Although Hilary and Carvelyn only confronted each other once, their power was undeniably astonishing, drawing the attention of many. By the afternoon, the events that transpired at the Bliss Pavilion had already Disseminated Sky Mechanical City.
In essence, this was not a significant event. After all, Hilary and Carvelyn were merely testing their weapons and hadn’t caused any lasting troubles. Furthermore, their confrontation took place in a private residential area, and the law enforcement team did not penalize them. However, due to the sheer number of spectators at the time, the Frost Whip in Hilary’s hand was particularly eye-catching. With Glen also present at the Bliss Pavilion, many immediately associated the scene with the top three custom alchemy from the Novastar Competition.
As a result, the rumor that the Frost Whip in Hilary’s hand was custom-made by the Research Institute began to spread like wildfire.
Moreover, since there were very few members of the Research Institute remaining in Sky Mechanical City, and only a handful capable of taking on such custom tasks, many speculated that the alchemist behind the Frost Whip was none other than Angel, especially considering that Cicero, who was known for his alchemy blending, couldn’t have crafted it so quickly.
Angel’s popularity, combined with the Research Institute’s reputation for top-notch alchemy, led to this news exploding in a short amount of time. Soon, many were informed about the events at the Bliss Pavilion.
Even the “Memory Stones” related to the event had begun circulating within a limited circle.
At this moment, deep within an ancient mansion on Monsignor Magical Materials Street, a group of individuals was engrossed in images projected onto the wall.
The room was tight and cramped, yet it held more than ten people.
The air remained stagnant, so silent that even the faintest breath seemed absent. All eyes were glued to the evolving images on the wall.
When, in the end, Hilary retracted his whip, the shadow of the whip vanished and the ice dragon dispersed, the projection gradually came to a close.
“After watching this, what are your opinions?” The speaker was a man draped in a red cloak. In the room, apart from him, everyone else was dressed in black cloaks, each bearing a symbol resembling a “solar eclipse” on the back.
If a Viking were here, he would immediately recognize that the emblem represents none other than the Supreme Demon God of the Abyss——the Profound Lord. All the individuals in this room are members of the Profound Alchemy Association who have once visited the Breezy Magical Materials Shop.
After the man in the red cloak posed his question, there was a momentary silence before a male voice, sharp yet somewhat effeminate, slowly remarked, “A remarkably powerful weapon of assault, yet the Sleepy Trickle to Flowing Stream hasn’t unleashed its full attacking potential.”
“That wasn’t its most formidable attack?” someone inhaled sharply, expressing disbelief.
“Of course not. The Sleepy Trickle to Flowing Stream is merely an apprentice and can only exert about thirty percent of this weapon’s capability. If wielded by a formal wizard, the offensive power would reach a new pinnacle.”
“Is this weapon also suitable for formal wizards?” The speaker’s tone was restrained, but underneath the hood, the eyes in the shadow suddenly lit up.
“Yes, this weapon can be considered a middle to a high rank,” the effeminate man responded, then added with a mocking tone, “I know what you’re thinking. Trying to seize this weapon? Ha! Let alone the fact that the entire Sky Mechanical City is watching this matter now, making you an easy target if you act; considering the relationship between the Super Dimensional Wizard and the Sleepy Trickle to Flowing Stream, do you believe he hasn’t thought about someone coveting it?”
After the effeminate man finished speaking, a man with broad shoulders, standing upright like a knight, also chimed in: “Indeed, the Super Dimensional Wizard must have considered this. This afternoon, several alchemy instructors from Achillea held classes analyzing the Frost Whip as a teaching example. I was present. Although we didn’t arrive at a complete conclusion, it’s certain that there are contract runes and blood runes on the Frost Whip. I need not elaborate on what these two runes signify.”
The initial speaker, the man in the red cloak, whispered, “With the contract and blood runes, it’s basically certain that the Frost Whip recognizes its master through blood. While it isn’t impossible to change ownership, given Angel’s considerations, there’s undoubtedly a self-destruction mechanism for such a transfer.”
Therefore, attempting to seize something might result in expending more effort than the advantages one hopes to gain.
“Rather than the act of plundering, I’m more intrigued by the rank of this whip,” remarked the man in the red cloak, narrowing his eyes. “According to the information I obtained from Infinite Battle Tower, he has undertaken alchemical orders related to both the Philosopher and the Sleepy Trickle to Flowing Stream. And just recently, in the vicinity where Angel resides, there have been two significant alchemical omens. Do you understand the implications of this?”
“Both items are mid-rank or higher. It has been confirmed that the Whip of Frost is nearly of a high-tier. The custom order he’s doing for Onassis likely won’t be below this rank.”
“A near high-rank, given the standards of the Research Institute, is quite expected. However, what’s truly astonishing is the speed of his alchemical crafting…”
For those present, a near high-rank represents the pinnacle of what they have encountered in alchemical creations. Especially for the individual who previously introduced himself as a student from Achillea Comprehensive College, his expression became even graver. In the alchemy world, some have spent decades without managing to craft a mid-rank item. Yet, Angel produced two within just a week, highlighting an immeasurable gap in abilities.
“After all, he is an enchantment alchemist. Compared to blending, he indeed has a significant advantage in terms of alchemy speed,” someone whispered.
“While enchantments are certainly faster than blending, not only is his speed commendable but also the high rank of his creations. In the entire Sky Mechanical City, perhaps he stands alone in this feat,” commented a soft-spoken man. “However, what piqued my curiosity more is why the High Priest suddenly places so much importance on the Super Dimensional Wizard?”
The man referred to as the High Priest, with a mysterious glint in his eyes, responded, “It’s not that I’m giving them undue attention, but it seems there’s a connection between him and the Breezy Magical Materials Shop.”
“Oh?”
The High Priest briefly recounted the recent events at the Breezy Magical Materials Shop, stating, “… Although the Drama Shadow Box they sell does not bear Angel’s emblem, many alchemists have privately confirmed that it’s very likely crafted by him.”
By placing the Drama Shadow Box in the Breezy Magical Materials Shop, Angel is making a bold statement, suggesting that he is the shop’s powerful backer.
“So, the High Priest’s implication is that the Super Dimensional Wizard deliberately intervened in our affairs with the Breezy Magical Materials Shop?”
“It’s hard to say. I summoned you all here to analyze all available information regarding him.”
Analyze the information? The effeminate man paused for a moment, “Does the High Priest intend to take action against the Super Dimensional Wizard?”
His words sparked whispers among the attendees. This was a member of the Research Institute! No one in Sky Mechanical City would dare lay a finger on such individuals!
The High Priest responded not with words, but with a faint smile, “You all understand the importance of the Demon Flower Fairy Magical Bloodstone. Thus, my hope is to uncover the underlying reasons. If we can reason with Angel, that would be ideal. However, if reasoning fails…”
The High Priest paused, leaving the crowd with chills down their spines. Could they really be considering taking action against Angel?
“If we cannot reason…” the High Priest continued with a sly grin, shrugging, “then we’ll just have to let it be. At worst, we’ll start with the Breezy Valley.”
While his words suggested a casual approach, the attendees couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief when looking at the High Priest’s smile.
“Let’s proceed,” the High Priest said, “Shall we continue discussing information about Angel? Let’s begin with his alchemical expertise. Does anyone wish to share their thoughts on the footage shown earlier?”
