Maybe it was the completion of the third surface that allowed Angor to unburden himself. He slept very soundly this time.
Two days later, he woke up naturally.
When he woke up, he sat on his bed and spaced out for half an hour, savoring the aftertaste of relaxing his mind. When he smelled the sour smell of sweat on his body, he slowly got out of bed and boiled some water for a bath.
He felt refreshed after the bath.
When he returned to his soundproof room, the hologram tablet was still working on the calculations at full power. Angor ignored it and meditated for a while.
After meditating, he did not know what to do. He leaned against the wall and thought for a while. He decided to use this chance to plan his future.
As for the direction of the future, based on his current vision and goals, as well as the length of time, he divided it into three stages.
The farthest goal was to pursue the truth, fulfill his own will, and go as far as he could on the path of wizardry. This was his most long-term goal and wish, which was unattainable for now.
His next goal was to fulfill his five-year promise with Master Jon and his promise with Mara.
The five-year promise with Master Jon was the biggest motivation for him to work so hard. However, five years would pass in the blink of an eye for a wizard. If he wanted to save Jon, he didn't have enough time. Of course, he was not completely hopeless. At least he had some ideas.
The root of Jon's problem was not an illness. It was the rejection of the world's consciousness. The solution was: how to prevent otherworldly visitors from being rejected by the world's consciousness.
Angor did not dare to ask Sunders about this. Sunders could easily see through Angor's mind. It would be even more troublesome if it involved the "extremist church" or "recycling".
Angor could only use the next five years to collect information from various sources to solve this problem. He had to put this on his agenda and search for relevant information. Even if he couldn't get the answer in a short time, he could still buy another magic scroll called "Ice Coffin of Healing" with his own savings and extend his mentor's life for another five years. So, he could put it aside for now.
As for his promise with Mara, it was more flexible. Mara used "Ice Coffin of Healing" in exchange for a promise from Angor. Once Angor became a level-2 apprentice, he would go to a certain ruin with Mara.
He believed that as long as he could construct a perfect spirit model, the mana flow would reach an unprecedented level, and his mana pool would grow stronger in a short time. Therefore, he believed that he would be able to become a Level-2 Acolyte in no time. However, since Mara did not set a time limit, he was not in a hurry to go to White Coral Floating Island Academy to fulfill his promise even if he became a level-2 apprentice in a short time.
For now, he decided to postpone the meeting with Mara until he solved Jon's problem.
Apart from the long-term and mid-term goals, what he cared about the most right now was the short-term development.
Forming a Spirit Model as soon as possible, building a mana pool, and advancing to an Apprentice Adept was definitely his primary goal. Apart from that, he also had another ambition, which was to build the Sorcerer's Garden in Floating Mech City.
He wanted to go further than anyone else on the path of becoming a Magus. It was still an empty promise for now, but it was not impossible. Open Schrodinger's Box, and there could be a cat that turned into a saber-toothed tiger. Everything was possible. However, in the wizarding world, there was at least one prerequisite to go further: becoming a Magus first!
The Sorcerer's Garden in Floating Mech City had the ability to "purify". According to Goode, it could increase the chances of an apprentice becoming a Magus. Even if it was only 0.1%, Angor would not miss it.
However, the chance of achieving this ambition was too low. It was too difficult for him to reach the top of Sky Tower in a short time.
Bloodline users were the strongest in the same level. Sky Tower's arena was a restricted area for them to attack. This was why powerful Bloodline Masters such as "Grass Snail" Fantase could fight their way to the 100th level of Tower of Infinity without any problems.
Even if he became an apprentice and learned a few cantrips, he would not end well if he fought against a Bloodline apprentice with those skills.
So Angor had to put this ambition aside for now.
…
After organizing his future plans, Angor finally had some free time. He planned to read some books recorded in his hologram tablet, but the tablet was currently calculating the coordinates of the remaining four planes. He did not know if opening other files would affect the calculation efficiency, but he had to give up for now.
Since he couldn't train right now, he decided to give himself a short break and relax.
During this holiday, Angor did not want to think about anything bad, nor did he want to think about people he hated. Anger and sadness would not make him feel better. He might as well use this chance to relax and improve himself.
In the following days, Angor's life became: singing, practicing calligraphy, studying Professor Jon's miscellaneous books, playing with Toby from time to time, and lying on a deck chair on the balcony with one leg crossed over the other, enjoying the cool breeze while looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance and reminiscing about the good old days.
What Angor did not know was that a Phantom Servant had recorded every detail of his life and sent it to Goode, who then reported it to Sunders.
When he saw the image in the crystal ball, he almost lost his temper. He was worried about Angor's mood, so he secretly asked Goode to tell Angor to give up on using the 36-dimensional space coordinate system. He did not expect to receive such a result.
If Angor did not stay at home every day in fear of being assassinated, he would be no different from a spoiled noble.
If Angor's slack only lasted for one or two days, it would not be a big deal. But according to the Phantom Servant's record, it lasted for two whole weeks!
Sunders' expression was cold as he vented his anger. Even Goode, who had been with Sunders for more than a hundred years, was frightened.
"Go and tell Angor that he has one month to become an apprentice. Or else … I'll announce to the public that I'm no longer his teacher." Sunders' voice was cold, but Goode could feel the anger hidden in it.
Goode left.
Sunders looked at the crystal ball and saw Angor's carefree expression. His expression was a little annoyed by Angor's failure to meet his expectations. If it were not for the fact that the Sorcerer's Garden had reached its most critical moment and he could not leave for even a second, he would definitely teach this useless student a lesson himself.
…
Apprentice Town Eight, Angor's mansion.
Angor was dumbfounded. He did not expect to be caught by Sunders just because he gave himself a holiday. Sunders even threatened to "terminate their relationship".
"Mister Padt, that's all the master has to say. Do not disappoint him." Butler Goode was covered in a black robe, and his face was also covered by a mask, so Angor could not see his expression. But Angor could hear the great concern in Goode's voice.
Angor remained silent for a long time. His expression changed rapidly. There was surprise, confusion, and helplessness … Goode guessed that Angor was struggling to decide whether to give up the legendary locator method, so Goode did not urge him.
After a while, Angor's expression calmed down. Goode thought to himself. So he made up his mind? Will he give up on using the 36-dimensional space coordinate system method and learn another one, or will he continue to be stubborn?
"I understand. I'll become an apprentice within a month," Angor said.
Goode sighed in relief. He was sure that Angor had chosen to learn another locator method. He patted Angor's shoulder with a smile and spoke in a serious tone.
"The 36-dimensional space coordinate system method has long disappeared in the long river of history. There's a reason for that. Mister Padt asked you to learn another locator method, not the channeling method. The spirit model created by Singularity Scatter can still surpass other channeling methods. Don't give yourself too much pressure. Keep it up. "
With that, Goode left with a satisfied answer.
Angor did not know what Goode was talking about at first. But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he finally understood what Goode meant and why he came here.
So the professor thought he was wasting his time? So Goode used this method to remind Angor not to stubbornly stick to one locator method. Angor would still be able to learn another one.
At this point, Angor did not know how to explain himself. Should he tell Sunders that he cheated, and that he would master the 36-dimensional space coordinate system method in another week?
So he decided to keep quiet. Since Sunders already misunderstood him, Angor would let him continue to misunderstand him. Whether he changed his locator method or not, his spirit model would still be the "Singularity Scatter Model". Once the model was built, even a legendary wizard would not be able to tell which method he used to build it.
The hologram tablet was still counting down: 173 hours, 33 minutes, and 27 seconds.
In other words, it was only a little more than a week.
Now that Angor knew there would be Phantom Servants watching him from time to time, he no longer dared to show his face on the balcony or the yard.
Still, he could not stay in his room without doing anything. He took out a book, pretended to be studying, and went to the balcony to get some fresh air. In fact, his mind was racing. His eyes, which were covered by his hair, were also dull and unfocused.
When Sunders learned from Goode that Angor had already changed his locator method, he felt a little relieved. Later, Goode sent him a picture of Angor "studying" on the balcony, which pleased Sunders greatly. He no longer paid any attention to Angor. He believed that Angor's talent would allow him to become an apprentice within a month after changing his locator method.
The hand of the clock on the wall turned two more times.
On this day, the Tree Spirit seemed to be very merciful. The huge leaf that was blocking the Eighth Apprentice Town was moved away. The warm sunlight shone down and covered the buildings in the Eighth Apprentice Town with a layer of golden coat.
Angor moved a stool under the mistletoe in the yard and pretended to be studying. In fact, he was taking a nap under the sunlight.
When he was about to fall asleep, he heard some noises coming from the door.
