Warlock Apprentice

After seeing Dave off, Angor fell into his own thoughts.

“Shameless fools will use scrolls in every match,” Angor thought about Dave’s words.

Shameless? If he had that kind of money, Angor would not mind turning into a “shameless fool” right away, which… he could not.

But Dave mentioned something else that Angor was interested in. The Sky Tower did not have any restrictions on how to defeat your opponent.

No restrictions… that meant there were a lot of viable ways to win the matches. Poisoning someone before a match, or buying someone off, were all acceptable means. But they could not guarantee a final victory. Spamming magic scrolls, on the other hand, was safer. Yet scrolls were expensive. Angor tried to figure out whether there was something else that could do the trick in place of scrolls.

This was a good line of thinking.

After lunchtime, Dave delivered three Echo Flowers to Angor’s place. Without tarrying, Angor placed the flowers to the attic and left them in Toby’s care right away.

The countdown on the hologram tablet was now: 0 hour, 1 minute, 31 seconds.

Angor locked up the door to the basement as well as the soundproof room door and waited for the countdown to finish.

When the countdown reached zero, Angor was so tensed that he grabbed his toes with great force.

[Calculation completed. Optimal coordinate data is as follows:…]

Angor felt great joy upon seeing the twelve coordinates on the display. It only took him less than four months to acquire such results when wizards usually spent more than a decade! He did not work out the results by himself. But so what? They would help him build a perfect model in the end, so the process did not matter.

Angor felt too excited. Instead of starting his training right away, he chose to hunker down to calm himself before slicing up the remaining four surfaces.

Although calming himself in such a situation was not easy. As he tried to suppress his joy, it only grew stronger.

Angor simply gave up. He opened the “entertainment” folder in the tablet and looked for “music”, hoping to distract himself by enjoying some melody.

He never looked at the music folder before. His knowledge about Earth music only lied in several children’s songs Jon used to sing to him. But the man was really bad at this, so Angor never managed to enjoy music from Jon.

Angor was quite eager to see what kind of music the Earth had to offer. After receiving the tablet, he had not gotten any chance to play music on The Redbud or on the cloud whale.

And this was the first time he tried it out.

There were a lot of sub-folders in the music folder either for music from different countries on Earth or for other classifications.

Angor only wished to get some distraction, so he did not care what kind of music to pick. He chose a random folder and the title of a song drew his attention.

City of Sky.

It reminded him of the Floating Mech City.

Without further ado, Angor tapped the play button.

The prelude of the song sounded like a stringed instrument, gentle and distant. But it was not plucking-action, so there was nothing too harsh. Angor used to listen to the harp songs played by traveling bards. Those sounded good too. However, they often created sharp noises that irritated his eardrums. Probably because the bards were not famous musicians.

Angor was really satisfied with the prelude of the music.

The interlude brought a beautiful piano melody combined with a slow and delicate string. Angor’s eyes brightened up with the development of the melody. The music piece knew how to seize the hearts of its audiences as if it had magic. There were no strong emotions in the music, only a soft trend of a flowing river dipping at people’s minds.

Angor closed his eyes to enjoy the peaceful music. As the song proceeded, he could see the image of a giant city among the misty clouds in the blue sky.

When the song ended, Angor slowly opened his eyes.

It sounded so beautiful. Using his own sense of art, Angor would totally consider the song among the works of master musicians. It was such a pity that he could not watch anyone play the song in reality.

After going over his train of thought, Angor was quite shocked to find out that his excitement had quieted down.

“That’s a pleasant surprise.” The God-given masterpiece helped him achieve his original goal.

Since he was ready, Angor did not intend to wait any longer. He closed his eyes again and proceeded with his training.

This time, he was going to open up all 36 sections in one attempt!
