The conversation between Nausica and Reynolds was over. Reynolds bowed to Nausica one last time and left the room.
Reynolds saw Angor in the yard. Angor had already returned to his original appearance, so Reynolds quickly bowed to him with respect.
Angor nodded with a smile. Reynolds did give Leon a lot of advice before. Whether the old man knew Leon's identity or not, and whether he did it on purpose, Angor would not treat him coldly.
Shan was going to ask Reynolds to stay in the yard for some barbecue. However, Reynolds shook his head and declined the offer, saying that he had something to do and left early. Shan thought Reynolds was a little nervous.
"Did Nausica reject him?" Shan watched Reynolds leave with a doubtful look.
Shan pushed the door open and looked at Nausica, who was sitting in the hall.
Nausica was still holding her opium pipe. The air was filled with the strange smell of tobacco. Inside the smoke, Nausica's eyes looked unfocused as if she was thinking or hesitating.
"You're hesitating? Don't tell me you're hesitating? "Shan lifted the curtain and ran to Nausica's side.
Nausica snapped out of her daze and chuckled. "What the hell are you thinking about? Reynolds just wanted to talk to me about something. "
"Talk? What is it? "It was Leon who followed Shan into the hall.
Nausica glanced at Leon and looked at Angor, who was standing beside Leon. She exhaled a puff of smoke and waved at Angor lazily.
"It's rare to see you here."
"I've been experimenting with some spells."
Nausica stretched her body. "I'm going to study cantrips after the New Star Competition. After level-2 cantrips, I feel like I need to learn more. If I don't do something soon, I won't even make it to the top 100 in the next New Star Competition."
Nausica had a powerful Bloodline ability, but she had not reached the level where she could defeat ten people with brute strength. She needed to learn more cantrips.
After some small talk, everyone sat down and Nausica began to answer Leon's questions.
"Reynolds is here because he wants to work with me on something." Nausica tapped her forehead. "I'm not sure if I should go or not."
Nausica did not tell them the details. Perhaps it was related to Reynolds' secret, so no one asked.
"Why didn't Reynolds find someone else but you?" Angor asked.
"Because where Reynolds wants to go, there's something I need there too." Nausica's explanation was still vague, but the reason was clear. Perhaps Reynolds and Nausica had different requests, but they shared the same goal. That was why Reynolds invited Nausica.
Seeing her hesitation, Angor decided not to give her another suggestion.
Nausica knew what she wanted, and she wouldn't do anything rashly. She knew what she wanted, and she wouldn't act on impulse. There was no need for Angor to teach Nausica how to do it.
But as a good friend, Angor still said, "If you have any problems, feel free to come to me."
Nausica was surprised. She then smiled. "Of course. It'd be such a waste if I don't hug someone who can help me."
Nausica did not want to talk about Reynolds. She changed the topic. "Speaking of which, Gank is having a barbecue today. You can join us."
Angor understood what Nausica meant and did not say anything else. During the barbecue feast, Angor met Sailum and Shiliew, who rarely woke up.
Sailum was still a little depressed. It was not because he lost a lot of matches and lost a lot of his ranking. It was because Raven could not see any hope of waking up, which made him sad.
"Since Codex Dark said he'll come back, why don't you just trust him? If you're really worried, you can ask the Elder of Books when you see him next time. If not, you can always go to Dodoro. "
Sailum's expression eased a little. He might not be able to meet the Elder of Books. As for Dodoro, Sailum only knew that Dodoro was a Prophet apprentice who was close to Angor. Apart from that, Sailum knew nothing about Dodoro's abilities. But as long as he knew that Dodoro was a Prophet, there was still a way.
Sailum became more talkative after he calmed down a little. The atmosphere of the barbecue banquet changed from the initial silence to a lively atmosphere.
"Do you have any more matches after this?" Angor asked the same question.
Nausica did not have any matches left unless someone challenged her. But she was already at the bottom of the top 100, so no one would challenge her.
Sailum did have a few matches, but they were all challenges. According to Sailum, he did not plan to join them and just gave up. So Angor did not need to watch them.
So Angor did not need to watch the ranking matches at all.
With that in mind, Angor asked about the groups and matches for the top 16. Shiliew was still in a match after all.
"I don't know who I'm going to fight. The list won't come out until tomorrow night," Shiliew spoke slowly as if she would fall asleep at any moment.
Shiliew did not seem to care about the final ranking. But since Shiliew was the only one left in Brute Cavern, everyone hoped that she could get a higher ranking.
Angor returned to his manor and continued his research with Freud in the dream wasteland.
The next night, he left the dream wasteland and checked the list of the top 16 participants on his phone.
Of course, Shiliew and Keely were the ones he was most concerned about.
He did not want to run into them since they were both good friends to him. Besides, one was fire while the other was water. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
Angor sighed in relief after reading the list.
The top 16 were divided into two groups. Shiliew and Keely were not in the same group. They would not run into each other unless they reached the final.
Shiliew's first match was against "Shining New Star".
Angor remembered that Shining New Star fought against Reynolds before. When Reynolds lost, everyone thought that Reynolds lost because of John's Luck Aura. But in fact, Reynolds avoided fighting against Jebra because he lost.
Jebra and Shining Nova fought again, and Shining Nova lost. Even so, he was still ranked among the top 16, which meant that he was not to be underestimated.
Keely's opponent was "Spring Dancer" Dominique.
It was hard to tell who would win the match between Shiliew and Shining New Star. He didn't know who the "Shining Star" was, but Keely and Dominique were more or less the same. Keely's victory was already assured.
…
The ranking matches were not over yet. The eight matches of the group matches would begin on the same day.
Today, the Tower of Infinity reached its peak. Even before he entered the Tower of Infinity, he could already feel the overwhelming enthusiasm from the crowd.
The area within 300 meters of the Tower of Infinity was almost packed with people, which showed how many people came to watch the matches.
Due to the popularity of the matches, tickets became scarce.
The most popular matches, such as Jebra, Carveline, Doriz, and Onassis, were all sold out almost instantly.
Angor did not need to buy a ticket. He simply went to watch the matches as a special guest.
He chose to watch Shiliew's match.
Dripping River VS Shining New Star.
