"If you are willing to burn the light of life in exchange for a rose. I think you must be crazy."
When he saw this row of cursive characters carved on the wall, Angel knew that they had arrived at Zislade's antique shop.
The store is filled with various glass display cabinets, and the display cabinets are full of rare treasures. The intersection of gold and silver, the transition between fantasy and machinery, as well as historical slates and ancient scrolls.
As gorgeous and fantastic as ever, and...the same opening lines as always.
"Those who can walk in must have something on their mind. Distinguished guest, are you planning to trade your lifespan or your soul..." Zislade, who has made a good impression on himself, walked to the front desk gracefully, But before he could say anything, he paused: "!!!"
"Why is it you again!" Zslade cried out.
Zislade felt his old face getting hot. This was the second time this year that he had failed in his pretense. The first time was because of Sanders and Angel.
Why did he just come out from behind? Why don't you use your mental power to explore it?
After Zislade cried out in embarrassment, he smiled awkwardly.
"Ahem, sit here." Zislade pressed the button next to him, and the sound of gears and chains sounded from the ground. After a while, a crack opened on the ground, and several sofas and matching low chairs rose up from below. table.
After everyone sat down, two mechanical golems held hands and flew in from the side door with tea. They looked very happy, and even faint laughter could be heard in the air.
"Tell Anada to prepare dinner for the guests."
The two mechanical golems nodded, put down the tea, and left from the side door hand in hand.
Angel quietly watched the two smart mechanical puppets disappear, with a trace of trance in his eyes. When he came back last time, there was only one mechanical puppet, and now there is another one.
"Is this another son that the woman traded last time?"
"Yes." Zislade nodded: "I have to say that the guest has good blood and luck, and the twins he gave birth to have special souls."
"Selling your son in exchange for your own wealth. If luck comes like this, it's really a human tragedy." Angel said lightly.
Zislade smiled and said nothing. What he abides by most is equal exchange. Since the guest can pay the price, there is no harm in giving the other party short-term happiness. Moreover, those two children may be the saddest if they stay with their mother.
"Your Excellency Huan Mo, and... the super-dimensional wizard. I wonder if you are here today. What's the matter?" When Zislade mentioned the 'super-dimensional wizard', his tone obviously paused, and at the same time a complicated look flashed in his eyes. mood. The last time he saw Angel, he was still an apprentice. Now he has not only become an official wizard, but according to the information he learned, he has even created a method, and he is not far away from true knowledge.
Moreover, it also joined the R&D Institute.
Zislade has been in the wizarding world for hundreds of years. When he saw Angel, his tone had to be more solemn.
And this was only a change within a year. This contrast between before and after made Zslade feel a little uneasy. However, he has been in the mortal world for many years, and his experience in dealing with various strange customers has greatly improved his state of mind. So soon, he restrained his inner turmoil.
Sanders: "I have something to ask you."
Zislade: "Does Sir Phantom Demon want to know some information?"
Sanders shook his head: "I want to know, what do you think about the balance of energy properties?"
Zislade's current path is to pursue absolute balance, not just in transactions, but in everything, including interpersonal relationships. He pursues all balances.
Sanders now wants to think about the energy structure of the Wilderness of Dreams based on Zislade's views on the balance of energy properties.
Zislade didn't expect Sanders to ask such a research-oriented question. Suspicion flashed in his eyes: Doesn't Sir Phantom hate academics like Mr. Wallace the most? Why, are you suddenly doing academic research now? Could it be that he was influenced by Angel?
Although Zislade's thoughts were not spoken, Sanders saw his thoughts at a glance and said calmly: "Even if you are a practical person, you still need to study the knowledge that you should study."
"Having said that, in-depth study of the balance of energy properties is not a universal content for the practical school." Zislade muttered in a low voice, then quickly straightened his face and spoke in detail about his views on energy balance.
Regarding Sanders' inquiry, Zslade did not hide any secrets at all. Firstly, there was no need to hide any secrets about their relationship. Secondly, these contents were actually not that secret. With Sanders' ability, he Even if you don't get it from yourself, there are other ways to get it.
What's more, they are "exchanges" rather than unilateral "teachings." Since it is an exchange, it can effectively complement and communicate the knowledge of both parties. This will also promote the knowledge possessed by Zslade, so why not do it.
Angel sat aside and benefited a lot from just listening to the exchanges between these two veteran wizards about the nature of energy.
Time passed slowly like this, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
Greya took Azaz and walked in from outside the antique shop. Zislade knew in advance that Greya would come, so he was not surprised.
Zislade: "It's almost time, let's stop talking about it for now. Anada's dinner should be ready. Can we continue after the dinner?"
Sanders nodded indifferently.
Led by the twin mechanical golems, they arrived at the dining hall.
There was a rich rose fragrance floating in the air, and bright candles decorated the restaurant in a dreamy way. The twin mechanical golems rushed to the side cabinet and opened a music box.
Beautiful music flows out.
In a comfortable environment, they took their seats. Not long after, an old woman walked in pushing a dining cart.
Every time she came to a guest, she would arrange the food prepared on the dining car. During this process, the old woman did not dare to look directly at anyone. Only when she saw the twin mechanical golems, she smiled kindly.
Soon, she came to Angel's side. She still didn't look at Angel, but placed the plates in a polite manner.
However, Angel said softly at this time: "Anada."
The old woman was stunned for a moment and raised her head in confusion. When she saw Angel's face, she seemed to realize something.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The old woman looked at Angel, her hands trembled a little, her mouth moved, and finally she just whispered "Sir" and walked tremblingly to the next person.
When Anada pushed the dining cart out of the restaurant, Greya looked at Angel curiously.
"Do you know that woman?"
Angel nodded: "I met her in Daredevil City before. She is Whitbyton's childhood sweetheart."
