Chapter 137 Baruba’s Request

Translator: SumTLMan

When Angel woke up. He just felt completely refreshed.

When he meditates again. He can feel his mental force smoothly. It seems that he has skipped the second step directly. Without having to practice manipulating the mental force. He can treat it as an extension of his arm!

“Although the pain felt was as if my brain was bursting. The outcome is still a harvest.” Angel said in satisfaction.

There are three steps before becoming an apprentice. The first step is to sense the mental force. The second step is to manipulate the mental force. Angel skipped the second step, which was also a painstaking task. But with the foundation of the first step, the second step itself would not take much time.

The next step is to overcome the third difficulty and build a mental model.

Once the model is built to the extent that it can guide the source of magic. Then Angel has officially transcended the rank of a mortal.

Angel had no immediate plans to start building his mental force model. First, he stood up and turned off the Holographic Tablet. The tablet was still running from before he fell into a coma yesterday. He took a look at the time while he was closing the tablet–

Month 10, Day 5.

The fifth day of the 10th Month of Cold.

“Fortunately, I was just in a coma for one night. Unlike the time when I was in a coma for several days in the Nightmare Plane.” Angel thought.

I wonder if my mental force value has increased since last time? I need to find a chance to verify this.

Whether the mental force has changed or not, Angel understands at least one thing. There is something really strange about that wall. The mysterious pattern had attracted more mental force than ever before. But he doesn’t have the random outline in his mind anymore, so the mental force can’t hide. Angel doesn’t know what would happen if he continued on with his outlining.

However, he did not dare to continue to outline. Although he had not yet reached the point of near-death yesterday. Not everyone could bear the sharp pain of near-death every day. Now that he has successfully achieved his goal of tracing mental force. It is really risky to continue again.

When Angel emerged from the quiet room. There was a greyish-brown figure, half lying by the door.

“Toby?” Angel whispered.

The sleeping figure on the floor slowly woke up. When he saw Angel, his small eyes lit up and happily chattered ceaselessly.

Angel put Toby on his shoulder with a gentle smile on his face.

“Wizards normally meditate for ten days to half a month, so don’t worry about it. Does Lord Gloria end every day with meditation?” Angel asked softly.

Worried? Toby leaned over his head, and with his sharp beady little eyes. He clearly expressed disdain.

Toby took Angel to the top attic. With a puzzled look on Angel’s face. He saw Toby pick up the food box. Then he pointed his beak at the empty food box and looked at Angel.

“Ah… It turns out that you ran out of snacks and food. I thought you were worried about me.” Angel laughed and cursed. “Let’s go, I’m in a good mood today. Let’s go out and buy you something to eat!”

Angel changed his clothes. He wore a casual plaid waistcoat and loose trousers. When Toby saw this, he also took out a plaid coat and asked Angel to help him put it on.

“Fortunately, you are a bird. Otherwise, you would be embarrassed if we wore matching clothes.” Angel muttered as he helped him change.

Toby responded by pecking Angel twice.

Apprentice Town Market has food stalls. Angel arrived there just after noontime when the food stalls were full of people. Besides the villagers who were doing business, Angel also saw many Wizard Apprentices.

This is the first time Angel has seen so many apprentices gathered together.

Almost every building in Apprentice Town had a different style, and these Wizard Apprentice outfits also had their own characteristics.

Angel saw an apprentice wearing a cute pink rabbit costume with furry rabbit ears. If this was a five or six-year-old girl, it would be very lovely. Unfortunately, the apprentice wearing this rabbit costume was a grown woman. But this woman was a female bodybuilder. Her muscles are more rippling than a man’s. This female bodybuilder’s costume is already tearing at the seams. It was a shameful display. But another teenager at a snack stand on the right-hand side of Angel showed an even more shameful display. The upper body and the lower body were exposed. The lower body wearing suspender shorts, with strong chest hair, and two indescribable points. These points were affixed with two pink lovely hearts.

It was a blinding sight to behold. Angel took a deep breath and covered Toby’s pure eyes.

Toby: “…”

To distinguish Wizard Apprentices from ordinary people. It was almost as simple as looking at the way they dress. Angel with a sense of curiosity sees many people in strange costumes along the way.

At the same time, Angel has opened his eyes and also found a small shop selling dried food.

Angel bought a lot of dried food and Toby’s favourite food, dried fish. Then he left an address for the delivery men to send over the rest of the goods while he continued to stroll around the market.

After eating some popular snacks, Angel covered his face and went into a pastry shop called Fragrant Milk House.

Half a while later, Angel left with two delicate cloth bags, and his face with a touch of wet milk stains on the corners of his mouth.

Carrying two bags of dairy products, Angel came home humming a joyous tune. The purchased dried food has been delivered. Angel gathers the dried food in batches and puts all the dried fish in Toby’s room.

After sorting out his harvest, Angel lets Toby move by himself while he went out the door with a cloth bag.

The bag was filled with pastries and drinks bought at the Fragrant Milk House. He was going to bring it to the crypt for Shalem and Nausica. Angel did not rest during his crazy meditation along with his friends, and because there was no aid from a magic pattern. They had to work even harder than him.

Angel hasn’t visited the two these days. In order not to let his friendship fade. He took advantage of the gap of time after his breakthrough to visit their doors.

The signs in the crypt are scattered throughout. Although Angel has been here several times. Sometimes he sees exactly the same forks and goes astray. Fortunately, there are signs in every other direction. Otherwise, Angel thinks he will get lost until dawn.

Crossing a short ramp, Angel looked up and saw the road was blocked.

There was another fork in the road.

Angel accepted his fate and walked back, and on his way back. Angel accidentally saw a man walking opposite to him on his way back.

“Baruba.” Angel called out his name from the bottom of his heart.

Baruba is still dressed as a barbarian fighter. Angel had no contact with him before, so as the two passes by each other, Angel just nodded to him.

But just as he was walking away, Baruba called out, “Wait a minute.”

Angel stopped and looked at Baruba in doubt.

Baruba’s expression was calm and indifferent, but where Angel could not see. His hands behind him kept shaking, showing the tension in his heart.

Angel: “What’s the matter?”

Baruba did not speak for a long time. When the other party saw Angel’s impatience. His hoarse voice came into Angel’s ear.

“The mentor you worship is Lord Sanders, Phantom Master Sanders.”

“Mhmm.” This story has spread a long time ago, and Angel had become a celebrity among the apprentices for some time.

“My mentor is Lord Flora… She is also an apprentice of Lord Sanders.”

“That’s right.”

Baruba asked nervously, “Do you know Lord Flora?”

Angel thought, “Yes, Miss Flora has helped me a lot on the Cloud Whale.”

After hearing his answer, there was a sudden glimmer of joy on Baruba’s face:

“That’s great. Can I request something from you? If you can help me, I’m willing to pay any price.”

…

Angel frowned slightly after saying goodbye to Baruba.

Baruba did not get a Flier Invitation Card, so he was randomly assigned to Flora. Angel knows about this, but what he doesn’t know was what happened next.

Although Baruba worshipped Flora as a mentor for more than a month. Flora has not even seen Baruba once. Let alone teach him anything. Baruba today has not even begun to learn a guidance method yet.

The same batch of the talents has already begun taking the first steps, but Baruba is standing still. Because of this, Baruba was very anxious. When he saw Angel, he acted like an ill patient rushing to a doctor for a cure. Begging Angel to help him inquire the reason why she was neglecting him.

It was a matter of connections to do this favour. But Angel did not directly promise Baruba. He just said that he seldom saw Flora normally and would help by asking her when he saw her.

Because Angel does not know if Miss Flora was especially not teaching Baruba on purpose. It would be rude to ask her directly. Making it seem suspicious and exceedingly out of order to ask this question. Even if it is between the same doors. It would be also very likely to cause a gap between them if he asked her this question.

So next time Angel plans to go to Phantom Island. He will ask his mentor Sanders for his advice.
