Becoming an official wizard is not something that can be achieved easily.
For ninety-nine percent of wizard apprentices, stepping into the realm of an official wizard is already a great chasm, let alone laying a solid foundation for the path of true knowledge before becoming an official wizard.
However, it seems that both Sanders and Flora have implicitly assumed that Angel can surely cross this chasm and challenge even greater abysses at the same time. However, challenging this abyss might take some time.
Their focus is on whether Angel wants to spend this time to challenge the abyss.
Yet, Angel himself is not as optimistic as they are.
Not to mention challenging the abyss, he doesn’t even have absolute confidence in crossing the chasm of the barrier to a higher realm.
The reason he was able to quickly advance to a third-level apprentice was due to the unique nature of the guidance method, which bypasses the barriers during promotion. However, even the most special guidance method still has little effect when facing the leap between major realms. It still depends on one’s own accumulation, the depth of their foundation, and personal comprehension.
Angel personally believes that if he can step into the realm of wizards through normal cultivation before the age of thirty, he would already be satisfied.
So when Sanders asked how he planned to choose, he really couldn’t answer. At least, before choosing whether or not to challenge the abyss, he must have absolute confidence in becoming an official wizard!
After pondering for a moment, Sanders nodded: “That’s true, you’re right. If you can’t even become a wizard, don’t even think about anything else.”
“You can consider the matter of the spell position when you reach the peak of your apprenticeship, and only talk about choices when you’re sure you can cross the barrier.”
Angel nodded in agreement, which was also his most genuine inner thought.
However, if he really had to make a choice now, Angel would most likely choose to aim for becoming an official wizard first. After all, if he can’t even become an official wizard, then under the Demon God Disaster, he would probably only end up turning into ashes.
“Do you have anything else?” Sanders asked, seeing that Angel didn’t intend to leave yet.
Angel hesitated for a moment: “Mentor, what was Miss Flora here for today?”
He had initially planned to leave directly, but Angel noticed something strange.
Ever since he came to the study today, he found that Sanders seemed a bit different… He couldn’t pinpoint what was different, but it seemed as though his emotions were more expressive than in previous days.
Moreover, this emotional change wasn’t negative but rather positive.
Could it be that something good happened?
Angel recalled that this morning at the breakfast table, Sanders’ mood seemed normal and similar to before. But now, just a few hours later, after Flora’s visit, Sanders’ mood had changed dramatically.
Therefore, Angel speculated that this matter might be related to Flora?
It was rare to see Sanders’ emotions change, and even Angel, who didn’t like gossiping about others, couldn’t help but ask.
However, he didn’t ask directly, but took a roundabout approach.
But no matter how roundabout Angel’s approach was, Sanders still knew what he was getting at.
“You actually want to ask me why I’m happy today?” Sanders raised an eyebrow.
Angel scratched his head sheepishly.
“Actually, if I don’t say, I estimate that you will find out in a few days.” Sanders’ mouth curved slightly: “Sumesh has entered the realm of true knowledge.”
Sumesh entered the realm of true knowledge?!
Angel was taken aback for a moment. At first, he didn’t react to who Sumesh was, but he quickly recalled.
Although he wasn’t familiar with “Sumesh” and hadn’t even seen him, the frequency of hearing his name wasn’t low. Especially when someone mentioned Sanders’ students, Sumesh’s name would always be brought up.
So far, Sanders had taken on three apprentices.
Flora was an orphan, raised by Sanders since childhood, and naturally became his apprentice; Angel joined Sanders’ tutelage the year before.
In addition to the two of them, Sanders also had another apprentice. The first apprentice he took on, who had been under Sanders’ tutelage for over a hundred years.
That person was Sumesh.
For Angel, he was a person who only existed in rumors and whispers.
He knew that Sumesh was also an illusionist, but his specialty was the true illusion system, which involved grasping and perceiving everything through the boundaries of reality and illusion, and combining the real and the imaginary.
He knew that Sumesh’s nickname was “The Faceless One.”
He also knew that Sumesh left the Savage Grottoes fifty years ago to find his own path.
Unexpectedly, after fifty years of absence, Sumesh had truly set foot on the path of true knowledge.
Fifty years! For the vast majority of wizards, it was just a blink of an eye, and time passed in a flash. But in those fifty years, Sumesh found the path of true knowledge, showing that his talent and aptitude were absolutely top-notch.
No wonder Sanders couldn’t help but feel happy, and his cold demeanor softened considerably.
Two true knowledge wizards in one lineage! Probably, there are only a handful of people in the Southern Region who have this achievement.
After Sumesh entered the realm of true knowledge, the influence of Sanders’ lineage would also have a greater say in the Savage Grottoes. Although Sanders had no interest in power, having more say at least gave them more autonomy when it came to assigning tasks.
Angel was quite happy, even though he had not met Sumesh, they were fellow disciples after all.
“Was it Miss Flora who told Mentor?” Angel asked curiously.
Sanders nodded: “Flora had once spent twenty years on the frontier of the Frost Moon Alliance, and became good friends with Sineva. Sineva recently informed her that Sumesh, in the wizard camp of Shuen World, had caused an Omen Sign for hundreds of miles, created a new spell, and stepped onto the path of true knowledge.”
Angel listened with yearning and was very curious about the spells Sumesh created. Unfortunately, Sumesh was still in Shuen World, and he couldn’t witness it in person.
As they discussed Sumesh, Sanders suddenly frowned and took out his crystal ball communicator.
Several congratulatory messages fell into the communicator, indicating that people already knew about Sumesh’s news.
At that moment, Goode, the housekeeper, suddenly knocked on the door of the study, saying that a wizard had come to visit.
Most of the visiting wizards were probably here for the news about Sumesh. Sanders didn’t like socializing, but he rarely said: “Alright, open the Phantom Island’s prohibition and let them in!”
In addition to the visiting news, Sanders also received a message from Rhine Mute, congratulating him while also inviting Sanders to meet up.
The once quiet Phantom Island became lively in an instant.
Angel took his leave at this time, as a large group of wizards would soon arrive, and he, a small shrimp, wouldn’t fit into a gathering of wizards.
Before Angel left, he suddenly thought of a question: “Mentor, when will Lady Gloria come to the Savage Grottoes?”
“If nothing unexpected happens, she will arrive in a couple of days.”
At the same time, on the other side of Paramjit Plateau, in the Eternal Night Kingdom, Gloria walked out of a teleportation circle.
This was the Sleepless City, located in the southeast of the Eternal Night Kingdom.
Sleepless City and Twilight’s Edge were two quasi-large wizard organizations in the Eternal Night Kingdom. Although located in the Eternal Night Kingdom, the actual ruling power of the Eternal Night Kingdom had little understanding of these two wizard organizations.
Just like Sky Mechanical City, which had been floating above Gloriosa Kingdom for years, most ordinary people in Gloriosa Kingdom had never even heard of Sky Mechanical City. Occasionally, on cloudless or sparsely clouded days, they would catch a glimpse of the city’s splendor in the sky, giving rise to many mysterious rumors.
The same was true for Sleepless City.
This was a legendary city in the hearts of the people of the Eternal Night Kingdom. According to legend, Sleepless City, also known as the City of Endless Day, was always day and never night.
In reality, it was almost the same, but this “endless day” was achieved by a massive magic formation.
When Gloria emerged from the teleportation circle of Sleepless City, the first thing she saw was the Everlasting Daylight radiance that resembled a dome.
The Everlasting Daylight was a magic formation inscribed beneath Sleepless City. However, when the magic formation was completed, it formed a dome. It not only provided the effect of “eternal daylight” but also had a certain effect on gathering magic.
“Under this dome, the concentration of primal magic power has increased fivefold. If Angel could draw this magic formation, it would be nice to ask him to draw one when the Barbie Restaurant reopens,” Gloria thought to herself.
After leaving the teleportation circle, Gloria took to the air and flew towards the outskirts of Sleepless City. Losing her physical body made it unrealistic for her to create a dimensional passage with her current strength, so she had to slowly fly towards the Savage Grottoes.
Fortunately, Sleepless City was already close to Paramjit Plateau, so she didn’t have to fly too long.
Before she flew out of Sleepless City, Gloria suddenly pricked her ears and looked down. On the street below, several people were gathered, discussing the latest news from the Frost Moon plane.
She stopped because she faintly heard the name “Sanders.”
Hovering in midair, Gloria listened carefully to the whispers below.
After a while, Gloria’s expression changed slightly, and she sighed softly: “I didn’t expect Sumesh to set foot on this path too…”
She still vaguely remembered a hundred years ago when Sanders brought Sumesh to her Barbie Restaurant to buy Twisted Protozoa.
At that time, the cold-faced little demon was only a second-level apprentice.
But in the blink of an eye, Sumesh had stepped onto the path of true knowledge. As for herself, she had been stuck in place, and if she couldn’t find her physical body back, it wouldn’t be long before even Angel would surpass her, right?
Gloria felt nostalgic and also sighed.
Sanders indeed had a keen eye for picking apprentices. Among his three apprentices, one had attained true knowledge, one was a formal wizard, and although the other was still an apprentice, they had already touched the mysterious realm, with talent so strong it was frightening.
Given time, even without Sanders himself, just his apprentices alone could probably stir up the entire Southern Region.
Gloria shook her head and continued flying towards the outskirts of the city.
However, at this moment, a crisp sound of a harp suddenly reached her ears—
