Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 3122: Chapter 3123: Broye

Luigi hurriedly left the Heart Space.

Angel was also preparing to visit the Wilderness of Dreams to see if there was any progress on the task published yesterday. However, before leaving, he took another look at the young Star Servant in the jug. His eyes were dazed, without any external response, still in the period of ignorance as Empty-hearted People.

Angel was curious about the manifesting abilities of the Hante World and wanted to nurture the Star Servant. But given the current situation, it was still too early. Only when he enters the Enlightenment period of Empty-hearted People, able to interact with the outside world, can the next step proceed.

After temporarily sealing the Star Servant with Illusion Technique, Angel left the Heart Space.

Skillfully logging into the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel changed his location to the New City.

Since Angel delegated the task of collecting musical scores to Lianna for publication, the first person he contacted upon logging in was Lianna.

Lianna did not reply within the tree group but directly threw out an address: Crown Building, thirty-sixth floor.

The Crown Building is near the aerial Rose Garden, a modern skyscraper unquestionably designed by Jon; the design of the Crown Building is simple and orderly, and due to its overly square nature, not all Wizards liked it.

However, Lianna quite liked the Crown Building, even moving her office to the top floor of the building.

Evidently, the place where Lianna invited Angel was her office.

Under the cover of night, Angel flew directly to the top of the Crown Building.

Before Angel could enter the building, he saw Lianna through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Lianna stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, seemingly overlooking the neon night view of the New City, and behind her, two busy figures could be vaguely seen.

When Angel saw Lianna, she also noticed Angel.

Lianna was not surprised by Angel taking the ”shortcut” and gestured to meet in the office.

Angel gestured ”Understood,” then a faint magic power floated around him. The Level 1 Trick, Shadow Passing Technique, allowed Angel to pass through the wall, entering inside.

Angel’s sudden appearance surprised Lianna, but she remained calm. In contrast, the other two in the office were startled... No, not two people, to be precise, it was a flower and a person.

”Mary Sue, it’s been a long time,” Angel greeted with a smile.

Mary Sue, from the Rose Garden, is a fiery red rose with a mouth. Originally, it was sitting at the desk, using vine-formed hands to handle documents; Angel’s sudden appearance made it somewhat dumbfounded.

After a while, Mary Sue reacted, shyly closing its petals, hiding the red lips inside, and bashfully saying, ”Lord Pat, good evening.”

Listening to Mary Sue’s gentle and affectionate young girl’s voice, Angel couldn’t help but smile: Now this is a good rose, completely different from the sleazy Jack Sue bottom rose.

”Mary Sue, you should go out first,” Lianna’s voice came from the side, ”Oh, and remember to take all the documents today, you should know how to handle them.”

Mary Sue gently swayed its flower bud, ”Okay, I’ll leave first then.”

Mary Sue gave a courtesy to Angel and Lianna, then gracefully left.

Once Mary Sue left, Angel turned his gaze to the other person present besides Lianna... From appearance, a sixteen, seventeen-year-old boy.

However, judging a Wizard’s age by appearance is absolutely unreliable. Appearing sixteen or seventeen, but in fact, he might already be decades old...

Short orange-brown hair, as if suffering from fluffy syndrome, standing strand by strand; with a very upright appearance, thin lips but matched with clear light blue eyes, don’t seem cold at all, rather exuding a sense of vitality.

He was wearing soft armor, with a long sword hanging at the waist... The sword was sheathed, but looking at its style seemed quite familiar.

Angel looked at this boy, hesitated for a while, then said, ”You’re... Boullée, right?”

Boullée’s eyes flashed with surprise, nodding hastily, he evidently didn’t expect Angel to know his name.

Seeing Boullée’s nod, Angel didn’t have the relief of recognizing the other’s identity, but looked at Lianna curiously.

Though he hadn’t met Boullée, recognizing the identity was normal.

The music score task required finding an accomplished appreciator, Angel didn’t know such a person, so he asked Lianna for help. Ultimately, Lianna found someone called Boullée for appreciation.

Lianna inviting him must also bring Boullée along. Plus, Lianna let Mary Sue leave but didn’t let this person go, so his identity was basically revealed.

He was the appreciator.

In Angel’s imagination, as an appreciator, Boullée must be a learned talent, familiar with countless musical scores within the thousand years of the Southern Domain, his depth should carry a touch of artistic temperament, not to say as crazy as Luigi, but at least at a glance, one can tell he’s been influenced by art.

Or, a graceful gentleman of learning works too.

But Angel didn’t expect Lianna’s chosen appreciator to have such an image.

In Angel’s view, this Boullée was more like a hot-blooded protagonist in a royal road manga, lacking any artistic vibe.

Hence, Angel’s expression appeared so peculiar upon seeing Boullée.

However, Angel also understood the truth of ”appearances can be deceiving,” despite feeling puzzled internally, he did not bring it up, instead, glanced over to Lianna.

Lianna seemed to see Angel’s hesitation, smiled gently and said, ”Boullée is Miss Ivanna’s student, recently returned from the City of Truth. While in the City of Truth, he reportedly received guidance from Mr. Kundela.”

After hearing Lianna’s introduction, Angel’s internal doubt instantly dissolved.

Yesterday, he heard Lianna saying the appreciator she found was a student of a big name, a genius apprentice. Angel at the time didn’t think who the ’big name’ might be, didn’t expect it to be Ivanna.

’Echoing Sound’ Ivanna, Second Level peak True Knowledge Wizard, belonging to the same generation as Lord Reine, currently stationed in the City of Truth.

From Ivanna’s nickname, one can tell she’s an auditory-type Wizard.

Being Ivanna’s disciple, Boullée must also be an auditory apprentice, skilled in auditory tricks...

Though not every auditory Wizard is an artist, in terms of music appreciation ability, definitely no one can surpass auditory Wizards.

Moreover, Lianna said Boullée received guidance from ”Kundela,” making it even more remarkable.

Kundela, hailing from Extinguished Torch Academy, is a top-tier True Knowledge Wizard on par with Lord Rhein, positioned at the pinnacle of the Southern Domain’s pyramid. Moreover, he is one of the rare Academy Faction members among the elite Wizards. He has a plethora of signature spell creations, and all of his creations are uniquely artistic, such as: Waltz, Circus, and Puppet Show.

Back when in the Abyssal City Lassudral, Mu Ying once used a prop created by Kundela to unleash a Puppet Show.

The Puppet Show, paired with Sanders’ Black Tower Nightmare Realm, directly suppressed the two Great Demons, Barfiment and Minotaur, showcasing the terror of the Puppet Show.

Undoubtedly, Kundela is an absolute master of art. After all, Extinguished Torch Academy wouldn’t admit anyone lacking artistic sense; Kundela, being the top-tier Wizard of the academy, couldn’t possibly misunderstand art.

And the fact that Brye could receive guidance from Kundela already speaks volumes.

While Angel was pondering, Brye bashfully said, ”Lianna, you’re too kind. Lord Kundela simply criticized my spell for being too superficial and didn’t actually guide me.”

Lianna: ”...” This is not embarrassment; you’re just showing off.

Spell creation, is this for apprentices to play with? Even official Wizards can’t easily create spells!

Internally mocking, Lianna suddenly glanced at Angel and instantly felt relieved... No matter how talented Brye is, can he surpass Angel?

Spell creation? Angel not only created spells but actually created a world.

With this thought, Lianna suddenly calmed down.

Having witnessed a super talent, seeing these minor talents doesn’t make much impression.

While Lianna was performing her internal monologue, Angel curiously asked, ”You can create spells?”

Brye: ”It’s not really spell creation; it’s more about combining swordsmanship and music scores to create a few moves. Their power isn’t strong, just at the level of second-level tricks and third-level tricks.”

Hearing Brye’s words, Lianna sneered; indeed, this guy seemed shy, but in reality, he’s a little gray wolf flaunting through self-deprecation.

Let’s be clear: even third-level apprentices don’t necessarily master third-level tricks. The higher the trick level, the longer it takes to learn, and you’re prone to make mistakes that lead to backlash... Oh, now with the Wilderness of Dreams to test mistakes, it has become much better. But even so, learning second-level and third-level tricks takes years.

Just the learning process is this difficult, and creating spells is even harder. Moreover, Brye is not yet thirty, reaching this level, proving he’s an indisputable genius.

”To be rated as third-level tricks is quite good,” Lianna nonchalantly praised, then turned to look at Angel and clicked her tongue.

Though Lianna simply clicked her tongue, expressing no other words, her expression conveyed clearly - unfortunately, compared to Angel, he’s far behind.

Angel: ”...”

As for Lianna’s implicit meaning, Brye didn’t care at all; instead, he looked at Angel with even more admiration.

Witnessing this, Lianna couldn’t help but scoff internally... another admirer.

As the primary overseer of New City, Lianna has seen numerous admirers and admirers of Angel among apprentices. Or rather, anyone accessing the Wilderness of Dreams would surely worship Angel.

This can’t be helped; such a vast and realistic illusionary realm, who wouldn’t admire it – for apprentices who remain ignorant of the Wilderness of Dreams’ truth, assuming it was some form of solidified special illusionary realm.

But then again, Lianna herself felt no different.

The deeper one understands, the more overwhelmed one is by the Wilderness of Dreams’ grandeur and scale, but what Lianna sees is just a tiny fraction. The more distant parts she cannot comprehend at all.

Lianna had heard Ironclad Granny mention that the potential of Wilderness of Dreams could reach above legendary.

This means, as long as Angel avoids accidents, he could potentially become a Legendary Wizard.

She hasn’t even stepped onto the road of True Knowledge; how could she even dream of reaching further legendary status?

Therefore, when Lianna looks at everything Angel created, how could she not be astounded.

While Lianna’s thoughts were scattering, Angel picked up the conversation, smiling as he spoke to Brye: ”Back in my apprentice days, I also tried spell creation, but it was only some Level 0 or basic tricks; anything higher was too challenging.”

”So, Lianna’s right, achieving that is impressive.”

Angel wasn’t stingy with his praise, and what he said wasn’t insincere either.

Back when Angel could create spells, it was largely thanks to the powerful computing power of the Holographic Tablet, whereas Brye achieved this solely on his own, indicating his uncommon talent.

Think about it: anyone taken as a student by Evan Nya wouldn’t be mediocre.

Angel’s compliment made Brye very excited, his eyes sparkling even brighter. Nonetheless, faced with two official Wizards, Brye dared not revel in his inner excitement, so he took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to celebrate.

”Regarding the task of searching for music scores, you needn’t worry; Brye can definitely accomplish it well.” At this point, Lianna returned to her senses and began steering the conversation back on track.

Angel smiled: ”I absolutely believe in Brye’s ability.”

With these words, Angel looked at Brye.

Brye immediately understood, pulling out a stack of parchment filled with music scores from the desk nearby.

”Since the task was assigned until now, I’ve collected over a hundred music scores. Setting aside the popular ones and those of distant origin, in terms of preciousness alone, I’ve narrowed it down to these six.”

Angel took the scores, glanced briefly... Hmm, can’t understand them.

He calmly looked up at Brye: ”Which of these six scores do you think is the best? By excellent, I mean not only precious but also instantly captivating when performed.”

Brye pondered for a moment, then pointed to the bottom parchment: ”Considering all aspects, the best should be ’Nightingale Dance Rhapsody.’”

Angel nodded and pulled out the ’Nightingale Dance Rhapsody,’ then tossed the remaining parchments to Brye: ”Consider all these void.”

Angel continued: ”In the coming days, continue collecting music scores. The scores I seek afterward must be more suited than ’Nightingale Dance Rhapsody’; if not, then I’d rather not have them.”

”Also, you don’t have to give me all scores you receive, just the best one, consider the rest void.”

Brye paused for a moment and nodded.
