What a contradictory person.
Keely noticed Angor's gaze and gave him a displeased look.
Angor didn't know what to say. So I'm being shunned?
Kanter noticed Keely's reaction and sighed. "Keely went through a lot when she was young. That's why —"
"Professor!" Keely's voice sounded hoarse. She was clearly displeased.
"Fine, fine. I won't mention it." Kanter shook his head. "But you'll have to get over it sooner or later."
Angor found the conversation between Keely and Kanter interesting. Not only did Keely dare to interrupt her teacher, but she also forced Kanter to back off. Angor was surprised by this.
Maybe Kanter and Keely were related? Otherwise, Keely's behavior was too much. Not to mention respecting her teacher, she didn't even have the respect that an official Magus should have.
Kanter took over the job of introducing Angor to Keely first. Angor nodded to Keely in a cooperative manner.
Keely lowered her head and remained silent.
Kanter gave Angor an apologetic look and began to explain Keely's background.
Keely was 16 years old, the same age as Angor. However, she joined the wizarding world much earlier than Angor. She had been training for seven years and was now a level-2 apprentice. She was a Fire Elementalist, but her main target was Netherfire, which was a very special type of fire.
Keely didn't look too happy when Kanter introduced her. She tried to stop Kanter from talking, but she didn't want to lose her manners in front of Sunders again. Not only would she not be able to maintain a good relationship with Angor in the future, but she would also lose Sunders' approval.
Kanter decided to use his wizard's aura to suppress her and make her unable to move.
Sunders only shook his head and chuckled.
"Keely is too willful. Please forgive her, old friend," Kanter sent a voice transmission.
"It doesn't matter if I do or not. I'm not the star of the show today." Sunders also sent a voice transmission.
Kanter knew why Keely was here, so he looked at Angor.
Angor didn't care about Keely's rudeness at all. He didn't have a bad impression of Keely. She was a little willful, but since she didn't mind, he didn't need to care about her behavior. Still, Keely's little tricks made him feel a little uncomfortable. This was Angor's teacher's residence. As a student, he did not dare to do anything inappropriate. But as a guest, it was a little inappropriate to do so.
"Sigh. She witnessed her parents' death at Rambo Island when she was young, so she became very introverted and isolated. She doesn't like humans apart from me. I took her to many wizards over the years, but none of them worked. So I took her to see 'Mini' ''s name. "
Kanter sent a voice transmission to both Sunders and Angor. Since Keely didn't want him to say it to her face, he would do it in secret.
"Miniature World, Dumartin Bayer?"
"Yes, that's him." Kanter sighed.
Angor knew who Kanter was referring to. The man was a wizard from Brute Cavern, and he was known for his "cruel brain experiments" that terrified the apprentices. The quests he left in the questing hall were often sold at the highest price, but no one dared to accept them. They were afraid that they would lose their brains if they became his assistants.
"I asked Dumartin to examine her brain and found that there are many changes in her cerebral cortex. There are many more synapses. There are a lot of neurons in the brain, and they're causing her to sink into her own world. She can't even control herself. " Kanter shook his head. "Dumartin said it's a kind of brain disease. She can't get rid of it with psychotherapy unless she wants to see the outside world on her own."
"But you saw it for yourself. Apart from me, she's always cold and hostile to other people. "
According to Kanter's description, Angor assumed that the boy was autistic. If Keely was diagnosed with autism, then all her previous actions would be justified. According to the information he read about autistic children, they were all self-willed and lost themselves in their own world. It was already a great improvement for Kanter to teach Keely to fear the power of a high-ranking wizard.
With that in mind, he felt a little better about Keely.
"Keely Roland Lilith," Sunders said. "I remember when you introduced your student to Flora fifty years ago, the person who came was called Roland. Is that right? She's Keely's relative? "
Kanter nodded sadly. "Yes. Heidi Roland is Keely's mother. She was killed by Flunza together with Shelly at Ramwave Island ten years ago. Shelly was Heidi's husband. Young Keely witnessed it all. "
"'God of Sea' Flunza … It's going to be hard for the little one to get her revenge." Sunders didn't care about Keely's tragedy. Instead, he began to talk about the enemy of Keely's family.
"God of Sea" Flunza was a truth-finder wizard from Song of the Deep who rarely came to land. However, he was one of the best in the wizarding world when it came to controlling water.
"Song of the Deep …" Kanter slowly explained the name of this large wizard organization. Lilith's Clan had quite a number of powerful fighters, but they were still much weaker than Song of the Deep.
After some time, Kanter sighed and sent a voice transmission to Angor with a kind smile. "Keely isn't born this way, Angor. She's a very kind girl. I hope you can forgive her."
Angor didn't know what Keely's story had to do with him. However, in order not to be rude, he still nodded in agreement.
Since they were talking in private, they didn't say anything for a long time. It took Keely a while to realize something was wrong. She began to observe the mana ripples around her. Of course, Keely couldn't see through Sunders and Kanter's Voice Transmission spell. But Angor's Voice Transmission spell was still too weak for her to detect.
She glared at Angor in dissatisfaction.
Kanter noticed the change in the atmosphere and patted Keely's head helplessly. "I have something to discuss with Angor. He's an excellent alchemist, and we're talking about alchemy. Don't blame him."
Keely's anger subsided a little. She lowered her head and remained silent.
No one spoke a word.
Sunders didn't want to interrupt, Angor didn't know what to say, and Keely kept her mouth shut. In the end, Kanter raised his eyebrows and asked Angor, "You're going to join the purification garden, right?"
Angor didn't know what was going to happen in the garden. But since Kanter told him that there were dangers as well as opportunities, and he came to Floating Mech City in person, he must be here to encourage him to join.
"Yes." Angor nodded.
"Good. Keely will join the garden as well. You two can take care of each other."
By "take care of each other", Kanter meant Keely taking care of Angor. In Kanter's opinion, Angor must have spent a lot of time studying alchemy, which meant the boy wasn't that strong. Keely, on the other hand, was an offensive wizard who specialized in fire. She was definitely stronger than Angor.
Keely didn't like Kanter's arrangement.
Kanter sent a voice transmission to Keely. "Angor already agreed to make a magic item for me. I even gave him a deposit. If something happens to him in the garden, I'll lose a lot. You don't want to see a lonely old man like me being disappointed, right? "
Keely looked at Kanter carefully, trying to figure out if he was lying.
Kanter smiled and asked Angor to take out the eggs. Angor didn't know what was going on, but he still took out the two wooden boxes given to him by Kanter.
Keely remained silent for a moment before she spoke to Kanter in a low voice, "Okay. I'll take care of him in the garden."
I'll take care of him? Angor was confused. Didn't we agree to take care of each other?
Kanter was satisfied with Keely's answer. Since Keely promised to protect Angor, she would do her best to keep her promise. Perhaps Angor's bad impression of Keely could be improved a little in the garden.
Sunders chuckled and sent a voice transmission to his student. "Well, I can accept it if you're protected by someone else." Angor shook his head.
Angor responded with a complicated look.
"It's a deal then. It's getting late, so we'll take our leave now." Kanter saw that Keely was still trying to tell him to leave, so he gave in.
"We'll be staying at Lilith's cabin in the city for now. Feel free to visit us whenever you want," Kanter said before they left.
Angor nodded politely and watched them walk away in the rain.
Keely's bright red dancing shoes made her look like she was dancing in the rain. The black cat also followed her with its short, rough steps. Angor felt like he was looking at an impressionist painting, which was both beautiful and sad.
…
In the wee hours of the morning, the entire Floating Mech City was quiet except for the Rune Detectors, which were still glowing.
A streak of light traveled across the starry sky and arrived at a Flowery Manor located on the outskirts of the main city.
Sunders was organizing Angor's data in his study. He planned to record Angor's Nightmare Domain and soul condition tomorrow. He was also interested in the secret spell Isabelle taught Angor.
"Huh?" Sunders suddenly noticed something and looked outside the window.
Angor was resting comfortably on his bed in his bedroom. Back in Bogula's Fortress, he was always on high alert and didn't dare to fall asleep. Now that he was in Angor's manor, he didn't have to worry about his safety.
Before going to bed, he took out the two wooden boxes given to him by Kanter.
