Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2232: Chapter 2233: Golden Apple

The moment Jack’s words fell, a gentle breeze brushed across his cheek, and at the same time, the voice of Soft Wind Uranus reached Angel’s ear.

Soft Wind Uranus conveyed a few words to Angel through the wind.

It was also an invitation for Angel to meet, and to indicate that the flourishing Gleyme was also nearby.

It seems that after watching the theatrical Shadow Box, Soft Wind Uranus had made a decision and called His Highness Flourish over from the Green Field, probably ready to give Angel a response.

Thinking of this, Angel nodded to Jack, ”Alright, I’ll head over now.”

Returning to the palace at the mountain top, this time Angel only brought the drowsy Toby inside, while Dangross stayed outside the palace gates, chatting with Arnott, Cubic, and others.

Upon entering the palace, the first thing Angel saw was a verdant silhouette of a tree standing amidst the clouds and mist.

It was a thriving apple tree, which from afar seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the tree was surrounded by glimmering green mist, as if the trunk was clad in green armor.

Moreover, the fruit it bore was exceptional, glowing with a golden light and exuding an enticing sweet aroma. Even the drowsy Toby was captivated by the fragrance, opening his eyes and staring intently at the few golden apples hanging on the treetop.

Hearing footsteps behind it, the strong trunk of the apple tree... began to move.

As the apple tree turned, it revealed deep-set features on its trunk and cast a probing gaze at Angel.

While Angel was making eye contact with the apple tree, Soft Wind Uranus, who was majestically seated on the high throne, stood up, left the throne, and stepped down the stairs, arriving between Angel and the apple tree.

Soft Wind Uranus gave Angel a gentle smile and introduced the apple tree’s identity: ”This is His Highness Flourish of the Green Field.”

After the introduction, Soft Wind Uranus manipulated the wind to transform the surrounding clouds into a cloud cushion, sitting down in place.

The flourishing Gleyme had initially been focusing on Angel, wanting to closely observe Angel, but was later attracted by Soft Wind Uranus’s series of actions.

When conversing with it, Soft Wind Uranus sat high upon the throne.

However, as soon as Angel arrived, it immediately descended from the throne, and the accumulated majesty evaporated in an instant, directly sitting on equal ground with Angel.

The implications of this, the flourishing Gleyme understood very well.

Soft Wind Uranus was conveying a message to it, that it holds Angel in high regard and respect.

Since Soft Wind Uranus had shown an attitude and even subtly reminded it, the flourishing Gleyme naturally would not put on airs, and its gaze toward Angel softened.

”I heard from Teacher Kamil that you have been at the Forbidden Peak these past two days, have you gained anything?”

Soft Wind Uranus seemed to be making small talk, but Angel noticed that it dropped the ”mister” from his title, instead addressing him directly as ”you.” This was not out of disrespect but rather an attempt to diminish the distance, trying to foster a closer relationship, thus making a point of the manner of address. After all, always using the term ”mister” would sound somewhat distant.

From this one change in address, Angel could generally deduce that Soft Wind Uranus’s forthcoming answer would not be adversarial, probably adopting Mister Magu’s suggestion.

Though thousands of thoughts raced through Angel’s mind, his expression remained unchanged: ”Yes, I’ve been completely captivated by Mr. Feng’s paintings in these past few days. These artworks have been quite rewarding for me. However, there is one painting that leaves me a bit puzzled, and I’d like to hear Soft Wind’s opinion on it.”

”No problem, once we’re done here, we can go take a look together.”

After a brief exchange, the small talk was over, and Soft Wind Uranus shifted the conversation directly to the main topic, speaking about its impressions after watching the theatrical Shadow Box trilogy over the past two days.

It spoke in great detail, covering almost every part of the trilogy.

Moreover, with each part of the trilogy, Soft Wind Uranus would engage in discussions with the flourishing Gleyme, exchanging their views with one another.
