Angor found Rein inside the Church of Brilliance.
When he saw His Excellency Rhine, he was quietly staring at the colorful paper window in front of the church. There was nothing unusual about the window, but his eyes did not move at all, as if he was looking at another scene through the window that was slightly exposed by the sunlight.
When Rein heard Angor's footsteps, he lowered his head and slowly came back to his senses.
"Mister Rein." Angor walked to Rein's side.
Rhine turned around. His expression was no longer as solemn as when he was staring at the colored window. He revealed a smile and said, "You're here. Tree Spirit told me that Sunders is here as well. How's he doing? "
Although Rein looked relaxed, Angor could see that the old man's eyes were still filled with emotions behind his calm expression.
Angor glanced at an open book on Rein's desk. It was Cuolo's Chronicles, Volume 14, which Angor created using an illusion spell. Maybe Rein's strange mood was caused by the news about Aldrich?
But why would Rein be so emotional over Aldrich's news?
Angor didn't know much about the relationship between Aldrich and Rein, so he decided to play along. "My professor is doing well. He just left the market."
"Did you see Sumesh and Flora?" Rein asked.
Angor shook his head. "Not yet. Should be soon."
Angor paused for a moment before he continued, "My professor came here because he received a piece of news from the market and told me about it."
Angor told Rein about what Sunders told him. Rein frowned. "The Germinal worshippers from other worlds showed up again? They just won't go away. "
Rein considered. "Sunders is right. Since Dodoro saw them in Brute Cavern during the Stargazing Day, they'll come looking for you. Since they're already here, the prophecy won't be too far away. You need to stay alert. "
Angor nodded.
Rhine pondered for a moment. "I'll borrow your mini signal tower later to talk to Lawson. I'll ask him about the current situation and come up with a plan. "
"Don't worry about it. Since we have already received the news in advance, we will definitely not let the Germinal Organization members return peacefully. Even if they want to sneak in during the tea party, it's impossible with Tree Spirit around. "
At this point, Rhine added, "However, your mentor is right to ask you to strengthen your defense just in case. I already have an idea on the parasite that carries the Distorted Seed. I will send it to you in two days. "
Rhine paused for a moment, then said in a rather mysterious tone, "This parasite is very unusual. If the Distorted Seed can really parasitize it, then you've struck gold … "
Since Rein spoke so highly of the parasite, Angor was curious to know what it was. However, Rhine smiled mysteriously and kept them in suspense. He didn't elaborate and only said that they would know after he brought them here.
Next, he told Angor about his plan to leave Brute Cavern and explore the sea.
Rhine didn't try to stop Angor from doing so.
Angor could use the dream wasteland to contact him at any time, and he also had a teleportation array disk, which allowed him to teleport back to Brute Cavern whenever he wanted. Besides, the Germinal Organization believers had already shown up. Leaving them for a while was a good choice.
Rhine's only regret was, "I was going to take you to test whether the disk can teleport across planes. But I guess I'll have to wait until next time, or you can try it yourself."
"I'll do it when I have the chance."
"Oh, right. Don't forget to craft the login device before you leave. Also, if you need any materials, don't forget to ask Tree Spirit. "
Rhine told Angor several things to take note of and told him to leave.
After Angor left, Rhine's relaxed expression was no longer there. After a long moment of silence, he looked at the "Cuolo's Chronicles" on the long table in front of him.
"Aldrich, a nature researcher from Greenward Spell Research Institute, is said to be from Brute Cavern. Also, a new legendary wizard, Yuli the Witch, is from Brute Cavern. "
Rhine's attention was on the name.
But contrary to Angor's expectations, Rhine wasn't looking at Aldrich. Instead, it was …
"Yuli the Witch" Marisa.
Rhine stared at the name for a long time before he sighed deeply and closed the book.
…
When Angor returned to reality from the dream wasteland, he was still thinking about what he saw with God's Eye.
Angor left the Church of Brilliance, but he was curious about why Rhine was sitting alone in the church with a serious expression, so he used God's Eye to check what was going on.
He saw Rhine staring at Marisa's name for a long time without saying anything.
"Is there something going on between Mister Rhine and Marisa?" Angor muttered to himself.
"Huh?!" Someone gasped. "What?! Rhine and Marisa?! "
Tree Spirit had returned from the dream wasteland and was now sitting in front of him with Cuolo's Chronicles in his hand. Tree Spirit was looking at Angor with a shocked expression.
"What did you just say? Rhine and Marisa have something going on? Is that true? Where did you hear that? "Tree Spirit put down the book and stared at Angor in disbelief.
Angor sighed in his mind. He didn't expect Tree Spirit to be here.
Angor didn't want Tree Spirit to spread the rumor, so he quickly explained, "No, I just saw some images and I'm a bit confused."
"What images?"
Angor hesitated for a moment before he told Tree Spirit what he saw with God's Eye. But to avoid being called a voyeur, Angor changed his explanation. "When I went to see Mister Rhine, I saw him looking at Yuli's name with a serious expression. That's why I'm a bit confused."
Tree Spirit was enlightened. He picked up the book again and waved a hand. "And here I thought you heard some big secret. So that's what you're talking about. Rhine isn't looking at Marisa's name because they have something going on."
"Then why is that?"
Tree Spirit raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so nosy today?"
Angor blushed a little. "I'm just curious. Also, Mister Rhine looked a bit serious … "
Hearing this, Tree Spirit hesitated for a moment and said, "It's actually not a secret. I have a rough idea of Rhine's thoughts. I can tell you."
"Two thousand years ago, Marisa reached the peak of level-3, but she couldn't find a way to break through. In order to become a legend, she chose to leave the southern wizardry region in search of the path of truth. Since then, no one heard from her.
"So far, many people believe that Marisa is dead."
"I think Rhine had the same idea. After all, becoming a legend isn't an easy thing to do. Besides, many wizards chose to leave the southern wizardry region when they couldn't find a way forward, such as the one from Dark Castle. But in the end, none of those who left the Southern Region to pursue the Legendary-level opportunity truly broke through to the Legendary-level. "
"Not a single one?" Angor was surprised by the number.
"Yes. To become a truth-finder, you have to choose your own path, so it's not too dangerous. But to become a legend, you have to use a law to create your own domain. It's a very difficult process, and many people have fallen in the process. Even the most talented geniuses of their generation might die in this process. "Tree Spirit shook his head." That's why some people chose to go astray. "
Angor knew that Tree Spirit was referring to Meng Qi, who wanted to use the body of the last descendant of a demon to become a legend.
"Becoming a legend is so difficult, and none of the people who left failed to do so. Top wizards like Rhine, Meng Qi, and Flunza all felt that they couldn't find a way forward.
"But now, the example of Marisa appeared."
"Like them, Marisa used to be in a difficult situation. But now, she took this step and succeeded.
"It's an isolated case, but it's enough to influence people's minds … and even their choices." Tree Spirit sighed. "I think Rhine is feeling very complicated right now. Maybe he will choose this path in the future, just like Marisa."
After listening to Tree Spirit's explanation, Angor finally understood why Rein was so quiet.
Just when they thought they couldn't find a way forward, someone did it. And it was a wizard from Brute Cavern. Of course, Rhine's mood would be affected. After all, he had also reached this point.
Tree Spirit shook his head. "Let's not talk about him. I'll keep reading."
Angor quickly stopped him. He still needed Tree Spirit's help, such as providing Mushroom Witch with more mushrooms for her research. Tree Spirit was probably the only one who could do that.
Angor told Tree Spirit about his plan and his departure.
Tree Spirit's reaction was the same as Rhine's. He nodded nonchalantly and said, "Alright, just take care of yourself. Give me the mushrooms later, and I'll give them to Regina. Remember to put a few more nightmare stones. Don't blame me if they wilt.
"As for the materials for the login device and the book about soul tricks, I'll bring them to you later."
After saying that, Tree Spirit closed his eyes and contacted his original body in the mirror world, letting his original body handle these trivial matters.
Angor spent the next half of the day reading and copying books.
When night fell, Angor collected the materials and began to craft the login device. Since Regina was in charge of his lab, he activated his forcefield and went to the hidden room.
There was an experiment bench here. It wasn't big, but he didn't need to use too many details to craft the login device.
Inside the hidden room, Angor didn't feel any fear despite the constant presence of the Light of Nightmare. On the contrary, the dangerous power of the light that could threaten legendary wizards gave him a sense of security.
Angor stared at the Light of Nightmare for a while. Just as Cuolo asked, "You're interested in the Light of Nightmare as well, right?"
Of course, the answer was yes.
Besides, Angor had more experience than Cuolo. He saw how Light of Nightmare was used in Boiling Gentleman's lab.
Therefore, his desire to study the Light of Nightmare was even stronger than before.
However, he could only rely on his forcefield to protect himself from the Light of Nightmare. If he really wanted to study the Light of Nightmare, he had to find a way to safely touch it.
If he could meet Boiling Gentleman again in the future, he might be able to ask him about how to deal with the Light of Nightmare.
But he didn't think he could do that for now.
