To show his sincerity, he removed his disguise and showed his face when introducing himself.
Bright blond hair and clear blue eyes. Even without looking at the faint wrinkles on his skin, Angor could feel the strong spirit of a young man. He was completely different from the red-haired young man.
Angor and Angor looked about the same age, but the lethargy was replaced by vigor like the rising sun, full of vigor.
They didn't even need to use a spell to tell that he was still young.
Angor looked around and finally stopped at Olao. He began to introduce himself.
It was Adanis who introduced herself, and Augustine was the one in charge, but Angor still chose to look at Olao. It wasn't hard to guess the reason. Olao was the only one who would follow Angor in the future. Whether Olao was willing to follow Angor or not, Angor still needed to show his respect.
It was a form of respect. Since he wanted Olao to follow him and help him with his research, Angor decided to lower his pride and tell Olao about his background, as well as the skills he knew.
Angor emphasized on the "skills" part, especially the "skills" part.
In the past, he always used "Brute Cavern, Angor", or he would expand on it. For example, his title, professor, department, and so on.
But this time, Angor also mentioned his other identity. "Alchemist, member of the R&D Department."
Olao's eyes widened when he heard this. He clearly knew how important the R&D Department was.
After making sure Olao knew something about the department, Angor went on to explain how he became a member of the department.
Angor told Olao everything, from how he accidentally encountered a Mystery item in Dark Castle to what happened in Floating Mech City.
Even Count Black and Dorcas, who were always well-informed, didn't know about most of the details.
Angor looked calm on the surface, but he still felt a little awkward inside. It sounded like he was bragging, which didn't fit his personality at all.
However, in order to let Olao know that he could and was willing to create a Mystery item, he had to tell Olao all the details.
To put it bluntly, he was telling Olaf that it was not a loss to follow him.
Of course, he wasn't going to force Olao to stay. If Olao really didn't want to follow him, or if he had a better choice, he would let him go.
This was a process of mutual choice, but they also needed to leave a path of retreat for each other.
As he said at the end, "Due to my age and lack of experience, I don't have much experience. That's most of my life. I've told you everything I can. Most of the things I didn't tell you are unnecessary. As for the things that can't be said, there are also some. However, most of them have nothing to do with today's matters, so let's not talk about them for now. "
Olao, on the other hand, fell into deep thought while the others were still in a daze.
Olao didn't expect Angor to introduce himself in such a serious manner. Since Angor was being serious, Olao had to give an official response as well, which was outside of Augustine's orders.
Therefore, Olaf needed to meditate and confirm his true thoughts.
When everyone came back to their senses and saw Olao's contemplative expression, they all fell silent. They gave Olao plenty of time to think.
Although they didn't say anything to interrupt Olao, they were still giving him meaningful glances.
For example, Adanis, who was doubting Angor's identity, was looking at him with an interesting expression. Originally, Adanis wanted to use this opportunity to criticize Angor so that Augustine and Olao would change their minds. However, she didn't expect Angor's introduction to be so … accurate.
The whole introduction was echoing Augustine's "vision".
Olao wanted to see his elder brother Adegu very much. However, he didn't want to see Adegu in such a miserable state. He also didn't want to lose to Adegu.
Olao was hoping that Augustine could "polish" him, but Augustine made it clear that he would only become Adegu's second, not Olao's first.
Olao was still in a daze, but Angor's words gave him some hope.
From what Adanis knew about Olao, she was sure that Olao wouldn't refuse Angor's offer.
There were many questions about Angor, but he never explained them. For example, the origin of alchemy, how did he achieve the balance between alchemy and strength at such a young age, and why did the Glutton Flower respect him so much …
However, these questions only added to Angor's mystery. They wouldn't affect Olao's judgment.
Besides, what if these were Angor's destiny? Wizards usually had their own destinies. It was normal that Angor didn't want to talk about them.
Besides, Angor already said that "what I can't talk about has nothing to do with today's matters". It would be pointless to keep asking.
As far as Adanis was concerned, Angor's self-introduction had been building a solid wall of defense ever since he faced Olao. It would be difficult for Adanis to find an opening to attack.
That was why Adanis's expression was so complicated and "interesting". She felt that she got caught in her own trap. Not only did she fail to stop Angor, but she also became his helper. She blamed herself for it.
Apart from Adanis, Augustine's expression was also worth paying attention to.
Augustine already said that he didn't care about Angor's background. But after Angor finished his self-introduction, Augustine still nodded repeatedly.
Angor's style contained the spirit of a young man, as well as a kind of "etiquette" that was hard to describe.
This "etiquette" contained openness, freedom, tolerance, respect, self-control … and more.
Many of them looked contradictory, but they all fit together perfectly. Nothing seemed out of place.
It sounded like nothing, but it was actually a kind of cultivation that needed a place to cultivate and grow. In fact, there were very, very few places in the general plane where such a gift could grow and blossom.
This kind of bearing was more like that of an old man who had accumulated years of understanding what was right and what was wrong.
But Angor's youthful spirit was so vigorous that it should be contradictory, but it was actually very harmonious. That was why Angor looked so special.
Augustine wasn't interested in Angor's ability. He already knew about it, so he didn't really care about Angor's introduction. He was more interested in Angor's way of doing things. To put it bluntly, it was Angor's view of the bigger picture, values, and perceptions.
Apart from his lack of experience, Angor's values and perceptions had already surpassed Augustine's expectations.
As for Augustine, the more he looked at Angor, the more satisfied he became.
He was already looking forward to the day when Olaos and Adegu would truly become the "Twin Mirrors" that would illuminate the endless void and illuminate the future.
On the other side, Kael and the others were also looking at Angor.
However, Kael and Wai only looked at Angor with admiration. They knew some general information about Angor, but this was the first time they heard such detailed information from Angor himself.
Angor learned about Mysteries as an apprentice, dared to confront the cruel Isabella, and even brought the genius witch from Dark Castle back to the source of the southern wizardry region.
Such feats were unimaginable to apprentices like them. Angor was a role model for all apprentices.
Wai was Angor's biggest fan, so he was looking at Angor with even more interest now. Kael, on the other hand, was slowly becoming like Wai.
Dorcas, on the other hand, was looking at Angor in a different way.
Before this, Dorcas felt that Angor tricked him into joining Angor's pirate ship. But now, he realized that even someone as important as Augustine was trying to send Olao to Angor, which made him feel better.
Angor was the one who invited him!
But Olaos was forced to join Angor!
So I'm more important than him!
Dorcas didn't consider that Angor was trying to recruit him, but it was because Dorcas couldn't pay back his debt, so he had to sell his body to pay it off. Olao, on the other hand, was forced by Augustine at first, but Angor was the one who took the initiative to help. Therefore, Dorcas was still less important to Angor than Olao.
Of course, Angor wouldn't tell Dorcas about this. He would just let Dorcas stay in his own world and hope everything would be fine.
As for the Black Earl … What could he tell from his two nostrils? Still, Angor could tell that the Black Earl was in a complicated mood.
Angor could guess the reason.
The legacy site, or rather, the Chamber of Poetry, was the ancestral home of the Noah Clan. Even if they couldn't return as "masters", Black Earl believed that they should at least be valued.
However, the reality was completely different from what he expected. He wasn't surprised that Adanis was targeting them, and he wasn't surprised that Olao was interested in Angor. However, even their ancestor, Augustine, only had his eyes on Angor, which made the Dark Earl feel a little conflicted.
He felt both disappointed and helpless.
Still, the Black Earl didn't think too much about it. At least he was sure of one thing: his future was not in the Demon Abyss, but in the origin world.
Augustine had also clearly said that only by going to the source world and finding another Noah tribe could the Black Earl's potential be maximized.
This was a big piece of news for the Black Earl.
Knowing the future was what wizards who stood at the top of the southern wizarding region wanted the most.
Take Monkey for example. He didn't know what was going on, so he went around aimlessly and got nothing in the end. Instead, he suffered a great loss.
Now that the Black Earl knew what was going on, he had a chance to become a legendary wizard.
However, the biggest problem for the Black Earl now was … how to get to the origin world?
Traveling through the void would take a lot of time. Just thinking about it made him break out in cold sweat, not to mention actually going there. It would take him at least several hundred years to get there.
Wasting a hundred years wasn't worth it in the Black Earl's opinion. Therefore, if possible, he hoped to use this opportunity to ask Augustine if there was a shortcut to the Origin World.
But that would have to wait until after Augustine and Angor finished their conversation.
…
Everyone's eyes darted back and forth between themselves, which made the silence even more intense.
Two minutes later, Olao broke the silence. This meant that Olao was done with his contemplation. Perhaps he already had an answer in mind.
"Being valued by Master already shows how capable the Hymn Reader is. As for the Hymn Reader's experience, even if we only see a small part of it, we can see the great potential behind it. And all of this is obvious to everyone. I believe that even Adanis must have the same thoughts as me. "
Olao glanced at Adanis, who looked away and didn't say anything. Olao knew Adanis well enough to know that she didn't say anything.
"So, I won't waste time with compliments. I'll just tell you what I think. "
Olao put on a serious expression, just like when Angor introduced himself to him.
"Compared to the uncertain future the Hymn Reader described, I still hope to follow Master." Olao looked at the alchemy puppet. "If Master is willing."
"I can't take you away, and you can't find me," the puppet said in a plain tone. "My current location is very far away from here, and from the origin world."
The puppet didn't give a clear "yes or no" answer, but it was clear that it couldn't take Olao with him.
Olao lowered his head in disappointment. He already knew what Angor was going to say, but he didn't want to give up after waiting for ten thousand years.
The alchemy puppet had a heart of stone, but Augustine, who was attached to it, had feelings. Seeing Olao's downcast appearance, Augustine also felt somewhat guilty and uncomfortable.
Ten thousand years … was too long.
Although Olao always said that Adanis had an obsession, wasn't he also obsessed with it?
Augustine pondered for a moment and said, "I can tell you that the place I am going to is a place I have no choice but to go to. That is the starting point of the path of truth that I am pursuing, a corner that not even the light of miracles can illuminate."
"That place is very dangerous, but also full of opportunities.
"I'm going alone, I didn't tell any of my friends, I even hid it from my beloved Margaret.
"The only one who knows where I'm going is your elder brother Adaigu. I didn't tell Adaigu of my own accord, but Adaigu has my aura and can determine my location. "As for Adaigu, I left him in the origin world.
"If I don't find the starting point of my pursuit of truth, I might not return for a thousand years, or even ten thousand years."
After saying that, Olao raised his head and looked at the alchemy puppet. "So, is this the reason Master gave me to the Hymn Reader?"
The alchemy puppet shook its head. "Not entirely. Do you still remember my vision? "
Olao nodded. Augustine hoped that Adaigu and Olao would stand at the peak and be known as the "Twin" Mirror.
"In the pursuit of the truth, I might get lost there, or even lose myself completely there. At that time, the only ones who can wake me up and save me might be you and Adaigu.
"And all of this is based on the realization of my vision."
But now, the Hymn Reader is the only one who can fulfill my vision. "
This was why Augustine wanted Olao to follow him, not only for Olao's sake, but also for his own sake.
Only when Adegu and Oleo truly became the Twin Mirror would there be a way to wake him up from his trance across a great distance.
All of this was part of Augustine's preparation for his future.
Olao was also stunned. He didn't expect there to be such a reason behind this …
"If that's the case, I'm willing to follow Mister Hymn Reader."
"I didn't want to tell you the reason because I don't want you to follow the Hymn Reader. In my opinion, the Hymn Reader isn't your stepping stone. I want him to be your final destination." The alchemy puppet looked at Olao. "The Hymn Reader once said that if you find a better choice, he won't force you to stay.
"If you keep the reason I've told you and follow the chanter, you'll be fine. Then I can only hope that you find a better choice as soon as possible. "
Augustine meant that if Olao chose to follow the Hymn Reader because of him, Olao shouldn't bring trouble to Angor.
"A better choice" also meant that Olao couldn't find a better choice than Angor.
Maybe Augustine meant it sincerely, or maybe it was part of his plan. He wanted to "beat Olao up for Angor" while praising Angor's uniqueness so that Angor wouldn't mistreat Olao.
Either way, Angor's heart never wavered.
No matter what reason Olao had for following him, he would treat Olao seriously. Olao's secret could very well be his dream, which was to send Jon home.
But if Olao really wanted to follow Angor, Angor would return the favor. If Olao only wanted to save Augustine in the future, Angor wouldn't mind. He would just treat Olao as a tool.
Just like Dorcas, Angor only saw Dorcas as a tool for now.
What would the future hold? Only the future would tell.
