It was already the next day when Angor came to Ashillia again.
Thanks to yesterday's lesson, Angor felt much more relaxed today. More importantly, he realized that it was not that hard to earn extra points.
This was because after yesterday's lesson, his points had increased by 5 points out of thin air.
It was almost twice as high as the two points he expected. Normally, the average score of a student in the R&D department was only two to three points.
He didn't know how the score worked, but he guessed that the five points must be because of the formula he created.
Angor was planning to earn an average score of 20 points after ten lessons. Now that he got a quarter of the score in one lesson, he felt a lot better.
However, it didn't last long.
When he arrived at the lecture hall again and was about to repeat yesterday's lesson, his attention was caught by someone sitting at the back of the classroom.
Granny Fingernail also came to the classroom. She sat at the back of the classroom and watched Angor quietly.
When the bell rang, Granny Fingernail didn't leave.
This meant that she wanted to stay and listen to Angor's class.
The members of the R&D department often attended each other's classes, but only if they didn't cause any trouble to the other members. Angor had just started his lesson, so he was still trying to figure out how to teach. Normally, the other members wouldn't come to his class so that they wouldn't disturb the quality of the class.
Granny Fingernail's arrival was completely unexpected. Angor's relaxed mood became tense again.
However, he only felt a little nervous. When it was time for the class, that sense of urgency slowly dissipated. On the other hand, everyone in the classroom felt their scalps going numb. They all sat up straight and still.
There were quite a few R&D department members who came to Angor's class, but Granny Fingernail rarely came.
Granny Fingernail was a member of the R&D department, but she didn't come to Ashillia during normal times. She usually stayed in her alchemy lab. For everyone in the classroom, this was the first time Granny Fingernail came to Angor's class. They didn't know what was going on, but the presence of Granny Fingernail was enough to suppress them from doing anything.
Only a few people dared to speak during the question-and-answer session.
Since there were not many questions, Angor finished his lecture half an hour earlier than yesterday.
He wondered if he should end the class earlier today.
However, at this moment, he received a voice transmission. Angor looked at Granny Fingernail in surprise. He nodded at her and spoke to the others who were still tense.
"Because a portion of us are newbies today, I will release the Shadow of the Box again for you to experience. For newcomers, you can use what I've taught you today to perceive the alchemy illusions. For those who have seen Shadow of the Box, you can choose to leave early, or you can go back and observe some details in the alchemy illusion. "
Other than Granny Fingernail, there were a dozen newcomers. Regardless of whether they were newcomers or those who had attended the class yesterday, they all chose to stay.
Even if someone wanted to leave, they did not dare to do so in front of Granny Fingernail and Angor.
He took out the Shadow of the Trunk and rubbed the trumpet petals. The light faded away.
When Shadow of the Trunk began to play its strange melody, Angor placed it on the podium and sat down beside Granny Fingernail.
"You did a great job today," Granny Fingernail spoke to Angor as he sat down.
Angor nodded in surprise and asked Granny Fingernail about his question.
He did not understand why Granny Fingernail would come to his class today.
"Apart from your lecture, I have something else I need to confirm," Granny Fingernail spoke in a low voice.
"About Shadow of the Box?" Angor asked because it was Granny Fingernail who sent him the voice transmission. She hoped that Angor could experience the alchemy illusion again like yesterday's class. Of course, Granny Fingernail was referring to Shadow of the Box.
Granny Fingernail is silent for a while and nods in the strange background music of Shui Guqin.
Angor wanted to ask more questions, but the effect of Shadow of the Box was slowly taking effect. His surroundings slowly turned dark.
Before he was swallowed by the Shadow of the Box, he glanced at Granny Fingernail one last time. Her expression was calm, but there was something else in her eyes that Angor couldn't understand.
It was as if she was looking forward to it, but also sad.
…
After hearing the name "Alex" from Vanner Sen's mouth, Granny Fingernail couldn't calm down.
This name was actually nothing special to her. In fact, she almost never thought of the name in the past thousand years.
But the moment she heard this name, the fragments of time hidden in the depths of the memory box gushed out like a fountain from the deepest part of her heart.
She saw this name in one of the very deeply hidden memory fragments.
"What a boring play." A figure whose face was a little blurry and covered by the soft light of memories led her out of an aqua blue theater.
"I thought there would be something interesting in this world. But it's just the same as the southern wizarding region. Heh. A baroness having an affair with a servant? Why do I see such an old-fashioned plot everywhere? More importantly, the writer of this play is a noble. Is there something wrong with his mind? "
Granny Fingernail covered her mouth and giggled. "It's old-fashioned, but I think the baron's depiction is quite interesting. There are twists and turns in the plot. It's not that bad, is it?"
The man quickly refuted, "What annoys me the most is this baron. He's living a miserable life. More importantly …"
"What's more important?"
The blurry figure muttered in a low voice, "His name is actually the same as my name when I was a mortal."
Hearing this, Granny Fingernail paused for a second and then smiled, "I see. So that's why you criticized this play."
"Not entirely. The plot isn't interesting, but it's still an important part."
The voice gradually became softer and softer, and the image gradually became blurry. Finally, it completely faded out.
That was the end of the memory fragment.
It was a very common scene. Granny Fingernail would occasionally think about it, but she never thought too much about it.
Until he heard Vanessa call out that name.
Alex.
Granny Fingernail suddenly remembered this scene. She still remembered the name of the play that she kept complaining about. It was called The Red and Black of Alex.
Alex was the name of the baron in the play.
