Jebra had already turned into a water elemental and was heading toward the sea through the Saint Hymn River.
Just as he was about to reach the estuary, a water elemental with a blurry face suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Professor," Jebra called out in a low voice.
It was Flunza's water elemental avatar. He sighed and looked at Jebra. "Sliv told me what happened here."
"I'm sorry. I screwed up," Jebra lowered his head and apologized in a low voice.
"It's not your fault. No one would have thought that such a useless item would show up here." Flunza didn't blame Jebra. "You made a mistake, but at least you didn't start a war with him. As long as you don't go all out, things won't get worse. "
"Professor, do you mean I should keep following Angor? But he already found out that I'm following him, and he warned me not to follow him anymore. "
Flunza didn't answer Jebra's question right away. "Did you tell him about the alchemy item that can help us in the sea?"
"Nope. It's too complicated, and Angor doesn't like me. I didn't want to bring it up. "
"That's good." Flunza considered for a moment. "Do you still want to follow him?"
"No. Angor already passed Sliv's Word of Truth test. He doesn't know anything about the Mysterious Space." Jebra hesitated for a moment. "But I still haven't found that alchemy item —"
"If you don't want to follow Angor, then forget about it." Flunza shook his head. "Besides, Angor is already on guard. If you keep following him and get caught, things will only get worse."
"What if I don't follow Angor? Do we still need that alchemy item?" Jebra suddenly asked.
"Yes, of course we do. I have a feeling that the item will help Song of the Deep grow even more. " Flunza paused. "If we can get it, we'll slowly become stronger than our peers, and we'll have more room to maneuver against Imakan."
"But how am I supposed to get it now?" Jebra asked.
"In the World of Adepts, as long as there are enough benefits, even Adepts who have shed all pretense of cordiality can sit down and negotiate peacefully. Besides, we're not that close to Angor yet. "Flunza didn't really care about his relationship with Angor.
"Instructor, you mean to say that we should lure him with benefits?"
Flunza nodded with a smile. "Your senior sister, Sang Ye, has returned recently. She discovered an abandoned lab belonging to the Great Sorcerer of Trickery during her travels. She found an illusionary item in there."
Jebra knew exactly what Flunza was trying to do.
"Originally, I intended to let you negotiate with him and exchange for it through friendship. But since you made a mistake on your side, I can only use this illusion item as a bargaining chip." Flunza sighed. "Well, it's just a supplementary item anyway, and we don't have any illusionist apprentices. It's a fair trade."
"So, when should we do it?"
"At this time, his rebellious mentality might not have subsided yet. It's hard to calm down a young man's emotions, so the transaction can wait. As for when … Stay at the Land of Revelation for now. Once Angor returns home to visit his family, he'll definitely come back. Send some people to keep an eye on the ships of the White Clam Shipping Company. We'll make arrangements when we find Angor. "
Jebra finally felt relieved after hearing that. He didn't want to follow Angor anyway, and now, he got what he wanted.
"Did you encounter any problems during your training?" Flunza asked about Jebra's recent progress.
"Not really. But I ran into something interesting in Freighting Town."
…
Gondola was flying leisurely over the sea.
After entering the Whalebone Sea, Tulu finally regained his consciousness. He was still trying to figure out "who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?", but Angor didn't give him a chance to figure it out.
While Tulu took control of Gondola, Angor fell into deep thought.
He was still thinking about what Freud had said to him when he had left.
He didn't understand what Freud meant. If Freud swore an oath, Angor would have agreed to let him do the research himself. But Freud refused. When Angor was about to leave, Freud said he wanted Angor to join him after he finished his research.
Wasn't that self-contradictory? Angor couldn't understand Freud's logic at all.
But it didn't matter. Even if Freud joined Angor's research, the man could only provide him with ideas. Angor had to figure out all the practical details on his own.
Angor could do it all by himself.
And if Freud succeeded, he wouldn't mind going to see him. After all, Angor was the one who suggested this idea.
With Freud out of his mind, Angor went back to his lazy routine. During the day, he would lean against the railing and daydream. At night, when Tulu was resting, he would study Dream Walk and use Tulu as an experiment subject. From time to time, he would reach his spirit feelers into the sea to check if anyone was following him.
But Jebra seemed to have learned his lesson. Angor didn't sense anyone following him on the way.
And so, the days went by one after another.
Ever since he created Crimson Veil, he didn't have to worry about the Rat Ants anymore. In other words, he could now remove his disguise and return to his real appearance.
Still, it was too easy for him to maintain his lazy, unkempt appearance. No matter how unruly or unruly he was, it didn't feel wrong at all. Once he regained his true appearance, if he continued to laze around, Sunders would probably give him a good beating.
Before Sunders left, Angor stayed at Phantom Island for a while. During that time, Sunders didn't say anything, but whenever Angor showed any sign of laziness or wrinkles on his clothes, Sunders would automatically look at him.
Because of this, Angor's first disguise after leaving Phantom Island was that of a lazy, unkempt uncle.
More than half a month passed in such a lazy manner.
The Whalebone Sea was the last route before reaching the Old Earth.
According to Tulu's calculations, they would arrive at the Old Earth in a few days. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he thought about reuniting with the land he hadn't seen for so long.
Maybe it was because he was so close to home.
He had only been away for four years, but for someone who had never left his family, he had to learn how to be independent, embark on the path of wizardry, and keep the five-year promise in mind. It felt like many years had gone by in the blink of an eye.
Now that he was about to return to his homeland, he couldn't help but feel excited. Those dusty memories, as well as the memories that he had deliberately suppressed, were all released by him. He missed Jon, Leon, Head Maid Mana, Padt Manor, and all the villagers in Grue Town.
The longing made him want to go home as soon as possible.
Finally, in the middle of the Month of Blossom, he saw the coastline of the Old Earth.
Four years ago, he left during the Month of Freezing Earth. It was spring now, and he was eight months ahead of his five-year promise.
The coastline was already visible, but it would still take some time for him to reach it.
When he approached the continental shelf, he suddenly frowned.
He sensed that the active elemental energy around him suddenly became lazy. If he wanted to use it, he would need to spend more energy. Apart from the sluggish elemental energy, everything else was fine. Angor could easily cast an illusion without any problems.
When he was living in the Old Earth, he didn't feel anything strange about it. However, after he became an Extraordinary, he could clearly sense the elemental energy in the Old Earth that was different from the other continents.
This was why the Old Earth became an isolated place for Elementalists.
Before leaving Brute Cavern, Angor accepted both the guide mission and the "Mystery of Missing Elemental Elements in Fringe Islands", which had been on the list for a long time. He accepted the mission because there was no penalty for giving it up. Since he was going home anyway, he might as well accept it.
However, when he sensed the uniform distribution of elemental energy in the Old Earth, he realized how difficult the mission was.
This meant that he couldn't locate the source of the energy.
If he wanted to find the source, he would have to go through a thorough investigation. The Old Earth didn't look that big, but it would take years for him to go through the entire continent bit by bit.
Even if they spent a lot of time on it, they might not succeed. This was probably the reason why no one had completed this mission, even though almost every wizard organization had cheats.
After realizing how difficult the mission was, Angor decided to put it aside.
The most important thing now was to get home as soon as possible.
They landed on a deserted beach near the coast. There were no people around, and no fishing boats were stranded. Tulu didn't know where to go.
In the end, they decided to use the same method they used to go to the Land of Revelation. They would head inland and ask for directions when they met someone.
A moment later, they entered the forest. After flying over a tall mountain, Tulu suddenly pointed in a direction. "Sir, there's smoke over there. Someone might be there."
