Chapter 2497 Growing Pains
With the help of Speed Spirit, it only took Angel one day for the gondola to go from the Principality of Yali to the Kingdom of Guman.
After arriving at the border county of the Kingdom of Guman, Abule said: "My lord, just leave me here. There is a Bailei Market nearby. There is a short-distance teleportation array that can directly reach the gap of Fas. From there, it is very close to Baibeihai City."
Angel: "All wizard markets in the Kingdom of Guman are monitored by King Guman's people, and the same is true for Bailei Market. You should be careful when you go there."
Wizard markets in other countries actually have a set of long-standing rules, and basically no problems will occur. Only the market in the Kingdom of Guman has the variable of King Guman, and the probability of accidents is much greater than that of other markets. However, King Guman also wants to learn about the intelligence of major organizations through the wizard market, so King Guman will not do such things as exterminating the market unless it is absolutely necessary. As long as Abule waits for the transmission in an orderly manner, nothing serious should happen.
Abule lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red: "Thank you for your concern, I will be very careful."
The gondola landed in the wild jungle. Abule flipped over the edge of the boat and landed. She was about to say hello and leave. At this moment, Angel suddenly called her.
"Wait."
Abule raised her head and looked at Angel in confusion. Angel pondered for a moment, slowly raised his fingertips, and there was a faint light flickering at his fingertips.
Before Abule could react, the faint light from Angel's fingertips rushed into her brow.
Abule had heard a long time ago that some wizards were moody and killing people was like eating and drinking water, and there was no bottom line at all. Could it be that Angel was going to kill her? But didn't they get along very harmoniously before?
Abule thought she was dead, but she stood there in a daze for a long time, but nothing happened.
She touched her brow, which was smooth and flat, without the imagined blood hole.
The inside of the body seemed normal too.
What was that glimmer that penetrated into the center of the brow just now?
When Abule was full of doubts, Angel said softly: "You look very tired."
Abule subconsciously said: "Because I was struggling whether to go to Baibeihai City to take over, I haven't had a good rest for more than ten days."
Angel: "Then you should find time to have a good rest. Maybe you will have an interesting dream."
Abule: "Dream? What dream?"
Angel smiled and did not answer. Instead, he directly controlled the gondola to fly into the sky and disappeared from sight.
And Abule stood there blankly, not knowing why. In the end, she shook her head and turned to walk towards the direction of Bailei Market.
......
On the gondola, Angel leaned against the edge of the boat and meditated quietly.
Suddenly, a spiritual power slowly circled around Angel.
This is the spiritual power of Su Ling. After this period of getting along, Angel also roughly understood some of Su Ling's unique words.
What it expressed with its mental power at this time was: it felt a very uncomfortable breath in Abule's backpack.
Almost all elemental creatures are pure, and their radar for filth is stronger than that of human wizards.
At least, Angel didn't feel how filthy the puppet was, but he thought that it was made of human skin and given to Abule, so there must be ulterior motives.
"Don't worry, that little bit of filth is actually very little. There are many things and places in this world that are filthier than that."
Su Ling was silent, no longer releasing mental power to the outside, but continued to hold the gondola and move towards the target.
Angel looked at the unchanging scenery around him, thinking in his mind what decision Abule would make?
The glimmer that entered Abule's brow before could not be useless.
It carries a nightmare scene, and as long as Abule falls asleep, this nightmare scene will turn into a dream.
This nightmare scene was exactly the scene when Angel met Kuina, Fengman, and her two dead friends, Chaila and Yaniga.
This scene restored everything these devil-like children did from beginning to end.
Simply speaking of this scene, everyone will have different understandings. Some people will think that these children are unforgivable; some people will think that it is the fault of the war and they are just trying their best to survive.
Angel does not care about how others understand it. He wants to know more, if Abule sees the truth about Kuina, what choice will she make?
Will she believe in Kuina as always? Or do you think Kuina has other purposes in getting to know her?
When Angel was thinking about various possibilities, his bracelet suddenly gave off a slight warmth.
Stopping his thoughts, Angel focused his attention on the bracelet.
Looking closely, it turned out that Dangros had woken up at some point, controlling the flames to jump around. Fortunately, Angel set up a layer of mist illusion around Dangros, otherwise these flames would be enough to burn the things in the bracelet.
In order to avoid problems with the bracelet space, Angel quickly released Dangros.
As soon as Dangros came to the outside world, his eyes lit up immediately and he wanted to jump on Angel.
Angel quickly stopped him.
"Are you going to let me run away?" Angel said unhappily.
Dangros was stunned for a moment, looked back at himself, and then noticed that there were several orange-red flames floating near the broken hand, like a fire cloud, lingering between the broken hands.
"What, what's going on?" Dangros wondered: "I obviously didn't set the fire. Also, why do I feel that my head has become so heavy."
"It's not that your head has become heavier, it's that your broken wrist has grown a little longer." Angel looked at it and said, "It should be about five centimeters by visual inspection."
Dangros rolled his eyes upwards vigorously, trying to see his longer wrist. However, its facial features were in the palm of his hand, so it was really difficult to see the changes in his wrist.
Seeing how hard Dangros was working, Angel simply made a water mirror.
Dangros looked left and right in front of the water mirror, sometimes getting closer, sometimes further away.
"......What are you doing?"
Dan Gross: "I feel like I'm more handsome than before!"
Listening to the ending sound that could be heard three times, Angel was speechless. How come Dangros has acquired the attributes of narcissism after not seeing each other for just one day?
After having enough narcissism, Dangross remembered the original question: "What's going on with me? Why are my wrists longer and there are more fire clouds around them?"
Angel said lazily: "You must have evolved."
Angel didn't know what exactly happened to Dangros, so he could only simply repeat what the tree spirit said.
After listening to Angel's words, Dangelos looked happy: "I have grown up! Teacher Magu previously judged me and said that I need to experience World Voices at least five more times before I can continue to grow. I didn't expect that I would grow up now. I’m so lucky to have grown up!”
Angel said angrily: "You are not too lucky. You followed me and got some luck."
Dangross frowned.
Angel: "Think about it for yourself. If you hadn't followed me, would you have had a chance to go to the tree spirit's life pool? Would you have had a chance to absorb the energy of life? So, you are lucky to me."
Dangelos thought about it carefully with his small mind, and it seemed that this was really the case. Following Angel, I didn’t expect to have such a blessing.
If it could follow Angel all the time, would it be able to quickly grow into a powerful elemental creature like Carlo Menchis?
Dangros felt wonderful just thinking about it.
While Dangros was thinking about various things, Angel took out a piece of mithril and ancient silk platinum and roasted it with the fire cloud released by Dangros.
In less than five seconds, the ancient silk platinum melted. Ten seconds later, the mithril also turned into a pool of sparkling silver liquid.
Angel raised his eyebrows in surprise: After Dangros evolved, the temperature of the flame became stronger than before. At this level, official wizard-level materials should also be able to melt, it's just a matter of how long it takes.
Angel: "Yes, yes, it would be better if you could control these flames freely. Dangros, your task now is to contain the fire clouds around you first, so that you can send and receive them as you wish."
Dangros also saw Angel's behavior and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are just greedy for my fire."
Angel was noncommittal: "You just got great benefits from following me, and you want to disobey me?"
Dangros turned his head proudly.
Angel: "Besides, if you don't handle the fire around you like your heart, do you think I will let you get on top of me? I don't want your clothes to be burned into tatters."
Dangros thought about it, and it was right. Angel is its "mount", and it's really not good to burn his clothes.
Thinking of this, Dangros began to actively control the surrounding fire clouds.
While controlling, Dangros also didn't forget to say: "I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for the sake of appearance."
Angel leaned lazily on the edge of the boat and did not reply. I was just thinking silently in my heart, after Dangelos evolved this time, the flames became stronger, so why did he gain the attributes of narcissism and arrogance?
Is this what is called growing pains?
How about looking for an opportunity to write "The Sorrows of Young Dangross" for Dangross?
While Angel's thoughts were swirling and Dangros was practicing hard, the gondola finally flew out of the borders of the Guman Kingdom and entered the territory of the Laxum Principality.
After experiencing a period of drought, the desert area ushered in the scorching heat.
The Principality of Laxum is a famous inland desert country in the Fan Continent, and its name is the Kingdom of Plenty. However, the Principality of Laxum is even more desolate than the Kingdom of Fertility. At least a quarter of the Kingdom of Fertility is not desert, but almost the entire territory of the Principality of Laxum is desert.
Also because the Principality of Laxum is a pure desert country, and the desert is extremely vast, neighboring countries are too lazy to compete with it for these barren lands. Therefore, the area of the Principality of Laxum is quite large. Even if the Kingdom of Guman, the Principality of Yali and the Kingdom of Yongye combined, they are not as large as the Principality of Laxum.
It took Angel one day to get from the Pamiji Plateau to the Principality of Laxum, but it would take one or even two days to get from the Principality of Laxum to the Sandworm Market. The Sandworm Market is not yet in the hinterland of the Principality of Laxum. This shows how huge this country is.
It's just useless no matter how big it is, it has few resources, and it's unbearably hot all year round. As a result, this country has the smallest number of people among almost all countries.
However, for the extraordinary people, the Principality of Laxum does have a lot of available resources. Extreme climates will inevitably breed extreme things. For example, due to the topography, elemental creatures of the fire and earth systems will be born here; in addition, there are a large number of strange sandworms here, which are very good extraordinary materials. Some top sandworms can even be used as auxiliary agents for practicing earth magic.
All kinds of extraordinary resources make the wizard market in the Principality of Laxum quite prosperous. There is even an extraordinary city located deep in the desert.
However, Angel does not need to go to that extraordinary city this time. His goal is just a sandworm market famous for sandworm trading.
......
The endless yellow sand, the sandstorms that blow from time to time, the dead bones buried in the desert, and the sound of camel bells coming from the wind and sand constitute the main theme in front of him.
"This bone is so strange, why are there so many ribs, one, two, three...ah, countless." Dangros' voice came from Angel's shoulder.
After a day and a night of training, Dangros was finally able to gather the flames outside his body, so he was allowed to get on Angel's body. And because Toby was not there at this time, the shoulder territory that Toby occupied before was occupied by Dangros.
Angel also heard Dangros' voice, lowered his head, and looked at the dry bones under the sand blown out by the dry wind.
"This is the skeleton of a sandworm." Angel took a look and determined the species of the creature.
"Is this a sandworm? It's bigger than you, and it can be called a worm? Doesn't the illusion science say that worms are small?" Dangros was surprised.
"The science popularization of illusions I showed you is for the worms in the ordinary world. Sandworms are extraordinary creatures, naturally they are not in the same category."
Dangros wanted to say something else, but Angel interrupted him: "If you have any questions, ask them later. The camel bell team of the sandworm market is here. If you miss this time, you have to wait another day."
In the vast yellow sand, it is actually very difficult to accurately locate a wizard market. Therefore, in the major wizard markets in the Principality of Laxum, there are camel bell teams that guide extraordinary people into the market.
And Angel is now at a camel bell team station in the sandworm market.
The dust in the distance showed no signs of dissipating, but the clear sound of the camel bells penetrated the dust and entered Angel's ears.
Getting closer and closer.
Finally, a team of camels, wrapped in robes all over their bodies, even their faces, leaving only their eyes to look at the road, came out from the wind and sand, and walked slowly towards the direction where Angel was.
