Warlock Apprentice

Therefore, Sanders instructed Angel not to disclose such Alchemical Illusions until he reached a level of power where he had “a certain degree of influence” within the Wizards’ Realm.

Now, the very reason he offered it to Baltica was because he genuinely did not know what else could move her.

He thought that since Baltica was not of the Wizards’ Realm, trading the Ouroboros with her was harmless. He hadn’t said that these three alchemical ornaments came from his own hand, and if Baltica inquired, he could deflect by claiming they were made by someone else and came into his possession by chance.

There was another point; Sanders had once said that before the entity slumbering in the depths of that sea awoke, Baltica would not leave the Land of Repose.

As long as she did not leave the Land of Repose, the matter regarding the mysterious artifacts, even if it did reach the Wizards’ Realm, could be a distant issue. By then, perhaps his power would have reached that of an Official Wizard, strong enough to handle the consequences brought by the mysterious artifacts.

Angel’s thoughts were spinning rapidly, but suddenly, he heard a stir from Baltica across from him.

He saw that Baltica had already exited the Alchemical Illusion and had placed the ring back on the table.

“`

Of the three alchemy ornaments, this was the one that took Baltica the least amount of time, probably not even five minutes.

Her expression was very calm, and Angel could not discern any clues from her demeanor.

Could it be that she did not like the Ouroboros? Or perhaps, non-wizard extraordinary beings had no feelings for mystical artifacts?

Angel’s brows were tightly furrowed, and in those brief seconds, he had already begun to wonder if Baltica didn’t take a liking to the Ouroboros, did he have anything else to trade with her?

If nothing else worked, he still had the Ocean Rhythm. After all, he could not cut off his right hand, nor could he hand over Toby.

While Angel was having various thoughts, what he did not know was that Baltica inside was already experiencing tremendous upheavals.

For Baltica, the first two ornaments were intriguing items to alleviate her boredom, and she liked them very much, even thinking that if the third one could also please her, she wouldn’t mind giving Angel a chance to trade.

But who would have known, what she thought would be another similarly intriguing curio turned out to be a thunderous revelation.

The Ouroboros was not on the same level as the first two items! If the crystal harp and the Monument of the Strange Loop were like little demons, then the Ouroboros was on the level of a Demon God.

The Ouroboros brought Baltica an immense shock; she had lived for many years, and she had experienced countless times the edge of life and death, developing an almost prescient “sense of foreboding.”

When she activated the Ouroboros and perceived an odd concept within it, Baltica had a thought: if she fully grasped this odd concept, it would be of tremendous help to her! Even, it could take her a step further!

Having stayed in the Land of Repose for so long, her powers had improved extremely slowly, but this strange concept could take her to the next level, and that astonished her.

She had actually already decided to make this deal with Angel; the reason she kept a calm facade was actually to gain more benefits from this trade—

“These three trinkets are quite interesting, full of cunning, it seems you came specifically for me.” Baltica said with a smile, her words laced with a playful complaint, and coupled with her extremely beautiful voice, it also made Angel’s heart waver.

Angel now understood why Sanders once said, Baltica was a more charming existence than a Succubus. Her every move was elegant, her looks conveying allure, and her voice, coy and flirtatious, showcased her unique charm in every aspect.

“Music soothes my defenses, games relieve my boredom, and this…” Baltica picked up the serpent-biting-tail ring, shaking it between her fingers: “this piques my curiosity to explore.”

“Each one is very targeted, making me quite fond of them.”

Angel finally regained his senses from that beautiful voice. When Baltica said they were targeted, it wasn’t really wrong. He had already planned what to do on his way to the Land of Repose, though targeting specifically wasn’t his intention, as all three ornaments were previously crafted by him.
