"You want to come with me?" Angor hoped to work with Dave. Two people could help each other, and they could work together more efficiently.
Dave shook his head. "Nah, I'm not interested in music boxes. Call me next time if you have other alchemy projects."
Dave did not believe that a music box could do anything special. He did not believe that he could make a tiered music box. With Angor's current enchantment ability, he could not engrave Rune of Sharpness on the music box. Obviously not.
"Alright then." Angor was a little disappointed.
A deep chime came from the clock tower of the underground market.
"It's ten o 'clock now. Time to go." Angor stood up and said goodbye to Dave.
As he stepped out of the shop, he suddenly remembered something and went back inside. "Hey, Dave, do you have any Rune books here?"
"Runes? You mean enchanted runes? "Dave was puzzled." Don't you have them? That Rune of Sharpness you saw last time is an enchanted rune. "
"It's not an enchanted rune. It's just a normal rune," said Angor.
"Why do you want ordinary mageweath books? Those runes can't be engraved on alchemy items. " Dave suddenly thought of something. "You're not planning to do magic array enchantments, are you?"
To engrave active runes on alchemy items, one could only do so through magic arrays. However, magic arrays were much more difficult to enchant than regular runes. Magic arrays were harder to learn and more difficult to master. They were not as effective as "synthesis". Alchemists usually did not dabble in this field.
"I'm just going to take a look. I'm not going to do magic arrays." Angor was interested in Runes, but he did not plan to get involved in this new subject yet. He only wanted to see if he could use the hologram tablet to create rune scrolls.
Dave showed a worried look. "Hey, Angor, you just became a supernatural not long ago. You're not doing anything serious. It won't do you any good. Alchemy, Sky Tower, and now Rune study. You're only a level-1 apprentice. Focus on your own strength is the right thing to do. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Little ↑ Network] No matter how talented you are in alchemy, you can only make low-tier alchemy items if you can't keep up with your training. Your own strength is the most important thing. "
Angor understood Dave's words. However, he could not tell Dave that he was not going to study Runes. He only wanted to test the hologram tablet.
"I have books on enchantment, but I don't have any rune books. Even if I do, I won't sell them to you. I'm doing this for your own good." Dave put on a "regretful" expression and said, "I have books on enchantment. But I don't have any rune books. Even if I do, I won't sell them to you.
David's attitude was indeed very much like that of an elder. ............................... Dave was.. Dave................................................
Angor sighed in his mind. Fine. I'll try my best to play along with you.
Angor put on a "I learned a lot" expression.
"You're right. I get distracted too easily. From now on, I'll meditate and train. I won't do anything else."
Angor's expression pleased Dave, but Dave was surprised by Angor's words. "You don't have to work so hard. You can do alchemy once in a while. You need to strike a balance between work and rest. "
"Nah. I'll just meditate. I'll try not to be the last person on the train. "With that, Angor bowed to the nobles and left.
David was left in a mess in the wind.
Angor left the underground market and returned to the apprentice town. The heavy air was replaced by fresh air.
It was too late today, so he went to the apprentice town market and bought some cooked food to fill his stomach.
He went straight to his soundproof room to meditate. He didn't know why, but today's meditation was surprisingly smooth. It was much more efficient than before. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Little ↑ Say △ Net]
After finishing his meditation, Angor wondered if he had reached "calmness of mind" from "calmness of mind".
"Calmness of mind" meant that one could enter the deepest level of meditation in a noisy environment. "Finding calmness in the midst of chaos" referred to calmness of mind.
Angor considered and played a song called "Childhood Memories" on his hologram tablet. According to the music label, the author was Bandree.
The music was soothing and gentle. Angor was surprised to find that the song was just as good as "City of Sky". Unknown instruments were used to play multiple instruments, and the melodious notes seemed to bring the listener back to his carefree childhood.
The song was nice, but Angor did not turn it on just to listen to it.
He quickly closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. Amidst the gentle and soothing music, Angor found himself in a meditative state.
Did he really reach "calmness of mind" in meditation? Or was it because the song was too gentle and not too passionate that it did not affect his meditation?
Angor closed the tablet and went to the attic.
Let Toby use his two remaining echo flowers, along with his shrill chirps, to make noise for him.
Toby thought Angor was enjoying the music, so it began to play happily.
Angor endured the noise and closed his eyes to force himself to meditate. When he entered the chaotic mind space, he felt the noises from the outside world slowly separated from his consciousness.
This was different from "Childhood Memories". When listening to soothing music, he could still hear it in his ears even when he was meditating. But Toby's noises were isolated as if there was a mysterious organ in his brain that automatically distinguished between noise and music.
Even so, Angor could still feel the strange frequency of the noises.
Angor could not calm his mind to meditate in this state.
As expected, he did not reach "calmness of mind". According to the records, "calmness of mind" could only be achieved by wizards. It was normal that Angor could not reach it.
Angor returned to his soundproof room.
He did not reach "calmness of mind", but why was his meditation so efficient? It was almost a 10% increase.
Angor tried to recall what happened today and did not find anything out of the ordinary. The only strange thing was that he was not attacked by Sylvia's soul during his fight with Saka.
But this had nothing to do with meditation efficiency.
Angor could not figure it out, but it was not a bad thing to improve meditation efficiency. He had to bury the question in his mind and find time to ask Sunders.
…
Another week passed. This afternoon, Angor fought against a poison apprentice who was a combination of wood and earth elements. In the end, Angor used a precious fire arrow to end the fight.
After the fight, Angor's points finally broke through the limit, and he reached the 13th level of the Sky Tower.
The thirteenth floor, the fourteenth floor, and the fifteenth floor. The last three floors were completely different from the previous ones. They were the most lively and darkest of the Sky Tower. Almost every day, someone would die in the matches.
This was why many apprentices referred to the last three levels as the "Three Levels of Death".
After reaching the 13th level, Angor did not go to the matches right away. Instead, he found an arena and observed the level of the contestants. As a contestant on the 13th level, he did not need to pay to watch matches in any arena. This was one of the benefits provided by the Sky Tower.
The layout of the Three Levels of Death was different from the previous twelve levels.
There were only three arenas on the 13th level, which were slightly bigger than the ones below. However, there were twice as many audience seats. Each arena could hold at least a thousand people at the same time.
Matches were going on in all three arenas at the same time. Angor chose the one with the most audience and walked to it.
The big screen at the top of the arena read: "Fox Master VS Hurricane Bringer".
Angor did not know who the combatants were, but the name "Fox Master" reminded him of some unpleasant memories.
Hurricane Bringer was a tall, middle-aged man with sideburns, wearing a cape with green stripes and silver stripes. His epaulets had the emblem of his clan on them.
Fox Master, on the other hand, was wearing a white wizard robe and holding a wooden staff with a fox's head engraved on it. He looked handsome and calm, and his long silver hair hung loosely over his shoulders. He looked like an otherworldly hermit. He was obviously young, but he had the appearance of "standing aloof from worldly affairs", which made people roll their eyes and ridicule him. Another thing was that Fox Master kept his eyes closed during the match. He did not open his eyes when casting spells or moving around. He looked like a chuunibyou who was trying his best to ridicule the world.
Hurricane Bringer was a caster who could control wind elements. Fox Master was a Summoner. However, he did not summon any monsters so far. He only summoned the shadows of monsters to fight.
Hurricane Bringer was not as strong as Fox Master. It was a one-sided fight.
The Blood-Eyed Vixen was nothing more than a shadow demon in Fox Master's hands. Every time it appeared, it would turn into a white blur. Together with Fox Master's graceful movements, the match was more like Fox Master's personal show than a duel.
Fox Master moved with large strides so that his silver hair would look more elegant.
Fox Master turned around on purpose so that he could show his perfect side profile.
Of course, that was just Angor's assumption. But he had to admit that Fox Master's performance made the match even more beautiful, and the atmosphere outside the arena became even more lively.
A moment later, Fox Master defeated Hurricane Bringer in a dominating manner and won the match.
In this match, Fox Master had been showing off, but he was indeed much stronger than the other contestants downstairs.
Even Hurricane Bringer, who was being suppressed all the time, was much stronger than the others. Angor estimated that he would have to use the runed golden arrow to defeat Hurricane Bringer.
Even so, it would take him a long time to win.
It seemed he had to change his strategy.
