“Angel?” Flora read doubtfully, then frowned, “How is that possible?”
“Why not?” Spivey raised an eyebrow, “I’ve studied this. Angel was an alchemist who once came into contact with the Mysterious Realm. Even if his current power has not yet reached that of a formal wizard, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to create something big, causing such a commotion.”
What Spivey referred to as “something big” meant high-level alchemical items or strategic alchemical objects.
As soon as Spivey finished speaking, Flora didn’t respond, but Liana laughed with her hand covering her mouth, “I understand what you mean. You’re talking about the Omen Sign of alchemy, right?”
Spivey didn’t know why Liana was laughing, but still nodded.
Liana brushed her hair, “Earlier, you were talking about this and that, and I was really fooled by you, thinking you knew something. But in the end, you still don’t understand anything, do you?”
“What do you mean?” Before Spivey could answer, Flora asked with suspicion. In fact, for a moment, she also wondered if it was the alchemical Omen Sign, because Angel had once produced rolling black clouds that spread for tens of miles.
Liana smiled faintly, “As an alchemist, wouldn’t I be able to sense whether it’s an alchemical Omen Sign or not?”
“So it’s not an alchemical Omen Sign?”
“Of course not. I’ve experienced various alchemical Omen Signs when crafting potions and fragrances. I haven’t sensed the Omen Sign that occurs when a Mysterious Object is born, but some things don’t need to be sensed. By deducing from past experience, you can tell. This is definitely not the Omen Sign of the birth of a Mysterious Object.” Liana laughed, then narrowed her eyes at Spivey, “So, kid, no matter who you are, restrain your restless thoughts. You’re still inexperienced, don’t think you can point out the way just yet.”
Liana’s words made Spivey’s face turn pale.
Flora laughed heartily by her side.
Spivey took a deep breath and nodded, “Thank you for your guidance. I’ll leave now.”
As Spivey left, he faintly heard Liana’s ridicule, “Thinking with your feet, it’s also impossible to have anything to do with Angel.”
When Spivey left, Flora’s laughter subsided, and she said to Liana calmly, “What you said may not be true either. What if it really has something to do with Angel?”
“You think it’s related to Angel too? That’s impossible.”
“There’s no such thing as impossible. Angel can do things that neither you nor I can do. Even if he really caused such a stir, it might not be impossible.” Flora’s eyes were filled with emotions, as if recalling certain events.
Liana frowned, “I still don’t think it’s related to Angel. It’s just too ridiculous.”
Flora hummed softly, even though she actually believed Liana’s words deep down, but after all, both Angel and she were from the Phantom Island lineage, and she could distinguish between close and distant relationships. She could mock and ridicule Angel herself, but when it came to outsiders, that was a different matter.
Meanwhile, several hundred miles southwest of the Rogue Flower Society, on an island filled with fireflies, someone was also watching the rolling black clouds in the sky.
This was Star Island, the residence of Maya, who ‘Measures the Stars.’
“I heard a rumor that those who come to Star Island uninvited will be watched by misfortune,” a man enveloped in darkness stood at one end of the observatory, conversing with Maya, who was sitting on a stone throne at the other end.
The man had no visible substance to his body, like a cracked image, hiding himself in darkness with flames.
“Indeed, there is such a saying. Star Island has been set with some traps, and without guidance, being watched by misfortune is inevitable,” an aged, hoarse voice came from Maya’s mouth. “However, Lord Manji is not included since… you haven’t really come here in person.”
“Hehahaha,” the man in the darkness let out a strange laugh.
“Sure enough, it’s impossible to deceive you, Maya.” With that, the darkness around the man slowly dissipated, revealing the scene inside – a humanoid figure composed of runes, like a simple sketch of a person, without even a facial outline.
Maya’s expression remained unchanged, but the handsome young man standing behind Maya showed curiosity.
Maya glanced back at her beloved disciple, then looked at the peculiar rune figure and said calmly, “It seems that Lord Manji’s Rune Literature inheritance has gained another piece, but you should still be careful of being noticed by the Rampant Wizard.”
Rune Literature? Totoro frowned, pinching his nose bridge; he seemed to have heard of it somewhere.
“The Rampant Wizards noticed me long ago. However, they dare not act rashly.”
Maya smiled faintly, not continuing on the topic, and instead asked, “What brings you here?”
“Don’t you know?” The voice of Manji came from the runeed figure.
“I don’t know,” Maya replied without hesitation.
“You surely know.”
Maya fell silent.
A series of interrogative interactions left White Bear confused. He curiously tapped Totoro’s sleeve and asked with his eyes, “What are they talking about?”
Totoro, however, seemed unconcerned about their conversation, pouting and showing a disinterested expression.
“I just saw you being curious about Rune Literature, and I thought you had changed your mind. But you immediately became indifferent again; your coldness is deeply ingrained,” said White Bear as he couldn’t help but send a telepathic message.
Totoro hadn’t learned the mental link spell yet, so he just glanced at White Bear. He naturally had his reasons for being curious, but what did other matters have to do with him?
Although Maya noticed the two disciples communicating privately, she didn’t interfere. All her attention was locked on Manji.
“If I knew, why would I still be standing here?” said Maya.
Manji remained unhurried, “Don’t tell me you don’t understand the meaning of the Omen Sign in the outside world. I just want to know what caused this Omen Sign? It definitely didn’t come out of nowhere.”
As Manji spoke, Totoro suddenly felt something in his heart, as if he had sensed something.
With a worried expression, he looked in the direction of Phantom Island.
Although Maya didn’t look back, she could feel Totoro’s movement. She sighed softly in her heart: Is it really related to Angel?
Although Maya had an answer in her heart, she still didn’t intend to say it, not only for her beloved disciple but also because she knew clearly what benefits befriending Angel would bring her.
“Chilledin, you’re too impatient,” Maya directly called out Manji’s real name, “Just like you’re obsessed with taking Blackjack as your disciple, what do you want? Do you think others can’t see it?”
Maya continued, “It’s because everyone can see it that no one competes with you.”
“What do you mean?” Manji’s voice gradually became cold.
“I know you’ve figured out the origin of the Omen Sign and that you’re obsessed with the Path of True Knowledge, but why not wait? Wait for the Omen Sign to end, and the truth will surface. If you ask me now, I don’t know either. Because the World Will has descended, everything I sense is chaotic, and you should understand this principle,” Maya said bluntly.
Manji listened to Maya’s words and slowly calmed down: “You really don’t know?”
“I still say the same thing. If I knew, why would I still be standing here? Don’t you think I want to step onto the Path of True Knowledge?”
“That’s right, I’m too impatient. I’ll calm down first,” said Manji, and his figure slowly faded until he completely disappeared from the Star Gazing Platform.
When Manji left, the platform returned to silence.
It wasn’t until then that White Bear spoke up: “Totoro, what did you mean when you glanced at me just now?”
Totoro’s eyes were still fixed on the direction of Phantom Island, and he remained silent for a long time.
Maya gently pulled White Bear back: “Be quiet.”
White Bear hesitated for a moment, looking at the stunned Totoro, his eyebrows furrowed: Did this guy see another scene? The frequency of these prophecies is too high, and most importantly, Totoro doesn’t seem to have suffered any backlash?
For a while, White Bear was puzzled. Was his talent so bad that he couldn’t even beat a newcomer who had just started for a few days?
It took a long time for Totoro to come back to his senses, and he lowered his head in silence.
Maya asked, “What did you see, good or bad?”
Totoro remained silent.
Maya pondered for a moment: “It seems that at least it’s not bad.”
…
The black clouds were still expanding, and the pressure didn’t decrease.
Angel was able to withstand it at first, but as the black clouds grew lower and denser, this powerful aura not only made his heart palpitate, but his legs also began to tremble.
As the thunder roared, a bolt of lightning wriggled in the black clouds, suddenly stopped as if it had discovered something, and fell from the sky, targeting Angel.
Angel immediately realized that the target of the lightning was himself, but he couldn’t move at the moment.
In that instant, Angel even thought about whether to let his soul escape, but just the time it took to chant the Mysterious Soul Whisper, the speed of the lightning was enough to hit him.
Should he withstand the lightning with his physical body?
Angel was uneasy in his heart. Could his current physical quality really withstand the bombardment of heavenly thunder?
Just as Angel was about to brace himself to withstand the lightning, he suddenly felt a pulling force from behind. Before he could react, he was violently pulled back more than ten meters.
The lightning struck the railing of the public balcony, instantly causing the electric snakes to surge, and at the same time, a corner of the balcony showed signs of collapse.
“You really are a handful.”
Sanders emerged from behind Angel, sighing as he approached the edge of the balcony.
At the same time, an old man wearing gray pants, a white shirt, and a coffee-colored plaid vest appeared, walking out from the back door. The old man’s appearance and attire were extremely elegant, with every detail neatly arranged, and his silver hair did not have a single strand sticking out.
“Mentor!” Angel thanked Sanders first, as it was obviously Sanders who had just saved him.
Then, Angel turned his head to the old man and respectfully said, “Lord Rhine.”
