Angor's journey from Tree Spirit Garden to Apprentice Town did not attract anyone's attention while hiding his presence.
But when he arrived at his house, he noticed that there were even more people around his house. Hiding his presence did not mean he could completely avoid being noticed.
Although he could rely on a high output of magic power to make himself completely invisible. However, opening and closing the door would attract attention, which might expose the fact that he had an invisibility item. There weren't many cantrips that had the effect of invisibility, and most of them only fooled the naked eye. For example, level-0 cantrip, Light Distortion. Something like Infinite Reticence, which could deceive the senses of others and even spirit detection, was impossible for a wizard like Angor to do. The only possibility was an alchemy item.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to go in openly. But before that, he first went to a small yard several hundred meters away.
There was an open-air training ground in the courtyard. The tools that bloodline adepts used to train their bodies were everywhere.
Under the bright sunlight, Nausica held her knight sword in her left hand and did all kinds of exercises. Mana was boiling inside her body, which caused strong mana ripples to appear in the air.
Angor stood at the entrance of the yard and watched for a long time. Nausica glanced at him several times, but she did not notice him because his presence was weakened.
When Nausica was resting, Angor knocked on the door.
Someone knocked on the door, and Angor's weak presence began to ripple. Nausica looked at the door because of the knock. Maybe it was the difference between the weak presence she had before, but now she noticed Angor's presence. She noticed him right away.
Nausica walked to the door and opened it. "Hey, when did you get here? I've been in the yard. Why didn't I see you? "
Angor chuckled. "Too many people have been looking for me lately. Just a little trick to weaken my presence."
There were thousands of wizardry spells in the world. Nausica thought it was something she didn't know. "Ever since you left last week, the number of apprentices has decreased a bit. But the mortals sent to spy on us increased a lot."
Nausica invited Angor into the house.
This was the first time he visited Nausica's place.
As Angor thought, Nausica's pursuit of immortality had almost no requirements for quality of life. Other than the furniture that was already there, the place was empty.
Angor asked Toby to go play by himself. "I've finished my work recently. I'm here to discuss the design of artificial limbs with you."
Nausica put away her relaxed expression and began to talk seriously.
Starting from Nausica's current condition, he recorded her wounds, the range of her electromyography, her mana sensitivity, the capacity of her meridians … and even her spirit power, brainwaves, and voice frequency.
These were all extremely private information.
It was important to note that there were many curses in the various branches of Sorcerers. They could use blood, hair, nails, and skin to curse people, and even cause death. Some of the information Angor found contained even more serious consequences. Wizards could use thousands of ways to turn Nausica into ashes if they wanted.
However, Nausica trusted Angor and answered almost all of his questions. She did not ask Angor about the meaning of the information, such as brainwaves and voice frequency. She had no idea what these had to do with artificial limbs. Still, she would answer every question Angor asked in detail.
Angor sighed in relief when he saw the girl's trust. This was because there were many things that were very troublesome for him to explain, especially to outsiders. Nausica's cooperative attitude made him feel very comfortable and touched.
Angor read the information carefully and tore off the paper in front of Nausica. "Don't worry. I've got it all in my head. I won't leak it unless someone cracks my head open."
Nausica chuckled. "I trust you."
After recording the data, he had completed half of his mission. Next was the unimportant part. Of course, for most women, this part was more important.
Exterior design.
Angor wrote down the amount of space he might need and handed the pen to Nausica so that she could design something she wanted within the scope of the existing space.
"You really want me to design it?" Nausica looked at Angor in disbelief. "My design can be used?"
Angor circled the space he calculated using the formula. "Keep these. You can do whatever you want with the rest. You're the one who wants to use it, so it's best if you like it. "
"It's pointless if it can't be used."
"Don't worry about that. I'll modify it so that it suits you as best as I can."
Nausica considered and blew out smoke rings. "Fine. I'm famous for my drawing skills in Blackberry Waters. I'm also the one who designed the pirate flag. Let's invite a master alchemist to examine it."
Nausica put down the pipe and took out a black band from her chest armor. She lifted her long hair and tied it into a ponytail. After making sure her hair would not affect her drawing, she began to draw her ideal "right hand" on the white paper.
While Nausica was drawing, Angor went through the data of her body and came up with possible structures in his mind.
A moment later, Nausica put down the pen. "Done."
Angor took the paper with a smile. Then his smile froze on his face. What were those black lines on the paper? That long body, coupled with the hook at the end of the tail, looked like a paramecium no matter how one looked at it.
"This is the symbol of Blackberry. I designed it to remind myself not to forget the past," Nausica explained while Angor studied the paper.
Angor was speechless. A Blackberry? Not a coil?
"This is the symbol of Brute Cavern. It represents the present."
Brute Cavern's symbol was a burning flame, and this straight line could be used as a ruler. Fire? Angor was speechless. Are you kidding me?
"The hook can be used as both a melee weapon and a hidden weapon. It represents the future." Nausica nodded. "That's right.
"The past, the present, and the future." Angor murmured, "Good idea. But … are you sure you're famous at Blackberry Waters? Or are all people in Blackberry Waters handicapped?
"Yeah. I remember my men called me the Soul Painter. I'm not interested in drawing, but I think it's a good title."
"Not bad … Not bad. But I think your aesthetic sense needs to be rewritten."
"You're saying I'm not good at drawing?" Nausica frowned.
"Aren't you a great pirate who ruled over an entire area? You must have seen a lot of famous paintings. I remember you were right about the ones in my room last time. "
"That's normal art. Mine is abstract."
Angor did not want to argue. He took the pen from the Soul Painter. "I know your design philosophy. Leave the past, present, and future to me. I don't understand your abstract work. "
Nausica lit her pipe and took a puff. "Fine. I'll trust you."
It was rare for them to get together, so they called Sailum and went to the Bartterfly Bar in the underground market to have some fun.
At night, Angor struggled through the crowd and returned to his home. Since Nausica was not in a hurry, Angor decided to tidy up his room first. He would put anything valuable or frequently used into his bracelet so that he would not lose them.
There were a lot of people in the area. The yard had a certain level of protection, but it was not impossible for someone to break in.
Angor decided to do this just in case.
When everything was done, including the collection in the soundproof room, Angor and Toby left the yard. Angor was surrounded by a group of people at the gate. Most of them were ordinary people, so he couldn't really do anything to them. "We won't accept any alchemy items for now. Please leave."
With that, Angor released a Melodious Illusion. It was not a large-scale illusion, but a very basic one used to conceal oneself. Angor's sudden disappearance only caught the attention of mortals. But for apprentices, they quickly saw through the simple illusion.
However, by the time they saw through the illusion nodes, Angor had already used "Alienation" and left the crowd.
"Not Apprentice Town Eight, but Apprentice Town Number One?" Angor asked Toby to lead the way. They soon found themselves at the other end of the Cave Field — Apprentice Town Number One.
"Your friend is in Apprentice Town Number One?" Angor remembered that most of the apprentices in Apprentice Town Number One were several years older than them. In other words, they were at least ten years older than them.
Toby shook his head. He did not go to Apprentice Town Number One. Instead, he walked toward the forest outside the town.
The forest was connected to a mountain range that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. There were only beasts in the area.
"He lives in the mountain?" Angor asked.
Toby nodded, then shook his head again. "Tweet tweet tweet tweet."
Angor widened his eyes in disbelief. "You mean your friend isn't a human? What's that? A beast? A bird? Wait … Something that can weave garlands and green leaves means it's intelligent. So, a monster? "
Toby shook his head again and gestured. Angor did not understand what Toby was talking about. What kind of flower was it? It smelled good, and it could fly … Was it a flower spirit?
Angor did not care. He would figure it out when he met Toby.
However, not long after he entered the mountain, he felt the "Alienation" effect on his body vibrating.
"Someone noticed me?" Angor frowned. Did he do something that attracted their attention? Or did someone use a prophecy spell to locate him?
