The night mist still lingered, and the morning light was faint.
At such a time when day and night alternated, two women in sheer gowns washed their feet by a small stream at the edge of Apprentice Town, laughing gracefully like flowers amidst the prickling light that filtered through the forest at dawn.
The woman in a white sheer gown was about seventeen or eighteen, with golden long hair. The morning light played with her hair in the breeze, making her look like an ethereal spirit.
The woman in a translucent golden gown was in her early thirties, possessing a voluptuous figure and a captivating gaze in her purple eyes. Her long, brownish-black hair soaked in the stream, and with a gentle shake, she presented a sexy and wet scene.
The men who had been originally tailing Angel nearby were now fixated on the two women, swallowing saliva and wishing they could pounce on them.
Despite their harmonious and elegant appearance, the two women were discussing a rather trivial topic.
“I’ve been washing my feet for two days. My feet are about to swell up.”
“Well, at least you’re just soaking your feet. I’ve been wet for two days. I’ll definitely get sick when I go back.”
“Hang in there, for the sake of the future.”
“The future… What future? If we accidentally anger the wizard, we won’t have any future.”
“We can’t think like that. Wizards are people too, with their own desires and emotions. If we can pry open a gap, there’s no reason we can’t conquer their hearts.”
“Well, maybe it’ll work with other wizards, but this one… It’s hard to say.”
“What do you mean?”
“I had a sister named Melanor who used to work at Tree Spirit Hall. She tried to seduce this wizard but ended up getting scolded. This wizard just doesn’t understand romance.”
As the two whispered to each other, the door that had remained motionless for several days suddenly opened.
Angel, wearing a wizard’s robe and hood, slowly strolled to the courtyard entrance.
With his movements, people around him began to surge forward.
As soon as Angel opened the courtyard gate, people immediately surrounded him:
“Mr. Pat, my master sent a letter for you, please take a look when you have time.”
“I have a disposable space capsule here, a gift from my master to Mr. Pat, please see the details!”
“Mr. Pat…”
“Mr. Pat…”
Just as Angel was about to speak, a forceful magical power burst into the crowd, forcibly separating the people surrounding him. Then, a chubby man with gold teeth approached Angel, “Master Pat, my name is Julian. Nice to meet you.”
Angel could sense the surging magical power from this man, another third-level apprentice.
Angel lowered his gaze, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Julian. I’m busy today, perhaps we can chat another time.”
With that, Angel tried to walk around him.
Julian’s face darkened as he extended his fat hand to block Angel’s path, “Master Pat, please give me some face. Hear me out?” As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and two women at the riverside, swaying their hips, walked over with seductive expressions.
“They are my gifts to you, Master. One is a novice, the other skilled in bed. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.” Julian gave Angel a lewd wink. Angel remained expressionless, but onlookers showed envy.
Julian motioned for the women to approach.
However, as they struck their poses, and their jade-like arms reached out, Angel raised his hand to stop them.
“No need, you can keep them. I have no interest in them.”
Julian’s eyes darted around, pushing the women away and pulling a handsome man from the crowd, “How about him?”
The man looked confused but quickly recovered, flicking his hair and striking what he believed to be a cool pose.
Seeing this, Angel felt a surge of nausea and nearly spat blood, “I don’t have any special preferences! Today, my Mentor is looking for me. Mr. Julian, if you really want to stop me, I don’t mind staying to talk with you.”
Hearing Angel mention “Mentor,” Julian’s face changed, and he stepped aside, “Since Lord Sanders has business with you, I dare not obstruct. Let’s talk another time.”
With Sanders’ name as cover, Angel swaggered away.
However, after Angel left, Julian snorted, “Lord Sanders has business with you? Fine, I’ll save face for you this time.” With that, Julian turned and walked away, not forgetting to take the two veiled women with him, “If you won’t enjoy them, I will!”
After Angel left, people continued to point and whisper about him. It wasn’t until he boarded the vine bus that it became somewhat quiet.
He was the only one on the vine bus, and it was then that he let Toby out. Toby crawled out from the spacious wizard robe, flapped his wings, and landed on Angel’s shoulder.
Toby’s wounds had healed, but the feathers on his chest and back had not grown back yet. However, wearing a white lace princess dress, it was not noticeable.
The previous night, Angel had devised a basic alchemy plan involving a complex magical array enchantment, which he anticipated would cause anomalies. That’s why Angel set out early in the morning to prepare for the synthesis at the Dimensional Laboratory of the Flowing Source.
The reason for bringing Toby along was that there was no place to store his belongings.
Beneath Toby’s neck feathers, there was a piece of icy-soft, snow-white feather material. This was the spacial item that Angel had crafted for Toby overnight. With a 9-cubic-meter capacity, it was a masterpiece among low-level spacial items. Inside, it held Toby’s clothes, food, and a small bed. Angel named it: Snowy Feather.
He had to go to the Flowing Source, which meant he needed to transport many materials. However, all the spacial items he crafted were for sale. As a last resort, Angel packed all the materials and alchemy items into Snowy Feather and took Toby along.
Toby chirped and chatted on Angel’s shoulder. Ever since receiving Snowy Feather, the bird had been ecstatic. Its way of expressing happiness was to nuzzle people and sing.
Although Toby’s singing was… difficult to listen to, Angel let it be as long as it was happy. After all, there was no one else on the vine bus.
Toby played and frolicked for a while, and Angel studied it with interest: “You’re a male bird, why aren’t you embarrassed to wear a princess dress?”
Toby stopped singing and gestured with its wings: “Chirp, chirp.” Because it looks nice.
“You’re right, human gender aesthetics shouldn’t be imposed on a bird,” Angel nodded, “But why do you, as a bird, care so much about your appearance? Is it to attract female birds? For mating?”
Angel thought of the wildlife documentaries he’d seen recently and asked curiously.
You’re the one who wants to mate! Toby rolled its eyes, thinking of Snowy Feather that Angel had given it, and resisted the urge to kick him, explaining its own nature instead.
Toby gestured for a long time, and the content was extremely complicated. Angel asked again and again until the vine bus reached Tree Spirit Courtyard station when Angel finally understood the gist of it.
Putting Toby back into his wizard robe, Angel walked towards the Flowing Source while pondering Toby’s words.
The creation of Gloria was the pinnacle of self-created magic, even transcending the barriers of the Mysterious Gourmet School and reaching an unknown mysterious realm.
Through her creation magic, Gloria had created creatures with incredible abilities such as Fragment Ephemera, Steam Magic Vortex, and Twisted Protozoa.
However, these creatures all shared one characteristic: they lacked intelligence.
Toby, an accidental creation, represented the peak of Gloria’s creation magic, even breaking the world’s will and creating a creature that possessed not only intelligence but also magical power.
Toby’s birth was unexpected, but the unexpected event didn’t throw Gloria into chaos.
As everyone knows, any chef would taste the seasoning when serving a dish. Although a Gourmet Wizard is a wizard, they are still a chef at heart.
When Gloria “cooked” Toby, she was surprised at first, but once she determined his attributes, she began to freely sprinkle him with the chef’s touch and various seasonings.
From Gloria’s Barbie restaurant, it was clear that she was not a serious person. Or rather, there were not many serious people in the entire Candy House, let alone the whole Fairy Tale Town.
Thus, the first seasoning Gloria added to Toby was “playfulness.”
“Playfulness” might sound lewd, but Toby’s playfulness was actually manifested in his unique sense of aesthetics and his pathological love for colorful clothing.
Angel stroked his chin, originally thinking that Toby’s hobby was cultivated by Gloria over a long time, but it turned out to be due to an unexpected “seasoning” added during the cooking process.
“Did Gloria add any other seasonings when she cooked you?” Angel asked curiously.
Through his mental tentacles, Angel sensed Toby shaking his head in his pocket.
Toby: “Chirp chirp.” It seemed there were other seasonings, but he didn’t know what they were.
Angel nodded in understanding and then exclaimed, “Creation magic is truly a marvelous spell. Are all self-created spells that defy conventions and forge their own paths so magical?”
All self-created spells are actually a summary of one’s own insights, experiences, and knowledge, and they must be original. It’s not just about rearranging the elements; there are some mysterious side spells that can’t be recombined. How would you handle those?
Angel suddenly had a bold idea: with his knowledge of another civilization’s progression, could he summarize some of the insights and pathways from Earth’s civilization into self-created spells?
…
The Flowing Source.
Angel stopped before a shimmering blue lake.
He passed by this lake every time he visited Tree Spirit Courtyard, but he had never paid attention to it before.
However, to Angel’s surprise, after Bass transferred the record card of the Dimensional Laboratory to him, he mentioned that the Flowing Source was this unassuming blue lake.
According to Bass, as long as one had the record card and jumped into the lake, they could enter the alternate dimension.
The Flowing Source was located in a remote area. Angel looked around and saw no one nearby. He thought for a moment, took out the record card shimmering with a crystalline glow, and slowly stepped into the lake from the shore.
