Angel stretched out his hand and touched the pendant on his chest through his clothes.
—Heavenly Eye.
He wore the Heavenly Eye every day, even not taking it off when taking a shower. Because it was too familiar, sometimes even he himself overlooked its existence, as if it was a part of his body.
He didn’t put too much thought into it, just considering it as a memento of his enlightenment mentor, Jon.
Even though the Heavenly Eye now looked like an ordinary accessory, and even Sanders, who stepped onto the path of true knowledge, did not see anything special about it.
But Angel didn’t forget how special the Heavenly Eye was.
Earth and the Wizarding World, these are two completely different cosmological orientations. Angel even once doubted whether the Earth and the Wizarding World were in the same universe. The Heavenly Eye was able to bring Jon from Earth to the Wizarding World, which showed its uniqueness.
Last time on the Cloud Whale, while Angel was in deep sleep, the Heavenly Eye also underwent a change. Although Angel didn’t see it, Nausica noticed, and Toby indirectly confirmed that it was the Heavenly Eye at work. As for why it changed, he didn’t know for the time being, which also showed that the Heavenly Eye was extraordinary.
There was also the most powerful evidence that the Heavenly Eye could not be put into the bracelet. When Angel tried to put the Heavenly Eye into the bracelet, there was an inexplicable feeling that if the Heavenly Eye entered the bracelet, the internal space would collapse.
These three points can prove the special nature of the Heavenly Eye.
Now, Saladin’s words made Angel discover another new special feature of it.
Angel had read a lot about materials from other worlds in —Multiple Material Combinations— and —Alchemy Material Encyclopedia—.
Each one was talking about how items tainted with the aura of another world would be worn away by the Great Will over time. If it was a magical plant or something similar, it could even be assimilated in the Wizarding World and become localized.
The aura of non-living things is even more rootless, floating and drifting. The aura of items from other worlds cannot stay on an object for too long after arriving in the Wizarding World. It is easily eliminated, but the Heavenly Eye on his body has been in the Wizarding World for decades, yet the aura of the other world seems to have never disappeared.
If Saladin hadn’t told him, he wouldn’t have believed it.
This also shows the special nature of the Heavenly Eye.
At the same time, he reminded Angel that he should not take the protection of the Heavenly Eye lightly. There are always talented people in the world who will discover the special features of the Heavenly Eye, just like Saladin. Although there are many things with the aura of another world, Saladin may not have paid attention this time, but what about next time?
Moreover, Angel was also worried about the huge figure standing behind Saladin—The Extreme Sect.
Even an apprentice like Saladin could sense something, and the sect behind him must have a way to perceive the aura of other planes. If the Heavenly Eye is discovered once or twice, it could be considered negligence, but what about three or four times?
The guard apprentice had said before that there were more than one person from the Extreme Sect this time.
Angel furrowed his brow; it seemed that he had to find a way to conceal the aura of the Heavenly Eye as soon as possible.
…
Champagne Road was lined with various bars and hotels. Usually, the street was not very lively, but due to the opening of the Purification Garden, tens of thousands of wizard apprentices came from all over, and Champagne Road became the most bustling area in the main city due to the issue of accommodation.
Angel walked down the street, surrounded by wizard apprentices dressed in various styles.
His black robe with a large hood stood out among the odd outfits of the apprentices, like a refreshing stream.
Moreover, wearing strange clothes might not even be considered truly eye-catching here.
Those enveloped in black mist, floating above the ground, shining brightly, or emitting a soft glow… It seemed that if they didn’t add some special effects to themselves, they would feel inferior.
Angel kept his distance from such people.
In the end, he stopped in front of a bar with a colorful neon sign.
This was 93 Champagne Road, Woodrow Bar. Through the open wooden windows, one could faintly see the lively scene inside, with roars, singing, and teasing… Accompanied by the faint aroma of wine, it showed off its flashy status.
As he pushed open the door, a warm atmosphere enveloped him.
Even in the depths of winter, the inside was still as hot as summer.
Angel’s entrance caught the attention of some people, but most of them just glanced at him and then looked away. Except for the bartender in black and white uniform.
The well-groomed, neatly dressed bartender approached Angel: “Honorable guest, what would you like to order?”
The bartender was a mortal, but he was very good-looking, and his smile attracted the playful teasing of several female apprentices nearby. Some even boldly invited the bartender to come to their room for something intimate at night.
The bartender just smiled at them, returned a few polite words, and then turned his attention back to Angel.
Angel glanced at the versatile bartender and said in a low voice: “Take me to the Bliss Pavilion.”
When Angel mentioned the Bliss Pavilion, the people around suddenly fell silent, all looking at Angel as if they wanted to see through him.
“Bliss Pavilion? Could it be someone from the Extreme Sect coming for us?” someone murmured quietly.
Just a few minutes ago, Coral returned to the bar with her new companion, and the events surrounding her had drawn the attention of everyone in the bar. So when Angel mentioned Bliss Pavilion, it immediately caught their interest.
The bartender hesitated for a moment, although he was a mortal, he had been here for a long time and understood some of the affairs between the Wizarding World’s organizations. He asked: “Do you have an invitation card to Bliss Pavilion?”
“What invitation card?” Angel frowned.
“I’m sorry, but if you don’t have an invitation card, I can’t bring you to disturb our other guests,” the bartender said.
Before Angel could respond, a provocatively dressed female apprentice who had been flirting with the bartender earlier interjected: “If you don’t have an invitation card, leave now. I’ll tell you, the owner of this bar is a wizard, and he hates the Extreme Sect the most.”
Angel glanced at her without giving any explanation and walked past the bartender towards the bar counter.
That’s because he saw his target for this trip—Nausica.
The person he had been inquiring about from the shadows was Nausica.
He remembered that Nausica had also participated in the Sky Tower competition. If she had successfully reached the top, she should have arrived at Sky Mechanical City by now. He had been delayed for various reasons and only had time to look for Nausica’s whereabouts today through the local informants in the shadows.
Nausica walked to the bar counter and ordered a drink from the bartender.
As Angel was about to approach her, the female apprentice who had interrupted earlier blocked his way: “I’ve told you, the bar doesn’t welcome members of the Extreme Sect. Please leave immediately.”
Her voice did not lower, attracting the attention of everyone around. Nausica also turned to look.
Angel said softly: “Get out of the way.”
The female apprentice seemed determined to cause trouble for Angel. Her eyes flashed, and she wanted to use the power of the bar owner to strike at the spirit of the “Extreme Sect.” At the same time, she could also show off in front of everyone, a great opportunity for someone who craved attention.
However, she clearly miscalculated.
Angel’s aura suddenly darkened, and with a gentle point at the female apprentice from a distance, a wave of the nightmare energy entered her brow.
The female apprentice froze on the spot, her expression revealing deep fear.
Angel didn’t even look at her, he simply walked past her and approached Nausica.
“Extreme Sect?” Nausica squinted her eyes and asked in her sexy, husky voice.
Angel didn’t answer immediately but instead examined his friend whom he hadn’t seen for half a year through the shadows of his hood. Over the past months, Nausica’s figure had become more alluring due to her bloodline, and she wore a bright red cape over her soft armor, using the large cape to cover her empty right arm.
Seeing the robed figure in front of her not speaking, Nausica felt a bit strange in her heart. She carefully observed the other person, feeling a faint sense of familiarity.
“Nausica, long time no see.”
A clear voice like a bright moon suddenly struck Nausica’s heart.
Her heart rate accelerated.
“You… you are… Angel?”
Before Nausica could finish speaking, a sudden punch came from behind.
“Damn it, what did you do to Xena?” The punch was accompanied by a scolding.
Angel didn’t move but let the nightmare energy enter the attacker’s brain. Almost instantly, the attacker behind fell unconscious.
“You!” The loss of fighting power of two people in a row, one with a terrified face like a disease and the other unconscious, immediately aroused the backlash of the others in the bar.
Facing the crowd, Angel had the nightmare energy flowing around him. The previous female apprentice had inexplicably picked a fight and directly identified his identity. Since she wasn’t injured, he only punished her lightly; but the person who attacked him sneakily had a fierce punch. If he were an ordinary apprentice, he might have been seriously injured. The punishment he received was based on the strength of the sneak attack.
He wasn’t afraid of the group’s anger, and even felt a hint of excitement when facing the crowd’s backlash.
—If he severely injured all these people, preventing them from participating in the Purification Garden, wouldn’t that actually save their lives?
With this thought in mind, Angel’s aura became even stronger.
“You all misunderstood, he’s my friend, not a member of the Extreme Sect.” At this moment, Nausica stepped forward to stand in front of Angel.
As a member of the Savage Grottoes, Nausica had a certain prestige among the apprentices of various small organizations. As she spoke, the others sat down one after another, except for the female apprentice Xena and the companion of the sneak attacker, who still glared angrily.
Nausica turned her head, pointed at the shivering Xena, and the unconscious person, and whispered: “They…”
“They’ll be fine soon, you don’t have to worry about it.” Angel’s words were meant for Nausica and the others.
After finishing, Angel whispered: “Can we talk privately?”
Nausica glanced at Xena and whispered to her: “Since… he said it’s okay, it should be okay. I’ll come and check on you later.”
After finishing, Nausica nodded to the others in the bar and led Angel to the bar’s backyard.
