The apprentices flying outside, on the other hand, all met their terrible fate. When the rhyme turned from an enjoyable melody to merciless pressure, they were all pulled down before they could react. People fell from the air, screaming like mad.
When the drum brought the tenth beat, Angor felt something changing.
He sensed a flaw in his tranquil mind. There was no wind, cloud or horses on the grassland now. Everything was replaced by a strange rhyme, the same one released by the Sorcerer’s Garden.
Angor was still unsure of what was going on when he found himself waking up.
Once awake, the pressure of gravity brought by the drumbeats appeared more bearable to him. The feeling was moderate, compared to when Angor was still immersed in his tranquil mental state.
Half a minute later, the rhyme slowly disappeared when the drumbeats finally stopped.
Now, the Sorcerer’s Garden began to shine a golden light and was shrinking ten times faster than before. The garden quickly became smaller than a finger ring and dropped into the hole on the ground.
Sunders waved a hand and the golden spot came flying into his palm.
No one prevented him from doing so. Still, all wizards showed jealousy in their eyes. That was a Sorcerer’s Garden, a valuable and tactical resource that could be carried around easily.
A Sorcerer’s Garden was enough to provide support for a middle-sized wizard organization. Now someone just possessed a private one…
It was a good thing that Sunders belonged to Brute Cavern. It would not be too hard for them to use Sorcerer’s Garden in the future.
“The world’s consciousness is leaving.”
“Yes. So it must be a garden of gravity this time.”
“This law is only a mid-tier one, but it’s still useful. Bloodline wizards can train their bodies inside.”
“Pity. I didn’t sense the sequence of gravity.”
“I wonder what kind of gravity level the garden can offer? If it can strengthen it to a hundred times, all bloodline wizards in the south will want to come here and receive baptism.”
“Looks like we Brute Cavern will become a paradise for Bloodline Art.”
“Grass Snail, you shameless fool. This is Sunders’ personal garden. Don’t place the organization on high moral grounds already.”
“Come on. I’m just mentioning a possible idea.”
“Once the information gets out, those from Gravity Forest will surely get furious about this. If I remembered right, Sunders scammed the fragment of eternity from ‘Dryad’ Boko, a Gravity Forest wizard.”
“Scam? That’s a legit business!”
Since the Sorcerer’s Garden was completed, the once serious wizards all began to chat.
After listening to their conversation, Angor now had a basic idea about the garden.
The wizards called it the “garden of gravity” probably because gravity was its law. Angor felt a bit disappointed. If the garden received the law of purification, he no longer had to worry about challenging Sky Tower.
The law of gravity was of little use to him. As the wizards said, this garden was most effective when used by bloodline wizards to train their bodies. However, Angor was an Occultist.
Even so, the garden could be used by many, since bloodline wizards were not the only ones who studied bloodline. In order to strengthen their physical performance, most wizards from three major arts would choose to fuse a bloodline into their bodies.
Sunders floated down slowly.
Using his sharp perception, Angor quickly noticed that Sunders was wearing a golden ear nail on his right ear. The garden of gravity was probably fixed on this piece of accessory.
The wizards all stopped talking and looked at Sunders.
“I checked. The law of gravity in the garden was still in its initial state. It can provide 3.17 times gravity at his current condition. With my calculation, when the law energy completely fills the garden, the center of the garden should have a gravity of 93 times,” Sunders slowly explained.
Ninety-third times gravity!
It was absolutely good news for bloodline wizards. A bloodline apprentice could receive a good baptism under the gravity of 10 times while a bloodline wizard would need a gravity of 30 to 100 times. A gravity beyond 100 times would be constantly effective for level-2 wizards.
There were many different types of gravity gardens too, and a garden useful to wizards was extremely valuable.
Sunders’ garden of gravity was probably a middle-leveled one or something a little weaker, but it was still a lot more useful than the garden in Floating Mech City.
…
Angor poked at Toby and asked if the bird found anything.
He never expected Toby to actually gain anything, so he was just idling his time away with the bird. However, Toby nodded in a serious manner which caused Angor to widen his eyes.
“You found something? Well, I didn’t find any,” said Angor. He revealed a sad look. “You’re not pulling my leg, um?”
Toby shook its head and kept a serious expression.
Sunders just left the crowd and approached Angor. When he heard Angor’s words, the man also looked at Toby with a curious look.
“You gained something in the process?”
Toby lifted its head proudly.
Everyone knew that the construction of a Sorcerer’s Garden could bring good destiny. People could follow the rhyme created by the world’s consciousness when it injected a law into the garden, and try to comprehend the law from it. This was not limited to high-level wizards. Apprentices had their own chances of learning something as well.
Someone with great talent could even learn the law of gravity straight away. But it was only theoretically. Possible by rules, but impossible to achieve in reality.
Someone might catch something about the basic sequence of the law at best. Most people would not achieve anything at all. Like this time, none of the wizards sensed the sequence of gravity. Not even Sunders.
Sunders stared at Toby with squinted eyes. The curiosity grew stronger.
“Let’s see how well you comprehended the sequence of gravity.”
