Main Text Volume Chapter 347 Invitation From the Earl's Mansion
After returning home, Angel thought for a long time.
The "person" who might know the information mentioned by the magician is not here at present. His whereabouts are uncertain, his strength is strong, and his background is extremely mysterious. It stands to reason that the magician circle cannot make friends with such a person, but this person has appeared in almost every gathering since he joined their extraordinary gathering two years ago. He doesn't talk much, just watching from the side. But every time he speaks, others will definitely understand something, which shows that his background is far superior to others.
The "Illusion Ring" that the magician gave to Bal was also obtained from him.
At the extraordinary gathering where no one knew his name, the person's code name was "Shadow".
According to the magician, the next extraordinary gathering will be in the early part of the frozen earth month, more than half a month away, and the gathering place will be near Waterglass. The magician said that as long as Angel is willing to share some information or knowledge with the extraordinary gathering, he is willing to be Angel's guide and introduce him to the extraordinary gathering.
Angel did not agree immediately, but said that he would think about it for a while.
The magician also understood that this system might be a bit difficult to impose on others. After all, they were all "self-taught" wizard apprentices, and they all understood the importance of "knowledge". But there was no other way. If they wanted to gain more knowledge or magic, they could only do so through this kind of gathering and sharing.
That is why their extraordinary gatherings were held so frequently, sometimes almost once every six months. Because as long as they communicated, there would be knowledge integration, and they could get more inspiration.
As a wizard apprentice of the orthodox school, Angel had a rich knowledge reserve, not to mention that he had also recorded the books in Sanders' library. His background was not comparable to that of the wild ones.
He knew a lot of irrelevant knowledge, but he did not immediately agree to the magician.
First, knowledge was hard to come by; second, he originally planned to explore the capital of the Fuxu Royal Court. If he agreed to this condition, he would inevitably stay in Waterglass for a while, and this plan would be stranded.
Angel thought for a long time, thinking about the arrangement of Dodolo's whereabouts, and thinking about his own accumulation of strength, and finally decided to postpone other plans and agree to the magician's conditions.
So, in the following days, Angel stayed in Waterglass.
But he was not idle, and he studied hard almost every day and night. Although he had a good understanding of nightmare illusions, he had not started to learn many basic tricks of non-illusion system, such as voice transmission, healing... This kind of tricks that must be learned by first-level apprentices, he has not studied seriously now that he has reached the second-level apprentice.
Angel plans to take advantage of his free time to study these carefully.
During this period of time, Angel lived very comfortably. The food in Waterglass was delicious, life was very leisurely, and there was no external enemy spying. Angel had not enjoyed this kind of stress-free life for a long time.
Occasionally, the magician would come to visit. In the process of contact with the magician, Angel found that this person really did not take life seriously as Baal said.
Although he did not kill people, from his communication with him, Angel found that he was indifferent to life. And whenever he mentioned Fuxu Wangting, his eyes would be full of hatred.
From time to time, the magician would express that he would dig Fuxu Wangting from the bottom up, dig it up bit by bit, first disintegrate the pillar family of Fuxu Wangting, then erode the economy and power, and finally subvert the entire Fuxu Wangting.
For such remarks, Angel just smiled and did not express anything. It is probably another story of cynicism and family and country hatred. He is just a passer-by to Fuxu Wangting, so he does not want to get involved. Just occasionally remind him that hatred is hatred, and wizards should not interfere too much with ordinary life.
In response to Angel's kind reminder, the magician smiled crookedly.
After the magician came several times in a row, it seemed that he confirmed that Angel had no intention of staying in Fuxu Wangting safely and did not know other people here, so he came less frequently.
Angel did not want to have close communication with the magician. It was very difficult to communicate with him because of different values.
Compared with awkward and forced conversations, Angel prefers to study quietly.
His current progress in learning magic is not fast, because level 1 magic is not as easy and simple as level 0 magic, and it also needs to cooperate with his own accumulation of certain knowledge.
Voice transmission, a level 1 magic, requires a rough understanding of sound waves. If he was in the Savage Cave, he could learn the relevant knowledge of sound waves in the teaching class of the Tree Spirit Court, but now he is not in the Savage Cave, so he can only learn by himself.
Precisely because level 1 magic has the requirement of knowledge accumulation, it is very difficult for wild wizard apprentices like magicians to learn a magic trick. The only opportunity is to communicate with peers. No wonder they hold extraordinary gatherings so frequently.
Angel has some knowledge of sound waves, but it is limited to the knowledge of sound waves on Earth. He doesn't know whether the sound waves on Earth and the wizard world can be used interchangeably, so he can only experiment a little bit.
Days slowly passed in the experiment.
A week later, Angel rubbed his temples and raised his head from hard study.
After a week of drafting a large number of formulas, calculating and proving data, Angell estimated that there was still a slight difference between the sonic science on Earth and the sonic science in the wizarding world, which was the change in the propagation medium. The wizarding world was full of primitive magic, which was violent but highly malleable and could even change the speed of sound propagation, which was completely different from the knowledge on Earth.
Angel also accepted this result. John had tested it before. The physical constants of the wizard world and the earth are fundamentally different. The acoustics are only slightly different, which is the best result.
Although the acoustics of the wizard world and the earth are a little different, the basic things, such as concepts, deductive thinking, and application methods are basically the same, but some results may be different.
Voice transmission only requires a rough understanding of acoustics. With the sound wave knowledge that Angel currently knows, it is enough to be competent.
The rest is to study the nature of "magic".
This is a long-term and intensive research process. Angel decided to put it aside and solve the problems of Dodolo and Pocrates before studying it.
Although Angel did not intend to pursue Dodolo's identity and his lost memory, he was still somewhat interested in "Pocrates" where he once lived. After all, there is still a group of colorful dragonflies there. Although it seems to be no threat to him, it is still a hidden worry.
And the plane alley of Pocrates should also have a passage connecting to the nightmare world. Although Sanders said that it was basically a fantasy to enter the nightmare world through that passage, it was still a hidden danger.
In order to be on the safe side, Angel still had to find out the specific situation of Pocrates. A few days ago, he had given the medical kit logo to Bal and asked him to check it secretly.
Bal had come once yesterday, but Angel was studying sonic science at the time and did not meet him. He just asked him to come again today.
While waiting for Bal to come, Angel looked at Dodolo.
How to place Dodolo has become a difficult problem at present.
Originally, Angel planned to get rid of this burden, but Dodolo has too many secrets and is also an excellent research object... Why can an ordinary person live for thousands of years without aging? If the mystery can be studied, can mentor Jon and brother Leon also live for a long time?
Although he is not qualified to explore Dodolo's secrets now, but he can't, it doesn't mean that others can't. If he could return to the Savage Cave...
Angel sighed and decided to take Dodolo with him temporarily, provided that he was not in danger.
Since he was going to spend a long time with Dodolo, some things had to be put on the agenda, such as: how to educate Dodolo?
He was currently a blank sheet of paper, and it was up to Angel to decide what kind of person he would be educated into.
However, before talking about education, Dodolo had to be able to communicate with others at least.
For a patient with total amnesia like Dodolo, common sense must be taught by someone, and he was going to learn about Waterglass's enlightenment when Bal arrived.
He did not intend to ask Bal to help find Dodolo's enlightenment mentor. Bal himself was not a good person, and who knew what kind of people he would find.
So Angel planned to find him himself, at least this enlightenment mentor must be neutral and upright.
...
At about noon, there was a knock on the door.
Originally, Angel thought it was Bal who came, but when he opened the door, he found that the person was not Bal, or even anyone Angel knew.
This is a middle-aged man in a black formal robe. Although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, his expression was a little panic.
"Who are you? What can I do for you?" Angel frowned when he saw that the other party had not spoken.
The middle-aged man suppressed his trembling legs and said in a voice that he thought was the calmest but sounded like trembling to outsiders: "Dear sir, I, I am the butler of the Earl's Mansion; the Earl heard that you are visiting Waterglass and was very happy to invite you to his mansion for a chat."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking tremblingly, he handed over a gold-plated invitation.
Angel took a look at the invitation and raised his eyebrows: "Earl? Are you talking about Leonrick?"
Not to mention that Bal had mentioned this person before, the magician had mentioned him angrily more than once when he came to communicate with him these days. So Angel still had a good impression of this person.
"Yes." The middle-aged man bowed his head.
His whole body was trembling, and sweat kept falling on his forehead... Angel frowned. Is he so scary?
Angel took the invitation: "I know, please go back."
Neither said he would go, nor did he say he would not go. But when Angel took the invitation, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, at least his sincerity had been delivered.
After the middle-aged man left, Angel opened the invitation and took a look.
Leonrick invited him to a night banquet the day after tomorrow. He also made a special note that no outsiders were invited.
Angel smiled, it seems that Leonrick is also very tactful.
Although the magician never said good things about Leonrick, Angel had a good impression of him. At least the Waterglass he saw was very prosperous and the people were very stable, which showed that Leonrick still did practical things.
Angel still planned to take a look.
He couldn't put all his treasures on the unknown "shadow". Leonrick was a powerful class, and a powerful class that had lasted for hundreds of years. He must have a lot of information, and maybe he could bring him good news.
