Flunza noticed the obvious desire in Jebra's eyes and asked, "Are you sure you can keep him here?"
Flunza was currently in Song of the Deep, and even with his water clone, he could only rely on himself. Jebra could only rely on himself if he wanted to fight Angor.
"I don't know." Jebra hesitated.
"You can't keep him here. According to what I heard, the seabird wasn't the only one who learned the sequence of gravity. Angor also learned it himself. If he wants to run, even a wizard won't be able to catch him. "
Flunza paused for a moment. "There's no need to offend him now. You can try to approach him in the normal way and get your hands on that item. Of course, if you can find a chance to steal it, it's up to you. "
Jebra frowned. "You're saying that I have to stay with Angor?"
Jebra tried to explain again, but before he could, Flunza cut him off. "The incident at Silver Palm Isle isn't over yet. Imakan already knows what we're trying to do. We're going to use that Mystery item to wipe out the otherworldly invaders once and for all. They're still trying to kill us. You'll only get yourself killed if you go back. You might even get — "
Jebra already knew what Flunza was trying to say. Imakan's faction wanted Jebra dead so badly because Jebra's special body was very likely to become a truth-finder. By then, Flunza and Imakan would be able to shake the entire faction. Therefore, they wouldn't hesitate to get rid of the offworldly invaders.
"But even if I don't go back to Song of the Deep, I can always find a random place to do my research or travel to other planes. At least it's better than following Angor, "Jebra argued.
"Is that so?" Flunza glanced at him. "You've already broken through your bottleneck, which saved you at least two years of effort. Are you sure Angor won't help you?"
Jebra didn't know what to say, but he couldn't find any words to refute because it was the truth.
"Do you know where Angor is going next?" Flunza asked.
"He accepted a recruitment mission. If I'm not mistaken, he's going to look for talents at the Land of Revelation. As for his ultimate goal, I learned from the Rat Ant Underground Society that he seems to be preparing to return to his homeland. "
Flunza considered for a moment. "If you really don't want to follow him, you can stay at the Land of Revelation or go to one of the mortal continents nearby. But you still have to be careful, it's best to stay near the coast, I don't know if Yima Gan will invite others to deal with you. "
For example, Jebra might not be able to kill Angor because he had the sequence of gravity. If Jebra was in his shoes, he would never be able to stop him from escaping. In a way, the entire ocean could be used to support Jebra.
If Imakan really sent someone to deal with Jebra, Jebra would be the safest person around the coast.
Jebra's eyes lit up when he heard that. Following Angor gave him some benefits, but compared to stalking people, he preferred a free life. Living alone in the Land of Revelation was much better than having to keep track of Angor's whereabouts.
"Got it." Jebra nodded and changed the topic again. "So, professor, what's the effect of your alchemy item?"
Flunza shook his head. "I don't know. From what I heard from the mermaid, it might be able to increase affinity with water. But other than that, I'm sure it has other effects on sea wizards as well. The strange ripple I sensed earlier must have come from that sigh.
"If I'm not mistaken, that sigh is a manifestation of the will of the sea. Any alchemy item that contains such a will is a rare treasure, and it's very likely to be a strategic item. If we can get our hands on it, it'll be a great help to us. "
"But if we can't steal it, how are we going to make a deal with him? I don't think he'll do it that easily. Besides, if I go to him and tell him I want to buy it, he'll know I'm following him. "
Flunza didn't mind at all. "It's simple. We just need to muddy the waters a little."
"Muddy the waters?"
"Recently, Angor's music box has become a hot topic in the southern wizarding region because of its insane price. But as more and more people are finding their way around, his popularity is slowly waning. Why don't we add some oil to the fire and let him get even more attention? "
"You mean …" Jebra pondered for a moment.
"Send the video you just recorded to some magazines in the southern wizarding region. Once the news gets out, everyone will know about Angor's alchemy item. Once the waters are muddy, you can just go to him and buy it."
"But won't other people want to buy it too?" Jebra hesitated.
"Not everyone can afford a high-tier alchemy item. Besides, they won't know what Angor's alchemy item is like in a short period of time. "
Jebra agreed with Flunza's suggestion. But he wasn't sure if Angor would be willing to sell it.
Flunza didn't seem to mind. "Everything has a price tag. Let's see if your price is good enough to tempt him. Besides, there aren't many sea wizards in Brute Cavern. Alchemy items useful to sea wizards won't be of much use to him anyway. I'm sure he won't refuse if you give him a reasonable price. "
With that settled, Jebra decided to follow Angor. According to the plan, he couldn't act alone for the time being, so he had to follow Angor. Before Angor returned to the Fey Continent, he had to contact Angor and express his interest. Once Angor returned to the Fey Continent and told others about the alchemy item's effects, there would be a lot of competitors, who wouldn't necessarily be able to buy it.
After Jebra left, he continued to follow Angor. Flunza's clone in the water slowly disappeared as well.
The sea returned to its calm state. Only a single bubble carrying the recorded video was traveling across the boundless ocean toward the Fey Continent.
No one knew what kind of effect this bubble would have on the Southern Region Magus World.
…
Two days later, Angor left the illusion created by Ocean Rhythm.
During the past two days, he had tried to use the illusion many times. Just like what he experienced in the illusion, he died many times. Only that time, he was lucky enough to find the "sea goddess" right after entering the illusion.
When Angor finally left the illusion, he still couldn't hide the shock on his face. He never thought that the "sea goddess" he created could be so divine. Even now, he couldn't help but feel a sense of holiness lingering in his mind.
However, when he tried to recall the face of the "sea goddess" again, his memory suddenly froze.
It was a beautiful face. But he couldn't remember it. None of his other memories had disappeared. Only the face of the Sea Goddess remained. No matter how hard he tried to recall it, it was just an illusion.
"Maybe it's because I can't look at the face of a god lightly?" Angor studied the "sea goddess" with great interest and wrote down his theory in his notebook.
Angor didn't know much about the "sea goddess" when he created the illusion. Therefore, he decided to analyze the illusion bit by bit, hoping to solve the mystery of Ocean Rhythm as soon as possible. Even if he couldn't recreate it, he would at least learn more about it.
While Angor was writing, Tulu also fell out of the illusion. Every time he used Ocean's Rhythm, he would cover Tulu as well. This was to help Tulu build a solid foundation, which was also a reward for Tulu's hard work.
However, Tulu didn't feel the same way.
His face was still in a daze. After a long while, he said bitterly, "I died again."
"Isn't that normal? You get used to it." Angor didn't mind at all. If he counted the illusion, he would have died hundreds of times already.
Tulu mumbled in a low voice, "Too many deaths. My young heart can't take it. Mister Padt, please don't take me with you next time, okay? "
Angor gave Tulu a meaningful glance. "You'll regret it in the future."
"I won't!" Tulu said without hesitation.
Angor grinned and agreed to Tulu's request.
For the rest of the day, Angor only used Ocean Rhythm to cover himself. By the time Angor finished studying the illusion, it was already the night of the second day.
"Mister Padt, can you bring me with you the next time you use the illusion?" Tulu asked cautiously, "Can you bring me with you, Mister Padt?"
Angor raised an eyebrow. "What? You changed your mind all of a sudden? Why? "
Tulu scratched his head awkwardly. Then he reached out his hands and covered his fingers with a thin layer of water mist.
Looking at the mist, Tulu was overjoyed. "I feel like I've suddenly gained a deeper understanding of water. Mister Padt, is this the effect of Ocean Rhythm? "
Angor nodded in surprise.
He thought Tulu would regret his decision after entering Brute Cavern, but he didn't expect Tulu to give in so quickly. More importantly, he was only a half-baked channeling method talent. He hadn't even crossed the threshold of an apprentice. How could he already manipulate water elements so easily?
Judging from the speed of learning, it was much faster than Angor's.
"So … different talents have different effects." Angor pondered.
He wrote down his theory in his notebook.
While he was writing, Tulu was still looking at him with pleading eyes. How could Tulu not understand the benefits of Ocean Rhythm? He regretted what he said yesterday. If he had left himself some leeway, he wouldn't have gone back on his words and gotten slapped in the face.
"That's it for now. I'll be more careful in the future when I try to test the Ocean Rhythm again. Unless something unexpected happens, I won't be using illusions again. "
With that, Angor closed his eyes and put the book back into his bracelet.
Tulu, on the other hand, wore a sorrowful expression.
Angor didn't say that just to annoy Tulu. Now that he was done with Ocean Rhythm, he needed to do more experiments.
For example, he wanted to see how fast he could learn a new water cantrip.
