Warlock Apprentice

Rekton: ”I discovered in a secret book that in the Secret World, there’s a family that seems to possess a special alchemical method called Dark Alchemy. The name sounds a bit like the Darkening Technique, so I plan to check if there’s any connection.”

Feng knew of Rekton’s obsession with the Darkening Technique, so he understood Rekton’s actions, but...

”Are you sure you want to go to the Secret World? It’s quite dangerous. I once saw records about the Secret World in the Temple of the Oracle... You should know about the Tyand series of rituals? It’s said that the Evil God Tyand worshipped is from the Secret World, and there are quite a number of high-energy lives there.”

Rekton: ”I know, I checked the situation of the Secret World before departing. The most terrifying part of the Secret World is the enigmatic surface, while the mortal surface is still normal and not too dangerous. The Northern Territory Wizards’ Realm even has a few wizard families that seem to have migrated to the surface of the Secret World. I’m going to the surface, not the enigmatic surface.”

With Rekton’s assurance, Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief. On the long road of seeking truth, Rekton was a rare friend who resonated with him, and he did not wish for Rekton to come to harm because of adventure.

”Since you understand, I won’t say more.”

Then Feng chatted with Rekton for a while longer before preparing to close the communication channel. Although Rekton was near the Shell World, such communication across realms was so energy-consuming that even a Legendary Wizard found it hard to bear.

”That’s all for now. Let’s talk later when there’s something... huh?”

Just as Feng was about to end the chat, he suddenly paused.

Rekton was about to put away the communication when he also stopped: ”Feng, what happened?”

For a while, there was no sound, but the communication channel wasn’t closed.

It wasn’t until three minutes later that Feng replied: ”Nothing, just a small accident.”

Rekton noticed that Feng’s tone was a bit peculiar.

”Do you need my assistance?” Rekton asked.

Feng: ”No, it’s not about the Kingdom of Saint Ysha; it’s that a wisp of my consciousness in the Southern Domain has disappeared.”

”A consciousness left in the Southern Domain? I remember you only left an avatar in the Southern Domain...” Rekton recalled for a moment and seemed to think of something: ”The follow-up of the Book of Kael?!”

Feng nodded, his tone incredulous: ”That’s right, it was indeed an avatar arranged according to the evolution of the Book of Kael.”

Feng murmured softly: ”Such a complex arrangement, with the key in the hands of that old dragon in the Ice Valley, yet in the end, it actually followed the development in the Book of Kael.”

Rekton obviously knew about this as well, and his surprise was no less than Feng’s: ”When you mentioned it to me earlier, I still doubted the ability of the Book of Kael, but now it seems... the Book of Kael indeed lives up to its name.”

Rekton sighed: ”The only pity is that the Mad Hat’s coronation was still given away in the end.”

Feng teased: ”What, you’re still thinking about it?”

Rekton sighed deeply, his meaning clear.

In fact, it wasn’t just Rekton who was thinking about it; Feng, who appeared to be teasing, was actually thinking about it too. He had also considered that if the evolution of the Book of Kael ultimately failed, he would have to retrieve that mysterious magic pattern.

But now, there was no way.

This was the price the Book of Kael ordained, and it also stopped the Demon God’s catastrophe in the Southern Domain.

”The fall of the Demon God’s True Spirit in exchange for a mysterious magic pattern, is also worth it.” While saying this, Feng was still a bit heartbroken, as that was an extremely special mysterious magic pattern.

”Since it’s the price of the Book of Kael, it can’t be reclaimed. But can it be borrowed?” Rekton’s eyes lit up: ”Do you know who obtained the mysterious magic pattern?”

Feng shook his head: ”The Southern Domain is too far away, and the energy of the consciousness in the painting isn’t enough to transmit information back.”

Rekton’s eyes, which had just lit up, dimmed again.

Feng: ”However, if you really want to find that person, it’s not impossible.”

After all, the environment of the Tidal World is still very isolated. If that person wants to find the treasure, they will definitely meet those elemental creatures, leaving many traces.

Or, just directly look for Nami Midori, and you might find that person.
