Reynolds led Nausica north along the coast of Chambord.
When they came to an elephant-like rock jutting out of the sea, Reynolds turned to look at the grove behind the beach.
"That should be the entrance."
Nausica gave Reynolds a doubtful glance. "Should be? You've never been there? "
Nausica noticed Reynolds as soon as she got off the boat. He seemed to be injured. She could sense a faint blood aura coming from his body, which was different from that of a human. But Reynolds was a human, so Nausica was sure that Reynolds had absorbed some kind of non-human bloodline.
In that case, Reynolds's identity was self-evident. He was definitely a supernatural being.
Since Reynolds was an Extraordinary, why hadn't he been to the Sorcerer's Fair nearby?
"I'm not a local. Something happened, so I went to a fishing village to recover. I was planning to explore the market today, but I didn't expect to meet you here, Miss Nausica. " After Reynolds explained, he continued, "The Fass Gap is the name of this Adept Bazaar. The landmark is the Elephant Trunk Sea Rock on the sea."
As Reynolds spoke, he walked towards the forest. "In the small forest corresponding to the Elephant Trunk Sea Rock, the first palm tree you encounter side by side is the door."
Reynolds took a few steps and stopped. There were two palm trees in front of him, with a gap of about two meters between them.
Nausica looked at them and sensed familiar energy waves coming from between the trees.
It was the energy waves of an alternate dimension!
Nausica went to Twilight Well during Twilight Auction. Twilight Well was an alternate dimension. The entrance was behind a white wall behind Enchanting Theater.
The energy waves she sensed were exactly the same as the ones coming from the trees.
"If this really is an alternate dimension of the wizard market …" Nausica reached her hand inside. A ripple appeared in the air, and her hand went to the other side.
She was right. Nausica saw this and no longer doubted Angor. Generally speaking, if the Sorcerer Bazaar was placed in an alternate dimension, then it was set so that mortals could not enter, but Extraordinaires could.
She took a step forward and vanished into thin air.
Reynolds glanced at him and took a step forward.
What greeted their eyes was a long and narrow street. Iron buildings of different heights stood on both sides of the street. There were all kinds of strange floating decorations, which gave the place a strange and mysterious atmosphere.
The sky above them was cloudy, which was completely different from the blue sky outside. The chimneys of every shop were spewing white smoke. Nausica did not know what they were releasing.
Floating airships were flying back and forth in the sky to clear the smoke.
Nausica could also hear the whistle of a steam train coming from afar.
"So this is … the Fass Gap?" Nausica looked around with interest. She found this place to be quite interesting. Compared to Floating Mech City, this place was less cold and hard, and more mechanical than Brute Cavern, which was pure fantasy.
Yet, there did not seem to be anything out of place.
Nausica walked forward. No one paid any attention to her since there were too many people around her. Besides, most of the supernaturals here were wearing strange clothes. No one would pay attention to them, let alone Nausica.
It had been a while since she left the wizarding world. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all when she reunited with the supernatural world.
The only thing that puzzled her was …
Nausica turned to Reynolds and asked, "Anything else?"
Reynolds shook his head. "Nothing. I heard you say you're going to participate in the Rising Star Competition?"
Nausica nodded. News about the Rising Star Competition had spread like wildfire among the apprentices, and quite a few people knew about it.
"I'm going too. Let's go together?"
…
A moment later, Nausica arrived at a green building with an owl mailbox in front of it.
To Nausica's surprise, the building was crowded with people. Many of them were yelling, "Save one for me! Hurry up and save it for me! Don't fight over it! "
"Give me one, sir! I've put the magic crystal here!"
"It's mine! Get your hands off me! Or I'll kick your ass! "
The noise spread from inside the building to outside until someone yelled, "Shut up! Don't fight! Don't make a fuss! I'll throw all of you out if you make any more noise! "
The crowd quieted down for a while, but they did not stop moving their hands.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to speak again, "The Nocturnal Forest printed a lot of copies this time. I have enough to supply you all. Line up. I promise you'll get them! If they're sold out, I'll go to Genoa and get more! "
The crowd followed the shopkeeper's order and formed a long line.
Nausica was surprised to see this. She heard that the new issue of Firefly's Nighttale was being sold here, so she came here right away. She did not expect it to be so popular.
As more and more people came to the bookstore, Nausica quickly joined the line.
"The Rising Star Competition is coming. Firefly's Nighttale has a special feature on it. That's why it's so popular," Reynolds whispered.
Firefly's Nighttale had a lot of information about all the potential seedlings in the wizarding world. Whether they participated in the competition or not, it was a good chance for them to learn more about the current situation.
Nausica agreed with Reynolds as well.
Reynolds continued, "I think the book contains information about some superstars, such as' Son of the Sea 'Jebra,' Philosopher 'Suyatutai,' Lady in Divine Outfit 'Carveline,' Devourer 'Spirit', and so on. Famous people like them usually have a lot of fans. It's normal for them to have something like this."
Nausica did not expect Reynolds to know so much about these contestants. From the information revealed in Reynolds' words, it could be seen that he was indeed paying attention to the Rising Star Competition. Just as he said, he was indeed preparing to participate in the competition.
She did not make a mistake by agreeing to go with Reynolds. They were all going to Floating Mech City to participate in the Rising Star Competition, so they had to use teleportation. The more people there were, the lower the teleportation fee would be.
While Reynolds was showing off his knowledge, a girl behind him said in a sarcastic tone, "Why don't I see your cross logo?"
The cross was the symbol of a wandering wizard. The logo didn't mean anything bad, but by saying that, she was mocking Reynolds for being a country bumpkin who didn't know anything.
Both Reynolds and Nausica frowned. The girl did not seem to notice it. "Who told you we're here to buy Firefly's Nighttale for the Rising Star Competition? The special issue for the Rising Star Competition comes out next week! It's a special issue this week, about the war between Moonfrost Union and the Abyss War! "
"The Abyss War?" Nausica and Reynolds looked at each other in confusion.
Nausica knew that Moonfrost Union was planning something against the Abyss War, but she did not know the details. Reynolds, on the other hand, had been drifting on the sea for half a year, so he did not know what happened recently.
"I don't want to explain. It has nothing to do with the Rising Star Competition. I want to buy the publication of the Rising Star Competition. Come back next week. "As she spoke, the girl prepared to drive Reynolds out, wanting to buy the publication as soon as possible.
Reynolds followed her lead and left the line.
The Abyss War sounded like something much more important than them. They could pay attention to it later, but for now … they did not need to think too much about it.
Nausica was about to leave when she heard that the magazine did not mention anything about the Rising Star Competition. However, at this moment, a few people who had bought the magazines left the store.
They were holding the new Firefly's Nighttale in their hands, and Nausica accidentally saw the cover of the magazine.
It was the portrait of a man.
Nausica's expression changed when she saw the face of the man.
"Is that … Angor? But how? "Nausica muttered to herself.
She even checked the magazine several times to make sure. The supernaturals thought Nausica was going to steal it, so they quickly put the magazine away and left.
"Am I seeing things?" Nausica frowned.
"Mister Padt, you mean?" The girl who looked down on Reynolds before suddenly spoke to Nausica.
"Mister Padt? You mean Angor Padt?" Nausica nodded.
She nodded, her eyes flashing with admiration. "Yes, it's him. He's the one I'm going to pursue in the future! "
Nausica: "???"
"Not only is he handsome, but he's also very calm. Even in the face of a great being, he can remain calm. More importantly, he's an alchemist who once came into contact with a Mystery level! "
Nausica knew that Angor was forced to become Jebra's "enemy" after the purification garden incident, which caused him to gain a lot of fame.
She did not expect to meet an admirer of Angor here.
"He is." Nausica nodded in agreement. Of course, she didn't really agree with Angor.
Nausica was going to ask about the cover of the magazine, but the girl who called herself "Luciana" could not stop talking about Angor. She quickly told Nausica everything she knew about Angor.
"… Because Mister Padt did something big in the Abyss, Firefly's Nighttale decided to add a new edition to the magazine!"
Nausica didn't know what exactly Angor did, but she was already shocked by what she heard.
Angor got himself involved in Mister Monkey's scheme for years? Not only that, but he also appeared on the cover of Firefly's Nighttale!
Nausica could not stay calm anymore. She thought she would be closer to Angor after the bloodline fusion. But it seemed that the distance between her and Angor had increased.
Nausica did not know what to say.
At this moment, Reynolds stepped forward and asked, "Are you still going to buy this issue?"
"Of course!" Nausica nodded without hesitation.
She wanted to see what kind of shocking things Angor had done.
