Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 3082: Chapter 3083: Minister Kins

"Woof woof woof—"

The Dalmatian seemed to be in a good mood, even its bark sounded upbeat.

Angel initially thought the Dalmatian had already provided an explanation. He eagerly awaited Wang Wang’s translation.

But after waiting for a long while, he didn’t hear Wang Wang speak.

Angel could only take the initiative to ask.

Upon hearing Angel’s question, Wang Wang calmly replied: "Master didn’t say anything."

Angel: "Didn’t you hear the series of barking just now?"

Wang Wang: "I did. Master was probably very happy to see the recorded screen you sent."

Probably happy? So, even you don’t know what it just barked about?

Angel immediately understood. The Dalmatian was starting again, even banning private communication with Wang Wang this time.

Angel was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth: "If you don’t want to talk about the Time Tribute, we can discuss the outer black surrounding belt, or say, the information of the owners of the two voices in the screen."

After a moment, the Dalmatian: "Woof woof~"

Wang Wang: "Master said it’s going to the Forging Room. Next time when you transmit images, call it."

Angel: "...it’s leaving now? What if I transmit a new image right now?"

After a few seconds, Angel heard the Dalmatian’s cheerful bark.

Wang Wang continued translating: "Master is waiting for you to transmit an image."

Now it’s available again? Angel rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, feeling that the Dalmatian was playing him... Clearly in reality, the Dalmatian was obedient and well-behaved, how did a "network" turn it rebellious like a dog?

About half a minute later, Angel transmitted a new image to Wang Wang.

Wang Wang, acting as the transmission medium, could evidently see the content Angel transmitted. It hesitated for a moment and asked: "Are you sure you want to send these images to Master?"

Angel replied without hesitation: "Send."

The Dalmatian then started barking again, seemingly urging Wang Wang to upload the images quickly.

At this moment, Wang Wang felt very hesitant because these images might be somewhat embarrassing for the master.

This was a dynamic image—

It started with complete darkness, the only sound was the footsteps of a person.

This black screen lasted for three minutes, with footsteps for three minutes, during which the sound of footsteps went from slow to fast, seemingly demonstrating the increasingly urgent mood of the owner of the footsteps.

Then the screen transitioned to the last scene.

The black screen finally disappeared, but the background in the screen was still unclear. Everything around was shrouded in white mist, only vaguely revealing the outline of a city wall.

In the screen, a small Dalmatian puppy raised its chest, walked proudly with small steps in the mist.

Suddenly, familiar footsteps arrived, a shadow emerged from behind the puppy, grabbing the skin on the puppy’s neck, and in the puppy’s bewildered expression, hugged it in the middle of a shake.

The person daring to manhandle the Dalmatian was Angel.

Only when the puppy’s fur was rub-tangled, was it placed on the ground.

Next, in the puppy’s expression of "Who am I, where am I, what am I doing", Angel waved his sleeve and turned to exit the mist.

That’s the entire image.

In Wang Wang’s view, the master was played by Angel like this, and this image was rather "rebellious"!

Moreover, another reason for Wang Wang’s reluctance to transmit was that in the last image, after Angel played with the puppy, waved his sleeve, and turned away, he left words:

"It’s best to emphasize the subject when shooting an image; don’t imitate my situation of leaving a blank for three minutes initially. The audience doesn’t want to start watching from the Big Bang."

This was questioning the master’s shooting skills!

Furthermore, Angel deliberately recorded three minutes of black screen footsteps, isn’t it just to mock the master’s initial behavior of leisurely pacing around?

After realizing this, Wang Wang was very hesitant. It was considering whether it should help smooth things out if Angel didn’t modify them.

However, before Wang Wang started smoothing, the Dalmatian obtained the raw footage from Wang Wang through "another communication channel".

After several minutes of silence, just when Wang Wang thought Angel might mess up this time, the Dalmatian obediently barked in the Void network.

And this bark, Wang Wang understood.

"Master said it understood... it will visit Minister Kings later, at which time new images will be sent for Your Excellency’s appreciation."

Wang Wang finished explaining and felt it a bit surreal. Though it knew the Dalmatian and Angel had a good relationship, Angel’s actions of hugging and patting the Dalmatian were said to be something even the master didn’t dare do, and yet Angel was allowed?

While Wang Wang was incredulous, on the other side, Angel was also a bit surprised the Dalmatian listened this time.

However, considering in reality the Dalmatian was also compliant, Angel’s surprise wasn’t too much.

What caught his attention, instead, was the mention of transmitting new images.

Angel also understood why the Dalmatian would transmit new images — it was previously mentioned as an "exchange of records."

Unexpectedly, he transmitted a past image, and the Dalmatian also acknowledged it.

Indeed, Angel’s transmission this time, apart from the initial three-minute black screen and the final sentence, everything else truly happened. It was part of his initial encounter with the Dalmatian in Sleepless City.

At the time, Sleepless City had fallen, with a dome shrouding the entire city, allowing entry but no exit. Even an Official Wizard couldn’t escape once entering Sleepless City.

And then, Angel and Sanders were also trapped in Sleepless City.

In the end, the one who led them out was the Dalmatian.

The Dalmatian walked with its little short legs, passed through the mist, leading Angel and others out of the dome.

Angel captured the last scene and created this image.

If past images with the Dalmatian could also be used for "exchange", then he might strike a big deal with the Dalmatian... However, soon after having this thought, Angel self-denied.

Presumably, the Dalmatian wouldn’t be willing to exchange past images either.

This time, the Dalmatian agreed, perhaps due to the effectiveness of the purposely recorded last sentence... or simply the Dalmatian’s "tolerance."

Using someone else’s tolerance to seek benefits is absolutely unwise.

Angel set aside ideas of shortcut paths, naturally paying attention to another important piece of information mentioned by the Dalmatian.

Minister Kins.

This was a new minister, probably similar to Minister Nuka of Agriculture and Minister Dim of Arms, a powerful figure in the Nightmare Realm. But specifically what Kins was responsible for, was unknown.

However, in reality, Angel has met Kins.

Just like Nuka, Dim, Mana... these all have corresponding people in Gru Town. Similarly, Kins also has a corresponding person in Gru Town.

In reality, Kins was once an instructor at the Sambia Military Academy, responsible for educating the Empire’s cultivated commanders. Later, Kins seemed to experience some unpleasantness at the academy, so he left Sambia and returned to his hometown, Gru Town.

After returning to Gru Town, Kins was arranged by Old Pat to teach basic knowledge to some children in town.

Although Angel was never taught by Kins, he observed this gentlemanly and gentle elder more than once at Jon’s stilted cabin.

Jon and Kins had a very good relationship.

However, later, Kins fell seriously ill and eventually passed away.

Considering Kins’ real-life situation, might the Minister Kins in the Nightmare Realm be the Minister of Arms?

Angel didn’t know, and he didn’t dare ask, given that he bore the guise of "Your Excellency" that logically had knowledge of all ministers’ information.

Although the Dalmatian might know some things about Angel, as long as the Dalmatian didn’t proactively bring it up, he didn’t intend to reveal his identity.

What specific duties Minister Kins has, perhaps can be speculated once the Dalmatian sends the images over.
