Time ticked by. Suddenly, Sunders looked at Raven and asked, "Mister Raven, did you enter the wizarding world through the proper channels?"
Raven glanced at Sunders without saying anything.
≈
"So I was right. You're reaching the end of your lifespan, aren't you?"
Raven looked up and stared at Sunders with a cold and judgmental look.
"What do you want to say?" Raven spoke in a low voice with a strange tone.
"Nothing. I just want to tell you one thing. Sneaking into the wizarding world isn't a trivial matter. By the way, don't trust a wizard's promise so easily. "Sunders looked at Sliv.
"Wizard of Big Fish, Sliv. I hope you can show me Raven's certificate the next time we meet. Otherwise, it won't be me who comes looking for you. It'll be the Supreme Cult's enforcers instead. "
While Sliv stared at her blankly, Flora tossed the scroll into the air.
In the next second, a strange crack appeared in front of them.
Under Sliv's incredulous gaze, Sunders and Flora went into the crack and disappeared.
Sliv could not believe his eyes as he watched the two disappear. He had the perfect opportunity, but they still managed to escape! And why was their teleportation array still working?
Sliv glared at Raven in anger.
Raven shook his head. "The barrier wasn't triggered. They didn't leave through a plane passageway."
Sliv used his spirit feelers to check the area. Indeed, there were no spatial ripples. Damn it! Then how did they manage to leave?! Did they use a displacement spell? No, there was no spell ripple.
Sliv almost lost his mind. He did not plan to let Sunders go this time. He already arranged for the other members of Song of the Deep to make sure Sunders stayed here forever no matter what he did. Otherwise, there would be endless troubles.
Besides, Sunders or Brute Cavern might take revenge on them. Raven's identity was already a big problem.
A stowaway from another world in the wild was not a big deal, but if it was a stowaway with great strength, then it would be a big problem. If the Supreme Sect accused him of "revealing the secrets of wizards" because of the crow, he would have nowhere to cry.
Even if the secret was leaked, Sliv would have a hard time entering the wizarding world without a guide.
However, Sliv did not leak the secret at all. All he did was make a deal with Raven for a life-prolonging potion so that Raven could become Song of the Deep's pet fighter. If the Supreme Cult's enforcers were to investigate him, they would say that he had only made a deal with Raven to make a life-prolonging potion. But if they were to accuse him of leaking the secrets of the alchemy potion to the otherworldly stowaways, that would be troublesome.
Damn it! Sliv clenched his fists. He had nowhere to vent his anger.
Not only did they not gain anything, but they also offended Sunders. To avoid being targeted by the Supreme Cult, they had to get rid of Raven as soon as possible. What a great loss!
Sliv thought the current situation was bad enough, but what he didn't expect was that there was something worse waiting for him.
…
The cloud whale was leisurely flying under the thunderclouds.
After experiencing the thunder and lightning several days ago, the ranch outside was already in a mess. Fortunately, the weather was much better these days. Apart from the thunderclouds that had yet to disperse, there were few bolts of lightning.
He also moved back to his small tent.
Today, he took an afternoon nap and left the tent full of energy. Since Sunders and Flora were not around, Angor felt much better. Even Toby's chirping on his head did not disturb his good mood.
As soon as he stepped into Sunders' luxurious tent, Toby immediately flew out of his hair, did a few circles in the air, and headed straight to the dining hall.
Butler Goode set up a small compartment for Toby in the dining area, which had all kinds of food and toys.
Angor did not go to the dining hall. Instead, he went to the library, closed the door, and drew the curtains. After making sure he did not miss anything, he took out an ancient bronze pocket watch from his inner pocket.
The pocket watch was given to him by Irene when he left The Redbud.
The oval-shaped pocket watch was designed with a flip cover. The metal cover was embossed with patterns, and when he turned it over, he could see the white face of the clock.
However, he did not open it from the front. Instead, he unscrewed it from the back. When he opened the cover, he immediately saw the fine rotating gears and bars of the clock.
From one side of the gears, Angor gently picked up a square crystal as thin as a cicada's wing.
This crystal sheet was the precious gift that Master Jon had given him — the holographic tablet.
When Sunders and Flora were on the cloud whale, Angor did not use the tablet just in case. Now that they were not here, Angor had nothing to worry about, so he had to make full use of the tablet.
Sunders once said that he could read all the books in the library as he wished before he arrived at Endless Continent. There were a lot of books in the library. More than a hundred thousand paperbound books were placed all over the place. Angor did not have a photographic memory, so before he arrived at Goman Kingdom, he only read some basic books. So far, he had only read about a hundred books.
Now that Sunders was not here, Angor had other ideas.
The hologram tablet had a recording function. He could not remember all the books, but he could use the function to store them in the tablet.
So, on the second day after Sunders left, Angor switched to being a cameraman lion and spent a lot of time on the shooting process.
Today was the fifth day of shooting, and Angor had already recorded 99% of the books in the library. Only some rare leather books were left.
The shooting process was easy. When the oil lamp on the chopping board began to dim, Angor had already recorded the last part of the book.
Angor checked the time. There was still some time before dinner time. He turned on the hologram tablet and sorted all the pictures he took so far.
During these days, Angor did not pay attention to the contents of the books, but he had a general idea about the distribution of books in Sunders' library.
The books in the library seemed to be carefully collected by Sunders. There were eleven bookshelves in total, each of which was four meters tall and had a double-sided floor-to-ceiling shelf. There were about a hundred thousand books in total. The first two bookshelves contained knowledge about apprentices and some general knowledge about wizards.
Starting from the third bookshelf, Angor could vaguely see the traces of formal wizards. The third bookshelf contained rare leather books with a long history. Most of the leather was cracked, and they were mostly about the travels of ancient wizards or some anecdotes. Other than that, he could also find some ancient spells. For example, "Initial Glory", which recorded the birth of the first meditation technique, was also in the list.
The fourth bookshelf was mostly about wizards. However, there were few spells recorded. Most of them were biographies of famous people, and some key points in training. The fifth to the first bookshelves were the ones Angor was most interested in. There were a lot of miscellaneous books, such as Rune Drawing, Basic Alchemy, Material Extraction, Illustrated Handbook of Abyssal Monsters … But most of them were very basic. In other words, Sunders' library did not contain any profound books.
Angor guessed that Sunders must have screened some of them before showing them to him. Sunders probably wanted Angor to learn by analogy so that he could find his own path in the future.
