The hallway was dark and quiet.
Lamps on the wall illuminated the path every once in a while. Kazar led the way, while Angor followed behind him.
Who was Mithra? Angor had no idea. Shadow mentioned the name once in Silent Hill, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Angor didn't understand why this Mithra wanted to meet him all of a sudden.
Judging from how Kazar addressed Mithra, Angor assumed that the man was at least a wizard-level wizard. As a junior, Angor had no choice but to accept an invitation from a wizard-level wizard.
No matter who Mithra was or what he wanted, Angor should be safe inside Bogula's mansion.
Angor turned a corner and saw Shadow leaning against a wall.
"Leave the rest to me, Steward Kazar." Shadow sent Kazar away and walked to Angor.
"Are you surprised to see me?" Shadow smirked.
"Let's go. I'll take you to Mister Mithra." Shadow gestured for Angor to follow. "Don't worry. It took me a lot of effort to convince Mister Mithra to come here. As long as you can impress him, my professor won't be able to do anything to you."
"Who's he?" Angor finally asked.
Shadow shushed Angor and spoke in a low voice, "Remember to call him 'Master'. Many wizards who are stronger than him have to call him 'Master'. As for you, just call him 'Mister' like me. "
With that, Shadow briefly introduced Mithra to Angor.
Mithra was an alchemist who had already reached the level of a master alchemist. He was an expert in Apothecary, but he also had some achievements in Tooling. Mithra was barely a wizard-level wizard, but he was still respected by everyone in Floating Mech City.
Of course, this "respect" was mostly due to Mithra's alchemy achievements, but it was also due to Mithra's influence on Bogula.
"Mithra is my professor's mentor, and my professor respects him a lot. Mithra can even influence my professor's decisions in many matters. He's the only one in the city who can defeat you without relying on his strength. " "I've been thinking about Mister Mithra for a long time now, but he's been in seclusion for two months now. I thought I wouldn't be able to find him."
"But I didn't expect him to suddenly end his seclusion at night. I immediately ran to him and told him about you. He heard that you had come into contact with the mysterious plane. He was very interested in you and came over overnight. "
Shadow thought Angor was worried about Mithra's attitude and tried to comfort him. "Mister Mithra is an academism wizard. He's always gentle. Don't worry."
Angor nodded in agreement.
Of course, he was grateful for Shadow's help. However, he was still nervous about facing a master alchemist.
Soon, they arrived at the living room. While he was still outside the curtains, he could already hear the whispers inside.
Shadow and Angor lifted the curtain and entered the room.
The first thing Angor saw was an old man sitting on a sofa with a monocle on his monocle. He was examining a bottle of green potion in his hand.
The old man's hair was orange, but it looked a little withered. There were also some black curls that looked like they were burnt by fire.
His clothes were also very simple. The only thing worth noticing was that there were many metal rings and metal nets on his exposed skin. Angor read about them in a book. They were a type of metal external joint, which was used to assist alchemy.
This old man must be the "Mister Mithra" Shadow mentioned.
Apart from Mithra, there were two other people in the living room. One was Toya, who was holding Doodle in his arms, while the other was a bulky middle-aged man. The whispers they had heard outside the curtains had come from them.
Angor looked at the burly man with a strange look. He felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
"You're here, Diablo?" The old man spoke in a gentle voice. "You must be Angor."
Angor looked at the old man and nodded.
The man smiled and looked at Angor from head to toe. A moment later, the light in his eyes disappeared and he closed his eyes to think.
As he pondered, the burly man on the other side began to observe Angor as well. After looking at it for a while, he muttered, "Why does it look so familiar?"
"Sit here." Mithra opened his eyes and asked, "You almost created a Mystery item?"
"Diablo has told me everything. Isabelle reappeared in the southern region and stole half of the Mystery Soul you created." Shadow was about to say something modest when Mithra skipped the topic and went straight to the point.
"The other half of the Spirit of Mystery fused into the weapon you forged. Even if it's only half, it should still contain some Mystery power. The reason I'm here today is to ask if you can let me take a look at that weapon? "
Angor didn't say anything for a while.
Mithra didn't urge him. As an alchemist himself, he knew he was being rude. The weapon was Angor's secret, and it might even be his trump card. Even Mithra himself wouldn't agree to show it to someone else.
But Mithra still brought it up because he really wanted to know the pattern of Mystery power. He used to borrow a lot of Mystery items, but he never found anything useful due to the strong Mystery energy. Now that he finally saw a "half-step" Mystery item, he couldn't wait any longer.
"I know I'm being rude, but if you can let me take a look, you can make a request of me. As long as it doesn't go against my values and I can do it, I'll do it," Mithra said.
Angor considered and took out Prelude to Rebirth from his bracelet.
Instead of looking at the strange-looking weapon, Mithra looked at Angor's space bracelet.
Mithra's eyes glowed again, but this time, they had a faint golden hue to them.
"A very good spatial bracelet with compound effects. This bracelet of yours should be engraved with an amazing magic array. I've never seen this magic array before." Mithra considered for a moment. "But judging from the patterns on it, it should be some kind of invisibility item, right?"
"Yes. It's called Infinite Reticence," Angor answered.
Mithra's eyes lit up. "You made the bracelet yourself?"
"Yes." Angor nodded.
When Angor admitted this fact, everyone in the room was surprised. Space storage was a rare item, and a composite one at that!
The burly man beside Mithra looked at Angor's bracelet with a greedy look. He was a wizard now, but he didn't have a space storage yet.
"Enchantment of a magic array isn't easy. Not only did you do it, but you also did it at the same time." Before this, Mithra was looking at Angor as if he was looking at a talented young man. But now, he felt a sense of kinship. He knew how difficult it was to do two things at the same time. Not only that, he had to engrave two magic arrays at the same time and connect them from end to end. Even master alchemists couldn't do such a thing.
"You don't have enough mana now. You used an Energy Stabilizer, right? "
"Yes."
"I think you'll need at least a few thousand magic crystals. If you fail the first time, try again … Tsk, tsk. Young man, you're really brave. I wouldn't have done this when I was your age. "Mithra chuckled as he revealed the truth, which shocked everyone again.
Taking Prelude to Rebirth, Mithra's eyes glowed with golden light as he examined the gun.
While Mithra was busy looking around, Shadow crept closer to Angor and pointed at Angor's bracelet with a flattering smile. "When I get the materials, can you make one for me too?"
Angor nodded. Shadow had helped him a lot, and he didn't mind helping him with his alchemy.
"Me too!" Tu Ya came over and blinked his eyes cutely.
Shadow pushed Toya away. "Get out of my way. Don't interrupt when adults are talking."
Tu Yao pursed his lips and released Du Du to bite Shadow. Shadow screamed in pain and ordered Gami to cut Shadow's head off.
Soon, the sofa became a chaotic battlefield.
A moment later, Mithra looked up and put away his monocle.
"Do you have a name for this weapon?"
"It's called a gun, and I call it … Prelude to Rebirth."
"Prelude to Rebirth." Mithra clicked his tongue and pointed at the gun's magazine. "I've never seen the magic array on it before. I think it's used to kill undead creatures. But there's something strange in this magazine. Can you tell me what it is? "
"It's ammunition. But I don't know what it does."
Mithra could tell that Angor wasn't lying. He nodded. "I used Narda's Vision on it. There's a Mystery effect in it. I think it's caused by the other half of the Mystery spirit. "
"I won't ask. I've learned a lot this time. Thank you for your generosity." Mithra handed the gun back to Angor.
Mithra asked a few more questions about the Mystery spirit. However, he didn't ask about the weapon's special effects, nor did he ask how Angor survived the omen. He respected Angor's privacy. Angor felt very comfortable talking to Mithra.
They chatted for a while longer, and Mithra was satisfied with Angor's knowledge. But it was getting late, and Toya kept yawning, so Mithra stood up and left with the bulky man.
Before leaving, Mithra said to Angor, "I'll be staying at Elixir Hut for a while. I'm looking forward to talking to you."
"Of course! I'll take Angor there tomorrow!" Shadow answered before Angor could answer.
After Mithra left, Shadow smiled and said, "Mister Mithra's words should be enough to lift your ban. Mister Mithra has also given you a promise. I'm sure Mister Mithra won't just sit by and watch if Mentor really wants to deal with you."
Angor returned to his bedroom and was surprised by the conversation he had with Mithra. It was the first time he saw a wizard talking to an apprentice in such a friendly manner.
Only focusing on skills and not on levels. Perhaps this was the demeanor of a Master Alchemist.
However, Angor still had a question about the bulky man.
Who was he? Why did he feel so familiar?
