"You still haven't answered my question. You want these materials for alchemy?" Shadow asked.
Angor considered for a moment and nodded. "Yes, I do."
Shadow groaned a few times before he spoke in a pitiful tone, "Another one who's lost his mind."
Angor was confused by Shadow's disdainful tone and pitiful expression. This was the first person who had known about his alchemy since he had become an alchemist, yet he still acted so alienated.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to say something he would never do in the past. "Actually, I'm quite good at it."
Shadow didn't believe him.
Seeing that Shadow didn't believe him, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he continued to ask, "Is there an adept market nearby? I can go there to buy materials. "
Shadow sounded a little disappointed. "There are only two wizard markets in this big Fairy World, one in the north and the other in the south. I just came back from one of them, but it's quite far from here. If you want to go, you can find a map and follow it. There's a mark on it. "
"Far? How far? "Angor quickly asked.
"It's not in Gloom Continent. The nearest wizard market is a continent and a sea away from here." Shadow paused for a moment. "If you have a flying vehicle and enough energy, you should be able to get there in about two and a half months. If you don't … I suggest you don't go. "
Two and a half months even if I have a flying vehicle? Angor's heart skipped a beat. "How long will it take to leave Fairy World from here to the tree hole?"
Shadow noticed Angor's embarrassment and chuckled. "It's a bit farther than the wizard market. Maybe three or four months."
Three or four months even if I have a flying vehicle? Angor felt a little disappointed. There was no way he could make it in time for the purification garden's opening.
Angor quickly cheered up. It was fine if he couldn't go to the purification garden. The purification garden was only a bonus. It would make his path as a wizard smoother. Without it, he would still be walking on the same path.
With that in mind, Angor gave up on the idea of going to Floating Mech City. "Where can I get the materials then? These aren't rare materials. You said there's a Silent Hill nearby. You should be able to trade with someone there, right? "
"Sure, but Silent Hill is thousands of miles away from here. Are you sure you want to go?" Shadow said nonchalantly.
"Let's go!" Without a means of transportation, it would be impossible to leave Fairy Tale World even if they walked for decades. Therefore, the creation of a transportation vehicle was an urgent matter.
Shadow took out a map, drew an "X" on it, and handed it to Angor.
"Here's the map of Fairy Tale World. I've marked the location of Silent Hill for you." Shadow took out the clock and looked at it. It was 2: 38 am.
There were seven continents in Fairy World, each of which belonged to its own continent, surrounded by a boundless sea. According to the map, the continent he was on was about the size of Africa on Earth. Among the seven continents of Fairy Tale World, the Nether Continent ranked third in terms of land area.
The exit of Fairy Tale World was located at the edge of another Crescent Continent, separated from the Nether Continent by a vast ocean.
The more he looked at the map, the more depressed he felt.
Fairy Tale World was only an affiliated plane, yet it was already so big. How big was Fey Continent, which was countless times bigger than Fairy Tale World? Even if it took him half a year to leave Fairy Tale World, how long would it take him to return to Brute Cavern? How long would it take him to return to the Old Earth? Would he be able to return home within three years?
Angor didn't want to show too much emotion in front of others. He put away the map quietly.
"Thank you." Angor thanked Shadow. The map was part of his promise, but it was still a free gift, so he had to thank Shadow verbally.
Shadow took out the clock and checked it again. There were still ten minutes until 3 am.
"You're not leaving?" Shadow felt a prickling sensation in his heart. He hurriedly added, "I think it's time for you to leave."
After saying this, An Ying felt much better in his heart.
"Wait a moment, I still have a question to ask you." Angor didn't want to get involved, but he had to at least finish his questions. "How do I get to Darkivil Empire after leaving Fairy Tale World?"
"Darkivil Empire?" Darkshadow thought for a moment before he remembered what the Darkfiend Kingdom was. "You mean, the Darkfiend Kingdom in the core world?"
"Yes. The capital of Darkivil Empire is Midnight Sovereign. I'm going there."
Shadow looked at Angor and asked, "You're an apprentice from Brute Cavern?"
Brute Cavern was the largest wizard organization around Darkivil Empire. Shadow waved a hand. "I don't want to know where you're from. I'm just asking. It doesn't matter if you answer or not."
"Yes. I'm from Brute Cavern." Since Shadow already knew, Angor didn't want to hide it anymore. Or rather, Angor didn't want to hide his identity in the first place.
"So you're from Brute Cavern. No wonder you're so good at illusions. Phantom Master is from Brute Cavern. " Shadow clicked his tongue. "Once you leave Fairy World, it's too slow for you to return to Brute Cavern on foot or on a vehicle. Even if you go at full speed, it'll take you at least eight to ten years. Unless … "
"Unless what?" He could not afford to wait for eight or ten years. He did not have that much time to waste on traveling.
"Unless you use a teleportation array. Actually, Silent Hill has one as well. You just need to have enough magic crystals to use it." As soon as Shadow said that, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He covered his heart and cursed under his breath. Then he quickly added, "Although there are many wizard organizations that provide teleportation services, I don't recommend you to choose the teleportation circle. Apprentices usually don't have strong enough bodies to travel long distances. Unless you can find a wizard who's willing to protect you, or you've injected a defensive bloodline into your body, you'll easily disintegrate during teleportation. "
Shadow let out a long sigh of relief. This damned Kurna Contract was so toxic! How could it be possible that Kurna's Contract was so toxic! He only wanted to hide the consequences of using a teleportation array, and now he was being punished.
That … that seat … Shadow's heart ached again when he thought about Angor's seat.
"There's a teleportation array in Silent Hill?" Angor's eyes widened.
Shadow held back his discomfort and nodded. "Yes, there is. But there's no teleportation array that leads directly to Brute Cavern. As I said, apprentices can't handle long-distance teleportation. "
"Is there a teleportation array that leads to Floating Mech City?"
"Floating Mech City?" "Why do you want to go to Floating Mech City?" Shadow asked with a strange expression.
"Is there one?"
Shadow nodded. "Yes. Floating Mech City is a neutral organization. It has good relations with many wizard organizations. But your body can't handle long-distance teleportation. "
"I'm an alchemist. I can make defensive armor. Or … I can exchange defensive bloodlines with someone in Silent Hill."
Sunders once told him that the best bloodline for him was the bloodline of a nightmare monster, and that he shouldn't transplant bloodlines for no good reason. However, there were urgent matters to attend to. It was impossible for him to spend a few decades on the road.
"Bloodlines aren't cheap. You really think you can get one?"
"I'm an alchemist. At least I don't need money now," Angor emphasized again.
"Well, even if you can exchange for it, do you think you will succeed in injecting the bloodline?" "Fine, I won't discourage you. I just want to know why you want to go to Floating Mech City. Floating Mech City doesn't have a portal to Brute Cavern either. "
"Why do you care so much about where I'm going?"
Shadow shrugged. "I don't care. I'm asking because I'm from Floating Mech City."
Angor was surprised by Shadow's answer. He did not expect to meet someone from Floating Mech City in such a roundabout way.
Before Angor could say anything, the clock in Shadow's hand clicked.
It was three o'clock in the morning.
He suddenly heard strange laughter coming from another dimension. "Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee."
This is …
As he tried to figure out the source of the laughter, he suddenly sensed danger. A numb and itchy feeling spread from his scalp to his spine, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"Ah —" Angor screamed in pain.
Below his heart, a small door with a layer of blood was slowly being pushed open.
Then, three Krakoks with giggling faces walked out of the door.
As the door closed, blood began to gush out from the wound on Angor's chest. The severe pain and blood loss made Angor unable to think properly before he was sucked into a dark whirlpool.
Shadow grinned when he saw Angor lying on the ground. "You chose that seat yourself. I told you to leave, but you refused to do so. Don't blame me. "
Every night at three o 'clock in the morning, the three Krakoks would come out from that seat. If someone was sitting there, they would still open the door on time.
Opening the door from inside someone's body? Interesting.
Shadow covered his face and laughed out loud when he saw Mask bleeding on the ground. Kurna Contract? I'm the one who broke it!
No matter how perfect the contract is, it can't stop someone who wants to die!
Toby's fur bristled when he saw Angor lying on the ground. Needless to say, it could understand human language, so it could tell that the one who caused its little master to fall to the ground was the shadow!
Toby quickly took out some bandages from his Snowy Feather and tried to tie the wound.
"Huh? Where did you get that? " Shadow looked at Toby's movements, and a hint of doubt flashed through his eyes. Could it be that this bird had a space storage on it?
A space storage?! Greed flashed in Shadow's eyes. Many wizards didn't even have a portal tool, and a bird had one?
