As soon as Angel stepped out of Apprentice Town No. 8, he saw two people coming out of Crypt Field and heading in the direction of Apprentice Town.
The little man in a white robe and no hood was Shalem. Next to him was Nausica. Instead of wearing a “sheet” uniform. She was still dressed in her soft and tight leather armour with her trimmed leather calf boots which were perfectly shaped to her slender legs.
Angel saw both of them in his vision, but they did not notice him.
Did the two of them go to Apprentice Town in order to find him? Angel’s playful mind suddenly arose, and he told Toby to fly into the sky. Then he put on his hood and slowly walked towards them with his head held down.
Just as Angel intersected with the two. He heard Shalem and Nausica seem to be talking about him: “I don’t know if Angel has gone or not… He can’t miss it… this time.”
Angel smiled and then coughed intentionally. Shalem did not respond, but Nausica took the lead in stopping, turned her head and looked at him with doubt on her face.
Shalem asked strangely, “Miss Nausica, why are you stopping?”
Instead of answering Shalem, Nausica continued to look at the black-robed man not far away with puzzled eyes. After two or three seconds, she asked with uncertainty, “Angel?”
Angel slowly took off his hood and smiled. In Shalem’s surprised eyes, Angel snapped his fingers, and Toby in the sky immediately swooped down and landed obediently on his shoulder.
“Angel!” Shalem came from being unaware in the beginning to have an expression of surprise as he ran happily towards him. His white robe flutters all around his body as he drags it elegantly behind his back. If it was at night at this moment, then it will create the effect of a fierce ghost escaping out of a cage.
Shalem laughed and hops around Angel, and Nausica walks over with a gentle smile.
“This is the Savage Grottoes standard Wizard robe. Angel, have you been promoted?” Shalem reached out and grabbed Angel’s robe. Before Angel could answer, he turned away and asked, “Why are you dressed in a sheet?”
Angel was stunned, his face suddenly flushed as he said, “I haven’t said anything about you yet. The last time you came, I was wondering why you went out in a sheet. And you have the nerve to talk about me!”
Shalem looked stunned. “How is that possible? I look great in my clothes! When Miss Nausica praised me for wearing a hat, she felt I was full of mystical feelings! Isn’t that right? ” Shalem turned his head and decided to pull Nausica into his alliance. It was because Nausica praised him last time that he went out in his Wizard robe every day.
Nausica had an att.i.tude of having nothing to do with his own affairs.
Shalem immediately felt wronged and his little face almost broke down in tears.
Angel snorted, “Don’t think about it. The size of a standard Wizard robe is the same. I’m a head taller than you. So, I look a little bigger when I wear it. You look like a kid playing with sheets when you wear these robes.”
In retrospect, when Shalem thinks back, he seemed to think what Angel said was true. Angel’s shoulders are wider than his. His figure is taller than him, and he’s also a head taller than him. When he wears in the Wizard robe like this? So, he… it’s possible, as Angel says, is wearing bed sheets without knowing it.
At the thought of himself wearing these sheets and running around everywhere these days, wishing to show the whole world that he was promoted to a Wizard Apprentice. Shalem felt very hot in a twinkle of an eye.
“I don’t have the face to see anyone!” Shalem put on his hat as he breathlessly said and looked like “the world has given me the greatest malice, and I bear it in silence.”
The original warm Peer Reunion scene was spoiled by these two sheets, one black and one white…
The trio stood under a roadside tree, and Nausica kept laughing. In her mind, she remembers the two children acting childish and funny because of their conflicting sheets.
“Why did you lie to me? I thought I looked great dressed in these robes.” Shalem unhappily asked Nausica, who didn’t even use the normal honorific t.i.tle. It was obvious he was in a bad mood.
Nausica forcibly stopped her laughing and said solemnly, “Actually, I think it looks really good on you.”
“Still talking nonsense?” Angel suddenly interrupted, “Then why don’t you wear it?”
At this moment, Angel and Shalem seem to be on the same side, both joining the Bed Sheets Alliance.
“Uhm, the reason why I don’t wear it…” Nausica turned her head unnaturally and her eyes turned so fast as if she was wondering how to answer. “Because although it looks good on me, it’s too loose to show my figure.”
“Really?” Shalem said suspiciously.
“Yes!” Nausica said irrefutably.
“Oh.” Angel sneered.
Nausica seemed to have answered the topic on “Why she hasn’t worn her sheets” for the time being, and decisively shifted the focus of the conversation.
“When did you get promoted, Angel?” Nausica asked.
Angel nodded: “I was promoted last week.”
“No wonder you weren’t there when we came to see you last week. I guess you went to the Resource Allocation Hall to get a bed… to collect supplies.” Nausica almost made a slip of her tongue. Now that Angel and Shalem have signs of red in their eyes, her mind moved, and she changed topics: “Are you going to Phantom Island too?”
Angel was stunned. “Yes, are you going to Phantom Island as well?”
Nausica nodded. “Yes, now almost all the apprentices have gone to Phantom Island, even Shalem’s and my mentor have gone there. We were just going to Apprentice Town to find you and ask you to go with us to Phantom Island.”
After listening to Nausica’s words, Angel was a little dismayed. Everyone else knew it was an opportunity and went to call him, but he completely forgot to call them.
Angel coughed uncomfortably: “That’s good, let’s go together. I have something else to tell both of you… By the way, did you just say you came over to see me?”
“Yes, didn’t you say you wanted me to come with Nausica last time?” As Shalem spoke, while his anger seemed to fade away and his face began smiling again.
“Let’s talk as we walk.” Nausica said.
The trio walked towards the platform for the Treevine sky bus.
“Well, you’re out of luck. I’ve gone out once in a couple of months and you came while I was away.” Angel said.
“Angel, last time you said you wanted us to come over, what did you want to say to us?” Asked Shalem as Nausica looked on curiously.
When Shalem asked this question, Angel paused a little and then looked around carefully. Because the Phantom Island Wizard Garden was about to open, many apprentices have come out. A large number of people have emerged from Crypt Field and rushed in one direction. They were surrounded by people.
Angel frowned and did not answer Shalem’s question.
When Shalem wanted to ask again, Nausica grabbed him and said, “Ask of him again later.” She thought Angel wanted to ask her about the last a.s.sa.s.sin, but it didn’t seem like Angel was so cautious. As a person accustomed to observation, Nausica stopped Shalem’s questioning.
“Angel, you look a little pale? Are you ill? ” Nausica shifts the topic temporarily.
Angel shook his head, thought about it, and nodded: “Not sick, but similar. Otherwise, I would not go out in bed sheets just to cover it up.”
Shalem was still wondering why Nausica told him to ask again later. Then he suddenly heard Angel was ill, and his previous thoughts were immediately thrown out his mind. He raised a deep look of concern in his eyes.
Angel saw Shalem’s eyes very clearly and felt a little warm in his heart: “Don’t worry, I just need to keep still for ten days to half a month. It’s not a big deal.”
“Good. Why don’t I come over and take care of you these days?” Shalem still has some worry on his face.
“I at least have enough strength to eat and drink.” Angel was not angry when he replied.
When they came to the platform, there were fewer people around, but there were still two or three people near the platform.
“I don’t know what opportunity there is on Phantom Island. Everyone says there’s an opportunity. That’s why we’re going to take a look, but we’re still foggy on the details.” Shalem said.
Angel: “I do know a bit about it, but I don’t know exactly what this opportunity is.”
Shalem’s eyes shined. “Yes, the owner of Phantom Island is your mentor… You must know what’s going on inside!”
Nausica also looked over, of the three of them. Angel and Shalem’s att.i.tude towards opportunity is optional, but she attaches the most importance to this opportunity.
Angel doesn’t hide it either. The vast majority of Wizard Apprentices know about it already, but Nausica and Shalem have just been promoted to apprentice. So, they haven’t heard much about it to inquire about the details.
“Roughly speaking, Housekeeper Goode said that the moment a Wizard Garden is built, there is an opportunity. But I don’t know exactly what this opportunity is.” Angel also repeated an explanation behind the concept of a Wizard Garden.
“So it is because of a Wizard Garden. Although I don’t know what a Wizard Garden is, it sounds great.” Shalem commented, pretending to understand.
After Nausica listened, although her attention is still on the opportunity, she was also curious about the Wizard Garden: “A Wizard Garden has good laws for the human body?”
“Yes, but there may also be harmful laws to the human body, these circ.u.mstances are random and uncontrollable.” Angel said.
“If only there were some useful laws, then we might have a chance to go in too.” Shalem looked forward to it.
“Don’t think about it too much. It’s Lord Sanders private Wizard Garden. Why would he open it up to outsiders? Angel, you might have a chance to get in.” Nausica strikes mercilessly at the dream.
Angel: “I don’t know if I can. Mentor Sanders temper is a little weird, and I still can’t figure him out yet.”
“It’s normal for him to be unfathomable. A Wizard Lord’s temperament is capricious. How can an apprentice guess at what goes on in their minds?” Nausica recalls her mentor, only feeling she knows one or two details about him.
At this time, the Treevine Bus stopped in front of them.
