Under the intertwining light and shadow, the man's face in the backlight was dim but even more profound. His expression was indifferent, but there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes.
The familiar black gentleman's suit, the white laced gloves, the black short cane, and the golden studs on his earlobes all revealed the identity of the person who had just arrived.
Sunders?!
He still had a piece of bread in his mouth. Due to the sudden shock, he opened his mouth and the bread fell to the ground.
Angor didn't feel like meeting someone after such a long time. It had only been half a year. However, ever since he lost contact with Sunders at Midnight Sovereign, he had imagined meeting someone he knew many times. He didn't expect to meet someone so suddenly at Floating Mech City.
"What? You don't recognize me? "The man's voice sounded a little hoarse, and there was a hint of a smile on his face.
"Um … um … sir," Angor replied in surprise.
Mithra and Yeliya looked at each other and exchanged a look that only they could understand. Mithra stepped forward with a smile. "I didn't expect to see you here, Mister Phantom. I was going to pay you a visit myself."
Sabot also came out from behind Sunders and greeted Mithra with a relieved look.
Mithra noticed something from Sabot's expression, but he didn't ask about it right away. "Mister Phantom, why don't you come in for a chat?"
Did Mithra already know that Sunders was his teacher? Angor suddenly realized something. So Mithra was being nice to him because of Sunders?
"Ah, 'Potion Maker' Mithra, Master Mithra. Let's talk inside. Angor and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss him a lot. I have something to discuss with him first."
Sunders' words were not only for Mithra's ears, but also for all the wizards who were watching them.
"I see. I won't keep Angor here any longer." Mithra smiled at Angor. "Like I said, Angor. The door of the Elixir Hut is always open. You're always welcome to talk to me."
He didn't care what Mithra was thinking, but what he learned today was real.
"I heard from Mad Bear that you're discussing alchemy with my student, Master Sunders?"
"Indeed, they had a pleasant conversation. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a master. Maybe he can even reach the Mystery tier. "Mithra nodded." Besides, Angor taught me a lot of things. "
Mithra's words sounded humble to the others. However, all the wizards who were paying attention to Angor heard what he said.
Sanders smiled. This was the answer he wanted from Mithra, and he asked the question on purpose. It seemed like Mithra was quite smart as well.
He could feel at least a hundred pairs of eyes watching the Potion Hut from afar. Some of them were extremely powerful figures, such as the two city lords of Floating Mech City, who were also watching the battle.
This was why Sunders expressed his intention to protect Angor with his fists, especially to the two city lords. He wanted them to think carefully about Angor's strength before the garden of purification opened.
But at the same time, he also knew that his act of protecting Angor was a double-edged sword. As the "God of Slaughter" in the southern wizardry region, Sunders had killed a lot of people. They couldn't kill him, but they could kill Angor. Considering Sunders' cold attitude toward apprentices, his enemies wouldn't do anything to Angor. After all, even if Angor died, Sunders wouldn't be able to do anything.
However, now that he was showing his affection and protection to Angor, his enemies would start to sharpen their weapons.
Therefore, Sunders purposely asked Mithra about the "alchemy exchange". Mithra understood what Sunders was trying to say, so he quickly explained Angor's "value" to the public.
Angor was extremely talented in alchemy. He was definitely going to become a master alchemist in the future. He might even reach the level of a "Mystery Alchemist".
With this, Sunders' enemies would have to think twice before doing anything to Angor. After all, they didn't hate Angor at all. Befriending a future master alchemist was much better than offending a master alchemist.
Sunders and Mithra's exchange of questions revealed a lot of hidden meanings.
Since Mithra agreed to Sunders' request, Sunders would naturally go easy on Bogula as well. They didn't say it out loud, but they already knew about it.
"Let's go. I have a lot to ask you." Sunders gestured Angor to come closer.
Angor scratched his head and thanked Mithra and Yeliya again before he joined Sunders.
Sunders nodded at Angor's politeness. The others who were watching them would also know that Angor was more inclined toward the "academism" faction. In this case, apart from a few extreme haters, most of his enemies would also consider his attitude.
As Angor moved closer, Sunders smelled the strong scent of milk. He glanced at the dusty soufflé nearby and smiled. He thought Angor would grow up a little after going out for a while. But he didn't expect Angor to be so obsessed with milk.
As soon as they stepped out of the Elixir Hut, a glowing red vortex appeared in front of them.
Next, a giant fist came down from the sky and smashed toward them.
In the nick of time, Sunders grabbed Angor's collar and backed away. As soon as Angor moved away, the fist landed on the ground and created a giant crater. Water gushed out from the ground and quickly gathered into a lake.
Angor's face turned pale at the sudden attack. If Sunders did not pull him back, the attack would have turned him into a pile of minced meat.
The vortex in the sky slowly dissipated, and a red-haired man wearing a purple soft armor walked out of it.
"Bogula." Sunders gave him a sarcastic smile. "I just let you go, and now you're here to die."
Bogula gave him a vicious look. "Jajaja. I don't need your pity. Either you die today, or I —"
Before Bogula could finish, someone hit him hard on the back of his head.
A young man in a black robe appeared behind Bogula and put his hand on Bogula's head. "Forgive my rudeness. I apologize on behalf of Bogula, Mister Phantom."
Angor noticed that the newcomer was a young man with a cold face. However, his voice was too cold to be real. It sounded like a Rune Detector's voice. Also, Angor could see traces of metal on the man's arms, legs, and neck. He looked more like a robot than a living person.
"Mister Beast Emperor." Sunders glanced to the side and saw Mithra walking out of the Elixir Hut again. Sunders considered the fact that Mithra and Bogula were working together, so he decided to let the matter go. "Forget it then."
"Lawson! Let go of me! "Bogula's voice was laced with anger.
Lawson didn't care. Instead, he kept Bogula under control and signaled Sunders to leave.
Bogula watched Sunders leave and didn't say a word.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to Allure Abyss."
"Are you sure? Even I have less than one percent chance of survival there. "Lawson lowered his voice and spoke directly into Bogula's ears.
"I'm going." Bogula watched Sunders and Angor disappear into the distance with a ferocious expression.
"Good." Lawson grinned as if he already knew what Bogula was going to do.
On the other side, Sunders brought Angor to his temporary residence. It was a noble's manor surrounded by trees and flowers, far away from the city center.
"Rune Monitor", the mechanical butler, quickly approached Sunders and greeted him. "Welcome home, Master. It's been 33 years since you last came back. Number One missed you, Master. "
Sunders pointed at Angor. "Number One, set him as the second authority of the manor."
Number One nodded. A red light flashed across its screen and scanned Angor's face. "Mister Padt, I'm at your service," he said respectfully after learning some basic information from Angor.
"Number One, take us to the study," Sunders ordered.
Number One quickly floated to the front and led the way.
"I bought this manor a hundred years ago when I was living in Floating Mech City," Sunders said. "This is Number One, the butler of the manor. He's in charge of everything here. If you have any requests, you can ask him. "
A hundred years ago, Sunders came to Floating Mech City because he still had a glimmer of hope in alchemy. However, reality was cruel. Sunders had no talent in alchemy at all. After trying for 20 years, he had to give up.
Of course, Sunders wouldn't tell Angor about his "tragic" past. He simply used "living in Floating Mech City" as an excuse.
Angor was about to say something when Sunders suddenly tapped him with a finger and teleported him to an open-air library.
Above him was a blue sky, and around him were bookshelves filled with books. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and he could hear the roars of beasts.
"This is the Gravity Garden." Sunders suddenly showed up beside Angor.
