Chapter 140 Baruba the Hybrid





“So, it rains in the Mirror World too?” Through the cracks in the leaves, Angel saw that the sky was overcast, and the cumulonimbus clouds were thicker than expected. It seemed that the rain would last for a long time.


After entering the Savage Grottoes, he occasionally thought about the truth of the Mirror World. He always thought it was similar to a heavenly cave in those Earth novels, but when he looked at the natural rain clouds. It seemed a little different.


The morning breeze blew the rain onto the Treevine Bus. Two or three drops of the cool rain pasted on Angel’s face. The cold and wet feeling instantly let him express his interest in the water. As he took out his handkerchief and wiped his face.


Angel believed he would go to Phantom Island during the rain, but it didn’t end up happening.


It is not as though the rain has stopped, but he is now at a higher position than the cumulonimbus clouds. Angel stood on the outer edge of the “Falling Cloud Leaf Platform” and looked down. He could see the green plains, the tiny buildings and human beings that were as small as ants. The little black spots coming and going back and forth in the building. But at this time, he not only saw the dark clouds but heard the rumble of thunder.


The sound of rain was enhanced by the rumble of thunder, and now it can be seen how close he was to the rain clouds at this time.


On the Falling Cloud Leaf Platform, he also saw a group of apprentices like him. Observing the rain clouds below. However, Angel is purely curious, but the others are observing while recording something. As if thinking, but also from time to time, they release some water system spell to confirm some sort of truth.


Angel also noticed that at the location of the rain clouds below. There were several figures floating on thin air who seemed to be observing the process of “cloud to rain.” They were even working in tandem with magic to create a slightly smaller cumulonimbus cloud. They seem to be imitating the process of clouds turning into and rain clouds.


Wind, rain, snow, thunder and lightning are all truths and phenomena in the sky.


At this moment, looking at this group of apprentices completely immersed in detailed knowledge that ordinary people would not notice. Angel really felt the light of wisdom.


In the High Cloud Library, he saw an endless collection of books and felt only admiration and amazement. But here, when he sees his colleagues studying rainclouds diligently, he feels closer to the truth. It is impossible to reach the end of a building with books. One can accomplish their mission only by measuring with two feet, observing with eyes, and thinking with a brain.


Angel arrived at Phantom Island with a slightly solemn mood.


Phantom Island is still sunny. Angel did not see Sanders in the study but was brought in by housekeeper Goode to a garden full of exotic and rare plants.


The trees were high, and the green vines covered most of the sun. The flowers were so dense that it was almost as if the whole garden was full of flowers with exception of the gravel path. The flowers vary in colours and types. In this dark environment, there were some bright and thrilling colours.


Sanders stood at the end of the gravel path, surrounded by all kinds of fantastic animals. Including the white horse with wings that Angel had noticed earlier.


“Mentor.” Angel respectfully greeted.


“You came to me, is there something you don’t understand?” Sanders was carrying a snake behind his neck. He was stroking a boa constrictor with a bloody crown.


“No, I’m just here to report my progress to mentor. I’m going to start building my mental force model soon.” Angel lowered his head to avoid the python’s gaze.


“Coming to report about such a trifle. Do you want me to praise you for your quick progress?” Sanders turned his head and looked at Angel calmly, but it was this ordinary gaze that seemed to penetrate his human heart.


“Well, no…” Angel wanted to deny it, but somehow, he never finished his sentence. There’s nothing wrong with what Sanders had said. He ran to his mentor for no other purpose but to get a compliment and raise his proud tail, didn’t he? He is also deliberately making an excuse. Using such words as reporting. Reporting or not reporting, it was just to satisfy his vanity.


Angel stood there embarrassed. Not only for his vanity but also for Sanders.


After the atmosphere had been frozen for a while, Angel had an impulse to run away. After recognizing the vanity in his heart. He felt too ashamed, too childish, and too disgraced.


At this point, Sanders walks up to Angel.


When Angel thought Sanders was going to scold him, he didn’t expect a warm hand on his shoulder.


“No need to be embarrassed. It’s actually the truest thing in your heart. It’s beautiful in colour, much better than the sharp, dark and dirty **** I’ve seen from too many other people.” Sanders deep hoarse voice came to Angel’s ear: “Remember who you are now, this is your truer self. Don’t try throwing him away. Only by recognizing the truth can you go further.”


Angel looked at Sanders in a daze. His words were a little obscure, so much that he didn’t seem to understand them. But there is no doubt that Sanders is not blaming him.


Sanders patted Angel on the shoulder and then stepped aside. “It’s really commendable to be able to trace your mental force so quickly. I heard you went to Old Book? Did Old Book tell you?”


“En, I went to Old Book and he told me that if I drank the Cold Night Potion, I can quickly locate my mental force. But I didn’t drink…”


Before Angel had finished, Sanders suddenly interrupted and looked at him with a look of surprise.


Sanders: “You said Old Book told you to drink Cold Night Potion?”


Angel nodded.


“Are you sure Old Book answered your question?”


“Yes.”


Sanders looked at Angel with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He had just asked casually and even intended to tease Angel when he said, “Old Book turned him away.” But it didn’t occur to him that Angel gave a response he had never thought possible.


Old Book answered! And the answer was true!


Sanders recalls the last Wizard who got an answer from Old Book. It seemed to have been more than a decade ago. It was a Wizard from Dark Night Edge who spent an unthinkable amount of wealth to get guidance from Old Book.


Angel was able to get an answer from Old Book? God damn it, that question was a simple one at that.


If he had known Angel could pry open Old Book’s mouth. He would have prepared 180 questions for Angel to ask. As for Angel’s question, any Wizard can answer it!


Sanders looked at Angel with a dazed look on his face and slightly sighed.


“Would you like telling me how you got Old Book to open his mouth?” Sanders was suddenly curious.


Angel didn’t hide anything. What he and Old Book talked about didn’t involve much substance. Then he explained the process of that day by going through the sequence one by one.


“I see, with the exchange of knowledge. Old Book opened his mouth. Ah, according to Old Book’s character, this makes sense… But mass and energy relationship? How can you understand that?” Sanders said.


“My enlightenment mentor taught it to me.” Angel did not hide Jon’s knowledge.


After listening to Angel’s explanation, Sanders lamented. “It seems that it was not easy for you to learn your enlightenment mentor’s knowledge. It’s a pity that he is an ordinary person and has no chance of becoming anything. Otherwise, with his knowledge, perhaps being an official Wizard is to be expected.”


Sanders paused and said to Angel, “It’s a brilliant achievement for you to open Old Book’s mouth. If you spread it, your reputation will probably be loud.”


Angel smiled but didn’t answer.


“It’s good you traced the mental force without using the Cold Night Potion… The wall deep in the Demon Eating Flower tunnel is very strange. When you go down the tunnel in the Nightmare Plane later. If you can still get a chance to increase your mental force from that wall. It’s not too late to take the Cold Night Potion after.” When Sanders finished, he said in a slightly regretful tone: “Unfortunately, it was a waste of a guidance opportunity from Old Book.”


Previously, Sanders wanted to break Angel’s embarrassment from his inner vanity, but with the situation of Old Book. It had not actually faded. When the topic is over. He was ready to say his goodbyes and leave.


Just as he was about to say goodbye. He suddenly remembered about Baruba, whom he had met in the crypt.


In fact, Baruba has nothing to do with him. But somehow, Angel has some intimacy with Baruba. So, when Baruba asked him, he didn’t refuse on the spot.


“Mentor, there’s something else I’d like to consult with you about, is that okay?”


“What makes you so careful about what you want to say?”


Angel was silent for a moment and told him about his encounter with Baruba underground…


“I just wanted to ask mentor If I ask Miss Flora about Baruba. Will she be angry?” Angel said.


“Baruba.” Sanders suddenly smiled and said, “She won’t be angry, but I happen to know the whole story. Do you want to hear it?”


“Mentor knows about it? That would be great!” Angel didn’t want to bother Flora either. The little devil wasn’t to be trifled with though he missed Little Red.


Sanders said: “Flora doesn’t teach Baruba for two reasons. First, she’s really been busy lately. There was a tribe incident in Paramjit Plateau where they recently performed a large-scale blood sacrifice. It seemed to have been caused by some sort of pathogen. She has been busy with this incident in recent days. Second is because Baruba is the reason himself.”


“Why is Baruba is the reason himself?”


Sanders drew a mocking smile from the corners of his lips: “Because he himself is not completely human.”


“Not human?!” Angel recalls Baruba’s appearance. He doesn’t seem to have any inhuman characteristics?


“He is a hybrid of mankind and an exotic plane barbarian.” Sanders directly revealed the answer: “When he is very angry, blue totems will mysteriously appear and his eyes will turn into vertical golden pupils. This is a characteristic of the exotic plane barbarian’s Silver Wolf Clan. Originally, he should also have a tail, but because he is a mixed-blood hybrid. His human blood neutralizes part of the Silver Wolf blood.”


“There is a default rule for the Wizard Plane. Those who do not belong in this world are not allowed to be taught Wizard’s knowledge. Even if he’s just an ordinary hybrid. What if there’s some kind of the exotic plane power buried deep within his blood? After all, the Wizard Laws can run through all planes. Too many people covet the Wizard Laws.”


Angel: “It turns out that he has half his blood from an exotic plane. No wonder only Baruba did not have a Mentor Flier Invitation Card at that time.”


Sanders said, “Yes, because a Wizard doesn’t want to get involved in this kind of trouble. I would have preferred having him dissected instead.”


“Then why did you accept him?” Angel is also puzzled by this. He knew long ago know that Baruba had exotic plane blood. But Sanders being afraid of a person with some exotic plane blood or would be a spy on the Wizard’s Law. He is unable to accept this explanation.
