Chapter 1512: Section 1513 Sharley Chapter 1512: Section 1513 Sharley This experience also gave Angel the opportunity to bring Sharley along.
The benefits brought by the Rhythm of the Ocean, for Sharley, definitely made it the most rewarding journey to Sky Mechanical City.
After all, Sharley is his student; though she was just brought along, it's extraordinarily advantageous for her. Considering what to give back to Angel, Farina had to take this matter into account.
After pondering for a moment, Farina's gaze unconsciously shifted towards the casually sitting Nail Granny.
She remembered that during a previous conversation with Nail Granny about Angel, Nail Granny had mentioned that Angel seemed to be searching for something.
She hesitated for a moment and said, “I heard you are looking for a Magic Rune Scroll that increases the luck attribute?”
Angel's mind stirred, and he nodded without hesitation: “Yes, does Ms. Farina know where I can find one?”
Farina nodded gently: “I know an old friend who has a Magic Rune Scroll that increases the luck attribute.”
“May I know who it is?” Although Angel was overjoyed deep inside, he still restrained his emotions and asked the identity of the person. If it was Vifette…
Just as Angel thought this, Farina said: “My old friend is 'Twilight's Glow' Vifette from West Dimosha.”
A chill froze the joy in Angel's heart: “Indeed, it's him.”
Farina seemed to hear the change in Angel's tone and asked curiously, “Does Wizard Pat also know Vifette?”
At this moment, Nail Granny said softly, “I remember Vifette once went to the Abyss, and wasn't that when Angel also went to the Abyss?”
Angel nodded: “Vifette and I were in the last batch that followed the Frostmoon supply team to the Abyss. Therefore, I had mentioned exchanging the Scroll of Fortune with him.”
“However, what he wants in return is something very difficult for me to obtain.”
“What does Vifette want?” Farina asked.
“A Constant Fragment.”
After hearing this, the corners of Farina's mouth twitched: “That old fellow is really asking for the moon.”
The value of Constant Fragments, compared to the ethereal Scroll of Fortune, was incomparably higher. A few drops of Constant Fragments could transform into a Witchcraft Garden, a strategic level weapon; while the Scroll of Fortune, which only lasts a few seconds, and luck itself is not an absolute concept, the Scroll is considerably inferior when compared.
“Even if I could afford Constant Fragments, they are not available in the market,” Angel sighed.
Farina pondered for a moment: “Well, I'll go to the communication tower later and talk to Vifette.”
Angel nodded appreciatively at Farina: “Thank you very much.”
“There's no need, after all, I owe you a big favor today. Moreover, I think he should consider it now if you go talk to him, considering previously you were just a potential seed, but now you are a bona fide Official Wizard and a formal member of the Research and Development Institute; Vifette would be wise to influence according to the situation.”
After discussing Vifette, Farina glanced at Nail Granny, who seemed a bit downcast.
She continued after pondering: “I don't know why you want to use the Scroll of Fortune. But as a colleague, I still want to remind you–”
“Luck is really relative. Sometimes, bad things may not lead to bad results, and good outcomes may not lead to good consequences after all, as there are too many variables in the world.”
“If you're using it in alchemy, I'd really advise you, if possible, it's better not to use it.”
Angel glanced at Nail Granny, who had also previously advised him to avoid using the Scroll of Fortune in alchemy, especially when refining mysterious objects.
Apparently, Nail Granny seemed to know some secrets, perhaps someone had once used a similar method for crafting mysterious items; otherwise, Nail Granny wouldn't have specifically cautioned him.
Now, with the Water Pattern Witch specifically emphasizing this, Angel understood its importance.
He nodded gravely: “Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful.”
Farina only got acquainted with Angel today and found it inappropriate to say more. Seeing Angel acknowledging the caution, she no longer continued on this topic.
“This time I came back to the Sky Mechanical City was also to refine an Alchemy Work related to the ocean lineage, experiencing the Rhythm of the Ocean today is of very important significance to me,” said Farina sincerely: “Thank you, Wizard Pat, for making this possible.”
Angel: “It was no trouble at all.”
After expressing her gratitude, Farina let out a wry smile: “However, now with the insurmountable mountain of the Rhythm of the Ocean above my head. Surpassing it won't be easy.”
Farina only mentioned it wasn't easy, and not impossible. This also signifies the pride of an alchemist.
Then, Farina started making casual conversation, discussing some alchemy topics that could foster closer relations, and Nail Granny was very willing to help the conversation along.
The entire Tea Party was harmonious and lively, yet Angel hadn't drunk a sip of tea, mainly because the term 'bathwater' kept coming up in his mind.
The only one who seemed out of place at the tea party was Sharley, dressed as a magician.
Her emotions were actually very complicated.
She felt extremely nervous facing Angel, afraid that he would investigate her previous “borrowing” behavior; she was also somewhat grateful to Angel, for allowing her to_experience such a magical thing as the Rhythm of the Ocean… Among these emotions, Sharley also harbored some resentment–if Angel hadn't sabotaged her, she wouldn't have been caught by Kavoline.
But after realizing it was Angel who had tricked her, Sharley could only endure it. After all, she couldn't defeat Angel, even with the support of her Mentor, she couldn't overpower him.
Sharley, however, never reviewed her own mistakes.
As the Tea Party was coming to an end and Farina was preparing to leave, Sharley finally let out a silent sigh of relief.
Even though Angel was younger than her, his aura was so intimidating that she dared not make a move. This atmosphere made her, who usually was lively, feel uneasy; now the tea party was finally over.
But just as Sharley was about to leave the Nail Alchemy Shop with Farina, Angel suddenly spoke, “Sharley, your name is Sharley, right?”
Sharley's spine straightened instantly, and she stiffly looked up at Angel: “Lord Pat…”
Angel smiled and said, “We have met before, haven't you forgotten?”
As he spoke, a mist suddenly swirled around Angel's face, transforming into the image Sharley had seen underwater before.
Given Angel's words, how could Sharley pretend she didn't recognize him? She awkwardly said, “So it was Lord Pat before, I didn't notice…”
