Chapter 807 - Improved Affinity
Flunza saw the unconcealed hint of greed from Jebra’s eyes.
“Are you sure you can waste him without leaving loose ends? I can only provide limited help from afar, you mostly have to depend on yourself.”
Jebra frowned and weighed the situation.
“I don’t know, sir.”
“Then trust me, you’ll fail. From what I’ve heard, both Angor and that bird of his have grasped the sequence of gravity. If he insists on escaping, I’m afraid even wizards won’t be able to catch him easily. Let’s see… There’s no point turning him into our enemy for the moment. You just proceed as how you have been doing until now, and while at it, try to obtain that item. Of course, if you see a chance to take it forcefully, don’t hesitate to use it.”
“Um, I still have to follow him around, professor? As I said, he can’t possibly be—”
“The incident at Silver Palm Isle has not come to an end yet,” Flunza interrupted Jebra’s explanation. “Emmagan has figured out our plan to expel his foreign plane invaders from the organization, and he absolutely will prevent us from getting that Mystery item by all means. You’ll be in great trouble if you return to Song of the Deep at such a moment.”
Jebra nodded in acknowledgment. The spies back at Song of the Deep, who were led by Emmagan, always wanted him dead because of his great potential and likelihood of becoming a truth-finder, by which time he and his professor would be a giant threat to them. If they saw a chance to eliminate such a threat in the making, they’d do it.
“Hey, Mister Padt, can I go with you into the illusion next time?”
“Changed your mind so soon?”
Tulu scratched his head in embarrassment and raised a hand. He then took a moment to painfully gather strength, before some faint vapor came swirling around his fingers.
“I think I know how to control water now, Mister Padt.” Tulu smiled brightly. “It must be that illusion that helped me, right?”
Angor slowly nodded, amazed.
He totally wasn’t expecting Tulu, who had only partially studied a channeling method and had yet to be considered a fresh apprentice, to learn about wielding the water element so early.
“So people with the right talent may receive the boost even faster…” Angor left another entry in his notebook.
As for Tulu, he was truly upset about what he said in all seriousness two days ago.
“I’m done with the initial experiment. I’m not going to activate the illusion any time soon,” Angor said as he put the Ocean Tuner into his bracelet, much to Tulu’s disappointment.
Of course, he didn’t do this just to annoy Tulu. He did need to do something else next, which was to see how fast he could study water-based cantrips after experiencing the illusion for so many times.
