However, Shiliew wasn't the highest-ranked wizard he knew. Instead, it was Keely from Lilith's Clan, who was currently ranked 13th.
Among the top 16, there were quite a few familiar faces.
"Child of the Sea" Jebra, "Lady in Divine Attire" Carveline, "Devourer's Spirit" Sinehowze, "Philosopher" Onassis, "Shadow Light" Xili, and so on.
Unfortunately, Shiliew was the only one who came from Brute Cavern. Nanagi and Blaise were eliminated.
Well, it wasn't surprising. Most of the participants this time were talented, and some of them were nurtured by all the resources available to them.
They used to keep a low profile, but now, they suddenly became famous. For example, Xili and Onassis weren't famous in the past.
Brute Cavern, on the other hand, didn't interfere with the participants' decisions. It was up to them whether they wanted to join or not.
While checking the rankings, Angor noticed that some of them were moving up and down. Reading the list, Angor felt a little emotional.
The wizarding world of the south wasn't as strong as the other three realms, but it was growing stronger by the day.
Angor arrived at Timber Bar, which was as crowded as usual. Since Angor had changed his appearance, most people only glanced at him for a second before looking away.
Only a man who was drinking alone near the bar table paid attention to Angor.
The man was wearing a brown checkered tailcoat and holding a glass of red wine in his hand. When Angor walked past him, he nodded at Angor.
Angor returned the gesture.
Angor didn't say anything to the man. He went around the main hall and entered another corridor.
The man in the tuxedo was the owner of the bar, an official wizard. Angor didn't know him well, but since he came here often, they were quite familiar with each other. They nodded at each other as a greeting.
The first thing Angor saw when he entered Fragrant Pub was Shan, who was grilling meat in the yard.
To be more precise, Shan was sitting on Gank's shoulder and staring at the stars, while Gank was doing its job by turning the grill over the fire.
Hearing movement at the door, Shan looked back.
When Shan heard Angor's voice, she quickly jumped down from Gank's shoulder and ran to Angor's side.
"Why are you here?" Shan was pleasantly surprised.
"I'm here to check on you. Oh right, where's Leon?"
"Dinner is barbecue. He went to the mortal market to buy some sauce. He should be back soon, right?" As soon as Shan finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open.
It was Leon, who was carrying many bags.
"You're just in time. We're going to have honey roast meat later. Gank's roast meat is really good. The honey oil is sweet and rich, and the meat is as good as Aunt Mana's. You have to try it!"
It had been a long time since he had anything to eat. Hearing Leon's description, he couldn't help but drool.
"Sure." Angor nodded and looked around. "Where are the others?"
"Sailum is always in his room with that book of his. Shiliew, you know. She doesn't have to participate in the ranking matches these days, so she's sleeping like a log. I'm afraid she'll pass out one day." Shan looked a little worried when she mentioned Shiliew's name.
Angor suddenly remembered something. Now that he had obtained the most important authority, the Tree of Authority, he could allow some people to enter the wasteland.
Plus, he could grant the authority. However, the dream wasteland could only accommodate a limited number of people, and there was almost no one with a high compatibility rating. Therefore, he could increase the number of people who could enter the dream wasteland.
Shiliew should be able to enter the dream wasteland as well, so she wouldn't have to waste any time sleeping.
However, Angor didn't plan to tell anyone about this right away.
After all, Freud's rules allowed mortals to enter the wasteland as soon as possible. However, Angor still needed to be careful when summoning supernatural beings. He planned to perfect the rules first before opening the wasteland to the public.
Besides, it would only be a small trial run.
"What about Nausica?" asked Angor while Sailum was thinking about the Dark Codex in his arms.
Angor noticed that both Shan and Leon were wearing strange expressions when talking about Nausica.
Did something happen to her?
"Come with me." Shan dragged Angor to the back of the Pavilion of Youth. Then, she cast a cantrip to remove aura and took Angor to a window.
Shan gave Angor a mysterious smile and asked him to look through the window.
Angor didn't need to remove his aura or come all the way here to see what was going on in the room.
Nausica was in the main hall of the Pavilion of Youth, but she wasn't alone.
Angor had never seen this person before. It was a dark-skinned man with a pair of bright eyes. His gaze was pure and clean.
"Who's he?" Angor already had an idea, but he still asked.
"Number one." It was Leon who answered him.
Number One wasn't the butler of Sunders Manor. It was the nickname this man used during the Rising Star Competition.
Angor didn't know this man, but he had heard about him before. He was a character named "John's Counterattack". According to people, this man was a hot-blooded young man with a lucky aura.
His real name was Reynolds, and he was a good friend of everyone in the Pavilion of Youth. Leon was also taught by him a lot.
Since he was someone they were familiar with, why would Shan sneakily bring him here to 'spy' on them? Angor gave Shan a strange look.
Shan whispered, "Don't you think it's strange? I think Reynolds is interested in Nausica. "
"Is that so?" Angor sensed the atmosphere in the room. Reynolds and Nausica were talking, but they didn't seem to be doing anything romantic.
Angor tried to eavesdrop on their conversation out of curiosity.
Since there was no explanation, Angor did not know what was going on. It sounded like Reynolds was talking about "experiment subjects". Reynolds also said something strange, "My nickname came from the fact that I'm number one in the experiment."
Angor didn't think it was a private matter, so he stopped eavesdropping.
Shan was still mumbling to herself, "Reynolds came here today and said something to Nausica in the hall. I think he's going to confess his love."
"Will Nausica accept Reynolds if he confesses his love to her?"
Shan was still talking to herself. Red hearts flashed in her eyes. "I think he will agree, right?"
"Why would you agree?" Leon asked curiously.
Shan lowered her head and blushed. "Because … because … if it's me, Reynolds … I can …"
She paused and looked at Angor. Of course, if it's Angor, she could do it too.
Leon:???
You can do it? What?
Angor shook his head. "No way."
"How do you know that?"
"Because she's Nausica."
Even if Reynolds did confess, Nausica would definitely reject him.
Angor could ask Sailum about this, and Sailum would probably say the same thing. They knew Nausica too well.
In this world, there had always been an impression of women. A woman's final destination was still love. Even in some fairy tales, princesses would end up living happily with their princes.
Nausica didn't think so. She didn't hate love, nor was she hurt by it. She simply believed that she had greater ambitions. Why should she die on a small boat that could give her away at any time?
Nausica had been determined about her future since the very beginning. She had once been a great pirate in the Blackberry Sea. She had been free and unrestrained in her pursuit of freedom. Now that she knew that there was more freedom in the Wizarding World, her vision was no longer limited to this.
She saw the future. What she wanted was immortality.
To achieve immortality, she had to embark on the path of truth.
As for other trivial matters, she couldn't let them go.
