Warlock Apprentice

With the first surface determined, Angor decided to keep going and began meditating again.

After creating this surface, Angor’s mind space was no longer completely dark. Now, a shining surface resided inside his mind. The surface appeared to be abstract. Angor could freely control his spirit power to travel through the surface as if it was not there, but on the other hand, Angor could feel the presence of the surface.

The surface was constructed using a special technique from Singularity Dispersive Meditation . As long as Angor did not give up first, the surface would always be there. This simple structure had given Angor’s mind space a base point to locate other coordinates.

This single surface was calculated out by using countless data. Once another surface came into being, either parallel to this one or not, it would bring more data into existence.

This is how the thirty-six-dimensional space coordinate system localization method worked its unique wonder.

Without taking further rest, Angor immediately began calculating the second surface.

Seven surfaces and thirty-six sections were built with increasing difficulty. To figure out the three coordinates for the second surface, Angor had to do many more calculations than before.

“Aw, apprentice town is such a nice place. I want to live here too. I’ll get a place near Angor!” Sailum encouraged himself in his mind.

Angor returned soon. He handed a booklet, which was pretty thin, to Balba.

Balba sighed in relief when taking the book. He saw many talents working hard these days, especially someone like Orlando who already made much progress. Balba did not show it, but deep inside, he was really worried. It was a pity that he did not get to see Flora. However, getting the channeling method was still worth the trip.

“Thank you,” said Balba as he bowed politely. “I’ll keep my words. Anything, just ask, and I’ll repay you.”

Angor looked at Balba’s serious attitude. He then thought about the man’s sad destiny and sighed helplessly. Angor wanted to say something like “don’t mention it”. However, considering Balba, the man probably would not let it go like that. Favor debts were usually difficult to pay back, and Angor clearly knew it. He decided to accept Balba’s offer for now.

After considering for a moment, Angor finally said, “Let’s see. Sailum and Nausica aren’t really safe when living underground. You’re strong, so you can protect them, as long as it doesn’t get out of your hand.”

That did not sound too hard. Balba nodded and agreed without a second thought.

After this, Balba remained silent. Angor did not know what to talk about as well. They stared at each other in embarrassment.

Angor looked at Sailum and noticed that the boy was not paying attention to him and Balba at all. Sailum seemed to be thinking about something else.

Also, the boy was smiling widely, as if he had something fun that he really wanted to tell others. Only that he did not know how to divert the topic.

Angor chuckled in his mind and approached the boy to ask, “Sailum, you already found your spirit power, right?”

Sailum looked really surprised and asked, “How did you figure that out?”

Angor pointed at his face. “Come on. It’s all written up here.”

Sailum scratched his hair as he replied, “Oh, hehe… I just broke through this afternoon. Oh, right. Miss Nausica succeeded in calming her mind too. She hasn’t found her spirit power yet, but she can already remove all distractions in her head, and she’ll find the power sooner or later. She told me to thank you for helping her. You’re amazing! You not only found your spirit power earlier than any of us, but you can also even help others with it!”

Balba, who heard about how Nausica had succeeded in finding spirit power too, could not hold back his urge anymore. The man sat under the oil lamp and began reading his book right away.

The first page of the book presented him with rows of clean, neatly-written universal characters. No showy expressions, no ornamental penmanship to appeal to people. The characters appeared like squares, organized in a fine manner.

“Lady Flora wrote these? They look… special,” Balba mumbled.

While he was reading the channeling method, Sailum and Angor talked about Orlando.

“I asked. Orlando is now a Level-1 Apprentice. He went ahead of us when we didn’t notice,” said Sailum. He looked a bit jealous.

“Maybe he has a reason to push him forward,” Angor wondered.

After exchanging information about their training, Sailum and Balba left the apprentice town.

Angor no longer wanted to rest now. He stood under the mistletoe tree to mourn his spilled milk for a second before returning to the soundproof room to keep working on the third surface.
