Kanter didn't really care about Dokibell's arrival.
However, when he saw the group of people on Dokibell's back, he was quite surprised.
Why was Sunders on Dokibell's back as well? Did he run out of the house just to pick up Dokibell?
Kanter saw Sunders talking to an apprentice in a low voice.
An apprentice?
Kanter had never seen Sunders being so nice to any apprentice, except for the one he always liked to show off … Kanter suddenly realized something. Could it really be Angor?
Kanter couldn't help but use his Bloodline Talent. His eyes suddenly became brighter, like the eyes of an eagle.
Sunders noticed Kanter's blatant stare.
Sunders looked at the old man who was squatting in a small corner near the entrance of the fortress. He looked down and saw something familiar.
"Isn't that Mister Kanter?" Angor followed Sunders' gaze. "Huh? That thing in his hand looks familiar. It looks like …"
"Monument Loop," Sunders said in a cold tone.
Is it really Monument Loop? Back then, Sunders claimed that he wanted to help Angor analyze the illusion and asked him to craft the Monument Loop. But Angor knew what was really going on.
Angor wasn't surprised to see Kanter holding Monument Loop in his hand. Did Sunders use it to show off again?
"What's the point of showing off?" "I didn't lock the door when I noticed the blood reaction in the Abyss Plane. Kanter must've gone in to steal it himself." Angor sneered. "That's right. I didn't lock the door."
"Is that so?" Angor looked at Sunders doubtfully.
Sunders humphed in disdain. However, Angor could see the uneasiness in his eyes.
"I'm going to do something about Monument Valley as well," Angor muttered to himself with a regretful look.
"Ahem, is that so? That's great. After you refine it, I'll help you check if your illusion has improved during this period. " Sunders paused and cleared his throat. "But don't make too many of these distracting toys."
Angor curled his lips in his mind, but on the surface, he nodded. "I see."
On the other side, Kanter realized something when he saw the "apprentice". It really was Angor!
Why would Mister Rein let an alchemist like Sunders come to the Abyss Plane? Besides, the situation in the Abyss Plane was getting tense. Angor wasn't even qualified to serve as cannon fodder.
Kanter was a little doubtful and worried, but in the next second, he seemed to have thought of something.
"I remember Sunders mentioned that Stele Loop is Angor's creation …" Kanter's eyes lit up. "You've been hiding it from me. Now that Angor is here, I can ask him to make me a Stele Loop."
Thinking of this, Kanter couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself, 'I wonder if I can make a private order?' It would be even better if Ada, the owner of Monument Valley, was replaced by my Keely!
While Kanter was fantasizing in his heart, a few people suddenly appeared beside him.
He turned around and saw Bobota and his friends. Kanter liked Bobota a lot. Firstly, the man was from Brute Cavern, and secondly, Bobota was quite clever when it came to solving puzzles.
"Why are you here?" Kanter realized that they were here for Dokibell as well. "Are you here to fight for the position of instructor?"
Bobota didn't say anything. The fat apprentice beside him nodded repeatedly. "Yes, sir. Can we do it for you? We'll make sure to get these newbies on the right track as soon as possible. "
"As soon as possible?" Kanter looked at the apprentice with interest. "I'm sure you'll make it to the end of the day."
The short and fat apprentice chuckled. "How could that be? If we delay until the deadline, it must be because the new apprentices are too stupid. We have to rack our brains to teach them so that they can understand."
Kanter snorted. "I know very well what you're thinking. But I don't mind letting you take a break for a few days. "
The fat apprentice's eyes brightened up.
While Kanter was busy arranging the instructors, the bells on Dokibell's back were getting closer and closer. The person on Dokibell's back was now visible to everyone.
Bobota immediately saw the woman with frosty hair and fiery eyes. She was leaning against the roof of the church lazily, which made Bobota's heart race.
She was the Witch of Wasteland, Sennefer!
The Witch of Wasteland was finally here!
Her appearance meant that the "person" would soon arrive at the Overwatch Base.
Once that person showed up, the war would begin!
At that time, his chance would also come!
Bobota's eyes flickered with madness. He subconsciously grabbed the blood-red chain around his body.
"Bobota? What's wrong? " The fat apprentice looked at Bobota in confusion. "The list is here. Mister Kanter wants us to check it out."
It took Bobota a while to realize that Dokibell had already stopped at the entrance of the base, and the apprentices were coming down one by one.
They already had the list. Kanter had promised to let them become instructors, so they needed to check the information with the apprentices who had accepted the frontline mission.
"I understand. I'll go now." Bobota sighed. He didn't want to draw attention to himself, but if he had refused to become an instructor, he would have attracted even more attention.
Bobota had no choice but to follow.
"Only sixteen apprentices came this time," the short and fat apprentice complained to Bobota. "It would've been better if there were more."
"The location of the Overwatch Base determines the number of apprentices coming here," Bobota replied. Bobota gave a simple reply and stood beside Dokibell, ready to check all the apprentices who had just arrived.
Since there were only three of them, it didn't take long for them to check.
However, when the short and fat apprentice was about to take them to the fortress to familiarize themselves with the environment, the braided child suddenly pointed at Dokibell's back and said, "There's another apprentice over there. Doesn't he need to register?"
"Another apprentice?" Bobota looked over, and his pupils shrank when he saw who it was.
"It's him?" Bobota frowned. Angor had shown up here …
"You know him, Bobota?"
Bobota nodded. "He's Mister Phantom's student. Since he's not on the list, I don't think he accepted any frontline mission. Leave him be. Take these apprentices to the Overwatch Base first. "
With that, Bobota led the way to the Overwatch Base without saying anything else.
However, there was a gloomy look in his eyes as he tightened his grip on the chains around his body. "I hope there won't be any more unforeseen events. It's best if you behave …"
…
Angor didn't know that one of his former "clients" was here.
He was now standing behind Sunders and watching the argument between Sunders and Kanter. The main reason for the dispute was the Monument of Strange Rings.
"You snuck into my room and stole it, and now you're asking Angor to make it for you?" Sunders sneered.
"That's two different things. There's no logic at all!" Kanter said angrily.
"There's no room for negotiation. No means no."
"I'm not asking you to make it for me!" Kanter glared at Sunders. Then he changed his expression and spoke to Angor in a gentle tone, "Angor, Keely didn't say anything when she came back from the purification garden, but I can see that she likes you. If you accept my request, I'll put in a good word for you when I see her next time. "
"What does this have to do with Keely?"
Kanter's tone was frivolous, but Angor didn't want to reject Kanter's request. Angor looked back helplessly. He wanted to hear what Sunders had to say.
"I told you no. You're busy with a new project, and you don't have time to help Kanter."
"New project?" What new project? Why didn't he know about it?
Sunders raised an eyebrow. "You said it yourself. I said I'll help you review your illusion."
Now Angor understood why Sunders didn't want him to help Kanter because he wanted Angor to work on the next version of Monument Valley first.
"Mister Kanter, I came to the Abyss Plane because I have something important to ask my professor. Also, I need to focus on leveling up first. As for alchemy, I'll leave it to you after that. "
Kanter finally realized that Angor had already reached the final barrier.
When he left Lilith's House, Keely hadn't even reached the edge of the small barrier!
How did Angor train in such a short time? Why was there such a huge gap?!
Kanter sighed. He couldn't refute Angor's words. The first barrier was the most important part of a wizard's journey.
Angor had put all his focus on breaking the barrier, and Kanter didn't want to distract him.
Kanter nodded helplessly. "Then … can you lend me the Monument Loop for a while? I'm almost there. I can't rest until I get through. "
Sunders chuckled. "It's been almost a year, and you still haven't done it?"
"You didn't lend it to me that many times in the past year! You're always hiding it from me like it's some kind of treasure — "
Sunders cleared his throat and interrupted Kanter. "Just take it if you want. Don't block my way. I have other things to do."
"Oh right, I'll only lend it to you for half a month. Don't forget to return it to me after that."
