After saying that, the puppet stood up, its gem-like eyes emitting a faint golden light, like a blob of golden ink.
And that blob of golden ink was like a living creature that kept spreading.
As it spread, countless runes of the contract could be seen flickering within it.
At the same time, runes of the contract also spread out from Olao's body. When these runes appeared, they were somewhat sluggish and carried a heavy aura of lethargy. But when these runes sensed the spreading golden ink in the air, they seemed to have been enlightened and suddenly quivered. The lethargy transformed into small wings that flew towards the golden ink with the contract runes and fused with it.
This "fusion" was actually dispelling the contract shackles on Olao's body.
On the other side, some runes also spread out from Adanis' body, but they were a lot fewer than Olao's. Moreover, most of these runes had cracks on them. Even if they didn't fuse with the golden ink, it wouldn't take long for them to dissipate.
But even so, the puppet still separated a part of the golden ink, preparing to fuse with the runes on Adanis' body.
But Adanis coldly snorted and put the runes back into her body … She refused the golden ink.
Olao was currently removing the contract shackles and didn't see this scene. But the puppet looked over with a questioning gaze.
Adanis indifferently said, "More than half of my contract has been erased by time. The rest can be removed by myself, you don't need to spend money."
Hearing Adanis' words, the puppet didn't react, but the others guessed that Adanis wasn't willing to accept the puppet's golden ink because she didn't want to owe Augustine a favor?
After all, Adanis had shown her dissatisfaction with Augustine from the start.
But in everyone's eyes, this was a bit too foolish.
Because this wasn't a matter of owing him a favor, but rather, it was Augustine making it up to them. The Clear Sky Poetry Room's contract had been set up by Augustine, so it was only natural for him to remove the contract. Moreover, he was ten thousand years too late. Not only did they not owe him a favor, but Augustine even owed them an explanation.
Therefore, everyone felt that Adanis's actions were a little petty and not very wise.
Earl Black was even prepared to dissuade Adanis. After all, Adanis had clearly stated that she would follow the Noah Tribe in the future. Even if it was for the good of his tribe, he still hoped that Adanis would quickly terminate the contract.
Even if he could solve it with his own strength, he would still need a certain amount of time. Augustine, on the other hand, could break the contract immediately. Why would he waste time fighting?
However, before the Dark Earl could speak, Adanis said to the alchemy puppet calmly, "I terminated the contract on my own accord, not because I have an opinion about you. As for your opinion, I will personally look for you in the future and get it back from you. "
"So, don't waste it on me. Save that bit of energy for now. At least it will allow you to last a little longer in this world. You haven't explained everything that you need to explain. Moreover, I think that the descendant of the Noah Clan wants to talk to you. Don't tell me you're unwilling to face this descendant? "
Hearing Adanis' words, the Dark Earl was startled.
He originally thought that Adanis was just being petty. He didn't expect that the reason Adanis rejected the gold ink was to let Augustine's consciousness stay a little longer.
And all of this was to give Augustine time to face the descendant of the Noah Clan, which was the Dark Earl himself!
After Adanis finished speaking, she sat down and closed her eyes, not saying another word.
Augustine looked at the Dark Earl and said, "Since this is Adanis' request, I can give you some time to ask your questions."
Although he said to give the Dark Earl time, it wasn't now because Augustine was still dealing with Olao's contract.
…
The ball of gold ink in the air was constantly absorbing the contract runes flying out of Olao's body.
As the contract runes were absorbed by the ball of gold ink, the total number of runes on both the ball of gold ink and Olao's body gradually decreased.
When the last bit of runes on Olao's body was absorbed by the ball of gold ink, Olao's entire body began to emit a faint light.
Bathed in the light, Olao's appearance began to change.
His already tall body began to grow again. The hair that was covered by the hat was also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a short time, it had surpassed the length of Adanis' hair.
The biggest change was Olao's skin. His originally sickly pale skin first became transparent. Then, a large amount of silver light burst out from within the transparent body, and the transparent skin was replaced by a bright silver color.
The bright silver color was very similar to the color of the mirror.
At this moment, Olao was like a human-shaped self-propelled mirror.
After evolving into a self-propelled mirror, Olao's body seemed to be unable to withstand the sudden surge of energy. He suddenly turned into a ray of white light and was sucked into the bronze mirror on the table.
After Olao disappeared, Augustine slowly withdrew the ball of gold ink in front of him.
After the gold ink entered the body, the stiff alchemy puppet adapted for a moment and regained its previous vitality. However, Angor could clearly sense that the puppet's aura was weaker than before.
"You can put the mirror away now. Olao has been bound by the contract for too long. Now that he's reborn, he needs some time to get used to his new body. Once he gets used to his new body, he'll grow much stronger in the future."
Angor nodded and picked up the mirror. As he was about to put it back into his bracelet, he suddenly thought of a question. "Does this mirror have a name?"
"A formal name. You can give it to yourself in the future. Any formal name for it now is just a joke. "
In Augustine's eyes, the copper mirror was only an embryo, and it was clearly inappropriate to give it a formal name just because it was an embryo.
For example, if one named the mirror "Frostmourne" now, and the future direction of the mirror would be "Happy Flame" instead, it would be a joke.
Therefore, Olao was the current name of the mirror. As for the formal name, he would decide when the embryo matured.
Angor nodded and put away the mirror without saying anything else.
At this moment, the alchemy puppet turned to look at the Dark Earl.
As a matter of fact, Black Earl's branch of Noah's descendants was the real main branch. As for the Noah Bloodline in the Source World, it was actually the bloodline left behind by a Noah Traveler that Margaret had discovered in the Source World. This bloodline was not very pure. In the beginning, even the basic Noah's power was extremely weak.
For the sake of their friendship, Margaret took the impure Noah's descendant as her apprentice.
As the apprentice grew, a Noah branch was slowly formed.
As an alchemist, Margaret constantly used magic arrays to purify the apprentice's bloodline. Now, the impure bloodline became purer, and it even had the potential to become stronger.
Seeing this, Augustine left some of Noah's origin power in the Noah branch in the Origin World.
With the addition of the origin power, the Noah branch in the Origin World was finally recognized and became stronger. In the Sorcerer's World where strength was king, they had turned over a new leaf. They had transformed from the Noah Tribe to the current Noah Tribe.
The main branch of Noah's bloodline, on the other hand, declined because of the great damage done to Nether City and the weakening of the southern region.
The fact that Black Earl managed to reach the top of level-3 under such circumstances was already very impressive.
Even among the Noah branch in the Origin World, Black Earl was considered a middle-level wizard.
Moreover, Augustine could see that the Black Earl had great potential, and he had taken an extremely tricky path. It wasn't that no one had taken this path before. However, all of them had too many avatars and independent consciousnesses, which led to all kinds of hidden dangers.
Now, it seemed that Black Earl was doing a good job of controlling these dangers.
Once Black Earl went to the Noah branch in the Origin World and bathed in the origin power, he would have a chance to become a legendary wizard. By then, Black Earl would be able to find his own path without relying on the Noah branch in the Origin World.
Apart from Angor, Augustine had the most confidence in Black Count.
This was why Augustine didn't say anything when Adanis chose Black Earl. Even though Augustine didn't think highly of Adanis, she was much more important to Margret than Olao. After all, Margret also participated in the creation of Adanis, unlike Olao, who was made by Augustine alone.
Therefore, Augustine didn't treat Adanis well all along the way. In fact, he valued Adanis just as much as Olao.
Acquiescing to Adanis's choice meant that he trusted and valued Black Earl.
But … that was all.
Augustine wasn't someone who cared about his own family. He was always dissatisfied with Margret's decision to help the Noah branch in the Origin World. He always felt that the Noah branch in the Origin World took up too much of his time with Margret.
Although the Noah branch in the Origin World was under Augustine's name, Augustine didn't really like it.
He didn't mind using the branch as a living sign, but he didn't want to protect it personally.
Unless the Noah branch in the Origin World gave birth to a new star like Angor. Otherwise, there was no need to talk about it.
Augustine didn't even care about the Noah branch in the Origin World, let alone the Noah branch in the southern wizardry region. Therefore, he didn't plan to talk to Black Earl. However, now that Adanis had allowed him to converse with the Black Earl at the cost of not consuming any energy, Augustine was not against it.
He didn't care about the Noah branch, but compared to outsiders, he still felt closer to Noah's descendants.
"What do you want to say?" The alchemy puppet looked at Black Earl and asked in a plain tone.
Black Earl: "Mister Augustine, a Prophet once said that my future is in the Abyss of Evil Gods. Do you agree?"
The alchemy puppet: "There is no such thing as a definite future. It doesn't matter whether I agree or not. However, I can be sure that if you want a better future, you can go to the Origin World and find another branch of the Noah branch. As for the Abyss of Evil Gods … "
The alchemy puppet chuckled but didn't comment further. Instead, it said, "If you think your future is there, you can go to the Origin World and take a look there. Don't always think that you have to choose one of the two choices, or one more. The Time Thief's influence doesn't spread across the wizardry world yet. Do you want to follow the Time Thief's path and become his disciple? "
"As long as you don't have to make a choice right away, you can look at it one by one. There will always be a correct answer. Sometimes, the wrong choice isn't an absolute mistake. Maybe it will give you a different way of thinking. "
The alchemy puppet's words were meant for Black Earl, but it was also beneficial for everyone else.
Black Earl: "Mister, you told me to go to the Origin World. But the teleportation between the southern wizardry region and the Origin World has been cut off. It will take too long to get there. I hope you can show me the way. "
The alchemy puppet: "You're asking such a trivial thing? Don't tell me you're going to ask me where the Noah Clan is in the Origin World and how to get there after asking this question? "
Black Earl: "…" He really did have such thoughts. The Origin World was bigger than the four Wizardry Worlds combined. It also had a shocking number of subsidiary worlds. These subsidiary worlds were comparable to the four Wizardry Worlds. It could be seen how huge the Origin World was.
In such a huge world, it wouldn't be easy for Black Earl to find the stronghold of a Wizardry Clan. Unless, the Noah Clan was famous in the Origin World … But the Origin World was full of talents. Black Earl doubted that the Noah Clan was so famous in the Origin World that he didn't need to look for them. He just needed to ask for directions and he would be able to find them.
However, since the alchemy puppet had complained in advance, Black Earl was too embarrassed to ask for the Noah Clan's exact location.
But the question of how to get to the Origin World was something Black Earl had to ask.
The alchemy puppet: "It's such a short distance. You can fly there. Even if you're weak, it's not a big deal to waste some time."
It might not be a big problem for Augustine, but for Black Earl, he didn't want to waste hundreds of years in the void. Moreover, the void wasn't absolutely safe. When the void was peaceful, it was really peaceful. But once there was a problem, it would definitely be a big problem.
Hence, this question still had to be asked.
The alchemy puppet saw that Black Earl was still stubbornly pointing his nose at it and had no intention of retracting the question. It then said reluctantly: "With your current situation, there are four ways to get to the Origin World."
"First, fly there. Although it's a bit of a waste of time, there are many wonders in the void that are worth admiring. Flying there while admiring them won't waste much time. "
Black Earl: "…" Forget admiring the wonders in the void, the best choice would be to run away as soon as they saw it.
"Second, every Phase Plane in the Abyss World has a certain number of Phase Gates. The Southern Region Wizard World corresponds to the Barren Plane. Perhaps it has the least number of Phase Gates, but there are still at least ten Phase Gates. Through the Phase Gates, you can go to other Phase Planes. Through other Phase Planes, you can reach the other three Wizard Worlds other than the Southern Region. Then, you can teleport to the Origin World. "
Black Earl: "I know about the Phase Gates, but the Phase Gates in the Barren Plane are all controlled by the Abyssal Demon Gods …"
The alchemy puppet thought for a moment: "Is that so? Why do I remember that the first Phase Gate created by the Abyss Demon Eye was in the Barren Plane? Moreover, this Phase Gate was given to the abyssal natives. "
Black Earl revealed a puzzled expression … There was such a thing? The abyssal natives and humans had a better relationship than demons. If the abyssal natives really had a Phase Gate, then they could consider using it. But, did they really have one? The Moonfrost Union was still the leader of the Abyss World. If Mister Monkey knew about the existence of a Phase Gate, he might not have risked his life to challenge the descendant of a Demon God.
While Black Earl and the alchemy puppet were still wondering, Angor slowly lowered his head and teased Dankros as if nothing had happened. In fact, he was just trying to hide his anxiety.
According to Augustine, the first Phase Gate created by the Abyss Demon Eye was given to the king of the abyssal natives — Kansamovich. The name of this Phase Gate was "Skeleton". It was currently in Yuantan Continent, under Wardell's control.
If Angor wanted to, he could ask Wardell to do something for Black Earl.
But … now was not the time to expose Yuantan Continent. But that day was not far away. Considering the relationship between Black Earl and Rein, Angor could still use the Phase Gate if he wanted.
But he could not tell Black Earl yet.
