The third day of the first ten days of the cold month, the 8th Apprentice Town.
On this day, Angel got up very early. After getting up, he dressed up and put on a tailored black gentleman's suit.
In the mirror, the little boy suddenly transformed into an elegant aristocrat, with a high nose, thin lips, blue eyes as deep as the sea, and a slightly messy but interesting short golden hair; According to today's aesthetic standards, Angel is definitely a first-class handsome man. Usually when he doesn't show off much, he can already attract everyone's attention. When he starts to pay attention to his appearance, he becomes even more handsome and eye-catching.
"I always feel that something is missing." If there were outsiders here, they would have felt that it was perfect. Their temperament, dress, and appearance were all top-notch. But Angel himself was a little dissatisfied.
At this time, there was a chirping sound outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Angel walked over and opened the window, and fresh air drifted into the room. Along with the outside air, there was also a seabird wearing the same black gentleman's outfit, Toby. .
Toby circled around Angel's room, and then landed on Angel's head in a familiar way.
The older one and the younger one were facing the mirror, their eyes facing each other.
Same clothes, same confused expression, same posture...
"I know what is missing, a hat!" Angel looked at Toby's little body in the mirror and was wrapped in his golden hair, and immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by Toby's head hair on the Cloud Whale.
There is a market in the apprentice town, and there are also traders stationed in the nearby villages and towns for a long time. Angel soon bought a pure black tall oval-brim hat at a specialized hat stall.
Angel carried Toby and hurried back home.
Along the way, Angel received a lot of attention. The combination of appearance, clothing and the equally cute Toby was very eye-catching. However, this was only the attention of ordinary people. The wizard's apprentice Angel I haven't met anyone. They are probably all hiding in the basement doing experiments, and rarely come out when nothing happens.
After driving Toby away from his hair, Angel put on a black tall hat, which made his temperament even more elegant. With the dark red bow tie and white silk lining, Angel was even more mysterious in his elegance and handsomeness.
Today he is going to that person.
In order to show respect, Angel naturally hopes that he can meet others in his best appearance.
Moreover, Flora also told Angel: "He is a very wise elder, but he is a bit rigid and likes people who behave well. If you want to see him, remember to dress more formally."
Even if Flora didn't say anything, Angel would still tell him. He didn't want him to forget the lion's heart of glory engraved in his bones just because he was addicted to extraordinary power.
"The fire of the lion's heart will never be extinguished." The buttons on the gentleman's clothes are the emblem of the Pat family: the lion's heart. This is actually the first time Angel has worn this dress. It was originally customized and planned to be worn by his brother. It was worn when the title was awarded. Unexpectedly, before Leon could inherit the title, he turned a corner and left the Old Continent, arriving alone in the legendary Fan Continent.
Angel silently recited the family motto. At this moment, the boy in the mirror seemed to have an extra temperament, which was responsibility and tolerance.
"Let's go, Toby. I heard that the elder is the most knowledgeable in the Southern Region. Maybe he can help you find the path to evolution." Angel went not only for himself this time, but also for some reason.
It means planning.
Although Grea only asked him to take care of Toby, Toby has already embarked on the path of transcendence. In the past few months, Angel and Toby have also formed a deep friendship, so Angel took this opportunity.
, and also hope to find a way for Toby.
Stepping out of the 8th Apprentice Town, Angel didn't walk long before he saw a green vine ladder descending from the sky, connecting to the leaf platform ten meters above the ground.
After Angel climbed onto the platform, he didn't wait long before the tree-vine bus slowly drove up.
On the bus, Angel quietly thought about the key points of "spiritual power" induction in his heart.
When he sensed the spiritual power, he truly took the first step towards transcendence.
There are three steps to step into the extraordinary. The first step is to sense the mental power, the second step is to control the mental power, and the third step is to build the mental power model. Once the mental power model is built, it can be called a first-level apprentice. Abulei is currently
It's at this stage.
Not long after thinking about it, Angel was awakened by a burst of cheers.
Looking out through the carriage, it turned out to be a huge square in the center of the Tree Spirit Garden, suddenly illuminated by sunlight.
The branches and leaves of the Eternal Tree are huge, completely blocking the sunlight. The tree spirit garden located under the Eternal Tree is dark all year round. When there is sunlight, it is the broken light that shines from the gaps.
Nowadays, the central square, which covers an area of several kilometers, is completely exposed to the sun. The golden sunshine illuminates the ground like gold powder all over the ground.
Angel raised his head and looked into the sky, and found that the hundreds of meters long leaves blocking the square had all rolled up.
"It seems that Lord Tree Spirit has shown great mercy and is ready to show the light to the people below." Angel said secretly in his heart.
However, is this worthy of such cheers? If you want to bask in the sun, just take the tree vine bus to the leaves of the Eternal Tree.
Angel looked back somewhat strangely, so he did not see that a crack suddenly opened in the middle of the central square of the Tree Spirit Garden, and the cheering apprentices poured into the crack one after another.
20 minutes later, Angel arrived at the destination platform.
Angel stood alone on the small platform. There was a three-meter-high metal sign underneath the platform, which read: "Cloud Library Platform".
The bottom of the metal sign stands on the clouds.
Well, that’s right, it’s the cloud.
This platform was not on the leaves, but in the thick clouds. When Angel stepped on the white clouds, the touch from the soles of his feet was a bit like stepping on soft mud.
This is "cloud soil", the product of the reaction between special materials and clouds.
This piece of cloud land is very vast. From the platform, Angel could see the huge and brilliant library not far away, which was shining with golden light!
The elder Angel is looking for is in the largest library in this barbaric cave!
The library is huge and there are many people there. Compared with the library, the people are as densely packed as black ants.
The reason why there was only Angel alone on the platform was because everyone else had flown up. Just when Angel was in a daze, a middle-aged man wearing a blue wizard coat and a star-and-moon wizard hat appeared.
The witch flew past him on a broomstick.
As Angel approached the library, he could feel the glorious and majestic aura even more. It was like a church with the true God, making people involuntarily awe and worship. But Angel knew that the temperament exuded by the cloud library was not
The awe in religious rituals, but the awe of knowledge and truth.
Along the way, everyone had a touch of respect on their faces, and no one even spoke.
Angel also walked into the library with this solemn mood.
The internal space of the library is very large, and it is obvious that magic patterns are used to extend the space. The collection of books is partitioned. Angel saw on the map at the door that it is divided into 8329 areas. According to your own needs, you can teleport the array
Go to different blocks.
Of course, the principle of equal exchange is also followed here. Whether it is transferring or renting books, contribution points are required. Basically, all the apprentices’ hard-earned contribution points are spent here.
Angel remembered Flora saying that the elder seemed to be studying some kind of energy conversion topic in the 7920-7930 area recently.
Angel chose an unmanned teleportation array and prepared to teleport to area 7920. Aimlessly, he decided to search areas one by one.
When the bone card swiped through the teleportation array, a number jumped out: 100 points of contribution.
Angel's eyes widened when he saw this contribution point. He had just seen an apprentice teleport to a certain area, and it was obvious that he only had 1 contribution point? How come he had 100 times more?!
When Angel was about to cry, someone behind him urged him to leave quickly.
There were thirty teleportation arrays in the library, and they were actually full at the moment. Angel was too embarrassed to delay, so he gritted his teeth and spent the contribution points.
When he came to Area 7920, Angel was still very distressed about this contribution point.
Angel thought that an area would be no more than ten meters in size, but what he didn't expect was that the internal space of an area was extremely huge. It seemed to be more than a hundred meters long and wide, and was filled with major bookshelves. At a glance, there were many bookshelves here.
The collection of books is a hundred times more than Sanders's library!
Angel casually glanced at a book on the nearby bookshelf: "Experiences on the Use of Super Railgun".
Angel placed the bone card next to the book, and the rental fee immediately jumped up on the bone card: 300,000 contribution.
300,000 contribution points...
Angel only has a total of 10,000 contribution points, but a book here costs 300,000! Compared to 3,000 magic crystals! It is simply a sky-high price. It is estimated that few apprentices can have such a huge deposit.
It is estimated that the audience in this area is official wizards.
If it is an official wizard area, then Angel understands why the teleportation fee is 100 points. This is setting up barriers for wizard apprentices. Considering the speed at which wizard apprentices make money, contribution points will definitely not be wasted.
Above this.
No wonder Angel took a quick look and saw that the place was deserted, with not a single person in sight.
Angel walked along the center line of this area, looking around all the way, hoping to find the elder Flora mentioned.
However, Angel did not see anyone after searching the 7920 area.
Angel could only walk back to the teleportation point and prepare to go to Area 7921 to take a look.
7921 area teleportation fee is still 100 contribution points.
However, Angel's 100 points of contribution, biting his lip and crying, ultimately resulted in nothing.
7922, 7923, 7924, I found 3 more areas in a row and spent 300 contribution points, but it was still the same. Not to mention the elder, I didn't even see any other people.
When Angel was about to go to area 7925, the teleportation fee actually increased to 300 points!
Angel felt dizzy and wanted to leave, but felt unwilling to do so. In the end, he gritted his teeth and passed to area 7925 with a sad face.
After arriving in this area, Angel searched for people as before. Halfway through, Angel suddenly found a bookshelf at the end of the right hand that was different in color from the other bookshelves and shone with a faint silver light.
Angel was curious and walked over.
I found that all the books on the bookshelf were books related to alchemy?!
"Alchemy Manuscript - Energy Stabilizer".
This is an alchemy manuscript for making an 'Energy Stabilizer'. Angel remembers that he once took a video of 'Energy Alchemy Basics' in the warden's secret room in the prison ladder.
The method of making the Stabilizer seems to be a very basic alchemical tool.
Why is the color of this bookshelf silvery white? Is it because it contains books related to alchemy? Angel scratched the "Alchemy Manuscript - Energy Stabilizer" with a bone card. When he saw the numbers displayed on the bone card
, the heart suddenly thumped.
"Lease fee: 1.1 million contribution points."
1.1 million contribution points?! This amount is too scary!
In the "Elementary Alchemy Basics Collection" recorded by Angel, it contains nearly a thousand basic alchemy equipment making methods, and the energy stabilizer is only the most basic one.
And the rental price of this most basic one alone is over one million, which is tens of thousands of magic crystals! Angel couldn't believe his eyes.
If it is priced this way, wouldn't "Basic Alchemy Collection" have a contribution point of over 100 million?
"Basic Collection of Elementary Alchemy" is just one of the alchemy books recorded by Angel. If you buy other intermediate alchemy, advanced alchemy and even some special alchemy, the price would be really unimaginable!
"I didn't expect alchemy books to be so precious." Angel murmured in a low voice. From this point of view, he is actually an invisible rich man... However, he did not dare to sell the alchemy books he recorded.
Just as Jon taught, "Every man is not guilty, but he who possesses a treasure is guilty." Before his wings were full, what he got from selling his alchemy books was not money, but a self-cutting sword.
"It's not possible to sell, but he can learn." Angel thought to himself, there are ready-made teaching materials, and they are step-by-step. If you don't learn, it will be a waste.
However, learning alchemy still has to be further down the list. His most important task now is to enter the circle of extraordinary people and successfully be promoted to an apprentice. Everything else has to come later.
Angel left the silver-white bookshelf and continued his journey to find someone.
Just when Angel thought this area was still in trouble, he suddenly found in a corner an old man whose body appeared and disappeared, as if he were a soul, sitting in front of a desk, writing and drawing.
Looking at the strange old man, Angel's eyes lit up.
"found it!"
…
There are three ancestral spirits in the Savage Cave: the tree spirit of the Eternal Tree, the Mirror Lady of the Mirror World, and one, the old man in front of me.
——The most knowledgeable person in the Southern Region, the wise man in the cloud library, and the wise man.
Shu Lao is also an eternal phantom. He is wise and steady. He participated in writing or editing more than 50% of the books in the entire cloud library. It is rumored that he is a true spirit born from an ancient book, so in the end
What I also cherish the most are books.
He has never left the mirror world and rarely even left the cloud library. Even so, he still won the title of 'the most knowledgeable in the Southern Region'.
However, erudition and specialization are two different things. Erudition means knowing a lot of things, while specialization means constantly digging deeper and deeper into a certain field. There is no difference between the two, but for a wizard, specialization is definitely required.
of.
Shu Lao knew a lot of things. Many special skills of wizards came from Shu Lao. Shu Lao even gave guidance to legendary wizards. Therefore, Flora recommended Shu Lao to Angel.
When Angel got close to the old man, he saw that he had been writing something, so he didn't want to disturb him, so he had to stand aside and wait.
This wait is ten hours.
Angel's feet were numb even when he stood, but Shu Lao still had no intention of stopping.
Toby originally squatted on Angel's left shoulder, then moved to his right shoulder, then ran to the hat, and finally fell asleep and was placed in Angel's breast pocket.
The sky outside had begun to get dark, and Angel tentatively called out softly: "Shu Lao?"
Shu Lao still buried his head, thoughts and considerations flashed across his face from time to time, and he had no intention of paying any attention to Angel.
