Angor planned to keep Freud in his bracelet, but the Soul Floss would wither easily if no one cared for it. Soul Floss wasn't a valuable material, but he didn't want to waste it.
He thought for a moment and went next door with the Soul Floss.
As soon as he stepped inside, he smelled the fragrance of flowers and plants. Angor took a closer look and saw a skyscraper decorated with flowers and plants standing in the middle of the empty house.
The Krakoks were farming around the skyscraper. The spacious foundation was now filled with lush green fields. Around the farmland, there were all kinds of mini fruit trees and flowers. The trees were luxuriant, and the flowers and fruits were fragrant.
Adults were busy farming, while children were playing around. He also saw an old man organizing people to carve wood, and a young man holding a delicate Moonlight Zither. Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, they sang melodious songs to woo the girls they liked, which made the others laugh out loud.
This was the temporary residence of the Krakoks, which was centered around Angor's skyscraper.
"Angor!" Dodoro came to him with a joyful look.
Angor looked at Dodoro who was teaching a lesson with Papaya's grandmother. There was a pile of white paper on the table, which was full of words.
Judging from the size of the words, Angor could tell that Dodoro wrote them.
Angor waved at the Krakoks and told them to go back to their work and not mind him. He walked to the desk and picked up the stack of papers.
Dodoro stood beside Angor like a child waiting for his teacher to check his homework. He looked a little nervous, but also a little hopeful.
Angor read through the book and was a little surprised.
Dodoro's handwriting didn't look like a beginner's at all. His handwriting was just like his handwriting. It carried a spirited and bright aura. It was angular, not dazzling, neat, and comfortable.
Papaya's grandmother kept praising Dodoro while Angor read the paper. Dodoro couldn't hold back his smile, but he still looked at Angor nervously, as if Angor's praise was the only thing that kept him motivated.
Of course, Angor didn't hesitate to praise Dodoro's handwriting.
The smile on Dodoro's face grew bigger as if he had become more lively.
Angor shook his head. Dodoro had learned a lot of basic knowledge, but he still didn't know how to control his foolishness. It seemed Dodoro still needed more guidance from Papaya's grandmother.
After saying a few more words of encouragement to Dodoro, Angor looked at Papaya.
He planned to leave the Soul Floss here so that Papaya could find someone to take care of it. Papaya, of course, agreed. She quickly sent several strong men to Angor.
Angor told Papaya how to take care of the flower and placed it behind the skyscraper.
As for Freud, Angor didn't want the man to mislead the Krakoks with his words. Angor to Freud's mind. so that Freud's to himself.
The illusion was similar to the one he used on Flowey in Dark Castle's graveyard, which restricted Freud's movement and communication. However, Angor also gave Freud something else. For example, he created a replica of Freud's old residence and left a lot of books, such as wizarding magazines, novels, and fairy tales, which should be enough to keep Freud entertained.
After setting up Freud's illusion, Angor left the place.
Unbeknownst to him, Freud's eyes flashed with excitement as he stared at the books that looked so real that he could touch them and read them.
Angor bid farewell to Number One and left the manor with Toby. They headed toward Floating Mech City.
Not long after they left, a black and white butterfly landed in front of the manor gate.
…
It should have been a good thing that the purification garden was successfully upgraded. However, most of the people in Floating Mech City weren't cheering. Instead, they seemed to be mourning.
Angor didn't know how many people died, but he was certain that there were more than 50,000 of them. These apprentices might have turned into dust just like that, and probably no one would remember them in the future. However, in these two days, there were still some people who missed them dearly and grieved for them.
Moreover, Floating Mech City's deceit had caused a lot of innocent apprentices to get hurt. The city's reputation, which was supposed to be neutral, was now in jeopardy.
The atmosphere in Floating Mech City became much quieter than usual.
However, Floating Mech City didn't care about the rumors at all.
Many people died, but many people also benefited from it. For example, the major wizard organizations were now allowed to enter the purification garden in the future, which was more than enough to make up for the negative rumors.
As time went by, Floating Mech City's reputation would slowly recover. The damage to its reputation wasn't serious at all.
Angor walked toward Bogula's fortress in such a quiet atmosphere.
People were still talking about the purification garden, but most of them only heard about it from magazines. They never went there themselves.
From the discussions around him, be it anecdotes or gossip, he realized that his reputation had been completely improved.
Back at the Altar of Demise, he was able to force Jebra to stay away from him, which was more than enough proof of his strength.
However, his alchemy skills were still unknown. Apart from a few wizards who knew the inside story, not many people believed in his alchemy skills.
Angor didn't care too much about these rumors. Time would tell if they were true or not.
Angor arrived at Bogula's fortress without any trouble.
Bogula's fortress was still as creepy as ever. There were multiple layers of puppets guarding the place. Even when Angor was several hundred meters away from the fortress, the puppets still stared at him with their creepy eyes.
Even though it was still bright outside, Angor still felt a chill running down his spine.
He wouldn't have come here if he didn't know that Bogula had already left. But to find Hookdick as soon as possible, he could only ask Shadow for help.
Soon, a Rune Detector wearing the same outfit as Number One slowly floated out of the fortress and stopped in front of Angor.
"Good afternoon, Butler Kazar." Angor slowly took off his hood to reveal his face.
Kazar's eyes glowed red in "surprise". "Mister Padt, my honored guest. Honorable guest, Kaza cleans the room reserved for you every day. Are you going to move in again? "
Angor quickly shook his head. He didn't want to stay here even if Bogula wasn't here. He clearly remembered that there were wizard-level puppets among these puppets. When he lived here before, he would be stared at by these puppets just by getting close to the window. It was really uncomfortable to bear the pressure. Living here was just asking for trouble.
"No need. I already have a place to stay. I'm here to find Shadow — I mean, Diablo. Is he here now? "Angor asked.
Kazar shook his head. "Don't you know, Mister Padt? Mister Diablo left half a month ago. Before he left, he said that he won't come back until he becomes a wizard. "
Angor frowned. He knew that Shadow was eager to revive Naga and become a wizard as soon as possible. Shadow also told him that he was going to travel and look for opportunities to advance. Angor didn't expect Shadow to leave so soon.
Since Shadow wasn't here, Angor didn't want to stay.
Before he left, he saw someone walking out of the fortress. The strange outfit and the big dark circles under his eyes clearly showed who he was.
"If you're looking for Diablo, you can go to the Northern Tundra. I think he said he's going to explore a plane," Falca said in a low voice as he walked past Angor.
Angor didn't know what Falca meant.
With that, Falca left without looking back.
"Falca? That's …" Angor didn't know what was going on. Why was he trying to get on Angor's good side?
"Mister Falca received Mister Taurus' summons. He's going back to Silent Hill today," Kazar explained.
Angor didn't really want to ask about Falca's whereabouts. But he didn't really care. He thanked Kazar and left.
Since Shadow wasn't here, Angor had no other way to find Hookdick. So, he decided to check Lumber Bar first. He wondered if Nausica knew anything about Hookdick.
On his way to Champagne Road, Angor took a detour to Munshi's Magic Material Street. He planned to buy some materials there.
Floating Mech City was the central hub of the southern wizardry region. It was convenient to buy anything here. There were plenty of rare materials that couldn't be found anywhere else in the city. Even if they were out of stock, they could always order them in advance.
Angor estimated that he would leave Floating Mech City in a few days, so he wanted to use this chance to make some purchases.
He was going to craft a few weapons for his own use, and they were also very versatile. Apart from weapons, he was also going to dabble in the creation of armor. He was still using the scale that Akeso had given him as a breastplate. It was a disgrace to him as an alchemist if he let his peers see it.
Also, he promised to make a shelter for Freud, and he wouldn't go back on his word. Also, he planned to try his hand at Apothecary under Mithra's guidance.
Of course, these alchemy plans weren't done in one go. Angor planned to take it slow. He was going back to the Old Earth this year anyway, and he had plenty of time to study them on his way back.
This time, he planned to buy all the materials he needed now, in the future, and in the future.
When he arrived at Munshi's Magic Material Street, he was once again shocked by how prosperous Floating Mech City was.
The Floating Pavilion, the shops on the airship, and the alternate dimension connected by the Stairway to Heaven. The buildings of various styles complemented each other. It was bustling but not chaotic.
Angor didn't see the sad atmosphere on this street at all.
