Warlock Apprentice

After admiring his Gondola, Angor divided it into two parts and put them inside his bracelet. It was not the time nor the place to give the boat a “test drive”.

Since his desire to continue with alchemy work was still high, he decided to work on Greya’s item right away.

Greya had two requirements for this one. One, Toby had to be the “theme” of the illusion. And secondly, she had to be able to interact with the bird in basic ways.

A simple illusion like the room designed for Flowey would do a similar trick. However, Greya’s illusion would have to be portable instead of fixed to one place, which meant he would have to make an actual item for it.

The first step was to design the shape of the item.

Of course, he could make another music box like Journey in Heaven. But since he already showed the music box to Greya before, Angor found it to be a little improper… even if Greya didn’t mind it.

He decided to make something new.

“Not only the future…” Baroque looked tired as if he suddenly gained several years of age. “Samantha… I should’ve known… He will repay his debt to Samantha. I thought he would use Sunders, not Thousand Spirit Garden…”

“Take it easy. There are always other ways to break through,” Melantha said as she tried to comfort him.

Baroque shook his head in defeat but didn’t say anything.

Melantha bowed to Baroque and turned to the door.

“So, are you going back to Floating Mech City?” Baroque asked before the woman left.

“Yes. It is time.”

“Speaking of other ways… The purification garden is one, and the souls of elite apprentices… might taste good.”

Melantha only smiled back. Everyone and everywhere was the same when it came to personal gain. Brute Cavern and Floating Mech City were no exceptions.

…

In Tree Spirit Plaza, a witch who was constantly carrying a beautiful aura like a rose stepped toward Flora.

‘Rose Crown’ Leona, the only professional alchemist in Brute Cavern. She studied Perfume Brewing, a special subfield of Apothecary. And wherever she went, people could smell perfume around her.

Witches were rare in Brute Cavern. She was a good friend of Flora. At the same time, they kept competing with each other over different matters.

“Ugh. You instantly remind me of someone with all that smell.” Flora wrinkled her nose.

“Angor, is it?” Leona sighed. “Thanks to your introduction, I earned a huge sum. Trust me, I would have given you a good share… if Mister Phantom didn’t get to me first.”

She secretly glanced at Sunders and found no response from the gentleman. Sunders wasn’t even looking her way.

Leona pointed at Sunders and rolled her eyes at Flora.

Flora couldn’t hold back chuckling.

Leona made a duck-face and whispered to Flora’s ears, “So Mister Phantom really cares about Angor? He asked me to give the boy alchemy lessons. Hundreds of hours of sessions!”

“Well, I heard Angor’s pretty talented at alchemy.” Flora shrugged.

“Two alchemy omens, right? I know them.” Leona didn’t seem impressed since she often created such omens during her career. “Guess I have to listen to Mister Phantom now.”

Leona said that one out loud in order to embarrass Sunders. But again, Sunders paid her no attention.

“By the way, I came back from Manda Plane just to send invitations to those disgraceful students of mine so that they can go to the purification garden. You have a student too, no? How is he? Did you give him an invitation yet?”

Flora humphed. “You heard of him before, right? That half-blood from a foreign plane. Invitation? Oh, come on. I’m not so generous.”

Flora moved closer to Sunders next. “Hey, professor, do you think Angor will go to the purification garden this time?”
