Angel said, “You know that staying by Eulica’s side means you’re willingly getting involved in the secrets of the ancient Gumon treasure. Even though Rolando is currently controlled, the trouble hasn’t been fully eliminated. It’s actually quite dangerous for you to be by her side.”
White Bear understood the reasoning, but he still said, “Before, Mentor Maya told me it was time to leave Barbarian Cave and gain some experience. But I was always waiting for fate to tell me the answer, so I never dared to leave.”
“Now, staying by my sister’s side is also a form of training, isn’t it?”
Although for White Bear this was a dangerous matter, training was about embracing life in the face of death.
White Bear left, and Angel did not continue to dissuade him. White Bear was much older than him, and his life was full of twists and hardships from growth. In this regard, White Bear knew better how to live well.
Moreover, White Bear was a Prophecy Apprentice. In his own words: fate would guide him to the correct path.
In White Bear’s life, as an outsider, Angel naturally would not interfere with his choices.
After White Bear left, Lyon hesitated before asking about Angel’s earlier mention of “leaving.”
Although Lyon did not voice it, one could see a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Angel spoke calmly, “Since Red is not currently in the Old Earth Continent, I think you can consider the suggestion I made to you before.”
“What suggestion?”
“The New Star Tournament,” Angel paused. “You could try participating in the preliminary rounds of the New Star Tournament.”
…
When Angel returned to his room, he began drafting designs on paper.
Once the designs were almost complete, Angel was surrounded by various alchemy materials.
He planned to forge a set of alchemy equipment for Lyon.
Previously, he suggested that Lyon should attend the New Star Tournament, and it was after considerable thought: it was vital for Lyon to be exposed to the broader Wizards’ Realm to grow progressively.
Lyon did not agree immediately but told Angel that he needed time to think.
However, judging from what Angel understood about Lyon, his attitude was already wavering. What currently troubled Lyon the most was his sense of responsibility towards his “people” and the “manor,” making him reluctant to leave immediately.
But now, with the very determined and meticulous “Turin” as the Butler, Angel believed that with Turin’s managerial abilities, temporarily taking over the manor and arranging for the citizens of Gru Town, there wouldn’t be any problems.
So, it was just a matter of time before Lyon agreed.
Even if something unexpected occurred and Lyon refused to leave, that would be fine too. After all, forging a set of equipment for Lyon was also Angel’s wish.
As for achieving a notable result in the New Star Tournament with that alchemy equipment, Angel hadn’t thought of that.
He had suggested that Lyon participate in the tournament purely for broadening his horizons and, if the opportunity arose, to introduce his friends to Lyon.
With Lyon’s current capabilities, truly achieving a good result was nearly impossible.
Just gaining experience and broadening his knowledge in the preliminary rounds would be sufficient to meet the goal.
