Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 257 Balance
A lot of things seemed to have happened that night. Angel had always been in a light sleep, only hearing someone talking and shouting in his ears from time to time, as well as the sound of things being smashed.

The next morning, Angel woke up sleepy.He originally wanted to continue sleeping for a while, but he was so disturbed by screams that he had to wake up.The voice came from the next door, but it wasn't David's voice, but the Shadow Servant.

Angel got up yawning, and saw Toby standing by the bed chattering, which seemed like noise to others.But only Angel knew that Toby was actually singing "Castle in the Sky", but his tone was incomplete, resulting in no aesthetic feeling.

Changed Toby into a fisherman's outfit, and Angor patted it down: "This is the wizard market, and there are many official wizards, so you'd better not run around, and the best range of activities is in this yard."

Toby nodded yes.Angel rubbed his eyelids and got up to wash up.

Ten minutes later, Angel stood in front of the door of the next room. He felt that the illusion he set up last night was still running, and the nodes had not been destroyed.The screams of Shadow Servant Zhengtai kept coming from inside.

"Good morning, Angel." At this moment, David came out from the opposite door yawning.

"Good morning." Angel felt a little better after washing up, but he could still see some tiredness on his face.

Hearing the scream of Mrs. Shadow Servant, David couldn't help sighing: "It took me half an hour yesterday to come out of the illusion. Your basic illusion skills are simply amazing. If you hadn't told me early in the morning that you have blinded your spatial perception, I couldn't even figure out the direction, and finally closed my eyes and recalculated the room layout in the thinking space, only then did I figure out that the door to the exit was at the top of the handstand world."

"Actually, you can directly blast a hole in the wall and get out. The illusion I set up is not too big. After you come out, you can just patch up the wall." Angel was noncommittal.

David was taken aback: "That's right! Why didn't I think of this yesterday, and I foolishly calculated it for a long time."

Angor pointed to the shadow servant who was still screaming and making trouble in the room, and said to David, "Did you find out his identity?"

Mentioning this stubble, David said with emotion: "I should have killed him yesterday, he lied to me."

"Deceive you?"

"Well, he is not a child at all. Listen to his voice, there is no child's voice at all." David said angrily: "He woke up in the middle of the night last night, and he started crying and howling when he woke up. I didn't go in. He interrogated him for some basic information, but that guy kept silent. Afterwards, he may have been tormented by your illusion for a long time, and then he cried and said some information."

The two walked downstairs while chatting: "Don't look at him as a child of 7 or 8 years old, but he is actually 18 years old. Since he awakened his natural ability at the age of 7, he has never grown up. He He didn't mention his name, and he didn't say why he went to steal, just said he was going to find someone."

When David said this, he was even more angry: "If I knew he was 18 years old, I should..."

When the two came to the kitchen, David was still cursing the feeling of being cheated, while Angel began to prepare breakfast.

While slicing dry food and miscellaneous cakes, while pouring milk, Angel's thoughts were racing.

David said that the Shadow Servant is... No, it should be a young Shadow Servant. Since he awakened his natural ability at the age of 7, he has not grown up.

This reminded Angor of what Sanders once said: Sometimes people with innate talents are not favored.

The lethargy of Li Zhixiu and the stagnant growth of the shadow servant youth all seem to confirm Sanders' words.Just like the default unspoken rule of the wizarding world - the principle of equivalent exchange, every drink and peck must be balanced.A certain law in the dark is faithfully implementing the "way of balance". Whatever it gives you, it will inevitably take back.And its style is like the great demon god of the abyss, with a feeling of buying and selling by force.No wonder Sanders feels that people with innate talents are not necessarily truly favored.

Switching to yourself, if you were born with a "false body", and then you need to deprive you of all future physical growth, would you be willing?
Angel is absolutely unwilling. Although your knowledge increases over time, physical growth is still a necessary process. During the process of growing up, the body will secrete hormones to allow you to evolve from the inside.The wave bands released by the brain and the frequencies received by the brain will vary with physiological growth.

This is an evolutionary process.

In fact, in Angel's eyes, although the actual age of that Shadow Servant is 18 years old, many internal things can't keep up because of growth stagnation. In fact, his mental age may still be around 10 years old, and he will cry when he disagrees. It is the mind of a child.

Be a peter pan who never grows up for a lifetime, in exchange for a natural talent.At least in Angel's eyes, it's a business with no profit.If you live in a peaceful world, Peter Pan's innocence and naivety can still be a reason for the public to love, but in the world of cannibal wizards, even if you have talents, you still can't withstand the back arrows of human nature, not to mention living in a night where evil breeds. magic city.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, no one mentioned the young shadow servant again. They still had a lot of things to do, so they didn't have time to keep paying attention to other people.

Angel planned to go out to buy materials, while David went to the underground cargo hold to sort out some materials and prepare to take them back to the barbaric cave.

The two separated, and before Angel left, he took Toby with him, and kept him in the warm chest pocket with only his small head exposed, observing secretly.Toby has no objection to this arrangement. He can fly whenever he wants, but the chance to be so close to his intimate little master is rare.In the warm embrace filled with the atmosphere of the little master, Toby himself enjoyed it quite a bit.

As soon as Angel walked to the door of the stronghold building with a tree-shaped sign, he saw Promi walking from a distant street with a disappointed face.

Last night, Promi didn't come home all night, judging from his expression, it seemed that he didn't get anything.

After Angor stepped forward to inquire, as he expected, Promi shook his head at him with a disappointed expression: "I ran all over the alchemy shops in Twilight Wells, and even participated in several private exchange meetings, but I still found nothing. There are some weapons for melee attacking undead, but none for long-range ones, even if they are for melee attacks, the effect is not very good, and it does not meet the entrustment of the old man at all."

Promi lamented: "It seems that I can only go to see if there is anything I need on Twilight Shooting at night. However, I have given up hope."

"Don't worry, there will definitely be." Angel thought to himself, even if Twilight Shootout didn't exist, he would still portray the "Prelude to Demise".

"Then thank you for your good words." Promi smiled wryly: "Are you going out to buy materials? Do you need me to accompany you there? Some alchemy shops are well hidden and you must be guided by someone to find them. Moreover, you can find a lot of cheap and rare materials.”

Angor's heart moved, but seeing Promi's slightly tired face, he waved his hand again: "I'm going to buy low-level materials such as echo flowers today, and I don't want to buy too rare materials. Too much money, and I may not be able to get what I want at the auction tonight."

"That's right, keep the magic crystal for now, and I will take you to find the way tomorrow after the twilight shooting is over." Promi smiled and said: "By the way, if you need a lot of materials, you can go to Night Demon The city rents labor from mortals and asks them to move it for you."

"Is the Twilight Well open to mortals?"

"As long as they are accompanied by a guide, mortals can come in. After they go out, they will forget everything that happened here, and at most have a vague impression." Promi said.

"The mighty power of a wizard is really everywhere." Angel sighed a little, said goodbye to Prome, and walked into the dark street by himself.

Promi watched Angor's back from a distance, and didn't turn around until he disappeared.

……

In the urban area where the dignitaries live in the center of Night Devil City, in a noble mansion close to the royal palace.

The proud young man with his head held high came in, and the aged long-armed butler led him to the study.

"Why are you here? Did you find Whitbyton?" There was a middle-aged man from the shadow servant family sitting in the study. If you looked carefully, you would find that he was very similar to the young man with his head raised.

"Father, I smelled Whitbyton in an alley, but he seems to have been taken away by a wizard." While talking to his father, the young man lowered his head.

"Master Wizard? Tell me carefully." The middle-aged shadow servant said.

The young man explained what he saw in detail, and the middle-aged shadow servant thought for a moment: "The frosty ground you saw should be the Frostfall technique. You don't know the world of wizards. That person should not be an official wizard, but just an apprentice." .There are not too many official wizards..."

"But even if it's an apprentice, we can't afford to mess with it." The young man said.

The middle-aged Shadow Servant sighed: "We can't afford to mess with apprentice wizards, but we can't afford to mess with official wizards even more. Whitton has been spotted by Lord Honglian, and we must bring him to Lord Honglian, otherwise the official wizard The anger is enough to burn the city."

The lesser of two evils.Middle-aged shadow servants can only make this choice, which is the sorrow of mortals, and also the sorrow of their shadow servants.

"You continue to look for clues about Huibendon first, Master Honglian will come over in half a month, and I will tell Master Honglian at that time." The middle-aged shadow servant looked bitter, "I hope Master Honglian will see you in the future." In the past, for the sake of offering sacrifices to our clansmen, please forgive us."

……

Angel returned to Night Demon City along the way he came yesterday.

According to Promi, basically as long as they pay, people in Night Devil City will be willing to sell their labor regardless of men, women, or children.But Angor looked around, and there was no one around, only the voices of people came from the other side of the partition wall.

Angel remembered that it seemed to be the Meixiang Grand Theater.
