Angel didn’t know why Gloria appeared here or her purpose for finding Sanders, and he had no intention of prying. For him, having Toby reunite with her here was enough to console him.
After Angel returned to his bedroom, he slept comfortably.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside.
There were mournful cries coming from outside the window. After washing up, Angel stood on the balcony and looked into the garden. He found Gloria still wielding her whip, training Toby who had transformed into a Griffin.
Toby pitifully looked at Angel, who made a helpless gesture.
Toby could only lower his head in sadness.
Accompanied by Gloria’s sharp laughter, a new, tiring day began for Toby.
Angel leaned on the balcony and watched for a while, a trace of doubt in his eyes. He remembered Toby saying that his Griffin form could only be maintained for half an hour when he was at full power. But somehow, Gloria managed to keep Toby in Griffin form the entire time.
In his Griffin form, Toby’s strength was incomparable to his normal state.
Not only was he tough and strong, but he could also fly and use fire attacks. Most importantly, with the support of the Gravity Lines, Toby didn’t appear clumsy even when transformed into a huge creature. His speed and agility were both outstanding.
If he could also control the Gravity Lines for off-body attacks, he would be invincible at the same level!
Angel watched in awe, but also with delight. As his most reliable companion, the stronger Toby was, the better for him.
Angel watched for a while longer and saw that Toby’s Griffin form seemed to be becoming unstable.
With a wave of her hand, Gloria produced a plant that looked quite familiar.
Toby, with a mournful face, ate the tender bud at the top of the plant as usual. Then, his energy visibly returned to its peak.
His previously unstable Griffin form became solid again.
Angel looked at the plant curiously, wondering if it was the secret to maintaining Toby’s form.
Perhaps noticing Angel’s curiosity, Gloria also took the opportunity to speak while Toby was eating the tender bud: “Don’t you find this plant very familiar?”
It took Angel a while to realize that Gloria was talking to him, and he hurriedly replied: “It does look familiar, Lady Gloria, this is…”
“You forgot? This is a type of tea leaf I obtained from Alan’s relatives. If I recall correctly, it comes from your family’s tea plantation, right?” Gloria said.
Upon hearing this, Angel suddenly understood: “Morning Dew After Rain?”
Initially, it was because of the Morning Dew After Rain that he got involved with Morrow and eventually entered the Wizarding World. No wonder the plant looked familiar to him.
However, he remembered that Morrow mentioned that the Morning Dew After Rain seemed to be helpful for breakthroughs. How come it now seemed to restore energy?
Since Angel could make breakthroughs without relying on external forces due to his meditation method, he had never used the Morning Dew After Rain. Moreover, he didn’t like the bitter taste of the tea, so he left the Morning Dew After Rain to collect dust in a corner of his bracelet space.
“That’s right, the Morning Dew After Rain. I discovered that it is an extremely peculiar plant, and it doesn’t seem to be native to the Wizarding World. Since I obtained it in the form of processed tea, I used the Genesis spell to reverse-engineer it, added some of my own ideas, and finally created this plant… I call it the Magic Replenishing Flower,” Gloria explained.
Gloria gave a brief explanation.
The Magic Replenishing Flower, as the name suggests, can replenish magic in real-time, and not just raw magic, but refined magic.
In terms of its effects alone, it is an essential item for wizards during a desperate counterattack!
Just imagine, when both sides are fighting and running out of magic, consuming a flower would instantly revive you, making it a powerful weapon.
Upon hearing this, Angel was also startled. If it truly replenishes refined magic, it would be a first in the wizarding world.
As every wizard has different mental power models and magic sources, the nature of their magic varies. Therefore, to have the best matching magic, one must refine it themselves.
To his knowledge, methods to quickly replenish magic usually have severe side effects.
Gloria’s Magic Replenishing Flower, daring to be used directly on Toby, likely has no side effects, making it a groundbreaking invention.
Perhaps even the “Fragment Ephemera” couldn’t compare to the Magic Replenishing Flower.
However, Gloria said the next second: “However, the Magic Replenishing Flower cannot be used on humans. For magical creatures like Toby, there’s no problem, as they don’t have mental power models, and their magic sources can accommodate various types of magic.”
Upon hearing this, Angel put away his astonishment.
Although it’s a powerful tool for magical creatures, it still falls within an acceptable range.
With the addition of the Magic Replenishing Flower, Toby could maintain the Griffin form for an extended period of time. Originally, he could only spend half an hour each day to familiarize himself with the Griffin form, but now he saves much time, allowing him to become more proficient in this state much faster.
The Magic Replenishing Flower was not obtained easily, and its cost was not low. However, Gloria did not care about the cost, as she wanted to take advantage of this time for Toby to grow quickly and be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances in the future.
…
After bidding farewell to Gloria, Angel returned to his meditation chamber and began searching for the magic formation corresponding to the crown.
Having six known runes and knowing their order made finding the magic formation much easier.
There was no need to deliberately search for the last unknown rune; it could be found using the process of elimination.
Before long, he found several magic formations containing the “six known runes” in the —Advanced Enchantment Compendium—. After eliminating the ones with incorrect sequences, only two magic formations remained.
The first: Bloodline Refinement.
The second: Bloodline Tracing.
Angel was surprised that both of the final two magic formations were related to bloodlines, as he had estimated from the six known runes that the final magic formation would likely be related to “blood.”
The first was a magic formation used for bloodline refinement. There were many methods for refining bloodlines, and using a magic formation was just one of them. It was particularly effective for stubborn bloodline bonds.
However, according to Angel’s knowledge, not many people knew that magic formations could be used to refine bloodlines. He guessed that this type of magic formation might have been lost.
The second magic formation was quite unique.
Angel had never heard of it before, and this was his first encounter with it.
After reading the description of this magic formation in the book, he immediately thought of the mysterious Profound Lord, who stood behind the Profound Alchemy Society.
When the Profound Lord spread his true name, he naturally needed to provide a blessing: Blood Soul Sacrifice.
The items used in the Blood Soul Sacrifice were actually meant to be combined with one’s own bloodline. From then on, the item could be controlled at will, its effects greatly enhanced, and it could not be taken by others. It was an advanced version of a “contract rune.”
Through Blood Soul Sacrifice, many wizards integrated themselves with their weapons, greatly enhancing their combat power. It could be said that this was a hidden contribution from the Profound Lord to the Wizarding World.
And Bloodline Tracing was a magic formation very similar to Blood Soul Sacrifice.
Its other functions were similar to Blood Soul Sacrifice, but it had one special feature.
As long as this magic formation was engraved, one’s lifeblood would be connected to the item. No matter where the item was, its exact location could be sensed.
In other words, it has an additional positioning function compared to “Blood Soul Sacrifice.”
From this, it can be seen that Bloodline Tracing is actually more useful than Blood Soul Sacrifice.
But in today’s wizarding world, basically everyone uses Blood Soul Sacrifice, and no one uses Bloodline Tracing… As for the reason, Angel could probably guess. Loss of transmission might be one reason; but the most important reason is that Bloodline Tracing uses one’s own heart blood, and once the heart blood is connected, they all suffer.
Because of this side effect, the use of Bloodline Tracing gradually decreased.
Returning to the main topic, after seeing these two magic power formations, Angel’s next step is to determine which magic power formation is engraved on the crown?
Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can roughly infer it.
Because when using the “Bloodline Reflux” magic power formation, auxiliary materials are needed to refine the bloodline. Therefore, there must be a place to put the materials, and it is impossible to engrave it on such a small crown.
So, in the end, there is only one result: Bloodline Tracing.
After determining the magic power formation, the next thing is to choose materials and engrave.
Choosing materials is not difficult, as they are all low-grade materials. Moreover, the redhead left a pigeon blood red gemstone, so in the end, there is only the problem of engraving.
Angel spent another week practicing engraving. With the help of the holographic tablet and the energy stabilizer, he finally crafted the crown when the countdown of the Month of Hibernation began.
When the crown appeared, rolling blood clouds appeared in the sky above the Blooming Manor.
“Alchemy Omen Sign?” Gloria was training Toby when the blood cloud appeared, but she didn’t think too much about it. Because Mechanical City often has Alchemy Omen Signs, but when the blood cloud spread in the sky above the Blooming Manor, she stopped the whip in her hand and slowly turned her gaze to Angel’s room on the second floor.
Sanders, who was originally writing quickly, also raised his head due to the Alchemy Omen Sign and looked at Angel in the quiet room.
Angel, however, had his eyes closed and was searching for a way out in the vision.
Alchemy Omen Sign not only announces the birth of an entry-level item but also tests the crafter with a vision.
The reason Angel held the —Advanced Enchantment Compendium— with so many magic power formations without using them was that he didn’t have much confidence in experiencing the test of the visions.
Fortunately, this vision was not too difficult.
With Angel’s own realm now higher, in the “Blood Sea Vision,” he rode a flat boat and braved the rolling waves, finally succeeding in reaching the shore.
As the success of landing, Angel’s eyes slowly opened.
In front of him was an elaborate, intricate crown with a faint blood glow, which looked incredibly gorgeous.
Crafting successful!
Just as Angel wanted to check if there were any flaws in this crown, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
