Luigi left the heart area in a hurry.
Angor was going to check the dream wasteland to see if there was any progress on the mission he gave yesterday. Before leaving, he checked on the young Astral Guardian in the pot again. The boy's eyes were dull, and he couldn't sense anything from the outside.
Angor was curious about the Haunt World's materialization ability. He wanted to train the Astral Guardian, but it was still too early for him to do so. Only when he entered the Wisdom Awakening Period as a Hollow Man and was able to interact with the outside world could he proceed to the next step.
After sealing the Astral Guardian with an illusion spell, Angor left the heart area.
He logged into the dream wasteland and changed his location to the new city.
Since Leona was the one who gave the mission to collect music scores, the first person he contacted was Leona.
Leona didn't give him an answer. Instead, she sent him an address: 36th floor of Crown Building.
The Crown Building was located near the Sky Rose Garden. It was a modern skyscraper, and the designer was undoubtedly Jon. The design of the Crown Building was simple and neat. Not all wizards liked it because it was too square.
Still, Leona liked Crown Building a lot. She even moved her office to the top floor of the building.
It was obvious that Leona was going to meet Angor in her office.
Under the cover of the night, Angor flew to the top floor of Crown Building.
Before he entered the building, he saw Leona through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Leona was standing in front of the window, looking at the neon night view of the new city. Not far behind her, Angor could see two busy figures.
At the same time, Leona also noticed Angor's presence.
Leona wasn't surprised by Angor's strange behavior. She gestured at Angor and told him to meet her in her office.
Angor made a "got it" gesture and summoned a layer of mana around him. It was a level-1 cantrip, Shadow Walk, which allowed him to walk through the wall and into the room.
Leona didn't react to Angor's sudden appearance, but the other two people in the office were startled. Well, not two people, but one flower and one person.
"Long time no see, Mary Sue," Angor greeted her with a smile.
Mary Sue, from the Rose Garden, was a red rose with a mouth. She was sitting in front of her desk, working on some documents with her vine hands. She was a bit surprised by Angor's sudden appearance.
After a while, Mary Sue finally realized what was going on. Shyly, she put away the flower bud and covered her red lips, "Good evening, Mister Padt."
Listening to Mary Sue's gentle, girlish voice, Angor could not help but smile. Now that's a real rose. Totally different from Jack Sue's obscene bottom rose.
"Mary Sue, you can leave first." Leona's voice came from the side. "By the way, remember to take away all the documents today. You should know how to deal with them."
Mary Sue gently swayed her bud: "Okay, then I'll leave first."
Mary Sue bowed to both Angor and Leona and left the room.
After Mary Sue left, Angor looked at the other person in the office. Apart from Leona, there was another young man around sixteen or seventeen years old.
However, judging a wizard's age by his appearance was not a good idea. He might look like that, but he could be dozens of years old.
His short, orange-brown hair seemed to be suffering from fluffy syndrome as each strand stood up. His appearance was very decent. Although his lips were thin, when paired with his clear, light blue eyes, he did not appear cold and emotionless. Instead, he gave off a sense of vitality.
He was wearing a soft armor, and a longsword was hanging on his waist. The sword had a scabbard, but it looked familiar.
Angor looked at the young man and hesitated for a while. "You're … Broy, right?"
Young Broy quickly nodded in surprise. He did not expect Angor to know his name.
Angor did not feel relieved to see Broy's reaction. Instead, he gave Leona a strange look.
He had never seen Broy before, but it was normal for him to recognize the young man.
The quest required a knowledgeable connoisseur. Angor did not know such a person, so he asked for Leona's help. In the end, Leona found a connoisseur named Broy.
If Leona wanted to see him, she would definitely ask Broy to come with her. Besides, Leona asked Mary Sue to leave, but she did not, which meant Angor knew who he was.
He was the connoisseur.
In Angor's mind, Broy, as a connoisseur, must be a well-read person who was familiar with countless music scores in the past thousand years in the south. He should have an artistic temperament. He might not be as crazy as Luigi, but Angor could at least tell that he was influenced by art at a glance.
Or rather, an elegant scholar would do.
Angor did not expect Leona to find such a connoisseur.
In Angor's opinion, Broy looked more like a hot-blooded main character in a King's Road comic. He did not look artistic at all.
This was why Angor's expression was so strange when he saw Broy.
Still, Angor knew that one should never judge a book by its cover. He did not voice his doubts. Instead, he looked at Leona who was standing beside him.
Leona noticed Angor's hesitation and chuckled. "Broy is Lady Ivanasha's student. He just came back from the City of Truth not long ago. I heard that he was taught by Mister Kundera when he was in the city. "
Angor's doubts were cleared up after listening to Leona's explanation.
Yesterday, Leona told him that the connoisseur she found was a genius apprentice of a bigshot. Angor did not think about who that "bigshot" was, but he did not expect it to be Ivanasha.
"Haunting Voice" Ivanasha, a level-2 truth-finder wizard of the same generation as Mister Rein. She was stationed in the City of Truth most of the time.
From her nickname, one could tell that she was a Sound Adept.
Since Broy was her student, he must also be a Sound Manipulator who was good at Sound Cantrips.
Not every sound adept was an artist, but no one could compare to a sound adept when it came to appreciating music.
Also, Leona mentioned that Broy was taught by "Kundera", which was even more incredible.
Kundera came from Resting Torch Academy, a truth-finder wizard who stood at the top of the pyramid in the southern wizardry region. He was also one of the rare "academies" among the top wizards. He had many signature creations, which were all related to art, such as waltzes, circuses, and puppetry.
Back in the Abyss City of Rasudran, Mu Ying had used the props made by Kundera to perform a puppet show.
The puppets worked together with Sunders' Nightmare Domain to suppress the two demons, Buffett and Minotaurus. This was how terrifying the puppets were.
Without a doubt, Kundera was an absolute master when it came to art. After all, Resting Torch Academy would never accept someone without artistic talent. As one of the top wizards in the academy, Kundera must know something about art.
The fact that Broy was taught by Kundera was more than enough to explain something.
"You flatter me, Lady Leona. Mister Kundera only criticized me because the method I created was too vague. He didn't give me any pointers." Broy looked at Angor's expression and spoke in an embarrassed tone.
Leona didn't know what to say. You're not embarrassed at all. You're just showing off.
Creating spells? Is that something for apprentices? Even official Magi didn't have many who could create spells!
While complaining in her mind, Leona suddenly noticed Angor and felt relieved. No matter how talented Broy was, he was no match for Angor.
Creating spells? Not only could he create something, but he also created an entire world.
Thinking of this, Leona suddenly calmed down.
After meeting a super genius, she didn't mind meeting a little genius like Angor again.
"You can create spells?" Angor asked curiously. "You can create spells?"
"Not really," Broy replied, "I just combined swordsmanship and music to create a few tricks. They're not that powerful. They're only level-2 or level-3 cantrips. "
Hearing Broy's words, Leona sneered. Sure enough, this guy was very shy and embarrassed. In fact, he was just a little gray wolf with a raised tail, showing off in a self-deprecating way.
Not even a level-3 apprentice could learn a level-3 cantrip. The higher the level of the cantrip, the longer it would take to learn it, and the more likely it would backfire. Ah, now that there was the dream wasteland, it was much better. Even so, it would take years for someone to learn a level-2 or level-3 cantrip.
If it was already so difficult to learn, creating a new one would be even harder. Broy, on the other hand, was not over thirty years old. To be able to do this, he was definitely an unquestionable genius.
"A level-3 cantrip? Not bad," Leona praised. She then looked at Angor and clicked her tongue.
Leona only clicked her tongue and did not say anything else, but her expression had already expressed her thoughts. Too bad she was still not as good as Angor.
Angor didn't know what to say.
Broy didn't mind Leona's comment at all. Instead, he looked at Angor with even more respect.
Leona couldn't help but grumble in her mind. Another fanboy.
As the main supervisor of the new city, Leona had seen many of Angor's fangirls among the apprentices. In other words, almost everyone who logged into the dream wasteland worshipped Angor.
It couldn't be helped. Who wouldn't worship such a huge and realistic illusion? As for the apprentices, they didn't know the truth of the dream wasteland and only thought that it was some kind of solidified special illusion.
But then again, wasn't Leona the same as well?
The more she learned about the dream wasteland, the more she was shocked by its vastness. Leona could only see a small part of the dream wasteland. She couldn't understand the parts that were further away.
She once heard from Iron Granny that the dream wasteland had the potential to be beyond legendary.
As long as Angor didn't make any mistakes, he could become a legendary wizard.
Leona hadn't even stepped onto the path of truth yet, let alone reaching the legendary realm.
She couldn't help but marvel at Angor's creation.
Angor smiled at Broy. "I tried to create new cantrips as an apprentice, but they were only level-0 or beginner ones. It's hard to do anything higher."
"Leona's right. You're very good to be able to do this."
Angor wasn't stingy with his compliments. And he wasn't lying.
Angor was able to create new cantrips mostly because of the tablet's powerful computing power. Broy, on the other hand, did it all on his own, which meant he was quite talented.
Thinking about it, how could someone who was accepted as a student by Ivanasha be a mediocre person?
Broy's eyes lit up when he heard Angor's compliment. However, Broy didn't dare to show his excitement in front of two wizards. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"You don't have to worry about the quest to find the score. Broy will definitely be able to complete it well." At this moment, Leona regained her senses and began to steer the topic on the right track.
Angor chuckled. "I'm sure Broy can do it."
With that, Angor looked at Broy.
Broy immediately understood and took out a stack of parchment filled with music scores from his desk at the side.
"Since the mission was issued, I've received more than a hundred music scores. Putting aside the popular ones and those that have been around for a long time, in terms of value, I've only sorted out these six."
Angor took a quick look at the sheet and didn't understand it.
He calmly raised his eyes and looked at Broy. "Which one of these six music scores do you think is the best? My so-called excellence isn't just precious. It can also capture people's ears when it's performed. "
Broy thought for a moment and pointed at the parchment paper at the bottom. "Overall, the best one is Night Sparrow Rhapsody."
Angor nodded. He took out Night Sparrow Rhapsody and tossed the rest of the parchment paper to Broy. "These are all invalid."
Angor continued, "In the next few days, you'll keep collecting music scores. The next one I want must be better than Night Sparrow Rhapsody. If not, I'd rather not have it.
Also, you don't have to give me all the scores you receive. Just take the best one. The rest are all invalid. "
Broy was stunned for a moment and nodded.
