Becoming an official Magus wasn't something that could be done casually.
For 99% of apprentice wizards, becoming an official wizard was already an insurmountable obstacle, not to mention laying down the foundation of the path of truth before becoming an official wizard.
However, both Sunders and Flora seemed to have agreed that Angor could cross the chasm and challenge an even bigger abyss at the same time. However, challenging this abyss might take some time.
They were more concerned about whether Angor should spend the time to challenge the abyss.
Angor was not as optimistic as them.
Not to mention challenging the Abyss, he didn't have absolute confidence in crossing the Great Barrier, this natural chasm.
The reason why he could become a level-3 apprentice so quickly was because of the uniqueness of his channeling method, which allowed him to ignore the barrier. However, no matter how special his channeling method was, it would not help him much when he was about to cross a major level. He still had to rely on his own experience, knowledge, and talent.
Personally, he believed that he would be satisfied if he could become a wizard before the age of 30 through normal training.
So, when Sunders asked him what he should do, Angor did not know how to answer. At the very least, he had to be confident that he could become a wizard before deciding whether to challenge the abyss.
Sunders considered and nodded. "You're right. If you can't even become a wizard, don't think about anything else.
"As for spell slots, you can wait until you become a top-level apprentice. Make sure you can cross the barrier before you decide."
Angor nodded. That was what he truly thought.
However, if he had to make a choice now, he would probably choose to become a wizard first. After all, if he could not even become a wizard, he would probably be turned into ashes by the Calamity of Grand Demons.
"Is there anything else?" Sunders saw that Angor was not going to leave.
Angor hesitated. "Professor, why did Miss Flora come here today?"
He was going to leave right away, but he noticed something strange.
Ever since he came to the study today, he noticed something different about Sunders. He could not put his finger on it. He only felt that Sunders was more outgoing than before.
And it was not a negative emotion. It was a positive one.
Could it be that something good happened?
When he saw Sunders at the dining table this morning, Sunders seemed to be in a normal mood. However, several hours later, Flora showed up, and Sunders' mood changed drastically.
Maybe Flora had something to do with this?
It was rare to see Sunders' mood change. Even Angor, who did not like to gossip, could not help but ask.
However, he did not ask directly. Instead, he beat around the bush.
No matter how hard he tried, Sunders already knew the truth.
"You want to know why I'm happy today?" Sunders raised an eyebrow.
Angor scratched his head in confusion.
"You'll find out in a few days anyway. Sumesh has become a truth-finder." Sunders grinned.
Sumesh had become a Truth-Finder?!
Angor was a little surprised. He didn't know who Sumesh was. But soon, he remembered.
He didn't know who Sumesh was, nor had he ever seen him before. However, he had heard the name many times. Every time someone mentioned Sunders' student, Sumesh's name would be mentioned.
Sunders had taken in three students so far.
Flora was an orphan who was adopted by Sunders when she was young, so she naturally became Sunders' student. Angor became Sunders' student two years ago.
Apart from them, Sunders had another student. It had been more than a hundred years since Sunders first accepted Angor as his student.
It was none other than Sumesh.
As far as Angor knew, Sumesh only existed in rumors and whispers.
He knew that Sumesh was also an Illusionist. However, Sumesh's specialty was the combination of reality and illusion, which allowed him to see through everything.
He also knew that Sumesh's nickname was "The Masked Man".
He also knew that Sumesh left Brute Cavern 50 years ago to find his own path.
Who would've thought that Sumesh would actually step onto the path of truth after 50 years of absence?
50 years! For most adepts, it was only the blink of an eye, and everything would be over in an instant. But Sumesh did it within 50 years, which meant he was one of the best Truth-Finishers in the world.
No wonder Sunders couldn't hold back his joy. His cold image was softened a lot because of this.
Two Truth-Finishers! Only a handful of people in the southern wizarding region could do that.
Now that Sumesh had become a Truth-Finder, Sunders' students would gain more influence in Brute Cavern. Although Sunders was not interested in power, he would have more say in the future. At least, he would have more autonomy when assigning tasks.
Angor was happy to see Sumesh in person. He hadn't met Sumesh yet, but they were still from the same teacher.
"Did Miss Flora tell you, sir?" Angor asked curiously.
Sunders nodded. "She spent 20 years at the frontline of Moonfrost Union, and she's a good friend of Sennefer. Sennefer told her not long ago that Sumesh had created a new spell in the Xien World and stepped onto the path of truth. "
He wanted to know more about Sumesh's new spells. Unfortunately, Sumesh was still in Xien World and couldn't see it with his own eyes.
As they talked about Sumesh, Sunders suddenly frowned and took out his crystal ball transmitter.
Several messages were sent to his communicator.
Most of them were congratulatory messages, which meant someone already knew about Sumesh's achievement.
Butler Goode suddenly knocked on the door of the study and told Sunders that wizards were here to visit.
Most of them were probably here for Sumesh's news. Sunders didn't like to socialize, but he still spoke up. "Alright. Open the barrier around Phantom Island and let them in."
Apart from the news, Sunders also received a message from Rein Mute, who congratulated him and invited him to his place for a chat.
The originally peaceful Phantom Island was suddenly bustling with activity.
Angor excused himself as well. A large group of wizards was about to arrive, and a small fry like him could not join a wizard's party.
"Professor, when will Lady Greya come to Brute Cavern?" Angor suddenly thought of a question.
"She'll be here in two days, barring any accidents."
…
At the same time, on the other side of Parmigi Highlands, Greya was walking out of a teleportation array in the Evernight Kingdom.
She was in Sleepless City, which was located in the southeast of the Evernight Kingdom.
Sleepless City and Edge of Night were two major wizard organizations in the Evernight Kingdom. Although they were located in the Evernight Kingdom, the actual regime of the Evernight Kingdom knew nothing about these two sorcerer organizations.
Take Floating Mech City as an example. Although it floated above Evron all year round, most mortals in Evron had never heard of it. They would only catch a glimpse of the city when there were no clouds or clouds in the sky. This was why there were so many legends about it.
Sleepless City was no exception.
It was a legendary city in the minds of the citizens of the Evernight Kingdom. According to the legends, Sleepless City was also known as the Sleepless City because it was always daytime.
In essence, it was almost the same. However, this "Nightless" was achieved by relying on a huge magic array.
When Greya stepped out of the teleportation array, the first thing she saw was the Eternal Light, which looked like a dome.
The Eternal Light was a magic array engraved under Sleepless City. When the magic array was fully formed, it would form a dome. Not only did it provide "eternal light", but it could also gather mana to a certain extent.
"Primal mana gathers five times faster under the dome. If Angor can draw this magic array, I'll ask him to do it when Barbie's Restaurant reopens," Greya muttered to herself.
After leaving the teleportation array, Greya tapped the ground and flew out of Sleepless City. Without her body, it was impossible for her to create a plane passageway. She had to fly slowly toward Brute Cavern.
Fortunately, Sleepless City was already very close to Parmigi Highlands.
Before leaving Sleepless City, Greya's ears suddenly twitched, and she looked down. She looked down and saw several people huddling together on the street. They were discussing the latest news from Moonfrost Plane.
She stopped because she faintly heard the name "Saunders" being mentioned.
While hovering in the air, Greya carefully listened to the rustling beneath her.
A moment later, Greya's expression changed. "I didn't think Sumesh would choose this path as well …"
She still remembered that a hundred years ago, Sunders brought Sumesh to Barbie's Restaurant to buy Twisting Protozoa.
Back then, Sumesh was only a level-2 apprentice.
But in the blink of an eye, Sumesh had also stepped onto the path of truth. Greya, on the other hand, was still stuck at the same level. If she couldn't find her body, Angor would surpass her in no time.
Greya sighed with mixed feelings.
Sunders really had a good eye for students. Of his three students, one was a truth-finder, one was a wizard, and the last one was still an apprentice, but he had already touched upon Mystery and was incredibly talented.
It was only a matter of time before Sunders' students would be able to turn the entire southern wizarding region upside down.
Greya shook her head and kept flying away from the city.
But right at this moment, a crisp sound of a zither suddenly entered her ears.
