Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 1966: Chapter 1967: Adding Ink

After Angel left the Marine Theater, he walked along the path towards Pat Manor.

When Angel pushed open the study door and saw Sanders, he was sitting at the desk, eyes closed and completely still.

However, it was only his body that was still; around him, an energy vortex was forming. An energy vortex led by illusion nodes.

Around Sanders, illusions appeared and disappeared ceaselessly; one moment a towering mother tree, the next a myriad of dream plant fairies, then a sprawling forest stretching to the horizon, or an endless wild barren shoal...

It looked incredibly magnificent, playing a basic sorcery with the texture of a spell technique.

Indeed, Angel could instantly tell it was basic sorcery, basic illusion technique.

Yet Sanders could turn basic illusion technique into something spectacular. At first glance, it seemed as if Sanders was brewing a powerful spell technique.

Nowadays, Angel could indeed transform basic illusion techniques to appear like real illusionary realms. But to effortlessly conjure and extinguish countless illusions like Sanders, Angel still lacked some practice.

After about two minutes, the illusion vortex around Sanders gradually faded, and he finally opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes, Sanders nodded to Angel, indicating to wait for a moment. He used spiritual power to lift a pen and used the recording technique on a handbook. The pen floated and immediately started writing lines of text at a rapid pace on the blank paper.

At this moment, Sanders also lifted his head: ”I just saw the Tree Spirit hurriedly going to the meeting venue, whispering with Lord Rhein. Is it because you solved the mystery of the relic?”

Angel: ”Not solved, it’s still bewildering. However, I’ve confirmed that a hidden room must exist in the relic.”

Then, Angel explained how he repaired the magic pattern on the door and revealed a three-dimensional map, using illusions to make it more direct for Sanders to see.

After listening, Sanders sighed slightly: ”No wonder Tizarro would say the study is a bedroom, turns out there’s such a story behind it.”

After the sigh, Sanders felt a slight regret. Indeed, just as Angel said, although they’ve confirmed there’s a hidden room, there’s still no progress. Even if they know the hidden room is parallel to the study, the way to enter it may not necessarily be in the study.

If their search for the hidden room progressed by 0% before discovering the three-dimensional map, then with the map, the progress increased by at most 1%. The map only told them of the room’s existence; the real way to enter still needed to be found by themselves, and they had already confirmed the room’s existence, so there’s nearly no difference in progress.

”I’ll take a look at the map myself later, hoping for some progress.”

After saying this, Sanders diverted the topic and talked with Angel about the Bud. He already knew about the message Principal Muse sent via Angel, and his discussion unfolded from there.

Basically, what Sanders talked about was almost the same as what Angel thought.

Since the major witcher organizations of the Southern Domain used the Star Observing Day to discover the Bud’s movements before it could plague the Southern Domain Wizard World, eradicating these believers is much easier.

Once the major witcher organizations unite and formally launch the eradication action against the Bud, its believers will be too busy dealing with the war to spare any attention to Angel.

When the Bud’s enemies are the entire world, how would the Bud specifically target an inconspicuous person in this world?

Once the war begins, Angel won’t need to dodge the spotlight.

After expressing his perspective, Angel shared some views of his own, aligning with Sanders’s thoughts. Sanders listened, his eyes reflecting appreciation: ”It seems that in terms of crisis awareness, you’re gradually becoming more like a wizard.”

Knowing Angel had such foresight, Sanders didn’t dwell further.

As they finished discussing this topic, the pen automatically writing on the handbook fell with a ”click” onto the table.

Angel glanced over. Though it was just a glance, with his current memory, he saw almost everything.

Sanders wasn’t deliberately recording in secret and clearly didn’t intend to conceal it. So, although Angel saw the content, he didn’t feel much guilt.

The contents recorded on the handbook were Sanders’s experience with using illusions, recording the construction progress of a virtual magic power framework.

A sprawling record report was written, mostly about the current energy system’s defects and the errors to be corrected after upgrading the energy system.

The last line concluded: Virtual magic power framework construction progress 78%, estimated upgrade in five days.

Though Angel didn’t comprehend the entire content, he understood the final conclusion. It seemed that in five days, Sanders would conduct a significant upgrade to the basic framework. By then, the virtual magic power in the Mind Space should increase, allowing the use of more advanced sorcery, rather than focusing only on 0-level sorcery and basic sorcery like now.

Sanders let Angel finish reading the records and didn’t plan to explain, as the conclusion was clear. After seeing Angel shift his gaze from the handbook, Sanders gradually put it away and then looked at Angel: ”You should know why I asked you to come this time, right?”

Although Sanders’ expression didn’t change, Angel sensed from his tone that it was time to discuss the main topic.

”Is it about the opening of the Wilderness of Dreams?” Angel said without hesitation.

He had previously thought about this. Earlier, when the Tree Spirit senior was complaining to Lord Rhein, hoping the Tea Party venue wouldn’t be inside the Eternal Tree, Sanders had once cast Angel a meaningful look.

Combining the current emotions, Angel roughly inferred that Sanders seemed intent on doing something with the Tea Party venue.

The Tea Party venue was something even Lord Rhein had to compromise on, why would Sanders aim to do something with it? Also, where could there be room to work?

Faced with these growing questions, Angel almost immediately realized.

- The Wilderness of Dreams.

Only the Wilderness of Dreams could offer such vast space. Only the Wilderness of Dreams could construct any fantastical splendor you desire, catering to the varying tastes of witches.

But, the Wilderness of Dreams was still in a closed state.

In this context, the answer became clear; the meaningful look from Sanders was undoubtedly expressing the... opening of the Wilderness of Dreams.
