During the Month of Harvest, the golden carpet was replaced by a green robe.
Sunders also left Brute Cavern on the day of autumn. His destination was the unknown Abyss, and the date of his return was unknown.
Angor stayed at Phantom Island for a few days to take care of things. Then he handed over the authority to Goode so that he could prepare for his return home.
Since he was now in the wizarding world, he would like to bring a better place for his family to live. Apart from that, he also hoped that his elder brother and teacher could live longer.
Therefore, he came to the underground market to buy some mild items that mortals could use. For example, something that could increase lifespan, cure diseases, and keep the Padt Clan alive.
Angor noticed that the atmosphere in the market was a bit strange.
Although there were still a lot of apprentices around, everyone seemed to be in a hurry. Compared to before, the atmosphere was a little more solemn. Angor could also see the vigilance in the eyes of the passersby.
This happened after Sunders left Brute Cavern.
Sunders was not alone. There were at least 20 other wizards who left with him, all of whom were invited by Mister Monkey. The departure of so many wizards meant that Brute Cavern's overall strength was weakened. Also, Lady Mirror was in hibernation. The monsters in Sleepless City were everywhere, and the sky above the wizarding world was covered by the dark clouds of Demon Gods.
However, nervousness was one thing. Were the days of nervousness in the World of Adepts short? The reason why even ordinary apprentices were trembling in fear was because of another matter.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was Maya. Not long after Sunders left, Maya announced that Astral Island would be closed off.
Everyone knew that Maya was going to bring her new student, Dodoro, to the Brilliance Plane for further study. However, the common apprentices did not know about this. They thought that Maya had predicted something and decided to shut herself off to ensure her safety.
Even though they knew that Rein was there to keep the situation under control, they could not help but feel anxious.
In such an atmosphere, Angor began to wander around the market.
He bought a lot of things that mortals could use, such as food seeds modified by wizards, fertile soil for growing magic plants, magic puppets that mortals could control … Basically, Angor had taken care of everything he needed.
After making sure his family had enough food and shelter, he went to Prome's Alchemy Shop.
He was going to buy some magical plants that could prolong his life. He planned to study the refining method of the potion on the way back. Even if the refining failed, he could just consume the magic plant directly. It was just that the effect was slightly inferior.
When he arrived at Prome's Alchemy Shop, he was surprised to see Balba.
Balba was the only one in the shop. He was standing behind the counter, studying the accounts in his hands. Balba raised his head when he heard footsteps outside the door.
"Angor!" "Mister Padt," Balba's eyes glowed as if he suddenly remembered something. He quickly changed the way he addressed Angor.
"Why are you here? Where's Dave? "Angor walked into the room.
Balba pointed at the account sheet in his hand. "I'm here to work …"
Before Balba could finish, Angor felt the floor trembling, followed by a familiar scream.
A moment later, the wooden door behind the counter was pushed open, and Dave walked out in a daze, his face covered in dust.
"… Dave's doing an experiment in the basement," Balba said.
"Oops! Another failure! Why is it so difficult to forge a weapon with fire effects?! "David cried out. At the same time, black smoke began to rise from the basement below him.
After whining for a while, Dave finally noticed that Angor was looking at him with a puzzled expression on his face.
"You're here, Angor?" Dave asked with tears in his eyes. Why is it that every time you come, my alchemy fails? "
Before Angor could say anything, Balba looked at Dave with a cold expression. "This is the fifth time you failed today, and the third explosion happened. It has nothing to do with Mister Padt. No matter who comes, you'll still fail. "
David was stunned. After a while, he shouted, "Hey! I'm the one who hired you! I'm your boss! Is that how you talk to your boss? "
Balba pouted. "I'm just telling the truth."
Angor was puzzled. Since when did these two people work together?
"Dave, you hired Balba? Did Prome agree? "Angor asked.
Dave patted the dust off his clothes and walked to the table. "Master Prome, I don't care if you agree or not. I'm the one paying Balba's wages."
Dave looked a little proud. "I give him 30 magic crystals every month, and a commission if he sells well. That's a lot better than what I got before! "
"Why did you hire him?" Angor glanced at Balba, who was carefully checking the accounts, and sent a voice transmission to Dave.
Dave didn't know how to send a voice transmission spell, so he could only whisper to Angor, "I hired him because of you. But I'm also planning to hire someone to look after my shop. I've become 'Master Dave' in the underground market, and I don't need a master to look after my shop."
"I have a lot of good alchemy ideas. It'll be a waste of time if I hire someone to look after your shop. I heard that he's looking for a job, so I hired him. "
Angor agreed with Dave's decision. He also felt grateful. "That's good. He's a nice guy, and he's strong too. He can help keep the shop safe. "
David said, "Hercules lives nearby. Thugs usually don't come to my shop to cause trouble. Let me tell you a secret. I hired Balba to look after my shop because of a special effect. "
"A special effect?"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Dave pointed at the door. "You'll see."
A finger with pink nail polish on it pushed open the door, and two witch apprentices with wrists swayed into the shop. They were aiming at Balba.
"Did you see that? Balba's looks and figure have attracted a lot of female apprentices. It's easy to earn money from them. Even if they're just trying to talk to you, they'll buy something and leave, "Dave whispered.
Angor nodded. Balba was good-looking, but only in a wild way. Also, Balba had a wolf-like aura about him that made people feel like they were being plundered.
So, do all the women nowadays like this type of men?
The two female apprentices completely ignored Angor and Dave as if they were nothing but air. In the end, they spent 50 magic crystals to buy a Garlic Fairy Snout Grass that Balba was sorting out. Then, they left reluctantly.
"Garlic Fairy Snout Grass is used to repel insects. What are they going to do with it?" Angor was curious. "They don't look like they're going out for an adventure."
"You don't get it. They're not buying grass." Dave sighed. "They're buying it for its taste and their eyes."
"Are you here to buy something?" Dave suddenly changed the topic. "Oh, you're here to buy something?"
Angor nodded and handed a list to Dave. "I want to buy some magic materials."
Dave glanced at the list and asked Balba to get them from the storage room downstairs.
"You're going to make potions? Something to prolong life and cure diseases? Are you going to give them to your family? "Dave asked curiously.
Angor nodded. "I'm leaving in two days, so I need to buy everything I need."
Dave sighed. "Nausica is gone, Sailum is nowhere to be found, and now you're gone. Most of my friends in Brute Cavern are gone. How sad. Oh, right. When are you coming back? "
"I don't know. Probably after I'm done with my family. If I have time, I'd like to take a look at the disappearance of elements in the Old Earth. "
"Huh? You're going to complete that quest in the questing hall?"
"No one has done it for thousands of years. I won't do it that easily. Just take a look. There aren't any supernaturals in the Old Earth anyway. I'm just going to kill some time. "
"You're right. No one has found anything after so many years. It won't be easy. Still, I have a feeling that you're going to do it, "Dave said.
"What? When did you awaken your gift of prophecy? "Angor joked.
At the same time, Balba walked out of the basement with a large box of materials.
Angor paid the money and prepared to leave. Before he left, he looked at Balba who had been looking at him for a while.
He considered and took out a small booklet from his bracelet and placed it on the counter.
"What's this?" David stretched out his head and looked at the cover of the booklet. It was titled "Elementary Cantrip: Modified" and the title page said "Booklet 1". Angor's name was written on the cover.
"There are some elementary cantrips recorded here. I didn't buy them from the library, either. I modified some of the elements when I was bored. Most of them aren't very powerful, and there are also some boring support cantrips. I'll leave them to you. "
David's eyes lit up. "I remember Sailum told me that you taught them a cantrip — Send Water. Is that the cantrip you modified?"
"Yes. Create Water is also recorded in this book. Don't worry about being punished. Just learn it. It's not very powerful. If you run into Sailum and Nausica, you can give this book to them too. "
Balba wanted to refuse, but Dave took the book before he could. "Thank you so much. I've been studying alchemy lately, and I need more cantrips."
Dave patted Balba's shoulder. "Come on, thank him."
Balba remained silent for a moment before he thanked Dave in a low voice.
"You're welcome. It's useless to me anyway. Just make sure you don't tell anyone else about it. "
These cantrips were arranged according to the cantrip models he found in the tablet's backend. Angor organized them into several booklets. This one recorded "Elementary Cantrips", which were about the same level as "Create Water". Angor only dared to use this book because it wasn't very effective.
If it was, he wouldn't be doing them any good. Instead, it would harm them.
