Parasite Queen
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As the sun set, the red glow of a distant mountain slowly faded away.
Angor sat in the yard and gazed at the distant mountains. His thoughts drifted to the Old Earth, which was on the other side of the world.
At this time, what was Leon doing? He should have eaten by now, right? Did he have a birthday party?
Leon had left, and Jon was sick. Now, Leon was in charge of everything in the Padt Manor. Perhaps he had forgotten that today was his birthday.
Angor picked up the milk in his hand and saluted to the distant mountain.
The distance between them was not enough to separate them from each other.
"Happy birthday, Leon." Angor prayed in his mind.
…
Back in his lab, Angor continued studying illusions.
As usual, he didn't try to learn more advanced illusions. Instead, he focused on practicing basic illusions.
However, that didn't mean he didn't read the content of these illusions. He read the notebook Sunders gave him several times, and he could already memorize most of the illusions.
He didn't pay attention to which class he belonged to. Instead, he tried to memorize the basic method of casting the illusions in his mind. Once he mastered basic illusions, he would be able to learn them by analogy.
Among all the illusions he learned, the one he was most interested in was "Melodious Illusion", a level-1 cantrip.
Melodious Illusion was one of the lowest-level illusions in the field of sound illusions. It wasn't much different from basic illusions. The only difference was that it used sound to create an illusion. The illusion was harmless and could only be used to confuse the opponent.
It wasn't because he was interested in "Acoustic Illusion". It was because of a new idea that popped up in his mind.
Apart from the matches, meditation, and reading, he had been working on something else — making a music box for Toby.
The main material for the music box was Echo Flower. As for the supplementary materials, Angor made a list of them. His original plan was to make the music box like a hologram tablet, which could play multiple pieces of music without any loss of sound quality.
However, after some consideration, he realized that it was no different from a "crystal ball transmitter". Angor's transmitter was the lowest-level one and couldn't record sound. However, when he visited Sunders last time, he saw Sunders using the transmitter to play his matches in Sky Tower, which included both sound and image.
Therefore, if the music box was purely made into a device to play music, it would be better to follow the blueprint of the 'Basic Alchemy Compendium' and make a high-level communicator.
Since he was going to make an alchemy-level music box, he wanted to try something new.
Later, when he saw the Level 1 Melodious Illusion spell, he suddenly had an idea. If he combined Melodious Illusion with music, perhaps there would be an unexpected effect?
For example, when he played music, the Melodious Illusion of the Sky Tower, the Sky Tower of Sky City. Just like the song 《City in the Sky》, as the music was triggered, an illusion slowly formed. In the blue sky, under the floating clouds, a faintly floating city appeared in the eyes of the audience. Green grass, green trees, limestone, and the sound of flying pigeons and cicadas … Just imagine how beautiful the scene would be.
Angor also remembered that he experimented with it last time. Such soothing music would not affect the efficiency of meditation. Sometimes, it could even help a wizard enter a meditative state.
Since that was the case, wouldn't it be more interesting if he combined illusions and music to carve a heart-calming mageweath?
That's right. His idea was completely amusing.
However, he had to figure out how to combine Melodious Illusion with alchemy in order to create such an "interesting music box". He had no problems with other runes, materials, and blueprints. This was the only problem he had yet to solve.
…
While Angor was practicing his illusions, it was already eight o 'clock in the evening.
More and more people gathered around the bulletin board in front of the Sky Tower. Most of them were mortals hired by apprentices to check the ranking list, but there were also apprentices who came in person. Angor could tell the difference from the distribution of people around the bulletin board.
Most of the apprentices were talking about their matches under the bulletin board. The mortals, on the other hand, were standing tens of meters away from the board, trying to see what was going on with their heads.
The mortals were all silent at the rear, but in the circle of Apprentice Adepts at the front, they were all making noises and guessing about tomorrow's match list.
"I heard that the handsome and powerful Fox Master entered the pool in front of everyone today."
"So he's going to fight tomorrow, right? Of all the matches in the Three Levels of Death, he's the one I'm most interested in. "
Two young female apprentices were whispering to each other while holding each other's arms. Whenever they talked about Fox Master, their faces would blush. Angor couldn't tell if it was due to excitement or shyness.
"Speaking of which, there aren't any matches worth watching tomorrow. Why are there so many people here?"
"I think Parasite Queen came to the Sky Tower today. Someone thinks she's going to fight."
"Parasite Queen? The champion of Level 13? "
"Yeah. It's been a while since I saw a champion match in the Three Levels of Death. It'll be great if it's true!"
"I don't think so. I thought the champion matches were announced ten days or half a month in advance? I didn't see any announcement from the Sky Tower. Besides, if Parasite Queen entered the pool, no one would dare to draw her, right? "
"I don't know about that. People aren't expecting anything. They're just here to watch."
"If you don't expect anything, you won't be disappointed."
It was a sound that stopped when the bells of the belfry were rung.
As the bell stopped ringing, the big transparent screen at the bottom of the Sky Tower changed. The old list of matches was refreshed.
Everyone looked at the first row of the big screen.
The first row was always reserved for the Sky Tower. It was the match recommended by the organizer.
When they saw the names of the two sides, the entire bulletin board went silent.
[Parasite Queen VS Baron Milk, Level 13, Match 4! ]
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Some even rubbed their eyes and looked again. Seeing that the big screen didn't change, they pointed at the row of words with trembling fingers.
"Impossible! Parasite Queen is going to fight?! "
This was practically the roar in the hearts of all the Apprentice Adepts on the scene. They had come to watch without any expectations, but who would have thought that their almost impossible expectations would become a foregone conclusion!
After a moment of calmness, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly exploded.
"Parasite … Parasite Queen!"
"The goddess is going to fight! I want to buy a ticket! I have to buy a ticket!"
"I have to buy a VIP seat!"
"Hahaha! What a lucky day! Maybe I can get a VIP seat too! "
"Too bad we can only buy one ticket each. We could buy a few more and sell them."
"Nonono, mortals, come here. Take these magic crystals and buy the tickets. Give them to me. I'll give you one silver coin each! "
When this match was announced, almost no one paid attention to the other matches. They all rushed into the hall of the Sky Tower just to buy a good seat. Some even planned to sell the tickets to the scalpers.
Even the two female apprentices, who were both shy and excited about Fox Master, stopped paying attention to his matches. They followed the crowd and rushed into the hall.
There were only a few apprentices who couldn't afford to buy tickets outside the train station.
They couldn't afford the tickets, but they knew all the seeded players on every level. Parasite Queen was no stranger to them.
However …
"Who's Baron Milk? Why is he fighting against Parasite Queen? "
"And … why didn't the Sky Tower advertise the champion's next match?"
"This matter is too strange."
A man wearing a white bear costume was the first to come out of the Sky Tower after buying a ticket. Hearing the confusion of the apprentices outside, he smiled and thought to himself, "Because the Sky Tower knows this match won't be as exciting as you think."
At this time, a man in a black robe appeared in the Sky Tower.
The man in the black robe stared at the top of the big screen. He saw the name that had been on his mind for a long time. Hidden under the robe, the corner of his lips curled up.
The man in the black robe whispered to himself as if he was talking to his lover, "My treasure … I can't wait to see you …"
After tomorrow's match list was released, some people were still paying attention to it. Almost all of them were interested in Baron Milk. To be precise, they were interested in the alchemist behind him.
Prome, who was experimenting in his own cave, also received the news. "Parasite Queen? Dave's little friend is so unlucky. We haven't confirmed the identity of that alchemist yet. I hope nothing bad happens to him. "
Prome considered. He was a friend of Parasite Queen, so he might as well go and watch the match tomorrow so that Parasite Queen would not play Angor to death.
David had also heard the news. He had even bought a ticket. However, after hearing about the match, his attention had completely shifted away from Angor.
…
Angor received a message from a worker around ten in the evening.
He had five matches tomorrow. Apart from the four matches he already knew, there was one extra.
Perhaps she was chosen by someone else after entering the pool.
"… Parasite Queen." Angor tried to recall the information about this contestant. Dave described her in many ways, but all of them could only be summed up in one sentence: beautiful, cool, and awesome. I'm going to kneel before the goddess!
There was nothing technical in the information. There was nothing Parasite Queen was good at. It was full of praises, but they were all meaningless praises.
Angor had no idea who Parasite Queen was. He would have to wait until tomorrow's match.
Next, he checked the schedule. Two matches in the morning, three in the afternoon.
It was worth mentioning that Angor's first match was against Fox Master.
