As Angor began to draw the new runes, he finally got to the main point of his alchemy session.
A large number of Hands of Spell appeared behind Angor's back.
They each had their own tasks, which looked messy and complicated. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that they were moving in a rhythmic pattern.
He also took out the Dream Whelk under the Hand of Spell. As he activated it, the Mystery aura began to dissipate.
When the aura filled the entire hall, Angor began to draw the last rune using the mad hatter's Coronation.
It looked like two simple operations, but in fact, he also had to control the runes, stabilize the energy output, and use multiple spells at the same time.
It wasn't difficult for Angor.
However, there was still a small problem.
The operation itself was correct, but Angor overestimated the strength of the Geometric Lock.
If the Geometric Lock could only suppress the aura of one Mystery item, it would be quite effective. In addition, the underground ruins had a magic array that isolated the aura, which basically sealed the mysterious aura within the dome and prevented it from escaping.
But this time, Angor did not only activate the Dream Whelk but also used the mad hatter's Coronation. The auras of the two Mystery items mixed together and kept attacking the Geometric Lock.
The Geometric Lock was already showing signs of losing control, and some of the Mystery aura was already leaking out.
However, Angor was still able to control the amount of aura released.
However, when Angor finished drawing the last rune, a small figure wearing a black hat appeared on the mirror, and everything changed.
A new Mystery aura was released from the mirror in Angor's hand.
This aura was not as strong as the Dream Whelk and the mad hatter's Coronation. However, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely opening a hole in the geometric lock.
The Mystery aura continued to leak out.
From a macroscopic point of view, the leakage this time wasn't too serious. Moreover, the magic array in the underground ruins was suppressing the Mysterious aura, causing it to only spread within a radius of a hundred meters. If it was in the wild, it probably wouldn't cause too much of a commotion.
However, they were underground, and there were several top-level wizards in the southern wizarding region. Even if they were still some distance away from the Chamber of Poetry, they could still sense the Mystery aura.
…
In the Sage Hall.
The Sovereign of Wisdom had been smiling merrily as he spoke, but suddenly, he came to a halt. He stood up and stared into the darkness with a look of bewilderment on his face.
"This is …"
Before the Wise Sovereign had even finished speaking, Adanis in the mural said, "Mysterious aura?!"
"It is indeed a mysterious aura. Why is it coming from the Clear Sky Poetry Room? Could it be … "The Wise Ruler seemed to have thought of a possibility. His expression was one of shock, and without another word, he walked towards the exit of the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
However, before the Wise Sovereign could reach the exit, a stone slab blocked his path.
"I advise you not to go." The one who spoke was the nose on the stone slab, which was also the clone of the Black Earl.
The Wise Sovereign frowned, wanting to say something.
"I don't care what you're thinking. If you go now, you'll disturb Angor's alchemy. You should know that Angor almost reached the Mystery level, but he was interrupted. It was an accident, and Brute Cavern didn't pursue the matter. But what if Brute Cavern's plan was interrupted again? What do you think Brute Cavern's reaction would be? Do you think Nether City can stop Brute Cavern? "
Whether or not the words of the Black Count had been heard by the Chief Sovereign was another matter for now. However, everyone else in the hall heard the Black Earl's voice clearly.
"Mister Super Dimensional is crafting a Mystery item?!" Kael looked at the direction of the Clear Sky Poetry Room with a blank look.
"I don't know, but it's possible. I also sensed the Mystery aura. And … "It was Red Sword Dorcas who spoke. He stood up and walked towards the Black Earl." … It's a new type of power, and it's unstoppable. "
By the time he finished speaking, Dorcas already stood beside the Black Earl and blocked the Wise Sovereign's path.
Dorcas expressed his attitude with his actions.
He would not allow the Wise Sovereign to disturb Angor's alchemy.
Dorcas didn't want to follow Angor, but he had already made up his mind. At least Angor's offer wasn't bad. Besides, it seemed Angor was about to challenge the Mystery item again. Following an alchemist like Dorcas would only lead to a bright future.
Apart from Dorcas, Wai and Kael also joined the Black Earl. They didn't, nor did they dare to stop the Wise Wizard. However, as Angor's new fans, they didn't want the Wise Wizard to disturb Angor. They didn't dare to stop him directly like Black Earl, but they still had to show their attitude.
The Wise Sovereign looked at the people around him and closed his only eye. He sighed. "I'm not trying to disturb Angor. I'm just … Fine, I'll just stay here and watch from afar. "
Upon seeing the Wise Sovereign retreat, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"You can stop me, but can you stop the others?" the Wise Sovereign asked in a soft voice.
Others? You're the only one here, right? Wait, there's still that woman in the painting!
Everyone quickly looked up at the painting above the fireplace. Earlier, Adanis had always been inside the painting.
But now, the woman's eyes were empty and lifeless. Adanis was nowhere to be seen.
Dorcas said, "Adanis! Shit! "
Just as Dorcas's brows were furrowed and his expression was covered by shadows, Adanis's voice suddenly came from the painting.
"You're here to stop me?"
"I'm not stopping you. I just want you to think carefully. Are you sure you want to offend Angor?"
The former was Adanis' voice, while the latter's cold voice was familiar. The Sovereign of the Wise immediately pointed out the owner of that voice. "Is that … Laplace?"
At the same time, inside the mirror space of the painting.
Adanis looked into the dark sky.
She was currently at the outer edge of the mirror space. She only needed to break through the outer edge to reach the mirror domain. But now, the mirror space of the painting was sealed by a powerful force.
Adanis could force her way through, but it would definitely shatter the mirror space.
If the mirror space was destroyed, Adanis would lose a lookout for the Wise Sovereign. She would also suffer a backlash from the broken mirror space. Even though the backlash wasn't too severe for her, if she was injured, she wouldn't have the upper hand against Laplace who was outside.
Even if Adanis was 90% sure that Laplace wouldn't do anything to her, she still didn't want to bet on the remaining 10%.
"I'm just using the mirror to observe. I won't disturb him. How am I offending him?"
Laplace said, "Watching is a form of interference. In certain circumstances, it can be a strong interference. You should understand. "
"But that's only under certain —"
Before Adanis could finish, Laplace cut her off. "Are you sure this isn't a special situation? Are you sure your watching won't affect Angor's work? "
Adanis didn't say anything this time. But she still didn't leave. Instead, she stared at Laplace through the dark mirror space.
Laplace didn't show any expression on his face, but he was slowly calming down.
Before leaving Rabbit Mountain, Angor told Laplace that he was going to make a mirror and asked Laplace to keep an eye on Adanis. Back then, Laplace didn't know what Angor meant.
Now, sensing the mysterious waves coming from the mirror in the Clear Sky Poetry Room, Laplace vaguely understood.
Angor was doing alchemy? Furthermore, he was crafting a mysterious item?
There was one thing Laplace couldn't figure out. How did Angor gain inspiration from making a mirror that led him to Rabbit Mountain? He didn't study Sweet Dream too much before, so how did he manage to find a way to create a Mystery item?
Laplace didn't show it on his face. Anyway, if Angor really made a mirror, he would have to use it sooner or later, and they would know when the time came.
Laplace's job now was to stop Adanis from interrupting Angor's alchemy.
Seeing that Adanis was still unwilling to leave, Laplace considered and asked, "Do you know why I'm here?"
"Something to do with Angor?" Adanis frowned.
Laplace nodded. "Yes. He asked me to come here."
"How dare he —" Adanis glared at Laplace.
"You know something about alchemy as well, right?" Laplace interrupted her again. "So you should know that when you're inspired, you'll visit your friends one by one and tell them not to disturb you. Then, you'll find a quiet and safe place to start your alchemy, right?"
"I think the answer is no."
"Angor stayed with me for a while. I don't know why he suddenly had an idea, but I can understand why he wanted to put it into practice. He didn't have time to visit you and the Sage one by one, so he asked me to explain it to him. "
At this point, Laplace could vaguely see the Black Earl and the others outside through the mirror space. "Don't worry about Sage for now, so I hope you can understand."
Earlier, Adanis was furious that Angor sent Laplace here just to provoke her. But when she thought about it, Laplace's words made sense.
Angor suddenly started alchemy, and it was very likely that he was trying to find the limit of Mystery. This must be a case of "sudden inspiration".
Under such circumstances, the inspiration might disappear in a flash. Considering the situation, Angor didn't have time to tell her and asked Laplace to explain it for him, which wasn't surprising.
With this in mind, Adanis slowly calmed down.
Besides, Laplace was right. "Observing" and "watching" could be considered interference. When trying to break through Mystery, it could even be considered forceful interference. She did act a bit too rashly.
Besides, Angor still had Olao in his hands. She needed Angor to speak for her in front of Olao.
Adanis knew that it was wrong to peek at his alchemy when she needed his help, but she would never admit it.
Adanis humphed. "I don't care why he suddenly started alchemy. But it's his fault for using and blocking the Poetry Room. I'll let it go this time for your sake. But there won't be a next time. "
With that, Adanis slowly retreated and returned to the surface layer, which was the layer between the mirror space and reality.
Laplace looked at Adanis quietly until she had completely disappeared. Then he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Clear Sky Poetry Room. His eyes were filled with confusion and … anticipation.
Inside the Sage Hall.
Adanis didn't say anything after she came back.
Everyone in the hall heard the conversation between Adanis and Laplace, and they all knew that saying anything at this point would be like stroking a tiger's whiskers. It was better to stay silent.
Although no one said anything, their thoughts were floating in their minds.
Meanwhile, the one who led them to this topic — Angor — had closed his eyes and entered a strange space with his mind.
It was the omen space created by the alchemy.
…
In the dark forest, Angor opened his eyes.
He looked around. It was all forest, and the ground was covered with withered branches and rotten leaves.
Next, he checked his own condition. He couldn't sense his mind space, and his body was as weak as a mortal's.
Angor knew that he had entered the omen space without a doubt.
He was only crafting a beginner item, which had a low probability of triggering omens. But he clearly remembered that before he entered the omen, a black hat appeared on the mirror.
"Black hat again …" Angor sighed.
He didn't know if this was good luck or bad luck. Feng and his friends always used "Mad Hatter's Coronation" to show up as white hats. But when Angor got his hands on them, black hats popped up one after another as if they didn't cost any money.
White hats, on the other hand, rarely appeared.
Angor knew what the coronation of a black hat meant. Once the coronation was successful, the mirror he crafted would have a special effect. Of course, the mirror was only a beginner item for now. Once Angor left the omen space, he wouldn't be so sure.
Generally speaking, the coronation of a black hat sounded great, and Feng kept praising him. But Angor was still worried.
This was because the alchemy omen brought by the coronation of the black hat was different from anything he had experienced before.
He still didn't know why he entered the omen.
In the past, entering different omens was like entering different dungeons. There would always be some guidance. Even if there wasn't any guidance, there would at least be some obvious clues. But now, he was in a silent forest. He didn't see anything strange, nor was there any guidance.
This time, he felt like a blind man searching for an elephant. Everything was dark.
Since he couldn't see any hope, he stood up and walked toward a direction where there were fewer trees.
Putting everything else aside, at the very least, he should explore this pitch-black forest with tall trees and broad-leaved trees.
