“Not a simple alchemy weapon?”
Promi’s sentiment gave David a flash of thought. For some reason, there was a faint guess in his mind about the source of the alchemy weapon. But that guess was so alarming that he didn’t believe it himself.
But inexplicably, that guess has always been in the bottom of his heart. As if it were an established Sudoku, waiting for someone to uncover it.
When Angel returned home, he spent some time to refine dozens of more small golden arrows.
Taking off his robe, Angel pulls open his sleeves to reveal the alchemy weapon on his arm.
This is a small crossbow tied to the wrist and looks like a handheld crossbow. But it was more complex than a regular crossbow, with six major parts and countless smaller parts.
Finally, it is a.s.sembled into such an automated long-ranged alchemy weapon, called a Wrist-Mounted Crossbow.
The Wrist-Mounted Crossbow looks like a science fiction weapon. At least not like today’s mainstream mechanical alchemy products. The golden wristband is tied layer by layer from the wrist to the arm, and the wristband is full of small golden arrows. If Angel learns the Extend-s.p.a.ce Magic Pattern, he can better incorporate the golden arrow. But his Holographic Tablet has not recorded the Extend-s.p.a.ce Magic Pattern. So, he can only go to the High Cloud Library to go look for it when he is free.
There are two main kinds of energy sources on the Wrist-Mounted Crossbow. The more common energy source is the micro-electricity produced by the movement of the body. Through the energy source produced by the body, the golden arrow was like a simple projectile, without any special effect.
The other kind of energy source is magic power. Through magic power, he can control the shooting of the Wrist-Mounted Crossbow. To use it, he just has to touch the golden arrow on the magic pattern which can also allow the golden arrow to have a special effect.
But engraving a magic pattern on a golden arrow is too extravagant and too time-consuming. Angel also prepared only ten arrows engraved with magic patterns. The vast majority of these magic patterns are Frost Magic Pattern, as well as Flame Magic Pattern and Armor-Piercing Magic Pattern.
Because this kind of golden arrow with special effects is very precious. If Angel is not in danger, he is reluctant to use it.
After adding the newly refined golden arrows to the wristband. Angel enters a state of meditation. The daily expansion of his magic source through meditation is essential, and self-improvement of strength is always the prerequisite for everything else.
The next day, when Angel arrives at Sky Tower. There was a discussion in the contestant drawing area.
“Milk Baron showed up?”
“Didn’t I remember last time several groups of people went to besiege him yesterday? Why does he look like he’s fine?”
“Yeah, I saw Red b.u.t.terfly, Dog Tamer and Chloe brothers following him yesterday. I wanted to call out and say the boy is dead. But now it seems that I am still too naive.”
“Red b.u.t.terfly and Dog Tamer are missing…”
“They went out to kill Milk Baron, right?”
“Aren’t the Chloe brothers all right? What did they say?”
“The two brothers are always immersed in their own world. We asked them, but they didn’t give us any information. d.a.m.n it.”
“Whether Milk Baron killed them or not, as soon as Red b.u.t.terfly dies, I’m sure Ba.s.s will go after him. We’d better stay away from him so that we don’t get roped into this trouble.”
Angel didn’t pay too much attention to the discussions going on around him. He just went silently to the drawing area and started a new drawing.
Angel did not encounter a stumbling block in his three battles in the morning. The strength of the Sky Tower lower layer, after all, is not high. Angel easily won three victories in the morning, and scored 9 points, while harvesting 39 contribution points.
Other contestants spend a lot of magic power in almost every battle, so it is extremely rare to fight two battles in a single day. Angel, on the other hand, pushed through all his battles with alchemy weapons. So, he consumed very little of his magic power, easily winning each of his battles.
There have been no such contestants in the Sky Tower compet.i.tion for decades. What’s more, do not look at the names of the first layer of Sky Tower. They are not so big. This is just a compet.i.tion arena serving First and Second Level Wizard Apprentices. There are very few alchemy weapons at this level. So, Angel sweeping the compet.i.tion is not unreasonable.
For Angel’s behaviour, the other contestants have only these thoughts in mind: “When you have such a powerful alchemy weapon, why are you running to Sky Tower to rob us of contribution points? Aren’t you full or do you have nothing else to do? You would receive more contribution points by taking on a random task than to fight in a battle.”
Some people even compared Milk Baron with Blackjack and think that Milk Baron is also a kind of s.a.d.i.s.t. Deliberately bullying people to satisfy his sick mind. The only difference is Milk Baron does not kill people, while Blackjack is p.r.o.ne to cruelty and killings.
In just one day, the other contestants’ views on Milk Baron have changed dramatically.
Angel was uninterested in these boring gossipers. He just worked hard to climb the tower. It took 30 points to advance from level one to level two of Sky Tower. Angel had now acc.u.mulated 18 points and will advance to the second level if he wins four more battles in a succession in the afternoon.
After yesterday’s incident when Angel left Sky Tower at noon. No one followed him any longer. After eating lunch, Angel meditated for a moment and returned to Sky Tower.
In the afternoon battle, there was still no suspense. Angel lined up four consecutive matches and won all four. After these battles, the only thing that impressed Angel was that he was in the lineup with King of Beasts.
It was the man with a white kitten named “King,” carrying a bow and arrow that was never used with colourful feathers on his head.
Angel once watched one of King of Beasts battle. So, he still had fresh memories of him. Unexpectedly, half a month later, this man was still hanging out on the first floor. He seems to be the bottom floors punching bag. It was easy to compete against King of Beasts. Angel didn’t even have to use his golden arrows. He won with just a few simple combinations of spells to control the white kitten.
When King of Beasts saw the white kitten being attacked. He knelt down to admit defeat, regardless of anything else. Then he frantically ran to see how injured the white kitten was, making Angel look like a cat s.a.d.i.s.t.
If you cherish your kitten so much, why let it fight? Angel is a little confused about what King of Beasts was doing.
But also because of the abnormal behaviour of King of Beasts, Angel remembered this man.
…
“You want to advance to the second floor?”
“Yes.”
Angel came to the Sky Tower Registry office yesterday for registration and again today for advancement.
The staff member was not the man from yesterday but was replaced by a beautiful woman.
The staff member checked Angel’s information card and saw that he earned 30 points in just one day. He advanced from the first level floor. This was the first time in her career that she saw someone like this, so she was constantly staring at Angel as she went through the promotion process.
But Angel was wearing a hood and she felt that she was talking to an empty urn. No flower could be seen at all.
The promotion formalities were successful and it was already seven o’clock in the evening. Angel was not interested in fighting night battles. So after getting back his information card that had been modified with a new level number, he left Sky Tower.
But instead of going home at once, Angel turned the corner and came to Promi Alchemy Shop.
The reason he came had nothing to do with the fact that he was stopped from getting rid of his enemies yesterday. Instead, he wants to buy some alchemy materials. Most of his materials were consumed when he refined the golden arrows.
In addition, he also wants to buy some materials with other attributes. Many of the effects of the magic patterns he sees in the < Complete Book of Enchantment-Introduction > are useless. Since they are incompatible with the attributes of the previous materials he bought.
When Angel arrived at the building where Promi Alchemy Shop was located. The door of the alchemy shop was closed and there were signs of an external lock on the door. On weekdays, even if David does not open the door. He would still live in the alchemy shop. Now that the outer locks are used, it can be seen that David is not in the shop.
Since the alchemy shop is not open, Angel has no choice but to go home.
But to his surprise, even though he had not found David in Promi Alchemy Shop. He saw him outside his gate.
Angel could see from a distance that David was standing at the gate, looking at something in his hand through the oil lamp near the door.
“What are you doing out here? I was going to find you at the alchemy shop, but you were at my gate.” Angel pulled down his hood and greeted David with a smile.
David said with some unease on his face: “I’m here to apologize to you.”
“Apologize?” Angel opened the door and motioned David to come in and talk. “What’s the apology for? Did you speak ill of me in secret?”
He poured a gla.s.s of water for David, and they sat face to face in the living room.
“Yesterday, if I hadn’t shouted out loud, I might not have caused the Chloe brothers to escape.” David looked at him in shame: “I’m really sorry for letting the Chloe brothers escape. They may cause you trouble in the future.”
Angel paused for a moment and said with a smile. “Isn’t it normal to defend against cheats and killers in the Wizard Plane?”
“I just blame myself.” David bowed his head and dared not look at Angel.
Angel looked at David for a while, clapped his hands and said. “Okay, I accept your apology. Let it go. The Chloe brothers, I’ll find a way to deal with them later. I saw them today, but they seemed to be avoiding me deliberately. If you truly blame yourself, give me their information.”
David nodded. “Actually, the Chloe brothers are not the main issue. They should not dare to do anything to you anymore, but they will instead guard against you. The real trouble is Red b.u.t.terfly.”
“Red b.u.t.terfly?”
David gave a brief account of the background of the Red b.u.t.terfly, “… Although Master Promi said that the relationship between Red b.u.t.terfly and Ba.s.s was not what the outside world perceives. Red b.u.t.terfly was not just having an affair with Ba.s.s. She had several underlings under her skirt. If they unite against you, the consequences are hard to imagine.”
“Yes… well, I’ll keep that in mind.” Angel doesn’t comment too much. Lest the more he says, the more David blames himself.
“Next time you’ll send me the specific detailed information about that group through the communicator. Speaking of which, I have some business with you today.” Angel didn’t seem intent on keeping the topic going. He turned to David to change the topic and said. “I want to buy some materials. By the way, I want to sell an alchemy weapon as well. Can you help me evaluate it?”
