Angel shook his head, slightly embarrassed, and said: “In this recent period, I have been studying the Eye of Nalda, but the progress has not yet reached the minimum standard to open the Eye of Nalda.”
“I’ve also heard about the Eye of Nalda. To make a breakthrough, one must have enough accumulated knowledge.” Sanders paused: “If you need, you can come to my study anytime to read the books.”
Angel nodded, although the alchemy inheritance he obtained was enough to push the Eye of Nalda to a very high level, there was still a time gap in this inheritance.
As time goes on, the world is constantly changing. For example, in the past, going on a journey for 200 miles was considered far, but now, with the emergence of steam trains and large cargo ships, the definition of a long journey can be extended, and even ordinary people can travel to other countries.
If the mortal world changes every day, how much more would the Wizarding World?
Wizards travel across various planes, and almost every period, a large number of new materials are recorded, whether native to the Wizarding World or from other planes. This scale cannot be measured in miles.
The alchemy books Angel collected in Nightfall City were probably compiled ten thousand years ago, or even earlier.
During the nearly ten thousand years, the Wizarding World has discovered countless new materials, many extinct materials are replaced by new ones, and many alchemy and purification techniques are being innovated. So, Angel does not think that possessing alchemy inheritance means he can rest easy.
He still needs to accumulate and deepen his knowledge.
If he only relies on past techniques, his progress will eventually come to a halt. Only by accepting new things and taking the essence of both can he make great strides.
Although many records about alchemy in Sanders’ study are not as profound as Angel’s alchemy inheritance, they contain many recently discovered alchemy materials, which is the part Angel currently lacks.
“The Eye of Nalda is, after all, a third-level spell. Even if you have accumulated enough knowledge, it will take a long journey to construct its model. So you don’t need to worry, just practice step by step,” Sanders added, knowing that Angel learns spells very quickly. Basic spells can be mastered with his innate talent, but slightly more advanced spells are not something that can be learned with talent alone.
“I know,” Angel nodded, understanding Sanders’ meaning, but still wanted to learn the Eye of Nalda as soon as possible. With the increasingly unstable situation in the Southern Wizarding World, only personal strength is the greatest guarantee.
“In addition to the matter of Sleepless City, there is one more thing I need to tell you,” Sanders paused and finally opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with fatigue, but he forced himself to be energetic and said solemnly to Angel: “I will be leaving the Southern Region soon to go to the Abyss. My return date is uncertain, so I will leave the management of Phantom Island to you for the time being.”
Angel hesitated for a moment. When they were in Mechanical City, Sanders had mentioned something similar but hadn’t mentioned the destination. So, it was the Abyss Plane he was going to?
“Lord Sumesh will be back soon, Mentor could actually leave the Phantom Island to him to manage…”
Before Angel could finish, Sanders interrupted him directly: “Flora has her own territory in the Savage Grottoes, do you think Sumesh wouldn’t have one? Don’t worry, although Phantom Island is temporarily handed over to you, most of the things can be left to Goode to handle.”
“I know you’re going home soon, and when that time comes, you can choose to close the island directly. Goode knows what to do with the rest.”
After blocking Angel’s words, Sanders continued: “Actually, these are trivial matters. What I want to talk about is something else.”
Sanders took out a crystal ball from the space and pushed it in front of Angel: “Take a look for yourself.”
As soon as the words fell, a ripple appeared on the surface of the crystal ball, like a circular screen, and a figure appeared in the crystal ball—it was an old, hunched woman.
“Lady Maya?” Angel whispered doubtfully.
The figure in the crystal ball was “Measuring the Stars” Maya, standing on the observatory with a dim gaze, and there seemed to be another person behind her, showing only half an arm.
Was this… Totoro? Although only half of his arm was revealed, Angel had lived with Totoro for almost half a year, and he recognized Totoro just by some features of his hand.
In the scene, Maya whispered: “Although I’m not willing to contact you, Totoro has no way to enter Phantom Island and can only come to me.”
According to Maya, Totoro had been to the Phantom Island? Angel looked up at Sanders.
Sanders just gestured for him to continue watching.
“I don’t care about your affairs,” Maya’s voice was distant and slow. “I’m not here to find you this time, but Totoro has sensed something about your apprentice… Angel.”
Maya: “Someone is going to target Angel. As for who, even Totoro didn’t see, but it should be related to your enemies. That’s all I have to say, and how to deal with it is up to you.”
The scene ended there.
As Angel was still stunned, Sanders said: “You’ve heard it, what do you think?”
Angel pondered silently for a while before saying: “Prophecy is an unknown. Since this unknown has revealed its ferocious fangs, I will try to avoid it, or…break it.”
At Angel’s words, Sanders was the one who hesitated for a moment.
“Interesting.” Sanders suddenly laughed: “Those who want to target you are basically my enemies. You don’t blame me?”
“If they can’t deal with Mentor, they come after me instead. It shows that they’ve already lost in their mindset.”
Angel paused for a moment, recalling that when they were in Sky Mechanical City, Sanders had mentioned something similar, but he hadn’t mentioned the destination at that time, which turned out to be the Abyssal Plane.
Sanders nodded: “Their mentality had already completely collapsed when I stepped on them. However, my enemies are mostly formal wizards, and even if their mentality can’t compare to yours, their strength far surpasses yours. So don’t be careless.”
Sanders was satisfied with Angel’s response and continued: “Among my enemies, there is probably only one wizard organization that would lower their status to deal with you.”
“The Rat Ant Underground Society.”
“To call them a wizard organization is somewhat of an overstatement. They may not even compare to ordinary wizard families,” Sanders said indifferently. “This is a struggling organization made up of wild wizards and wandering wizards. They are infamous for doing nothing but lowly deeds.”
“I once destroyed their organization, but two core wizards escaped. I heard that they have been active recently, constantly boasting about seeking revenge on me, but they never dare to come to my door,” Sanders sneered. “Both of their strengths are average, being first-level wizards. However, they are quite skilled at escaping and hiding, and they even have items to avoid divination spells. So if they really want to deal with you, you must be careful.”
“But I guess that even if they want to deal with you, they won’t come in person at first. I will have someone spread the word that I am going to hunt them down, and when they get the news, they will likely be cautious. As for the other small fry, you should have no problem dealing with them given your strength.”
Angel had heard of the Rat Ant Underground Society before, as many wizard magazines had mentioned this organization. However, it was mostly negative news, as their style was more like that of a dark organization of ordinary people, lacking the demeanor a wizard should have.
Although Angel had heard of them before, he had never come into contact with them. Now they suddenly targeted him, probably because they couldn’t handle Sanders, and Angel ended up suffering as an innocent bystander.
He was somewhat caught off guard, but not afraid. Moreover, he knew that since he had become Sanders’ apprentice, he had to be prepared for the consequences.
Back then, Flora and Sumesh, both got involved because of Sanders, and he was no exception.
However, due to the identity of an alchemist, many people who held a grudge against Sanders decided to wait and see, avoiding making enemies if possible. It was the unscrupulous Rat Ant Underground Society that decided to pick this first fruit.
As he told Sanders, prophecies are not unchangeable facts. Since he already knew about this prophecy, there were many ways to handle it.
He might not be able to deal with wizards, but evading their pursuit shouldn’t be a problem.
Sanders: “As long as you’re aware of the situation, that’s good.”
With the end of this topic, Sanders closed his eyes again. Thinking his mentor wanted him to leave, Angel prepared to say goodbye and depart.
At this moment, Sanders unexpectedly said: “I plan to go to the Nightmare Plane later.”
Angel stopped in her tracks and hesitated before turning back: “Where in the Nightmare Plane are you planning to go, Mentor?”
A Mysterious Object suddenly appeared in Sanders’ hand, a wooden lock filled with the aura of the Nightmare Plane.
“Here,” Sanders said indifferently.
Angel knew the origin of the wooden lock. Not long ago, Sanders had tricked it from Eliza. It was obtained from the Nightmare Plane by an ancient wizard, and it was paired with the book —Dream World Travelogue—.
“Do you plan to go to the mysterious loft mentioned in the book, Mentor?”
According to the records in the —Dream World Travelogue—, there is a mysterious loft in that area, filled with Mysterious Objects inside and out. For example, a mysterious mirror with absolute replication ability, a swing swaying on the River of Destiny, and a box that reveals infinite secrets…
The wooden lock came from that mysterious loft.
“I’m going to check its location to see which area of the Nightmare Plane it is in,” Sanders rubbed his temples: “I hope it’s not too close to the core.”
This is like opening a map!
Seeing Angel’s eager expression, Sanders quickly stopped her: “Don’t even think about going in there. It’s an unknown area, and I’m not sure I can find you right away.”
Even in places like Nightfall City and Witch Town, which Sanders was already familiar with, Angel almost always got into trouble. As for the area where the mysterious loft was located, he couldn’t let Angel go there.
