"It's him! The legendary wizard … 'Phantom Master' Sunders! "
Everyone in the resource allocation hall was shocked. They all looked at Angor in awe, and some of them even took a step back.
Hookdick shivered as he watched the scene. He had a bad feeling about this.
As for the rest of the talents, they were at a loss. "Who's Sunders?" Someone asked Abelle in a low voice.
Abelle was still in shock. She slowly turned around and looked at the speaker like a robot. "Phantom Master Sunders, a level-2 wizard. He's the most powerful wizard in the southern region. He even managed to defeat a level-3 wizard without losing a fight. He's one of the top three fighters in Brute Cavern. He might even … become the champion. "
When Abelle finished speaking in a numb manner, everyone looked at Angor with envy. With the guidance of such a powerful Adept, wouldn't the possibility of successfully advancing to an Adept be almost guaranteed?
At this moment, hearing the apprentices' whispers, the talents also came to their senses. No wonder … No wonder Melaner, the maid in the Tree Spirit Hall who was bothering Fosah, suddenly changed her mind after the talent test. She must have seen Sunders' name on Angor's bone card, which was why she did that.
Hookdick's face grew paler with each new addition. Every new addition made Hookdick's face turn a shade paler.
"You were so cocky earlier, saying you're going to kill this little boy. Now you're getting slapped in the face. Heh. I know it's not nice of me to say this, but I have to say that Mister Ness will never win against Mister Sunders, "a woman wrapped in a black robe mocked Hookdick.
"You —" Hookdick turned around and glared at the woman.
The black-robed woman slowly took off her hood, revealing her true appearance. She had a very unique face. She had charming purple eyes, short dark black hair, and deep crimson red lips. She had an exotic charm. Her eyes were like a cat's, and when she squinted, her pupils were vertical, giving off a chilling and solemn aura.
"It's Nanagi!" An apprentice called out the name of the newcomer.
"Who is Nanagi?"
"When Nana first came to Brute Cavern, she was accepted as an official student by Mister Wallace. She was the only one with a golden poster in her class. She only used an extremely short amount of time to reach the peak of advanced apprentice! "
"He's not even 30 years old yet. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a Sorcerer!" The onlookers exclaimed.
Hookdick was about to curse when he heard that, but he stopped himself. This woman was also a possessor of a golden poster. Moreover, she had cultivated for a longer period of time than him. She could annihilate him a thousand times with a single finger. He did not dare to offend such an expert because of his blabbering.
Nanagi ignored Hookdick completely. She walked to Angor's side and circled him with her cat-like eyes.
Angor did not know what she meant and gave her a puzzled look.
"I'm so jealous of you. Mister Sunders took you in as a student. If only I could …" Nanaji spoke in a low voice. Nanagi shook her head and walked away from the crowd. "I hope you won't ruin Mister Sunders' reputation. Or I'll kill you."
Nanagi came for no reason, then left with some random words. Angor did not know what the woman was trying to say. Did she have something to do with his professor?
He grumbled in his mind and returned to his seat.
After Nanagi left, the crowd slowly quieted down. However, both talents and apprentices began to look at Angor with different expressions. Some were jealous, some were envious, some held grudges, and some were cold. But no matter how hostile they were, they did not dare to show it to Angor.
How did Sunders get his reputation? It was built on blood and slaughter. The video message showed how much importance Sunders attached to this new student. They did not want to mess with the tiger's whiskers at a time like this.
Hookdick glared at Angor. He wanted to say something, but when he thought about how everyone was afraid of Sunders, he swallowed his words back in the end.
In the end, Balba broke the silence. He stood up and stood in front of Abelle with his imposing figure.
"My turn," Balba spoke in a hoarse voice that sounded like a subwoofer.
Abelle finally woke up from her shock when she heard Balba's voice. She adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and shyly said, "Okay." Then she stepped to the side.
Balba took out his bone card and placed it in the groove on the disk.
After a short while, the disc did not emit any light, nor did any strange phenomena appear. Balba's expression darkened when he saw the empty disk. But no one dared to say anything. Even Hookdick kept his mouth shut. It took him a long time to calm down after being slapped in the face by Angor. If he spoke up now, he might remind others of what happened earlier. So, he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Balba waited for another moment, but nothing happened. He clenched his fists so hard that the veins on his neck bulged. He forcefully pulled the bone card out of the disk and walked to the side.
Abelle saw this and comforted him in a small voice, "Don't worry. At least 60% of the talents in each batch don't get a post. This batch is a little special because there aren't many talents. Most of them got a post …" Abelle suddenly stopped talking. She did not feel that she was trying to comfort Balba. As she expected, when Abelle looked at Balba again, his expression was even darker than before. There were only 10 talents. Logically speaking, everyone should have been able to get a poster. But even so, he didn't get one. Didn't this mean that he was worthless in the eyes of the Great Wizard?!
Abelle stuck out her tongue and cursed herself in her mind. "Stupid mouth."
Abelle calmed down a little and led Balba to the counter on the side.
"If you don't get a post, you can only get a random teacher. Maybe you'll get a better one," Abelle said.
Better one? Balba showed a sarcastic smile and did not say anything. Under Abelle's guidance, he placed the bone card on the counter.
The clerk at the counter took the bone card and threw it into a wooden pipe that looked like a diving goggle. After some clanking sounds, the bone card and a dark-red card were thrown out of the pipe together.
Looking at the familiar crimson card, Abelle said, "Huh? It's another card from Lady Flora. "
The attendant handed the bone card and the dark red card to Balba. "Congratulations. You've been assigned to Lady Flora."
The clerk's expression was a little strange. Even the word "congratulations" sounded a little strange.
At this time, a talent whispered to Abelle, "Is Lady Flora that cruel? Why do you all look so strange? "
Abelle shook her head. "Lady Flora is always nice to female talents. Nausica's post is nice. But she's a bit … ahem … to men …"
"Oh right, Lady Flora's teacher is Mister Sunders. Angor and Lady Flora are from the same teacher," Abelle said.
…
After the assignment, Abelle led everyone out of the resource distribution hall and arranged their accommodations.
"I didn't know you had such a powerful wizard as your teacher!" Sailum exclaimed.
Angor did not comment. "I don't think it's necessary. It was Mister Sunders and Lady Flora who were controlling the cloud whale. "
Nausica had received Flora's post before, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is Lady Flora that wizard?"
"The one who carries an umbrella barefoot and likes to float in the air. That's her," Angor said.
"So it's her." Nausica saw a girl wearing a delicate dress floating in the air with an umbrella, while a handsome blond young man was sitting under a tree, reading a book while chatting with the girl.
Nausica saw this by chance on the cloud whale. The girl was Flora, and the blond young man was Angor.
Nausica glanced at Balba, who was trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Balba blushed a little when Nausica noticed him eavesdropping, but his skin was too dark to notice it.
Nausica smiled at Balba. Then she rolled her eyes and asked Angor, "What do you think?"
"I remember Abelle saying that Lady Flora isn't very friendly to men. But I saw that you two were getting along quite well on the cloud whale."
Getting along well? Angor tried to recall the time he spent with Flora on the cloud whale. Flora was like a little witch. She always teased him with words, and she often played pranks on him. Sometimes, her pranks were even dangerous. But Angor was not hurt at all. Although Flora was playing tricks on him, the Red Reaper behind her, "Little Red", was very friendly to him. Whenever Flora played a prank on him, Little Red would quietly guide him and help him survive.
Angor believed that if it was someone else, he or she would end up in a worse situation. No one could see Little Red.
He gave Nausica a bitter smile. "Ugh … I don't know if Flora treats women better than other women. But I do know that she's a bit … naughty. Normal people can't live a good life in her hands. "
Nausica teased, "You're living a good life, aren't you? So, you're not a normal person? "
Angor shook his head and did not answer.
Balba understood that Nausica was trying to help him in this way. He acted like he did not care about anything, but he was still worried about the wizarding world. Nausica's small gesture earned his gratitude.
…
Tree Spirit Garden was huge. Even though they took an aerial bus made of tree vines, it still took them half an hour to reach their destination.
After getting off the bus, the hollow railcar made of green vines and thin wood sped away into the distance.
"Amazing. It can fly on such a thin branch. This bus is awesome!" Sailum exclaimed in excitement. It was his first time riding on such a fast vehicle.
A carriage made of green leaves and vines hung on a branch of the Tree of Eternity and traveled among the clouds. This was the aerial bus made of tree vines and leaves.
"It's fast, and the scenery is great." The bus was bathed in the warm sunlight, surrounded by clouds, and stirred up strong winds. It was an eye-opener for everyone.
Abelle spoke while the others chatted about the aerial bus, "Brute Cavern's vehicles are already old. I heard that in the faraway Evron, there are steel buildings everywhere. Trains and tracks are everywhere. There are also steel carts that can run on rails. There are also steam airships in the sky. Everyone who goes there is amazed by the alchemy industry there."
Trains, airships, steel buildings, and steel carts. All of them were men's romantic dreams.
Almost everyone, including Nausica, kept the name "Evory" in mind and hoped that one day, they could visit the place and have a look.
About five minutes later, they could see the buildings in the distance.
"We're here." Abelle pointed at a green field in front of them and said, "This is where you will live."
Looking at the boundless wilderness, because the sunlight was blocked by the Tree of Eternity, the green field also seemed a little dark and sparse because it grew under the tree's shade.
But that was not the point. The point was that there were no buildings in sight.
"Isn't it over there?" Fatty Fosah pointed to the left. Looking in the direction Fosah was pointing at, they could see a rather large settlement.
The place was filled with houses made of all kinds of materials and shapes.
Not only were there tall buildings made of earth and stone, but there were also short mushroom houses, wooden houses decorated with flowers, and luxurious castles built beside lakes. No matter the size of the buildings, they were all exquisite and dazzling.
Abelle smiled. "That's the Eighth Apprentice Town of Tree Spirit Garden. There are 36 apprentice towns in Tree Spirit Garden, from the First Apprentice Town to the Thirty-Sixth Apprentice Town. They are all named according to their numbers.
"All the apprentice towns have large magic arrays carved by adepts under the ground. They allow us to enter a meditative state more easily. It saves us a lot of effort. That's why every apprentice wants to live in an apprentice town. But you need magic crystals to live in an apprentice town. " Abelle touched her purse and pointed at the field. "If we don't have magic crystals, we'll have to live down there."
"This field doesn't have a name, but we call it the Crypt Field. That was because the underground was hollowed out and extended in all directions. There were many tunnels and rooms. If you don't have enough magic crystals to live in the apprentice town, you can only live in the underground cave. "
So it's underground. Only then did the group of talents come to a realization.
When they first came to the Fey Continent, they stayed in the underground cave outside Twilight Town for a day, so they didn't mind living underground.
However, when they walked into the underground cave, they finally understood why the rooms were free.
Abelle led the group into the dark crypt. Soon, they saw a small room with a simple iron door. Abelle pointed at the iron door and said, "Don't be fooled by its simple appearance. It's even more simple inside."
She pushed the iron door open and a room less than two square meters appeared in front of them.
There was nothing in the cubicle except for a tall platform.
"You can use the platform as a bed or a table. The person who dug the hole casually put it there. You can do whatever you want with it." Abelle continued, "Basically, every room here is like this. You can choose where you want to live. Once you've checked in, just put your bone card in the dent on the iron door and it'll record it. A sign will also appear on the door. "
"Alright, my job is done. I wish you all the best." Abelle bowed to them with a smile and left on her tri-colored deer.
