Warlock Apprentice

Wizards all set their visions toward the future. They did not falter around the past.

Even if it was something worth mentioning for the rest of his life, a wizard who did something memorable would only keep it in a corner of his memory instead of using it as a constant chat-topic.

During their talk, Angor learned something about what happened when he was out cold, such as the last item on the auction.

“Twilight Auction received a Mystery Item and put it up as the final?” Angor imagined what miracle he missed out after hearing Dave’s explanation.

The word “Mystery” was something to help wizards seek the unknown and pursue truth. The word alone already meant something extremely valuable in the world of wizards.

And Angor, as an alchemist, certainly wished to witness something that only existed in legends.

“I wonder what it looked like… What’s the difference between Mystery Items and alchemy ones?”

But he did not find another Mystery Item.

He did some more experiment on the bodies of the fish, which yielded nothing.

In the end, the silver fish tribe became extinct in his hands while he only obtained that one Mystery Item in the shape of a castle.

Previously, Angor only regarded the story as a “story”. He did not believe someone would watch fish building houses for ten years.

But he found it similar when he heard about the poorly-made cloth doll.

Perhaps it was poorly made in the views of humans. To the fishes, however, the houses they built were great treasures.

With no particular process, the simple castle became a “Mystery Item”.

A doll too simple to be a child’s toy became a Mystery Item called the Cursing Puppet.

They had the same ring to them.

“Maybe the appearance of a Mystery Item is triggered by strong emotions or desire?” Prome offered an opinion after listening to Angor.

Angor shook his head. “I’m not sure. The story is not validated anyway. But I do know alchemists can create such items. I have no idea how though.”

“Mortals-wait, even fishes can produce Mystery Items? Such… mystery.” Dave was lost in thought. He then said, “Now I really want to know more about them. Maybe I can accidentally create one, and I’ll be beyond rich!”

“Thirty years ago, the Floating Mech City sold a Mystery Item called ‘Whelk of The Dreaming Coast’. It can put all non-lifeforms into dreams regardless of their levels. Due to such a useless effect, the item was only sold at ten thousand crystals. So don’t get too worked up. Not every Mystery Item is valuable,” Prome commented.

Put non-lifeforms into dreams?? Angor was surprised. Can randoms objects have dreams too?

“Practice what you learned. There are cases where a tiered alchemy item sold for more than seven million,” said Prome as he patted Dave’s shoulder.

“You must mean those high-tiered ones, Master. There are even better ones called tactical deployments, which are priceless. I wouldn’t care about Mystery or whatnot if I can make something like that,” said Dave as he pouted.

They chuckled and decided to end the topic.

Angor suddenly remembered seeing Lydia talking to Sunders in a strange way, so he decided to ask Prome about it.

“Who is ‘Lady Lotus’ who was inside Chamber 1 today? Why’s everyone afraid of her?”

“Lady Lydia, you mean? She is-”

Before Prome could say much else, a tiny head poked out from the corner of the stairway.

“Lady Lotus is now at Midnight Sovereign??”
