Chapter 542 Current Situation of Others
The meat of Erdes is very tender. Even if it is roasted over ordinary fire and served with ordinary seasonings, its original flavor will not be lost.
Moreover, this is wizard-level Warcraft meat, which contains a lot of energy and can be described as an excellent gourmet ingredient. Just ordinary cooking can greatly increase the magic power in everyone's body.
While they were munching on food, they were mobilizing their own guidance methods in their bodies to guide pure energy into their thinking space.
After a while, Nausicaa sighed: "I just advanced a few days ago, and the source of the devil has been fixed. Unexpectedly, just eating a little meat made the source of the devil expand a little bit more."
Angel also felt that his magic source had expanded a bit, but not by much. It might be equivalent to the effect of half a month of meditation. This is also very good. This is ordinary cooking with such an increase. If it is made by a gourmet wizard, it is estimated to have five times or even ten times the effect.
Toby muttered a few words on Angel's shoulder, showing an expression of enjoyment.
Just as Shan was sighing, a strange wave of energy suddenly came from Xi Liu's body.
The wave came and went quickly, but the energy level that burst out instantly was so high that they couldn't help but look past it.
Shiliu opened her eyes and saw a pair of eyes looking at her.
Xiliu said somewhat uncomfortably: "I felt the barrier just now, and wanted to break through it at one go... However, you also saw that it failed."
"It's a big threshold for a second-level apprentice to advance to a third-level apprentice. The first two levels can be passed with time, but this barrier is difficult for many people. So you don't have to worry, think about our barbaric cave. Almost 99% of apprentices are stuck under this barrier, and there are too few who can break through this barrier..." Shan comforted Xi Liu.
Shan's words were correct. More than 90% of apprentices in the wizarding world were stuck in this barrier throughout their lives, but... Shiliu raised his head and looked at Angel, who was sitting across from the bonfire, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Shan also noticed Xi Liu's eyes: "Angel, don't compare. He is a monster...a little monster that has not been born for thousands of years."
Angel was beside him, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, so he could only eat the meat in silence.
This was just a small episode and passed quickly. Shiliu himself didn't realize how sad he was. After all, this was a normal thing among apprentices. It was truly abnormal to be like Angel who had no bottlenecks and was promoted in his sleep.
The meat of Erdes is too full of energy, and eating too much will not replenish it. Therefore, when everyone reaches their limit, they stop. Although Angel did not reach his limit, he stopped moving. This gives Toby an advantage, and he can monopolize the remaining barbecue. There is no limit to what he can eat, and his mouth is full of oil.
Toby loves to eat seafood, and this "seafood" can also increase the energy in the body, which is not too beautiful.
Seeing Toby devouring his food, Shan, who was not full yet, became greedy again. I simply called the bartender and ordered a few roast lamb legs, along with a large bucket of champagne.
This time, they were not as quiet as before while eating and drinking. While eating and drinking, they also talked about the interesting things that happened after the garden was purified that day, as well as the current situation of some core apprentices of major wizarding organizations.
Angel didn't like to gossip about other people's affairs, but he was very happy to listen to it under the influence of alcohol. Moreover, he also heard some familiar people and events among these gossips.
For example, Shan used the tone of telling a legendary story to tell an inspirational figure: a second-level apprentice of Breeze Valley who left the Purification Garden alive despite having all his limbs broken off.
It is said that this apprentice named Viking was plotted by his companions in the flying fish world, lost all his limbs, and was abandoned in the wilderness. Relying on his bloodline ability, he controlled a sea turtle and carried him to the sea of purification.
In the sea of purification, he controlled the sea turtle to fight against the Zuo tribe. After a narrow victory, he took the huge risk of organ rejection and transplanted a pair of Zuo tribe's hands. In the end, he succeeded by luck. Then after many adventures, he set foot on the altar of finality...
In Shan's mouth, this is just a small talk.
But Angel knew very well mentally that this Viking should be the big man abandoned by Shan Yeluo in the wilderness. Angel was present at the time, and out of a moment of compassion, he stopped the bleeding. He originally thought that with all his limbs severed, he would still be exposed in the wilderness, but he didn't expect to survive in the end and successfully broke out of the Purification Garden.
This can be said to be a miracle.
But Angel knew very well that miracles were not given to him by God's mercy. If he had not had the foundation, the desire to survive, a little luck, and calm wisdom, the miracle would have come as promised.
If it were Angel, he might not be able to reach the level of Viking.
In addition to Viking, Shan also highlighted Jetway.
"Although Jiebo was promoted to a third-level apprentice in the Purification Garden, he left the Mechanical City in a hurry the next day." Shan smiled at Angel and said, "It is said by outsiders that he was afraid of retaliation because he offended you. Then he left in a hurry.”
"But we are the only ones who know that he is afraid of meeting Xiliu." Shan patted Xiliu on the shoulder: "This is also a case where one thing defeats another."
Nausicaa also added: "Jiebo should have heard these rumors, but he did not explain it to the outside world and let it go. He probably thinks that you are more famous than Shiliu. If the rumor is that your opponent is you, he will tell the outside world It’s easier to save face.”
Shan covered her mouth and smiled: "I think so too, Angel, you are destined to take the blame for Xi Liu!"
Angel had a black line on his face: "..." This is probably when a person is sitting at home and the pot comes from the sky?
At this time, Xi Liu, who was at the center of the topic, said: "The version I heard is a little different from yours."
"I went to find my mentor the day before yesterday, and he told me a rumor. I heard that in this purification garden, an apprentice from the Paradise Pavilion comprehended the purification veins." Xi Liu paused: "It was the woman named Manyin. Manyin and Jiebo had a grudge. Jiebo seemed to have taken the initiative to leave the Mechanical City because of her."
"I heard about this too. I always thought that Manyin's comprehension of the purification veins was just a rumor. I didn't expect it could be true? However, even if she comprehended the purification veins, she couldn't turn it into her own combat power for a while. With Jiebo's ability, she wouldn't be scared away. I think it might be because of you." Shan said to Xi Liu.
Xi Liu didn't know either. After all, her memory was blank when she met Jiebo.
They also chatted about other people's gossip, such as Saladin was still alive; the "Girl in Divine Costume" and the "Eating Spirit" had risen strongly and became the benchmark for the new generation of apprentices; Cayeso, the "Wanderer of the Green Fields", was besieged. In the deep alley, he finally returned alive thanks to the warning from his magic eyes, but his nose and face were beaten so badly that even his parents probably couldn't recognize him; "Philosopher" Suya Tutai betrayed Uto Academy and joined the Song of the Deep Sea ;Hermes chased into the Butterfly Tavern for love...
I don’t know whether such gossip is true or false, but Shan is so easy to pick up.
According to her, it was all exclusive information that she summarized and analyzed by herself through various gossip magazines and through the minutiae.
At the end of the gossip, Shan turned her attention to Angel again:
"Actually, there are the most gossips about you, Angel, but because you are too low-key and never go out, they can't dig up any information, so their attention is basically focused on your strength, your magic pet, your alchemy skills and your background."
"There are no black spots on the others, but the public opinion about your alchemy is one-sided..."
Shan told the news she had received about Angel in recent days, and finally concluded: "Anyway, your current reputation is probably the best among the apprentices in the Savage Cave, so don't worry about those black materials, the facts will always defeat the rumors."
Shan said it very seriously, but Angel didn't care.
Like Shan, wizard apprentices who like gossip magazines are ultimately a minority. After all, many gossip magazines are actually run by mortals. They speculate on the psychology of extraordinary people with mortal thinking, which is inherently unbalanced. Using extreme language and gimmicks to gain attention will eventually backfire.
Comparing with journals truly sponsored by wizards, such as "Waves", "True Knowledge Collection", and "Plane Conquest Record", we can see how big the difference in vision between wizards and mortals is.
The petty things are just a joke in front of us.
And those who can embark on the extraordinary path are not stupid and can distinguish the facts.
Therefore, Angel really doesn't care.
Just like the person who may believe in the Lord of the Deep, Lantis, whom Angel met in the "Fingernail Alchemy House", the other party is also an apprentice, but he can see the facts clearly. Not to mention the unfathomable formal wizard like "Fingernail Granny".
The gathering with Nausicaa ended in the mellow smell of wine.
Angel learned that Nausicaa and the other two would return to the Savage Cave soon, and the wizard who protected them to pass the teleportation array was Xiliu's mentor.
Nausicaa also asked Angel when he would leave, but he couldn't tell. The situation on Sanders' side was too weird, so we can only wait and see.
Before leaving, Angel asked Nausicaa to record some problems of the "mechanical arm" at all times. If Nausicaa had any good ideas, she could also record them down. When he returned to the Savage Cave, he would find ways to optimize and improve them.
When he left Muyuan Bar, the night had already fallen.
The mechanical city full of "steampunk" elements did not dim because of the night. It was still bright and dazzling, and the city was more prosperous at night than during the day.
However, Angel had no intention of strolling around, and walked towards the depths of the night with big strides.
Angel did not return to the Flower Manor, but came to the other side of the mechanical city. He planned to go to the potion hut, first to thank Midora for treating him when he was unconscious, and secondly to get more alchemical knowledge from Midora.
Angel stayed in the potion hut for the whole night.
Although the purification garden had passed, Midora still opened his collection of books to Angel. Among these books, Angel saw a volume of "Notes on Alchemical Tricks".
This notebook was obviously left here deliberately by Midora. Although it is unsigned, the words on it should be written by Midora. The notebook does not record any alchemical tricks, but it contains the experience and experience of alchemical tricks that most apprentices can get involved in.
Angell is not short of tricks, but lacks these details and experience. So he was excited to see the prey and spent a whole night to memorize this notebook thoroughly.
Too many ideas in it inspired Angell. Originally, "Smelting" and "Freezing", the two advanced alchemy tricks of "heat melting and condensation", Angell had only learned them not long ago and had not yet used them. With the help of this notebook, it took only one night to understand the more advanced tricks: fire melting and solidification.
As long as he learned the fire melting method, Angell could smoothly process intermediate materials, which was much more efficient than the previous heat melting method.
In addition, Angel also has a general understanding of the "Eye of Nalda". If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to learn it quickly.
Just as Angel was wandering in the ocean of learning, the communicator that had not been used for a long time suddenly received a message.
