"It’s fine. They…" Morrisa hesitated for a second and continued, "Well, the situation is complicated. I will just talk to them." She had informed Hikari and Reyline that she wanted to keep the relationship between her and Hank a secret.
However, she thought for a while and looked at Hank. "I’ll try to invite them to the party, but I don’t think they’ll come. They don’t like noisy places."
"I can go with you if you need me." Hank nodded.
"No, it’s fine. Thanks."
"Morrisa and Hank, I wish you all the best!" A girl with a large boutique of red flowers walked to the couple. She was wearing a black one piece and her voice was cute.
"Thank you, Angela, you’re so cute." Morrisa crouched, hugging the girl, then kissed her soft cheeks. "I have to leave now. Thank you for the beautiful flowers!" She accepted the boutique and smiled.
"Glad you liked it," Angela responded in a high-pitched tone. With her long blonde hair and black dress, she looked like a beautiful doll.
Morrisa nodded and walked to the trees on the side.
She raised her hand and leaned forward slightly so no one could see what she was doing. A blue light dot flashed on the back of her right hand. It was a communication rune.
A deep voice echoed in her ears.
Morrisa hesitated for a second and looked to the right.
There were four familiar people staring at her beneath the shadow of a large tree quietly.
Morrisa walked to the four wizards quickly and hugged the female wizard wearing a long white robe.
"Wish you all the best, Morrisa," Hikari muttered, then she handed a small red jewelry box over to Morrisa.
"I respect the decision you made. It’s a wise choice. Anyway, you’re still one of us. Contact me if you need anything." Stigma had prepared a gift for Morrisa as well.
Reyline and Angele greeted Morrisa as they gave her their prepared presents.
"Thank you…" There were tears in Morrisa’s eyes, but she quickly wiped them off. "I know that I was a burden on the trip. I barely did anything, but…"
"Don’t say that, Morrisa. We survived the challenges together. You also did everything you can when Stigma was injured," Hikari interrupted.
The five wizards stood in the shadow and started chatting.
Hank was talking to his relatives that just arrived.
The cute girl named Angela blinked her eyes and looked around searching for Morrisa.
After several seconds, she somehow found that Morrisa was talking to four people that were wearing long white robes under a tree.
"Hank, look over there!" She pointed at that tree.
Hank and his two relatives heard the girl’s voice and turned around.
"They must be Morrisa’s friends." Hank’s brows furrowed. "I’ll go take a look. I think I should at least greet them."
"Yeah, go ahead." The two relatives nodded at the same time. "We’ll head to the wedding banquet now."
"Sure."
"I want to go with you!" Angela sounded like a spoiled kid.
"Fine…Let’s go." Hank patted Angela’s head.
Morrisa already finished her conversation as they walked to the tree.
The four people that were talking to her covered their faces with their hoods, then turned around and disappeared into the forest quickly.
Hank and Angela failed to greet the four wizards. They watched Morrisa walk to them with several gifts in her arms.
"How was it?" Hank wondered.
"They said they still had something to take care of and left." Morrisa shook her head.
Hank glanced around and noticed that the energy particles in the air were decreasing.
He looked at Morrisa. "Who are they? My dear, no offense but I can see a dangerous aura around them."
"Don’t worry, Hank, forget about them. We’ll probably never meet again." Morrisa looked a bit depressed.
**************************
Angele started experimenting with the spell system that was used by most Crystal stage wizards right after coming back from Morrisa’s wedding.
The biggest difference between a Crystal stage and the Liquid stage was that the Crystal stage wizard could cast level 2 spells.
However, the amount of Mana, Mentality, and supporting materials required were altogether different as well.
The strongest level 1 spell could deal around 60 to 70 degrees of damage, but a Crystal stage wizard would be able to understand and learn level 2 spell models. Although the power of the spells would be limited, they were still much stronger than level 1 spells.
Angele returned to his home and accepted Henn’s offer. He decided to find the woman for her and Henn started telling him the information about the level 2 spells.
‘Your forcefield from the Metal Mastery is too weak for a Crystal stage wizard. You need to modify it again and improve it.’
Angele sat on the bed in his bedroom and listened to Henn’s words.
It was late at night. The light from the two moons outside illuminated on Angele’s body.
‘What about the level 2 spell you promised me?’ Angele asked.
‘Metal Mastery has already been modified. How am I supposed to improve it again?’
‘You can partially modify it. You can’t simply replace it with a different Talent Spell. Consider the Talent Spell as part of your mentality crystal. You can engrave different runes on its surface, but you can’t remove them after,’ Henn explained. ‘You have a high affinity with Fire energy particles, so you need to find a way to engrave the runes from Fire categories spells on your Talent Spell model. However, the process will consume a large amount of your mentality and you will be in your weakest state during this period. You need to make sure that you do it in a safe location.’
‘If it’s what I must do, I won’t hesitate.’ Angele nodded his head slightly. "Is there any recommendation on which level 2 Fire category spell I should choose?’
‘I have a list of level 1 spells for you to take a look at. I’ll give you the level 2 spell on our way to the Elemental Hand’s territory.’
A chilling mentality wave hit Angele’s brain as Henn finished her words.
The biochip warned Angele immediately.
‘Unknown mentality wave has entered your brain. Information transfer request accepted. Continue?’
‘Yes.’
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes and disappeared into the air quickly.
‘Information transfer started…Organizing…’
Several minutes later, Henn spoke again.
‘Alright, I have transmitted all the information to you. Just pick one that fits your battle style. They’re all Fire category spells, and you can use them to practice. The mentality wave transfer technique has consumed a lot of my energy, so I need to rest for now.’
‘Much appreciated.’ Angele nodded.
‘Damn kid, you’re only polite when you get what you want.’ Henn did not sound happy.
Angele chuckled but did not say anything else.
‘Data organized. Visualization prepared,’ Zero reported back.
‘Visualize it. Prepare for the simulation.’ Angele created the task right away. The biochip had been upgraded twice and many new features had been added. Its multitasking ability was of tremendous assistance when multiple simulations were needed to be processed at the same time.
After several seconds, a large blue light screen was displayed in front of Angele’s eyes.
Rows of spell models slowly appeared on the light screen.
‘Sol’s Gauntlet: Infuse your hands with Fire energy particles by absorbing the power of the sun. The damage of the spell will increase if you can absorb a lot of sunlight.’
‘Flame Armor: Conjure high-temperature flames that surrounds your body. Your body must be strong enough to handle the temperature. The power of the armor is decided by your mentality.’
‘Explosive Fire Bead: Release a small rolling fireball. The fireball will move to your target and explode. The power of the explosion is decided by the density of the fireball.’
‘Sunlight Laser: Release multiple lasers and blind your targets while dealing damage. The power of the lasers is decided by the amount of sunlight you can absorb.’
‘High-Temperature Forcefield: Release a fire forcefield around your body. The radius of the forcefield is 15 meters.’
‘Increase Melting Point: Temporarily increase the melting point of a certain material. The range is decided by the amount of mentality spent.’
‘Increase Boiling Point: Temporarily increase the boiling point of a certain liquid. The range is decided by the amount of mentality spent.’
‘Absolute Fire Resistance: Block a high-temperature target. Create a barrier by consuming mentality. The duration and the amount of mentality spent can be controlled.’
Those were the spell models and special techniques listed on the first page and there were more than ten pages.
Most of them were level 1 spells.
Angele checked each of the spells and techniques one by one carefully. He picked a simple level 1 spell that would fit his Talent Spell perfectly.
It was the High-Temperature Forcefield.
Angele had already mastered the Fire enchantment techniques and he wanted to try them for the first time. He had already noticed the weakness of the Metal Mastery. Engraving runes might be helpful.
The attack mode of the metal forcefield was too simple and the damage it could do was associated with Angele’s attribute points. Angele noticed that the information on the spell model was missing the details.
He had finished picking a spell model and tried to talk to Henn, but she did not respond.
