In the clear blue sky, a small, exquisite and dreamy boat leisurely sailed over from the end of the clouds amidst the lingering mist.
The bottom of the boat was covered with water ripples that looked like a boat sailing on the sea. There was even some white foam on the bottom of the boat. Although the boat seemed to be traveling at a leisurely pace, it was actually moving faster than anyone could imagine. One second ago, they were looking at a mountain range, and the next, they saw a boundless grassland.
The two ends of the boat were tilted upward like a crescent moon.
There were carvings of suns, moons, and stars on both ends of the boat. Together with a translucent curtain that covered the "moon", the boat looked even more dreamy.
There were four people in the boat, three men and one woman. One of them, a man with an innocent face, was sleeping in a small room at the back of the boat. The other three were all in the front yard.
One of them, a handsome man, was lying on a table in the middle of the room while sighing in despair.
"You have your own flying vehicle. Why are you using my Gondola?" Angor was resting on a deck chair with his eyes closed. However, Shadow's sighs kept echoing in his ears. It would be fine if he could hold it in for a while, but he had been sighing for a long time already.
Shadow gave Angor a pitiful look. "I'm already like this, and you still want to see me make a fool of myself? Besides, your boat — "
"Gondola," Angor corrected him.
"Alright. Besides, your Gondola is pretty big, and it's faster than my Battle Cloak. Since you're going to drive it alone, it doesn't matter if there's one more person." As Shadow spoke, he touched the intricate patterns on the walls of Gondola and looked at the Dreamsky Veil that enveloped the entire ship. His eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. Such a dazzling and cool flying vehicle with a speed close to that of a mid-grade flying vehicle would probably cost a few thousand magic crystals at an auction. But Angor just made it so easily. What an annoying alchemist!
Angor rolled his eyes. A knight's cloak? More like a lady's cloak.
He didn't mind having an extra person and a puppet on the ship. As Shadow said, it didn't matter if he was alone or with four people on the ship. He didn't mind having more people on the ship.
"I don't mind giving you a ride, but can't you stop sighing? What's there to be sad about? "Angor sighed helplessly.
Shadow sighed because he was forced to return the hundreds of shadows he had collected in Water Grasse.
The story started from yesterday. It didn't take long for Leonrick to hear about his return to Water Grasse with Shadow.
His daughter was getting weaker day by day, and his wife was crying every night. Leonrick pondered for a long time before he wrote his will. Holding on to his last hope and the determination to risk his life, he visited Angor's villa in Bay Area alone in the middle of the night.
Since he was going to leave Water Grasse the next day, he canceled the illusion around his mansion. When Leonrick knocked on the door, it was Granny Trusan who opened the door. With Angor's permission, Leonrick entered the room and talked to Shadow directly.
Leonrick knelt in front of Shadow and prayed that Shadow would return the shadows to his people and his daughter.
Shadow scoffed. Of course he wouldn't. Angor didn't help him either.
However, in the end, An Ying agreed to it. When Naga found out the truth, she was jealous. Jealous! Jealous!
Shadow didn't know what to do when Naga was jealous. After comparing the value of Naga and the mortal shadows, Shadow had no choice but to return his collection to Leonrick.
Because of this, Leonrick had been crying for an entire day.
"That's my collection from the past few years!" Shadow kept crying. In the end, even the three Gami brothers came out to comfort him.
She was sighing earlier, and now she was crying? Angor glanced at Naga, who was also rolling her eyes. However, since Shadow was her master, Naga couldn't do anything to him. Besides, she was the cause of all this, so she had no choice but to hold her anger.
Naga saw Angor looking at her and quickly made a hand gesture: Sew his mouth shut!
Angor already wanted to do something, but he didn't dare to do so in front of Naga. Now that Naga was urging him to do something, Angor grinned wickedly and pointed at Shadow.
An aura with a nightmare effect fell between Shadow's eyebrows.
Shadow wasn't prepared at all, so he was caught off guard and fell into the trap.
Shadow turned around in surprise. "Ah!" he said for a long time, but he realized that he could only open his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. He pointed at Angor with a "you betrayed me" look.
Angor didn't mind it at all.
Shadow looked at Naga with a pitiful expression, hoping the woman would help him. However, Naga 'misunderstood' his meaning. She pulled him into her arms and hugged him so tightly that he could not move.
Finally, peace!
Angor gave Naga a thumbs-up and closed his eyes to pretend he was having a nice nap.
In fact, Angor was actually trying to recall the notebook given to him by his professor, which recorded almost all the cantrips in the school of illusions.
Now that he had learned enough basic cantrips, he could focus on advanced illusions.
He didn't know much about illusions. His illusions were pretty good, but he wasn't good at using them to kill people. Also, he had to choose a new school soon, which he didn't know yet. He needed to learn more illusions to figure it out.
He went through the notes in his mind and slowly focused on the level-1 cantrip, "Fear".
It was a level-1 Mind Manipulator cantrip. By manipulating one's desires, the cantrip could evoke fear in others.
Angor once used a similar trick on Tyrael, one of the two best doctors in Water Grasse. Back then, he used nightmare aura to create illusions of ghosts to scare Tyrael.
However, Fear wasn't the same as simply scaring someone.
Everyone had a different standard for fear. Some people were afraid of ghosts, some of them were afraid of beasts, and some of them were simply afraid of something in the past, a certain person, or a certain environment. Under such circumstances, it wasn't possible to truly intimidate someone with just one move, until the Art of Fear was born.
Angor spent half a day reading the cantrip and had a general idea of what it was.
If a normal Fear cantrip could induce fear in people, what if he used a nightmare illusion on Gideon? Would the fear materialize into a physical object?
Angor did some calculations and realized that it was possible.
With that in mind, Angor decided to make Fear his top priority for now.
Also, Fear was a Mind Manipulator cantrip. Mind Illusions was a branch of the Illusionary Department. It was an Illusionary subject that combined the thoughts of desires and emotions by analyzing the changes in the human heart and understanding the details.
He planned to learn a few cantrips from each branch of illusions so that he could determine the direction of his illusions in the future.
…
Night had just arrived, and the sky was filled with stars.
The starry night made Gondola look even more beautiful and ethereal.
In the originally quiet cabin, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the small compartment at the back.
Angor opened his eyes.
Shadow, who was sitting in front of him, also opened his eyes and looked at Angor.
"That little pet of yours seems to be hungry?" An Ying said with a grin.
Angor glanced at Shadow and noticed that Shadow had removed the "mute" effect. He then looked at the nightmare aura around Naga's finger and realized something.
Angor ignored Shadow's joke and whispered, "Dodoro." Dodoro's voice came from the compartment behind him.
Angor turned around and walked into the compartment.
Dodoro saw Angor's arrival and gave him a friendly smile. Angor sat down in front of Dodoro and took out some food and water from his bracelet. Dodoro rubbed his stomach in embarrassment.
"Let's eat." Dodoro shyly picked up the food and began to eat slowly.
Angor rested his chin on his hand and looked at Dodoro. Perhaps it was because of Granny Trusan's teaching, or Dodoro's natural behavior.
He recalled what Granny Trusan told him last night. "Dodoro can understand most of the basic words now, but I'm not sure how to use them. But … he's a bit too introverted.
He can talk to people now, but he'll hide in his shell and refuse to say anything when there's an outsider around. "
Angor didn't notice Granny Trusan's words at first because Dodoro was always friendly to him. However, Dodoro didn't say a word ever since they boarded the Gondola, just like she said. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Angor had no choice but to put Dodoro in a separate compartment. Angor couldn't do anything about Dodoro's cowardice for now. He would have to wait and see if he could change it.
When Dodoro finished his meal, Angor suddenly remembered something. "Where's your bowl?"
Halfway through his question, he paused. Shadow was still outside, and it wasn't appropriate for him to ask about the "bowl" now. Besides, Shadow seemed to be interested in Akeso of Pocratee.
Angor recalled that Dodoro only brought a cloth bag with him when he left. He put the bag inside his bracelet.
Angor reached his spirit feelers inside and quickly found Dodoro's bag.
Inside the bag, he saw the bowl.
Since the bowl was still there, Angor felt relieved.
Just as he was about to withdraw his power of the Will from the bracelet, he noticed that the Krakoks were busy planting vegetables and planting the fruit tree saplings that the hummingbird knights gave them.
Everyone was busy preparing for their future. Even the children were watering the fields. Granny Papaya was the only one who was sitting on the stairs of the building with a cheese bun beside her. She would invite people to come and eat from time to time.
Everyone understood that Granny Trusan couldn't work because she couldn't walk properly. However, Granny Trusan felt a little guilty, so she had to do what she could to help.
When everyone was done, Granny Trusan would call the children to her side and read them a storybook.
"You can read?" Angor's voice reached Granny Trusan's ears.
Granny Trusan was a little surprised. When she saw that no one around her responded, she realized that Angor was talking to her.
"Yes, I can." Granny Trusan looked a little embarrassed.
Angor considered for a moment. He didn't have time to teach Dodoro, and he didn't know how long he would be away. It wouldn't be good if Dodoro became lazy because he didn't study for a long time.
Angor didn't want to disturb the Krakoks, but since Granny Trusan seemed to be fine, he might as well use this chance to teach Dodoro something.
He also hoped that Dodoro could open up his mind by talking to Granny Trusan.
"Alright then. I have a task for you."
