Angel was in a good mood because he bought so many useful and cheap alchemy materials. So during lunch, he didn't mind answering a few of Ananda's questions. One of the core issues she has is the premise of becoming a wizard. Angel told her directly: “If you want to become a wizard, you must first have talent."
As for the so-called talent, Angel himself didn't state it clearly. He only said that if her mental force value is more than 10, she will have a chance of being considered as a talent. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it.
"Then do I have talent?" Ananda rushed to ask.
Angel shook his head. Seeing this, Ananda's face was filled with despair.
"I don't know, my realm is too low. I can't directly peek at people's mental force values. I also don't have any items on me which can test mental force value. So I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it." Angel said.
It turned out that when Angel shook his head, it meant this. There was a glimmer of hope in Ananda's heart.
There were no words between the two for a while. When Angel was about to finish his meal, Ananda asked another question. This question was suddenly blurted out during a flash of inspiration, but this question made her glad afterwards: “Can't you become a talent even if you had no talent?"
Other wizard apprentices will probably nod and deal with this question hastily. But in Angel's quiet room, he has always planned to give his cherished elder brother his Cold Night Potion. He knows the mysterious wall in the Nightmare Plane can also increase mental force value. Therefore, Angel has some misunderstandings and still thinks there are many ways to increase mental force value. So he hadn't given a perfunctory response to this question: “That isn't necessarily true. If you are lucky. You can find a way to increase mental force value, and if your mental force value exceeds 10. You can be considered a talent. For example, Cold Night Potion can directly increase your upper limit by two points of mental force value.”
Ananda kept Angel's words firmly in her heart. Even for fear of forgetting, Ananda dipped her finger in the oil candle on the dining table and wrote “Cold Night Potion" on her clothes.
When Angel saw this, he didn't stop her.
In the afternoon, Angel continued taking Ananda on his shopping spree.
Angel has already purchased all the materials required for the production of the fantasy world music box and Energy Stabilizer. Only the auxiliary materials for making a s.p.a.ce item are missing. He is missing three kinds of materials, namely, Stone Core of White Dredging Stone, Plane Dark Erosion Fragment and Plane Chaos Fragment.
According to the introduction of < material="" blend=""> and < a="" guide="" to="" alchemy="" materials=""> seen by Angel. These three materials aren't too scarce.
White Dredging Stone is a ubiquitous material that can be found everywhere in the plane. Just like wild weeds and flowers, they are densely scattered all over the Wizard Plane. These densely distributed materials can be found everywhere.
In fact, the Plane Dark Erosion Fragment and Plane Chaos Fragment are actually materials with dark and chaotic attributes in the potential plane channels or plane channels. These two kinds of materials not only exist in large quant.i.ties in potential plane channels. But can also be cultivated in plane channels by wizards actively taking out materials with both attributes and placing them in plane channels. Although the price is a little expensive, it is also considered a common material.
But what happened was when Angel searched everywhere, he found none of these three materials could be seen at all.
Angel search until sunset was seen on the western hills as he pondered: "Perhaps I should go back to Promi and ask him if I can find these materials in the hidden alchemy stores."
Since these materials aren't available for the time being, he will stop since the Twilight Auction is about to start. With this in mind, Angel decided to take a break today and wait until after the auction to discuss this issue with Promi.
After shopping all day today, Angel bought many materials with only one s.p.a.ce capsule out of the ten he brought with him left. Angel was worried this capsule would not be enough. In the end, Angel decided to keep these materials in the cart for the time being. As for the materials left in the cart, it should be placed in the villa rented by Promi and sorted out when they decide to leave Twilight Deep Well.
So Angel asked Ananda to push the cart as he leads the way.
Ananda did live up to her t.i.tle of “strongest woman." At the end of the day, although she was mentally and physically tired, she was still energetic as she effortless pushed a cart weighing 100 kg to the residence.
When Angel arrived at the small courtyard, Promi immediately showed up. He walked out to one side and then glanced at Ananda to confirm she was a mortal. After, he stopped paying attention to her and said: "Angel, it seems you've gained a lot today. Can't you fit these in your disposable s.p.a.ce capsule?"
"I've used up nine already and only have one left. I was worried I wouldn't have enough s.p.a.ce, so I had to ask her to help me push this cart back." Angel said.
Thinking of asking Promi for the whereabouts of the three materials, Angel ordered Ananda: “Please put this potted flower in my room for me. The green doork.n.o.b on the second floor is my room. The rest of the stuff will be piled up in the underground storage.”
Angel heard this flower is a special magic plant which calms a wizard's mental force every few hours. So Angel needs to leave the plant in his room.
While Ananda was carrying the good up. Angel went to Promi and asked him about for the whereabouts of the three materials used to make his s.p.a.ce item.
"These three materials, ah. Do you want to refine your own disposable s.p.a.ce capsules?" Promi looked at Angel with surprise. These three materials are auxiliary materials for disposable s.p.a.ce capsules. However, if Crystal Wall Microbes isn't available as the main material, Angel will need help from a s.p.a.ce system wizard when he begins refining…
Angel smiled but didn't answer. s.p.a.ce items are very precious, and the refining process is also very difficult. Angel didn't intend on saying anything before he finishes refining one.
Promi thought this was suspicious, so he didn't conceal his thoughts and said: "These three materials are indeed very common, but it is not easy for you to buy them. Because these materials are aimed at formal wizards as the customer base. Alchemy stores which sell these materials used by formal Wizards are hidden and very secretive, and the prices tend to be more expensive than you would think.”
Angel can accept a higher price as long as it's not overly expensive.
Angel nodded and said: “Thank you so much for telling me."
Then, the two chatted casually again. At the height of their conversation, there was suddenly a shriek from the second floor: "You, let Ananda go! If you want to come after me, this is my business, but why do you have to drag Ananda into this?"
"Wimbledon? What are you doing here?!" Ananda's voice was filled with dismay.
Promi and Angel exchanged glances. Promi smiled and gently said: "Originally, I wanted to cast a spell to make this boy speak. I didn't expect that the worker you casually brought along actually knew this boy. This is truly fate at work.”
Angel didn't expect Ananda would actually know the shadow servant youth either. However, recalling Ananda's ident.i.ty of “gangster leader" and this shadow servant being a thief. These two professions should complement each other, so it makes sense for these two to know each other.
"Let's go and see what the hustle and bustle are about." David said.
After David's account, it turned out the shadow servant youth found some way to break away from the fantasy world. But as he secretly prepared to slip away under David's watch, which hadn't even been noticed since he disappeared in the next room. He would've slipped away if not for noticing Ananda going upstairs and placing Angel's flower in the room. Then the shadow servant youth recognized Ananda and exclaimed aloud, thereby alarming David.
Angel listened to the whole process and shook his head. Sure enough, with the growth of his body stopped. It has affected his mind, ah: It was very difficult to escape in the first place, shouldn't you just stay hidden? Even if you meet your friend, at the very least you can still speak to them in a low voice. Such a scream not only reveals your position but also exposed your relations.h.i.+p with Ananda.
What a worrying IQ… Is this shadow servant youth really suitable to work as a wizard's servant? Angel recalls Housekeeper Goode's personable and graceful demeanour in every movement, which was typical of wizard servants.
When Angel went upstairs, he saw the shadow servant youth with a small pained expression. He was complaining pitifully to Ananda about the pain of being imprisoned, chattering for a long time.
Angel smiled and quietly arranged a fantasy world in the second-floor corridor, changing the positions of the staircase exit to the window. Then, he casually listens to the conversation between the two people in the meantime.
Their dialogue didn't contain much useful information, but the ident.i.ty of the shadow servant youth has been established.
His name is Wimbledon, and his ident.i.ty is not a thief as he originally suspected. But the son of a powerful Duke in the Shadow Demon Kingdom named Tabish.
Wimbledon didn't say why, as a son of a duke was reduced to petty theft. But was crying to Ananda about some unimportant things. Such as how nervous he was in the secret room, how terrible it was to face an upside-down fantasy world or how his feet kept trembling to the point of being unable to stand… Then he hugs Ananda pitifully and rubs his little face on Ananda's chest.
"Such a little goat." Angel shakes his head as he said.
As long as he knows his ident.i.ty, other things can be slowly checked out, and his pleasant conversation simply ends here. Promi stepped forward to pull him apart from Ananda and then said to Wimbledon who had an angry expression: “Dare to run away, it seems that you haven't been taught enough?"
As he spoke, Promi reached out to catch Wimbledon. Wimbledon let out a scream, used Immaterial Body and suddenly disappeared in front of Promi. Immediately after Wimbledon had become invisible, he tried to slip away by running downstairs.
But it was too late. The staircase he saw was just a fantasy world. The result of his mad dash was a red nose from hitting a support beam, mosquito sized pupils and foaming at the mouth until he faints to the ground.
Seeing this, Angel gave a chuckle as Ananda rushed to Wimbledon with a worried expression on her face as she helped him up.
"Lord, Wimbledon is just a child. Would you please let him go?" Ananda looked at Angel as she pleaded with her eyes. Among the three, Ananda is only familiar with Angel, so the only person she can ask is him.
“Child? Don't you know he is an adult?" When David mentioned this, there was an outbreak of **.
“I know this, he and I were born in the same year. As children, we had a good relations.h.i.+p growing up together. But since he awakened his ability at the age of seven, he has been kept locked up at home by Duke Tabish for many years. He seldom interacts with people, making him a child at heart. So please, Lord. Don't embarra.s.s him. He is truly pitiful.” Ananda said.
"Embarra.s.s him? If he hadn't tried to steal from us, why would we have bothered embarra.s.sing him?!" David exclaimed and said: “Daring to violate the dignity of a wizard, we are already being merciful for not killing him!"
Angel wants to complain to David and ask: Dignity of a wizard? When did you become a wizard…? But in retrospect, this is the best time for David to establish his majesty. So it's better for him to not speak.
Ananda's face flashed with a trace of embarra.s.sment when she heard the reason why Wimbledon was caught by the Wizard Lord. He was caught stealing money.
"In fact, I taught… Wimbledon how to steal. If you want to capture someone… capture me as the instigator and let Wimbledon go." It can be seen when Ananda said these words. In fact, the Scales of Libra in her heart was constantly swaying.
"Never mind capturing you, let's talk about Wimbledon. If you tell us his details, we will consider letting him go." Angel thought Wimbledon was just a thief and it would be a good thing for him to follow Promi as a servant. But if he had a family and a home already, Angel would change his mind a little.
But before that, Angel still had to ask for Promi's consent. So he looked to Promi before saying all of this.
The latter, on the other hand, had a faint smile and motioned to Angel for allowing him handle it himself. Although Promi thinks Wimbledon is valuable, Wimbledon is not worth mentioning when compared to flattering Angel.
