Angor's steps were frozen. The hologram displayed everything he saw at the time.
He didn't pay attention to the scattered paintings around him. Instead, he focused his attention on the black oil painting.
It was a realistic portrait. There were two people in the painting, a man and a woman.
Under the black curtain, a middle-aged man with a mustache was sitting on a leather chair with a high back. He was wearing a dark red vest with white lace embroidered on it. The other woman was a young lady in her late twenties. She was wearing a very retro emerald green threaded leather skirt. Her gorgeous blonde hair was tied into a bun. The young lady's perfect face was propped up against the back of the chair, looking innocent and unaffected.
There was also a line of small, white, flowery words on the upper right corner of the painting. If one did not look carefully, they would only look like patterns on the black curtain.
He zoomed in and saw the words written in white cursive on the screen.
— Records of Margaret's sixteenth birthday, Franklin.
Margaret? Angor remembered the name. She was the warden's daughter.
Judging from how close Margaret was to the middle-aged man, Angor guessed that the man was the warden of Stairs of Hanging Prison. So this Franklin was the warden's name? Or was Franklin the artist's name?
Angor turned off the hologram tablet and confirmed his guess. The Milking Shepherd painting was not in the original painting.
Why did the original "Portrait of Father and Daughter" become "Milking Shepherd"? Did someone change it? Or was there some other strange reason behind it?
Angor picked up the "Milking Shepherd" and studied it carefully. It was just a normal oil painting. If there was nothing wrong with the painting, then where did the other "Father and Daughter" painting go? If someone really wanted to switch, why did they do it? Did they just not want people to see their faces?
That was too strange … Angor thought for a while but could not come up with an answer. He could only attribute it to the Nightmare Realm.
…
The night passed. Angor woke up early and fed Toby. Then he took out the training notes Sunders gave him and began reading.
But before he could read for a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.
"Angor, Angor! Angor!" Sailum's excited voice was heard as he knocked on the door.
Angor opened the door and saw Sailum standing in front of him with a happy expression. "Angor, you're already awake. Why didn't you come up?"
"Up? Where are we going? "Sailum's sudden question confused Angor.
"The deck! Don't you know? We're arriving at Brute Cavern today! During breakfast, the first mate said we'll arrive at our destination in the morning. All talents are on the deck! Let's go! "
"So what? Why on the deck?" Angor looked at Sailum's tightly wrapped body. "The deck is so cold. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Sailum reached out his hand from the pocket of his windbreaker. He was also wearing a pair of cotton gloves. "It's fine. wearing enough.. We're about to arrive at Brute Cavern. What a memorable moment! Don't you want to look down at the place from the sky? "
Overlooking the place where he would live for a long time. Angor considered the suggestion and decided it was not a bad idea to check it out.
Just like Sailum, Angor fully armed himself and went to the deck with Toby.
On their way, Angor saw more talents coming out of their rooms. They all wanted the same thing, which was to have a bird's eye view of Brute Cavern. It was not only to satisfy their curiosity, but also to observe the terrain and make a general plan for their future.
Angor quickly saw Hookdick standing among the crowd on the deck. He was standing in the center of three or four people and seemed to be preaching something. Hookdick patted his chest proudly from time to time.
Angor gave him a quick glance and walked to the right side of the railing with Sailum. Nausica was leaning against the railing while smoking a cigarette. She puffed out smoke from time to time, which made her look both dreamy and sexy.
"Miss Nausica!" Sailum happily greeted her.
Nausica looked up at them and smiled back. "You're here too."
"Yeah. I wonder what Brute Cavern looks like. I heard wizard organizations are built in mysterious places. Normal people can't find the entrance at all." Sailum's eyes flashed with hope. "My mother told me about the fairy tale of Moon Castle when I was little. Will Brute Cavern be like Moon Castle, which only shows its magnificent shape under the moonlight?"
"Who knows? Maybe. I've heard rumors about wizards in Blackberry Waters. I heard that there's a wizard organization built on the Coral Islands, and I wanted to look for them. I didn't expect to come to Brute Cavern by chance, "Nausica replied.
"Wizards from the Coral Islands. That sounds like a dream." Sailum began to imagine again.
"A wizard organization on the Coral Islands? You mean White Coral Floating Island Academy? "Angor asked.
"Uh, I think so. You've heard of it before? "Nausica asked.
Angor chuckled. "I had the same experience as you. I was following a guide to White Coral Floating Island Academy, but I changed my path halfway and went to Brute Cavern instead."
"I'm not as lucky as you. I didn't have a guide. I just wandered around aimlessly, trying to find … White Coral Floating Island Academy." Nausica blew out a smoke ring. "Now that I think about it, I was really naive. If I didn't find something on the way, I would've been buried in this sea. "
Nausica recalled her experience at Devil's Water and the endless thunderclouds. She did have a reason to feel that way.
"Angor, you heard about White Coral Floating Island Academy? Do you know what it's like? Is it like Moonlight Castle, full of magical colors? "Sailum asked eagerly.
Angor shook his head. "I've never been there either. But I saw pictures of another wizard organization in a book. It's called Floating Mech City. It's a giant steel city floating above the clouds. Only supernatural beings can fly there. Mortals can only look up from the ground. "
Floating Mech City was a famous trade city in the southern wizarding region. It was open to all wizards, so there were pictures of the city.
"A city in the clouds! Sounds even more exciting than the academy on Coral Island. " Sailum's eyes twinkled. He imagined a giant city appearing at the end of the clouds after parting the endless clouds. It shone with fascinating light.
Apart from Floating Mech City, Angor also visited Nether City, so he briefly described the ruins of this wizard city which people later named "Garden of Labyrinth".
Wizards on the Coral Islands, a steel fortress in the clouds, a city with a combination of a labyrinth and a garden … Just imagining it made him excited.
"I wonder what Brute Cavern will be like?" Sailum was sure that Brute Cavern, one of the top ten organizations in the southern wizarding region, would also bring a great shock to the city.
However, reality always went against one's wishes.
