Flora briefly lowered her gaze, taking back her complex emotions.
Compared to the news about Sumesh she had learned not long ago, Angel’s achievements seemed insignificant.
“Miss Flora, good afternoon,” Angel said respectfully.
Flora closed her flower umbrella and, accompanied by a waft of rose fragrance, gently landed in front of him.
“Good afternoon,” Flora smiled: “In just a short year, the changes in you have truly surprised me.”
Angel maintained a smile: “It’s just luck.”
Flora looked deeply into his eyes and casually said: “Good fortune favors those who are diligent.”
With a lot on her mind, Flora didn’t actually want to engage in small talk with Angel. After greeting him, she planned to leave. However, the little red creature behind her suddenly began to tremble, and even separated by the Nightmare Domain, Flora sensed its abnormality.
Flora looked back in confusion, quietly communicating with Little Red.
After a while, Flora looked at Angel, or more accurately, at his right hand.
Angel wore a black glove on his right hand.
It appeared to be an ordinary black glove, but Flora faintly sensed a nightmare aura from it. Furthermore, she saw a familiar emblem.
A long sword with wings, embedded in thorns and roses.
This was the family crest of the Iguro family.
“I remember this was the glove of Mentor when he was young, right? It suits you well,” Flora said as she took a rose from Little Red’s hand and handed it to Angel: “Your right hand frightens Little Red, so I’ll have to do this on her behalf.”
As Angel accepted the rose, he felt the green rune on his right hand slightly move, and a nightmare aura surged into the rose. In an instant, the already delicate rose became even more brilliant, with its petals faintly radiating a bright red light.
Angel hesitated for a moment before showing Little Red a smile.
“Thank you, the flower is beautiful.”
Since receiving a rose from Little Red for the first time at the Barbie’s Restaurant, Little Red had handed him a rose almost every time they met. In the past, Angel treated the rose as a decoration, letting it wither.
But now he discovered that, nourished by the nightmare aura, this rose could be used as a small amount of Nightmare Stone and seemed to serve as a casting material for the Nightmare Spell.
Flora also noticed the change in the rose, and her face showed a look of surprise and doubt. Although Sanders had told her about the change in Angel’s right hand, hearing and seeing were two different things. The ability to release the nightmare aura on his own made her both curious and filled with envy.
I really want to chop off this hand…
Flora suppressed the greed in her heart and forcibly shifted her gaze away from Angel’s right hand.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know the specifics about this right hand,” Angel whispered to Little Red.
In Little Red’s withered eye sockets, the green soul fire turned into a crescent shape, waving at Angel to show it was okay.
“I don’t know whether to envy your ignorance or your luck,” Flora smiled helplessly and shook her head: “She gave you the flower, and I have to go now.”
Suddenly, Angel remembered something.
“Miss Flora, can I ask you a question?”
Flora stopped in her tracks: “What is it?”
“About the Spell Positions…” Angel briefly asked the unfinished words from Sanders a week ago: “I have been looking through a lot of information about Spell Positions these days, and I still don’t know what Mentor wanted to say.”
Before Angel finished speaking, Flora had already guessed Sanders’ intention.
This matter was not a secret. Gloria had been with Sanders since she was a child, so she knew very well that he had always had a regret.
A Spell Position can be constructed at each major level. Sanders is currently a second-level wizard, and together with the Spell Position opened during his apprenticeship, he has a total of three Spell Positions.
The first Spell Position, opened during his apprenticeship, was fixed by Sanders: “Mimicry.”
The remaining two Spell Positions were opened when he became a first-level and second-level wizard, respectively, and fixed as “Shadow of Nightmare” and “Nightmare Double.”
Of these three Spell Positions, the latter two were Original Spells created by Sanders after stepping onto the path of true knowledge, and they were the most suitable spells for him.
However, the “Mimicry” of the first Spell Position was a very common third-level trick. Although it could be combined with the Nightmare Domain to cast the powerful “Nightmare Illusion Mimicry,” its application was ultimately a third-rate spell and could not reach the highest level.
So, his biggest regret was not fixing a suitable spell for himself in the first Spell Position.
What kind of spell would be most suitable for him? Undoubtedly, it would be an Original Spell. Just like Gloria’s “Genesis,” the Original Spell approved by the World Will and able to evoke the wonders of heaven and earth was naturally the most suitable for the wizard himself since birth.
If his first Spell Position were also an Original Spell approved by the World Will, it would naturally be the best.
So, it was not difficult to guess what Sanders wanted to tell Angel at that time. He hoped that Angel could start from the highest starting point with his first Spell Position.
But in the end, Sanders didn’t say it. Flora pondered: Did Sanders have no confidence in Angel?
No. Flora directly denied this guess. As a wizard, one can lack anything, including material, knowledge, or even emotion, but one must never lack self-confidence.
If one’s heart is filled with fear, how can one explore the truth?
Sanders might not lack confidence in Angel, so what could be the reason he doesn’t say it?
Flora thought for a moment, and combining it with the Abyssal Plot, it seemed to make some sense.
The reason Sanders didn’t say it was probably because there wasn’t enough time.
To create an Original Spell and gain the approval of the World Will, causing a celestial phenomenon, not only requires opportunities but also a strong foundation and countless data. If Angel were to go down this path, it wouldn’t be possible to achieve it overnight.
The Abyssal Plot could very likely cast the shadow of the Demon God Disaster over the Southern Region. If Angel spent time on this, advancing to the rank of a wizard would naturally be delayed.
Recalling the Demon God Disaster of ten thousand years ago, nearly half of the Southern Region was overturned.
Without advancing to the rank of a wizard before the Demon God Disaster, Angel would have a hard time surviving such an apocalyptic catastrophe unless he was extremely lucky.
Only by becoming a formal wizard would there be a chance of self-preservation.
So, Sanders hesitated whether or not to let Angel go down this path. If the time is delayed, once the Demon God Disaster comes, dying in the catastrophe would render even those with the highest potential a waste.
However, if one could truly establish a foundation of true knowledge during the apprentice stage, stepping onto the path of true knowledge would only be a matter of time.
With this thought, Flora felt more assured.
“Miss Flora?” Seeing Flora’s eyes looking somewhat lost, Angel whispered: “Do you know what Mentor wants to say?”
Flora: “I know, but are you sure you want to know? Mentor doesn’t say it for a reason.”
Angel fell silent for a moment. Since the day Sanders hesitated to speak, he began to search for information about the selection of the Spell Position. He could feel that what Sanders wanted to say was definitely the most suitable for him, but he didn’t understand why Sanders was unwilling to say it.
Perhaps this path is difficult, or there is some hidden difficulty.
But for Angel, he didn’t know about the prospect of the Demon God Disaster, and what he sought was to take the best path. Just like when he practiced the —Singularity Scattering Meditation Method—, Sanders asked him to give up the thirty-six spatial coordinate positioning method, but he resolutely embarked on this path.
Since he was going to embark on the path of a wizard, he naturally wanted to choose the best. So, without hesitation, Angel nodded: “I want to know.”
Looking at Angel’s stubborn expression, Flora hesitated for a moment.
Should she tell him?
Although her rationality told her not to tell Angel, another voice in her heart rose: the news of Sumesh was already a foregone conclusion, and now Angel’s potential had exploded greatly, as if among Sanders’ disciples, her development was the most mediocre.
Thinking about Angel’s cultivation speed, perhaps he would eventually surpass her. How could she handle that?
The Blood Fusion Virus might help her, but it’s not an overnight solution to take to the skies.
Why not just tell him and delay him for a while?
The little devil in her heart urged Flora to tell him. But in the end, Flora didn’t say anything, and her reason still triumphed over the devilish thoughts.
Wizards always put reason first.
“If you really want to know, go find Mentor. I think he will respect your decision.” Flora didn’t say it, but she still paved the way, it depends on whether Angel is willing to take the leap himself.
After saying that, Flora turned around and looked at the second-floor study of the distant castle.
At some point, Sanders was standing on the balcony, looking at them with a gloomy gaze.
Flora waved goodbye to him, and at the same time, she silently said: “Instead of hiding it, why not let Angel decide for himself?”
Flora left.
Only Angel and Sanders remained, staring at each other from a distance of several meters.
After a long face-to-face confrontation, Sanders finally shook his head and sighed: “If you really want to know, come to my study.”
…
Angel came to Sanders’ study, and from Sanders’ mouth, Angel still got the answer he wanted.
“If you really want to choose, and fix the first Spell Position with the creation of an Original Spell, the time it takes may exceed your imagination. Even a hundred years may not be enough to complete the creation of an Original Spell.” Sanders paused: “I can tell you that perhaps in ten or twenty years, the Southern Region will face another Demon God Disaster. If you delay your cultivation because of pursuing the perfection of the first Spell Position, you may be eliminated by the era due to insufficient strength when the Demon God Disaster comes.”
“Therefore, I do not recommend you to spend so much energy on the first Spell Position.”
After Sanders finished, Angel fell silent.
It turns out there’s really an inside story.
However, his first reaction was not the construction of the Spell Position, but what to do with his family under the “Demon God Disaster”?
Regarding Angel’s change of thought, Sanders just responded indifferently: “If you can become an official wizard before the Demon God Disaster, protecting your family is not a difficult task.”
“So, what do you decide?”
Angel pondered for a moment and said solemnly: “I feel that now is not the time for me to make a decision…”
“Is the choice difficult?”
“No, I think what I need to consider now is, even if I don’t pursue the creation of an Original Spell, why are you so sure that I can become an official wizard before the Demon God Disaster? I’ve been practicing for less than two years!”
Sanders: “…” It seems that Angel is right.
