Warlock Apprentice

“Stay here. When we begin to build the Sorcerer’s Garden, there will be greyspace microbes coming off. Use your magic container bottle to collect them. They are essential materials to craft stable alchemy storage, so try to get as much as can,” said Sunders. Then, he ordered the strange creatures beside him to go into the designated area before leaping into the air.

Sunders took out a pipette from his button and began releasing mana from his body. In his view, an octahedral shape slowly came into being and covered the area.

Next, Sunders removed a single drop of the mysterious liquid from the pipette—a fragment of eternity—and used a strange alchemy technique, combined with some spells, to pour the liquid into the indistinct octahedral model.

“I’m starting. Gather greyspace microbes,” Sunders ordered the Phantom Servants around the area. Following the lead of Butler Goode, the servants quickly took positions around the designated location.

In the air, Sunders watched with a smile as Angor held his container bottle in a serious manner. He then sent the boy a message.

“You’re in luck, choosing such a time to visit. Considering the rule of wizards, I wouldn’t have allowed you here without receiving something from you. But I’ll make an exception this time. Or, let’s consider this a payment for your Section Ephemera. However, you’re on your own when collecting the microbes.”

In the alchemy books he briefly read before, Angor knew that as they were the main material in the crafting process of space storage items, greyspace microbes were always an expensive resource. Plus, Sunders told him that he could collect as much as possible without worrying about payback, so Angor decided to give it his all. It was a free resource, so why not?

This was an extremely plain method, but it held a better reputation among all the ordinary channeling methods. At the very least, it was better than Triangle Channeling which was the one Alan and Aleen were studying.

It only took Angor half an hour to finish a copy.

He looked at the book and decided to add some extra lines to it. The lines were about some of the training tricks he concluded during his own training. They were really superficial advice, but still, Angor realized them on his own. As for the special techniques left on Singularity Dispersive Meditation by Sunders, Angor would never dare to tell others about them.

With that finished, Angor acted fast and left his house with an umbrella to shield himself from the rain.

When inside the caves, Angor suddenly realized that he did not know where Balba’s room was. When talking to him, Angor was on his way to visit Sailum, and he forgot to ask Balba where he lived.

The underground paths were chaotic, connecting more than ten thousand rooms, so there was no way Angor could look through them one by one. Besides, there were other apprentice wizards down here. Who knew what would happen if he barged in an apprentice’s room when the apprentice was meditating?

Angor had no choice but to go to Sailum. He could ask the boy to see if he had any idea.

If Sailum did not know… then it could not be helped. Balba had to wait longer.

Sailum was meditating when Angor came. Angor felt a bit embarrassed for interrupting Sailum’s training, but the boy did not mind. Sailum carefully placed his book back into his pouch and greeted Angor with a bright smile.

Upon hearing Angor’s reason for coming here, Sailum shook his head and said, “I don’t know where Balba is.”

After pausing a little, Sailum spoke again, “But I know where Orlando is. After we settled in, that guy came to bother every single talent living here, so he should know where most talents are.”

“Orlando?” Angor recalled the image of a young man with a self-centered character who was always wearing a black and white striped cotton hat.

“Yeah, he was separated from his friend, Roffig. At first, he cried every day and came to the rooms of every talent at the excuse of letting people hear his trouble. But we all know he was only harassing people,” said Sailum. He remembered his own encounter with Orlando and revealed a frustrated look as he said, “The guy wanted to find you as well. But we didn’t tell him where your room is.

“But it’s better now. After everyone began their own training, he tried to bother people again and received a good beating from it. Now he didn’t do it as much.”

“He’s separated from Roffig?” Angor also recalled Orlando’s close friend. Did they argue or fight among themselves?

“He is. No one knows what happened. Roffig never came down here, he was arranged to stay outside the mirror world. So, are you going to ask Orlando? I’m not sure if he knows Balba’s room since Balba’s a little… I doubt Orlando is bold enough to harass someone like that.”

Angor nodded. He then said, “I’ll check him out since I’m already here. Can you show me the way, please?”
