Chapter 450 - “Eventide” Kanter
Pride accepted the coverless sample book made from cheap papers. For official releases, they would use parchments crafted from a monster goat as it would remain in perfect condition for tens of thousands of years. They would then use Perpetual Rune to keep dampness and worms away to further increase the quality period of the magazines.
Pride opened the book to read carefully. He had already read the selected articles before, but he still needed to modify the final composing and style arrangements.
He put the sample down a moment later.
“So how about it? I think it’s pretty good already,” Jolene asked.
“I can see the decency. Especially these two. Whoever wrote them knew how to tickle the hearts of readers.”
Jolene looked at where Pride was pointing at.

“No. He’s far from it.”
What Angor did during Twilight Auction, which almost brought a world-ending monster to the southern wizarding world, could hardly be considered “trouble-free”. Even someone like Sunders, who usually acted all calm and patiently, was startled for good.
He had to deal with Angor’s incident by wasting a lot of precious materials, and he actually helped the kid a lot by giving him a small piece of Nightmare Domain in the end.
Sunders sighed in frustration when thinking about this. That kid still owes me money for it.
Kanter grew interested when he saw his old friend looking so distressed. “Now I REALLY want to see the kid with my own eyes.”
Sunders didn’t answer this time. He didn’t know whether Angor could make it to Floating Mech City for real. He chose to believe in Angor since a prophet told him so.
Unless something else happened to the boy after the prophecy was done.
The officials of Floating Mech City had made it clear that unexpected elements appeared in the purification garden. The change in plan was actually something good for wizards. However, it might not be good for apprentices who planned to enter the garden soon.
“So, what’s your opinion?” Sunders asked while walking out of the tower with his friend.
“Floating Mech City has taken ten positions for their own candidates… It means the other apprentices will have to fight for their chances.”
“Frankly speaking, I don’t think these preparations will work. Do you believe they can decide who will seize the opportunities once they are inside the garden?” Sunders grinned devilishly.
The outside of the tower was full of curious apprentices, but they instantly quieted down when they saw Sunders coming out.
“They are being too soft to their students.” Sunders frowned at the unorganized crowds.
“Well, those people are only interested in alchemy. They don’t have much time to lecture their followers,” Kanter said and flew away.
Just as Sunders prepared to leave, he saw a bright image from within the crowd below.
