After leaving the Rose Garden, Angor flew back to Tree Spirit Garden.
Since he was already here, he decided to go to the resource hall and claim his reward. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
Next, he went back to The Tributary to see Iron Granny.
Iron Granny was one of the few people in Brute Cavern whom he respected from the bottom of his heart.
Iron Granny was still in her usual elegant attire. Her silver hair was neatly combed.
She didn't seem surprised to see Angor sitting in front of her. Instead, she invited him to take a seat with a smile.
Angor and Iron Granny sat opposite each other and enjoyed the tea.
"I heard from Rein that you've decided to go to the Abyss." Iron Granny finally broke the silence after the fragrance of the tea spread out.
"I have my reasons."
Iron Granny: "I'm not trying to persuade you. You have to be responsible for every decision you make. But I have to remind you that the Abyss Plane is much crueler than the wizarding world. Besides, there are already patrolling demons on the surface of the Abyss Plane. Don't let your guard down even when you're in the outer three layers. "
Angor nodded.
"I hope your decision will bring you a better future."
Iron Granny didn't say anything else. Instead, she chatted with Angor about something related to Sumesh.
"Sumesh said a lot about the Morning Dew you left for me. I'm sure he'll ask you for it the next time you see him."
"Good. I have some with me." Angor took out a box of tea from his bracelet and handed it to Iron Granny. "I brought back quite a lot from the manor."
Iron Granny didn't refuse. She smiled and took the cup. "You're the one who knows the ways of the world better than anyone else in Phantom. Sumesh has been gone for decades, and he didn't even bother to bring me anything. "
Angor didn't know what to say.
Iron Granny didn't drink the tea. Instead, she stretched out her finger and gently wiped away the water stains on the edge of the teacup. Her fingertips glistened with a faint light.
Next, she gently dripped a drop of water onto the back of Angor's hand.
Take this drop of water as my thank you gift. "
A drop of water as a thank you gift?
He looked at the back of his hand and saw the water droplet rolling down Iron Granny's finger like a transparent pearl.
He curiously probed with his spiritual tentacles and found that this tiny water droplet actually contained a huge amount of energy. It was filled with vitality, light, and warmth.
He didn't know what it was, but he could sense its function.
The energy contained in the water droplets was used to heal injuries. The total amount was almost equivalent to casting a level-1 spell — Life Recovery.
As long as he did not suffer any fatal injuries, the water droplet would heal him instantly. However, this water droplet could only be used once.
Angor looked at Iron Granny in confusion.
He vaguely knew that Iron Granny was very powerful. Apart from the three ancestor souls, she had called everyone else "kid". At the very least, Iron Granny must be very old.
And with a long lifespan, their strength would not be too weak.
However, he was still surprised that Iron Granny was able to give such a powerful life force to a drop of water.
It seemed that he still underestimated Iron Granny's power.
Angor was still in a daze after leaving The Tributary. He came here with the intention of paying a visit, but he didn't expect that both Iron Granny and Leona would give him something so precious.
"My professor said that once you become a core member of an organization, a lot of resources will be given to you. So this is how it works? "
Angor's guess was correct. However, he didn't know that Rein had something to do with it as well. As the only alchemist in Brute Cavern who had the potential to become a master alchemist, Rein wouldn't just let Angor do whatever he wanted. Iron Granny's water droplet and Leona's Kunsha Flower perfume all had something to do with it.
Angor arrived at the Sky Vine Bus Station while still wondering.
He was planning to fly back to Phantom Island, but when he came out of The Tributary, he saw a Vine Bus sliding toward him.
Ever since he came back from the purification garden, he didn't take another Vine Bus Station. Since he was almost done with what he needed to do today, he decided to visit it.
However, he regretted it as soon as he boarded the bus.
At first, the bus was empty. But after several stops, several apprentices boarded it.
The two apprentices beside him were discussing the progress of their training, as well as the new cantrips they had come up with. Angor didn't mind it, even if the theories and formulas they used were full of loopholes.
However, the people in front of him, after getting on the bus, began to shoot arrows at each other in the open and in the dark, displaying the full extent of the war of words. The noise made Angor feel like he was in a fish market.
Some supernaturals always thought they were better than others and looked down on humans. However, looking at the scene before him, no matter where he was, the deep-rooted bad habits of humans would still exist. They would not disappear just because one had obtained extraordinary powers.
About ten minutes later, Angor finally arrived at the Falling Cloud Bus Station. He couldn't wait to get off the bus.
To the north of the Falling Cloud Bus Station was the sky bridge, which led to Phantom Island. However, Angor didn't go back in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the top of the mountain in the south.
There was a giant cloud cloud there, on which countless supernaturals were walking back and forth.
He couldn't see the buildings on the cloud because it was too far away. However, he could vaguely see golden light coming from the cloud.
"That's … the Cloud Library."
Five minutes later, Angor arrived at the huge, magnificent library gate that was emitting golden light.
The reason he came here was because he thought of something.
Nausica sent him a letter, but he hadn't heard from Sailum for almost a year and a half. Nausica mentioned that someone might know something about Sailum, and that person was the Elder of Books.
Sailum had a thick book that he always carried with him. Because of his obsession with the book, he met the Elder of Books. The Elder of Books told Sailum that in order to turn the book into a spirit, he had to become a Sage. This was why Sailum was so obsessed with the Azure Bloodline. He even wanted to merge with the Azure Bloodline at all costs.
Therefore, the Elder of Books was probably the only one who knew something about Sailum.
However, the Elder of Books rarely showed himself in the Cloud Library. Even if he did show up, he wouldn't pay attention to Angor.
Angor came to the library to try his luck.
The library was huge, and it was built with space-extending runes. There were 8,329 sections in total. It would take a lot of luck to run into the Elder of Books in all of them. Besides, the Elder of Books might not show up.
The last time he saw the Elder of Books was in Section 7925, where the Elder of Books was studying energy conversion.
Angor planned to go there again.
Angor didn't really care about the Elder of Books, so he didn't bother looking for the Elder of Books. Instead, he checked the books along the way.
Angor felt an urge to move all of them to the dream wasteland. Unfortunately, it was difficult to do so in reality.
If he used the Dream Whelk here, even if the Geometric Lock was suppressing it, people would definitely notice.
And he couldn't explain it. He couldn't tell them that he brought the Dream Whelk here for an experiment. If he really said that, he would definitely be suspected.
More importantly, there was a magic array inside the library, which would teleport Angor to the wizards on duty if he used any strange energy.
Angor walked from Section 7925 to Section 7950, which was a secluded area. However, he still didn't see the Elder of Books.
Angor didn't think he would run into the Elder of Books again.
In the end, he turned around and left.
…
Foundation City, No. 1 Rotten Wood Street.
No. 1 Rotten Wood Street was actually the Mushroom Hut, where Freud, Sunny, and Alda lived.
Angor was now inside the Mushroom Hut. In front of him was a burning stove, which was filled with the aroma of fruits.
After a while, the stew on the stove was ready.
Sunny and Alda reached for it excitedly, but Freud scolded them. "Sir is here. Behave yourself!"
Freud gave Angor an embarrassed smile. "These two can only taste food in the dream wasteland, so they're a bit impatient. Please don't blame them, sir."
Angor nodded. He didn't really care about the food. Instead, he was curious about the fact that the dream wasteland's body was able to give the dead souls a sense of taste.
Freud had already done his research on the differences between the dream wasteland and the real world, so Angor didn't need to worry about it.
"When are you going to the Abyss Plane, sir?" Freud asked.
"Two days later. Moonfrost Union's escort team will arrive at Brute Cavern. I'll leave then."
"Two days?" Freud mumbled. "I wonder if he'll make it in time."
"What do you mean?" Angor looked at Freud in confusion.
"I contacted Rossum of the Ashen Traders yesterday, and he said he'll contact Beals as soon as possible. It seems that Beals will go to Brute Cavern as soon as possible, sir. I wonder if he'll make it there before you leave. "
Angor frowned. He still didn't know why Beals wanted to see him.
Back then, Rossum had said that Beals had some information to trade with him and would tell him about Cassini.
He could have just told Freud about it, but Beals insisted on talking to Angor in person. Was there something else going on?
