Chapter 684 - Public Opinion
Within a week, news about Greya’s success was known by everyone inside Brute Cavern.
Many people took the films they captured to magazine offices. Without a doubt, Greya’s deed would soon get acknowledged in the entire wizarding world.
Thankfully, Greya presented her soul in front of the onlookers on that day, so people did not know she had lost her body.
Apart from Greya, gossipers were also interested in the fact that Angor’s illusion assisted Greya with her challenge. At first, most people regarded it as a mere joke, but they all changed their minds when Rein Mute spoke to the public and confirmed it.
Somehow, Angor’s “alchemy trademark” began to show up on the official magazine published by Brute Cavern—The Mirror—which was usually intended for wizards in the organization. People all realized that it had to be Rein who added Angor’s information to the magazine, which further proved to them that the information regarding Angor’s illusion was real.
Since then, people were always wondering what kind of amazing illusion provided Greya with such great help. However, Greya always stayed at Phantom Island, so no one could visit her, let alone borrowing her brooch.
But there were exceptions.
One day, someone saw Flora and Leona entering Phantom Island together. Later, people went to Leona to ask whether she saw Angor’s illusion, and Leona admitted without a second thought. She also claimed that “no wonder Greya gained so much inspiration from it”.
Blackjack heard Shildeen’s mumble and suddenly spoke up, “Are you interested in that rumored alchemy illusion, professor?”
Shildeen gave him an impatient stare. “None of your fu*king business.”
Blackjack frowned. Ever since he came to Shildeen, he noticed that this man never took him as a real student, especially after he offered his art of inscription to pay for his tuition.
Blackjack more or less knew what was going on. However, he had no hope of changing his fate now—he was nothing compared to a mighty wizard like Shildeen.
He lowered his head so that Shildeen did not see the gleam of hatred in his eyes.
Of course, Shildeen was fully aware of Blackjack’s thoughts, but he just didn’t care—it was a waste of time to mind the grudge of an insect.
Blackjack decided to back away for now. Before leaving the room, he said, “I received info that Angor will sell a new alchemy illusion item at Remnant Coast during the Month of Looming Frost.”
He then closed the door and left Graver’s Cliff.
Shildeen held his chin and mulled over Blackjack’s hint.
“The auction at Remnant Coast? Well well…”
