It was as if Angor was being targeted by the entire world. Wherever he went, something bad would happen. Splashing water on a building, accidentally knocking down a building, dropping a baby in front of him … Anything that could attract the attention of the townspeople would happen around him.
Once, Angor even saw a mottled spot of moonlight in a dark yard. Because he couldn't see anything clearly, he wanted to look at the surroundings under the moonlight. However, because of his intuition, after careful observation, he found that in an inconspicuous little house, a child was lifting the floral curtains and lying on the windowsill, looking at the mottled moonlight fragments in the courtyard.
He was lucky that he noticed it in time. Otherwise, the child's gaze would have ruined his plan.
After this experience, Angor finally had a better idea of how difficult it was to explore a strange phenomenon world. According to the book, the Middle-grade Alchemy Tools he crafted would not cause any physical harm to the user during the Omen Test. Only the Middle-grade Alchemy Tools or Mystic-grade Omen Test could possibly kill the user.
Although the safety of his life was guaranteed, it was definitely not easy to pass the test of this omen. If not for his intuition, he would have failed and left already.
Angor finally felt lucky that he was brave enough to craft Prelude to Elimination. If not for the wound on his soul, he would probably have a nervous breakdown because of the wailing souls.
Angor had to walk carefully in such a harmless yet cautious environment. It took him two hours to walk across the street.
When he passed through the town and saw the barren plain again, he sighed in relief.
Just as he was about to relax, he heard a huge explosion coming from the town behind him. The ground trembled, and Angor staggered a few steps and almost fell down.
Along with the billowing smoke, children's cries, and adults' screams came from the town behind him.
Angor wanted to turn around to see what was going on.
But at this moment, a sense of danger made him stop in his tracks.
"I can't turn around?"
He looked up and ignored the cries and screams of children behind him. He kept walking forward with a straight face.
His conscience did not allow him to bear the children's cries. He stopped walking several times, but each time he wanted to look back, his intuition stopped him.
In the end, Angor felt better when he did not hear the cries behind him.
He had been walking on the path of no return for a long time. At the end of the path was a forest. Angor looked at the gloomy forest that was illuminated by the moonlight. He was a little worried, but he did not stop walking.
The forest looked like a ghost, but it was very safe. It only took Angor a while to walk out of the forest.
When he walked out of the forest, he saw a black door standing in the air. Both doors were engraved with a shining magic array called Infinite Reticence.
The black door that appeared out of nowhere was located at the edge of the plain beside the river.
Angor looked at the moon in the sky and the footprints on the path in front of him, as well as the motionless river. He realized that he had returned to the starting point.
. but this time, there was a black door.
So, the entrance to the anomaly was the exit?
Angor thought about his journey: the path of loneliness that could not be stopped, the small town that could not be noticed, and the cruel path that could not be turned back.
These experiences seemed to be a test for Angor's ability to craft a mid-tier item, but they also warned him of something.
Entering the wizarding world meant entering the path of loneliness. Stopping meant being eliminated. Entering the wizarding world meant staying away from the noise and focus on research. Otherwise, one would become a common person. Entering the wizarding world meant one had to keep moving forward and learn cruelty from the weak heart.
Angor looked at the long, winding path on the dark plain. There was no longer fear in his eyes. Perhaps this was only an ordinary path in the trial of the phenomenon, but it could also be seen as the path of an adept that tirelessly pursued the truth.
The long night was lonely, dark without light, and boundless silence. Such days might accompany the Magi for countless years.
…
Angor walked out of the black door and felt his vision blur. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the anomaly was gone. He was in his lab, holding the glowing space bracelet in his hand.
When he looked at the simple bracelet, a strange aura suddenly appeared from nowhere and poured into the bracelet.
The strange aura disappeared, and the dim light of the bracelet was also extinguished. It returned to being a simple and unremarkable bronze bracelet.
There was no light, but Angor knew that the bracelet would only be considered a success after the light was extinguished.
Angor put away his thoughts and grinned. He began to play with the bracelet.
The bracelet did not look like anything special. Or rather, it was simple. The "Infinite Reticence" magic array was engraved on the inner part of the bracelet, so the complicated patterns could not be seen from the outside. There was only one pattern that went from the inner part to the outer part of the bracelet, but it was connected to the contract rune engraved on the crimson gem on the outer part of the bracelet.
Only when the patterns were connected could the bracelet be considered as a whole. Otherwise, it would only be a bracelet engraved with Infinite Reticence and a space gem engraved with contract runes.
Angor used his spirit feelers to check the space inside. Nine cubic meters. This was the maximum space item he could craft at the moment. Once the space reached ten cubic meters, he would not need to engrave Infinite Reticence on it.
Since this was a space bracelet for himself, Angor did not hesitate to inject his mana into the rune. In the next second, the crimson gem on the surface of the bracelet began to glow. When the glow covered the entire bracelet, the contract was completed.
From now on, the bracelet could only be used by Angor alone unless it was destroyed by force. No one else could use their spirit feelers to check its interior.
Angor put on the bracelet and injected a small amount of mana to activate the hidden effect of "Infinite Reticence". The ancient bracelet slowly disappeared from his wrist at a speed visible to the naked eye until it became completely invisible.
Now, his wrist was smooth and flawless. No matter how one looked at it with the naked eye or sensed it with their spiritual power, they couldn't detect it. However, if they touched it with their hands, they could still find something strange.
This was the first time Angor used a space item. Although he looked like he was inspecting the item, he was actually having fun. He kept putting it in and taking it out. He had a lot of fun.
When his vision suddenly turned dark, he finally realized that he had not rested for days. Only then did he put down his playful thoughts and yawned as he walked towards the small bed in the corner.
Before falling asleep, he did not forget to put the Hollow Weed into his space bracelet. Hollow Weed was a magical plant that did not require much effort. As long as it entered the void, it would become self-sufficient and slowly build its own "nest". Once the "nest" was completed, Angor only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of its labor.
Since he was in the underground lab, he did not know whether it was day or night. When he woke up, it was already noon of the next day.
Angor yawned again and checked the Hollow Weed inside his bracelet. After one night, the thirteen Void Floating Algae had already formed a small green "nest" that was half a meter square in one corner of the space.
The "nest" would not grow bigger in the future. But for now, Angor was quite satisfied. The only thing he needed to use the "nest" was the Section Ephemera Greya gave him.
He looked at the messy lab and cleaned it up a bit. When he was almost done, Angor went back to the lab. When he was done, he went to the materials section and put the precious materials into his bracelet. Then, he went to the bathroom to clean himself up.
He went to bed covered in sweat last night. When he woke up, he smelled his own body like a piece of sour bread that had gone bad.
While waiting for the water to run, Angor took off the Alien Eye hanging around his neck.
The Alien Eye was very precious. It was the reason why Jon came to the wizarding world. Angor always carried it with him. Now that he had a space bracelet, he planned to store it inside.
However, he was surprised to find that the Alien Eye could not be put inside the bracelet. Or rather, Angor felt that if he forcefully put the Alien Eye inside, the space inside the bracelet would collapse.
Angor was puzzled for a while and decided to keep it with him. Since even Sunders did not see anything special about the Alien Eye, there should be no problem.
He took a comfortable bath and changed into a pair of loose clothes before heading upstairs with a refreshed look.
"Toby?" As soon as he reached the hall, he heard the melodious tune of City of Sky. Amidst the beautiful melody, there was also a shrill chirp. Angor walked closer and saw that Toby was singing along with the music.
Angor did not want to interrupt Toby's singing. But for the sake of his ears, he still called out.
"Tweet tweet tweet!" Toby saw Angor and happily fluttered his wings. As soon as he landed on Angor's shoulder, Toby began to complain.
Basically, he was complaining about not having freedom in this place.
Ever since Toby was injured, Angor had never let him go out alone. When he recovered, he had to come to The Tributary again, which forced Toby to be grounded again.
A bird's natural instinct was to be free. Not letting Toby go out would only restrict his nature. Angor felt guilty. He patted Toby's back and comforted him in a small voice. "We'll go home soon. I've been busy lately, and I happen to have some free time today. How about we go meet that little friend of yours tonight? "
Toby immediately looked down when he mentioned "little friend". His feathers drooped down, and his head drooped.
Angor did not know how to comfort the bird. "You're always interested in benefits. Just remember this when you make friends."
Toby nodded and rubbed his head against Angor's palm.
"Pack up. Let's go."
They left The Tributary using the Iron Fortress again.
Iron Granny saw Angor and greeted him warmly. When Angor was about to leave, Iron Granny frowned. "Boy, I didn't see where you put your item. Did you put it in a space storage?"
Of course, Angor did not hear Iron Granny's mumbling. If he did, he would probably just chuckle without saying anything.
After leaving The Tributary, Angor quickly put on his wizard robe and injected mana into Infinite Reticence to activate "Alienation".
Even Toby, who was sitting on Angor's shoulder, did not know what was going on.
"Did I see anything strange when I was doing the alchemy yesterday?" Angor asked Toby in a small voice.
Toby's eyes finally cleared up. He shook his head and tried to make some gestures.
"Other than the strong winds, there are no other signs?"
