Chapter 764: Strange Omens at the Cloudtop
The vigorous talent test lasted for three consecutive days. On the fourth day, the talent test came to an end.
At this time, Bai, who had been wandering outside the Earl of New Ross's residence, reported two pieces of news to Jiebo.
"No gifted person has appeared?" Jiebo said nonchalantly: "This is normal. This is why the leader task is so daunting no matter which organization it is placed in."
Jiebo smiled and said: "Speaking of which, when I found out that he had accepted the task of being a leader, I admired him very much. So far, I have never touched this task. It is a thankless task."
Bai said curiously: "From the tone of your voice, you are very familiar with him? Who is he? How come I never have any impression of him?"
According to Bai's understanding of Jiebo, there weren't many people he treated with such a tone. Among the only numbers of people delineated, Bai could not find any faces corresponding to the apprentices of the New Ross Earl's Mansion.
"He has concealed his appearance. You can find out who he is specifically." Jiebo did not expose Angel's identity. It was not because he wanted to keep it secret, it was purely for his own bad taste.
Bai sighed and told Jiebo the second piece of news: "I got news from a slave in the Earl's Mansion of New Ross. He left the Earl's Mansion last night. His whereabouts are unknown, and it is unknown whether he will return."
"He left?" Jiebo asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I have been paying attention outside, but I didn't notice when he left." Bai was very frustrated that she could not monitor the other party's actions, but then her expression became solemn and she used a vigilant tone. Asked: "Sir, he is missing now, will he also..."
Jiebo: "You want to ask, is he involved in Lucas' matter? I think it is impossible, of course, it cannot be completely ruled out."
Jiebo was about to analyze the cause when suddenly there was a strange fluctuation in the distance.
Jiebo and Bai looked at each other and looked at the source of the wave almost at the same time.
The source of the wave was near White Oak Mountain, a high mountain next to Lost Music City.
The cloud tide surged and stretched for hundreds of miles. Covering the top of White Oak Mountain in layers, in the eyes of ordinary mortals, this is a relatively rare low rain cloud, which just happens to cover the top of White Oak Mountain.
But in the eyes of all extraordinary beings, it is full of mysterious and huge energy fluctuations. Moreover, this kind of fluctuation is familiar to basically all extraordinary people.
"Is this... an alchemical sign?!" Bai exclaimed repeatedly, "How could there be an alchemical sign here? Could it be that I sensed it wrong?"
Jiebo's eyes flashed with this little light, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile: "It seems that we guessed wrong again. He was not involved in Lucas's matter, but went to find a place to make alchemy."
Hearing Jiebo's words, Bai turned his head suddenly and said in surprise: "Sir, you mean... that the male apprentice at the Earl of New Ross's Mansion is an alchemist?!"
Jetbo nodded noncommittally.
"This alchemical omen is at least an intermediate-level alchemical product...but he is obviously only a third-level apprentice!" Bai's heart jumped suddenly, and a person's name suddenly popped into her mind, "Could it be that, Could it be that... it's him?"
Shiro looked to Jetpo, hoping to get confirmation from him. However, Jiebo did not answer. Instead, he stared at the alchemical omen, recalling the books on alchemical omens he had read before, trying to guess which direction the effects of the items refined by Angel belonged to.
Seeing that Jiebo ignored her, Bai couldn't help but ask: "Sir, is he a disciple of Your Excellency Huanmo?"
Jiebo whispered: "With his current reputation, he no longer needs to bear the title of 'disciple of Lord Huanmo'."
Although Jiebo didn't point it out, Bai has now confirmed that the other person is indeed the person in her mind. Bai suddenly felt dry at the thought of such an alchemist here. If she had known his identity earlier, she would have tried her best to establish a good relationship with him.
Jiebo seemed to see Bai's thoughts. He chuckled and said, "If you want to build a good relationship, now is the time."
When there is an alchemical sign, the alchemist is usually in an undefended state, and may fall into the strange phenomenon, and must break through to complete the alchemy.
If the past sells well at this time, it is indeed possible to build a good relationship. Of course, it is also possible that the alchemist will feel that you have invaded his personal space, which will backfire on him or even lead to enmity; this is a half-and-half thing.
Thinking of this, Bai began to hesitate in his heart. Should he go over and take a look?
Jiebo didn't have so many worries. He tapped his eyebrows with his slender white fingers, and a mini narwhal came out. As Jiebo's palm moved around, it gradually grew in size.
The body of the Narwhal Whale is extremely large, but now it only grew to about five or six meters before stopping.
Jiebo jumped on the back of the Narwhal Whale and looked at Bai: "It makes no sense if we still don't go away after discovering such an obvious alchemical sign."
As Jiebo spoke, he pointed to the dark sky in the distance.
Bai placed his mental power on his pupils, and a ray of light flashed through his pale pupils. In the direction of Jiebo's finger, a figure flew towards White Oak Mountain in the clouds and mist. The figure's arms seemed to be a pair of black wings.
"It's Shadow Goose Girl!" Bai revealed her identity.
"Let's go, no one in Xialu Hailing has any concerns, why should we care? This is a rare opportunity, why not go and take a look." Jiebo couldn't help but say, a bubble of water spread all around Bai's body, and he pulled her onto the back of the whale.
The whale flew towards White Oak Mountain after a long turn.
When Jebo and Bai arrived at the top of White Oak Mountain, they found that they could not get close to the center at all. Even... "Shadow Goose Girl" Siman, who arrived earlier than them, was blocked outside the clouds.
In the dense clouds, a huge flaming figure was looking at the people outside indifferently.
"Is this the Toby Helen mentioned?" Siman looked at the half-lion, half-eagle flaming beast not far away with a puzzled expression. Its eyes were crimson, like the embodiment of violence.
"This is the Fire Griffin." Jiebo flew over leisurely. "From what Miss Siman said, it seems that you also know its identity. I wonder how you know it?"
Siman had noticed Bai and Jiebo behind her a long time ago, and smiled brightly without surprise: "There is no wall that is impenetrable forever. There are always clues that can infer the answer, right?"
Jiebo smiled, not caring about Siman's ambiguous answer, but focusing on the Fire Griffin that appeared and disappeared in the mist.
"It seems that Angel's protection work is very strict, and there are already reliable guards. We are unnecessary." Jiebo said, and let the unicorn whale shrink its size and landed on the hillside of White Oak Mountain with Bai.
Siman also looked at the Fire Griffin, and the powerful deterrent made her a little scared.
Not to mention the strange flames, the gray mist around the griffin alone made her feel afraid. Such a giant beast, Siman didn't think she could beat it.
Since Jebo had already stepped back, Siman also turned into a human form without saying anything and landed on the hillside.
The three of them were all on the hillside of White Oak Mountain waiting for the clouds on the top of the mountain to dissipate.
At this time, Toby, who had transformed into a griffin, looked back at Angel, who was in the center of the clouds. Just like before, he was still standing there blankly. Not far in front of him, a cloak was floating in the air.
The cloak was surrounded by golden floating patterns, and the specific appearance was not real. Only the fierce sound made by the wind could be heard.
Toby's eyes were filled with worry. This time the strange omen was too strange. Angel had been immersed in the strange omen for almost half an hour. This had never happened in his previous alchemy. Would something go wrong?
When Toby was worried, Angel opened his eyes at this time, but not physically, but in the vision, Angel, who was sleeping by the river, finally woke up from his sleep.
When Angell woke up, the magnificent river in front of him gradually disappeared.
Angell's eyes were still in a trance. Anyone who has experienced a different life will feel confused.
Let's start from the beginning.
In the intervals between testing his talents, Angell also took time to study the Blank Poem.
He has been studying it for half a year, and the progress has been stuck on the last magic pattern. Finally, last night, he had an inexplicable feeling that he should have reached the threshold of refining. So, after the talent test, Angell found a place with few people and prepared to carve out the Blank Poem in one go.
The Blank Poem has 15 magic patterns, and the smallest extent that Angell can currently shrink also requires a one-meter radius. In addition, the Blank Poem must be carried close to the body to avoid being spied on by the prophecy wizard, so he decided to refine the Blank Poem into a robe before. In order to reduce the error tolerance rate, he decided to refine a wider cloak.
The refining was very successful. When the Blank Poem was engraved on the cloak, Angel was almost immediately dragged into the vision space by the alchemical anomaly.
The so-called alchemical anomaly is actually more of a test for the alchemist, testing whether the alchemist can withstand this heaven-defying thing.
The last time Angel refined the bracelet with "Boundless Silence" and entered the vision space, at that time, the place he went to was a dark and desolate place. He experienced a lonely journey, and during that journey, he clarified the meaning of "alienation and concealment" represented by "Boundless Silence".
With that experience, Angel guessed that this time, the cloak engraved with "Blank Poem" should also enter the vision space with the corresponding effect of the magic array. Sure enough, this time after he entered the vision space, the first thing he saw was the surging, insignificant, and powerful long river.
When Angel saw this long river, a guess immediately popped up in his mind:
The long river of destiny.
This was a feeling that made Angel inexplicably believe that this long river should be the long river of destiny, one of the three major schools advocated by the prophecy wizard.
The effect of the blank poem itself is to prevent the prophecy wizard from prying, so it seems reasonable that the long river of destiny appears in the vision.
It is called a river only because the waves in it are rolling and rushing in a certain direction.
But whether it is water is another matter.
After Angel fell into the vision space, he didn't know what to do and could only walk along the river bank. He wanted to find some tricks, but the more he walked, the more tired he felt. In the end, he fell asleep directly.
After he fell asleep, he inexplicably entered another person's life.
The owner of this different life is a weirdo living in a bell tower.
