On the other side of the city …
Angor only had a few hundred magic crystals left after buying Rune Encyclopedia. Even if he could find wizard-level stitches, he would not be able to afford them. He left Moshi Street and headed to Champagne Road.
On his way, he was thinking about how to make money. He was running low on magic crystals, and he needed to find a way to earn some.
He also remembered that he still owed Sunders 150,000 magic crystals. He was supposed to repay the debt half a year ago, but he was forced to come to Fairy World due to some unavoidable circumstances. Angor did not mention the debt because he had to prepare for the purification garden in Floating Mech City. He did not know if he could make it back alive. But since the purification garden was done, it was time for him to bring up the issue.
He read about "Nightmare Domain Severing" from the book Mystery of Nightmare Realm. Sunders used wizard-level materials to create the Nightmare Domain for him. Plus, Sunders did all the work himself. 150,000 magic crystals was already a bargain.
During his time away from Brute Cavern, he used his Nightmare Domain to get out of trouble many times, so he couldn't forget about it.
It seemed that he needed to continue his alchemy research.
Soon, he arrived at Champagne Road. There were a few pits in the middle of the intersection. The battle between Shan and Saladin was still vivid in his mind.
Did Saladin make it out of the purification garden?
As he pondered, he found himself standing in front of Wood Pub again.
Through the glass window, Angor could see that the bar was still as crowded as last time. However, when he pushed the door open and entered the bar, he noticed that the atmosphere inside was a bit different.
The left side of the bar was lively, while the right side of the bar was quiet.
The left side of the bar was celebrating their escape from the purification garden, while the right side of the bar was mourning the death of their friends.
It was quite strange that the two sides did not disturb each other at all.
As soon as Angor entered, a bartender in a black-and-white uniform and white gloves came to him. The bartender's hair was greased. "What can I do for you, honorable guest?"
The bartender was the same mortal Angor saw last time.
"Don't mind me. I'm looking for someone," Angor said in a plain tone.
"Sir, may I know who you're looking for?" The bartender didn't leave, and his tone was a little unforgiving.
Angor frowned. A mortal who dared to question a supernatural like this probably had something to do with the owner of Wood Land. Since the previous owner of Wood Forest had already helped him, he decided to suppress his displeasure.
He took out a thin card from his bracelet.
Write: Fangling Pavilion.
The bartender looked at Angor in surprise. He had a better idea of what was going on. The person who came back last time seemed to have the same figure?
The bartender shuddered at the thought of that person's true identity. He immediately stood aside and said respectfully, "This way, please."
The bartender's actions also attracted the attention of the other customers.
When they saw the invitation card from "Fangling Pavilion", they all narrowed their eyes. The regular customers of Wood Forest Pub were already whispering to each other, trying to guess the identity of the visitor. Was it Angor?
After the incident in the purification garden, the three women from Fangling Pavilion returned safely. Even Nausica, a level-1 apprentice, was unharmed. People began to ask about their adventures.
Shan didn't hide anything from them. She even shared her adventures with the others. However, people only believed a little of what she said because most of it was just an exaggeration. The only thing they didn't know was why they left safely. Shan claimed that it was because of Angor, and people believed her.
Many apprentices who went to the purification garden witnessed how Angor rode a powerful familiar into the Altar of Demise. Even Jebra had no choice but to give way to him.
Because of this, people were even more curious about "Angor". Plus, there were all kinds of rumors about "Angor" in the magazines, so when someone showed an invitation card to Fangling Pavilion, people couldn't help but wonder who he was.
However, guesses were guesses, and no one dared to go forward and question him.
If it really was "Angor", they would only be asking for trouble if they offended him.
When Angor entered the Fangling Pavilion, the atmosphere in the pub finally returned to normal. People began to voice their doubts. "Angor was a level-2 apprentice when he came here last time? That guy was a level-3 apprentice. I don't think he's Angor, right? "
On the other hand, Angor saw the three ladies resting in the yard as soon as he stepped into Fragrant Pavilion.
Nausica was the first to see Angor since he was the only one who received the invitation card. She knew it was him even though he was wearing a hood.
"Angor, you … Wait, you're a level-3 apprentice already?" Nausica was going to ask what happened that day, but when she looked closer, she realized something was wrong.
"I got lucky." Angor took off his hood. He didn't show much emotion in his eyes, but when he saw Nausica becoming a level-2 apprentice, he was delighted.
After going through the purification at the Altar of Demise, all the hidden injuries Nausica suffered when she was a pirate leader at Blackberry Waters were all healed. Coupled with the purification of her soul and mana, not long after she returned to the Wood Bar, she had successfully advanced to a level-2 apprentice. Her mana source had completely stabilized after leveling up, and she was now ready to break through to a higher level.
Nausica wanted to give Angor a surprise when she saw him.
However, when she saw that Angor was already a level-3 apprentice, her expression didn't change, but her eyes dimmed a little.
Nausica felt bitter in her heart. They both joined Brute Cavern at the same time, but the gap between them was so huge.
Shan also couldn't believe her eyes. "You leveled up again? If I remember correctly, you only joined the wizarding world two years ago, right? Less than two years, and you're already a level-3 apprentice? "
"If I remember correctly, Nanagi and Vice also spent close to ten years to become advanced apprentices!"
Nanagi and Vice were the two most powerful apprentices in Brute Cavern. Together, they were known as the strongest apprentices in this generation. Both of them were not yet 30 years old, so it was only a matter of time before they became wizards.
But now, Angor broke the record. He was still several years away from turning 20, and he was already a level-3 apprentice. How terrifying!
"Am I crazy? Or is the world crazy?" Shan muttered in shock. The gap between people was now truly reflected. She, who originally thought that she was very talented, couldn't help but feel jealous.
Angor, who was envied by everyone, shook his head with a bitter smile. He didn't plan to level up so quickly. This was a complete accident. But he didn't want to say it out loud. Even if he did, they wouldn't believe him.
After a while, Shan finally calmed down and got down to business.
"You came just in time. I'm afraid this meat would've gone bad if you came a few days later." Shan took out a large chunk of meat from her space pouch and gave off a sweet smell.
It was Erdus' meat. When Angor took them away, Shan took the chance to cut off a piece of meat to extract its essence.
"Wizard-level monster meat. I didn't cook it for you. I wonder how much essence is left in it," Shan said as she asked Nausica and Shiliew to set up the fire and barbecue equipment.
Shan's movements were bold and skillful. It was obvious that she had cooked a lot of meat before.
"Back in my tribe, barbecue was one of the best." Shan grinned as she smeared honey on the meat and sprinkled some unknown but fragrant spices on it. "Too bad. It would've been better if a Gourmet Wizard cooked it. But we don't know any Gourmet Wizards anyway. Don't worry about it. "
Speaking of Gourmet Wizards, Angor thought about Alan. He saw Alan staying with Falga and the others the other day, so Alan should be safe.
While Shan was roasting the meat, Nausica finally came back to her senses.
"That day, after the purification, you suddenly left. Was it because the sealing potion took effect in advance? But the timing doesn't match. "
"It's nothing. Just a side effect of drinking too much Witch Soup." Angor tried to calm her down.
Nausica nodded and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Toby, who was squatting on Angor's shoulder and staring at Erdus' meat with a greedy look.
"You're our savior. You'll get your share later." Nausica chuckled.
Toby put his hands on his hips and showed a proud look.
"You wish." Angor placed Toby on his palm and began combing his feathers.
Shan wanted to ask why Toby suddenly changed his form that day, but she didn't want to intrude on other people's privacy.
Angor took the chance to tell them why he came here.
"Did you see Hookdick?"
"Hookdick." Nausica repeated the name with a cold glint in her eyes. "I'm looking for him too. I saw him in the valley that day. But I think he got scared and ran away in the crowd. We've been asking around, but no one knows where he is. I think he ran away already. "
"So what?" Shan spoke in a cold tone. "He'll come back to Brute Cavern one day. How dare he set us up? I'll cut him into pieces no matter what. "
Shan then turned to Angor and said, "Leave Hookdick to us. I've been staying in Brute Cavern for more than ten years. He's just a hothead who wants to fight with a local tyrant. I'll make sure he dies! "
Shan's vicious expression, coupled with her young face, was a little uneasy.
Angor didn't say anything. He didn't really expect them to kill Hookdick. Hookdick was a Soul Manipulator after all.
