Angor, who was still at the Old Earth, had no idea what was going on in Genoa.
Thewis brought White Bear into the exile space in an attempt to provoke Eureka. Angor and Sunders, on the other hand, headed to the underground ice chamber.
Angor kept frowning along the way. Again, Thewis told him no. It was not easy for servants affected by the Crimson Crown to get rid of the mysterious energy in their minds. Even if they could, they would not be able to survive in their current condition.
Angor already expected this result, but he still found it hard to accept.
Every time he thought about the people he knew — Head Maid Mana, Maid Olga, Shepherd Falando, Doctor Dink … They were all alive and well, but all of them died because of an unexpected disaster. Angor could not calm himself down for a long time.
"If you can't transcend, death is your only way out. Once you become a wizard, you must learn how to make peace with death, "Sunders said. "If nothing goes wrong, you will live a long life. When the wind blows from the cliff of time, you will still have to face the same result 50 or 100 years later."
Angor understood this. He might live for a long time, long enough to kill all the servants in Padt Manor.
Time would allow him to grow up, mature, and die coldly.
But at least for now, Angor could not make peace with death. It had been less than five years since he embarked on the path of a Sorcerer, but many of the people he was familiar with had accompanied him as he grew up. This kind of relationship was really hard to give up.
Sunders put a hand on Angor's shoulder. "You saw what happened to them. Death is a relief for them."
"Death might be a release for them." Angor stopped. "But I don't think so. But no matter what, I'll try my best to save them. "
They had arrived at the entrance of the underground ice chamber. With that, he turned around and entered the room first.
Sunders did not comment on Angor's words. As a bystander, he could speak in a casual manner, but he also knew that sympathy was all fake. Bystanders could not understand the feelings of those involved.
Angor had to figure out a way to get out of this haze by himself.
Time was a rusty knife, but it could also be a good medicine to heal wounds.
…
Inside the underground ice chamber, Sunders narrowed his eyes when he saw Jon inside the ice coffin.
A ray of light flickered in Saunders' eyes. He saw a large amount of data flowing out of Jon's body, which surprised him a lot.
Jon was a human, just as Angor said.
However, Sunders was not surprised because of Jon's identity. It was because Sunders did not notice Jon's background.
He always had doubts when he heard about Jon from Angor. He even believed that Jon might be the descendant of a human who had left the World of Adepts long ago. Generations after generations, the aura in his bloodline had changed with time, which was why it conflicted with the Will of the World of Adepts.
But after his inspection, Jon's background was really not from the Magus World!
He was indeed a human from another world.
So the theory about the origin of humans could be changed, Sunders thought. It was not a big deal for him, but if wizards who liked to trace the origin of humans found out about it, it would become a huge bomb.
While Sunders observed Jon, Angor stood aside and nodded to Soupy, who had been protecting Jon all this time.
Soupy was Thewis' familiar, a two-headed hound. Just like Thewis, Soupy had bright red fur. One of its heads was covered by a black ribbon and seemed to be sleeping, while the other head was staring at Angor with its emerald-like eyes.
"Thank you for taking care of me all this time. Now, you can leave this place to me and my professor." Subi's deep eyes showed that he was thinking about something.
Soupy looked at Angor, and then at Sunders.
"Your blood aura is much stronger now. I can't tell how strong your professor is. I'll leave this place to you, "Soupy said through spirit ripples.
Soupy nodded and stood up from the ground. It turned into a red whirlwind and left the underground ice room.
Angor waited until Soupy was gone before he approached the ice coffin.
Jon's body did not seem to have changed much compared to when he left earlier.
This was because when Chown regained the balance of the three states, there would be a period of recovery for his physical fitness. During this period, his physical fitness would no longer deteriorate. However, once this period passed, there would be another period of deterioration.
The current time was right in the middle of the rising period and the decline period, so Chown's body didn't change much.
Sunders decided not to think about Jon's identity as an otherworldly human for now and carefully observed Jon's body. However, as he inspected Jon's body, Sunders' expression turned serious.
The ice room remained silent for a long time. After a long while, Sunders sighed and broke the silence.
"Jon's body is not as bad as the servants who were affected by the Crimson Crown. But he's still suffering from a lot of problems. "The balance of the three states is indeed the best way to maintain Jon's vitality. But your choice will only make things more complicated. Originally, I only needed to solve the problem of his physical body. Now, I have to give a perfect solution to each side of the three-state balance at the same time. Only then can I let Jon live again. "
Angor understood this as well. However, Eureka had already done the same for Jon when he returned to the Old Earth. He had no choice but to use the same method to improve Jon's vitality.
It sounded like Eureka was responsible for the tri-state balance. But in fact, he was grateful to Eureka for helping him achieve it. If Eureka did not choose the balance of the three states, Jon would have died before Angor returned to the Old Earth. Eureka didn't do anything wrong in Jon's case. In fact, she helped Angor a lot.
"Can you solve Jon's problem?" Angor asked carefully. He was looking forward to the answer.
Sunders remained silent for a long time. His mood plummeted to the bottom of the abyss.
"Is there really no hope for him?"
Sunders did not nod or shake his head. "Jon's three states are the corrosion of his consciousness, the decay of his body, and the consumption of Life Draw Water. It's very difficult to solve this problem.
"Although it's difficult, it's not impossible to solve. I can't give you a specific solution yet. I need more time to do some research. But — "
Angor sighed in relief when he heard that there was a way to solve the problem. But Sunders' proviso made her unsettled heart hang in the air again.
"However, although the solution still needs to be considered, the two problems that I can see now are not so easy to solve." Sunders pointed at a particular pattern on Jon's body. "The first one is this Abyssal Rune.
"The current Abyssal Rune is not suitable for Jon. To solve this problem, we need a gentle and mild rune that is suitable for Jon's body." Sunders shrugged. "It's not easy. You should know that the Supreme Cult has suppressed the study of runes in the southern wizarding region. It's very difficult to find a suitable rune here."
"What if we can't find a suitable rune in the southern wizarding region? I can use the Frozen Citadel's phase gate to go to other wizarding worlds, "Angor quickly thought to himself.
"That's one way. However, it's best if we don't have any other alternatives. Due to the death of the Demon God's soul, the powerful beings from the Abyss Plane should be keeping an eye on Yuantan Continent. We need to be careful when we enter. There's another problem we need to consider. "
"Even if we can find a perfect solution to the three-state balance problem, we'll need at least three truth-finder wizards to carry it out at the same time," said Sunders. "I can be one of them, and so can Sumesh. As for the last one, we don't have one yet."
As a matter of fact, it was not difficult to find a truth-finder wizard with Sunders' connections. There were other truth-finders in Brute Cavern who could do the job, but Sunders didn't want to use this problem as a challenge.
Sumesh was a member of Phantom Island, so he wouldn't tell anyone about Jon's condition even if he knew about it.
Which meant the last one was a problem. If Sunders gave it to someone else, Jon's condition would be exposed. Angor already knew that Jon's condition would be exposed, but he still didn't want to reveal it so easily.
"It's not something we need to solve right now. I can try to extend Jon's lifespan. You can take your time to think about it." Sunders gave Angor an unreadable look. "Of course, it'll be best if you can solve this problem within Phantom Island."
Angor understood what Sunders meant. He didn't want Flora to become a truth-finder wizard in a short time. Sunders wanted Angor to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Angor wanted to, but he couldn't.
Still, Sunders' words left a mark in his mind. He couldn't guarantee that he could do it, but it was enough to motivate him.
