At first glance, the whole Sky Bridge was dark. It was densely packed fully with people.
With Falling Cloud Leaf Platform uses as an observatory, they can see countless Wizard Apprentices. It was hard to imagine how many people were hiding in the dark areas where their eyes could not see.
Angel’s first concern was about the Sky Bridge. Before they learned to fly, they had to go and cross the Sky Bridge to head to Phantom Island.
“It’s over, look at all those people.” When Angel saw what was happening near Sky Bridge, he secretly calls out the bad situation.
There was no gap on the bridge at all, only a dark pressure hanging over it. Angel wondered if all the Wizard Apprentices in the Savage Grottoes came out of their nests. Otherwise, why was even the wide Sky Bridge completely stuffed with people?
“It seems that we will be unable to move forward.” Shalem’s little face was tight.
“Would you like to squeeze in and try?” Nausica whispered.
In the distance, there was a sudden uproar in the crowd, and they soon followed the sound. It turned out to be an apprentice who saw a gap in the middle of Sky Bridge. They wanted to squeeze through all the s.p.a.ce available to get closer to Phantom Island. But before they could make a move. Another apprentice kicked them aside, and they almost fell off the bridge hanging in the air. As a result, the two had an argument.
But the dispute was soon over. Because a big man with a pillar who came from out of nowhere, walked step by step up to the Sky Bridge. As he moved, the surrounding people automatically gave way. There are so many people on the Sky Bridge that the man who carried the pillar directly swung his stone pillar in his hands in a wide arc. Dozens of people fell off Sky Bridge the next second.
Screams kept ringing from under the clouds.
“It seems a little dangerous… We’d better not squeeze in.” Shalem’s eyes followed the man carrying the pillar with fear on his face.
Nausica, who saw the situation also nodded in agreement with difficulty.
The man who carried the pillar walked while swinging the pillar all the way, clearing more than half of the people on the Sky Bridge.
At this time, a woman with a shiny green witch robe and wooden staff also set foot on the Sky Bridge. Compared to the powerful man carrying the pillar, the female apprentice means were much calmer. With every step she took, her staff would lightly touch the ground, and then all the people would fall. Calm does not necessarily mean there was no lethality. By the time she walks near the man who was carrying a pillar, many people have fainted behind her scattered everywhere.
Instead of clashing with the women holding the wooden staff, the pillar carrying hero stuck to one side until the end of the Sky Bridge. Where each side did not even take a glance at one other.
“At the end of the Sky Bridge is the edge of Phantom Island. This is the closest area to Phantom Island. Therefore, many strong apprentices who did not choose to wait in the air all went there.”
There were also people on the platform who were whispering. Angel and his friends heard this and looked at each other. Shalem said, “At the end of the Sky Bridge seems to have become a place where the strong contest with one another. Let’s not go over there and just wait and see what happens.”
Angel has the gold coin given by Sanders and is free to enter and leave Phantom Island at will. But at this time Heaven and Earth are full of people. The Sky Bridge is still occupied by a group of incomparably powerful Wizard Apprentices, and he dared not rush up at this time.
“It doesn’t matter to Shalem and me. We just came to join in on the fun here, but Angel, you…” Nausica looked at Angel. They knew that Angel’s mentor was the owner of Phantom Island. Angel should have access to Phantom Island.
Angel was silent for a moment and sighed. “I’m not going over there, either. Let’s just find a place around here to get together and have fun.”
Angel was very sad while making this decision. Should he hold the gold coin and shout “Make way. I am Sanders apprentice!” That would be too shameful.
So the group of three found a remote place near the Falling Cloud Leaf Platform to hang out.
After sitting cross-legged, Angel pulled out a small black cloth bag from his arms and hung it around Toby’s neck.
“There’s the pa.s.s for Phantom Island in the bag. I can’t go in anymore. You’ll have to fly in by yourself and see if you can hit an opportunity.” Angel eagerly said to Toby. He was no longer interested in this opportunity. The injury from the spell backlash is still affecting him. As a result, his mental condition is not good. Now he just wanted to have a good rest.
He simply handed over the gold coin to Toby and let Toby look for the opportunity himself.
When Toby flew away, Angel immediately leaned on a tree and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
“Angel, you…” Shalem tried saying something but was caught by Nausica.
“Leave him alone,” Nausica whispered. “He looks a little tired.”
“All right.” Shalem also noticed that Angel’s eyes were a little tired.
For a time, the atmosphere slowly fell into silence. Angel in such an atmosphere, felt the blowing breeze. His shallow sleep slowly becomes a deep slumber.
After more than a half an hour of silence, Shalem suddenly said. “Miss Nausica, are you really going to compete in Sky Tower?”
Nausica nodded. “This is an opportunity. I’m sure I’ll be there and take it.”
“But you’ve only just been promoted. How will you be able to fight against those apprentices who have been promoted for many years?”
Nausica took out a long pipe, slowly lit the tobacco, and then took a deep puff before exhaling out a faint cloud of white smoke.
“I know an apprentice who is good at drawing magic pattern scrolls. She was an earlier apprentice collected by Lord Van Tesser. I can buy some magic pattern scrolls from her at a lower price.”
“But even so, you need many contribution points, right?” Shalem wondered why Nausica was so persistent in attending the Sky Tower compet.i.tion.
“I will just earn it. There are still a few months to go before the news spreads out, and there will always be a way.” Nausica’s voice was calm and her eyes seemed to be in a trance while thinking about something.
…
When Angel woke up, it was noon the next day.
No sooner had he opened his eyes was when he was spotted by Shalem.
“You’re finally awake. You haven’t eaten for two meals in a row. I’ve brought some dried food here for you. Fill your stomach first.” Shalem took a pancake from a package and handed it over to Angel.
Angel just woke up and felt his spirit still a little depressed. After confusedly receiving the pancakes, Angel later asks: “What time is it now?”
“You’ve been sleeping all night. What time do you think it is?” After handing over the pancakes, Shalem devoutly rubbed his hands, and took out his cherished thick leather-skinned book and flipped through the pages again.
It was a long time before Angel recovered a little. Because Shalem was reading and Nausica was meditating, Angel was careful not to disturb the two while he ate the pancakes.
After eating the dried pancakes, Angel saw Nausica has finished her meditation and also began eating the dried food prepared by Shalem.
Shalem said, “If I didn’t bring food with me, would you two go on starving without food?”
Nausica nodded indifferently: “When I used to be a pirate in the waters of Blackberry, I often skipped meals for several days and nights and didn’t care.”
Angel had planned to go to Phantom Island. He had planned for housekeeper Goode to arrange a room with accommodations and meals for him, but who knows his plan could not keep up with the changes.
At this point, Nausica said, “It’s common to be hungry for a few days at sea. But if there’s no water to drink, that is bad.”
Recalling an extraordinary eventful time and emphasizing the difficulties of water shortage at sea, Nausica turned to Shalem and said. “So, do you have any water with you?”
Shalem said unkindly, “I have a habit of carrying dried food on me for when I am hungry. But I don’t have a habit of carrying water with me when I am thirsty.”
“Well, if there’s no water, it’s hard to eat dried food.”
Angel suddenly said, “Didn’t you learn water system magic? Whichever one you use has water magic.”
Water system magic? Shalem shook his head. “I saw some low-level magic records in the High Cloud Library. The lowest water system magic is a level 1 magic… I only know a few level 0 magic spells now.”
Nausica also shook her head. She also learned level 0 magic, and less than Shalem. She mainly focused more on her body in order to prepare for her integration of blood.
“What about cleansing? Have you learned this yet?” Asked Angel.
“I’ve learned this, but there’s no water magic in it.” Shalem said.
Angel raised his eyebrow: “Have you brought any pens and paper?”
Shalem: “I brought some!”
Angel took the pen and paper, writes a row of data sets onto the paper and handed it to Shalem.
“According to this row of data, input it into the magic formula and build a magic model and try casting it.”
Shalem looked at the paper in front of him and did not take it: “Is this spell data?”
Angel nodded.
“The organization has stipulated that spell data… purchased from the High Cloud Library may not be disseminated in private.”
Angel smiled. “I didn’t buy it from the High Cloud Library. Don’t worry.”
When Shalem heard this, he was happy to take it. Any kind of spell is very valuable to apprentices. How could he be unhappy if he could get one for free?
“If you didn’t buy it from the High Cloud Library, did you happen to purchase it from the underground market?” Shalem happily picked up the paper and built the magic model represented by the data.
“No, I derived it myself.”
Derive… yourself?! Shalem’s action stopped, and Nausica looked at Angel in surprise.
Angel looked at their amazed expressions on their faces and frowned slightly. “Didn’t you learn from the spell and understand their structure and arrangement formula?”
Shalem shook his head.
Nausica also shook her head, but her eyes flashed with a glimmer of light: “Did you learn to understand the structure of the spell? Is it okay to apply the magic model summed up by predecessors directly? … Was this what Lord Sanders told you to do?”
Angel’s waved his hands: “It’s not what my mentor told me. I just wanted to know what the foundation of a spell was, so I split the structure of cleansing and deduced another arrangement and combination.”
Shalem: “Speaking of this. I tried deriving one myself, but the Magic Model that I finally calculated didn’t work, and it took me a week.”
Angel shrugged: “The spell data I wrote didn’t work either, but it should be fine for drinking water. I named it, cough, Water Supply.” Angel describes in detail the effect and principle behind the Water Supply spell.
Hearing the words from Angel, the two were slightly surprised. If only a little bit of water was summoned, it would be within their scope of acceptance.
At first, Shalem initially thought Angel had derived a perfect magic model.
If it’s a perfect magic model, this is a feat to be remembered! However, the history of Wizards was so long that almost all combinations and arrangements of the spell have been deduced by predecessors. Perfect models are a rarity.
