When the mist dissipated, Angor could see the tracks shining brightly in his memory.
He didn't remember all the details of the tracks. He only remembered a small part of them, but it was enough to enlighten him.
"Accumulation," Angor muttered. That small part was clearly a part of a rune.
In the mageweath, the meaning of this corner was: Accumulation!
"So, that's a magic array?" Angor asked.
Rein chuckled. "As expected. As an enchantment alchemist, the Enchantment Path outside can't stop you."
"Enchantment Path? That's the name of the magic array? " Angor searched his memory and didn't find anything about it in any books he read about magic arrays. So it wasn't a magic array that could be used in enchantment.
"Yes, that's the name of the magic array. The Enchantment Path is one of the main reasons why the mirror world has such a high concentration of primal mana. It absorbs a large amount of primal mana from the outside world and transmits it to various locations in the mirror world through the illusions of the magic array, "Rein explained." That white pigeon you saw earlier is an illusion of the array. "
An illusion of a magic array. Angor wasn't unfamiliar with the term. He didn't know anything about magic arrays other than enchantment, but he knew that every advanced Rune Sorcerer had their own way of operating magic arrays, and illusions were one of them.
However, the school of runes that used illusions belonged to an ancient school of thought and was no longer the mainstream. As the era changed, most of the magic arrays were now operated by magic puppets.
"I see." When he arrived at the Cloud Tower, he sensed that the concentration of mana in the area suddenly increased. It must be because this place was the core of the magic array, where the illusions resided.
Rein waved a hand, and the window behind him suddenly opened. A white pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on Rein's hand.
Angor was still puzzled when Rein handed the pigeon to him.
Rhine smiled and said, "I'll give you this phantom."
"Take it?" Angor didn't know how to respond. He didn't want to refuse, but he also didn't want to accept it.
"What? You don't want it? " Rein raised an eyebrow. "Almost every wizard in Brute Cavern has an Apparition of Demon Absorption. The place where the Phantom is located is the extension of the magic array. "
In other words, as long as there were phantoms flying, the concentration of primal magic power there would naturally increase.
Phantom Island had a higher concentration of primal mana compared to other places because of the Phantom Spirits.
Angor listened to Rein's nagging. He immediately understood what Rein meant. Brute Cavern was giving him more resources. So … Brute Cavern accepted Brute Cavern's core members in advance?
Since Rein didn't point it out, Angor couldn't be sure.
But no matter what, accepting this Phantom was definitely not a mistake.
Angor nodded. "Thank you, Mister Rein."
Rein knew that Angor already knew what he meant. He nodded with a smile and tossed the white pigeon to Angor's side.
The pigeon circled around Angor as if trying to memorize his scent. A moment later, the bird nodded at Angor and flew out of the room.
Rein didn't really mean to "give" the Phantom to Angor. He just wanted the Phantom to remember Angor's scent. The Phantom would still live in the Cloud Tower. When Angor gained his own territory in the future, the Phantom would move the node of Demon Absorption to Angor's territory to increase the concentration of primal mana there.
After accepting the Phantom, Angor noticed that Rein was no longer estranged from him. Also, Rein began to reveal some secrets about Brute Cavern to Angor.
For example, Angor knew that Brute Cavern had a high-tiered Sorcerer's Garden, but he didn't know what it was. Now, Rein told him about it — the Myriad Spirit Garden.
Angor also learned another secret. Baroque, who almost got him replaced by Parasite Queen in Sky Tower, also came to Brute Cavern for the Myriad Spirit Garden. However, Angor never got a chance to enter the garden.
Since Rein told him about the mediation between different factions, Angor's guess was correct. He was accepted into the core of Brute Cavern ahead of time.
Was it because of his alchemy skills?
However, Rein didn't tell Angor about the power distribution among wizards in Brute Cavern. It wasn't that Rein didn't want to tell Angor, but Angor wasn't strong enough yet. Rein didn't want Angor to get involved in these conflicts.
Right now, Rein's priority was to help Angor grow stronger. Too much talking about other things would only get in the way.
Besides, Angor was an alchemist.
Rein believed that even the most hostile factions in Brute Cavern wouldn't do anything to Angor.
After telling Angor everything, Rein turned to Angor and said, "Before your professor left, he talked to me about you."
Angor's ears perked up as soon as he heard Sunders' words.
"He said you're working on a research paper about undead creatures and souls. How's it going? If you find something useful, you can submit it to Mirror. "
Mirror was the official magazine of Brute Cavern, and its target audience was the wizards of Brute Cavern. Rein didn't believe Angor could come up with anything impressive. However, if Angor really submitted the paper, Rein wouldn't mind commenting on it and publishing it in Mirror.
This was also a way to tell other wizards in Brute Cavern that Angor was now a core member of Brute Cavern.
Angor knew Rein was talking about the irreversible theory of undead creatures and souls.
As a matter of fact, Sunders already suggested that Angor publish this paper in Mirror if he didn't mind. However, Angor was in a hurry to get home, and he didn't complete his experiment on Prelude to Rebirth, so he only gave Sunders an excuse.
Now that Rein brought this up, Angor began to think about it seriously.
He was lucky enough to restock Prelude to Rebirth's white bullets at Specter Sea and successfully completed an experiment to turn Torras from an undead creature back into a soul.
After observing Torras for a while, Angor noticed that Torras didn't turn into an undead creature again. This proved that the irreversible theory of undead creatures and souls was wrong.
Angor didn't mind publishing the result of his research. However, he couldn't use Torras as an example.
If someone found out that Torras was the one who went to the dark dimension at Silver Palm Island, he would have no way to explain himself.
With that in mind, Angor spoke to Rein, "Sir, I've been working on this topic, but I'm not done yet. I need more experiments. It'll take some time before I publish it. "
Rhine smiled and said, "It's fine. Research is a long-term thing. There's still a long way to go, so you can take your time. Also, you can publish any research paper you come up with in Mirror. "
As one of the reviewers of Mirror, Rein didn't mind helping Angor out a little.
Next, Rein and Angor talked about alchemy, including Ocean Rhythm, which Rein greatly praised. Angor was worried that Rein would insist on experimenting with Ocean Rhyme himself. Fortunately, Rein only suggested that Angor hold a class in Tree Spirit Garden when he had time in the future. He could charge other apprentices to learn Ocean Rhyme and improve their affinity with water.
Rhine was only giving a suggestion. He did not force it, nor did he test the rhythm of the ocean.
Angor sighed in relief and agreed to Rein's suggestion.
"Like I said, we're just chatting. I'm the one doing the talking. Don't you have anything to ask?"
Angor quickly nodded. He had been worried about talking to one of the most powerful wizards in the entire southern wizardry region, so he didn't dare to interrupt. Now that Rein was offering him a chance, Angor had to seize it.
"I happen to have some free time today. Feel free to ask anything you want." Rein chuckled. "If you have someone in mind, I can talk to them for you."
Angor didn't know what to say. Rein was always trying to matchmake people. When Greya was creating the spell, Rein was there too. Not only did Rein persuade Sunders to marry a woman named Samantha, but he also mentioned that Greya could be considered as well. Angor could see how passionate Rein was about this. Angor didn't expect that Rein would ask him to do such a thing one day.
"I don't have anyone in mind for now. I'll focus on my training." Angor quickly changed the topic. "Sir, do you know how to contact my professor? I have something to discuss with him. "
"Sunders?" Rein considered. "He's at the front line of the Abyss Plane, so it's not easy to reach him. Do you have something important to do? "
"It's about Nightmare Form and Nightmare Domain."
He was planning to answer Angor's questions on behalf of Sunders if the questions were simple enough. But if it was Nightmare Form and Nightmare Domain, there was nothing he could do. Nightmare Form was a secret art unique to Phantom Demons.
Rein considered. "If you really want to talk to Sunders, how about this —"
