Chapter 1268: Friends' Recent Situation

Angel could no longer hear the conversation between Baroque and his apprentice. He had boarded the cable car and had already slowly left the Sky Tower. Even if he had heard it, he probably wouldn't have thought much of it. Baroque had once used a knife to harm him. Even if it wasn't a life-and-death hatred, it couldn't be easily resolved.

There was silence in the cable car.

David also wanted to ask Angel what happened to the old man with the pigtail. But looking at Angel's expression, he didn't seem to have the desire to talk, so he didn't speak.

The silent atmosphere lasted until he left the cable car.

David felt that it was too solemn to continue like this. After thinking for a while, he broke the silence first: "By the way, Salum came back a few days ago."

Angel was stunned. After such a long absence, he got the news from his friend, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Salum is back? He is really back?"

After confirming this answer, Angel said hesitantly: "Then, is he... is he okay?"

Since Salum went out to merge the blue blood, it has been several years since we last saw each other. Nausicaa would at least send letters back when she went out, but Salum seemed to have completely disappeared.

In the middle of the night, Angel even guessed that Salum might have encountered an accident. Although he has never wanted to face this, the blue blood is an unknown blood. No one knows the risks after integration, and there is no way to reduce this risk. Any extraordinary person, even a formal wizard, rarely integrates this completely unknown blood.

When Sailum was just a junior apprentice, he made such a bold decision. Even though his friends didn't say it, they knew in their hearts that Sailum's chance of failure was very high.

Now that he heard that Sailum had returned, although Angel was happy, he was also full of deep worry in this happiness.

David sighed, shook his head, and said nothing.

Angel's heart skipped a beat. Did Sailum really fail? After failing to integrate into the bloodline, he might not necessarily die, but the end would definitely not be good. However, when Angel was worried, he noticed David's expression and felt something was wrong.

"Mr. Pat, Sailum is fine. He just came back some time ago and came to the store to ask about your situation." At this time, Baluba interrupted.

Angell was pleasantly surprised: "Is Sailum okay? Did he succeed in integrating his blood?"

Baruba nodded: "It should be successful. I can feel that his blood is much stronger than before. But, it's still not as good as yours."

Knowing that Sailum was safe and sound and successfully integrated his blood, Angell was relieved and happy for him.

However, after Baruba finished speaking, David pushed him unhappily: "I was just going to make a joke, you are so quick to ruin my show, don't forget, I am your boss!"

After David muttered, he turned to Angel and said: "Baruba is right, Sailum succeeded."

At this point, David's eyes flashed with envy: "Not only did he successfully integrate into the azure bloodline, but he also really opened the body of a sage. Although according to Sailum himself, this sage body is incomplete, it is enough to awaken the spirit. When he came back, it caused a sensation. It is said that he was personally called to the Cloud Library by the old man."

Angel also knew that Sailum seemed to be well-liked by the old man, and his longing for the body of a sage was also pointed out to him by the old man. It is said that only by becoming a sage body can one enlighten all things into spirits.

"You just said awakening the spirit?" Angel seemed to think of something: "Has his thick shell book been awakened into a spirit?"

David nodded. When he mentioned this, he not only had envy in his eyes, but also envy in his words: "That's right, I didn't expect that the thick shell book would have so many functions after it was transformed into a spirit..."

David was full of praise, but when faced with Angel's question about the specific situation, David kept silent: "Wait until you meet Selum, you will know. If I tell you now, there will be no surprise."

Angel thought about it and felt that it was right. He would know the truth when he met Selum later.

But when Angel was thinking so, David said: "By the way, I forgot to say that Selum had left the Savage Cave last week. I don't think he will come back in a short time."

Angel: "..."

After a while, inside Prome Alchemy Shop.

The door was closed tightly. According to David, everyone has been obsessed with the Nova Race recently. He hasn't made weapons for a long time. No one came to the door, so it's better to close it.

In the cramped shop, a candle lit up in front of a table piled with various sundries. Angel and David sat opposite each other, while Baruba sorted out the containers by the light of the fire.

With the in-depth conversation with David, Angel understood the whereabouts of Selum.

In fact, it was also related to the Rising Star Tournament. Selum went to the Sky Mechanical City. He planned to skip the Sky Tower and directly challenge the 1st to 30th floors of the Infinite Battle Tower.

In other words, Selum also planned to obtain this Rising Star Qualification.

Selum then explained the so-called Rising Star Tournament and Rising Star Qualification. Angel initially thought it was another trap like the Purification Garden last time, but after Selum's explanation, he realized that it was actually different.

After the Purification Garden incident, even if the major organizations signed an agreement with the Sky Mechanical City, they could not prevent the gossip. The Sky Towers in various places suddenly became depressed, including the Sky Tower in the underground market. In that half a year, there was not even a high-level competition.

The Sky Tower encountered a crisis of trust. In order to solve the crisis, the Sky Mechanical City held this Rising Star Tournament.

Use this to compensate the wizard apprentices of various organizations to restore the reputation of the Sky Tower. As long as you obtain the Rising Star qualification, you will be qualified to enter the Endless Corridor, and this qualification will last for hundreds of years.

You know, the Endless Corridor has never been open to the outside world before, but this time Sky Mechanical City really spent a lot of money.

Moreover, if Mechanical City continues to engage in the same tricks as the last purification garden, it is estimated that the reputation will lie directly on the ground and never be able to recover. Come to think of it, this should be true.

"The reward is to be able to enter the Endless Corridor for a hundred years. This is a temptation that formal wizards and even true wizards will not refuse. That's why this Rising Star Competition is so popular." When David said this, he couldn't help but think of it. Lianna told him the inside story: "Mechanical City also has a plan this time. He only opened the Rising Star Competition to wizard apprentices, not formal wizards. In other words, even if he finally obtained the Rising Star qualification, he could participate in the Endless Corridor as a wizard apprentice. , and can’t hit many layers.”

"Even if you advance to a formal wizard within a hundred years, you can only wander within the 500 floors of the Endless Corridor. You cannot see higher and deeper places, unless you advance from a wizard apprentice to true knowledge within a hundred years. So, in general, starting this endless corridor The corridor is given to a bunch of new stars, and Sky Machine City doesn’t suffer much.”

"But even so, this is a great improvement for us apprentices."

Angel nodded clearly. The Endless Corridor is an absolutely strategic and mysterious object that has been open for hundreds of years. Even though Mechanical City has its own concerns, it is still enough to show that it is full of courage.

It's no wonder that after returning to the Savage Cave, Sarum went to Sky Mechanical City without saying a word. If it were Angel himself, he would probably make the same choice.

However, Angel has one more way than others. He has an access card to the R&D Institute. Last time, when Bismarck was talking to Saab on the phone, Saab was challenging the Endless Corridor, and told Angel that having an access card to the R&D Institute is basically equivalent to being an honorary researcher of Sky Machinery City, and you can enjoy many benefits of Sky Machinery City. Even Tian Lai Demon Abyss can do it.

Of course, the premise is that you can really develop something.

"Salem, I understand, but what about you? When did you become interested in fighting?" Angel looked at David. The function of the endless corridor was actually endless fighting, layer after layer. It is said that it has tens of thousands of floors and is a real "infinite battle tower"! It has only been conquered to about 2,000 floors so far.

David is a pure alchemist, and Angel has never heard of David being interested in fighting.

"Sigh." When he mentioned this, David sighed: "I don't want to come either. My instructor strictly ordered me to participate. If I can't get the Rising Star qualification, I won't be taught alchemy again in a short time."

With a bitter expression on his face, David picked up the water at hand and drank it hard, which made him look like he was drinking.

Angel thought for a while and said: "Actually, looking back, this is for your own good, Lady Liana. If you want to gain a foothold in the wizarding world, you must have a certain amount of combat power. You don't go out to practice, so you don't have many fighting opportunities, so The Endless Corridor is the best way to improve your combat effectiveness. Moreover, the Endless Corridor is still in the Sky Mechanical City, which is the most developed place for alchemy in the Southern Region... I think Lady Liana may have plans to let you study in the Mechanical City for a long time. ”

Many places allow further study. For example, if the prophecy wizard chooses to go to the Crown Star Church for further study, the gourmet wizard will choose to go to the Candy House for further study, and the alchemist will naturally go to Sky Mechanical City for further study.

After hearing this, David felt a little dazed: "It seems to be true. It seems that I need to think about it carefully later."

David then said something about Sarum, and Angel also knew that the two new talented people he saw in the Hall of Tree Spirits before: Merlin and Arthur, were brought back by Sarum. of.

In other words, the extraordinary person that Merlin kept thanking for saving them was actually Sarum.

This is quite fate.

In addition to Sarum, David also mentioned Nausicaa.

Speaking of which, Angel originally planned to ask for information about Nausicaa, but David took the initiative to mention it, which saved him some time.

"Nausicaa hasn't sent a letter back recently, but a few days ago, I got a message from Shan. Nausicaa once talked to her and talked about some recent developments. Although Shan didn't say much, I can It feels like Nausicaa should be fine now."

"Also, Shan specifically mentioned that Nausicaa asked her about the news about the Rising Stars Competition."

After David finished speaking, Angel fell into thinking. When Nausicaa asked about the Rising Star Competition, it meant that she was also preparing to participate?

This possibility is very high, even greater than that of Salum participating in the competition. Because Nausicaa herself is of the blood side and is very obsessed with fighting. If she gets the qualification to go to the Endless Corridor and can experience different forms of fighting, how could she give up.

Salum went to Sky Mechanical City, and it seemed that Nausicaa would also participate in the Rising Stars Competition. In addition, David would eventually go there as long as he climbed to the top of the Sky Tower in the underground market.

Since all his friends had the possibility of going, Angel thought for a moment. If time allowed and the current matters, including Jon's illness, Toby's disaster, etc., were all resolved. If he had the chance, he could also go to Sky Mechanical City.

Moreover, it’s been so long since I got the R&D Institute’s access card, so it’s time to check it out.
