At this point, the conversation seemed to have come to an abrupt end, but Wizard didnât stop; instead, he went on to say, âSpeaking of which, I have thought of some matters that I want to discuss with you.;
He has matters to discuss with me? Angel looked at Wizard with puzzlement, waiting for him to speak.
However, Wizard did not immediately begin to speak; instead, he slowly surveyed the room with his eyes, looking at the other people present.
His eyes clearly conveyed an intention to dismiss.
It was then that Isabella stood up: âNow that Black Castle has just experienced a catastrophe and the surface structures need to be rebuilt, itâs a time of rebuilding from ruins, with too much work to be done. I will take my leave for now.â
Isabella had actually wanted to leave as soon as Wizard asked why the Samsara Overture had failed. Sitting here every second felt like an agonizing torture, so when she saw Wizardâs dismissive look, she took the opportunity to leave.
After Isabella finished speaking, she glanced at Angel, her eyes holding a complex expression, âI have some things to discuss with you later. Weâll talk then.â
After Isabella left, Isabelle naturally could not stay in the room and followed her out. Kimberly, although very reluctant to part with the nurturing breeze of the natural cocoon, was overpowered by the circumstances. Facing Wizardâs gaze, she eventually sighed and turned to leave.
âI am going to the back as well,â Sanders stood up as well, as they were actually in the hall of the residence where Sanders and his disciples lived. So when Sanders said he was leaving, he was actually just moving to another room.
Before Sanders left, however, his lips moved slightly, and a covert message reached Angelâs ears.
After hearing Sandersâ message, Angel became rooted to the spot in shock.
When the hall was completely empty, Angel looked towards Wizard, waiting for him to speak.
But, while looking at Wizard, Angel couldnât help but recall the message from Sanders, adding a hint of suspicion to his eyes.
Wizard did not immediately explain why he had Angel stay behind; instead, he smiled and said to him, âYou seem a bit puzzled and want to ask me something, is it something the Wizard just now passed on to you?â
Angelâs expression was somewhat sheepish: âHe is my mentor Sanders. Indeed, he did bring up a few matters just now. However, it is only a minor guess about Lord Wizard.â
âWhy not share it with me?â
Angel hesitated for a moment but still bravely asked: âLord, you mentioned before that you had met King Gumman?â
Wizardâs face showed a sense of nostalgia, and he nodded, âIndeed, he is a quite interesting wizard.â
Interesting? Angel didnât know what Wizard considered interesting, but at least in the Wizardsâ Realm of the Southern Domain, King Gumman was recognized as a brutal, vicious man full of ambition. Such a man was intriguing in Wizardâs eyes, which was hard to understand.
âLord, when you went to see King Gumman, was it to make a transaction with him?â Angel continued to ask.
Wizard nodded again, âCorrect, indeed, there was a transaction.â
Angelâs eyes glazed over for a moment: âWas the content of the transaction that you wanted to have a look at the Crimson Authority?â
Wizard nodded with a smile: âThat is true, I made the transaction with King Gumman to ascertain whether Crimson Authority could go out of control.â
Wizard paused, then said, âGiven King Gummanâs character, he should not have revealed the content of our deal. And the only ones who knew of this transaction, besides King Gumman and myself, would be the one who was stripped of his name. Did he tell you?â
âCorrect, it was Rolando who mentioned it,â Angel nodded.
Angel actually knew about this as well, as Rolando himself had said that the most evil personality that had emerged in him was due to a deal King Gumman made with a mysterious person.
However, Angel had not connected Wizard with the mysterious person Rolando mentioned, until Sanders passed on the guess to him, spurring him to suddenly realize it.
âSo King Gumman gave him the name Rolando?â Wizard muttered to himself, then continued, âThereâs an evil personality in Rolando, to pry information from him you would need to suppress the evil personality, I am somewhat surprised you could accomplish that.â
Although Wizard expressed surprise, he did not inquire how Angel had done it; this slightly relieved Angel because if Wizard had really asked, the existence of Wilderness of Dreams might also have been exposed.
With the conversation come this far, Angel finally confirmed that Wizard was indeed the mysterious person who had made a transaction with King Gumman and then used Dark Melody to strip Rolando of his true name, and even forcibly caused the emergence of Rolandoâs most wicked personality.
Having confirmed this piece of information, Angelâs image of Wizard became even more profound.
Whether Wizard was good or bad, Angel still could not determine. But at the very least, he knew one thing: Wizard seemed indeed to be a wizard of the benevolent sort, at least when he made the transaction with King Gumman, he didnât bully the weak or covet the Crimson Authority and, in the end, he complied with the content of the deal.
From this point of view, Wizardâs credibility did indeed seem to have increased.
Wizard: âIs that all you wanted to ask?â
Angel nodded; indeed, he only wanted to confirm the identity.
Wizard nodded: âSince you have finished asking, now itâs my turn to speak⊠Are you planning to leave the Southern Domain and go to the Origin World?â
Angelâs expression went blank; he had been apprehensive, thinking that Wizard was going to ask about some of the secrets he had deeply hidden. But unexpectedly, the matter Wizard spoke of had nothing to do with what he had imagined.
âAh? Head to the Origin World?â Angel repeated, somewhat dazed.
Frost nodded, âDonât you want to re-enter the mysterious Domain? In the knowledge-impoverished Southern Domain, thatâs quite difficult to achieve. I can take you to the Origin World, as a way to repay you for sharing the alchemy process with me.â
Angel looked down at the natural cardamom breeze that was still on the table: âIsnât the cardamom breeze already a repayment?â
âItâs for me to judge the value of the repayment. I think, the cardamom breeze is not enough.â Frost said, âMoreover, I do hope that one day, you will step into the mysterious Domain.â
âWhat is your answer?â
Angel shook his head almost without thinking, âI donât plan to leave yet, there are still unfinished matters in the Southern Domain.â
âAre you sure?â Frost did not expect Angel to refuse so decisively, âNow that the transmission between the Southern Domain and the Origin World has been severed, if you want to reach the Origin World by your own strength, the spatial-temporal distance is not something that can be resolved in a few years. As long as you agree, I can take you to the Origin World when I leave.â
If it were someone else, they might have been tempted by Frostâs words. After all, resources and knowledge determine everything. A Wizard who wants to go further wonât have much future staying in the Southern Domain and will eventually have to leave.
If it had been the former Sanders, he probably would have agreed.
But Frost didnât know that Angel had already mastered another shortcut through the Origin World, which was the phase gate in the ancient Wei City of the Continent of Yuantan!
Using the phase gate to reach other phase surfaces of the Abyss, and then use those to access the Wizardsâ Realm of the four directions, and from there teleport to the Origin World.
Moreover, Angel wasnât lying; he still had some unfinished business in the Southern Domain.
For example, Jonâs illness, the family matters, and many tedious affairs, such as the promise made to Wodell, the promise made to Moro that had yet to be fulfilled, and the unexplored Tidal World⊠etc.
Angel would definitely go to the Origin World, and that time might not be too far off.
But definitely not now.
âIâm sure. I will go to the Origin World, but not now,â Angel replied with conviction.
Frost looked deeply at Angel, seeing not a hint of wavering in his expression. This development somewhat surprised him.
Regardless of what Angel was thinking, Frost was sure of one thing: changing Angelâs mind would probably be very difficult.
Frost sighed inwardly, âAlright, I respect your decision.â
âHowever, the repayment I mentioned is still valid. Since you do not need me to escort you out of the Southern Domain, I can repay you in other ways. If you have any requests, feel free to make them to me.â
Angel paused for a moment, not expecting Frost to be so amenable.
Seeing Frost looking at him, Angel felt some hesitation in his heart. He didnât know what to ask for, as it was hard to gauge this measure.
Even though he had many things he wanted to ask for, he was afraid of exceeding the scale in Frostâs heart.
After weighing his thoughts for a long time, Angel finally said, âI heard you mention before that you went to see King Gumman because you wanted to see if the Crimson Authority had become uncontrollable?â
Frost nodded, âTo be precise, whether thereâs a possibility of it becoming uncontrollable.â
âMay I know what you mean by âuncontrollableâ?â Angel asked curiously. Although he had come into very close contact with the mysterious Domain before, his understanding of the Mysterious Object was still very superficial.
If not for Rolando mentioning âuncontrollable,â he wouldnât have thought that Mysterious Objects could be uncontrollable.
Frost didnât expect Angel to ask about this. His eyes conveyed complex emotions, and this âignorantâ question made him reminisce about the past once again.
An Alchemist who doesnât even know the type or level of Mysterious Objects has come into such close contact with the mysterious Domain!
Should he call this fearless, or ignorant?
But the luck is indeed good.
If other Alchemists heard Angel asking such a question, they probably would have wanted to strangle him.
How could they be at ease when such an Alchemist has reached places others find hard to reach?
Luckily, the person Angel is facing now isnât one of the Alchemists, but Frost.
Though Frost wouldnât be as extreme as other Alchemists, he still felt a sense of frustration that fate was toying with him.
He sighed and slowly began to speak.
