Farrina knew her student well enough to know that Shirley must be thinking about how to apologize sincerely to gain her forgiveness.
Even though she was trying to mend the pen after the sheep were lost, it was still Shirley's fault, so she had to apologize.
Farrina waited for a while, but Shirley still didn't do anything. She looked back and saw Shirley holding her forehead with her hands as if she was trying to say "I'm not here".
Farrina frowned. She didn't know what Shirley was doing. She was always fearless, and she didn't know how to keep her mouth shut.
If Shirley didn't apologize, Farrina would feel embarrassed. Farrina had no choice but to curse inwardly. She took the initiative and said, "Tell me what happened."
"N-nothing. Just something small. I borrowed Gru's path."
"Small? What kind of small?"
Granny Fingernail smiled and said, "Don't be so harsh on your child. It's just a small matter. Don't make it hard for her."
Farrina couldn't see what was going on on the second floor, but Granny Fingernail knew exactly what was going on. It wasn't a big deal for Granny Fingernail.
Farrina looked at Shirley's expression. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She knew that Shirley must have gotten into trouble again.
It was embarrassing to talk about something like this in front of an outsider. "I'll deal with you later," Farrina whispered to Shirley.
She then pretended that Shirley didn't exist and apologized to Angor and Granny Fingernail.
Of course, Granny Fingernail didn't mind.
Angor gave Shirley a meaningful look and smiled. "It's fine."
Farrina didn't think too much about it. "So, what do you think, Wizard Padt?" She asked, putting Shalee's question aside. "So, what do you think, Wizard Padt?"
"Sure." Angor hesitated for a moment before he nodded. "Sure."
Angor didn't mind letting Farrina experience Ocean Rhyme. After all, he already gave it to a demon. Besides, Ocean Rhyme was a support item that could be used repeatedly. It cost a lot of energy to use it, but he could afford it.
The reason why he was hesitating was not because he was putting on airs or deliberately making things difficult for them, but because he wanted to get a good bargaining chip.
It was purely because he had refined the Rhythm of the Ocean to give it to Lady Mirror. When he created the image of the Goddess of Ocean, he also created a bunch of handsome male figures according to Lady Mirror's preferences. Some of them were big shots in the wizarding world.
The main reason why he agreed to Farrina's request was that the Goddess of Ocean did indeed have some powerful figures around her. However, they were not exactly the same, and they only looked similar. Even if they were discovered, they would only feel a sense of déjà vu. Moreover, it was not so easy to see the Goddess of Ocean, unless one was extremely lucky and fell directly near the Goddess of Ocean after entering the illusion. Otherwise, it was basically swaying in the wild sea and finally dying in the sea.
Apart from that, he also wanted to establish a good relationship with Farrina.
Since he agreed, he didn't hesitate and take out the Ocean's Melody.
When the Ocean's Rhythm was placed on the table, everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Farrina had once caught a glimpse of the Rhythm of the Sea during the Witness Ceremony. However, she had only seen the appearance of the Rhythm of the Sea. She had not been able to see the real thing. However, the Ocean Rhyme's's' appearance was already beautiful enough to be considered a masterpiece.
Now that Farrina saw the Ocean Rhyme with her own eyes, she realized that it wasn't just beautiful. The aura it released felt like the real ocean. As a Sea Wizard, Farrina felt that the aura was perfect for her.
The other one who felt the same way was Shirley, who was pretending to be an ostrich.
Shirley wasn't a Sea Wizard, but she was still a Water Wizard, so she had a strong sense of familiarity with the ocean. When she sensed the Ocean Rhyme, she felt as if she had fallen into a boundless blue ocean. The feeling of being in perfect harmony with the ocean made her stagnant water energy become lively again.
She didn't even experience the Ocean Rhyme yet, but she already felt something like this just by feeling it.
Shirley couldn't help but look at Angor. Angor noticed her gaze, so she quickly lowered her head.
She already thought that she could get away with it by not talking about her. She didn't want to attract Angor's attention now.
As for Granny Fingernail, she had seen the Ocean Rhyme before, but she still couldn't help but admire it again.
"Ocean Rhyme is an auxiliary alchemy item. I told you during the Witness Ceremony that its main purpose is to increase your affinity with water, and that's true. But — "
His sudden change of topic caught everyone's attention.
"But it's more effective on apprentices, especially those who are Water Wizards." Angor glanced at Shirley. "Apart from that, it might also have a special effect on Water Wizards."
Angor didn't mention wizards specifically because Panas' succubus "Chi" had a strong reaction to the Ocean Rhyme.
"Special effect?" Farrina was curious.
"Of course. Maybe it won't work at all."
The so-called "special effect" was actually "enlightenment". It was especially effective for Water Wizards, which was why Chi awakened her power right away. Of course, Chi didn't use any external force, and she was already well-prepared.
After explaining the effect, Angor prepared to activate the Ocean Rhyme. But before doing so, he reminded Shirley, "Don't tell anyone about what you see in the coming journey."
With that, Angor slowly activated the Ocean Rhyme.
As the mermaid on the conch shell emitted a hazy light, everyone present instantly fell into a boundless sea.
Apart from Angor, everyone else was included, including Shalee.
Since Angor was going to use the Ocean Rhyme, he didn't mind adding a few more people, even if he didn't like Shirley's behavior.
For those who had experienced it this time, their luck was very bad. Immersed in the rhythm of the ocean, none of the three lasted for more than two minutes. Granny Fingernail lasted the longest, which was one and a half minutes.
This meant that they didn't even get to see the Goddess of Ocean before they fell into the ocean.
After waking up, they all stayed silent and fell into their own thoughts.
Shirley was the first one to realize that she had gained the least. Compared to Granny Fingernail and the Water Witch, her knowledge structure was not complete, and she did not have enough experience. She could not see through the trick in the illusion.
However, in terms of personal strength, Shirley had reaped the most benefits.
She had been stuck as a level-3 apprentice for a long time, but she couldn't find a way to become a top-level apprentice. After this experience, she could clearly feel that the originally stagnant water energy seemed to have been refreshed and entered an unprecedented period of activity. If she could maintain this state for a long time, she might be able to break through the barrier and become a top-level apprentice in half a year.
But it wasn't easy to maintain this state for a long time, unless … Shirley looked at the Ocean Rhyme with a burning gaze.
A moment later, Shirley gave up.
If it was someone else's work, she might be able to "borrow" it. But this was Angor's work. He was a wizard and a new member of the research department. She couldn't even take it from him, let alone "borrow" it.
Shirley sighed and glanced at Angor from the corner of her eyes.
That experience had given her too much shock. She could not imagine that such a work of art with such a deep understanding of "water" and "ocean" was not created by an Ocean Magus.
Shirley recalled hearing someone talking about Angor in a tavern not long ago. Someone said that Angor was a genius in both cultivation and alchemy, which was quickly refuted by someone else. However, the person who refuted it was also a brainless boast. He said that Angor was no longer a genius, but a monster. A monster in both cultivation and alchemy!
Shally was not convinced by Angor's words, even though she already knew from her teacher that Angor had become a wizard.
Still, Shirley believed that Angor was just lucky and talented. Luck was more important than anything else.
However, when she saw Angor's work with her own eyes, she realized that Angor's mastery of alchemy was not due to luck. He had a solid foundation.
He was definitely a monster.
Shirley still couldn't let go of her desire for the Ocean Rhyme. She looked at her teacher again. She could only hope that Farrina could buy or trade the Ocean Rhyme. If Farrina could buy or trade for the item, she might even break through a major barrier in the future, let alone breaking through.
However, Shirley's hopes were dashed. Farrina couldn't do anything even if she wanted to.
The experience was too short. It only took a minute. Granny Fingernail and Water Pattern Witch were both master alchemists, so they could still see the secret of Ocean Rhyme.
Increasing one's affinity with water was not very useful for people at their level. However, to an apprentice, this was a quick-acting method that could save them years or even decades of effort. Moreover, it was not harmful at all.
This was already amazing. Farrina was even more amazed by the "special effect" Angor mentioned earlier.
Enlightenment!
This was an extremely special effect. It was a comprehensive effect that combined guidance, correction, enlightenment, and other aspects of abilities. Although it was still the most beneficial to the apprentices, Farrina also felt an improvement when she sensed it.
She had been planning to create an Ocean Rhyme spell for a long time, and after this experience, she gained a new understanding of it.
She couldn't tell how much of an impact it would have on her, but she was sure that it had a positive effect.
Just this point alone was enough to show how precious Ocean Rhythm was.
Farrina believed that Ocean Rhyme was one of the top three alchemy works in the southern wizardry region that were related to the Ocean Rhyme.
No wonder the God of Sea valued it so much. If Song of the Deep could get its hands on Ocean Rhyme, it would greatly improve the overall strength of the organization.
Farrina knew how precious Ocean Rhyme was. She also knew that it was almost impossible for her to trade for it. She could only offer something of the same weight as Ocean Rhyme.
Still, Farrina didn't want to trade for it. She wasn't a member of Song of the Deep, so she didn't need to consider the benefits of the entire Ocean Rhyme.
She didn't know how valuable Ocean Rhyme was. What should she give to Angor after experiencing it?
