Chapter 594 Morrow's Task <TOC> Chapter 596 The Parasites Reappear
Translator: SumTLMan
If given the choice, Morrow would certainly prefer to pair Alana and Angel together, as long as it worked out and Angel was willing.
Morrow noticed that Angel was deliberately changing the subject. However, since Alan was mentioned, Morrow was quite curious about his news and complied with Angel’s intentions, stopping the topic about Alana.
It had been a long time since Morrow had received news about Alan, and as he listened to Angel’s description, Alan’s image became more and more vivid, with affection brewing in his eyes.
When he learned that Alan had also survived the Purification Garden, a hint of surprise flashed in Morrow’s eyes.
No matter how Alan managed to survive in the Purification Garden, as long as he was alive, his chances of advancing to a formal wizard would greatly increase!
As long as Alan became a formal wizard, his status at the White Coral Floating Island Academy would be greatly overturned. Combined with the food made by the Gourmet Wizard, Morrow even felt that perhaps he himself might have a chance to become a formal wizard…
Just as Morrow was daydreaming, a female voice suddenly came into his heart, pouring a bucket of cold water on his beautiful dream.
“Morrow, I see that you two are chatting quite passionately. If there is a chance, you can also invite him to the White Coral Floating Island Academy… Our academy has been lacking a guest alchemy teacher for many years.”
Herolin’s words were directly imprinted in Morrow’s heart.
Morrow immediately put away his irrelevant reverie, hesitated for a moment, and communicated with Herolin: “Madam, I will do my best. However, at the moment, I still want to focus on maintaining and repairing our relationship.”
Herolin snorted coldly: “You make your own decision, but you must remember that the friendship of an alchemy master is both beneficial to you and without any harm to the academy.”
Herolin did not communicate any further, but Morrow breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Just by maintaining his relationship with Angel, he should have achieved that today, right? Next, he would continually work on increasing his favorability and presence.
“Is Professor Angelo from the White Coral Floating Island Academy?” Angel was originally talking about Alan, but seeing Morrow somewhat distracted, he stopped and asked Sanders through the mental link.
Far away, Sanders raised his head, his gray-green curly hair peeking out from the edge of his black top hat, and a faint smile was drawn by the shadow on his face: “Indeed, it seems that your little old friend told you quite a bit.”
It took Angel a while to understand that Sanders was referring to Morrow as his little old friend.
He briefly mentioned Morrow’s identity: “If it hadn’t been for Morrow’s help back then, I wouldn’t have embarked on the path of a wizard. I’m very grateful to him.”
“It’s just a matter of exchanging interests. The ‘Morning Dew After Rain’ that you mentioned is enough to offset the Healing Ice Coffin Scroll and the ticket for the Bohemia Ship,” Sanders said indifferently.
Angel didn’t object, as he understood that it was an exchange of interests. However, when he was still a mortal, Morrow was already an experienced transcendent. With his power at that time, he could have destroyed the entire Pat Manor with one finger and obtained all the Morning Dew After Rain, but he didn’t. Instead, he chose to trade with them, giving Jon a chance to survive and introducing him to the world of wizards.
The more Angel understood the laws of the Wizarding World, the more he felt that Morrow’s approach was generous.
Since Morrow had used a favor as a bargaining chip, Angel was also willing to repay this favor, rather than simply seeing it as an exchange of interests.
“Professor Angelo is from the White Coral Floating Island Academy, so…” Angel glanced at the woman shrouded in a water curtain out of the corner of his eye. Although it was just a glimpse, he felt that she was still watching him.
“Is she Lady Herolin, the ‘Eel Woman’?” Angel wondered inwardly.
He had seen Herolin at Gloria’s Barbie Restaurant before. However, as a mortal among a group of wizards, Angel didn’t dare to look up, and his impression of Herolin was limited to her long, blue hair.
Although she was behind the water curtain, the blue hair behind it could be faintly seen.
Angel asked this question through the mental connection to Sanders.
Sanders gave a positive response and teased: “She’s been staring at you since she saw you, and you’re just recognizing her now…”
Sanders was pleased with his words. At Barbie Restaurant, he had snatched Angel from Herolin’s hands. Herolin’s jealous tone and her expression of wanting to devour him made Sanders feel very happy.
Now that he knew the woman behind the water curtain was Herolin from the White Coral Floating Island Academy, Angel understood why her gaze was filled with mixed emotions…
However, Angel didn’t understand what Sanders had to be proud of.
At this moment, there was a commotion near the Illusionary Sandbox Spell. Angel looked back and saw that everyone was gathered around Professor Angelo.
“The result is out!” A whispered voice came.
“Who can understand this? What kind of language is this?” On Professor Angelo’s parchment, there were a bunch of inexplicable symbols that left everyone confused.
“This is not a language; it’s the symbols corresponding to the Strings of the World.” “Whatever the symbols are, I just want to know what this result is?”
Everyone’s eyes were on Angelo.
Angelo let out a heavy breath, putting down the quill pen soaked in blood ink, and looked at Douglas with a serious face: “Lord Radiant, the result is out, but…”
From the moment Douglas saw Angelo’s face, he felt an uneasiness in his heart. As expected, Angelo hesitated to speak further.
“What do you mean, ‘but’? Just speak up, we don’t have the style of your academy here. Even if it’s terrible, I don’t believe it can completely ruin Sleepless City,” Quete retorted coldly, his white beard covered in his spittle.
“Quete, let Professor Angelo speak,” Douglas scolded, his face solemn.
Angelo shook his head with a distressed expression: “The result is not promising.”
“Not promising? I could have guessed that. The day that Dark Domain appeared, the overall interests of Sleepless City were already greatly damaged,” Douglas sighed. “I just want to know if there is more detailed information?”
Angelo: “Lord Radiant may have misunderstood. What you’re referring to is the immediate gain or loss, whereas my rune divination is about the long-term impact of the Dark Domain on Sleepless City.”
“According to the divination, this Dark Domain has no good impact on Sleepless City, only bad. The damage you see now is only a part of what’s revealed on the surface; it will get worse in the future.”
Seeing that everyone still seemed to not understand, Angelo shook his head and said: “In other words, as long as you don’t abandon Sleepless City’s outer city, it will never get better.”
Angelo’s statement was undoubtedly heavy.
“You mean, this Dark Domain cannot be removed?” Quete exclaimed.
Angelo waved his hand: “I don’t know if it will exist forever, but I can say that it is extremely dangerous.”
As Angelo spoke, he suddenly flipped over the parchment on the wooden board, dabbed a drop of blood from his fingertip, and pressed it directly onto the back of the parchment. Countless words, symbols, and arcs of light were attracted to the blood, wriggling like tadpoles, eventually gathering at the center of the blood.
Then the blood dispersed, forming a row of words.
—’It will become the source of darkness and a dangerous lair.’
After completing this, Angelo casually cast a cleansing spell to evaporate the sweat on his body. Then he pushed up his glasses and looked at the expressionless Douglas: “The result of the rune divination is as such, if Lord Radiant wishes to know more, I am unable to help.”
Then Angelo looked at the silent Quete: “Lord Quete, if you have any objections to my divination, you can also invite a prophecy wizard from the Crown Star Church in the Shining Plane. However, with so many wizard organizations here this time, why didn’t the Crown Star Church send anyone? Don’t you find it strange?”
Finally, Angelo looked at Herolin in the water curtain: “Herolin, I think it’s better for us to leave here for the future of the academy. No matter what decision you make, I will leave tonight.”
With that said, Angelo turned to leave.
“Wait a moment—”
Angelo stopped, the one who called him to a halt was Sanders. Even though he wanted to leave now, faced with the famous killer of the Southern Region, he still didn’t dare to act rashly and stood respectfully to the side.
“From what you’re saying, will the Dark Domain stick here like a chronic disease and not leave?” Sanders asked.
Angelo shook his head: “I’m not sure, that sentence may have this meaning, or maybe not.”
“Will the Dark Domain continue to spread?” Sanders asked again.
Angelo still shook his head: “I don’t know, but the possibility is not great.”
“Do you have any guesses about the Mysterious Object inside?” Sanders asked for the third time.
Angelo was silent for a long time, but still shook his head: “The Strings of the World seem to deliberately avoid that place. It might be due to different laws inside. If I can get more information, I might be able to deduce more.”
Different laws? Douglas’s eyes suddenly narrowed: “Different laws, could it be the laws that do not apply to the Wizarding World? Inside, could there really be a spatial passage connecting to another world, as the Phantom Master said?”
“Cough, we can’t manage that. If that’s really the case, it should be handed over to the Frost Moon Alliance or the Extreme Sect to handle,” Quete interjected with a hint of guilt: “Even if it’s a spatial passage, the World Will would self-repair.”
Angelo glanced at Quete with a hint of doubt in his eyes. However, he didn’t point it out, but said to Douglas: “I’m not sure either, but what Lord Quete said is correct. If the Lord Radiant has any abnormalities, you can ask the Frost Moon Alliance to come. I remember Lady Sineva was recently in Mechanical City.”
After that, Angelo turned and left.
With both Angelo and Herolin gone, Morrow had no reason to stay.
He hastily bade farewell to Angel, leaving a message: “If you have time, please come to visit the White Coral Floating Island Academy,” before leaving the Magic Hut as well.
Due to Angelo’s words, the wizards in the hut had fallen into an argument. No one could decide what to do next.
There was a Mysterious Object, and they were unwilling to leave.
But not leaving, Angelo’s words were also heavy, and everyone’s heart was somewhat apprehensive.
Douglas had been silent all along, as if making some decision.
At this moment, Sanders suddenly sent a mental message: “I want to go in and take a look.”
