Chapter 684 Rhine's Transformation <TOC> Chapter 686 Birth of Thought
Translator: SumTLMan
Since Gloria went to Rhine Mute, within less than a week, the story of Gloria’s spell creation had spread throughout the Savage Grottoes.
Moreover, someone even wrote an article with accompanying images and sent it to various wizard magazines. Given the speed of information dissemination in the Wizarding World, it was estimated that soon, everyone in the Wizarding World would know about Gloria.
Gloria had also foreseen the development of the situation, and fortunately, when she created the spell, it was with her true knowledge soul instead of Lulu’s. Outsiders didn’t know that her body had been changed, which was a hidden advantage for her.
Apart from the widespread news of Gloria’s spell creation, the matter regarding Angel was also being followed by everyone.
—Angel’s alchemy illusion had actually given Gloria an epiphany!
Although many people found it absurd and somewhat unbelievable, this matter was personally confirmed by Rhine Mute, which meant that it was basically true.
Furthermore, not long after that, Angel’s alchemy personal identification was featured in the official magazine of the Savage Grottoes —Mirror—. The audience of —Mirror— was aimed at all formal wizards in the Savage Grottoes. As an apprentice, Angel’s alchemy identification could be featured in —Mirror—, which undoubtedly had Rhine Mute’s support, so the credibility of the matter increased. Even the wizards who had doubts now truly believed it.
After confirming this matter, many people began to wonder what kind of alchemy illusion had inspired Gloria’s epiphany.
However, Gloria lived in seclusion on Phantom Island, and very few people could actually get in touch with her, let alone experience the effects of the alchemy illusion.
Nevertheless, “very few” did not mean “none”.
One day, Flora brought Liana to Phantom Island. When Liana left Phantom Island, someone asked her if she had experienced Angel’s alchemy illusion. Liana nodded and confirmed it personally, saying that it was an impressive and interesting illusion, and it was not surprising that Gloria had an epiphany.
Even the only alchemist in the Savage Grottoes acknowledged it, so the wizards who still had doubts finally believed that the alchemy illusion had indeed prompted Gloria’s epiphany.
As a result, Angel’s alchemy talent was once again pushed to the forefront.
However, last time it was the apprentices who were enthusiastic about it, and this time it was the wizards who had a common impression of Angel.
It could be said that this time, Angel truly entered the core vision of the Savage Grottoes. Moreover, Angel was an alchemist specializing in enchantment, and the addition of such a skilled talent in the Savage Grottoes was welcomed by all wizards. Thus, among the wizards who grouped together for mutual benefit and took sides, Angel’s presence became a refreshing stream. Everyone was willing to win him over, and their bottom line was to maintain a non-offensive attitude.
Such public opinion was actually orchestrated by Rhine Mute. After all, it was rare for the Savage Grottoes to have such a talented alchemist who had a great chance to become a master alchemist in the future, so he couldn’t be sacrificed in the struggle for interests.
Even Sanders hadn’t expected that Gloria’s trip to Rhine Mute would result in such delightful changes.
Discarding the impetuous information, Sanders clearly saw the role of Lord Rhine in this matter. Angel being valued by Lord Rhine was enough to ensure Angel’s safety in the Savage Grottoes.
Meanwhile, on Star Island, Maya also heard the news about Angel. However, a flicker of doubt crossed her eyes quickly. Could the alchemy illusion really make Gloria have a Sudden Epiphany?
It’s not surprising that others wouldn’t believe it, as there was no precedent. In fact, the concept of alchemy illusion hadn’t even taken shape in the minds of many wizards, since there weren’t many people who could actually create such an illusion.
Maya thought for a moment and sent a message to the River of Destiny, asking for confirmation whether Gloria’s spell creation was related to the alchemy illusion.
She sent many such messages daily, but not all of them received a response from the River of Destiny, depending on her personal luck. The reason why prophecy wizards didn’t need to go out to know everything happening in the world was precisely due to their habit of casting a wide net.
There were many people who sold information in the Wizarding World, and behind them, there was usually the shadow of a prophecy wizard. Otherwise, with the vast territory of the Wizarding World, gathering information from remote corners would require an unimaginable amount of manpower.
This time, Maya was lucky. Not long after she sent the message, feedback from the River of Destiny arrived.
“I didn’t expect it to be true,” Maya said with a surprised expression. Angel’s alchemy illusion had indeed made Gloria have a Sudden Epiphany.
The River of Destiny couldn’t lie, and Gloria didn’t have the power to shake or change the information from the River of Destiny. So, this matter was undoubtedly true.
Maya took a deep breath, and as Totoro had predicted, Gloria’s spell creation was indeed closely related to Angel.
Maya closed her eyes, no longer paying attention to the outside world’s hustle and bustle. Although she was quite curious about the alchemy illusion, she, like most wizards, knew that “Sudden Epiphany” was not something everyone could experience.
Look, Liana had also seen the alchemy illusion and gained nothing.
Even Lord Rhine must have entered the alchemy illusion, and if Lord Rhine couldn’t have a Sudden Epiphany, the chances for others wouldn’t be too great either. “Sudden Epiphany” was still something that depended on the person.
While the news of Gloria’s spell creation and Angel’s alchemy illusion was spreading, on Secret Rune Cliff, a man clenched his fist in anger, crushing the rune pen in his hand.
He was “Manji” Chilledin, a well-known figure in the Savage Grottoes. A wizard who would do anything for his own goals. Being targeted by Chilledin was like being watched by a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, hissing at you. Sinister, sticky, and disgusting.
So, many times, they disliked Chilledin even more than “Microcosmic World” Dulamtin, who dissected live people for experiments.
At this moment, Chilledin was muttering under his breath, “If Gloria really had a Sudden Epiphany through the alchemy illusion, wouldn’t I be… out of luck?”
At present, Chilledin’s biggest goal is to embark on the path of true knowledge, but he has made no progress in years. This time, he guessed that there might be some secret between Gloria and Angel, and he originally planned to “meet” Angel after Sanders left.
However, news suddenly came out that the connection between Angel and Gloria was just an alchemy illusion, and Gloria created the spell through an epiphany, which had little to do with Angel.
How could Chilledin accept this!
Even though he knew in his heart that there was no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world, and the path of true knowledge could not be entered by relying on external forces, he still harbored a glimmer of hope deep down.
But now, he has no hope left!
“Mentor, what’s wrong?” Blackjack, who was drawing runes nearby, was startled by the sound of Chilledin breaking his pen.
Chilledin glanced at Blackjack, hiding a hint of disgust in his eyes for Blackjack’s imitation of Sanders’ attire.
“It’s nothing, just busy yourself.”
After saying this coldly, Chilledin flew away from Secret Rune Cliff.
He wanted to go to Cloud Tower to ask Lord Rhine Mute, but considering the current public opinion in the Savage Grottoes, it must be Lord Rhine Mute behind the scenes stirring things up. If he asked him, the answer probably wouldn’t change.
That’s right, Chilledin still didn’t quite believe it. He had a vague feeling that this matter might not be so simple.
With that in mind, Chilledin decided to look for Maya, who should be able to determine the truth.
However, an hour later, when Chilledin came out of Star Island, his face was extremely pale. He didn’t expect that Maya also confirmed that it was Gloria’s “epiphany.”
What was even more unexpected was that this matter had also gone through the River of Destiny’s authenticity judgment.
In other words, the news from the outside world is true.
Even if Chilledin didn’t believe it, how could he question the judgment of the River of Destiny? Obviously, the facts were indeed like this: Gloria’s creation of the spell was due to an epiphany, which was inspired by Angel’s alchemy illusion.
Chilledin returned to Secret Rune Cliff, and his whole person exuded a cold aura.
“Gloria, epiphany, alchemy illusion…” Chilledin muttered softly, finally stopping at “alchemy illusion.”
“I want to see for myself what kind of alchemy illusion it is that can make Gloria have an epiphany.” A cold light flashed in Chilledin’s eyes, hearing was hearing after all, he wanted to witness the alchemy illusion himself.
However, Phantom Island is not open to the public now, and it’s not easy for him to get in. His relationship with Sanders is not very harmonious, so it might not be easy to get permission for a direct visit.
How about going the Flora route? He didn’t seem to have much connection with Flora.
Or, directly order Angel to craft for him? But Angel hasn’t set foot off Phantom Island for a long time… Even if he really forced the order, he might offend a group of people.
As Chilledin pondered the solution, Blackjack, who had been listening to Chilledin’s mutterings, suddenly said, “Mentor, are you interested in the alchemy illusion?”
Chilledin glanced at Blackjack with an impatient look on his face, “What does it have to do with you?”
Blackjack’s expression changed rapidly. Since he became Chilledin’s disciple, he found that Chilledin didn’t seem to treat him as a real disciple, especially after obtaining his Rune Literature heritage, his attitude became very cold.
This made Blackjack gradually realize the reality, but even if he knew Chilledin’s thoughts, he had no power to change them now, because the gap between them was too great.
Blackjack lowered his head, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
Of course, Chilledin saw Blackjack’s hatred, but so what? If you know that an ant hates you, what would be your reaction?
Blackjack withdrew, but as he closed the door, he whispered, “I heard from a former underling that Angel has an alchemy illusion that will be auctioned at the Ancient River Beach during the Month of Cold.”
After Blackjack finished speaking, he left Secret Rune Cliff.
Chilledin fell into deep thought because of Blackjack’s words, and muttered softly: An auction at the Ancient River Beach?
