Vol 6 Chapter 3140: unexpected request

   "Ms. Portia, long time no see." Angel gave a standard greeting.
  Portia took out the lace folding fan and opened it slightly. The pattern on the fan is a very popular poker color in Sky Machine 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."
  Anger replied earnestly: "Perhaps Ms. Portia studied too seriously and forgot the time?"
   Portia smiled softly, did not answer, but set her eyes on Orao, who was next to Angel: "Hey, this tall little brother, is your new assistant?"
  Angol: "Forget it, his name is Olao, and he will conduct alchemy research with me for a long time to come."
   However, Orao is the subject of research.
   Portia raised her eyebrows: "So, little brother Olao is someone you think you can trust?"
   Before, both Antonio and Midora actually noticed Olao, but they didn't ask Olao's identity. On the contrary, Portia asked Olao at the first time. From this, it can be seen that Portia did not trust Angel very high. She could try to trust Angel because of his membership in the R&D Institute. But it's hard to believe the others around Angel.
   And Antonio and Midora believed in Angel, so they also believed in Olao brought by Angel.
   The closeness and distance are all at a glance.
  Angel doesn't care about this either. He doesn't have much contact with Portia. It's normal for her to be cautious: "Yes, it's someone I trust."
   After a pause, Angel continued: "Don't look at Olao's youthful face, but in terms of actual age, he is actually very big."
   In other words, Orao is not a little brother.
   However, Portia obviously doesn't think so, she smiled tenderly: "Age is not important, important mind. His eyes tell me that he still retains innocence and ignorance."
   This is not ironic at all.
  Olao is indeed very old, but he spends most of his time in a closed poetry room, and he can't even enter the mirror field. These ten thousand years, to him, are more like a fantasy.
   His mental age should be calculated in ten thousand years.
   In this way, it is not necessarily bigger than Portia.
   Angel thought for a while, but did not refute, but smiled: "The theme of today should not be Olao, right?"
   Portia smiled: "Of course not... Since little brother Angel is so impatient, let's get to the point?"
  Angol nodded noncommittally, and muttered in a low voice: "...Can the affix after my name be removed?"
  Portia closed the folding fan with a smile, and nodded gracefully in the direction of the light screen: "No way~ I'll change my tune when you're stronger than me."
  Angol: "…"
   Obviously everyone is an alchemist, what kind of strength do you see! Look at the technology!
  Angol complained silently in his heart, but in fact he also understood that even if he really looked at alchemy technology, he probably couldn't compare to Portia in terms of technical breadth.
   After all, Portia is a real master alchemist. Unlike him, who joined the R&D Institute at the beginning, she also relied on the back door of refining semi-mysterious things...
   What's more, Portia was hand-picked by her mother-in-law, and besides Muse, the most talented alchemist in the research and development institute.
   In terms of breadth, it is definitely better than Portia.
   But when it comes to depth, that’s another story.
   However, it is useless to say these things now. Portia doesn't talk about alchemy technology with Angel at all, and only uses her own strength to suppress it. He really has no way to refute it.
  Who made him weaker than Portia...According to the rules of the wizarding world in the southern region, he can only passively accept this title.
  Angol sighed: "Forget it, whatever."
   Seeing Angel slumped slightly, Portia laughed even happier.
   However, this smile did not last long. As Angel took the initiative to talk about Qi Li, Portia's expression slowly returned to calm.
   "...That's the way it is." Angel briefly said about Qi Li again.
   Portia smiled lightly: "Similar to what Regina said before... Are you very concerned about this Qi Li?"
  Angol just smiled and didn't answer.
   He knows too much about this kind of topic. Once a "senior" chats with you about women, there is a high probability that it will be an emotional topic next.
   It was Rhine, who was already thinking about how to match her.
   And if you were a fun witch like Portia, most likely she just wanted to listen to gossip.
  Once Portia heard the three-point gossip, at the tea party she was able to tell the gossip into nine points.
   So, it's better to keep your mouth shut.
   He is willing to listen to other people's gossip, but never wants to be the object of gossip himself.
Portia didn't embarrass Angel. Seeing Angel's unanswered question, she changed the topic kindly: "How to help Qi Li get out of the current predicament, I already have some thoughts on this. However, we will talk about this topic later. Come on, I want to talk to you about something else."
  Angol: "Okay."
   At this time, he was calm on the surface, but in his heart he said silently: It should come, but it is still here.
  Portia sent a message to him through Regina, and if she wanted to meet him, there must be something looking for him. Moreover, there is a high probability that they will use Qi Li's business to make some kind of exchange with him.
  Contact Portia's recent actions, it is definitely related to the alchemy of life...
   Just when Angel was thinking so, Portia said softly, "I want to ask you to help me make a hat."
   "I'm sorry, I haven't..." Angel was about to say, he hadn't found the magic pattern. But halfway through, he stopped.
   "Hat?" Angel raised his head suspiciously 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 the Alchemy of Life?
  Portia nodded: "Yes, I want to ask you to help me make a hat... What, you seem surprised?"
Angel quickly shook his head: "It's not surprising, I just didn't expect that Ms. Portia would ask me to make hats. As far as I know, Master Matthew and Master Gusiro are both in Sky Machine City. If you want to make hats, you can actually make hats. go find them."
"Gold Pointer" Matthew and "Moonlight Silver" Gu Shiluo are both members of the R&D Institute, and they are both masters of the blending genre of epicology. In terms of alchemy level alone, they are definitely the top in the Southern Region. .
  Although Angel is also a member of the Research and Development Institute, it is definitely impossible to say that his alchemy level must be higher than that of Matthew and Gusiro.
   This point is also the consensus of the entire alchemy circle.
  How old is Angel? How old are Matthew and Gusilo? With the accumulation of knowledge alone, Angel is definitely not as good as the latter two.
   Therefore, Angel was very puzzled about Portia coming to find him alchemy. Is there any unknown gap between Portia and Matthew and Gusiro?
  Portia: "Of course I have a consideration for who I ask for refining."
   In other words, she had considered Matthew and Gusiro, but finally chose Angel.
  Angol 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 to know what Portia valued? Portia must have some kind of inclination when she asked him to refine, and what would this inclination be?
   Moreover, let alone Portia, even if other close friends asked him to refine props, he would ask why.
   This is a question of basic principles.
  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, it just might sound absurd."
  Angel did not interrupt, but quietly watched Portia, waiting for her words.
Portia was holding a folding fan, nodded her eyebrows, and seemed to be sorting out her words. After a while, she said: "The hat I asked you to make is not for me, but for another person. This Man, you should have seen her, her name is... Dong Liz."
  Winter Liz? Angel was stunned for a moment, and the figure of a girl wearing a big hat flashed in his mind.
  Angol had indeed met Dong Liz, and he had also spoken to him. To be precise, Dong Liz took the initiative to find Angel.
   At that time, it was the Rising Stars stage.
   Angel, as a referee, did not go to every game. When not refereeing, he occasionally chooses a few games to watch.
   Once, while he and his brothers Leon and Sairum were in the audience waiting for the game to start, a girl wearing a very exaggerated Sinan hat came over.
   This person is Dong Liz, and she is also one of the contestants of the Rising Stars.
   Maybe because Dong Liz was born in Xia Luhailing, the temperament she exudes is very contradictory.
   is obviously the most innocent expression, the purest appearance, but often spit out the most vicious and cruel words.
   Her eyes were always flashing with blood, her cheeks were flushed, and the corners of her mouth evoked a vague smile, as if she was mocking the world.
   looks like a sick girl.
   has exactly the same character as the head of the "Basket Witch" in Xia Luhailing.
   Dong Liz came to the door because Angel mentioned the "Shadow Goose Girl" Sman when he was chatting with Sairum.
   And this Siman is from Xialu Hailing.
  Dong Liz looked at Angel with tender eyes: "Is your lord curious about Siman? I have some inside information about her that I can provide to you~"
   Of course, Dong Liz's information is not for nothing, she is looking for Angel in exchange.
  Dong Liz pointed to the hat on Angel's head at that time: "I only need one of the adults' hats. Your hat, if my sister wears it, must be very beautiful."
   Next, Dong Liz said some strange things, such as her sister's dream is to build a hat museum. And my sister's wish is her wish.
  Dong Liz also pointed to the vacant seat next to her and said that she wanted to introduce her sister to Sairum, 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 fantasizes about a sister who instructs her to scavenge hats everywhere.
It's fine if you just loot hats, but Liz is used to cutting off her opponents' hats and heads, because in her opinion... Hat museums must have models with hats in them, and human heads are natural model.
   It can be said that Dong Liz is one of the most cruel players in the Rising Stars competition.
   Of course, Angel finally refused Dong Liz's exchange request.
   He mentioned "Shadow Goose Girl" Siman at that time, purely because he saw the other party in the audience, and he gave his brother Leon a popular science. I didn't want to know more about Siman, so I didn't need to exchange with Dong Liz.
   After that, Angel basically never thought of Dong Liz.
   I just didn't expect that after going around for so long, I heard the name of Dong Liz from Portia's mouth. Moreover, the last time Dong Liz asked Angel to trade hats, Angel refused, this time it was Portia?
   "Ms. Portia knows Don Liz?"
  Because he had been in contact with Dong Liz, Angel could roughly guess Dong Liz's desire for a hat, but what he didn't understand was why Portia would help Dong Liz?
  Portia: "I've only met Don Liz a few times, but I'm quite familiar with her mentor."
   "Her mentor..." Angel: "You mean, the 'Basket Witch' Shalu Witch?"
  Portia nodded: "Yes, it seems that you are not too unfamiliar with Dong Liz?"
Angel: "Dong Liz once asked me for a hat, but I refused. The reason she asked me for a hat was that she wanted to open a hat museum...Ms. Portia said before that the answer you gave would be absurd, Shouldn't the 'Hat Museum' be the answer?"
   Portia: "No, but it does have something to do with her sister."
   "Her sister?" Angel was stunned: "Does she really have a sister?"
  Portia shrugged: "I don't know either, I haven't seen it anyway. But she and the witch Xia Lu said that she has a sister, so it should be."
  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 speaking.
  Portia: "It starts with the witch Xia Lu..."
   Following Portia's remarks, Angel also roughly restored the whole story.
   To put it simply, it means that Portia has one thing to ask the witch Xialu to help, and the condition that the witch Xialu proposed is to ask Portia to prepare a hat for Dong Liz.
  How difficult is it to prepare a hat in Portia's opinion? Moreover, it was even easier to prepare a hat for an apprentice, so he agreed.
  It's just that when Portia and Dong Liz negotiated later, they found that things were going a little off.
  Witch Xia Lu 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.
   Who to find to refine, let's not talk about this for the time being.
   Now what makes Portia speechless the most is that she can't see Dong Liz's sister at all, even if Dong Liz said that her sister is by Portia's side, she can't see it.
  Portia thought that Don Liz was lying, but after using the mantra, she found that Don Liz was telling the truth.
  Dong Liz said that she wanted a hat, but she didn't feel anything; but she insisted that it was her sister who asked for the hat, which made her feel very speechless.
   Moreover, Don Liz also said that she hopes to communicate with her sister before refining the hat.
   It is normal to communicate before alchemy. But making a hat for an invisible "sister" and communicating with him, even Portia felt absurd.
   But that's the real reason.
