"This is related to the Supreme Cult. All you need to know is that wizards must retrieve unregistered otherworldly life forms."
Supreme Cult and Retrieval? Supreme Cult … He didn't know what it was, but the name sounded like a religion. But the word "retrieve" made Angor's heart skip a beat.
He thought about Jon. If Jon's identity was exposed, would he end up being "retrieved" as well?
"What does' retrieve 'mean, professor?" Angor tried his best to hide his worry and pretended to be curious.
"Retrieve means to make them cease to exist."
"Does not exist". It was a simple word, but Angor felt he could see a terrifying storm of blood behind it.
"Then, Balba …" Angor finally understood why he felt so close to Balba. It was because Balba's "rejected by the world" aura was almost the same as Jon's.
"Balba, if we don't change our plan, we should wait until he's strong enough to fuse with a powerful bloodline and turn him into a substitute puppet," Sunders said casually, but he had already decided Balba's fate.
Angor's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect Balba's fate to be sealed from the very beginning. When thinking about Jon, Angor finally understood what it meant to grieve for a rabbit.
Angor's thoughts sank for a second, but he quickly calmed himself down. Luckily, his professor was at the Old Earth where wizards were extinct. Otherwise, he would end up like Balba.
"Do you remember the normal channeling method?" Sunders suddenly asked.
"Normal channeling methods? Is it something like Triangle Channeling? " Angor read many channeling methods in Sunders' library. He did not practice any of them himself.
"Yes."
"I remember some."
Sunders nodded. "Good. When you go back, take any channeling method you know and teach it to Balba. If he asks again, tell him that Flora went out recently."
Angor did not know what to say. That sounded so casual.
"Alright. I'll go back now." Angor turned to leave.
"Wait," Sunders stopped him.
Angor stopped.
Sunders paused for a moment as if he was thinking about something. "Since you chose to come at such a time, I suppose it's your destiny."
Angor looked at Sunders in confusion and waited for him to continue.
He reached out his left hand and rubbed the button on his right sleeve. It was a button with the family emblem on it.
He pulled a hand, and a crystal bottle with a metal base appeared in his hand.
He tossed the bottle to Angor.
As soon as Angor touched the bottle, he saw the metal base of the bottle glowing faintly. A rune slowly appeared on the surface.
Is this … an alchemy tool?
"Do you want a space storage?" Sunders pointed at the button on Angor's sleeve. The porous crystal bottle was taken out from the button. Clearly, the button was some kind of spatial alchemy tool.
Angor nodded repeatedly. He really wanted a space storage!
The first time he saw a space storage was when Greya gave him a space capsule. It was a single-use item, and all the items inside belonged to Toby.
That capsule, which was as small as a grain of rice, contained something as big as a small mountain. And it was almost weightless. Of course, he wanted such a wonderful and convenient alchemy tool.
However, he had read books about space storage before. A single-use space capsule was already very expensive, not to mention one that could stabilize a space. Angor never thought that he would get a space storage before becoming a wizard.
Now that Sunders mentioned it … Angor's eyes lit up. Was Sunders going to give him a space storage?!
"Come with me if you want it." Sunders turned around and walked deeper into the garden. Those strange phantom beasts also followed behind him.
…
Angor learned the purpose of his visit on his way here.
Sunders accidentally found a precious material for crafting a Sorcerer's Garden — Fragments of Eternity. He planned to turn this garden into a Sorcerer's Garden. During the crafting process, Angor could collect some "leftover materials" so that he could find an alchemist to craft a space storage for him.
A Sorcerer's Garden was a miraculous product that was a combination of spells and alchemy. It could create a space, separate it from the main world, and put it on some kind of carrier.
Speaking of which, it was similar to a space storage. However, the space created by a Sorcerer's Garden was usually not big. The specific size depended on the number of Fragments of Eternity. Anyway, it was definitely smaller than most space storage. Of course, it was much bigger than space capsules.
There was another major difference between the two.
A space storage could not store living creatures, while a Sorcerer's Garden was like a small world with its own ecosystem. Both plants and creatures could survive in it. Therefore, the two were not comparable. A Sorcerer's Garden was much more valuable than a space storage.
However, judging from the above, the Sorcerer's Garden didn't seem to be anything special. At most, it was something like a portable small world. Also, he wouldn't dare to hide in it during a battle, since sorcerer-level battles already involved spells like space collapse. For wizards who liked to travel alone, a Sorcerer's Garden was similar to a space storage.
However, that was not the case. The value of a Sorcerer's Garden was not to store living creatures. When it was separated from the main world, it would receive the baptism of some unknown power, which would give it a random elementary law.
For example, if a Sorcerer's Garden was given the law of "Flora", the harvest of magical plants in the garden would be beyond one's imagination. Similar laws included "Eternal Freeze", "Backtrack", "Soul Soil", "Time", and so on.
In other words, a Sorcerer's Garden was a treasure that existed under a certain law.
Ordinary wizards could never come into contact with a law in their entire lives. Only when they reached the legendary level could they have a glimmer of a law.
With the protection of a law, a Sorcerer's Garden was unimaginably valuable. For a wizard organization, a Sorcerer's Garden was a strategic treasure.
Even if a Sorcerer's Garden could be carried around, no wizard would dare to do so. It would be a great loss if someone took it away from them.
After listening to Sunders' explanation, Angor understood how valuable a Sorcerer's Garden was. In the entire southern wizarding region, there were only a few organizations that had a Sorcerer's Garden. Even Brute Cavern only had one, and it was not a private one. However, the Sorcerer's Garden that Sunders was going to create belonged to him alone.
Thinking of this, Angor's admiration for Sunders increased by a lot.
"I'll see what kind of law it is later," Angor mumbled. "I'm looking forward to it!"
"You're overthinking. I'm only using Fragments of Eternity to mark the area. I'll need a master alchemist from Floating Mech City to do the actual crafting. The law will only appear after the crafting is done, "Sunders explained with a smile.
"Why do you need a master alchemist from Floating Mech City? Don't we have any master alchemists in our organization? "
Sunders shook his head. "Alchemy knowledge is the most valuable thing in every place. Many advanced alchemy techniques have been lost. Brute Cavern only has one alchemist who earned the title of Elementary. "
"Lost? Shouldn't knowledge be innovated? Is it better to be more ancient? "Angor was confused.
"It is. That's why you can see alchemy fortresses in the sky, alchemy airships, alchemy puppets … These are all techniques that keep pace with the times." Sunders paused a little before continuing, "However, being ancient is not a bad thing. Many ancient techniques were passed down by unknown great beings. Even if knowledge is innovated from generation to generation, some of them will not be as good as the original version. For example, the thirty-six-dimensional space coordinate system positioning method you're about to learn is also an ancient and lost technique. In some ways, it's much better than the current positioning methods.
"Also, Initial Glory, the ancestor of meditation methods, has its irreplaceable aspects. Alchemy techniques are also the same. Due to the loss of some special techniques, the alchemy world is in a bit of a slump. "
Sunders' explanation made Angor even more determined to study alchemy.
But Angor was also wondering if Sunders really did not find the alchemy books in the secret chamber of the Nightmare Realm.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to test it out.
"Professor, I told you that I met a blue giant in the Nightmare Realm. Do you remember?"
"I know. It's a Three-Eyed Blue Demon, a low-level monster. Why did you suddenly mention it?"
Angor kept a straight face. "Last time, I told you that I found some alchemy books in the hall where the blue — the Three-Eyed Blue Demon was. Do you think those books contain the ancient techniques you mentioned? "
Sunders shook his head. "No. Those books are all ordinary. I have some of them in my collection."
"So that's how it is. That's why I feel like I've seen similar books in my mentor's library."
Sunders chuckled when he saw Angor's enlightened look. "If you can remember those books, it means your Nightmare Form is really powerful."
"No, I don't. I don't remember the content. I only remember the title of the book."
Sunders shook his head and explained, "Let me tell you something. If a book I never read in the real world appears in the Nightmare Realm, I'll forget about it. Even if it's just an ordinary story book, there's a chance I won't remember it at all once I leave the Nightmare Realm. Unless I'm lucky enough to bring the book back to the real world, I won't forget it.
"Only if I read a book in the real world and see the same book in the Nightmare Realm, I won't forget that part of my memory. But you're different. Your memory in the Nightmare Realm is complete. Even if you don't try to remember it, you still have a vague impression of it. This means your memory has never been blocked. This is the most valuable part of your talent, "Sunders explained seriously.
Angor tried to recall. Sunders was right. He rarely forgot his experience in the Nightmare Realm.
"Professor, I remember you have a crystal ball that can record images. Why don't you take it with you?" Angor thought about his hologram tablet. Without the recording function, he couldn't take the alchemy books out of the secret room.
Sunders shook his head. "I can't record them. I tried this method before, but all I got was a blank image."
"Then …" Why can my hologram tablet record? Is it the difference between a technological item and an alchemy item?
Angor almost asked the question out loud, but he stopped himself in time.
"We're here. Don't think about the Nightmare Realm. It's a world without logic. The more you think about it, the more confused you'll get. Just train yourself and try to become a wizard as soon as possible. I'll need you to lead the way next time, "Sunders joked with a smile.
Sunders pointed at a field of strange plants in front of them. There were already many Phantom Servants waiting outside this area. They all held a porous crystal bottle in their hands.
