Next, Luigi began to practice Night Sparrow's Flight.
It was his first time, but as a master performer, he was able to master it quickly. If nothing went wrong, he should be able to do it before nightfall.
While Luigi was practicing, Angor didn't stay idle. First, he returned to the real world.
He walked out of the soundproof room and saw the "five little ones" sitting in a row outside, watching a movie box.
Oleo and Speed Spirit were the only ones who noticed Angor's presence. Hydland, Wood Spirit, and Dangros did not notice him at all.
Wood Spirit and Dangros were attracted by the plot of Apothecary of Strange Flame, while Hydland seemed to be sleeping.
Angor did not disturb Wood Spirit and Dangros. Instead, he sent a message to Oleo, telling him that he wanted to have a good talk with the boy.
Oleo did not refuse. Soon, they arrived at the soundproof room.
…
Oleo looked completely different from the last time Angor saw him.
Although he was wearing a wide top hat, it still couldn't hide the glimmering rainbow-colored hair under the brim of the hat …
Angor remembered that Oleo could not control his appearance when he woke up last time. In the end, Angor used the Illusion Palette to change Oleo's face, skin color, and hair color.
Back then, Oleo chose black hair. But during the process, Angor changed his hair color from neon green to purple. He had a lot of fun.
It was the first time Oleo woke up after leaving the Chamber of Poetry, so Angor thought it was just a process for Oleo to adapt to the outside world.
But today, when he saw the colorful hair under Oleo's hat, Angor almost could not help it.
Just how much did Oleo like colorful hair?!
It wasn't that Angor didn't like the idea, but Olao was still wearing a black tuxedo with a simple white shirt and a black top hat with white flowers on it. No matter how Angor looked at it, Olao looked like a gentleman with great taste in clothes.
But Oleo's colorful hair was like a sharp blade that stabbed into the gentleman's aura.
Not only did Angor feel like wasting his time, but he also felt awkward.
Maybe because Angor was looking at him too "intensely", Oleo noticed Angor's gaze.
"Is there something wrong with my hair, Mister Angor?" Angor rubbed a few strands of hair behind his ear.
"It's nothing. I'm just attracted by your hair color. It looks … special." Angor hesitated for a moment before he stopped himself from bursting out. "Oh, it's nothing. Your hair color is … special."
What a special killer.
"As long as you don't hate it, sir."
"… No, I don't."
Angor did not hate it, but it was "dazzling".
Olao scratched the bridge of his nose and smiled in embarrassment. "Personally, I feel that this hair color is a little too flashy. However, Sir Red Sword said before that if I don't have a personality, I will be eliminated by the trend. He suggested that I must find my own personality. He also said that a bright hair color is a way to show my personality."
So it's Dorcas' suggestion … No wonder it's so unreliable.
Olao said, "I was afraid that you wouldn't like it. Thank goodness."
Angor really wanted to tell Oleo that the opposite of "not hating" wasn't "liking". It could be "feeling nothing".
However, looking at Olao's shy expression, he could not bring himself to say anything to attack him. Hence, he could only sigh inwardly, and tactfully said, "It's good to show your personality, but you can't go with the flow. Your true personality is to discover your own passion, not to rely on other people's suggestions.
"Dorcas thinks that hair color is a way to show your personality. That's his opinion, not yours.
"Since he gave you a suggestion, I'll give you one of my own. I suggest that you learn more about the outside world in the future. Through what you see with your eyes, touch with your limbs, feel with your heart, and desire with your heart, combine your vision, knowledge, and values to find your true passion … That's your personality. "
Oleo was a ten-thousand-year-old shut-in who did not know much about the outside world, but he was not stupid. After hearing Angor's words, Oleo seemed to have understood something. He reached out a hand and touched his own hair. His colorful hair, which would make Mary Sue cry for him, turned into neat black hair.
"I'm not telling you to change your hair color right away. What's important is whether you really like it or not." Angor felt a little embarrassed when he saw Oleo changing his hair color so quickly.
Oleo smiled shyly. "I don't know whether I like it or not. I think you're right, sir. I need to think about it more carefully.
"Before I figure out what kind of hair color I really like, I'll keep it black. Black hair is the color I show others when I'm bound by the contract. "
"Speaking of the contract, I remember you said that you can't enter the Mirror Domain when you're bound by the contract, right?"
Oleo nodded, then shook his head.
"I can't enter the real Mirror Domain. But I can still enter the shallow mirror layer."
"Shallow mirror layer? You mean the buffer space? "
Oleo nodded. "Yes."
Oleo's answer was calm, but Angor felt a little sad when he heard it.
Although Adanis had been trapped in the Clear Sky Poetry Room for many years, she could still enter the Daylight Mirror Domain. Moreover, Adanis did not completely restrict her freedom. She could still observe the real world through the mirror.
But Oleo could not even enter the Mirror Domain. For ten thousand years, the only thing he could see was the tiny Chamber of Poetry.
Even Angor felt that it was a little too much.
Augustine was such a bastard!
Oleo did not have it easy either. To put it nicely, he was the guardian of the Chamber of Poetry. But to put it bluntly, he had been imprisoned for ten thousand years.
Yet, Oleo was still able to keep his mind open and actively pursue "trends" … Angor felt that he had gone too far when he talked about Oleo's hair color in a roundabout way.
Angor cleared his throat. "You said your hair was black when you were shackled. But your real hair color is not black, right? "
Olao didn't expect Angor to bring up the topic again.
He nodded. "My real hair color is silver. You must have seen it before. My skin is also silver."
"Why don't you change it to silver?"
Oleo hesitated. "Last time, Mister Red Sword said that silver is too dazzling …"
"He suggested that you use colorful hair. How can silver be dazzling?" Angor shook his head. "Don't mind him. Besides, Laplace has silver hair too."
"You … know Laplace, right?"
Oleo nodded. "Yes. She's very powerful. Adanis always badmouthing her, but I know that Adanis really admired Laplace from the bottom of her heart. "
"So, why do you care if someone as powerful as Laplace doesn't care about silver hair?"
Oleo considered and agreed with Angor's words. He reached out a hand and touched his hair again. With a burst of energy, his black hair turned back to silver.
It had to be said that Olao's attire, coupled with his gentle and shy face and his half-length silver hair, was very good-looking.
Angor wanted Oleo's hair back because he heard that Oleo's hair was black when he was bound by the contract. Angor wondered if Oleo was still bound because of his hair color.
Regaining silver hair was a way to tell Oleo that he was free, both physically and mentally.
Although Oleo did not seem to care that much.
"You and Dorcas went out for a stroll. Did you find anything?"
"Yeah, I bought a lot of stuff …" Oleo took out his body and tried to take out the items he bought last time.
But Angor stopped him.
"I'm not talking about what you bought. What do you think about it? " Angor continued, "Or, did you change your mind after seeing the outside world?"
Oleo hesitated. "Mister Angor, are you worried that I'll be tempted by the outside world and leave you?"
Angor chuckled. "I'm the one who asked you to leave. Why would I worry about that?"
"What I mean is, now that you're no longer bound by the contract, you can try to go out and see the bigger world. As for turning your body into a Mystery item … well, I'm not in a hurry. I don't have the ability to do that yet. "
"No need. I can still see the outside world if I follow you, Mister Angor."
Oleo took a deep breath and continued, "Back in the Chamber of Poetry, I didn't agree to follow Mister Angor because I hoped that Mister Angor could take me away. But when I learned about Mister Angor's condition, I gave up on the idea.
"I trust Mister Angor's choice. I'm willing to follow you."
Angor didn't know what to say. He understood what Oleo meant, but why did it sound like Angor was forcing Oleo to follow him? "I'm willing to follow you"? Wasn't that a typical example of someone being wronged?
Of course, words could not be taken as reality. When Olao said this, his eyes were clear, and his emotions were red. It meant that he had indeed said what he thought. However, because of the difference in time, he did not know that "I did it willingly" was more like sarcasm.
"What's your next plan then?" Angor asked, "Even if you follow me, you still need to plan for the future."
Oleo considered for a moment. "In the long run, I want to see Mister Augustine again."
Augustine had done a lot of harm to people.
"If possible, I'd like to see him again. So, if that's the case, we have the same goal. What's next? Do you have any other plans? Or should I say, wishes? "
"In the medium term, I want to see Adaegu."
Angor didn't say anything. He wanted to see Adaegu too! But he didn't have the chance.
There was still a chance to see Augustine. After all, Augustine gave Angor a title, "Poet Bathed in Moonlight". As long as Angor could find the place where Augustine left his will, he might be able to see Augustine through the title.
But Adaegu was a different story.
Adaegu was Oleo's elder brother in name, and his true form was the famous "Augustine's Mirror of Twin" from the Origin World.
It was a Mystery item that was as famous as the Book of Kael.
Angor couldn't think of a way to meet Adaegu.
Oleo paused and continued, "As for the short term, I want to see Adanis in her complete form."
By "her complete form", Oleo meant that Adanis would go to the Origin World and recover her lost parts from Margret.
Angor didn't need to do it himself since Black Earl would do it for him. However, if Oleo called it a "short term" goal, Angor didn't have to say anything.
It would probably take a lot of effort for Adanis to recover fully. It would definitely take a long time. Decades? Or centuries? Or even millennia?
As expected of Oleo. He lived for ten thousand years and didn't care about time at all.
Angor tried to keep a calm expression on his face. Oleo seemed to have misunderstood Angor's expression. "Of course, I want to see all of them with you, Mister Angor."
Angor didn't know what to say. You don't have to be so stiff. I'm not mad that I'm not included in your plan.
"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't say anything else. However, it's not enough to only look at the distance. You have to look at what's in front of you. "
"Is there anything you want to do right now?"
Oleo scratched his head. "I don't think so. Oh, by the way, Mister Black Earl promised to let me know when he leaves for the Origin World. I hope I can meet with Edanis then. "
"I know. I won't stop you from seeing Adanis. You can even go see her right now."
"I mean, you don't want to improve yourself at all? Like improving your strength? "
Oleo didn't know what to say. "Do I need to improve myself?"
At first, he didn't understand what Olao meant. But as Olao explained further, he began to understand what Olao was talking about.
The reason why Olao said, "Does this still need to be improved?" was because his previous power had been sealed. He was still trying to undo the seal. Once the seal was undone, his talent and strength would naturally increase.
Besides, he didn't spend the last ten thousand years waiting for nothing.
What he gained during this time was enough to push him to the peak of his strength.
For this reason, he didn't need to focus on improving his strength in the short term. What he needed to do now was to uncover his original abilities.
For example, the ability to change the color of one's hair and appearance was something that Olao did not have when the contract was first broken. It was only later that he slowly unearthed this ability.
Olao could sense that there was still quite a bit of this power buried deep within his body.
Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to improve himself.
