Chapter 2441 A Sudden Decision

As soon as Nice's hand touched Lenko's skin, Lenko trembled violently and screamed unconsciously.

At the same time, a red mark was left on Lenko's skin.

Nausicaa looked at the scene in a daze. Didn't Nice touch lightly? How could there be such a big red mark, and Lenko was still screaming?

Nausicaa looked at Nice: "My lord, what's his condition now?"

Nice didn't answer immediately, frowning tightly, observing Lenko. However, he didn't touch him directly, but used the perspective of energy to investigate Lenko's situation.

After a long while, Nice slowly said: "I thought the 'forging' stage of the Forging Water was over, but I didn't expect it to be over yet."

"What do you mean?"

"The effect of the Forging Water is just like its name, it 'knocks' out the potential of human beings one hammer at a time. Every knock may cause the body to collapse and the mind to lose control." Nice: "You should still remember the guy's shrill screams before we left?"

Nausicaa nodded. The screams at that time made everyone on the Moonlight Bird panic.

It is indeed difficult for humans to empathize, but the sound of screams that penetrate the bones still makes them shudder.

From this, we can know how terrible the pain that Lenko suffered at that time.

Nice: "In fact, Lenko's current state is the same as before we left... well, not exactly the same. The toxins in his body have long been hammered away, and now Lenko is still activating his potential."

Nausicaa was stunned: "Your Excellency means that he is actually being tempered by the Forging Water? Enduring great suffering?"

Nice nodded, and for the first time looked at Lenko with a little more appreciation.

"This guy has a very strong endurance. The tempering of the Forging Water has not ended, but he has begun to adapt to the pain brought by the beating." The reason why Lenko screamed again just now was that Nice made a wrong judgment, thinking that Lenko's Forging Water had been consumed. When the cycle that was already tolerable appeared an external factor, that is, Nice's touch, it was like a camel that was fully loaded to the limit, and suddenly had a straw on its body. Even if the weight of the straw was negligible in front of other people, the camel's feelings were real, and adding any external factors would cause the camel to collapse.

However, Lenko is not a camel after all. Camels cannot bear the weight of straw, but Lenko can. Even though Nice's wrong operation made him experience more painful suffering again, he still survived.

Nausicaa also understood what Lenko had experienced at this time. It was obvious that Nice's operation just now was a bit reckless, but it couldn't be blamed entirely on Nice. If it were her, she would probably think that Lenko had passed the "beating" stage, after all, Lenko looked really calm.

Fortunately, Lenko's tolerance was strong, otherwise all the previous efforts would have been wasted.

Now, Lenko has entered the "forging" again, and his spirit and body have not collapsed.

It's just that the red marks on the skin are difficult to disappear.

"Can he succeed?" Nausicaa asked after the air was silent for a few minutes.

"I don't know." Nice: "But if Lenko succeeds, he should be very good... What should I do, I like him a little bit."

When they left, Lenko was enduring "forging". Now, they are back, and the "forging" has not ended yet. What does this mean, Nice knows too well.

Lenko must have great potential, otherwise the forging water would not last so long.

Of course, potential is not the real reason why Nice is interested in Lenko.

Many gifted people have strong potential, and some even have potential that overflows to the point of manifesting powerful abilities, just like Nausicaa's friend Shiryu, whose ability to change the quality of water is the product of potential manifestation, and her talent is ranked among the best in the Savage Cave.

But in Nice's opinion, Shiryu is just like that. It's not because of Shiryu's "sleepiness" problem, but because potential cannot be regarded as the absolute value of the wizard's path. Compared with potential, he cares more about the courage to make decisions and tenacious perseverance.

And both of these things are in Lenko.

When Lenko made a choice between "conventional treatment" and "forging water", other crew members were inclined to conventional treatment, but Lenko chose forging water without hesitation. This is a kind of courage to challenge oneself.

The severe pain during the "Forging Water" is recognized by all wizards. Even some high-level apprentices will collapse physically and mentally in the severe pain of forging, which leads to the gradual decline of this Van der Waals potion.

But Renko, an ordinary person, survived. He survived for two days, which shows that Renko is a person with a strong desire to survive and tenacious perseverance.

If such a person can embark on the path of wizards, his future achievements may not be weaker than those with talent.

"I hope Renko has a talent for the soul system." Nice said softly.

Nausicaa was stunned for a moment, and then a slight smile appeared on the corners of her tight mouth. Although Nice said that he didn't know whether Renko could succeed, from his soliloquy, Nice had actually judged that Renko's success rate was very high.

Even, Nice began to expect Renko to have a talent for the soul system, so it would be natural for him to accept Renko as an apprentice.

"You have little Sam as your disciple, aren't you satisfied? Wizard Nice."

At this time, a voice sounded from the door of the medical room.

When he turned around, he saw Angel walking in. Behind Angel were Sanders, Ferro, Kanter, and even Reynolds followed in at this time.

"You are not interested in Lenko, so why are you here?" Nice looked at Sanders and others.

Sanders didn't speak. After entering the door, he walked directly to the side and sat down. Ferro pointed at Angel gently: "He said he had something to discuss with us, so he came here."

Nice looked at Angel: "Little Sam is one thing, Lenko is another. If Lenko is a mysterious soul-type, it is natural for me to accept him."

Angel smiled and did not continue to argue. Originally, he was just teasing. If Lenko really had soul talent, he would also recommend Lenko to Nice. Although Nice is unreliable, his soul ability is one of the best in the Savage Cave.

"Angel, do you have something to say?" Sanders asked.

Sanders was studying Reynolds outside before, but Angel said in the psychic belt that he had something to discuss. He came over.

When he met Angel, Sanders felt his heart beat a little erratically, as if something was about to happen.

Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, Sanders couldn't predict, but it must have something to do with Angel calling them over.

"I came here to see Lenko. Since Lenko is fine, that's fine. It means that the forging water has not expired." Angel said with a smile.

Everyone: "..." So you don't know if it's expired?

After a pause, Angel continued: "Besides, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Angel at the same time.

"I want..."

"I want to go back to the center of the fog belt to have a look." Angel said this after hesitating for a while.

After the words fell, everyone frowned.

Nice and Ferro had almost the same reaction and spoke to Angel to dissuade him without hesitation.

Suddenly, the narrow medical room suddenly became lively.

Angel ignored Nice and Ferro's dissuasion, but turned his head and released a sound illusion spell on the hospital bed where Lenko was lying, isolating external sounds to prevent the noisy sound from bringing greater burden to Lenko.

After doing all this, Angel turned around and fixed his gaze on Sanders.

Sanders did not dissuade him, and his expression did not change. He seemed to be listening to a very ordinary decision.

"Is this your decision?" Sanders asked, and everyone else shut up.

Angel nodded solemnly.

Sanders was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Then do it."

When Ness heard Sanders' response, he immediately wanted to say something, but Kanter stopped him with his eyes: Even Sanders agreed, what are you messing with?

"I just want to say, you guys leave here first, I will return to the center of the fog belt alone later."

Kanter: "Actually, I can accompany you. Just in time, let's talk alone."

Angel shook his head: "No. I want to go alone."

Kanter did not continue speaking, but looked at Sanders. Sanders looked at Angel deeply: "Okay, but you'd better come back alive."

Angel laughed and just nodded without saying anything. Because...he is afraid of setting up a flag.

"Don't you ask me why I want to go back?" Angel asked curiously when he saw that Sanders seemed to have lost interest in chatting.

Sanders: "Everything you do, I believe there is a reason for it."

Moreover, Angel also proposed it at this point in time, which shows that his reason for going back is more urgent. You know, before this, Angel had not shown any intention to go back.

In just a few minutes, he changed his mind. There was obviously a very strange reason for this.

And this kind of urgent and strange "other reason" usually involves personal secrets.

So Sanders didn't ask. He also knew that if Angel was willing to say it, he would say it himself, just like now.

Nice: "Your mentor doesn't want to hear it, but I want to hear it. You might as well tell me why you have to go back to the Mist Belt, right?"

"Witnessing the birth of a disordered thing should be very helpful to me." Angel said a reason.

Everyone frowned slightly, seeming to understand Angel's choice. Angel is an alchemist, and he is currently the only alchemist in the Southern Region and the one closest to the mysterious class. Isn't it normal for him to be interested in the birth of a mysterious object?

There are also many story-telling novels in this world, describing some people who risk everything for the things they love.

Angel seems intent on doing the same.

In order to break through the mysterious class, this reason sounds very legitimate.

As for whether this reason is true, Sanders thinks it should be... not. Does Angel love alchemy? love. But Sanders knew that Angel's attitude toward alchemy was more pragmatic than fantasy.

Angel is self-aware and will not fantasize about things that are currently out of reach, such as the mysterious class.

He may have been infinitely close to the mysterious class, but that was a coincidence of the right time and place. Angel would not be ignorant and think that he really belongs to the half-step mysterious alchemist.

There is still a lot of alchemy knowledge he needs to learn.

Under such circumstances, coveting the mysterious class is too ambitious.

Therefore, seeking the path of a mysterious class for the sake of an illusory "birth of disordered things" is definitely not in line with Angel's philosophy.

Of course, this is just Sanders's opinion. He knows Angel, so he knows how flawed Angel's reason is.

But others are not like this. Their understanding of Angel is still superficial, so they think this reason is really convincing.

For example, at this time, including Kant, Nice and Ferro all think that Angel's reason is very sufficient and sincere.

On the contrary, Nausicaa feels that this decision is a bit unlike Angel's. But now, even Sanders agrees with Angel's decision, and Nausicaa can't object. What's more, Nausicaa actually agrees with "risk and opportunity coexist", and this time she rashly followed Reynolds to break into the laboratory, which is also the reason.

"Then... OK, when are you leaving?" Nice asked.

"In a quarter of an hour."

...

The reason for setting aside a quarter of an hour is that Angel is going to go to the Dream Wilderness.

He plans to use the illusion method to place the books he copied in the laboratory in the Dream Wilderness.

This was not a difficult task and was completed quickly.

After doing all this, Angel said goodbye to the mind band, jumped out of the Moonlight Bird, and flew into the air.

Under the clear night, Angel looked at the direction of the laboratory... It looked very quiet, but was it really so? I had to go over to see it.

Just as Angel was about to leave, there was a faint fluctuation around him.

Looking back, a figure in a black gentleman's suit appeared beside him.

"Teacher?" Angel called out the other party's identity as soon as he saw the person coming, but soon he added: "No, is it an illusion?"

"My real body is still on the island, and I will use the illusion clone to accompany you for a while." Sanders said lightly.

The illusion clone is actually similar to the clone, but there is no need to split the mind. Instead, it uses the illusion to carry a part of the consciousness.

Wherever the illusion clone goes and what it sees can be instantly transmitted to the main consciousness.

The effect is a bit similar to the wizard's eye, but it is more operable.

However, the illusion clone has a huge flaw, because it is not a split consciousness, so there is a distance limit. With Angel's current ability, the illusion clone can be divided into many, but the farthest it can go is at most a few kilometers. If it goes further, the illusion clone will disappear.

Sanders' illusion clone is obviously better than Angel's. He said that he can accompany Angel for a while, at least it is not a fake one that disappears after a few kilometers.

Angel also nodded, he just wanted to talk to Sanders alone.
