Chapter 913: Jons Concern

Keeping Jons consciousness inside the dream wasteland permanently seemed highly possible right now. With this settled, they had to decide how to treat Jons body next.

Since Angor still had no viable approaches to cure Jons condition, he could only talk to Sunders, the only wizard he trusted.

Jon took a long moment thinking about Angors suggestion.

Theres a certain religious belief back on Earth, that your body is only a vessel, while what is within you is more important. Im not into religions, but I might agree with this. As long as Im here, in another form, and someone like you still remembers my name, then I have no problem throwing my old vessel away.

But Angor You told me that wizards can be mad scientists when they feel like it. Will they use my body to do terrible things? Such as invading my home?

I wouldnt consider this completely impossible, but the chance is very, very scant. Suppose the strongest wizard in this world found your body, the best he can do is to tell that youre a human from Earth, but he wont find out how to get there. Even if he somehow learns the exact location of Earth, he will not travel through different universes to aim for it. Someone who can perform such s.p.a.ce travels will not be interested in a random world out there anyway.

Besides, there isnt anyone whos capable of such a thing as far as I know. Angor briefly explained the levels of wizards. The last legendary wizard disappeared from the southern region over a thousand years ago. Legendary is the current best level people have witnessed, and even those wizards cannot travel through time and s.p.a.ce at their free wills.

There are rumors that suggested the existence of even stronger wizards. These rumors might describe them as the most unimaginable miracles, yet they did not say anything about them exploring another universe. In my view, your concern isnt necessary.

Your presence is no longer a secret anyway, Angor thought.

Jon sighed. Maybe youre right. I just dont want to end up as someone who brings doom to Earth, even if theres only the slightest chance of it.

Ill get better until I can protect you and everything you care for, said Angor. I just hope I have enough time for it

Just a few months ago, Jon still remembered Angor as a small and playful milk-lover who would often come up with childish mischiefs. He found it hard to believe that this trustworthy gentleman in front of him used to be that same kid.

Okay. Jon nodded. Id be lying if I tell you I dont want to live a normal life. Just Dont burden yourself too much, alright? Im fine with staying in this city. Dont let me drag you down.

Ha. You know, Im still thinking about taking you home someday. I mean YOUR home.

Thats nice to hope for. Wait Jons smile suddenly froze. You still have the Alien Eye on you! Unlike my body, that thing has gotta be useful for finding a course to Earth. Make sure you dont lose it!

Angor gave Jon a determined nod.

The truth was, many people including Sunders had noticed this artifact till now. Strangely, none of them said anything about it. They all saw it as a worthless decoration.

Well, maybe Toby was an exception. There was one time when Toby saw the Alien Eye s.h.i.+ning and floating on its own. It happened during his first trip to the Fey Continent. When staying on Sunders cloud whale, the item suddenly shone brightly at night and brightened his tent, and Angor had no idea of it in his sleep.

Although he wasnt worried about Toby at all. Judging from Tobys character, the bird probably had already forgotten about this matter. Besides, there were many alchemy items that gave out light. An easy excuse would deal with any suspicion.

Angor only hoped that no wizard like Sunders would suddenly get interested in the Alien Eye.

For now, he didnt have any good means of hiding the item. It couldnt go inside his bracelet for some reason. It could still be put inside a personal dimension such as a Sorcerers Garden. But it was not like he had one of those.

He had been keeping it in his pendant necklace and did not meet any trouble because of it yet. The only thing worth noticing was the strange incident in the tent when it glowed, and Nausica saw it too.

He kept this in mind and planned to check the item later so that the same thing didnt happen again out of the blue and perhaps ruin something in the process.

Are you sure we can trust that professor of yours? asked Jon. He still didnt know much about Sunders.

I dont know about other wizards, but Mister Sunders is fine.

Putting emotional factors aside, Angor believed that Sunders at least wouldnt harm him because they had many common interests. Nightmare Form, projection bloodline, and alchemy If Sunders would like to gain the most out of these things, he would make sure Angor was well and alive.

Do as you wish then. This city is pretty good. Dont worry too much about me.

Sure, Jon. Tell Sunny and Alda if you need anything, and theyll convey the message to Freud.

Angor woke up and felt his head still throbbing a little. Drawing the power of Gatekeeper had impacted both his body and spirit, he still needed some time to fully recover.

When Gondola returned to Padt Manor, everyone saw his ill look and grew worried.

When the message got out, Auri and Mana quickly came to him and talked about preparing a healthy meal tonight. Even Leon climbed off the sickbed and paid him a brotherly visit.

Im fine. Pulled too many all-nighters and needed some rest, thats all. Angor used the same excuse each time someone asked.

Following the servants, Eureka soon heard about Angors recent condition as well.

She had not paid much attention to Angor because she and Thewis were working on making spirit remedies. It was Brulee who sent the news.

He looks weaker than before. Dunno whats gotten into him, Brulee explained while resting on the Demeters branch. The owl had somewhat taken a liking to Angor after Angor gave it the Mermaids Sh.e.l.l and the new monocle. When people in the manor talked about Angors problem, Brulee also showed concerns.

Angors not feeling well? Eureka looked at the manor castle and saw through the walls.

Angor stepped onto his balcony when he felt Eurekas inquiring sight.

Oh, hes not happy. Eureka chuckled and canceled her far-sight spell.

Is he alright, Master? asked Brulee.

Hes good. Obstructed by his bottleneck, nothing serious. Eureka sighed. He reached the peak of a level-3 apprentice so soon? Impressive. Or should I say, this is a bit frightening.

A shadow materialized in front of her. It was Thewis, who just returned from his personal dimension.

Thewis had a bottle of green liquid held in one hand. Telling from his facial skin and neglected stubble, he had been having a taxing time.

Success? Eureka quickly joined him.

Only one bottle, out of seven servings of materials. Sigh Such waste and deficiency. If only we can ask Angor to Forget it. What are you talking about just now? Whos peaked?

Guess who? Eureka pointed toward Angors room and explained what she just heard.

Thewis briefly checked Angors condition as well without raising Angors suspicion.

Yeah He topped out his level already. The hindrance is so obvious on him, which means he didnt go through such things before. So his entire apprentices.h.i.+p was smooth and trouble-free? I never heard of such cases before.

Does he have secret training techniques? Or perhaps the channeling method he learned befitted his talent perfectly?
