Another half a month went by in the blink of an eye.
When the Month of Spring Sacrifice came to an end, Angor finally put down the tablet. Although he hadn't finished reading all the information recorded on the tablet, the rest were basically low-level cantrips or books from apprentice-related magazines. It was almost impossible to find a cure from them.
Angor leaned against the chair and thought for a while. Then he sighed.
Was there really no way to save Jon?
Was he really going to ask Sunders for help? But Sunders went to the Abyss Plane and probably didn't come back.
What should he do? Go to Greya?
Angor felt depressed. When he first came to the wizarding world, he wanted to save Jon and see more wonderful worlds. But now, he couldn't even fulfill his first wish. Even though he was improving rapidly, this feeling of failure still made him lose all his motivation.
Just as he was in a state of self-blame, there was a knock on the door.
He knew who it was. It was his personal maid, Auri.
Auri would knock on his door every few days. Even when Angor told her that he was going to train in seclusion, she wouldn't stop. From Auri's perspective, it was impossible for a person to go without food or water for so long. Every time she came, she would come with a dining cart, but she always came back empty-handed.
When Auri thought her efforts were in vain again, the door was suddenly opened from the inside. A tired voice came from inside. "Come in."
Auri's eyes lit up. She pushed the dining cart inside.
She immediately saw Angor sitting in front of his desk with one hand supporting his face. He looked a little tired.
"Are you alright, young master?" Auri asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." Angor saw the look of disbelief on Auri's face and forced a smile. "I'm fine."
There was a sense of silence in the air. Auri wanted to say something to comfort Angor, but she didn't. She didn't know what Angor had been doing these days, so she could only use her usual tone, such as "don't be too stubborn", "balance between work and rest", and other neutral topics.
Angor didn't interrupt Auri's rambling and let her put more food on the table. "Did anything happen during the month I was in seclusion?" Angor asked after Auri finished setting up the table.
He let Auri in because he wanted to know more about Leon's plan to solve the refugee problem.
Olga didn't know what Angor wanted to know. She only explained what she saw in detail.
Most of the descriptions were about the Krakoks. Thanks to the help of their kind-hearted servants, they managed to build a small village within a month. Initially, the servants wanted to help the Krakoks with the raw materials, but they were rejected by Kumamiya. Auri learned from Golden Cancan that the Krakoks didn't like the servants' work.
"By the way, Chief Kumaomiao asked me to tell you that the village hasn't been named yet. She hopes that you can name it for them the next time you visit," Olga said.
Next, Auri told Angor about the Moonlily Fairy and Toby. These two friends didn't seem to get along well with each other. Angor wondered what they were doing in the mountains.
There was also Nano. Golden Cancan led a group of sisters to protect three pieces of silk from Nano. Nano was so angry that he shut himself in his room for two days.
Most of Auri's stories were about the manor. She didn't know much about what happened in Grue Town.
"What about Leon? What's he doing? "
"Mister Viscount Leon often goes out early and comes back late at night. I think he's doing something at the refugee camp with Mister George."
"Do you know anything about the refugees?"
"I don't know." Auri shook her head. She didn't pay much attention to the outside world. She only cared about the small village in front of her.
Olga didn't know much about the refugees, but she did give him an interesting piece of information.
"But there's something strange. When I went to Grue Town to look for Blacksmith Tim, he told me that the number of refugees had decreased a lot. Even if there were refugees, they wouldn't stay in Grue Town."
Does this mean that Lyon has begun to implement restrictions on the refugees? Angor pondered.
When Auri left with her trolley, Angor activated his Nightmare Domain again.
He sat down at his desk and took out the Church of the Deceased.
First, he checked Torras with his spirit feelers. Torras was lying on his bed in the illusion and reading a novel with great interest.
He then noticed that Torras was reading a novel called "The Sound of Tide at Night".
It was an adventure novel based on a legendary pirate named "Torras the Ruthless" from two thousand years ago. For a while, Angor even thought that Torras was a great character in the novel.
But when he saw Torras' baby face in person, Angor's impression of Torras crumbled.
"Did I kill the legendary pirate, Redbeard? I don't remember killing him. Huh? Is Redbeard that strong? Am I that brave? There's no need to think about it. I'm the one who killed Red Beard! "Torras muttered to himself as he read his novel.
Angor didn't know what to say.
He had researched the book "The Shining Silver Age" and found that when Torras was dominating the Easternmost Sea, the legendary pirate Red Beard was only five or six years old. Therefore, it was impossible for the two to have fought each other.
However, The Sound of Tide was just a novel. Two legendary pirates existed in the same era. Even if Torras was alive or not, it wouldn't affect the novelist's style of writing.
Angor understood the novelist's style, but he didn't understand Torras' idiocy. Did he not know whether he killed Redbeard or not?
Angor didn't want to see Torras's smug look. He quickly recorded the condition of Torras's soul in his notebook and turned his attention to another room in the Church of the Deceased.
This used to be Freud's room. But since Freud stayed at Ferran, this place was empty. However, he didn't remove the illusion.
This was because Freud had left a lot of information about dreams here, including his book, Dream Entry.
That was why he came here to read the Dream Walk cantrip.
He had been studying Dream Walk every day for the past month. However, it wasn't fast enough. Plus, he had to save some time to check the hologram tablet, so he didn't have much time to study Dream Walk.
Now that he had confirmed that there were no records in the holographic tablet, he couldn't waste any more time when he couldn't find anything. He simply began to practice the dream trick seriously.
Apart from wanting to see Jon's dream, the "Dream Whelk of the Moonlight Coast" also required Dream Walk to test it.
After practicing Dream Walk, Angor spent most of his time studying "dreams" in his sleep, which helped him replenish his tired spirit.
A week later, Angor finally walked out of his room after staying in Ferran Manor for half a month.
His progress in Dream Walk was very slow. Every time he went to sleep, he would follow the rules of "lucid dreams" and fall into a deep sleep. He couldn't remember what he dreamed of when he woke up.
He couldn't even "lucid dreams", let alone Dream Walk.
Therefore, after being depressed for a week, he finally decided to go out and relax. Nothing was going well for him right now. If he didn't, he would only feel more stressed. He might as well give himself a half-day break.
It was late at night when Angor left the manor. Auri wasn't around. Angor used his spirit feelers and saw her cleaning the main hall with Head Maid Mana. Gold Cancan and her friends were also chatting with them.
Angor was glad to see the Krakoks getting along well with the people in the manor. In a way, he had fulfilled the Grand Priest's request.
Angor didn't bother them. Instead, he went to the Milkberry Tree.
Toby and the Moonlily Fairy were already on the tree. Toby rushed to Angor's shoulder and rubbed his head against Angor's cheek.
Toby liked the Moonlily Fairy a lot, but they were only friends. Toby saw Angor as his family member. It had been a month since they last saw each other, and Toby didn't hesitate to show how much he missed Angor.
Angor played with Toby for a while until the Moonlily Fairy arrived and handed Angor a cup that was even bigger than itself.
The cup was filled with the sap of the Milkberry Tree mixed with some syrup flowers. It tasted good.
Angor took the cup and looked at the Moonlily Fairy in surprise. As far as he knew, this little fairy was a coward who always hid behind others. Angor didn't expect it to grow bolder after staying in Padt Manor for a month.
Angor didn't tease the fairy. He took a big gulp from the cup.
"Angor?" Someone called out to him from behind when he was halfway through the drink.
Angor froze. He turned around and saw Leon walking toward them from the vegetable field.
At the same time, Leon also saw Angor's lips which were covered in some unknown substance.
Leon tried not to laugh. "You're drinking milk in the middle of the night?"
Angor wiped his mouth and pretended that nothing happened. "The Moonlily Fairy gave it to me. It's getting bolder, so I drank it as a form of encouragement."
Leon's eyes were full of smiles. Angor didn't know whether Leon believed him or not.
Angor twitched his lips and decided to change the topic. "You came back in the middle of the night to deal with the refugees, right?"
It was obvious that Angor was trying to change the topic, but Leon didn't expose him. Instead, he decided to play along.
