Chapter 925: Toby and Party
After editing Leon’s new book, Angor thought about learning more about the dream wasteland. While he was busy with other tasks in reality, Freud had spent a long time here.
“How’s the project? Any new discoveries?”
“None, since your last visit.” Freud looked frustrated. “Many of my new theories required long-term observation, while the city is only at the beginning stage. Man, I wish I had something to accelerate the speed of time like in normal dreams.”
However, in Angor’s view, the dream wasteland probably didn’t have such a power because this was only a minor and “fake” world that relied on the Dream Realm.
“If you’re expecting me to receive a time-related power from the domain sphere, just don’t. We should have enough time to keep the city running, so take it slowly. By the way, I also have something to add to the case.”
Angor explained how he failed to summon the Crimson Crown to the dream wasteland, as well as the possibility of using a spell called “Bless” to select which domain power to receive next time.
Freud seemed very interested in the new findings and quickly got to more paperwork, while Angor left the tower to let Freud concentrate.
He sensed Jon speaking to two citizens in scholar uniforms. Monroe was also with them.
The subject they were discussing appeared to be “sustainable development”. Jon was the lecturer.
Compared to the scholars, who only listened carefully, Monroe would occasionally provide her own opinions and visions based on what she had seen from the city.
It happened that Jon was the most insightful man in the city apart from Angor and Freud, so Monroe came to the right person if she wanted to learn.
“She had some luck...” Angor muttered. “She can potentially inherit a domain power, she earned Freud’s approval, and she found Jon. The lady got a very promising future in the city.”
Angor did not bother Jon because teaching students was one of Jon’s favorite things to do. Jon already had two young students studying music from him, which were Alda and Sunny.
As for the kids, they were hanging out at the “treehouse pub”. Not drinking, but playing around a tree swing, together with a group of more kids around the same age.
It was normal for the children to have fun like this, but Angor was surprised to see Sunny with them. He never thought the girl was the type who would do what kids usually did.
Perhaps spending some time in the peaceful city changed her nature.
“But isn’t ‘Dead by Daylight’ still in business?” Angor wondered. “What if Sunny forgets how to scare people? Speaking of the orphanage, maybe I should take Vonman and Guina there.”
In the end, he decided not to. Vonman and Guina had seen their fair share of horror at their early age. The illusion wouldn’t work very well.
He retracted his spirit feelers as his body faded away.
...
Leon almost hopped in joy when he received Tips and Notes for Beginner Apprentices from Angor. He had just begun to meditate, but he still had no idea how to fully calm his mind. And when he couldn’t find the courage to ask Thewis for help, Angor delivered such timely help.
“I don’t know what I can do without you!” Leon gazed at Angor with a worshiper’s look. “Let me see. Meditation, meditation... The peace of body, and the peace of mind...”
Angor saw Leon fully focused on the book and left the room. Just like him, Leon eagerly wanted to join the rank of supernaturals and see the amazing world out there.
However, the life of a supernatural being might not be what one would expect from storybooks. Studies, researches... Each time somebody began a major task, they needed months or sometimes decades to get it done.
When the initial excitement of becoming an apprentice went away, one would bear with endless loneliness.
Of course, Angor did not tell Leon this or mention it in the book. It was best for Leon to slowly get used to it.
He kept some attention on Leon and saw Leon taking out another book from the drawer before getting to meditation training.
Angor didn’t see the title of the book, but he more or less knew what it was. It must have been the channeling method given by Thewis.
Angor did not mention any channeling method in his tutorial book because Sunders strictly forbade him from telling anyone about Singularity Dispersive Meditation. The other channeling methods he knew were only common and easy ones widely used by various organizations, and the one Thewis offered was probably better.
He might find a decent channeling method and give it to Leon later.
With everything done here, Angor prepared to head to the Land of Revelation and find Freud.
He went to the Milkberry Tree to take Toby with him, but he failed to find the bird. A spirit scan told him that Toby was staying at the new village built by the Krakoks.
He found Toby together with Moonlily Fairy and a group of young Krakok girls having a party in the village.
His arrival caused the Krakoks to quiet down out of respect. In order not to stop their fun, he quickly summoned Toby and left the manor.
“What are you doing with a bunch of girls anyway?” Angor asked along their way.
Toby protested by pointing to the pink lolita skirt he was wearing.
Angor had no problem reading Toby’s bird language. And it was embarrassing.
It seemed Toby didn’t care who he was playing with. He was only showing off his new dress, which was another gift from the Moonlily Fairy. Toby was still annoyed because Angor interrupted his fashion show.
“Ugh. Don’t you turn into a second Hookdick,” Angor complained. “What’s everyone doing at the party? You were having fun.”
He wasn’t interested in the girl’s talk. He just wanted to divert Toby’s attention.
Using “wing language”, Toby explained that the Krakoks were talking about Vonman and Guina.
When Angor isolated Vonman and Guina in a separate house, those who heard about this matter only grew more curious. And since the Krakoks were not forbidden from going there like the other servants, they saw Guina’s condition and brought quite a terrifying story to their friends.
