"An unusual alchemy weapon?"
Prome's comment left Dave confused for the rest of the day. For some reason, he had a vague idea about the weapon's origin. But the idea was so ridiculous that he could not believe it himself.
Still, the idea remained in his mind for some reason. It was like a sudoku puzzle waiting for someone to solve it.
After returning home, Angor spent some time crafting dozens of golden bolts.
He took off his robe and pulled up his sleeve, revealing the alchemy weapon tied to his wrist.
It was a small crossbow tied to his wrist joint, which looked like a hand crossbow. However, compared to a hand crossbow, this one was much more complicated. It had more than six main parts and countless smaller ones.
In the end, he assembled this automatic long-range alchemy weapon — the Trigger Crossbow.
The Trigger Crossbow looked like something out of a sci-fi novel. At least, it did not look like the mainstream alchemy products nowadays. The golden band was tied from the wrist to the arm layer by layer. All the golden bolts were stored in the band. If Angor could learn Expansion Rune, he would be able to store the golden bolts better. However, he did not have any Expansion Rune in his hologram tablet. He had to look for it in Cloud Library when he had time.
The Trigger Crossbow had two main types of kinetic energy. The more common kinetic energy was the micro-electricity generated when the body moved. The kinetic energy was generated through the body. The small golden arrow shot out was pure ammunition, without any special effects.
The other type of kinetic energy relied on magic power as kinetic energy. Using mana to control the Trigger Crossbow would trigger the runes on the golden bolts, which would give the bolts special effects.
However, engraving runes on the golden bolts was too expensive and time-consuming. Angor only prepared ten bolts with runes. Most of the runes were frost runes, but there were also fire runes and armor-piercing runes.
These golden bolts with special effects were very precious. Angor would not use them unless he was in a dire situation.
After adding the new bolts to his wristband, Angor entered a meditative state. He had to meditate to expand his mana pool every day. Becoming stronger was always a prerequisite to surpass everything else.
The next day, when Angor arrived at the Sky Tower, he attracted a lot of attention.
"Baron Milk is here?"
"I remember that yesterday, didn't several groups of people besiege him? Why does he look fine? "
"That's right, I saw Red Butterfly, Dogman and the Crowley brothers following him yesterday. At that time, I wanted to say that this kid was dead for sure. But now, it seems that I was too naive. "
"Red Butterfly and Dog Herder are missing …"
"Don't tell me Baron Milk killed him?"
"Isn't Brother Chloe fine? What did they say? "
"The two brothers have always been immersed in their own world. When we asked, they wouldn't say anything. Damn it. "
"I don't care if Baron Milk did it or not. Now that Red Butterfly is dead, I'm sure Vice will go after him. Let's stay away from him."
Angor didn't pay too much attention to the discussions around him. He quietly walked to the drawing area and began to draw new lots.
He did not run into any tough opponents in the morning. The first level of the Sky Tower was not that strong, after all. He easily won three matches in the morning and earned another 9 points and 39 merit points.
The other contestants would use up a lot of mana for each match. It was already rare for someone to fight two matches in a day. Angor, on the other hand, used his alchemy weapon to push his way through without using up much of his mana. He easily won the match.
It had been decades since someone like him appeared in the Sky Tower's matches. Sky Tower might sound grand, but it was only an arena for low-level apprentices. There were very few level-1 and level-2 apprentices who owned alchemy weapons. It was not unreasonable for someone like Angor to be able to defeat them all. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Little ↑ Say △ Net]
The other contestants only had one thought about Angor's behavior. "He has such a powerful alchemy weapon. Why did he come to the Sky Tower to steal merit points from us? Does he have nothing better to do? You can get more contribution points just by accepting some random missions than by competing in the competition. "
Some people even compared Baron Milk to Blackjack. They believed that Baron Milk was also a sadomasochist who bullied the weak to satisfy his perverted desires. The only difference was that Baron Milk did not kill people, while Blackjack tortured people to death.
It only took one day for the other contestants to completely change their opinions about Baron Milk.
Angor was not interested in such meaningless gossip. He only climbed the tower diligently. He needed 30 points to advance from the first level to the second. Angor already had 18 points. He only needed to win four more matches in the afternoon and he would reach the second level.
After what happened yesterday, no one followed him when he left the Sky Tower at noon. After finishing his meal, Angor meditated for a while and returned to Sky Tower.
The matches in the afternoon were still as expected. Angor won all four matches in a row. The only thing that left an impression on Angor was that he was matched against the King of Beasts.
It was a man with a white kitten called "King" and a bow on his back. He never used it before, and there was a colorful feather on his head.
Angor watched the King of Beasts' matches before, so he still remembered him clearly. It had been half a month, and the man was still fighting in the first level. It seemed that he was also a bottom-feeder. His match against the King of Beasts was even easier. Angor did not even need to use the golden arrow. He simply used a few spell combinations to control the kitten.
The King of Beasts did not care about anything else when he saw the kitten being controlled. He simply knelt down and surrendered. After that, he ran to check on the kitten's injuries like a mad cat torturer.
If he really cared about his cat so much, why did he let it fight in the first place? Angor did not understand why the King of Beasts would do something like this.
Still, Angor remembered the strange behavior of the King of Beasts.
…
"You're going to the second level?"
"Yes."
Angor came to the registration office again. Yesterday, he was here to sign up. Today, he was here to advance.
The clerk was not the same person as yesterday. Instead, it was a beautiful woman.
The clerk checked Angor's profile and found that he earned 30 points in one day and advanced from the first level. This was the first time this happened in her career, so she kept looking at Angor while going through the registration.
But Angor was wearing a hood and speaking in a muffled voice. She could not see anything special about him.
It was already seven o 'clock in the evening when the registration was completed. Angor had no interest in participating in the night match. He took back his modified profile card and left the Sky Tower.
He did not go home right away. Instead, he took a detour and went to Prome's Alchemy Shop.
It had nothing to do with the murder yesterday. He wanted to buy some more alchemy materials. He spent most of his materials crafting the golden arrow these days.
He also wanted to buy some materials with other attributes. There were many powerful runes he saw in Enchantment Cyclopaedia: For Beginners. However, they were not compatible with the materials he bought, so they could not be used.
When he arrived at the cliff where Prome's Alchemy Shop was located, he noticed that the shop's door was closed. There were signs of a lock on the door. Normally, Dave would stay in the shop even if he did not open the door. Now that the door was locked, Angor knew that Dave was not inside.
Since the shop was closed, Angor had no choice but to go home.
To his surprise, he did not find Dave in Prome's Alchemy Shop. Instead, he saw the man outside his house.
Angor looked from afar and saw Dave standing at the gate, observing something in his hand by the light of the oil lamp on the door.
"Why are you here? I was going to look for you at your shop, but here you are at my door. "Angor removed his hood and greeted Dave with a smile.
David looked a little uncomfortable. "I'm here to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" Angor opened the door and invited Dave inside. "What's there to apologize for? Did you say something bad about me behind my back? "
Angor poured a glass of water for Dave and sat down on the sofa facing each other.
"Yesterday, if I didn't say something out of line, you wouldn't have let Chloe and Chloe go." Dave looked ashamed. "Letting Chloe and Chloe go might have caused you trouble. I'm really sorry."
Angor considered for a moment and chuckled. "Isn't it normal for wizards to kill each other and scheme against each other?"
"I'm just blaming myself." Dave lowered his head and did not dare to look at Angor.
Angor stared at Dave for a while and clapped his hands. "Alright, I accept your apology. I'll find a way to deal with Chloe and Chloe. I saw them today, but they seemed to be avoiding me on purpose. If you're really blaming yourself, tell me about them. "
Dave nodded. "Chloe and Chloe aren't the main problem. They won't do anything to you again, but you still have to be careful. The real problem is Red Butterfly. "
"Red Butterfly?"
Dave briefly explained Red Butterfly's background. "… Although Master Prome said that Red Butterfly's relationship with Vice isn't what the outside world thinks, Red Butterfly doesn't only have a relationship with Vice. She has a few other men under her skirt. If they work together against you, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
"Hmm … Alright. I'll keep that in mind." Angor did not want to comment too much. He did not want Dave to feel more guilty.
"Send me the details of those people through your transmitter next time. Speaking of which, I need to talk to you about something. " Angor changed the topic. "I want to buy some materials and sell an alchemy weapon. Can you help me estimate the price?"
