Angor opened the book and saw a map of the Evernight Kingdom on the first page.
In Goldspink Empire, maps of any kind were classified as absolute war secrets. Any non-military personnel who accidentally got their hands on a map would be sentenced to a severe punishment. However, on the first page of the book, the map was already drawn out generously. From the altitude to the basin, everything was detailed.
So, was the Evernight Kingdom so powerful that they were not afraid of any challenge? Or was the Fey Continent so peaceful that all nations would not go to war?
The Evernight Kingdom was shaped like a turtle-shaped turtle. Looking at the scale on the bottom left corner of the map, he was surprised to find that the tiny Evernight Kingdom was several times bigger than the Old Earth. Angor kept reading and saw the introduction of the Evernight Kingdom. The Evernight Kingdom was one of the many kingdoms in the southern region of the Fey Continent.
Not big compared to the other kingdoms in the southern region?! Angor suddenly realized that the Fey Continent people called the Old Earth the Fringe Island for a reason. Compared to the "tiny" Evernight Kingdom, the Old Earth was just a small island.
Angor also noticed that the map of the Evernight Kingdom had many transportation lines that extended in all directions. He thought they were official roads, but when he looked at the right side of the map, he realized that most of the transportation lines were railway lines for steam trains.
Did steam trains mean that the civilization of the Fey Continent had reached the age of steam? Or the age of electricity? Angor tried to figure it out.
Angor turned to the next page. Starting from this page, it introduced the situation of the wizard organizations in the Evernight Kingdom.
There were only two major organizations in the book, namely Sleepless City and Edge of Night. Other than that, there were seventeen relatively ordinary organizations.
A country with more than ten million square kilometers only had so few organizations? Angor thought about it. Talents were one in a million, so it was normal that there were few organizations.
The second half of the book introduced the common meditation methods used by the wizard organizations in the Evernight Kingdom.
He learned something about meditation from Mara, but there was no detailed explanation about it. He always felt that there was a barrier between him and Mara. This book was the most basic part, which was perfect for Angor to learn more about the wizarding world.
Angor calmed himself down and began to read.
Time passed slowly in this tranquil atmosphere.
"Are you planning to sleep here today?"
Flora's eerie voice reached his ears. He had gotten used to Flora's voice in the past two days. However, when he was focused on reading in the quiet night, he was still surprised to hear such a childish, sharp, and charming voice.
"Good evening, Miss Flora," Angor put down his book and greeted her politely.
"I really didn't expect that the teacher would open the books here to you. It seems that the teacher really values you." Flora landed on the soft carpet and walked around Angor. "You don't mind telling me about your talent, do you?"
"My talent? I don't know. The professor didn't tell me. "
"Eh, that's not right. That's not like him at all, "Flora mumbled." Tell me what happened in detail. "
Angor recalled what happened and did not think that there was anything he could hide. Plus, he did not want to offend Flora, so he told her everything.
"A real wizard? Heeheehee. " Flora grinned and looked at Angor curiously. "I see. They didn't even teach you the channeling method. You're just here to read."
"The professor really values you." It was the second time Flora said that. Compared to her teasing tone, she sounded more serious this time.
"Miss Flora, do you know something? Can you tell me? "Angor quickly asked when he saw Flora's expression.
"Know what? Your talent? Heehee, I don't know. " Seeing Angor's anxious look, Flora rolled her eyes. "But I can tell you some details that you can't notice."
"Details that I can't notice?"
"That's right. Do you know anything about the wizarding world? In the wizarding world, apart from close family relationships, there is an unspoken principle of exchange, which is equivalent exchange. "Flora changed the topic.
Of course Angor knew about it. When he was on The Redbud, Mara did not teach him Triangle Channeling because of this principle. Huh?! Angor suddenly remembered something.
"Do you think you have a family relationship with the teacher? I don't think so. Today is only the second day you met. " Flora looked at the bookshelves full of books. "Only the second day, and so many valuable books are freely available to you. Don't you feel scared?"
"You know, many things in the wizarding world have a price tag, but knowledge is priceless." Flora had her back to Angor. She revealed a small grin when Angor could not see her.
"Based on the principle of equivalent exchange, since my mentor has given you such a huge amount of wealth, I really don't know what you have to give him in return to complete this transaction." Flora waved at Angor as if saying goodbye. "Don't worry too much. Maybe your talent is so great that the teacher will take the initiative to exchange with you."
Flora left the scene as fast as she could after a series of 'beating' words. If she stayed any longer, she would laugh out loud when she saw Angor's pitiful and terrified expression.
What he did not know was that he was being teased by Flora right after being teased by Sunders.
He was still thinking about Flora's words. What she said made so much sense! It was only the second day he met with the teacher, and the teacher already gave him such a huge gift. There must be something else he wanted. In the words of Earth, "One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions." But what could Angor want from him? He reckoned that it was the innate talent that was still elusive and uncertain.
Then the question came back to square one. What was Angor's talent? Why did Sunders take him in so quickly? What could his talent bring to Sunders? What kind of sacrifice would he make? Would he die?
The more Angor thought about it, the more he imagined the worst. His mind was in a dead end.
In the end, Angor collapsed on the ground with his eyes wide open.
Flora used a spell to peek at Angor's body. She could not help but smile when she saw Angor's condition. Maybe it was because Sunders valued Angor, or maybe it was her hidden jealousy. She always wanted to bully this little junior.
Her words sounded reasonable, but she was just trying to take advantage of Angor's inexperience in the wizarding world.
Knowledge was priceless, but it also depended on what kind of knowledge it was. A few books meant for Apprentice Adepts were no different from toilet paper to official Adepts like them.
She kept raising the value of Angor's knowledge because she was dissatisfied and wanted to tease Angor.
Angor had already arranged the "real path" for someone who had not become an apprentice yet. She already became a wizard, but she still had not found the right path! The real path of wizardry was not something that could be easily arranged by others. It still depended on one's own understanding and luck. But she was not happy that Angor had such a high starting point when he was just a mortal.
Looking at Angor's anxious look, Flora felt her anger was mostly gone. She hummed a song and left.
Not long after she left, Sunders suddenly appeared where she was standing. He sighed and shook his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
