He was in a forest far away from Tree Spirit Garden.
The mountain had a horizontal peak called Rose Peak, which was surrounded by clouds.
Sitting on the airship, Angor could already see a sea of red under the clouds. He could already smell the faint scent of roses from afar.
That was Leona's Rose Garden.
Angor had never stepped into the garden before, but he was familiar with it. More than once, Sunders told Angor to go to Leona's Rose Garden if he had any questions about alchemy.
It was just that Angor never went there.
Angor did not fly to Rose Peak directly. Instead, he landed at the foot of the mountain. He followed the mountain path and slowly climbed to the top.
Leona had set up a layer of poison cloud above the Rose Peak to prevent any disturbances. Angor would be asking for death if he kept going.
The only way forward was to use his feet to measure the path.
When he was halfway up the mountain, he was blocked by thorns. Through the thorns, he could see the shadow of a building behind him, as well as a small path that led to the dark forest.
However, the thorns covered the sky like a tall wall. Anyone who wanted to enter had to either fly or cut through the wall.
Flying would lead to entering the poison cloud, while cutting through the wall would offend Leona. Therefore, there was only one way to get in. Bribe Leona.
Angor heard some rumors about the Rose Garden before, so he knew that the wall of thorns was actually a rose from the Rose Garden at the top of the mountain.
As long as you bribed the flower, it would open up a path for you.
Angor did not need to bribe though. He took out a beautiful crystal rose from his bracelet. When the rose appeared, the thorns parted on their own as if they sensed something.
Angor nodded in satisfaction and went through the thorns.
However, as soon as he stepped through, he heard a shrill voice. "Ugh. I thought it was a fat sheep. Who would've thought it's Master's token?"
The crystal rose was the token of entry to Rose Garden, which was given to him by Sunders.
Angor pretended he did not hear anything and kept climbing up the mountain path. The higher he went, the stronger the fragrance became. When he reached the entrance of the Rose Garden, the refreshing fragrance became even more obvious.
However, he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
Not long after he reached the entrance of the Rose Garden, he heard a creak. The gate was opened from the inside.
A skinny young man wearing a pair of goggles and some freckles on his face was looking at Angor in surprise.
"Angor —" The young man was Davy, whom Angor had not seen for a long time....... Davy opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a rose.
The rose rose extended its vines and reached Angor's face.
"You're Angor? Angor?? " It was a giant rose with a mouth and sharp fangs. It looked at Angor from head to toe and spoke in a regretful tone, "You're a fat lamb. Too bad you have the token."
So this was the rose who loved to take bribes?
"Even if you have the token of passage, don't you know that you have to pay respects to the mountain to go to a foreign place? . rules.......................
. "Davy pulled the rose vines and tossed them aside.
"Angor, just ignore it. Even if you don't have the token, don't bribe it. Just chop it up. Oh right, this thing is not afraid of fire, but cold. You can use Freeze to freeze its roots — "
"Davy! How dare you do this to me! I'm going to tell Master about this! She'll never teach you anything again, and you'll be kicked out of the Rose Garden! "
David turned to look at Rose, whose saliva was flying everywhere. He narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, "Jack Sue, can you shut up? One more word — "
Davy narrowed his eyes and released some cold white smoke from his hand.
After coming into contact with the extremely cold smoke, the rose named Jack Sue was clearly startled and fled back into the rose garden. Still, it kept cursing and telling Davy that it was going to teach him a lesson.
After Jack Sue left, Davy smiled again and greeted Angor.
"It's been less than two years, and your aura has changed a lot." Angor clicked his tongue. "Was that Frost Smoke Trick?"
Cold Smoke Trick was a level-0 cantrip. It was a cantrip reconstructed by the hologram after Frost Condensation. Apart from releasing cold air, it had no other uses.
It was one of the cantrips recorded in Elementary Cantrips: Modified, which Angor gave to Davy and Balba.
Davy nodded in embarrassment. "Yes, Cold Smoke Trick. If not for this trick, I would have been annoyed by Jack Su every day. "
It seemed Davy had a lot to complain about when it came to Jack Sue.
From Davy, Angor learned that Jack Sue was a Monster Servant trained by Leona. It loved magic crystals, and it was not only a chatterbox, but also a mean one. Since Davy had to train in the Rose Garden every day, Jack Sue would always annoy him.
If Angor did not learn Cold Smoke Trick, he would not know how to deal with Jack Sue at all.
When Davy finished complaining, he suddenly realized that they were still standing at the entrance of the Rose Garden.
"Shit, we haven't talked for a long time. I almost forgot." Davy slapped his head and looked at Angor. "Are you here for the professor? I'll go get him for you. "
"No, I'm here for you."
A moment later, Angor and Davy sat at a table in the middle of the Rose Garden.
"I heard you were back, and I was going to find you. But the professor stopped me and asked me to strengthen Solidification, so I couldn't leave," Davy said with an apologetic look.
Angor did not mind. Besides, he was happy that Davy was now Leona's student.
"Oh, right. Take this." Davy suddenly remembered something and took out a single-use space capsule and a music box from his pocket.
"This is the money from selling the music box at the Primordial Auction." Davy pointed at the capsule and the music box. "I haven't sold this one yet. I don't think I'll be able to get a good price if I sell too many in a short time. I was going to sell it later, but since you're back, I'll give it to you. "
Angor pushed the music box back to Davy. "I'm here because I'm going to leave soon, so … I'll let you sell it for me. I'll still get the same commission."
"You just came back. Why are you leaving again?" Davy asked in surprise. "Where are you going this time?"
Angor only smiled at Davy's question without answering. If he told Davy that he was going to the Abyss Plane, Davy would probably get worried.
He picked up the one-use space capsule and checked the number of magic crystals inside. "A hundred and ninety thousand magic crystals? You didn't get your commission? "
Angor already heard that Davy's music box was sold for 200,000 crystals when he was in Lloyds. The commission for an auction was 5% if it was more than 100,000 crystals but less than 1,000,000 crystals. In other words, the auction would also take 10,000 crystals as commission. Since there were 190,000 crystals here, Davy did not take the promised 10% commission.
Davy scratched his head. "I already got a great deal from the auction last time. That's why I got Leona as my teacher. So, I won't take the commission. "
Davy told Angor about what happened at the auction, as well as how Leona helped him get out of the Ancient River.
Angor felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he almost couldn't come back because he asked Dave to auction a music box for him.
"I'm fine, and I got Leona as my teacher. That's a great deal!" Davy was still in a good mood. The process was dangerous, but the result was good.
Angor opened the capsule, and magic crystals fell all over the ground.
He quickly took out 20,000 crystals and handed them to Davy. "Since we agreed, I won't go back on my word."
"But —"
Before Davy could say anything, Angor continued, "As for what you got later, it's what you deserved. It has nothing to do with our agreement."
Davy hesitated for a moment before he nodded and put the magic crystals away.
Suddenly, Davy sensed something on the ground. He looked down and saw Jack Sue opening its big mouth with saliva dripping from its mouth. It was trying to rub the magic crystals on the ground.
"One more step and I'll turn you into a frozen Jack Sue!" Davy snarled. He then turned to Angor and said, "Hurry up and put the magic crystals away."
Jack was furious. "The Rose Garden is my territory. Everything that falls here is mine! Don't move! "
The ground began to shake violently. Countless thorns rose from the ground and began to loot the magic crystals on the ground.
"How dare you!" Davy quickly released a Frost Smoke Cantrip to drive Jack Sue away.
However, Frost Smoke Cantrip was just a cold air. Jack Sue didn't like it, but it could still hold on for a while. Now that there were so many magic crystals on the ground, Jack Sue didn't mind being frozen for a while.
Seeing most of the magic crystals being sucked into the ground by the thorns, Davy was so angry that he went to tear Jack Sue apart himself.
But Jack Sue wasn't afraid. He only wanted to get the crystals.
Soon, more than half of the magic crystals were gone.
While Jack Sue was feeling proud, Davy felt his heart ache.
However, Jack Su's pride didn't last long. Angor suddenly reached out a hand and touched the thorns that were trying to reach for the crystals. Then, an invisible nightmare energy was sent into the thorns.
In an instant, Jack Su's body began to sway.
