Day and night passed quickly, and the sky was filled with stars.
Beals stopped and looked back at Angor.
Angor's background was the night sky and stars, as well as the chilly wind blowing across the highland.
"We're quite a distance away from Frozen Wing. Let's stop here." Beals floated in the air, his black cloak fluttering in the wind.
"I heard that the Abyss Plane isn't in a good state right now. Be careful, Angor, if you're going there, don't go too deep."
Beals did not want to annoy Angor. Instead, he changed the topic and got down to business.
"I'm here for two things. First, I want to know about the Evernight Kingdom. Second, I want to know about the man you've been looking for, "Beals said with a serious look.
"You mean Cassini?"
Beals nodded. "That's him."
"Who's he?" Back at Frost Wing, Beals didn't mention Cassini on purpose. Angor already knew that there was something fishy about Cassini's identity, so he didn't mention it to Beals.
Beals said, "Before I answer that question, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure." Angor nodded without hesitation.
"Can you tell me where you heard this name?" Beals asked in a serious tone.
Beals' serious expression gave Angor a rough idea of what was going on. Perhaps this Cassini was not a fictional character in the Vision Dimension, but a real person.
If Cassini was real, then Angor could understand why Beals was being so serious. Cassini was able to interfere with Angor's alchemy phenomenon and possibly cause the Crimson Shield to work. This meant that Cassini was no weakling.
Angor once met a follower of Crown Clown in Brute Cavern. Items with Crown Clown's real name on them could have better effects.
However, even Crown Clown couldn't directly grant a legendary item. Since the Crimson Shield could resist the gaze of a legendary monster, it had to be at the legendary level.
In other words, Cassini might be on the same level as Crown Clown, or even stronger.
The Crown Clown, on the other hand, was a peerless demon god from the abyss!
If an ordinary Fiendcelestial were to descend upon the Southern Region, he would be able to cause a world-ending calamity. The Great Demonic God was more than enough to destroy the Southern Domain and prevent it from regaining its vitality for thousands of years. If it was a peerless Great Demonic God …
If Cassini was really on the same level as Crown Clown, how terrifying would that be?
"Can't you tell me?" Beals noticed Angor's silence and asked again.
"I heard Cassini's name from someone else." Angor considered for a moment before he gave a vague answer, "I heard about him from someone else."
By 'others', he was referring to Cassini himself.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, he was not lying.
Beals gave Angor a meaningful look. Of course, he knew that Angor was playing with words. When he was still an apprentice, he also used this method to answer a wizard's question when he did not want to.
But even though Beals saw through it, he didn't say anything.
Angor's answer meant that he was most likely the one who was marked by Cassini.
Beals did not ask for confirmation, but he already knew that Angor was marked by Cassini. Thinking about the "Seed of Truth" in front of him, Beals felt both excited and jealous.
He was one step ahead of Angor, but Angor was already recognized by Cassini. This meant that Angor had a bright future ahead of him. He might not be able to reach the path of truth, but as long as he made the right choice, he might even become a legend in the future.
The ambitious Monchi in the Abyss had once met Cassini. And as it turned out, Monkey was the strongest wizard in the entire southern region.
Angor's future was limitless. Beals, on the other hand, had already reached the end of his life. He had yet to reach the edge of truth, let alone the path of truth.
Of course, Beals was jealous!
While mortals might be blinded by jealousy, as an experienced wizard, Beals quickly extinguished the tiny flame of jealousy in his mind. He thought to himself, I have to get closer to Angor!
If Angor could really reach that level, he would gain a lot of benefits just by learning from someone powerful.
Beals cleared his mind and gave Angor a complicated look. "I don't care where you heard that name from. Try not to mention it to anyone else."
Beals paused and explained to Angor, "The name 'Cassini' means endless light.
But at the same time, it also means an eternal shadow.
Because … he is the Time Thief. "
…
Beals left on a flying whale, bathing in the starlight and disappearing into the night.
Angor, on the other hand, was still in a daze. He never thought that he would hear about the Time Thief under such circumstances.
He still remembered when he left Phantom Island last year and was about to return to his homeland. Greya mentioned "the Time Thief" before, but she was interrupted, so she never mentioned it again.
The next time Angor heard about the Time Thief was just now.
Beals was surprised that Angor didn't know about the Time Thief, so he quickly explained to Angor how great the Time Thief was.
When Beals told Angor about the Time Thief, he was almost certain that the Time Thief was the mysterious person who appeared in his vision when he was crafting the Bloody Night Shelter.
Angor still remembered the mysterious shadow sitting on the Wheel of Time. The shadow smiled at him. "Young man, since you've made your choice, I'll take away the rest."
Angor didn't know what the shadow meant back then. But now, he did.
The shadow took away the choice he gave up and gave it back to him by using the Bloody Night Shelter. It was similar to the Time Thief's definition. In fact, the shadow was the Time Thief himself!
"Does the Time Thief mean that I'm going to find the truth?" Angor mumbled to himself in doubt.
If someone could travel through time and see through the "Seed of Truth", then he or she was already the truth. But the Time Thief was still stealing the truth, which meant he or she was still deviating from the path of truth. What made the Time Thief think that someone had the potential to reach the truth?
Of course, Angor knew that he was still too weak.
According to Beals, the Time Thief had to be at least a level-3 Miracle wizard. Angor didn't believe that such a great figure could be compared to a summer bug.
However, being skeptical was part of a wizard's nature. It wouldn't be too late to redefine the Time Thief.
Either way, Angor now understood what "Cassini" meant.
"Seed of Truth" might sound nice, but if someone's power didn't match the mark, he or she would end up as an experiment subject for other wizards.
After all, there were all kinds of people in the wizarding world. Not everyone could be like Beals, who could suppress his jealousy and choose to wait.
"I need to be more careful from now on." Angor rubbed his swollen temples and flew toward the Frozen Wing.
While flying, Angor recalled a list Beals told him about.
It was a list of people who had been marked by the Time Thief. The first one was Mister Monkey of Moonfrost Union. Angor had heard of most of the names before. They were all big figures in the wizarding world.
Angor also saw Sunders' name on the list.
There were only a dozen names on Beals' list. But that didn't mean the Time Thief had marked everyone. According to Beals, there were about a hundred people in the southern wizarding region.
Angor was probably the weakest of them all.
If Angor's identity was exposed, he would become the target of many people.
"I shouldn't have asked Beals. I should've just asked Sunders." Angor regretted his carelessness.
Fortunately, Beals seemed to be friendly to him so far. Vifet, on the other hand, was a different story.
When Beals and Angor talked about "Cassini", they naturally mentioned Gauss and Vifet.
Beals told Angor about how Vifet arrived at Moxa Westland. "Vifet looks friendly and has a lot of connections, but no one knows what he's really like. As for Gauss, I don't know much about him either. But since you have an alchemy item that can resist Prophecy, you should be safe for now. "
According to Beals, Vifet was already suspicious of Angor, so Angor had to be careful.
…
Angor left Moxa Westland peacefully.
But what he didn't expect was that when he returned, there was an earth-shattering change. Before he even landed, he already sensed many people staring at him.
Also, Madelyne was surrounded by several wizards. Before he left, Madelyne was isolated. Why did she suddenly become a social butterfly?
Angor landed behind Madelyne with a puzzled look on his face.
As soon as he landed, he was immediately surrounded by the same people who tried to protect Madelyne.
"You're Angor?" "Sire Fantasy Demon has taken in a good student …" "Oh my god … Rest Torch Academy will always open its doors for you …"
Angor was a little surprised. From their words, he understood what was going on.
They were here for him, right?
Judging from their eager looks, that seemed to be the case.
When Angor returned to Brute Cavern, he already felt the popularity brought by his name. Back then, he didn't think too much about it. He thought he only had a little bit of fame in Brute Cavern.
But now, he truly felt the effects of fame.
