Angel gave Fritz a long look. He was somewhat interested in this man's research.
However, Angel did not speak to Fritz right away. Instead, he walked over to Dangros.
Dangros was clearly still immersed in his own world. Even when Angel approached, he showed no reaction whatsoever.
Seeing Dangros looking like an addict, Angel muttered to himself, Could it really be something addictive?
Angel summoned a pale-blue Magic Hand and scooped Dangros up from the ground.
Because Dangros was smeared with that fiery red liquid, when the Magic Hand touched Dangros, it naturally came into contact with the liquid as well.
The Magic Hand Angel now released was even more sensitive to energy than his ordinary hand. And that fiery red liquid happened to contain a certain kind of energy.
Feeling the scorching, tingling sensation on the Magic Hand, Angel said softly, "This is... Quenching Liquid."
Fritz, who stood bent over nearby, clearly recognized Angel as well. In a slightly trembling voice, he said respectfully, "Y-yes. Dangros likes Quenching Liquid, so I... I helped smear it on him."
Quenching Liquid was a special combustion aid. Usually, only alchemy apprentices carried it with them, because they could not control flame temperatures as precisely as true alchemists and could only rely on methods like Quenching Liquid.
Seeing Angel remain silent, Fritz asked worriedly, "My lord, is Quenching Liquid bad for Dangros? I, I..."
Angel carefully observed Dangros.
Quenching Liquid only raised the temperature of flames. Dangros was a flame lifeform, so Quenching Liquid should not harm him. At least, Angel could not sense anything wrong with Dangros at present. The only difference from before was his body temperature, which was somewhat higher than usual. If he were placed on deadwood, then even without actively releasing flames, Dangros could ignite it with the
