After sending David away, Angel mused alone.
“If you use it every game, you would be devoid of any sense of shame.” David’s words lingered in Angel’s ears.
Be devoid of any sense of shame? If he had so many magic crystals, he would instantly become a shameless person. However, there were not so many magic crystals on him. He can’t be shameless even if he tried.
Angel, however, noticed a key point in David’s remark: Sky Tower would not prevent anything.
If the tower would not prevent anything, there is a lot more room for manoeuvrability. Poisoning a competitor before a competition, or bribing competitors during the competition can be one of his means. But if he does this, the situation was still too dicey. It’s better to throw magic pattern scrolls safely from the sidelines. But the price of magic scrolls is too expensive. Angel wondered if there was any other way to replace the effects of magic scrolls.
This is worth pondering about.
After lunch, David sent over three echo flowers. Angel was not greedy to ask for more either. They were all sent to the attic to be taken care of by Toby.
Angel went downstairs as soon as Toby’s quartet concert began.
Angel just shook his head. It was a bit noisy, but fortunately, it wasn’t all bad. But in this environment, it’s not easy to achieve silence. Angel simply hid in the underground quiet room, sorting out his memories, while wondering if there was any way to dominate Sky Tower.
In the evening, Angel unexpectedly welcomed another guest.
“Shalem? Were you free today?” Angel smiled and welcomed Shalem into the living room.
Shalem’s mood was a little low. He seemed to want to say something to Angel, but he swallowed back the words every time he wanted to speak.
Angel feels constrained just by looking at him.
“If you have anything to say, just say it. You look uncomfortable holding it in.” Angel put up with it for a while but decided to speak out and ask his initiative.
Shalem’s mouth was shrivelled. “Angel, how long will it take you to advance to apprentice?”
Angel had some surprise at the question Shalem asked. Although he is a good friend with Shalem and Nausica. He seldom takes the initiative to ask about their private affairs because of his etiquette and consideration of the other person’s feelings.
Angel has not withheld any secrets from this issue. But he was curious about why Shalem would suddenly ask this question.
“If there is a breakthrough, it will happen soon. How come you suddenly want to ask this question?”
Shalem seemed a little relieved to hear Angel confirm that he would soon break through to apprentice. Then hesitantly pulled out a crystal ball from his pocket and put it in front of Angel: “See for yourself. Those people are really abominable.”
Shalem injects some magic into the crystal ball, which shines under the manipulation of magic.
“Very impressive.” For children, Angel always casually praises.
“There is no skill, just a simple output of magic. When you can open up a magic source, you can do it easily.” Although Shalem said so when he heard Angel’s praise. He couldn’t help stirring up his lips.
In the crystal ball appeared a piece of paper. In the upper left corner of the piece of paper, there was a round red seal, engraved with a tiger head totem.
The contents of the letter were not long, and Angel soon finished reading it.
According to the apprentice rules of the Savage Grottoes. Among the talents recruited in each new session, those who are the last and the least capable will be recognized as “The Shame of Apprentices.” The letter by the owner nominates the shame of apprentices of this term as Angel. Pat.
After Angel finished reading it, there was a burst of laughter.
“Did Hookedick come up with this?” Angel asked Shalem.
“How do you know?” Shalem was surprised.
“The dog planer font looks like it is from a beginner at first sight. And there are several wrong characters in the whole passage. Who else besides him is semi-illiterate at this time?” Angel casually pointed out several of these mistakes.
“The letter was written by Hookedick himself. The tiger head totem on the seal was said to be the animal God belief of the tribe he had been the leader of.” When Shalem finished, he said angrily, “I saw Orland holding this letter. I heard him say that Hookedick sent it to many people, including the ones in last place. He dared not deal with you head-on, so he wanted to ruin your reputation in this way. It’s really abhorrent.”
“Is that why you came to me with a bitter face?”
“Where do I have a bitter face. I’m just defending you!” Shalem was angry and said, “Don’t you care at all?”
Angel smiled and said, “It’s just infamy, and it can’t really hurt me.” Moreover, before that, he had thought about turning his fame into being “shameless.”
“Besides, rumours are rumours after all. Didn’t I say I would be promoted in the near future and wouldn’t the rumours fall apart after I break through?” Angel said.
“But, nevertheless… Even Baruba has been promoted to First Level Wizard Apprentice. Even if you are promoted, and you are still the last one to promote, ah.” After Shalem had finished, he noticed the impoliteness in his speech. Angel was not angry, and he was relieved.
“After the First Level Wizard Apprentice, there is a watershed. The vast majority of people have stayed at the level of Wizard Apprentice for decades. But some people only need a very short period to be able to advance again.” Angel patted Shalem on the shoulder: “I believe that me, you and Nausica are the handful of people who can advance quickly. Looking back at this letter at that time will only make you laugh.”
After listening to Angel’s… demeanour, Shalem seems to have relaxed his heart and put away the crystal ball.
“By the way, Miss Nausica has been crazy about taking over tasks and earning contribution points recently. At first, she was only taking on safe tasks, like patrolling, cleaning and helping Wizard Lords with some work. But in recent days, I have seen her checking her bags and sharpening her weapons. She seems to have the intention of going out on a mission… Clearly, we have just entered the Wizard Plane and haven’t stayed around for a year. Why does she fight so hard?”
“Maybe, like Orlando, something drives her to persist.” Angel said.
After another moment of casual communication, Shalem said goodbye to Angel. As he was about to leave. Angel thought about what he said to Shalem. “The next time you see Nausica. Give her a message and say I’ll call her and ask her to come over.”
“No problem.” Shalem did not ask the reason but promised.
“Well, you’ll come with her then. I have something to tell you too.”
When Shalem left, Angel’s expression sank immediately.
Despite his act of indifference to the letter in front of Shalem, he actually cared a lot! What he cared about is not the infamy, but the fact that someone keeps running behind his back!
“Hookedick.” For the first time, Angel wanted to kill a man.
…
Time is like a foal passing through a gap. In a twinkling of an eye, another five days have passed.
The countdown on the Holographic Tablet becomes: 0 hours, 1 minute, 31 seconds.
Angel specifically locked the basement door and the quiet room door along the way, and went back to the tablet and waited for the countdown to end.
When the timer went from 0 hours, 0 minutes and 1 second. To 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds. Angel was so nervous that he began clenching his toes.
[At the end of the calculation, the optimum coordinate data has been deduced, which read as follows:…]
When he saw the 12 coordinate points, Angel’s heart welled up with an indescribable joy. Even an official Wizard would spend more than ten years on calculating the coordinate data. It took him less than four months! Although the vast majority are calculated by the Holographic Tablet, what about this? As long as the ending is good, the process is not that important.
Angel’s mood fluctuated greatly at this time. Instead of practising immediately, he sat on the ground, waiting for his heart to thoroughly calm down before cutting off the remaining four planes.
But the huge surprise makes it difficult for Angel to calm down for a while. Angel suppressed the joy of bouncing back and forth even more.
Angel stops to think, opens the entertainment folder in the Holographic Tablet, and finds the “Music” subfolder. He wanted to distract himself by listening to music.
He has never opened this subfolder before, and his memory of Earth’s civilization music is only in the form of children’s songs once sung by Jon. But Jon’s five ranges are not perfect, and Angel hardly hears the beauty of music from Jon’s mouth.
Angel is still looking forward to the music of Earth. But he never had a chance to play it before. Because when he got the tablet, he was either on the Bohemia or the Cloud Whale. Where he dares not open the tablet or play music even if he dared to turn it on.
This is the first time he has listened to the music of Earth.
Under the music subfolder, there are more categories. Including the music of various countries on Earth and different types of music genre.
Angel is listening to music just to distract himself, so he doesn’t care what genre of music he listens to. He just clicks on a directory at random. Suddenly, the name of a song caught Angel’s eye.
Castle in the Sky.
The name reminds him of Sky Machinery City.
Angel is too lazy to pick another piece and opens the song and clicks on it to play.
The prelude seemed to be played by strings and was very melodious. At the same time, it didn’t seem to be plucked by strings because he did not hear any harsh sounds. Angel has heard the harp performance from a bard before. Although it was very pleasant, perhaps the person invited was not famous, since there were always harsh sharp sounds accompanied while they plucked the strings.
Angel was satisfied with the prelude.
When the interlude appeared, Angel’s eyes flashed a trace of amazement as the beautiful piano sounds accompanied the soothing strings. This piece of music, from the beginning to the interlude, firmly grasp the hearts of the people. As if there is some invisible magic. There is no mainstream passionate interpretation. On the contrary, it is like a gentle spring, slowly flowing into the heart of the listener.
With these comfortable tunes, people cannot help but close their eyes to enjoy. With the progression of the music, it seems that he can see the city hidden by clouds in the vast expanse of blue sky and white clouds.
At the end of the song, Angel slowly opened his eyes.
The song was beautiful, at least in terms of Angel’s tastes. It has reached the ranks of the famous works in his mind. The only regret is it is impossible to really watch the live performance face to face.
When Angel woke up from his deep contemplation. He was surprised that his impetuous mood gradually calmed down after the piece.
“This is an unexpected joy.” Not only did he enjoy a rare masterpiece, but also achieved his goal.
Since his goal has been achieved, Angel does not further dwell on it. He directly closes his eyes and enters a state of meditation.
This time, he’s cutting off all 36 areas at the same time!
