Thinking of this, Angel nodded, "Let’s do as the mentor suggests."
After a pause, Angel asked, "So when do we bear the powers?"
Sanders replied, "I still need to perform several more calculations, and Sumishe also needs to rest the mind. Let’s wait a few days, and when there is a definite signal, I’ll leave you a message in your tree group."
After discussing matters with Sumishe, Sanders originally wanted to say more, but in the end, he said nothing.
Having taken on such a student was both his fortune and a test.
With complex emotions, he decided to refrain for now.
In the gentle warm sun, the mentor and student silently immersed themselves in their own worlds.
After a long time, Sanders finally broke the silence and said, "Since you are in the Tidal World, you probably plan to collect elemental creatures, right?"
Angel nodded.
"Are you planning to first collect fire elemental creatures?" Sanders was aware that Angel’s current weakest area was fire. He, as an Alchemist, needed to use many tools to assist fire to reach the required level for refining intermediate or high-level works, which was obviously inconvenient. If he could master high-level Alchemy Fire Technique himself, it would undoubtedly provide the greatest enhancement.
"Yes, I’ve already chosen a target, a little fire elemental elf." Angel said, "Although it naturally stutters, it can speak during its elf phase, which is quite remarkable. Besides, its fire level is very high, and it has a pretty good talent."
Angel simply described Kelonkcro’s situation.
After hearing Angel’s account, Sanders nodded approvingly. Kelonkcro, a fire elemental elf with such remarkable talent, must be an exceptional find in the outside world, one that a fire sorcerer would fight over.
But in the Tidal World, Angel stumbled upon it by mere chance, as if it were a stroke of luck.
Incredible.
Even Sanders felt a bit envious at this moment. If Angel could really tame Kelonkcro, it would at least save him a decade or more of cultivation time.
The more he thought, the harder it was to reconcile.
Sanders even regretted bringing up this topic.
But this topic didn’t last long because Angel sensed that Toby had entered and then left the Wilderness of Dreams. This was a signal they had arranged; if anything happened outside, Toby could use this method to alert Angel to leave the Wilderness of Dreams.
Angel didn’t know what had happened outside, but since Toby sent the signal, he didn’t linger any longer. After bidding farewell to Sanders, he swiftly left the Wilderness of Dreams.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, only Sanders remained.
Sanders leisurely finished the last bit of red tea, his gaze fixed on the opposite side, on Angel’s tea tray.
The tea bag was steeped in the cup, the tea overflowed, not a sip was taken. The sugar beside it was also untouched.
The only thing Angel had finished was the milk meant to be mixed into the red tea.
Sanders looked at the milk cup licked clean and couldn’t help recalling Angel’s previous words— "I don’t like adding milk to red tea."
"Actually, it’s not that he doesn’t like milk in red tea. He just doesn’t like red tea at all," Sanders chuckled, the previously hard-to-reconcile feelings inexplicably dissipating substantially.
Sanders stood up, gazing at the cityscape outside the window, which was gradually becoming prosperous. The future that seemed a bit dark now appeared radiant, much like the city covered in a layer of golden shine under the warm sun.
Sanders’ figure also gradually faded away at this moment.
...
Returning to the reality, after opening his eyes, Angel listened carefully to the situation outside the cabin door.
It was quiet.
Aside from the whistling wind, there were only the occasional murmurs of Dangross.
It seemed like a very normal atmosphere.
Considering that everything outside seemed normal, why had Toby suddenly sent the signal to remind him to leave the Wilderness of Dreams?
Full of doubts, Angel opened the cabin door.
Looking around, aside from receiving surprised greetings from many elemental creatures, everything was very normal.
The weather was fine, the Gondola was still flying in mid-air, without any disturbances or danger encountered.
It seemed like there was nothing unusual... Wait, that’s not right!
Angel’s body suddenly froze, abruptly turning his head to look somewhere.
