Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2836: Chapter 2837: In the Name of Love

Seeing Angel still hesitating and looking doubtful, Olao continued, ”Maybe the master has something to say, and wants to use you to speak to both me and Adanis.”

After a pause, Olao said, ”I beg you to come in and take a look... Adanis and I have been waiting for too long.”

At this point, Olao suddenly extended his hand to cover his chest, as wisps of dark red aura dispersed from his chest.

”I swear on my life, I guarantee that you won’t be harmed inside the Qingkong Poetry Room.” Olao looked at Angel: ”Even if I misunderstood, and you’re unable to enter the Qingkong Poetry Room, I’ll still ensure your safety.”

Adanis turned her head sharply: ”Olao, you!”

The latter part of Olao’s words targeted the ”contract” Adanis mentioned before. Even if Angel couldn’t enter the Qingkong Poetry Room, Olao would ensure his safety. This meant that if Adanis truly intended to harm Angel, Olao would stand by Angel’s side. These two spirits who had been together in the Qingkong Poetry Room for millennia might even end up fiercely opposing each other because of this.

It could be said that Olao’s oath was full of sincerity.

Adanis suppressed her inner anger and looked at Olao: ”Are you so sure he can bring news of Augustine?”

Olao: ”I’m not sure, but it’s at least a hope.”

Adanis: ”Hope? Relying on that unreliable Augustine? Ridiculous.”

This time, Olao was silent for a long, long time, so long that Adanis thought Olao wouldn’t answer her at all. Then Olao finally spoke in a very, very low voice: ”... Adanis, I’m running out of time to wait.”

Adanis’s pupils slightly contracted when she heard this. She initially wanted to argue, but at that moment, she held back and instead asked, ”What do you mean?”

Olao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Adanis’s questioning expression, he eventually just sighed softly and shook his head: ”It’s nothing.”

Adanis pondered for a moment: ”Is the energy in your body out of balance again? If you’re worried about that, don’t worry, I’ll help you.”

Olao shook his head: ”A drop in the bucket.”

Adanis looked disbelieving, thinking that Olao was deliberately playing the victim to get Angel in.

Olao didn’t explain further, just said plainly: ”There are a thousand kinds of difficulties in the world, and an equal number of variables. Even if this time you used one method to solve it, the next time when you encounter the same difficulty, you may not be able to use the previous method again because variables are everywhere.”

”Like rowing against the current, external forces can support you temporarily, but when the current suddenly turns into a monstrous wave, even the strongest force against nature’s might... and the might of time, will become a drop in the bucket.”

”So, to avoid being worn down by the passing time, to ensure the doomsday moment doesn’t arrive prematurely, could you let me seize the future myself this time?”

Adanis was stunned, and she really wanted to ask what was going on with Olao. But for some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

In the past, Adanis, in the name of love, tested the descendants of Noah again and again, banishing them repeatedly. Then she justified it to Olao, saying these people could never become the ’solution’ of the Qingkong Poetry Room.

Olao silently went along, while Adanis felt a bit flustered but quickly repeated, ”Don’t worry, they can’t resolve it, but I can help you.”

Over and over, Adanis used this reason to persuade Olao and also convince herself.

In the end, Adanis herself believed in her own excuses.

However, after millennia had passed, Adanis had grown strong enough to leave the Qingkong Poetry Room at any time, even leaving the Underground Aqueduct through the Mirror Domain. But Olao was still trapped in the Qingkong Poetry Room, with all the exits of the Mirror Domain refusing him, leaving only the Qingkong Poetry Room’s entrance and exit open.

Even so, Adanis believed she could solve Olao’s problem given more time.

But now, Olao suddenly said he couldn’t wait much longer.

Initially, Adanis thought Olao was lying, but upon reflection, what if he wasn’t lying—what if what he said was true?

The mere thought of this possibility made Adanis panic. She couldn’t imagine Olao disappearing or what her world would be like without him.

When panic rose from the depths of her heart, those walls she built with ”self-righteousness” collapsed with a crash.

Behind the walls lay the rationality that Adanis had deliberately sealed away.

Thus, a peculiar situation arose. Amidst the panic, rationality returned.

Rationality told Adanis: You made a mistake.

Olao gave you millennia, and you ”in the name of love” tied up Olao for millennia. Do you want to keep him tied up further?

Olao, for the first time, showed vulnerability in front of you. He’s asking for your help.

This time, he wants to seize the future himself.

Do you really want to shatter his only hope?

When ”rationality” questioned Adanis, facing Olao again, she really couldn’t utter the word ”refuse.” She didn’t even know what to say, just staring blankly at Olao.

On the other side, Olao looked at the suddenly silent Adanis and her eyes filled with confusion, and he smiled, using his usual casual tone: ”Why does it get sadder the more I talk? Even if it’s a drop in the bucket, that won’t be for many years. I shouldn’t have mentioned it now. Alas, my mouth just can’t help it.”

”But Adanis, since you’re not saying anything, I’ll take that as your agreement.”

”I believe what you did for me in the past came from the heart. But this time, I want to handle it myself. If I can’t, who else can I rely on but you?”

Looking at the smiling expression on Olao’s face, Adanis didn’t know what to say. How could she not understand that Olao was intentionally using this tone to keep her from being trapped by past grievances?

Adanis turned her head, giving a cold snort: ”As you wish. I’ll see for myself if the future you want really exists.”

After speaking, Adanis stepped back and sat down at the long table a few meters away, no longer casting a cold glare at Angel and the others but instead, like an outsider, watching everything unfold before her eyes.

Adanis’s actions amounted to tacit consent.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Olao’s lips. He understood Adanis’s obsessions.

For Adanis to let go of her obsessions at this moment was truly remarkable in Olao’s eyes.

Of course, to outsiders, Adanis may seem just difficult. But outsiders remain outsiders. Having spent millennia with Adanis, Olao understood her actions better and was willing to tolerate some of her whims. Now, seeing Adanis suddenly ”grow up” a bit, Olao didn’t think she was difficult, but rather felt a sense of ”the little girl has finally grown up.”

This was a kind of familial understanding and tolerance.

With no more obstacles from Adanis, Olao turned back to Angel: ”Sorry for letting you see a joke. My vow remains unchanged; whether entering or inside the Qingkong Poetry Room, I’ll ensure your safety. As for outside of it, my capabilities are limited and I can’t assist you much, but I believe you have ways to leave safely. Or rather, you could leave directly from the Qingkong Poetry Room as well.”

Olao’s words were filled with sincerity.

Earlier, they speculated that there must be no spatial restrictions inside the Sunny Sky Poetry Room, so they should be able to forcibly leave using the Plane Corridor.

And Olao directly confirmed this, even outright telling them that if they used the Plane Corridor to leave, he would ensure their safety.

In other words, they didn’t have to worry about future troubles anymore.

And all of this was just in the hope that Angel could come in and enter the Sunny Sky Poetry Room.

At that moment, everyone looked at Angel, waiting for his response.

After weighing the pros and cons, Angel finally nodded and agreed to Olao’s request.

The main reason was that Angel was very concerned about Olao’s mention of the aura left on him by Augustine. If entering the Sunny Sky Poetry Room could indeed resolve this aura, it would be for the best.

However, although Angel decided to enter the Sunny Sky Poetry Room with Black Earl and Vay, he did not forget about Dox and Kaier.

He hoped Olao could also ensure the safety of Dox and Kaier.

At least, if a crisis really arose, they would have time to open the Plane Corridor to leave.

After hearing Angel’s words, Olao pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Adanis as if he wanted to say something.

However, before Olao could speak, Adanis directly said: ”I said, do as you please, don’t ask me. If this person can really enter the Sunny Sky Poetry Room, then the covenant is equivalent to being broken, letting a few more people in also just slaps the face of the bastard who made the covenant.”

Adanis’s meaning was very clear, if Angel could enter, then she would allow Olao to open the back door, remove the wall barrier, and let Dox and Kaier come in together.

If Angel couldn’t get in, then that’s another story.

Angel originally only hoped Olao could guarantee the safety of Dox and Kaier, but he didn’t expect this pleasant surprise that they might also have the chance to enter together.

Naturally, Angel was delighted. Dox and Kaier were also very happy, Kaier was excited about being able to see the remnant site firsthand, while Dox was thinking about whether he could gain some benefits from inside.

However, Black Earl’s emotions were somewhat complex.

Clearly, this place was considered the ancestral home of the Noah Clan, yet the final decision on who could enter was not made by the Noah Clan members, but by two gatekeeping spirits.

Although Black Earl felt somewhat conflicted, he didn’t say anything. After all, he and Vay would have no way to come here if they hadn’t tagged along with Kaier’s key and Angel’s exploration team, and they might not even have known about the existence of the remnant site.

So, they have no right to prevent Kaier and Dox from entering.

After confirming that everyone had the opportunity to enter the Sunny Sky Poetry Room, the next step was entry time.

Black Earl and Vay went in first, and at the moment of entry, they could clearly feel a wall barrier preventing their advance.

The appearance of the barrier not only impeded their progress but also suddenly made their bloodlines boil and become active. As the aura of the bloodline spread out, the obstruction on the barrier disappeared immediately.

Black Earl and Vay entered the Sunny Sky Poetry Room without a ripple.

There was no dispute over them entering the Sunny Sky Poetry Room, given their Noah bloodline.

Following their entry, it was Angel’s turn.

Whether Angel could enter related to Olao’s expectations of the ”future,” Adanis’s previously built confidence, as well as whether Dox and Kaier could tag along into the Sunny Sky Poetry Room.

So, at this moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Angel.

Would Angel be able to step into the Sunny Sky Poetry Room in the presence of a barrier? Or would he eventually be excluded from the Sunny Sky Poetry Room? Would Olao’s fantasy ultimately turn into bubbles?

Under everyone’s gaze, Angel walked toward the door of the Sunny Sky Poetry Room.

Compared to the nervousness of others, Angel himself was rather calm, it didn’t matter whether he could get in or not. Of course, it would be best if he could enter, because perhaps Augustine’s aura could dissipate?

However, does he really have Augustine’s lingering aura on him? Angel was still a bit skeptical.

With a nonchalant attitude, Angel quickly walked up to the door of the Sunny Sky Poetry Room.

Like before with Black Earl and Vay, Angel paused when encountering the wall barrier.

However, whereas previously Black Earl and Vay relied on their boiling bloodline to dissolve the barrier, Angel was well aware that he did not have Noah bloodline, but is there another way to enter given the barrier?

As Angel pondered, he did not notice that the barrier had silently vanished.

By the time Angel realized it, he was already standing inside the Sunny Sky Poetry Room.

Everyone was shocked as they looked at Angel... among them, Olao was the most delighted, repeatedly muttering, ”I knew it could be done, it definitely could be done...”

Black Earl then flew to Angel’s side and asked in a puzzled tone, ”How... how did you get in?”

Angel was still a bit dazed, hesitated briefly, then shook his head, looking confused, and said, ”I don’t know either.”

While everyone was questioning and shocked, the sound of cracking suddenly came from deep within the Sunny Sky Poetry Room.

Turning to look, they saw a silhouette suddenly appear in the darkness.

Was there a third person in the Sunny Sky Poetry Room?

As Angel was puzzled, the silhouette finally stepped from the dark zone into the light.

Only then did everyone realize that the figure was not a real person, but an Alchemy Golem carrying numerous books in both hands.

The style was similar to the Alchemy Golem encountered in Cicia.

Angel thought it was just an ordinary puppet in the Sunny Sky Poetry Room, oblivious to the fact that Olao and Adanis were looking at this puppet in astonishment.

They certainly knew that there were Alchemy Golems in the Poetry Room, which were attendants of the Poetry Room, receiving outside guests during the brief period the room was open. However, since Augustine and Margaret left, these puppets were stored in the warehouse and hadn’t been moved.

And now, the Alchemy Golem, which hasn’t moved for millennia, has suddenly reappeared?

What on earth is going on?
