These three conditions were put forward by Angel after careful consideration. After all, it was just a test flight, and it wasn’t very dangerous for Toby. Just a flap of his wing. Angel did not intend to impose excessive conditions on David. But giving conditions that were too loose would give David the illusion: “Toby’s test flights are very cheap,” which could easily lead David to look for Toby the next time he wants to test any strange alchemy products. There must be at least one condition that touches David’s bottom line and warns him to not overstep his bounds.


Therefore, under the standard set by Angel, there are these three conditions. Not only do they beat David back, they also bring benefits to himself.


After David agreed to these three conditions. Angel took the key and opened the yard door to let him in.


When David entered the courtyard, he looked around at the elegant and exquisite courtyard. His heart was filled with admiration. He had been in the Savage Grottoes for five years, but he still can’t afford to rent a house. Fortunately, with Master Promi’s generosity. He had allowed him to live in the shop in the underground market without having to go find a room in the Crypt Field.


David was curious, but not surprised that Angel could own this single villa. Last time Angel was in the alchemy shop. He noticed that Angel had a staggering balance on his card. As a new talent, how could he possibly have such a large amount of contribution points? Unless these contribution points were a blessing left by a predecessor.


David speculates Angel may be a descendant of some Wizard family, which explains why an ordinary person who had just entered the Savage Grottoes has a lot of free contribution points and a villa.


“Do you want to do a Test Flight or Tell me about Sky Tower first?” Angel asked.


“Let’s do a test flight first!” At the thought of testing his new creation, David’s other thoughts immediately vanished. All of his attention was immediately focused on the Spiral Aircraft in his hand.


The operation is roughly the same as last time, but with an addition of a few more lines for controlling the direction and alt.i.tude. Toby only needs to roughly bite the line with his beak to manipulate it.


After having Toby wear the Spiral Aircraft. Angel spoke to Toby in front of David. “If something doesn’t feel right or goes wrong, just throw away the aircraft. It’s hard for me to notice the problems from the ground, so you have to be careful at all times.”


Angel’s words broke David’s heart a little. This time he really went to Master Promi to identify the flaws and defects to get them fixed…


Toby nodded, and then his little head with melon seed eyes rubbed against Angel’s palm. After, he flew in front of David and had him charge the aircraft.


As the magic was injected, the red light on the lever came on. Then, under the eyes of the two men, the spiral wings spun rapidly and flew into the air.


This time, with the steering gear in place, Toby can easily fly at a certain alt.i.tude.


“Turn around! Turn around!” David shouted excitedly, “Toby!”


Toby looked down at David, slowly biting the line that fell on his mouth, and then performed a low-alt.i.tude manoeuvre. Making David keep cheering and jumping as if it was not Toby but himself who was flying in the air.


Angel looked up to David and realized this time the Spiral Aircraft was really a success.


However, in terms of the structure for the Spiral Aircraft. This alchemy product is more inclined towards mechanical alchemy. Although there are additions of special materials. Overall, the general moderation needed by a Wizard is not high.


But as a newcomer’s alchemy work, it is very good.


When Toby landed successfully, it represented a successful first flight.


Although David had antic.i.p.ated this result, his heart could not help feeling moved when he saw his work perfectly express his intention. He always thought that his alchemy talent was ordinary and even wanted to give up for a time. But at this moment, he began to hobble on the road of alchemy. This time, his mind is firmer.


The success of the Spiral Aircraft gave David tremendous confidence because this is the first time his dream shined into reality. Allowing him to have expectations for the future. He laughed and jumped and even burst into tears.


Angel wanted to make a mockery of his Spiral Aircraft with his rich knowledge coupled with the details of the Earth’s civilization. But seeing David’s almost near fervour-like expression and pure joy that could infect others. Angel decided not to be picky but offered his sincerest congratulations.


Perhaps this work is flawed, cannot be applied anywhere else, nor can it be promoted. But it gives hope to a beginner in alchemy. At this point, any criticism could undermine David’s confidence. Instead, praise might give him the impetus to climb higher or take a step further.


Therefore, Angel gave rare words of praise.


Throughout the court, the only person who scorned the Spiral Aircraft was Toby. But he couldn’t speak, nor did he want to hurt David’s confidence.



Back in the house, the two sat down opposite to each other.


David’s happy mood hasn’t calmed down yet. He can’t help sharing what he learned while refining the Spiral Aircraft with Angel. Angel listens very attentively; the experience of a beginner alchemist is also an experience. After all, he also had plans to go on the path of alchemy, and it would be better to listen and take fewer detours.


When David’s mouth was dry and his throat a little hoa.r.s.e, he stopped and said a little shyly to Angel, “I was too excited and was more talkative than usual. I almost forgot to get down to business.”


“It doesn’t matter. I understand how you feel, and I liked listening. All these experiences are very valuable.” As he spoke, Angel got up and went into the kitchen to pour David a cup of warm water.


When Angel returned, he did not know when, but David was standing at the door of his bedroom. But instead of stepping into the bedroom, he looked at < Traveler Under the Stars > on the bedroom wall with a look of appreciation on his face.


“That oil painting is really a masterpiece of art painted by a master artist.” David returned to rest in the living room and lamented, “Angel, is this what you painted? It’s so beautiful!”


Angel shook his head and said. “I’m still a long way off. That… it was painted by some famous mortal.”


David didn’t care who the famous mortal was. Instead, he asked curiously. “Hearing you say that, you seem to be able to paint as well?”


“A little bit. I learned it when I was a child.” Angel’s father, old Viscount Pat. Gave his two sons the most traditional aristocratic education, including oil painting, calligraphy, musical instruments, art appreciation and so on. Angel was somewhat shallow in these disciplines, and at most reached the standard of an ordinary craftsman. Compared with the famous masters that can express the emotions in their paintings, there is no comparison.


“That’s good too. It adds a bonus when you learn and study alchemy. Although the effect of alchemy items is very important, it will be appreciated more if the work is a piece of art rather than having a general appearance.” David said, “I remember Master Promi saying that in ancient times, a true alchemist had to study works of art. Otherwise, no matter how effective the alchemy products were, they would not truly become a perfect alchemy product with the best outcome.”


Angel: “…” It turns out that one has to have a certain artistic proficiency to learn alchemy? He thought what he would casually refine would be “natural” and perfect. That’s what he saw in those Earth novels in the Holographic Tablet.


“But now the vast majority of people do not pay attention to the appearance of alchemy products. As long as the effect is not discounted, it works. But I personally hope that the works born from my own hands will not only be useful but also have a certain artistic height.” David took out the Spiral Aircraft with some regret. His first work was totally a pieced together patchwork product with no beauty except for some mechanical sense. “Unfortunately, I haven’t studied this systematically. If I want to go further along on the path of alchemy, maybe I’ll go to a mortal college to study art.”


The Wizard group also has a large number of artists, and because of their rich experience and long lifespan. Their artistic achievements have reached an incredible height. But this kind of Wizard is not someone David can ask advice from. On the contrary, ordinary art inst.i.tutes only need him to spend a few gold coins to go study in the school. Many famous ordinary people, because of their dedicated pursuit in life, have works of art reaching impressive heights.


“This knowledge of alchemy will be clear to you when you embark on the path in the future.” David took a sip: “Now let’s get down to business, about Sky Tower…. But I’m a little surprised. Why are you interested in Sky Tower? Do you want to climb the tower? Although every Wizard Apprentice wants to climb the tower, you haven’t even been promoted to an apprentice yet. It’s a little too early to focus on it now.”


Angel simply answered David’s inquiries with a “getting read in advance” statement.


Although David is still a little unconvinced, there is no need to delve too deeply into it, just as David is very curious about the “Wizard family” behind Angel. He did not ask for the same reason.


“About Sky Tower’s compet.i.tion system, I told you about it last time. What news do you want to specifically know? Is it the information on popular players? I did sort it out, and If you want, I’ll send it to your contact device when you are promoted to an apprentice.” David said.


The internal communication method of each major organization is not the same as the internal communication method of the Savage Grottoes. In the Savage Grottoes, it is a crystal ball. It can record pictures and send messages, and Angel knows about it. It is a very low-grade alchemy product. Made of low-level photographic stone, it can record the current scene. Its application is very narrow, its operability very low, and the message transmission system can only be carried out over a short distance or maybe even face to face.


Every talent who has successfully advanced to Wizard Apprentice can get a contact device at the Resource Allocation Hall. Angel has yet to receive one.


“I also want the contestant player’s information, but it’s not urgent. You can send it to me when I have a contact device.” Angel paused as a trace of uneasiness and a blush appeared on his face. “What I want to ask is if there is any way to climb the Sky Tower without much trouble and fatigue?”


“Without much trouble or fatigue, just getting to the top of Sky Tower?!” David resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said. “If there’s such a way, please tell me, I want to climb to the top too! Climbing to the top can net a very rich magic crystal reward, ah! Who doesn’t want to climb the top?!”


Angel said in silence, “Is there really nothing you can do about it?”


David said, “Of course there’s no way. Sky Tower depends on strength, ah! Unless you have a good family, but if you have so many magic crystals, why go to the tower?”


“If you have a good family, you can get to the top? What does that mean?” Angel wondered.


“Sky Tower can’t help compet.i.tors by any means. If you have a large number of magic pattern scrolls and throw them in each game all the way to the top, it’s no problem.” After David finished, he scorned. “But it’s not necessary to climb the top in this way. Just because the consumption of magic pattern leather scrolls is far beyond the magic crystal reward after climbing to the top. Moreover, if you do so, it is easy to arouse public indignation if you follow this approach. After all, every compet.i.tion is played in full view of the public eye. It doesn’t matter if you use magic pattern scrolls at a critical moment, but if you use it every game, you would be devoid of any sense of shame.”
