The popularity of the "Rising Star Competition" began to wane as the finals ended. However, the contestants who made a name for themselves in the competition were still the hottest topics in the pubs.
Most of the contestants were still in Floating Mech City, but most of them were immersed in the trials in the Endless Corridor. Since they rarely showed up in public, most of the topics they talked about were already boring. Therefore, when they were talking about the contestants, they began to talk about what happened in the Rising Star Competition again, which they did not have time to talk about.
For example, Shirley and Carveline fought each other in the main city, Keely and Jebra flooded Perfumed Square, and the Supreme Cult chased after an otherworldly puppet. Once again, they talked about various things.
However, the hottest topic was still Angor's incident.
At the Black Wheel Pub on Champagne Road, a group of people was talking about Angor.
"Did you know? It's that Sorceress Shirley who dresses up as a magician. Someone saw her walking very close to a super dimensional wizard, and it's said that they even live together. Could they … "The voice of the person who spoke lowered, and there was a hint of ambiguity at the end of the sentence. After a brief moment of silence, a tacit smile appeared on everyone's face.
"Maybe it's true. Do you still remember what happened on the street? Not only did Jebra flood Perfumed Square, but Shirley also flooded an entire street. I heard many people died because of it. It was a huge slap to Floating Mech City's face. According to the rules of the law enforcers, Shirley would at least be severely punished. But as you know, the matter was left unsettled. " The middle-aged man with a mustache said with speculation, "I couldn't figure it out at first, but after hearing what you said, I guess it could be that the extra-dimensional wizard helped her settle this matter. After all, he is a member of the R&D department, and the law enforcement team wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to the people of the R&D department."
These words caused the crowd to nod their heads repeatedly. The middle-aged man who made the suggestion was also proud of himself. However, he didn't get to enjoy it for long before he heard a cold voice coming from behind.
"Why must it be the super dimensional wizard who did it? Why can't Shirley do it herself? Besides, Carveline was also fighting with Shirley. You know her background. Maybe she used her connections to suppress this matter? "
The sudden cold voice made the middle-aged man, who had been happily gossiping, frown.
He turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a young man who was dressed very strangely. He had black hair, black eyes, and black eye circles. He was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes. Other than the exposed pale skin, his entire body was almost black, giving the illusion that he was a vampire that had crawled out of a graveyard.
However, there were many reflective rivets on his leather jacket and pants, which dispelled some of the gloomy aura.
The middle-aged man was a beginner apprentice. Although he had already exhausted most of his potential, being in the lower echelons of the Transcendent World, he still had a good eye for things. He didn't know this young man, but he was dressed in such a stylish style, and his aura was very calm, so he should have some strength.
In particular, there was a bat with scarlet eyes perched on the young man's shoulder. The bat gave him a sense of threat.
"He's not weak. Maybe he's even stronger than I thought." After coming to this conclusion, the middle-aged man was a little annoyed by the young man's rebuttal, but now he no longer looked down on him.
"I'm just saying my guess. I don't know if it's true or not. Mister, do you know something about this? "
The young man with the dark circles under his eyes coldly drank a glass of wine. The dark red wine stained his lips, forming a sickly contrast with his pale skin. "I don't know the inside story. I only know a little. It's rash to judge others based on one's own vision."
The middle-aged man frowned. He didn't know what the young man meant, but he was sure that the young man was mocking him. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the young man with dark circles glanced at him coldly. "No wonder you're only a beginner apprentice. People who are drowned in desire will always use their heart filled with desire to guess that others are like you."
The middle-aged man now understood that the young man was indirectly saying that he didn't have enough vision.
"You're saying that Shirley has nothing to do with the super dimensional wizard? But someone saw her living in a manor outside the city with his own eyes. "
The young man snorted. "I don't know if they have anything to do with each other, but I do know one thing. Shirley's professor is also a member of the research department."
His words completely overturned the middle-aged man's assumption. Since Shirley's professor was a member of the research department, Angor didn't need to help her. And it wasn't strange that Shirley knew Angor.
The middle-aged man really wanted to say that the young man was lying, but when he saw the young man's confident expression, he backed off.
His own guesses about Angor were all based on speculation, and he also used words like "I guess" or "maybe". However, the young man in front of him sounded "certain". Compared to this, the middle-aged man had no right to refute.
In the end, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Instead, he simply said something like "So there's more to this than meets the eye".
His friend at the same table also saw his awkwardness at this time and simply helped to change the topic: "Oh right, speaking of the Super Dimensional Wizard, there is one more thing that is worth talking about. Do you know that during the Rising Star Competition, the Super Dimensional Wizard also gave alchemy classes in Ashley Comprehensive Academy?"
Most of the people here were only beginner apprentices, so they didn't know as much as they thought. Many of them heard about this for the first time, so they all looked over curiously.
"From what you're saying, could it be that you know what the Super Dimensional Wizard talked about in class?"
"I don't know what he talked about, but as far as I know, in his alchemy class, the Super Dimensional Wizard showed an extraordinary way of technical expression. This way of expression threw a thunderclap in the art circle!"
His words reminded many people of something that was currently very popular in Floating Mech City.
"My tutor loves art very much. Recently, the thing I've heard my tutor talk about the most frequently is a box. You're not talking about that, are you? "
"Yes, it's a play box." Next, the man began to talk about the repercussions caused by the play box. Those who didn't know anything about it were fascinated by it, while those who knew more about it sneered.
"Part of what you said is right. Some people in the art circle do say that this is an almost earth-shattering innovation and reform, but many people have abandoned it after experiencing the drama box, saying that it's just for the sake of sensationalism."
The man's rebuttal also attracted some people's response. "Yeah, it sounds fancy. I don't believe it's really a revolutionary innovation."
While everyone was arguing, someone else said, "I know who you're talking about. Witch Whisper bought a drama box some time ago. She criticized it and said that it was not artistic at all and was just a claptrap. But as far as I know, Whisper Witch released another statement yesterday. She said that the play box is an epoch-making innovation, and that it's her fault for not knowing enough about it. She also said that she's going to find someone to cooperate with her to make a play box. "
Whisper Witch was a formal wizard, and she was extremely narrow-minded. No one would dare to use her to lie. Besides, this man spoke so confidently that he had proof.
"Why did Whisper Witch say different things about the play box?" someone asked.
"I don't know. But I heard that Whisper Witch went to Sunset Boulevard in a hurry a few days ago and bought a new play box. After comparing it, I found out that there's something different about it. "
