, “I am planting Mystlight. Mademoiselle Goldilocks said this land near Princess Powder is suitable for Mystlight cultivation. It can replace the role of Illusio.”
Angel nodded outwardly, but his mind was full of question marks.
Blair’s words contained a lot of information. What are Princess Powder and Mademoiselle Goldilocks, and what exactly is Illusio?
From Blair’s words, it’s speculated that Princess Powder refers to something near the land, maybe something pink, perhaps a stream?
Illusio, replaceable by Mystlight, is presumed to be a type of mushroom, and Illusio is probably another mushroom variety.
As for Mademoiselle Goldilocks, she sounds like a creature, perhaps Blair’s superior?
“Mademoiselle Goldilocks?” Angel murmured the name with confusion. Since he didn’t initiate an inquiry about the name, whatever Blair’s response, Angel could interpret it.
Regarding Illusio and Princess Powder, while Angel was curious, it wasn’t appropriate for him to ask, given his status.
Blair, unaware of Angel’s thoughts, fully believed that Highness Shava was inquiring about who Mademoiselle Goldilocks was, so it explained thoroughly, “Mademoiselle Goldilocks is the owner of the Doreen Flower Garden… a subordinate of Lord Nooka.”
Angel sensed respect in Blair’s emotions towards Mademoiselle Goldilocks, as Blair was just a farmer, and Mademoiselle Goldilocks was the garden owner. As for “Lord Nooka,” Blair’s mention was accompanied by a tremble and even fear, more so than for Mademoiselle Goldilocks.
Moreover, the name Nooka was not unfamiliar to Angel.
Before old Pat’s demise, Pat Manor had a very skilled fruit farmer named Nooka. The vineyards next to Jon’s stilted house were planted by Nooka and Jon together.
Hearing a familiar name, Angel felt a bit dazed. However, he had heard too many similar names and quickly composed himself, pondering over the identity of this Nooka.
There’s no doubt that Nooka’s identity is far from ordinary. If he is someone of significant background, Angel shouldn’t overly inquire about Nooka at the moment. Given Shava’s status, he should be aware of Nooka’s background.
In his mind, Angel pondered how, with Shava’s identity, he should subtly inquire about Nooka’s origins.
After much thought, Angel suddenly realized: Why must he inquire about Nooka? His most important task now is to leave the ruins; other matters can be set aside for now.
With this in mind, Angel immediately refocused: “Do you know where the exit of the Doreen Flower Garden is?”
Blair’s dark eyes dimmed slightly, interpreting Shava’s words as a desire to leave. It was hard for Blair to part with Shava, whom it had only just had the honor of seeing…
Despite Blair’s evident reluctance, it replied, “If Shava does not take the void passage and wants to go to the Land of Heart Sigh, the only exit from the Doreen Flower Garden leading there is through the chimney on the rooftop of Mademoiselle Goldilocks’s house.”
Angel was filled with questions again. What is the Land of Heart Sigh? And what’s with the chimney of Mademoiselle Goldilocks’s house?
“Okay.” Although Angel was clueless, he didn’t show it: “Where is Mademoiselle Goldilocks’s house?”
Blair picked up a hoe and pointed in a direction: “Just keep going straight ahead, and you will see Mademoiselle Goldilocks’ house. It’s very big, the only castle in the Doreen Flower Garden.”
Angel looked in the direction Blair pointed, which was exactly where he had been heading.
Considering this, was Mademoiselle Goldilocks the one who embraced him and brought him here?
Although it was still uncertain, the possibility was very high. After all, in the vast Doreen Flower Garden, the only one who would dare to lay hands on “Shava” would probably be the garden’s master.
But why did Mademoiselle Goldilocks bring him here and then leave? What was her purpose in bringing him here?
Angel had many questions in his mind. He glanced at Blair, who was still looking at him with two pitch-black eyes, seemingly eager to please. Should he ask Blair?
Would asking give him away? After all, he wasn’t truly Shava.
Hesitating for a moment, Angel decided to ask. Anyway, Blair didn’t know Shava well. Maybe a little bluffing would work… right?
Blair showed surprise at Angel’s question: “So it was Goldilocks that brought you to the Doreen Flower Garden? No wonder I saw her leave the garden suddenly…”
“Do you know what she wanted with me?” Angel asked.
Blair stretched its forelimbs and scratched its tentacles, which were holding a pot: “I rarely see Goldilocks, and she seldom leaves the castle. So, I don’t know what she wanted with you.”
“And how do you receive her orders?”
“They are conveyed by the castle’s steward.”
Angel asked a few more questions, and Blair seemed very honest in its responses. However, Angel knew that this honesty was only due to the significant difference in rank between it and Shava; it dared not be dishonest.
If it were someone else, they surely wouldn’t be so forthcoming.
Angel glanced at Blair’s hoe, which was no ordinary object. He could barely see through it, and there was a faint scent of blood on it. It was clear that Blair was not as simple and harmless as it appeared.
