"Wait here. Once the Sorcerer's Garden starts, a lot of greyspace microbes will fall off. Use your container bottle to collect them. If you want to craft an alchemy item with a stable space, collect as many greyspace microbes as you can. They're the main material for making space storage items. " With that, Sunders ordered all the phantom beasts around him to move into the designated area. Then, he leaped into the air.
Sunders took out an eyedropper from his button and began to release mana from his mana pool. In his line of sight, a four-sided octahedron structure locked the selected area.
Sunders poured out a drop of the mysterious liquid inside the eyedropper — Fragment of Eternity. Then, using an unimaginable method, he used both spells and alchemy skills to pour the drop of liquid into the octahedral structure.
"It's about to begin. Pay attention to the greyspace microbes." Sunders ordered the Phantom Servants in different positions. Under Butler Goode's lead, the Phantom Servants quickly took up their positions outside the designated area.
Sunders looked at Angor who was holding his container bottle and preparing himself. He smiled and sent a voice transmission to Angor, "You're quite lucky. It's your destiny to come here at this time. According to the rules of the wizarding world, I won't allow you to collect the microbes without paying a price. But I'll make an exception this time. Consider it my reward for your Section Ephemera. As for how much you can collect, that will depend on you. "
Angor had read some alchemy books before, so he knew that greyspace microbes were the main material for creating space storage items. Since Sunders mentioned that he could collect as many as he could without paying a price, Angor decided to go all out and collect as many as he could. How could he miss out on something like this?
As Sunders poured the Fragment of Eternity into the area, a frame that Angor could see with his naked eyes appeared in front of him.
"It's about to begin, Mister Padt. Be careful. Do not enter the locked area." Butler Goode came to him.
Angor quickly nodded.
"Four Directions Lock!" Sunders tossed a scroll full of runes into the air. The scroll exploded, and a giant magic array several kilometers wide appeared on the ground.
"This is a magic array that blocks detection. Master released it to prevent other wizards from spying on us," Goode explained.
This was a private Sorcerer's Garden after all. Sunders had already reported to Rein Mute and asked Tree Spirit to cover up the aura of this place. However, what happened at Devil's Water had already spread far and wide. Who knew if any wizards would show up at this time? However, Sunders was not afraid of challenges.
A few minutes later, he noticed that the area ahead of him was being cut apart by a spatial rift.
A sparkling dot of light floated down from the cut.
"He's here!" Under Angor's gaze, Goode dashed into the air and pointed the container bottle at the light spot. The light spot was sucked into the bottle in the next second.
After collecting the first light spot, Goode nodded to Angor and quickly went to collect more light spots.
Angor knew that Butler Goode was showing him how to collect the light spots. Feeling grateful, Angor began his own "looting" process.
Since he could not fly, he had to run around on the ground to collect the light spots left by the Phantom Servants in the air.
The light spots would disappear once they hit the ground. He had to collect them before they hit the ground.
Angor ran around and collected quite a lot of light spots. He noticed that whenever he ran to a certain spot, the Phantom Servants in the air would intentionally leave some light spots for him to collect.
The "looting" process lasted for a while. When the targeted area was completely covered by white mist, the light spots stopped falling.
The container bottle in Angor's hand was glowing brightly. More than half of it contained greyspace microbes that were shining brightly.
Compared to other Phantom Servants, Angor did not collect as many greyspace microbes. However, the amount in the container bottle should be enough to craft a small, permanent space storage.
Looking at the greyspace microbes in the bottle, Angor grinned until his eyes turned into crescent-shaped crescents.
If he sold them in an auction, he would probably get at least five or six thousand magic crystals. Angor did not expect that he would get such a great harvest this time. He was just using the excuse of reporting to gain some praise.
Before, Angor felt embarrassed when Sunders pointed out his secret. But now, he did not feel embarrassed at all. He only thought about visiting Phantom Island more often in the future. Maybe he would find something good again.
"You'll have to figure out how to refine these microbes into spatial tools yourself. I'll leave you to it, "Sunders said as he landed on the ground.
Angor nodded. According to Collected Basics of Elementary Alchemy, crafting a space storage was not difficult. The main material was the key. As for crafting, an apprentice alchemist would do the job. Angor planned to try it himself after he learned alchemy. If he did not have the talent for it, he would pay someone else to do it for him.
Before leaving, Angor asked Sunders, "Why did you chase those beasts into the Sorcerer's Garden?"
"Fertilizer," Sunders said in a plain tone.
Angor was still thinking about the "fertilizer" on his way back.
When Angor first saw Sunders caressing the phantom beasts with a gentle look, he thought Sunders really loved them. But he didn't expect that they would become fertilizer in the end.
Angor put himself in Sunders' shoes. Sunders seemed to like him a lot recently. But who knew if he would one day offend Sunders and end up like those beasts?
Angor knew that he tended to think too much. It was as if he was suffering from persecutory delusions. But in this world where people ate people alive, he could fall into an endless abyss if he was not careful enough.
Therefore, the most reliable thing was to grow stronger.
…
When Angor reached home, the rain was still pouring.
Angor heard the chirping of birds coming from the attic. He went upstairs and saw Toby and the Echo Flower talking to each other.
Angor shook his head. For some reason, Toby seemed to like the Echo Flower very much.
Angor did not stop Toby. It was a bit noisy, but the surrounding buildings had their own soundproof arrays, so he did not need to worry about the noise.
Angor went down to his soundproof room and began to meditate, feeling the spirit power flowing in his mind.
He only stopped when his mind calmed down a bit. Then, he solemnly put the magic container bottle into a secret compartment in the quiet room. There were other precious materials in the secret compartment, such as Morning Dew, Section Ephemera, Potion of Austere Night, and so on.
Angor put away the container bottle and planned to begin the third step of his training.
But he suddenly remembered Sunders' order, which was to copy a channeling method book for Balba.
Angor felt sorry that Balba would end up as a puppet, but he did not want to go against Sunders' decision.
Angor felt sorry for Balba's unfortunate fate.
Since Balba was still waiting for him, Angor sighed and decided to copy the channeling method first and give it to Balba.
The channeling method he copied was called "Circular Cut Channeling".
It was a very ordinary channeling method. However, this one had a higher rating compared to all the other common channeling methods. At least, it was better than Triangle Channeling, which was practiced by Alan and Aleen.
It only took Angor half an hour to finish the book.
He held the thin book and thought for a moment. Then he copied some of the training techniques he learned during the first two steps into the book using tiny runes. He learned these techniques on his own. They were shallow, but they were still something he learned on his own. As for the special techniques recorded in Singularity Dispersive Meditation, Angor did not want to share them with others.
Angor did not waste any time. He opened an umbrella and rushed out in the pouring rain.
When he reached the underground cave, he suddenly realized that he did not know where Balba's room was. When he talked with Balba, he was busy looking for Sailum and forgot to ask where Balba's room was.
The tunnels in the cave were complicated. There were thousands of rooms, and Angor could not go through them one by one. Besides, there were also apprentices living in the cave. If he disturbed them while looking for someone, he would be in big trouble.
With this in mind, Angor decided to go to Sailum's room and see if he knew anything.
If Sailum did not know, there was nothing he could do. He could only blame Balba's bad luck.
Sailum was meditating when Angor found him. Angor was a little embarrassed to interrupt Sailum's training, but Sailum did not mind. He carefully put the book back into his pocket and walked to Angor with a smile. "What's the matter?"
Angor then explained what happened to Balba to Sunders.
Sailum shook his head. "I don't know where Balba lives either."
After a pause, Sailum continued, "But I know where Orlando lives. When he first moved into the crypt, he harassed the talents one by one. He should know where most of the talents are."
"Orlando?" Angor recalled the image of a wilful and pompous young man wearing a black and white velvet hat.
"That's right. That guy separated from his' close friend 'Roffig. When he first moved into the crypt, he washed his face with tears every day. He went to almost all the geniuses and harassed them in the name of complaining." Sailum recalled Orlando and frowned. "He also wanted to harass you. But we did not tell him where you live."
Sailum said, "Luckily, after everyone started to meditate, he was beaten up for disturbing other people's meditation. That's why he's restrained himself."
"He got separated from Roffig?" Angor remembered how close those two friends were. Did they have a fight?
"Yes. I don't know why, but Roffig didn't live in the crypt. Instead, he was arranged to live outside the mirror world." Sailum then asked, "Do you want to ask Orlando about it? I'm not sure if he knows where Balba lives. You know, Balba's a little … I'm not sure if Orlando dares to harass him. "
Angor nodded. "Let's go. Since we're already here, I don't mind spending some time. Please lead the way. "
