Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3140 Unexpected request
"Ms. Portia, long time no see." Angel made a standard meeting ceremony.

Portia took out a lace folding fan and opened it slightly. The patterns on the fan are the poker suits that are quite popular in Sky Machinery City today.

Portia opened the folding fan and covered her lips with a smile: "How long? How do I feel, the last time we met, it seemed like yesterday."

Angor replied seriously: "Perhaps Ms. Portia studied too seriously and forgot the time?"

Portia smiled softly, and didn't answer, but turned her attention to Olao next to Angel: "Hey, this tall little brother is your new assistant?"

Angel: "Well, his name is Olao, and he will conduct alchemy research with me for a long time to come."

However, Orao was the subject of research.

Portia raised her eyebrows: "So, little brother Olao is someone you think you can trust?"

Both Antonio and Medora had noticed Olao before, but they did not inquire about Olao's identity.On the contrary, it was Portia who immediately asked about Olao. From this, it can be seen that Portia did not trust Angor very much. She could try to trust Angor because of his status as a member of the Research and Development Institute, but But it was hard to trust the other people around Angel.

Antonio and Medora believed in Angor, so they also believed in Orao brought by Angor.

Relatives and distances can be seen at a glance.

Angel didn't care about it, and he didn't have much contact with Portia himself. It's normal for her to be cautious: "Yes, he is someone I trust."

After a pause, Angel continued: "Don't look at Olao's young face, but in terms of actual age, he is actually very big."

The implication is that Olao is not a little brother.

However, Portia obviously didn't think so, she said with a coquettish smile: "Age is not important, but the heart. His eyes tell me that he still retains innocence and ignorance."

This is not sarcasm.

Olao's actual age is indeed very old, but he spent most of his time in the closed poetry room, and he couldn't even enter the Mirror Realm.These ten thousand years are more like a dream to him.

His mental age should be calculated in ten thousand years ago.

After such a calculation, it is really not necessarily older than Portia.

Angel thought for a while, and didn't refute, but said with a smile: "Today's topic shouldn't be Olao, right?"

Portia smiled: "Of course not...Since little brother Angel is so impatient, let's get to the point?"

Angel nodded noncommittally, and muttered in a low voice, "...can the suffix after my name be removed?"

Portia closed the folding fan with a smile, and gracefully nodded in the direction of the light screen: "I can't~ I will change my words when your strength surpasses mine."

Angel: "..."

Obviously everyone is an alchemist, what strength is it to see!Look at the technical ability!
Angel complained silently in his heart, but in fact, he also understood that even if he really looked at the alchemy skills, he might not be as good as Portia in the breadth of skills.

After all, Portia is a true master of alchemy, unlike him, who joined the research and development institute at the beginning, and also used the back door of refining semi-mysterious objects...

What's more, Portia was hand-picked by the mother-in-law nails, and besides Muse, she was the most talented alchemist in the research and development institute.

In terms of breadth, it must be better than Portia.

But if you want to talk about depth, that's another story.

However, it is useless to say these things now. Portia did not discuss alchemy techniques with Angel at all, and only used her own strength to suppress it. He really had no way to refute it.

Who made him weaker than Portia... According to the rules of the wizarding world in the Southern Region, he could only accept this title passively.

Angel sighed: "Forget it, whatever you want."

Seeing Angel slightly deflated, Portia smiled even more happily.

However, this smile didn't last long, and as Angel took the initiative to talk about Qili, Portia's expression gradually returned to calm.

"...That's how things are." Angel briefly said about Qili again.

Portia smiled lightly and said, "It's similar to what Regina said before...you are very concerned about this Qili?"

Angel just smiled and didn't answer.

He knows this kind of topic too well. Once a "senior" chats with you about women, there is a high probability that the next topic will be emotional topics.

If it was Rhine, I was already thinking about how to play with Lang.

But for a fun witch like Portia, there is a high probability that she wants to listen to gossip.

Once Portia heard the three-point gossip, she could turn the gossip into nine points at the tea party.

So, it's better to keep your mouth shut.

He is willing to listen to other people's gossip, but he never wants to be the object of gossip himself.

Portia didn't make things difficult for Angel either. Seeing that Angel didn't answer, she changed the subject graciously: "I already have some thoughts on how to help Qili get out of the current predicament. However, we will discuss this topic later. Chat, I want to talk to you about something else."

Angor: "Okay."

He was calm on the surface at this time, but he said silently in his heart: What should come, still came.

Portia sent a message to him through Regina, she wanted to meet him, she must be looking for him.Moreover, there is a high probability that Qi Li's affairs will be used to make some kind of exchange with him.

Contacting Portia's recent actions, it must be related to life alchemy...

Just when Angel was thinking about it, Portia said softly, "I want to ask you to refine a hat for me."

"Sorry, I haven't..." Angel was about to say, he hadn't found the magic pattern yet.But halfway through, he stopped.

"Hat?" Angel raised his head in doubt and looked at Portia.

Hey, why is it different from the script he thought?Didn't Portia want to ask about the magic pattern of life alchemy?
Portia nodded: "That's right, I want to ask you to make a hat for me...Why, you seem surprised?"

Angel shook his head quickly: "I'm not surprised, I just didn't expect that Ms. Portia would ask me to make hats. As far as I know, Master Matthew and Master Gu Xiluo are both in Sky Machinery City. If you want to make hats, you can actually Go find them."

"Gold Toucher" Matthew and "Moonlight Silver" Gu Xiluo are both members of the Research and Development Institute, and they are both masters of the fusion genre of gold and stone studies. In terms of alchemy level, they are definitely the top in the southern region .

Although Angel is also a member of the R&D Institute, it is definitely impossible to say that his alchemy level must be higher than that of Matthew and Gu Xiluo.

This point is also the current consensus of the entire alchemy circle.

How old is Angel?How old are Matthew and Gusiro?In terms of accumulation of knowledge alone, Angel is definitely not as good as the latter two.

Therefore, Angel was very puzzled when Portia came to find him to do alchemy.Is there any unknown gap between Portia, Matthew and Gusiro?

Portia: "Of course I have considerations about whom I should refine."

The implication is that she considered Matthew and Gusiro, but finally chose Angel.

Angel frowned and asked, "Can you tell me the reason? Why did you ask me to refine it?"

The reason why he wanted to know the reason was because he wanted to know what Portia valued?Portia must have some inclination to ask him to refine it, and what is this inclination?
Moreover, not to mention Portia, even if other close friends asked him to refine props, he would ask why.

This is a matter of basic principle.

Portia: "Yes, but the answer I give you may be absurd."

"Absurd?" Angel: "Is it false?"

Portia shook her head: "No, this is the real reason, but it may sound absurd."

Angel did not interrupt, but quietly watched Portia, waiting for her words.

Portia held a folding fan, nodded between her eyebrows, and seemed to be sorting out her words. After a while, she said: "The hat I asked you to refine was not for me, but for another person. This Man, you should have seen her, her name is... Dong Liz."

Winter Liz?Angel froze for a moment, a figure of a girl wearing a big hat flashed in his mind.

Angel did meet Dong Liz, and he even talked to her.To be precise, it was Dong Liz who approached Angel on her own initiative.

At that time, it was the rookie stage.

Angel, as a referee, did not go to every game.When not refereeing, he occasionally picks a few games to watch.

Once, when he was waiting for the game to start in the auditorium with his brothers Leon and Serum, a girl wearing a very flamboyant Sinan hat approached him.

This person is none other than Dong Liz, and she is also one of the contestants in the Rising Star Competition.

Perhaps because Dong Liz was born in Xialu Hailing, her temperament is very contradictory.

Obviously it is the most innocent expression, the purest appearance, but it often spits out the most vicious and cruel words.

Her eyes were always shining with blood, her cheeks were flushed, and the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile, as if mocking the world.

It's totally a sickly look.

She has exactly the same character as the "Basket Witch" in Xialu Hailing.

Dong Liz came to her because Angel mentioned "Shadow Goose Girl" Siman when chatting with Salum.

And this Siman is from Xialu Hailing.

Dong Liz looked at Angel with delicate eyes: "Are you curious about Siman, I have some inside information about her, which I can provide to you~"

Of course, Dong Liz did not give the news for nothing, she exchanged it with Angel.

Dong Liz pointed to the hat that Angor was wearing at that time: "I just need a hat from the adults. Your hat, if my sister wears it, it will look good."

Then Dong Liz said some strange things, such as her sister's dream is to build a museum of hats.And sister's wish is her wish.

Dong Liz also pointed to the empty seat next to her, saying that she would introduce her sister to Salum, but there was no one next to Dong Liz, and there was no so-called "sister" in her mouth.

She seems to be living in her own world, and imagines a sister, and her sister instructs her to search for hats everywhere.

It’s fine if you just search for hats, but Dong Lizi is used to chopping off her opponents’ hats and heads, because in her opinion... hat museums must have models for holding hats, and human heads are natural model.

It can be said that Dong Liz is one of the cruelest contestants in the Rising Star Competition.

Of course, Angor finally rejected Dong Liz's exchange request.

At that time, he mentioned "Shadow Goose Girl" Siman purely because he saw that the other party was also in the audience, so he made a science popularization for his brother Leon.I didn't think about knowing more about Siman, so there was no need to exchange with Dong Liz.

After that, Angel basically didn't think of Dongdong Liz.

It's just that I didn't expect that after going around for so long, I heard Dong Liz's name from Portia.Moreover, the last time Dong Liz asked Angel to trade a hat, Angor refused, and this time it was Portia?

"Ms. Portia knows Dong Liz?"

Because he had been in contact with Dong Liz, Angel could roughly guess Dong Liz's desire for hats, but what he didn't understand was why Portia would help Dong Liz?

Portia: "I have only met Dong Liz a few times, but I am quite familiar with her mentor."

"Her mentor..." Angel: "You mean, 'Basket Witch' Xialu Witch?"

Portia nodded: "Yes, it seems that you are not too unfamiliar with Dong Liz?"

Angor: "Dong Lizi once asked me to buy a hat, but I refused. The reason she asked me for a hat was that she wanted to build a hat museum... Ms. Portia said before that the answer you gave would be absurd , wouldn't the 'Hat Museum' be the answer?"

Portia: "No, but it does have something to do with her sister."

"Her sister?" Angel was stunned for a moment: "Does she really have a sister?"

Portia shrugged: "I don't know, anyway, I haven't seen it. But she and Witch Xialu said that she has a sister, so let's take it for granted."

Angel frowned, and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only continue to look at Portia, waiting for her to continue.

Portia: "It starts with Witch Xialu..."

Following Portia's narration, Angel roughly restored the whole story.

To put it simply, Portia wanted to ask Witch Xialu for help, and the condition Witch Xialu put forward was to ask Portia to prepare a hat for Dong Liz.

What was so difficult in Portia's opinion to prepare a hat?Moreover, it is even easier to prepare a hat for an apprentice, so he agreed.

However, when Portia and Dong Liz were negotiating later, they found that things were going a bit off course.

Witch Xialu said that she prepared a hat for Dong Liz, but Dong Liz said that the hat she prepared was for her sister.

Moreover, Dong Liz also said that her sister hoped that the person who made the hat would be Granny Nail or Angel.

Let's not talk about who to refine.

What left Portia speechless the most was that she couldn't see Dong Liz's sister at all, even if Dong Liz said that her sister was beside Portia, she couldn't see her.

Portia thought that Dong Liz was lying, but after using the truth, she found that Dong Liz was telling the truth.

Dong Liz said that she would not feel anything if she wanted a hat; but she insisted that it was her sister who wanted a hat, which made her feel very speechless.

Moreover, Dong Liz also said that she hopes to communicate with her sister before refining the hat.

It is normal to communicate before alchemy.But even Portia finds it absurd to refine a hat for an invisible "sister" and communicate with the other party.

But that's the real reason.
