Angor pushed open the door to Sunders' study.
Sunders was sitting in front of the desk, fiddling with something.
Before Angor could express his surprise at how Sunders and Sunders looked like a pair of father and son outfits, he saw the thing in Sunders' hand. It was the alchemy weapon Sunders had been talking about.
It was a revolver with pure golden engravings.
The revolver was Angor's secret weapon. Apart from the Trigger Crossbow and Toby, it was the last safety measure he had for climbing the tower.
Not only was the revolver engraved with runes, but the six bullets in its magazine were also engraved with different runes. It was Angor's most deadly weapon.
Since Sunders had the revolver, where was the Trigger Crossbow? Angor walked to the desk and saw a Trigger Crossbow on the side.
"You're here?" Sunders did not look up. He kept playing with the revolver.
He did not know what else to say, so he mumbled, "I heard from Butler Goode that if you didn't save me, I'm afraid I would have … troubled you too much."
Sunders glanced at Angor. "I only helped you suppress Green Velvet. Someone else saved you. A worker in an alchemy shop."
A worker in an alchemy shop … Angor quickly realized that Sunders was talking about Davy. It seemed that his memory wasn't wrong. It was indeed Dave who took him away from the arena. He also vaguely remembered that Prome was also involved in the rescue.
Sunders suddenly picked up his revolver and asked, "You're right, Sir.
"The style of this alchemy weapon is very interesting. Which alchemy shop did you buy it from?"
Angor shook his head and blushed a little. "It's called a revolver. I made it myself."
Angor looked embarrassed, but inside, he felt proud. Last time at Sunders' mansion, he was waiting for Sunders to ask about the origin of the Trigger Crossbow so that he could show off. But Sunders did not ask in the end, which made him feel a little disappointed.
Sunders raised an eyebrow and asked in a doubtful tone, "You made this?"
"Yes." Angor wagged his tail a little.
Sunders looked at Angor from head to toe with a surprised expression. A moment later, he took out a piece of blood copper from his earring and tossed it to Angor.
"Smelt this Demon Falcon Bronze." Demon Falcon Bronze was a type of Blood Bronze, which was much better than the Earth Fiend Bronze Angor used.
It seemed Sunders was suspecting Angor's lie.
Angor was a little annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He took the Blood Falcon Bronze and used Thaw right in front of Sunders.
Most people used Thaw spell carefully in case of uneven mana input. But Angor had the help of the Axes of the Universe, so he was already familiar with the spell. Smelting the Demon Falcon Blood Copper was a piece of cake.
Sunders was surprised. He did not expect his young apprentice to be so talented in alchemy. This was a huge surprise! People with talent for alchemy were extremely rare talents in the Adept World! Sunders once spent dozens of years studying alchemy, but he did not achieve much in the end. It was a pity for someone as talented as Sunders.
Thaw was only a level-0 cantrip, but it was the threshold of alchemy. It was very difficult to control. Even for him, it was only until he became an official wizard that he could release mana in such a precise and stable manner. Angor had only been a wizard for half a year, and he already mastered Thaw perfectly. How could Sunders not be surprised?
Angor planned to stop when he was almost done with the Blood Copper. However, when he remembered Sunders' doubtful look, he decided to use Hand of Spell to shape the Blood Copper.
Sunders saw Angor's action and shook his head. What a young man.
How could he make an alchemy item out of Blood Copper without other materials?
Angor was not planning to make any alchemy item. He only wanted to "shock" Sunders a little. However, without proper tools, the process of shaping Hand of Spell was extremely slow.
Sunders saw that Angor was trying to shape the Blood Copper, so he handed Angor a utility knife.
He also wanted to see how far Angor could go.
Angor took the knife and worked even harder. He wanted to make a demon falcon decoration out of the Blood Copper. He was very familiar with the appearance of demon falcons during his days on the cloud whale. In a few seconds, a flying demon falcon statue was formed in Angor's hand.
When Angor was about to use Condense to make the final shape, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
He had been thinking about how to fuse Acoustic Illusion into his music box. He did not make any progress yet, but he knew a thing or two about how to incorporate an illusion into a fixed object.
The illusions constructed by basic illusions were actually just changing the nodes and injecting mana into them to create illusions. Angor was very familiar with basic illusions. He had set them up in a large space many times.
However, he hadn't tried to set up a basic illusion in a small space, but the principle was similar. It was to shrink the illusion into a small space according to the equivalence of the distance.
The demon falcon statue was about to take shape. To use a basic illusion on a demon falcon statue, he had to shrink the nodes according to the distance.
Angor used to set up illusions in large spaces. This was his first time trying to create a microscopic illusion in a small statue.
However, he was not afraid of failure. Sunders only asked him to melt the demon falcon bronze, and he already did it. As for the rest, he just had to do it!
With such a fearless aura, Angor was not afraid at all!
Shrinking a basic illusion spell into a small statue required meticulous attention and patience, which Angor had no lack of. He analyzed the coordinates of the nodes and steadily injected mana … One by one, Angor took down the nodes.
Sunders had been watching Angor closely. When he saw Angor injecting mana into the statue instead of using Condense, he was surprised at first. Then he grinned.
As one of the strongest Illusionists in the southern wizarding region, Sunders knew what Angor was doing. Most Illusionist wizards would spend most of their time setting up illusions in the macroscopic world instead of focusing on the microscopic world. However, Sunders knew that setting up illusions in the microscopic world was as difficult as setting up one in the macroscopic world. In fact, it might even be more difficult.
Sunders planned to teach Angor about microscopic illusions when he became a level-2 apprentice. He did not expect Angor to figure it out on his own.
"As expected of my student!" Sunders praised in his mind.
It was Angor's first time setting up an illusion in the microscopic world. However, he did not tell Sunders how difficult it would be. He only wanted to make the demon falcon statue look a little strange, so he chose the nodes that were relatively easy to set up.
About 15 minutes later, Angor broke the last node.
Angor's eyes lit up. He quickly used Condense to freeze the statue. This was the last and most important step.
Once the spell was done, Angor checked the statue. There was no crack on it, and he could feel some faint mana ripples. He felt a little excited.
This meant the statue was done!
…
Angor looked up at Sunders after finishing the statue.
Sunders was sitting in front of his desk with his fingers crossed and a smile on his face. He seemed to be praising Angor.
Angor sighed in relief and placed the demon falcon statue on Sunders' desk.
It was a flying demon falcon.
The sculpting skill of the demon falcon statue was mediocre at best. However, since he was quite familiar with the demon falcons, he recalled the demon falcons' expressions while carving them, and the final product looked pretty good. Especially the expression in its eyes.
Sunders flicked his finger and sent a tiny ball of mana into the statue.
When the mana entered the statue, the demon falcon came to life. A faint shadow of the demon falcon detached from the statue and spread its giant wings. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
The shadow only existed for a few seconds before it slowly faded away.
If one were to look at it solely based on the three standards of basic illusions, this illusion was illogical, not confusing, and not realistic at all. It was a complete failure.
However, if it was used as a decoration, it would be a pretty good decoration.
At least, that was what Angor thought.
"Nice work. There are some flaws, but I'm glad you can apply what you've learned and discover the application of illusions in the microscopic world on your own." Sunders was very happy. Angor was able to achieve a balance in both his alchemy and illusion talents. His mind was ingenious and ingenious.
Sunders usually did not show his happiness on his face, but today, he was really happy.
"You're talented in alchemy as well. Unfortunately, my alchemy skills are mediocre, so I can't teach you much." Sunders handed the Trigger Crossbow and the revolver to Angor. "These two clever alchemy weapons are enough to prove your creativity. Maybe one day, Brute Cavern will have a real master alchemist. "
Angor felt a little embarrassed by Sunders' teasing. The Trigger Crossbow and the revolver were all made from the 3D prints Jon left in the hologram tablet. Angor did not add much creativity into them himself.
Angor did not feel proud of Sunders' compliment. Instead, he felt a little guilty.
…
Sunders returned the alchemy weapons to Angor and continued to give his comments on Angor's illusions.
When they were almost done, Sunders finally got down to business.
"Two days ago, I sensed the presence of the Nightmare Realm."
"The presence of the Nightmare Realm?" Angor was surprised.
Sunders nodded. "That's right. The nightmare aura was weak, and it came from you. That's why I came to the underground market and brought you back to Phantom Island in time. Otherwise, you would have been devoured by the Green Velvet spores in your body. "
"Green Velvet spores?" Angor thought about the green pollen he saw when Parasite Queen invaded his body.
"Yes. I saw your match against Parasite Queen the other day. But I still have some questions. Tell me, what happened when you and Parasite Queen were fighting? "said Ye Chen. Why did you trigger the presence of the Nightmare Realm? "
