Angor's heart skipped a beat. He dashed to Leon's side and looked at the two-headed dog cautiously.
"Who are you?" Angor didn't attack right away. Since Padt Manor was now safe from monsters, this two-headed dog must have something to do with Thewis. Still, he didn't want to let his guard down.
Angor looked closer and noticed that the red fur on the two-headed dog's body was dancing in the air as if it was alive. One of the two heads was covered by a black ribbon and seemed to be sleeping, while the other head looked like a wolf. It chuckled when it heard Angor's question.
"Calm down, Angor. It's called Soapy, teacher's pet. "Leon's voice came from behind Angor.
Leon's words confirmed Angor's suspicion.
Soby nodded at Angor and turned to Leon. "Don't forget what I said. I'll be going now." Soby's sharp voice came from Leon's mouth.
With that, Soapy turned around and leaped out of the window. Its red fur danced in the air like a ball of flame.
Soapy was so fast that it disappeared from Angor's sight in just a few leaps.
Angor waited until Soapy was out of sight before he looked back at Leon. Leon's face was still pale. His body was wrapped in thick bandages, but he seemed to be in a good mood. He kept a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud. Moving his body would hurt his wounds.
"You seem to be in a good mood." Angor waved a hand and summoned a stool beside the bed.
"Yes." Leon smiled and nodded. "Just now, Su Bi told me that I have practiced the Will Forging Technique to the limit. I don't need to practice it anymore. I can start preparing to enter the meditation stage."
"Did it give you the channeling method?"
"Not yet. Soapy told me to find my teacher after I'm healed. My teacher will measure my talent and choose a channeling method suitable for me." After Leon said that, he suddenly laughed out loud. As a result, this laughter pulled on his injuries again, causing Leon to cry out in pain.
It took Leon a while to stop the pain. Instead of laughing, he could only express his joy with his sparkling eyes.
Of course, Angor understood Leon's feelings.
"It seems that Thewis has decided to accept you as his student."
Even though testing one's talent might seem like an ordinary action, it was still an extremely ordinary thing to do. However, according to the rules of the World of Adepts, this meant that Thewis was going to accept Leon as his successor.
Lyon had always regarded Thewis as his teacher. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, how could he not be happy?
"Judging from Su Bi's tone, that should be the case!" Leon laughed even harder. In the end, he was caught off guard and suffered another tragedy. "Ah, ouch ouch ouch —"
He took a look and saw that the bandage was bleeding again.
For the sake of Leon's safety, he decided not to mention Thewis again. "For your safety …"
He took out several scrolls from his bracelet and handed them to Leon. "Two Energy Barrier scrolls, one Dark Concealment scroll, and four Energy Blast scrolls. I have some more, but they're all elemental magic scrolls. They're not as effective as I expected in the Old Earth, so I can only give them to you for now. They should be enough for your defense. "
Leon did not refuse. "Thank you. I heard from Su Bi that you saved my life when I was poisoned by Tide Spiders."
"It's nothing. The Tide Spiders weren't created by humans. However, your cultivation method has surprised me greatly. " Angor was going to criticize Leon for hiding his cultivation method, but now he realized that Leon probably didn't want him to worry about it. Besides, Leon already told him that he didn't need to practice willpower casting anymore, so he didn't think too much about it.
"I thought your training was going well? Why did you suddenly make a mistake?" Angor asked out of curiosity.
Leon was taken aback. He saw Angor's flying boat flying over the waterfall and lost control of his mind, which led to his mistake. He could not bring himself to tell Angor about this, so he could only laugh it off.
Angor did not press Leon further. He only warned Leon that he should at least leave a backup plan for himself when doing such dangerous training in the future.
At the very least, it was better to have a servant keep an eye on him than to make a mistake and rush down the river when he cultivated alone.
Leon listened carefully, but Angor noticed that the boy's eyes were in a daze. Obviously, he was not listening.
Angor sighed helplessly. Everyone had their own path, and it was best not to interfere with other people's opinions. But after all, Lyon was his blood relative. He thought for a while and decided to craft a defensive tool for him in order to prevent something similar from happening to Lyon again.
Angor chatted with Leon for a while longer. The moon was already high in the sky. Leon was not fully recovered yet, so he was beginning to feel sleepy.
Angor told him to stay put.
Angor walked along the corridor to return to his room.
When he passed by the central corridor, he heard someone yelling outside. He looked down from the window and saw a dark-skinned young man wearing a hat. The man was holding his breath and yelling at a tree.
After several shouts, a thin stream of water vapor gushed out from his palm and washed away some of the dust on the tree.
Looking at the result of his efforts for half a day only to see a stream of water vapor, the young man was somewhat dejected and walked back in a depressed mood.
Angor raised an eyebrow. The young man was Tulu.
He had been busy with Jon's matter these days and did not pay much attention to Tulu. He knew that Tulu might be a Sea Elementalist, but he did not expect the boy to be so talented. Although Tulu wasn't satisfied with the water vapor he released, this was the Old Earth where the elemental energy was extremely thin. His water vapor could be used as a powerful water arrow or water bullet in the outside world.
Du Luneng's ability meant that he was already a beginner in meditation.
Being an apprentice before joining an organization was more than enough for Tulu to get a golden invitation.
But now, Tulu was wasting his talent in Padt Manor because of Angor. Angor rubbed his temples. Should he send Tulu back to Padt Manor first?
With that in mind, Angor returned to his room.
As a matter of fact, he wanted to go back to Brute Cavern and ask Sunders about Jon and the dream wasteland. Even if Sunders was not back yet, there should be someone who could contact him. All he needed to do was to pass on the message.
But going back to Brute Cavern would take a lot of time. Unless someone opened up a plane passageway and sent them on their way.
Leaving the plane passageway aside, his main purpose of returning was to talk about Jon. As for whether Jon was willing to expose his existence, Angor had to get Jon's permission first.
He put those thoughts aside and took out several Demon Falcon Bloodstones, Antique Platinum, and Star Iron from his bracelet.
He planned to craft Brulee's monocle first.
When he unfolded the parchment scroll drawn by Eureka and was about to start the crafting process, he sensed something approaching him from above.
Both Eureka and Thewis were probably watching him from the shadows.
Well, they weren't spying on him, either. They were obviously trying to tell him that they wanted to watch the battle.
Angor didn't mind if there were other people watching him, but he still didn't like the feeling of being watched. With a grim look, he activated his Nightmare Domain and completely blocked them from prying eyes.
Outside, Eureka and Thewis exchanged a look and sighed in silence.
"We can't see the alchemy, but his illusions are quite interesting. He's just like Phantom Master …" Thewis muttered to himself. Since he couldn't see alchemy, he might as well study illusions.
However, Thewis still couldn't figure out the difference between a Nightmare Domain and an illusion. Even after Angor removed the Nightmare Domain, Thewis still couldn't figure it out.
As soon as Angor removed the Nightmare Domain, Brulee immediately flew to the balcony of Angor's room.
A moment later, Brulee returned to Eureka's side with a new monocle on her head.
"He finished it in one night? Only enchantment alchemists can do something like that," Thewis exclaimed.
Eureka took the monocle and examined it carefully. Sure enough, the monocle was much better than Brulee's monocle.
"Low-tier mid-tier. Angor has a solid foundation in Tooling." Thewis frowned. "Huh? He's still not happy with us. "
Eureka gave Thewis a puzzled look.
Thewis pointed at the monocle. "He didn't inscribe his personal emblem on it, which means he didn't want to admit that he made it."
Eureka nodded. "That's probably what he meant when he asked Brulee to give him a sample." "Yeah, I think so too."
After all, if it was an alchemist who designed and refined it by himself, he would definitely carve his own logo.
Thewis sighed. "If Angor can engrave his own emblem on it, the monocle will be even more valuable."
Brulee grunted in dissatisfaction at Thewis' words.
"I'm not trying to sell it. I'm just stating the truth," Thewis explained.
Brulee didn't mind the monocle's appearance. She liked its appearance and function.
"It's normal that he doesn't like us. As long as he doesn't hate us too much, he should know what's good for him." Eureka didn't mind at all. Wizards were always scheming against each other, but as long as there was a common interest, they could still work together.
