Portia nodded: "She hasn't left since the Rising Stars Game ended."
The opening of the Endless Corridor made many apprentices reluctant to leave. Not to mention Dong Liz, there were only a few players in the Rising Star Competition who left.
Even his brother Leon is still in the Sky Machine City at this time. Although he cannot enter the endless corridor, he can accumulate combat experience through the Sky Tower, which is also good.
Since Dong Lizi was still in Sky Machinery City, Angel thought for a while, nodded, and decided to have a chat with her.
Portia said with a smile: "Then I will inform her now."
Although Angel has not yet nodded in agreement, his willingness to meet Dong Lizi has already shown his inner tendency.
As long as Dong Liz's "sister" makes a request that is not too difficult, there is a high probability that Angel will agree to this plan.
Portia certainly knows that if Angel chooses the first option, she can get a favor from Angel, but at this moment, she still hopes to get it from Witch Xialu instead of Angel’s favor.
to that material.
As long as she can get that consumable, she will definitely make great progress in her subsequent research. Even if Angel does not find the magic pattern that converts matter into life, her research can continue.
——Yes, Portia still remembers asking Angel to help find the magic pattern that turns matter into life.
However, although she remembered it, she did not ask Angel about this matter today.
The reason is also very simple. She is also secretly searching for the relevant magic patterns. She is very aware of the difficulty in this process. She does not think Angel can find it in such a short time.
Another point is that according to the information of Master Seran of the Breeze Valley, the magic pattern that converts matter into life has not appeared in the Southern Region in the past thousand years. If you want to find the relevant magic pattern, you can only go to the original birthplace of the magic pattern: the abyss.
.
Portia has already learned from Regina that Angel has not left the Southern Territory recently. Since he is still in the Southern Territory and the time is such a short time, there is a high probability that the relevant magic patterns will not be found.
Therefore, Portia had no intention of asking Angel about the magic pattern this time.
As for Angel's worry that Portia would take advantage of him after sending out "favors", this worry was basically in vain.
About half a minute later, Portia raised her head and looked at Angel: "I just couldn't contact Lizzie, but I learned from Antonio that it had been half an hour since she went to the Endless Corridor. According to her usual time to enter the level.
, she will come out in about five to ten minutes... shall we wait for her? "
Angel nodded.
Five to ten minutes is not too long. Moreover, the Endless Corridor is near the Sky Tower, and the signal tower is not far from the Sky Tower. It won't take long for Dong Liz to come here.
While waiting for Lizzie to come over, Angel and Portia chatted casually.
Angel had always been worried that Portia would mention the magic pattern. He had even thought about what he would say if he really mentioned the magic pattern. However, Portia seemed to have forgotten about the magic pattern and did not mention a word during the whole process.
She and Angel basically talked about some recent gossip in the R&D institute. They also used the recently popular poker, drama shadow box and other projects in Sky Mechanical City to tease the small-scale cultural change caused by Angel.
However, Portia's thinking is very fast, and even when she chats with Angel about gossip, the words she says are often totally inconsistent.
For example, she was saying just a second ago: "Recently, a new poker method has leaked out. It is said that 22 people can play cards at the same time. However, if you want to get so many poker friends, you can only go to the Paradise Hall."
Angel:...22-player card game? He remembered talking about some poker methods with Xia Li before, but he didn’t seem to have mentioned the 22-player card game? Is it an original local game?
Just when Angel was thinking about poker, Portia's topic jumped again:
"Speaking of the Paradise Hall, have you heard about it? Because the Stargazing Sunflow predicted that the Pure Land of Paradise will be turned upside down by a 'returner', which has also caused the Paradise Hall to shrink crazily recently. The person who is usually acrimonious
The honey bud witch is now as cautious as a mouse in the underground tunnel. The slightest disturbance can scare her. She often pesters Mr. Rosen, trying to draw Sky Mechanical City to deal with the so-called returnee.
I think she is just confused. How could Mr. Rosen provoke a top wizard at will?"
"I want to use my beauty to seduce Mr. Rosen, but I don't even look at Mr. Rosen's body structure. I guess that except for his head, everything else has been replaced by a machine. He can't even be hard, and he will still be greedy for your beauty. It's a joke."
Angel: ...I seem to have heard something strange. Are you witches gossiping so deeply? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Rosen will slap you in the face?
Portia: "However, in this case, the Bliss Hall can still see the opportunity to make money, open a poker hall, and invite Charlie to perform a poker magic show at the opening of the hall. I have to say that some of them have a very good sense of smell.
Sensitive."
"In just a few months, I have made a lot of magic crystals just by relying on the poker room. Even if others imitate now, the scale will not be as big as theirs."
After sighing, Portia jumped to another topic: "By the way, speaking of making money, in addition to playing cards, your drama shadow box is also very popular recently. However, Paradise Hall dares to touch playing cards, but not your drama shadow box.
,Do you know why?"
Angel was about to answer when Portia took the lead and said: "Because they can't find a good source of goods at all."
Angel choked back the words that were already on his lips. It felt like Portia's current state didn't need a conversation partner, she just needed someone to listen.
"Recently, there are more people who can refine drama shadow boxes than before. But I have bought a few, and they are incomparable to the ones you have made, in terms of realism, plot, and even the ones you taught before.
The camera language I used during the interview was completely different from yours."
"Under such circumstances, even if the Kukakukan intends to open a 'grand theater', it will not be able to obtain a shadow box that can be recognized by everyone."
"Unless they can buy the shadow box you made. However, your shadow box is no longer available on the market. Even if it occasionally leaks out, it will be snapped up immediately, and they will not be able to grab it at all."
"As far as I know, they planned to find you directly, but they just couldn't find you."
When Portia said this, she looked at Angel with a smile and joked: "You are now successful and you are being targeted by a group of beautiful witches. Are you happy?"
Angel: "..."
"About the drama shadow box, I have a secret message here." Portia: "It is said that Sterling has also been researching the drama shadow box recently, and he is also using your banner."
Angel originally planned not to speak and just listen to Portia, but when he heard the news about Stirling, and it was related to him, he still couldn't help but said: "My flag?"
He has obviously never met Sterling...
Portia nodded: "Yes, it's your banner. However, he didn't do anything bad. He just pretended to be your colleagues. Moreover, he also had a shadow box you refined in his hand, which he used to recruit many people.
There are few talents in the illusion department.”
"In doing so, he seems to want to study the method of mass-producing drama shadow boxes, and then... you know, he just cares about money, just to make money."
Angel: "...This is very Sterling."
According to Portia, Stirling probably wanted to copy his shadow box and mass-produce it to make a fortune.
"However, you can recruit talents in the illusion department under my banner? What kind of logic is this?" Angel was a little confused. Is it so easy to find talents in the illusion department?
Moreover, this logic is very unreasonable. If these illusion talents really joined Sterling because of Angel, then why didn't they just join Magic Island directly?
Even if Fantasy Island has a threshold, you can still join Savage Cave first.
Angel doesn't understand.
Portia didn't understand either: "Anyway, this is the rumor I heard. I haven't seen it with my own eyes and don't know what is going on. If you are really curious, you can go see Stirling in person. I believe him.
I will definitely not refuse to see you."
Hearing what Portia said, Angel realized something...it turned out to be just rumors, and it was normal for rumors to be exaggerated.
The real situation is not necessarily that the illusion talent was found under his banner, but that Stirling found it through other methods.
However, in terms of communication, the term "under the banner of Angel" is more of a gimmick, especially when Angel is being watched by countless people, this gimmick is even more eye-catching.
After Portia chatted for a while, she also said some serious things.
For example, like Midora, she also paid attention to Angel's current situation after learning that Angel was located in the Biron Tree Garden.
Also, she also talked about Dongla.
Her suggestion was similar to Midora's. Donla didn't show up in person, but just asked her assistant to make some declarations. Angel didn't need to respond at all.
However, Donla's declaration is also a landmine.
After all, she is also a member of the R&D Institute, and her right to speak is no less than Angel's, and her connections are definitely wider than Angel's. If Angel wants to secure his current position, he still has to find a way to overcome this obstacle.
Portia was worried about Angel at first, but when she learned that Angel already had a plan and was going to launch a new product at the tea party, she said no more or asked Angel what new product he had developed.
Because, she will definitely go to the tea party, and she will know when the time comes.
However, Portia still added: "You chose a tea party to release new products. This is a good time, especially the Savage Cave is the venue for this tea party. It will be easier to control public opinion; but you must not relax, because Donla
It's also possible that when you go to a tea party, you can try to convince other witches of the new product you bring out, even if you can't convince Donla to take it orally."
"Otherwise, if Don La really pops out to confront you, your arrangement may be self-defeating."
In other words, Angel's new products should not be too superficial, and they should try their best to convince others by the quality of the work, rather than relying on the identity of the host to influence the direction of the trend.
Angel also understood this, but he was not worried at all.
The Wilderness of Dreams may not necessarily impress everyone immediately, but its appearance will definitely become a turning point in the history of the Southern Territory.
This sentence was not said by Angel, but by the inspector.
Even the inspectors think so, let alone others.
But then again, Portia's reminder also made Angel notice something that he had ignored before: Donla, it is really possible to come to the tea party.
He previously thought that Donla might not come to the tea party because of Madeleine. But thinking about it carefully, it is very likely that Donla will come to the tea party. Moreover, as a guest of the tea party and a master of alchemy, Donla is barbaric.
As the organizer, Cave would never dare to attack Donla at the tea party, and even had to ensure her safety.
If she was sure that Galinaya had also hunted her down in the abyss, Donla might still rely on this to become a monster.
In this case, Savage Cave may be a constraint.
Perhaps you should discuss this with Liana in advance, so that it won't be difficult to solve the problem when Donla really acts like a monster.
…
About fifteen minutes later, Portia received a message from Antonio that Lizzie had arrived outside the signal tower.
Along with the sound of footsteps, Dong Liz walked into the range of the light screen.
She wore a delicate black princess dress and a very exaggerated Heenan hat on her head. The top of the hat was cone-shaped, with wire molding inside, the brim was fixed with a gold ring, and the front edge was a circle of dark black velvet that hung down.
Wearing silver gauze.
Her clothes are already very exaggerated, and her movements are even more exaggerated.
Her whole body was like a delicate puppet. When she walked, she felt twisted, stiff, and sluggish, and every movement seemed extremely disharmonious.
It was as if someone was manipulating an invisible thread from behind, pulling her up to them.
However, this sense of déjà vu as a puppet only appeared when she moved. When she calmed down, her expression was not as stiff as before. However, she did not return to her normal posture. Instead, she tilted her head and said in a sweet voice.
He said cruel words that outsiders could not understand.
From the direction of her head, she seemed to be talking to the person behind her.
But there was no one behind her.
...If there is really someone, it can only be her "non-existent" sister.
After she stood still, she turned her head sickly and bowed to Portia and Angel in a delicate voice.
"Sir, you came to me, have you agreed to refine the hat? My sister can't wait to see her new hat~" Dong Liz looked at Angel impatiently.
Angel did not answer Dong Liz immediately, but carefully recalled Dong Liz's behavior after she came in.
He thought Dong Lizi's behavior was weird before, but if there was really someone behind Dong Lizi, then her previous weird behavior could be explained clearly.
Moreover, from the details in her eyes, Angel could feel that she truly felt that there was a "sister" beside her, but only she could see this sister.
Angel pondered: "If you want me to refine the hat, you need to answer a few questions."
Dong Lizi looked aggrieved and murmured in a low voice: "It turns out that you still have conditions...my sister obviously wants the hat that you refined so much."
"But, forget it. If you ask me to answer a question, I will answer it~ I love answering questions the most, and my sister also loves answering questions~" One second, Dong Liz was still pretending to be aggrieved, and the next second she started
Shaking his head, he smiled with blurred eyes.
Angel ignored Dong Liz's 'performance' and said calmly: "First question, why do you have to let me refine the hat? Can't anyone else do it?"
