When the world's consciousness arrived, it caused a great commotion. But when it left, it simply vanished into thin air.
The sky was clear again, and warm sunlight poured down from above.
Angor followed Sunders back to his manor on Phantom Island. The sunlight illuminated Sunders' handsome side profile, which was outlined by golden velvet.
Angor mumbled to himself. "Professor is really handsome. No wonder Lady Mirror likes him so much." But he still felt a headache when he thought about Lady Mirror's request.
If Lady Mirror asked him to do it, he would do it without hesitation. But since it was Sunders, Angor did not dare to answer on behalf of Sunders.
"I'm the one who needs to repay my debt. Why do I have to get Sunders involved?" Angor felt a little depressed.
After returning to the manor, Sunders brought Angor to an empty space surrounded by a magic array.
"Come, let me see what you've comprehended."
Toby flew up and landed in front of Sunders. Angor watched the man and the bird staring at each other and took a step back quietly.
Sunders reached out his hand and pointed his palm at Toby. Invisible ripples spread out from his palm.
"You're in spirit summoning mode. Release the sequence of gravity you learned," Sunders spoke to Toby.
Toby chirped twice, as if he was arguing about something, but no one could understand what he was saying. He could only give up. Toby's beady eyes were wide open, but it still did not move.
Angor thought Toby was angry, so he urged the bird to release the sequence of gravity.
Toby only rolled its eyes. Angor believed that if Toby was not arguing with Sunders, Toby would have kicked him in the face.
A moment later, Sunders retracted his spirit summoning.
Angor cursed Toby for being unreliable in his mind. He hurried to Sunders and said, "Professor, Toby is just a little naughty. Maybe he was lying when he said he found a destiny. He didn't stay still on purpose. Please forgive him."
Sunders finally looked up and glanced at Angor.
"No, he did learn the basic sequence of the law of gravity." Sunders frowned when he saw Angor's confused look. "Didn't you notice that Toby wasn't flapping his wings? It's purely relying on adjusting its own gravity to escape the shackles of the earth's core. "
Was there? Angor didn't know what to do. He was too tired to notice this detail.
"Something's wrong with your mind." Sunders' eyes glinted. "Huh? There are traces of damage to your mental space, and your mental strength is also weak. "
Sunders narrowed his eyes. "The spell backfired on you."
It was not a question. Sunders sounded certain.
He lowered his head in embarrassment. "Um … I was rearranging the formula for Cleanse and I didn't pay attention to the amount of mana. That's why …"
"Serves you right for learning to run before you can walk," Sunders scolded in a low voice but did not ask any more questions. However, he was still smiling as if he was satisfied with Angor's decision.
"Remember, learn from this lesson. In the future, when you want to get to the bottom of a spell, you have to know your limits. "
"Yes, sir." Angor also felt that Sunders was encouraging him to look for the source of a spell instead of following the models of others.
Sunders turned around and walked toward the exquisite castle in the center of the manor. "Follow me to my study and report on your progress."
"Yes, sir!" Angor quickly followed.
On their way, Sunders told Angor about Toby's sequence of gravity.
"It's a low-level sequence of the law of gravity. It can change the gravity of one's body to a certain extent." Sunders sighed. "Even so, it's almost as powerful as a level-3 cantrip. It can only change gravity for now, but it can also greatly increase one's speed and explosive power in close-range combat. If we can change the target of the spell to other objects in the future, it will also gain a certain degree of long-range combat ability. "
"I didn't expect that a bird would be able to seize the opportunity when so many people around failed to do so. This is really … interesting."
While chatting, Angor also understood why wizards and apprentices alike wanted to learn a sequence of laws.
This was because comprehending a sequence of laws was equivalent to obtaining a spell slot for free.
Speaking of spell slots, there was another key word: "instantaneous spell".
A wizard's casting speed depended on his or her understanding and proficiency of the spell.
There were two ways to learn an "instantaneous spell". The first was to trace the origin of the spell and fully understand its meaning. This method was very time-consuming. Many Sorcerers would spend decades or even centuries studying it before they could achieve the level of instantaneous casting of a spell.
The second method was to learn a spell slot.
A spell slot was a special location in a spirit model that could permanently solidify a spell model. After solidifying the spell model, it would allow the wizard to cast spells instantly.
Learning a sequence of laws was basically the same as gaining a spell slot. The ability to cast a spell based on a sequence of laws could be cast instantly. Although it would consume a corresponding amount of magic power, instantaneous spells would give the caster a greater advantage. Because of this, no matter if it was an official sorcerer or a sorcerer's apprentice, they would all scramble to comprehend the sequence of laws.
"Too bad I didn't learn the sequence of the law of gravity. Otherwise, I'll have another trump card when I challenge Sky Tower," Angor sighed.
However, he also vaguely felt that he seemed to have comprehended something. However, it wasn't him who had comprehended it. Rather, it was "him" who had comprehended it in a certain state.
…
As soon as Sunders sat down in his study, he heard someone knocking on the window behind him.
Angor looked over and saw Flora floating outside the window with a sly look on her face.
He opened the window, and Flora slowly floated in.
"What are you doing here?" Sunders crossed his legs, took off his tall black hat, and put it on the desk. He slowly took off his monocle and looked at Flora.
Flora giggled and pointed at Sunders' new golden earring. "I'm just curious about the Sorcerer's Garden."
"If you're curious, go find the Tree Spirit. It has a Sorcerer's Garden in its body too."
"It's not the same. This is a newborn Sorcerer's Garden. I've never seen it before. Besides, I want to visit my professor's garden."
Sunders snorted. "It's not that different. Besides, a newborn Sorcerer's Garden has no law yet. It's no different from a plane fragment."
Flora pouted.
"Anything else?" Sunders gave her a sideways glance.
"What a boring man!" Flora cursed under her breath. She then wobbled her way to Angor. "I'm here because Leona asked me to do something for her."
"Leona?" Sunders immediately thought of a wizard who loved wearing long dresses with flower petals. "She asked you to do something for her? Why are you here?"
She nudged Angor's shoulder with her bare foot. "Because the thing she asked me to do has something to do with you."
Sunders looked at Flora and waited for an explanation.
"Leona saw Angor over there. She smelled the essence of Glutton Flower Lord on him. She wants to make a bottle of Salomon perfume, so she likes Angor's scent. " Flora took out a glass bottle usually used to extract gas from alchemy materials. "I don't need too much. Just half a bottle will do."
Angor was still in a daze. He didn't smell anything on his body these days, and he thought the smell was gone. But now … He sniffed himself and realized he did smell the essence of Glutton Flower Lord.
"You don't like the smell on me, do you, little brother?" Flora showed a smile on her face.
Angor nodded. He did not want to smell like that. It would ruin his manly image.
"Give it to me then?" Flora's smile grew brighter as if she was trying to persuade Angor.
Angor was about to nod.
Sunders suddenly spoke, "The essence of Glutton Flower Lord isn't as effective as it used to be. But it can still strengthen your soul, improve your concentration, and slightly improve your concentration. If you use it as an alchemy material, it can be considered a tier-1 material. Besides, the essence of Glutton Flower Lord hasn't been seen in the world for thousands of years. Even if it's only a tier-1 material, it can still be considered as a rare item in the eyes of some people. "
Flora's bright smile crumbled as soon as she heard those words. She gave Sunders a pitiful look. "Professor, are you forgetting your old friend now that you have a new one? I'm your student too. Don't screw me over. "
Sunders tilted his head and smiled. "I'm not screwing you over. I'm just reminding Angor about the unspoken rule of the wizarding world, the principle of equivalent exchange. "
Flora rolled her eyes at Sunders and spent a thousand merit points to absorb all the fragrance on Angor's body. She then slammed the door and left in a huff.
A thousand merit points was not a lot. It was only about ten magic crystals. Angor did not mind at all. He could get rid of the smell on him and earn some money at the same time. What a great deal!
Still, Angor felt a little awkward. He was a man, and his smell was used to make a woman's perfume. It did not feel right.
However, he remembered some recipes in Chinese medicine. Many perfumes were made from excrement, such as ambergris. There were also secretions from male glands, such as musk. With that in mind, Angor felt relieved.
"It's strange. When you came here last time, the smell on you was gone. Why is it so heavy now? Is it because you got the essence of Glutton Flower Lord from the Nightmare Realm? "Sunders suddenly asked.
Angor was surprised. "I don't know. I couldn't smell it myself a few days ago. I thought it was gone. I wouldn't have noticed it if Miss Flora didn't tell me. "
Sunders considered. "Fine. Let's not talk about such trivial things. Let's get down to business. How's your training these days? "
