Chapter 1035: Chapter 506: Destiny Cold Wave

"There are theses, fame, teaching rights, nominations for the tower evaluation, and even the acknowledgment from those old folks!"

The young girl with glasses suddenly changed her expression and said angrily, clenching her delicate fist.

The elements in her words left everyone present bewildered. Among them, Li Ang certainly understood, but was also far removed from those things, not to mention the Sky Knights who were completely in the dark.

"Is this about status in Thousand Tower City?" Elaphia summarized.

Everyone understood this immediately.

"Yes, I discovered this place from an ancient scroll. If I can compile a report about the various pieces of information about this civilization, how it was destroyed, and what powers of Nebis are involved, it will definitely make me stand out!"

The surrounding people couldn’t help but smile; this goal was very relatable.

Li Ang frowned slightly; this tone matched the "professor" quite closely. The words spoken indeed fit someone who is eager to prove their research.

Is she consolidating her efforts in playing this role?

But if the emotion in those words is feigned, then this girl is quite an actress.

Li Ang wanted to know about the dwarven treasure, but the orange-haired girl steered the topic in that direction, and nobody paid attention to it.

"Well then, everyone, rest up a bit, and we’ll set off." A Xiang called out to the other Sky Knights present.

After discussing the combat plan and distribution, all that’s left is the execution.

Li Ang’s party hadn’t camped on the platform or transported supplies, so they were free at this time, just waiting to set off.

His gaze remained fixed on the orange-haired girl with glasses, noticing that she quickly used charcoal to sketch in her notebook and began documenting something as Elaphia stored away the three swords.

Apparently, she is called Zerlase Calio, so Li Ang approached her and asked, "Miss Calio, are you also interested in these five swords?"

The girl’s eyelashes lightly trembled, her gaze raised, and even though her glasses were moderately thick, they couldn’t conceal the inherent allure in her eyes. These eyes adorned her features, diluting the scholarly aura, always pulling people away from her original personas of "scholar" and "intelligent," leaving an initial impression of a beautiful young girl.

Li Ang sensed that as she looked back, she was also evaluating him.

"Mr. Li Ang, I overheard your conversation just now; you’re a witch, correct?"

"Yes."

"Our Oktos Academy has always attempted to explore the world of Spirituality, but this path is hard to advance in, yet you’ve cultivated to a Tier Nine level, which is incredible."

Li Ang felt that she might have discovered something.

Earlier, when Viel had him deliver a letter to Thousand Tower City for his daughter, he had already shown that he absolutely boasted to his daughter about the old friend of The Soul Apex. At that time, even if ranked highly, Li Ang was the only one remaining inside, and Viel definitely mentioned him a lot.

And the girl with glasses is a brilliant student type, so unless she completely disregarded it, she should have known about someone like him beforehand.

She certainly didn’t know, though, that Li Ang had already discerned her real identity by exploiting certain advantages.

As soon as the girl with glasses finished saying, without waiting for Li Ang’s formalities, she immediately began answering his initial question.

"I am interested in historical culture. When it comes to the master artisans who can forge Treasure Artifacts, these five swords are unavoidable. This adventure provides a great opportunity to increase knowledge by observing them."

The girl spun a pen between her fingers: "After all, the central area, or the Dwarf Imperial Palace, can’t be found right now, and there’s nothing else to do."

"I’m curious about how you found this Secret Realm?" Li Ang asked again.

"Hmm," the girl tapped her lower lip with her index finger in a thinking gesture, "I discovered clues from the vast ocean of literature, then organized and summarized..."

She began to repeat topics similar to those earlier, essentially revolving around aspirations for advancement and the publication of a paper.

If the records of dwarves were easily found, they would have spread long ago, but Nebis had reportedly never been mentioned, so much so that even the concepts of "Divine People" and "Deus People" were more widespread than that of dwarves.

For now, she seems unwilling to tell the truth, so Li Ang nodded and refrained from speaking further.

Just as he returned to his companions, he saw them appraising him with scrutinizing looks.

"What did you discuss?" Elaphia’s sharp eyes resembled swords.

"Ah, Mr. Li Ang." Falo sighed.

"The Great Witch likes that kind of thing, huh? All cute and flattering like a little puppy."

Diao imitated Sif’s gentle actions with a youthful scholarly air, but she herself exuded a simple and pure feel, unable to emulate the urban and fashionable vibe of the other.

"Or is it that you like the ones well-read, even though I’ve read many ancient scrolls myself," the brown-skinned young girl said in a resentful tone.

"In your eyes, there seems to be a big problem with me." Li Ang rubbed his temple and sighed.

Given the trust level of his current companions, there was no need to conceal Sif’s identity, so he fully disclosed it.

Facing Blondie Douding’s petulance and Diao’s vinegar, this was indeed the most effective approach.

The truth of the situation temporarily relieved him from his predicament; however, they were also curious about why the girl with glasses concealed her identity and went to a Secret Realm.

On the way here, Li Ang had already discussed with Elaphia about the battle with Fafnir in the City of the Ship’s Rudder, naturally mentioning the Demon Dragon’s Soul Stealing ability, which was the truth about the dwarves’ downfall. This Secret Realm becoming a Paradise for Poison Dragons indirectly confirmed this.
