A breakthrough? A real wizard?!
Torras and Mandehila hadn't really come into contact with the wizard training system, so they didn't realize how important this matter was.
Freud, on the other hand, was a seed apprentice of the Tower of Hurricane. He knew what a real wizard was.
Freud was stunned for a few seconds. "Are you serious?"
Leon shook his head. "I don't know. It's just a rumor. That's why I'm here."
Not long ago, Leon was training his body with Nausica in the courtyard of the Brocade Tavern.
Leon didn't notice anything unusual during the training. The only thing he noticed was that the bar in the front yard was a little noisier than usual.
Leon didn't mind. Wood Tavern wasn't called Wood Tavern if it wasn't busy.
Unlike the front yard, the Brocade Tavern was as peaceful as ever.
Leon was preparing for the second round of the Sky Tower competition tomorrow. Nausica was reading a leather scroll that recorded cantrips. Shiliew was sleeping as usual.
Such a peaceful and tranquil scene was suddenly broken by a rumbling sound.
The ground trembled. When they looked up, they saw Shan running toward the Brocade Tavern from the front yard while sitting on Gank's puppet's shoulder. Every time Gank's giant feet touched the ground, the ground would tremble as if there was an earthquake.
Nausica was also attracted by the noise. She exhaled some smoke and looked outside with a frown.
Shan was usually a lively girl, but she rarely made Gank move like this. What's going on today? Did the Supreme Cult target Shan again, just like what happened in the past? But that couldn't be right. Gank's real body was already dead. The Supreme Cult wouldn't go after a dead body. Gank was nothing but an alchemy puppet now.
As Nausica and Leon wondered what was going on, Shan pushed the door of the Brocade Tavern open and announced excitedly, "Big news! Big news!
I went to the bar to talk to someone. Do you know what I heard? " Shan jumped up from Gank's shoulder and waved her hands. "Angor! It's about Angor!"
Both Nausica and Leon perked up their ears when they heard the news.
"Has the R&D Institute's matter been fermenting?" Nausica asked. They had been talking about Angor in Fragrant Pavilion. Not long ago, they received news that Angor had become a member of the research department. This was the first time Brute Cavern received such an honor. It was great news for other wizard organizations, and even more so for Brute Cavern.
They discussed this matter every day.
Now that Shan came back so excitedly and mentioned Angor, the first thing Nausica thought about was the research department.
"It's not about the research and development department. It's the latest news!" Shan paused. She wanted to keep Angor in suspense, but she was too excited to do so. "Everyone in the bar is talking about him. They say he's a wizard now!"
Both Nausica and Leon were dumbfounded by his words.
"Are you sure?" Nausica's voice was hoarse.
Shan hesitated for a moment. "It's just them talking about it. They seem to be saying it with certainty, but I don't know if it's true. I ran back to Fragrant Pavilion as soon as I heard the news. "
Nausica remained silent for a moment before she stood up. "Let's go check it out."
Nausica took the lead and left the room. Leon quickly followed her out of his stupor.
When they arrived at the bar in the front yard, they saw that everyone was talking about Angor, just as Shan said.
Angor had been the center of everyone's attention for the past few days. However, unlike a few days ago, everyone was talking about Angor's breakthrough today.
They made enquiries in the bar to confirm the facts of the matter.
In the end, they found out that it all came from a magazine called Truth's Sky. The magazine's name might sound impressive, but it was actually a gossip magazine.
However, the articles in Truth's Sky were not as timely as other magazines, so it did not sell well.
Yesterday, Truth's Sky released an exclusive piece of news. Angor, who was now the center of attention, broke through a major barrier and became a wizard just a few days ago.
Because of this, Truth's Sky's sales skyrocketed.
Nausica and Leon had to go to several bookstores to get their hands on the latest issue of Truth's Sky.
After reading carefully, they found that the content was mostly about the news of Angor's breakthrough, as well as the possible repercussions that would follow.
But did Angor really become a wizard? But "The Sky of Truth" didn't provide any substantial evidence.
"Is this real or not?" Nausica frowned after reading it.
It was not that Nausica did not believe in Angor's strength. It was just too strange. The news about the research department had not reached its climax not long ago, and now it came out again? She did not believe it at all.
Besides, Nausica saw Angor several days ago. She did not see any sign of Angor breaking through at all. Most apprentices needed at least half a year to prepare before breaking through.
The people in the bar had the same opinion.
They believed that Truth's Sky's sales had plummeted recently, so they decided to spread rumors to gain more attention.
"If Angor really makes it to the next level, the other magazines will follow him, and Truth's Sky won't be the only one who gets to the top."
The other magazines did not mention anything about Angor's breakthrough, so most people believed that the news was fake.
However, someone else said, "That's why they don't dare to spread rumors. If they find out it's a rumor, they won't even be able to maintain their low sales. Readers will refuse to buy the magazine."
Thus, there were two sides to this matter.
Some believed it to be true, while others believed it to be false. Because of this, the Muyuan Bar was in full swing.
Shan calmed down and listened to the opinions of both sides. "Maybe there's something wrong with this."
Nausica said, "We can only wait for Truth's Sky to show us the real evidence. But even if they do, some people won't believe it. Angor has to show up in person to put an end to this matter. "
Angor was not in Floating Mech City right now, so this matter would continue to spread for a long time.
Nausica sighed and looked at the cover of Truth's Sky. She saw Angor's handsome portrait on the cover. "I don't want to admit it, but I still hope it's true."
Leon, who had been wandering outside, had returned to the Fragrant Brothel. When there was no one around, he entered Beginnings City.
Leon's plan was to find Freud and learn more about Angor from him.
Did Angor become a wizard?
"You said Angor came here a few days ago. Did he mention anything about that?" Leon asked.
Freud hesitated for a second before answering Leon's question.
Since Mandehara was here, he lied and said that Angor came here a few days ago. In fact, Angor entered the dream wasteland today.
Freud tried to recall, but he never heard anything about leveling up.
However, there was something else that bothered Freud.
When he saw Angor today, he already had a strange feeling about him.
He felt something different about Angor. It had only been a few days, but Angor already looked like a completely different person.
At first, Freud thought it was just his imagination. But now, when he thought about what Leon said, he realized that Angor had changed a lot.
Even if the dream wasteland did not allow Angor to transfer his power into the real world, Freud could still sense something different about Angor's aura.
Freud considered for a moment. "Sir, you didn't mention anything about leveling up. But I did feel something different when I saw you last time. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it can't be used as proof.
We'll have to wait until the next time Sir Angor comes here. "
Leon sighed. "I guess that's the only way."
He then glanced at Mandehara and asked, "Since Angor brought you here, you should know what happened to him, right?"
Mandehara didn't expect to be noticed again. She remained silent for a moment. Whenever Angor was mentioned, she felt like cursing out loud.
But in the end, Mandela didn't say anything rude and only said expressionlessly, "I don't know."
Since Mandehara didn't know, Leon shook his head helplessly.
"I'll be on my way then." Since Freud didn't know about Angor's disappearance, Leon prepared to leave.
Although he was very curious about this matter, the second match tomorrow was more important.
After Leon left, Freud ordered Torras to repair the damaged walls of the Ocean Theater.
Meanwhile, Freud brought Mandehara to register her identity.
During the registration, Mandela thought that she would be involved in some sensitive matters, but she found that no one cared about what she wrote.
"No one will care about your past. Here, the past is meaningless. Your future is the only thing that matters, "Freud said." Regardless of what happened in the past, your life here is brand new. "
Mandehara didn't say anything. She lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.
Freud didn't say much. He simply pointed out that Mandehara's missing pieces of the puzzle couldn't be fixed with words. Only by letting Mandehara experience it herself would she be able to let down her guard.
