Angor felt a little frustrated about what just happened, but it was not a bad ending. At least he could forget about Jebra's favor for the time being.
Moreover, this mishap should reduce their suspicions of him by a lot. After all, Sliv's Truth Check told him that he didn't take the Mystery item.
"Are you alright, Mister Padt?"
Freud suddenly spoke up. "You're right," Angor said.
Freud continued when he saw Angor's puzzled look. "I think Mister Sliv's aura hurt you, sir."
Freud was referring to the incident where Angor vomited blood.
"I'm fine." Angor waved his hand. He was not injured at all. "You said he's Mister Sliv. Do you know him?"
Freud nodded. "I've only heard rumors about Mister Sliv. He's from Song of the Deep, nicknamed 'Warlock of Big Fish'. He's an expert in both Summoning and Ocean spells. That giant ray under his feet is his summoned beast, Becky. "
"Warlock of Big Fish, Sliv." Angor muttered the name in a low voice. He didn't show any emotion on his face, but he had already committed the name to memory.
Freud wanted to ask more about the incident, but he swallowed the words back down. He was now a soul. What difference would it make if he knew the name?
Soon, they arrived at Freighting Town.
Angor sensed the illusion around the orphanage and saw Tulu sleeping on the playground with a frightened look on his face.
Alda was sitting on a wooden horse beside him, looking at the mist outside the safe zone with curious eyes.
Angor entered the orphanage. But before he could go any further, he suddenly stopped under a tree near the entrance and frowned.
He realized that the green-faced fanged ghost that he had set up around the tree had disappeared.
He sensed that everything else in the illusion was normal except for the Green-faced Fanged Ghost. Even the illusion node he set up for the Green-faced Fanged Ghost had disappeared.
"With Sunny and Yada's level, they won't be able to destroy the illusion nodes I set up. It's even more impossible for a mortal like Tulu. "
Although he had casually set up these illusion nodes, only a Level-2 Apprentice could destroy them. It didn't take him long to figure out who did it.
Jebra.
Other than him, there was no one else who would think of her.
He couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he thought about how Jebra followed him all the way here. However, he didn't expect anyone to follow him. Now that he was prepared, he could keep using his spirit feelers to sense the energy flow around him. By then, Jebra would have a much harder time following them.
Needless to say, Jebra was following him because of the missing Lucas' skull.
Now, he really wanted to know who took Lucas' skull away from him. The Leviathan was the most powerful being outside the "door" at that time, followed by Flunza, the god of the sea. Who was it that dared to steal food from Flunza?
Angor was only looking at it out of curiosity. As far as he was concerned, this matter had nothing to do with him anymore. As for Lucas's skull, which he had once missed, other than feeling regretful, he also wanted to know who was its fated person in the end.
He heard footsteps coming from the building ahead of him.
He looked up and saw Sunny hovering at the entrance of the building. She was wearing a bright red dress and holding a file in her hand.
"Mister Dissen!" Sunny ran to Freud in excitement.
Freud stroked Sunny's head as she rushed into his arms. His eyes were filled with tenderness.
Angor sighed and cleared his mind. "We'll see each other again in the future. Right now, I have something else to do. Come with me, Freud. "
Instead of waking Tulu up, Angor activated his Nightmare Domain right in front of Sunny and covered both of them.
Sunny looked at the illusion in front of her and felt a little annoyed. However, she quickly calmed herself down when she thought about how strong Angor was. She walked into the ruined building while looking back several times at each step.
Inside the Nightmare Domain, Angor and Freud were sitting across from each other on a luxurious sofa.
A teacup band was playing in the air around them, and a group of toy soldiers were playing around them. A dragonfly with colorful wings was hovering above Angor's ear.
Freud couldn't believe what he was seeing. At first, he thought it was just an illusion. But when he saw the lively teacup band and toy soldiers, he couldn't believe it. But if it wasn't an illusion, then what was it?
"Mister Padt, is this real or an illusion?" Freud's curiosity got the better of his rationality.
"Maybe. Maybe it's real," Angor answered.
Freud didn't know what Angor meant. He thought Angor was unwilling to tell him.
But Freud misunderstood him. Angor often wondered whether the Nightmare Domain, Nightmare Realm, and the nightmare monsters in Padt Manor were real or just illusions.
He was answering Freud's question, but he was also answering his own question.
"It doesn't matter where we are. Let's get down to business." Angor straightened his posture and looked at Freud in the eyes. "As you can see, I'm going to leave the Land of Revelation for some unforeseen reasons. Before I leave, I still have some matters to take care of regarding you. "
"Back at the Sea of Purification, I promised to set you free as long as I get the Dream Whelk. Now, it's time for me to keep my promise."
"From now on, you're free."
Freud didn't know what to do. Before his death, he still had a great goal in mind. But now, he couldn't do it anymore, so he had no idea what he should do in the future.
He spent some time in Angor's illusion. But as he read the books Angor created, he slowly forgot about the pain and began to plan for his future. He began to research many topics that he had not completed before. He wanted to use this to find his future goals.
But it was too difficult to set a new goal for himself. He still hadn't found his future.
But now, Angor had given him freedom. However, he didn't know what he should do in the future. He stood there in a daze for a long time without saying anything.
"You don't look happy. Why?" Angor asked after a moment of silence.
Freud chuckled bitterly and told Angor what was on his mind.
"Are you worried about your future?" Angor tapped his fingers on the desk and considered. "You wrote a lot about the subject of possession, right? You can find a new body and start a new life. You can even find your old path again. "
"It's already hard enough to find a body that's compatible with my soul. It's even harder to find a suitable body to walk the path of wizardry. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. "Freud shook his head.
"It's not impossible, but it's not impossible.
Even if it's possible, I'll have to spend the rest of my life trying to find a suitable body. But I'm a soul now, and everything I do will consume my soul energy. I have to train my soul energy while looking for a new body. Maybe my soul will disappear on its own. "Freud didn't expect to walk the path of wizardry again.
Freud was a dead soul, and he was weak when he was alive. This meant that Freud would have to find a suitable body for his soul to possess. Greya, on the other hand, had a powerful soul. Even if she lost her body, she could find a new one, and she could even force her body to merge with someone else's body and continue her training.
Freud's current situation made him very confused. After all, he was once a supernatural, and it was natural for him to want to live a normal life again.
"Can I stay with you, Mister Padt?" Freud asked after a moment of silence.
"Why? You can't do whatever you want with me. "
"Mister Padt, you've read my research on the Dream Whelk, right? I want to finish it. I think it's a great project. "
"You think it's your future goal?"
"I don't know. But I have a feeling. Maybe I can use it to achieve my goal. "
Angor gave Freud a thoughtful look. "You think the Dream Whelk can really be combined with illusions?"
Freud wanted to say yes, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Like before, I don't think it's a good idea, but I don't think it's going to happen." Angor paused for a second. "Compared to the study on combining dreams and illusions, I think the book I gave you earlier might be more helpful."
Angor was referring to Lucid Dream Research.
Lucid dreaming was actually maintaining a lucid state while dreaming, possessing complete logical consciousness and subjective behavior.
One of Freud's research projects was about using the Dream Whelk to pull alchemy items into a dream and conduct alchemy experiments without using any materials or limiting the number of times they could be used.
This idea could be called "Infinite Alchemy".
Angor found it interesting. By studying the Dream Whelk's characteristics, he might be able to achieve it.
However, Freud wanted to combine dreams and illusions in order to achieve infinite alchemy. Since Angor didn't know how to combine dreams and illusions, he thought about lucid dreams. Maybe lucid dreams could help him achieve infinite alchemy. That was why he gave the book to Freud.
"Lucid Dream is also called Lucid Dream, sir. This wasn't a difficult task for any sorcerer who studied dream spells. I tried to combine Lucid Dream with the Dream Whelk, but it didn't work, "Freud explained.
"Why?"
"It's too random. The Dream Whelk pulls non-living objects into a dream, and they'll appear at random locations. Even if I can use Lucid Dream to enter the dream world, I won't be able to find them. "
"Then why do you think combining the Dream Whelk and my illusions will work?"
"Because you're the God of Creation in your illusions, sir. You can control everything in your illusions. If you can combine the illusions with the Dream Whelk, you'll be able to limit its range and location. As long as the Dream Whelk doesn't appear at random locations, this Mystery item will be even more powerful than a Strategic Mystery item. "
Angor shrugged. "That's a good idea. But I still can't find a way to combine dreams and illusions."
Freud shook his head. "I'm still not sure about this. But just now, I suddenly thought of something. Perhaps my guess is not groundless. "
"What do you mean?"
"I told you that you can only use dream energy to activate the Dream Whelk. But Mister Padt successfully activated the Dream Whelk, and Neya was there, so I couldn't ask. Now, can you tell me what kind of energy you used to activate the Dream Whelk? "
