Angor had learned something about the Soft Larva Egg from Sunders.
The so-called Soft Larva was a special type of magic insect that originated from the Abyss Plane. This was a type of insect that was full of social class. It was not very strong, and to wizards, their greatest value was as an alchemy material and experimental subject.
Another reason why Soft Worms were so expensive was because of the appearance of the Mutant Soft Worms.
Speaking of Shapeshifting Larvae, there was a special cantrip called Polymorph.
Cantrips and spells were of different levels, so the difficulty of learning them was as different as night and day. Wizards might spend decades, centuries, or even thousands of years to study a spell. Cantrips, on the other hand, could be learned in just a few months as long as one was talented enough.
However, there was one cantrip that was known to be as difficult as the official cantrips, and that was the Transfiguration Spell.
Polymorph was a cantrip that could change one's appearance. One could shrink one's body to the size of a mosquito or a Titan. Of course, it was only a change in form. Changing one's power level was not something a "cantrip" could do.
There were two ways to learn Polymorph. The first was the traditional way, which was also the most difficult way. One had to learn and understand many subjects, such as biological structure, mimicry, anatomy, environmental science, mana manipulation, fine scheduling, and so on. An apprentice might not be able to learn Polymorph in his or her entire life.
The second way was to take a shortcut — transplant the skin of a Shapeshifting Larva.
Once the skin was perfectly transplanted, one could cast Polymorph using the cantrip model and mana manipulation.
This shortcut could save a lot of time. Besides, Polymorph required a lot of wizards, so most wizards chose to transplant Shapeshifting Larva's skin, which led to a large number of Soft Larvae dying out.
Shapeshifting Larvae were rare in the first place. After tens of thousands of years of hunting, they were almost extinct. It had been many years since a Shapeshifting Larva appeared in an auction house.
However, the Soft Larva Egg given to him by Kanter was different from Shapeshifting Larvae.
Soft Larvae were a type of insect controlled by a superorganism.
Just like how ants were divided into worker ants, soldier ants, female ants, male ants, and queen ants, Soft Worms were the same. Metamorphosis Soft Worms were just one type of Soft Worms. Who knew if Kante's eggs would hatch into Soft Worms?
If it was just an ordinary Soft Worm, its value would also be very high, but naturally, it would not be comparable to the Mutating Soft Worm.
Most importantly, could the egg hatch? This was also a problem.
He considered for a moment and placed the egg inside the nest. He didn't know how to make the egg hatch yet, but since the nest still contained the energy of the mother, it should be able to keep the egg alive for a while.
When everything was done, Angor was about to put away the nest.
Angor looked up and saw the window on the balcony shaking due to the wind. The raindrops slanted against the glass windows, leaving streaks of water behind.
"Clang!"
The strong wind blew the inner bolt of the window away. The window was wide open, and the raindrops all slanted in.
Since Angor's bed was facing the window, the raindrops fell on the side of his bed. He put down the nest and walked to the window.
Before he could close the window again, two green dots of light suddenly appeared on the dark balcony.
Angor looked up and saw a dark figure suddenly appearing on the balcony.
The darkness of the night concealed the person's appearance, but the gorgeous red dancing shoes and the bright red bow on her head all revealed the person's identity.
"Keely?" He frowned and whispered the name.
The figure on the balcony leaped into the air and landed inside Angor's room.
It was Keely. She was wearing the same clothes as she did during the day, and there was a black cat beside her feet. The green light was the color of the cat's eyes.
Her hair was completely wet, and her short, thin hair was sticking to her forehead.
"Why are you here?" Angor frowned. He didn't like Keely's uninvited and rude behavior. But when he thought about Keely's teacher, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked calmly.
Keely stared at Angor for a long time, as if she was trying to memorize his aura. She only spoke when Angor was about to ask for more information.
"Luna has memorized your information. I'll come to you when we're in the garden. Don't go anywhere." Keely picked up the black cat from the ground and spoke in her usual cold and hoarse voice.
"Luna, you mean this one?" Angor pointed at the black cat.
Keely nodded. "Also, you need to know your place. It's best if you know your place. Before the garden opens, don't come looking for me, and don't disturb my teacher. "
"Otherwise, I'll kill you." Keely's expression turned ferocious as she threatened.
Angor frowned. She sounded like he was going to get cold feet. He didn't even know who Keely was before today. He only learned about Kanter from books. He never thought about having anything to do with Lilith's Clan.
"I'm not going to look for you." Angor's expression turned cold. "Since we've reached an agreement on this matter, why don't we do the same after the garden opens?"
"I don't need you to come looking for me. Let's just go our separate ways and be safe." Angor didn't like it, but he still maintained his composure and didn't say anything worse.
"Good. As for the garden, it's not up to you to decide."
After saying that, Keely seemed to have the intention to leave. She turned around and was about to leave when she saw the bug nest on the bed.
"Teacher gave you an alchemy task. Do not fail. Or you'll have to bear the consequences."
After saying that, she turned around and rode on the broom, flying into the rainy and windy night.
Angor felt both annoyed and amused at the same time. He was also a bit confused. He was annoyed by Keely's attitude and amused by her naivety. As for the question … since when did Kanter tell him to do alchemy?
After Keely left, Angor went to the balcony and set up several illusion nodes. No one ever broke into his room when he was in Bogula's castle. Angor didn't expect such a thing to happen on his first night in Bogula's manor.
As a precaution, he set up illusion nodes just in case. Angor was sure that Sunders must have secretly agreed to let Keely into his room so easily.
The next morning, Sunders summoned Angor to his room.
Sunders didn't ask about Keely's visit. Instead, he brought Angor to the gravity garden again. This time, however, Angor didn't appear in the library. Instead, he appeared on a barren slope.
He was surrounded by a white fog that could not be seen.
"Unleash your Nightmare Domain and fight against me. Let me see how much you've grown in the past half a year. "The short cane in Sunders' hand suddenly lengthened and pointed at Angor.
Angor nodded and dragged Sunders into his Nightmare Domain.
With the help of The Mystery of Nightmare Domain, Angor's control over his Nightmare Domain had improved a lot. For example, Angor's Nightmare Domain, as well as the usage and coordination of various nightmare illusions … Angor used his strongest nightmare illusions against Sunders.
However, none of them worked.
Angor already knew this, but he still wanted to hear what Sunders had to say about his application of Nightmare Domain.
"It's growing steadily, but not very creative." Sunders pondered for a while and said, "It's growing steadily, but not very creative."
Most of Angor's Nightmare Domain spells came from The Mystery of Nightmare Domain. The only thing that made Sunders feel creative was Angor's ability to block emotions. Combined with his Nightmare Domain spells, he could achieve a lot of amazing effects, such as silencing people, stirring up emotions, and even desires.
Sunders approved of Angor's application of Nightmare Domain, which was based on Angor's special talent. However, most of Angor's Nightmare Domain spells came from The Mystery of Nightmare Domain. It wasn't bad. It was just too formal.
Of course, considering Angor's time in the wizarding world, he was already doing very well. He was even better than Sunders' other two students. However, Sunders had more expectations for Angor than Flora and Sumesh.
He had high expectations for Angor, and so did his demands.
"Of course, you must learn The Mystery of Nightmare Domain. But I hope you can find your own path as an apprentice," Sunders said. "Those who stick to the rules will never become true knowers."
Angor nodded. He knew what Sunders wanted from him.
After checking his Nightmare Domain, Sunders brought Angor to another place in the garden, which Sunders called his "lab".
There were many different kinds of equipment in the lab. Some of them were related to alchemy, while others were unfamiliar to Angor.
Alchemists weren't the only wizards who had their own labs. Almost every Magus would eventually build their own laboratory. This was because no matter if it was researching spells or deducing theories, they all needed to be accompanied by experiments. For example, how could one learn techniques like limb regrowth without hundreds or thousands of dissecting and studying them? And dissection experiments required a lab as well.
Every wizard had their own lab, and it was more important than anything else. Many Sorcerers didn't even build a Sorcerer Tower. They only built a laboratory.
Sunders took out a glass chamber that could hold people and asked Angor to go inside.
Next, he injected some nourishing liquid into the chamber and asked Angor to eject his soul.
