Warlock Apprentice

“Both rewards are very impressive, enough to make even True Knowledge Wizards envious. Especially the Moon Chapter; the knowledge hidden by Frostmoon includes that left by past Legendary Wizards, and the scope is very broad, certainly containing useful information for oneself.” After Sanders finished explaining, he looked at Angel:

“Although Lord Monty has returned to the Abyss and hasn’t directly mentioned in this draft copy that he wants to see you, the implication of this award is indeed an invitation to meet him, and not for him to seek you out, but for you to take the initiative to find him.”

“What do you think? Are you planning to go, or not?”

Angel had realized upon seeing the message that Lord Monty was tempting him with a reward, inviting him into a trap. Moreover, this was a promise Lord Monty had himself made in Lassudral, leaving no room for fault.

But as to whether or not to go… Angel didn’t hesitate for a moment, nodding decisively.

“Go, of course I’ll go!”

Sanders guessed that Angel would go, because although it was a blatant enticement, it didn’t state that Angel must go alone. As a core member of the Barbarian Cave, Angel could use this as leverage to bring powerful individuals with him, such as Lord Rhein. In that case, Lord Monty naturally wouldn’t resort to overly aggressive methods, nor would he cause harm to Angel’s safety.

Even though Sanders expected Angel’s agreement, Angel’s prompt response was still somewhat unexpected.

And for Angel, the reason he reacted so swiftly was actually very simple —

The Frost’s Bloom and the Moon Chapter were both rewards being offered to him for free!

Especially the Frost Essence, it’s simply too tempting.

Having just listened to the introduction of Frost Essence, Angel’s mind immediately sprang up with an idea: since the treasured secret realm contains so many spoils from the Frostmoon’s years of pioneering the Pan-Dimensional Plane, he could use the Dream Conch to bring all the items into the Wilderness of Dreams, and then take his time to research them.

Moreover, since one cannot bring Mysterious Objects into the Wilderness of Dreams… he could also use this to determine which item was a dust-covered Mysterious Object.

When the time came for him to leave Frost Essence, he could simply pick out and take away a Mysterious Object, wouldn’t that be a clear gain?

So, just by considering the reward from Frost Essence alone, Angel decided to agree.

Not to mention there was another Moon Chapter, which also made Angel quite covetous. To a wizard, knowledge is of utmost importance. The ability to select knowledge at will from the deep reserves of the Wizards’ Alliance secret library is simply a temptation that no wizard could resist.

After listening to Angel’s inner monologue, Sanders was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected that even while he was still contemplating why Angel had agreed so readily, Angel was already thinking about the Mysterious Objects of the Frostmoon.

Not just eyeing one, but wanting to sweep through the entire Frostmoon’s secret vault and study at his leisure in the Wilderness of Dreams.

Sanders let out a chuckle, but he quite agreed with Angel’s way of thinking, as it was indeed feasible. Studying Transcendent objects from different planes would be of great help for Angel’s path in Alchemy.

“However, although I plan to go, it’s not right now,” Angel shrugged his shoulders. He knew very well that if he went now, he would only be manipulated and would not have a say of his own, “I plan to go after my promotion.”

“Promotion? Are you so confident of success?” Sanders raised an eyebrow.

Angel couldn’t give a definite answer to this question.

Whether his promotion would be successful was still an unknown. But after Angel had solidified the Gate Model, he had not only seen the path, but he had also felt the swell of the Magical Core.

Up to this point, that swelling feeling had not only not subsided, but it was also increasing with each day of Angel’s meditation. This meant that Angel’s energy had reached the level needed for promotion.

After years of development, wizard civilization had already established the rigid requirements for advancing to become an Official Wizard, which are that energy, body, and soul must all reach a certain standard.

Angel’s energy had already reached the promotional level; his soul and body had not only reached the standard but far surpassed it.

So, according to Angel’s own estimation, the possibility of his success was very high.
