Five minutes ago.
After the black hat and the half-length mirror were crowned, Angor entered the test of the omen. At the same time, an omen began to appear in the real world.
It was just that the strange phenomenon at the beginning was not conspicuous, only a faint light.
Anyone who knew a thing or two about alchemy could tell that the item Angor was making wasn't very powerful. It was probably a mid-tier item.
Such an omen might cause a stir in Brute Cavern, where alchemy materials were scarce. But in other areas, it would only attract the attention of a few ignorant people.
The Wise Ruler and Adanis were both highly accomplished in the field of alchemy. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have paid any attention to Tranquil Glimmer.
But at this time, in the Sage Hall, they were staring at the direction of the Clear Sky Poetry Room, sensing the faint light coming from the Geometrical Lock dome.
The glimmer was not worthy of their attention, but the mysterious aura within the glimmer was worthy of their attention.
"The omen is here. It means Angor's alchemy is almost finished." Dorcas was also looking at the omen, but he didn't seem to understand. "But it's a little … weak."
Even the Wise Man and Adanis were puzzled by the omen's omen.
Sure, they were attracted by the mysterious aura, but alchemy omens couldn't be faked.
It was a low-tier omen, so why was it giving off such a mysterious aura?
"Can you tell what he is crafting?" Adanis' gaze shot out of the painting, looking towards the Wise Sovereign.
"Are you giving me a hard time, Your Majesty?" The Wise Man chuckled.
Adanis humphed but didn't say anything.
The Wise Man pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. But if Angor is only making a mid-tier item, it's probably the most common type. "
"If it's Synthesis Alchemy, it should only contain three to five alchemy materials, and these materials should belong to the same category. If it's Enchantment Alchemy, it should only contain a few basic mageweaths. There might not even be a Mana Array."
The Sovereign of Wisdom's reply was basically a straightforward one. Everyone present could understand it. In other words, if it was just an ordinary mid-tier item, it should only have two or three effects. Moreover, it wasn't the kind of compound effect, but a very basic effect.
It was just like the effect of the Sharpness Mageweath: Sharpness. This was the basic effect. Compound effects were similar to "Rune of Sharpness", which was an advanced rune called "Rune of Armor-Piercing", which could pierce through armor.
The reason the Wise Lord made such a judgment was that the alchemy omen produced by the composite mageweath could be used to determine the general direction of the alchemist's refinement.
The alchemy omen produced by the basic mageweath was the faint glow of various colors.
It was a bit difficult to see what the alchemists were refining just by looking at the glimmer. There were a lot of basic runes, and most of them would produce the same omens.
"Angor," the Wise Man said Alchemy, "Angor's work, we have to wait. After all, we can't just ignore the Mystery aura. "
This was the first time the Wise Man saw something like this, and he knew it couldn't be judged by common sense.
After that, no one in the hall spoke again.
The silence lasted for several minutes. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Vaay whispered to Kael, who was standing beside him, "Do you think Mister Angor passed the omen?"
Kael considered for a moment. "I think so. The omen seems to be stable, and it shouldn't be too dangerous."
As Angor's number one fan, Wai sighed in relief. "I'm glad to hear that."
Black Earl, Adanis, and the Wise Man also heard the conversation between Kael and Vaay.
Contrary to Kael's opinion, they weren't as optimistic.
If Angor was crafting an ordinary mid-tier item, the omen test wouldn't be too difficult for him. He could pass it easily. But was he really making an ordinary mid-tier item? They didn't believe it.
The Mystery aura couldn't be faked. It was a Mystery aura that accompanied the omen. If Angor was making an item related to Mystery, even if it was only a half-step Mystery item, the omen would be much more difficult.
Just as Adanis and the Wise Overseer expected, Angor encountered a much more difficult omen than the ones he encountered before.
Fortunately, Angor met Rabbit Chacha. With Chacha's help, Angor successfully escaped from the omen.
As soon as Angor left the omen, the light around the poetry room began to change.
"What's going on? The omen is changing! " It was the Wise Man who spoke. As the actual controller of the underground magic array, he was the first one to notice the change.
Soon, the others also noticed the change in the phenomenon.
The omen, which was supposed to be quiet and peaceful, was now turning into a dark red light.
It looked like a blood-red light that covered the entire poetry room.
Not only that, but the omen also began to expand rapidly. At first, it only covered the poetry room, but in the blink of an eye, it almost broke through the magic array's restraints.
Even the mysterious aura began to grow at a crazy rate, spreading outwards at an extremely fast speed.
In less than two seconds, the omen expanded by ten times.
With the poetry room as the center, the entire place was now filled with red light.
"Why did the omen suddenly change? By the way, did it reach the surface? "Dorcas looked at the Wise Man. It would be bad if the omen reached the surface. Currently, they were only being watched by the traveling merchants. If the omen spread to the outside world, all the supernaturals in Billon Tree Garden would notice them.
As a wizard market, Billon Tree Garden accommodated supernaturals from all over the world. Once the omen spread out, everyone would pay attention to this place.
Dorcas and the others promised the Wise Man that they wouldn't tell anyone about the underground waterway. It would be considered a breach of promise if someone noticed Angor's omen.
This was why Dorcas asked the Wise Man first.
The Wise Man slowly shook his head. "It didn't reach the surface. But it did reach the underground."
Dorcas was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered. "It's better underground than above ground. But it's really strange. Why is it spreading downward instead of upward? "
The Wise Man remained silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "See for yourselves."
With that, the Wise Man pointed a finger in the air, and the omen he saw appeared in front of everyone in the form of an illusion.
The others could vaguely see the red light, but they couldn't see the details due to the magic array's restrictions.
Only the Wise Man could see the omen in its entirety.
Because of this, when the Wise Man showed the omen to everyone, they all looked at it.
And they were all dumbfounded by what they saw.
Previously, they had all thought that the faint light had turned into a scarlet blood light. However, they had not expected that not only was there a blood light, but this blood light had also taken on a shape.
Where the light was thinner, there was a faint pink color, which was also the edge of the omen.
However, where the light was thicker, there was an outline. And that outline … was a heart.
A beating heart.
Dorcas finally understood why the omen didn't reach the surface but kept spreading downward. It looked like a giant, irregular heart.
Every time it beat, red light would scatter everywhere.
The red light they saw earlier was the same rhythm as a beating heart.
"Why is it a heart?" Everyone was confused.
Even Adanis couldn't help but ask the Wise Man, "Is there any record of a heart-type omen before?"
"At least ten thousand years ago, I didn't see anything like this."
After saying this, the Wise Sovereign looked at the Black Count.
Black Earl seemed to understand what the Wise Man meant. He shook his head. "I didn't either."
There were no such records, so they couldn't tell what kind of item Angor was crafting from the omen.
The Wise Man sighed. "I've only seen alchemists who failed to pass the omen and caused the omen to wither."
"This is the first time I've seen a faint light turn into a heart anomaly."
Clearly, this wasn't the result of a failed omen trial. It was likely to be another form of omen manifestation.
And this was something the Wise Man had never seen before.
The Wise Man had the right to speak about alchemy, so when it came to something even he didn't know, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was … Mystery.
"Mystery aura, and that beating heart. Did Mister Angor craft a Mystery item? "Vaal whispered.
Everyone else had the same thought, but the Wise Man shook his head.
"I've never seen someone craft a Mystery item, but I don't think this level of Mystery aura has reached the standard of a Mystery item," the Wise Man said. "But I don't think the Mystery aura is fake. Since the Mystery aura is associated with the phenomenon, perhaps he's crafting an alchemy item with Mystery power."
To put it bluntly, it was a semi-Mysaint item.
"That's all for now. We'll know when Angor comes out."
Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and didn't say anything else. However, they still couldn't calm down from their shock.
The Wise Man and Adanis felt even more conflicted. The Wise Man thought he already overestimated Angor, but now he realized that he still underestimated Angor's abilities.
Adanis also thought about how she underestimated Angor's abilities. But she was more concerned about the fact that Angor really could make Mystery items. Perhaps it was the best choice for Oleo to follow Angor.
The others also had similar thoughts, but they weren't too complicated. Most of them were thinking about their own plans. For example, Black Earl was thinking about how he could use this experience to get closer to Angor. Dorcas was glad that he chose to follow Angor. At the same time, he was also thinking about how he could get something from Angor so that Angor could craft something for him. For example, a sword.
Meanwhile, Angor, who everyone was thinking about, was facing a completely different situation.
…
Angor felt helpless when he saw the omen coming from the ceiling.
Like Dorcas, he hoped that the omen wouldn't spread to the ground.
With mixed feelings, Angor tried to sense the omen.
Then, he saw the beating heart.
At this moment, his thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality. He didn't care about the omen spreading anymore. He was still in shock.
The heart was on Earl Dark Tea's table. How did it become an omen all of a sudden?
After thinking for a while, Angor came up with an unreliable but only plausible explanation. The half-mirror was reflecting the heart before it disappeared.
Because it had been reflecting the heart all this time, the vision of the half-body mirror had turned into the heart.
This explanation had cause and effect, but there was no process or logic involved. However, it was the only explanation Angor could think of.
Apart from that, he couldn't figure out why the mirror he crafted turned out to be a heart.
Angor didn't think about it anymore. He couldn't come up with any other answers. The more he thought about it, the more he got lost in it.
Omens were nothing more than fireworks that could disappear at any time. The most important thing was the final effect of the half-mirror.
Angor summoned a Hand of Spell and placed the mirror in front of him.
Next, he focused his mind on the mirror.
A moment later, he opened his eyes with a puzzled look.
He already sensed the effect of the mirror. However, there was only one effect — indestructible.
This was the only effect Angor engraved on the mirror when he crafted it.
He hoped that the mirror wouldn't break so easily and could resist all kinds of unexpected factors.
After all, he needed the mirror to carry the important task of going to Rabbit Mountain. It wouldn't be good if the mirror broke so easily.
Angor wasn't surprised when he saw the "indestructible" effect.
He was more concerned about something else.
There was a faint Mystery aura around the mirror. Without a doubt, it could be considered a semi-Mystic item.
But what was the effect of a semi-Mystic item?
The "Black Crown" shouldn't only be indestructible, right?
Angor considered and reached his senses into the mirror again. Just like before, he only sensed one effect. As for the "Black Crown" effect, he still couldn't sense it.
He was the maker of the mirror, and he didn't put any runes on the mirror to make it recognize him as its owner. He had absolute control over the mirror.
Even so, he couldn't sense any specific effect. Why?
