Nail Granny had thought of rescuing him, but no one could enter that world; all the prophecies pointed to death.
In a blink, a thousand years had passed.
Nail Granny later also learned some insider information from a visitor from the Origin World. It turned out that not all mysterious objects were controllable; there were uncontrolled mysterious objects in this world.
And all uncontrolled mysterious objects were almost always a catastrophe.
The Reincarnation Casket that he had created was clearly out of control in the end.
…
Angel did not know what Nail Granny was thinking. Seeing that she remained silent without speaking, he couldn’t help but call out again, “Nail Granny, what’s wrong? Don’t you have it here?”
Nail Granny came back to her senses and shook her head, “A Magic Rune Scroll that increases luck is extremely rare; indeed, I do not have one here.”
Receiving this answer, Angel was not disappointed; he hadn’t expected it to be so easy to find one. After all, if Sanders had expended so much effort without finding one, how could he possibly be so lucky.
The reason he asked Nail Granny was also because he was inspired by the list of items.
“Does Granny know where I might find one?” Angel asked further.
Nail Granny looked deeply at Angel for a while before saying, “I do not know who has one, but I advise you against using the Scroll of Fortune for alchemy.”
“Why?”
“Luck is about collapsing all the bad possibilities to infinity; the remaining probability choices, that’s what we call opportunity. But you may not get what you want from these remaining choices because some positive opportunities may not be right for you, or even suitable for alchemy itself,” Nail Granny paused—
“Especially when used in the alchemy of mysterious objects.”
At these words from Nail Granny, Angel suddenly raised his head to look at her.
The other Alchemy Apprentices also turned to look, having been eavesdropping earlier. Now, having heard Nail Granny’s words, they could hardly contain themselves.
Why had Nail Granny said “Especially when used in the alchemy of mysterious objects”? Could it be that Granny meant that this shabbily dressed middle-aged man was planning to create a mysterious object? But what qualified him to do so?
“Could he be…” Boli suddenly covered her mouth.
Although Boli didn’t finish her sentence, everyone thought of a possibility.
The alchemist in the Southern Domain closest to the domain of mystery was only one person—none other than Angel, the name that was currently causing such a stir!
Nail Granny couldn’t possibly be lying, so it seemed there was only one possibility.
At this thought, everyone’s eyes blazed with fervent flames. Even though they had been arguing earlier about combining and Enchantment, and even though Angel was a representative figure of Enchantment, this did not stop their admiration for Angel!
Louis was somewhat stunned, unable to believe how bizarre the situation had become. Although he muttered under his breath that it couldn’t be possible, the scales in his heart began to tip.
On the other side, Angel also heard the implication in Nail Granny’s words. Clearly, Nail Granny had already recognized his identity.
This surprised Angel as well. If Nail Granny could discern his identity, it means either her abilities were incredibly profound, seeing through his Disguise Technique, or it meant that Nail Granny’s status in Sky Mechanical City belonged to the core hierarchy.
Possibly even both.
“Although I plan to use the Scroll of Fortune for alchemy, I currently have no intention of creating a mysterious object,” Angel said slowly. “However, I am curious, Granny, do you mean to say that using the Scroll of Fortune to create a mysterious object, even a positive opportunity, might carry unfit risks? Why is that?”
“Since you’re not preparing to create one now, there’s no need to know,” Nail Granny paused. “However, try not to take too big a step. If you truly want to create a mysterious object, I hope you will proceed step by step, and you will reach that pinnacle.”
Nail Granny’s affirmation, along with Angel’s statement “currently have no intention of creating a mysterious object,” indirectly confirmed his identity.
There was a stir among the Alchemy Apprentices. Although they had been prepared, they still felt surprised.
Louis could hardly believe everything before him; the very person he had looked down upon turned out to be a true master.
Boli’s eyes sparkled with light, as if she had thought of something.
