Chapter 405: Chapter 402 A Quite Self-Aware Salvatore_1

"Your spell configuration consists of instant spells such as Emergency Evasion, Prohibit Movement, and channeling spells such as Mutual Truce, Projectile Nullification—is that the system?"

Salvatore slightly furrowed his brows, "All are combat support abilities? Aren’t you going to learn Reveal True Name? Aren’t you going to learn some self-protective spells like Curse Incantation: Paralysis or Curse Incantation: Perpetual Torment? If it’s for the sake of forming a system, there’s no need to rush... Decree Wizards aren’t like us; they have quite strong self-preservation abilities. Perhaps ’Reveal True Name’ might be more essential.

"Or do you plan to learn it after you advance to become a Transcendent?"

"Yes."

Longjing Tea nodded, frankly admitting, "I may be needed by His Highness Annan. I must advance as soon as possible, and right after advancing, have a combat-ready force to assist him."

"What if Annan needs your ’Reveal True Name’?"

"That can be replaced by hiring someone. As long as you have the money."

Longjing Tea’s thought process was clear, "But the only Decree Wizard who can fight for His Highness Annan is me alone. Since I can resurrect, I will definitely be sent to the front lines of the battlefield by His Highness.

"However, I am not the only fighting force at the disposal of His Highness. When it comes to combat, both Jiu’er and Gourmet Goose are more skilled than I am.

"Therefore, what only I can do, and do well, is support and coordination—

"Emergency Evasion can force my teammates to evade, or dodge attacks from blind spots or undetectable stealth attacks; Prohibit Movement can halt my enemies at the critical moment of their evasion; Mutual Truce can effectively rescue our strength from a melee or pull the enemy into ranged combat; Projectile Nullification can make all projectiles within a considerable range lose their kinetic energy and immediately fall to the ground..."

These are all skills that are not difficult, but very useful in team fights.

It could be said that if Longjing Tea turned his skill set into a hero, he would probably be a very awesome support hero...

"If we set aside your spell selection and just talk about the composition of your spells... your thinking is indeed acceptable."

After contemplating for a long time, Salvatore unexpectedly gave a rather high evaluation, "It’s clear that you indeed have thought this through."

"So can I pass now?"

"Yes. I can sign off on your passage here."

Salvatore nodded, scratched his unruly hair, and exhaled a puff of smoke. In his signature slightly impatient yet comforting voice, he said, "You can prepare for advancement as soon as possible, I suggest within two weeks... hmm?"

At that moment, Salvatore heard a strange, clear echo coming from the amethyst behind him.

In the corner of his office desk, there was a triangular wooden rack made of three branches of purple pine. Covered on it was a special pure black aluminum foil paper, and above the aluminum foil paper dangled a diamond-shaped amethyst, swinging like a pendulum, hung up by two copper columns.

This was a simple public ritual used for directional transmission of letters. Similar to a fax machine.

Now, the amethyst suddenly made a ding ding alert sound. This meant that someone was sending a letter to Salvatore.

He turned his head to see the amethyst shaking slightly. The black paper below gradually changed color, becoming dull yellow and getting a texture like that of parchment. As it changed color, black letters began to emerge.

"...Eh?"

Seeing the content of the letter, Salvatore was somewhat surprised.

The wanted "Dream Stealer" Denton was found?

"The Pure Medium" Bernadino fought with the "Dream Stealer" Denton?

Denton was even killed outright?

Bernadino is suspected to have obtained the Hermes Faction’s Philosopher’s Stone recipe?

Nearly a hundred silver-ranked Transcendents and one gold-ranked Wizard died without creating nightmares, so artificial nightmares need to be produced?

...What on earth is all this?

Salvatore looked puzzled.

This had only been less than a day, hadn’t it? How did so much happen?

He immediately fell into contemplation.

After a long time, he came back to his senses.

Annan wrote this letter to himself... which means he thinks of me as that "reliable" person, right?

...Hiss.

Salvatore’s brow furrowed, and he grimaced.

Honestly, he wasn’t that confident he could put an end to it all himself.

Annan, are you sure I’m really okay...

...Or is it that this letter is actually meant for "another me"?

Considering this possibility, Salvatore felt a toothache coming on.

Although Annan was arguably his best friend... the fact that Annan also had a good relationship with "Vatore" made Salvatore somewhat worried.

Especially after having seen several times how "Vatore" and Annan managed to communicate and agree with each other without using words, or even without any contact, which made Salvatore even more anxious.

Why does my friend seem to have a better rapport with another soul of mine, compared to with me personally...

Are you guys the real friends?

Then what am I?

...But having said that.

What saddened Salvatore was that when Annan spoke of a "reliable friend," even he himself immediately thought of "Vatore"...

---Have I already accepted that I’m unreliable?!

Although he had now advanced to the rank of alchemist and was not as unreliable as before.

Technically, Salvatore had completely surpassed his former self.

Now, that Philosopher’s Stone, which had a fifty percent success rate, Salvatore would have about... a seventy percent chance of making it, given the materials.

Although this success rate definitely still could not match the shadow...

Of course, since the shadow hadn’t appeared after the advancement, Salvatore also didn’t know to what extent "Vatore" had evolved.

But at least one thing is for sure, Salvatore concluded.

If he really couldn’t solve this problem... "Vatore" might truly help Annan fulfill it.

At least their relationship was still very good.

Not like how she treated him... always trying to snatch his body away.

In that case, this matter should not be messed up.

Preparing for the worst even before thinking of success, Salvatore felt relieved.

He turned back and said to Longjing Tea seriously, "You should speed up the pace. It’s best if you can advance in these two days."

"...What?"

"I have to take a trip to Noah in three days. Annan wrote me a letter... he might have run into some trouble. Don’t you know about this?"

Salvatore asked with some surprise halfway through.

He remembered that Annan and Longjing Tea could communicate over great distances.

Longjing Tea, however, shook his head somewhat perplexed, "I haven’t heard about this yet."

For some reason, upon hearing this, Salvatore suddenly felt inexplicably happy...

"Then you should advance quickly. I’ll wait for you for two days at the most--- it’s best if you can advance today so that we can leave tomorrow."

Salvatore smiled, and then suddenly remembered someone, adding, "Oh right, I might bring along someone else. If Annan contacts you, you can let him know."

"...Who?"

"Feng Hohenheim. You know him."

Salvatore smiled smugly, "He’s sort of my apprentice now. With such a big event, I have to show him the world."

By implication... he meant to show off his student to Annan.
