With the first surface determined, Angor decided to keep going and began meditating again.

After creating this surface, Angor’s mind space was no longer completely dark. Now, a shining surface resided inside his mind. The surface appeared to be abstract. Angor could freely control his spirit power to travel through the surface as if it was not there, but on the other hand, Angor could feel the presence of the surface.

The surface was constructed using a special technique from Singularity Dispersive Meditation . As long as Angor did not give up first, the surface would always be there. This simple structure had given Angor’s mind space a base point to locate other coordinates.

This single surface was calculated out by using countless data. Once another surface came into being, either parallel to this one or not, it would bring more data into existence.

This is how the thirty-six-dimensional space coordinate system localization method worked its unique wonder.

Without taking further rest, Angor immediately began calculating the second surface.

Seven surfaces and thirty-six sections were built with increasing difficulty. To figure out the three coordinates for the second surface, Angor had to do many more calculations than before.

Numerous data bloomed inside Angor’s mind like fireworks. His logic ran around like diligent workers who tried to seize the data they needed. He used them to connect different formulas together, eliminate errors, and weave various knowledge points into the light spot he was looking for.

Five minutes.

Angor held on for five minutes this time before the data flow in his mind stopped and he finally fainted.

He was not sure how long he slept. Upon waking up, Angor used the residue of all the data in his mind and recorded everything he worked out before into his hologram tablet. Then he kept going, looking for the particular point based on the data he had already acquired.

It took him three whole days to find the three coordinates for the second surface, and he spent most of the time lying unconsciously on the floor.

As the second surface finally shone in his mind space, Angor collapsed and fell asleep again. With a smile on his face this time.

The sleep took him another two days and a night.

By the time he woke up, the first half of Month of Looming Frost was already ending. Angor felt his stomach rumbling. Using his blurry mind, he found some fast food and swallowed them along with some hot water.

His tongue could not taste the food at all.

It was late in the night.

After stuffing himself, Angor sat on the stairs in front of the main door. While admiring the green mistletoe tree, he drank some milk to help digest all the food.

Calm breeze, gentle smell of grass, and sweet milk… Angor’s mood was clearer and better until Sailum’s voice interrupted the silence.

Wait, Sailum? Here?

“Angor! Hey, Angor!” The boy’s young and innocent voice was full of energy.

Angor turned around and saw Sailum walking down the end of the street, wearing a pure-white robe he found somewhere. He was not wearing a hood. The boy looked like a kid trying to play cool by using a blanket as his cape. Sailum happened to be hopping and waving at Angor, which only made the sight funnier.

Another figure walked beside Sailum. Using the weak moonlight which managed to slip past the tree leaves, Angor saw a handsome and distinctive face.

Balba the Brute.

Angor remembered that Sailum agreed to help him contact Balba. Angor thought the boy only planned to figure out Balba’s address. But… he took Balba to his door!

When Sailum approached and saw Angor in the villa garden, he hopped faster.

Instead of greeting his visitors right away, Angor quickly poured the remaining milk under the mistletoe tree and tossed the milk bottle into a dustbin.

Using the convenience of night, Angor also wiped his lips clean and made sure there were no milk drops left on him before he finally walked to the entrance and addressed Sailum.

Thank goodness the dark night under the cloak of the Tree of Eternity helped him destroy all the “evidence”.

Sailum did not notice Angor’s secret attempts at all. The boy looked around the place happily.

Sailum just came to the apprentice town for the first time. He was looking at everything curiously.

“Angor! I found Balba for you.”

From a toolbox near his door, Angor found an oil lamp and lit it up with a lighter.

He hanged the lamp onto a pole beside the door and looked at Balba carefully.

The weak and wavering light of the lamp gave Balba a bigger and more muscular appearance. The man’s upper half was still bare. A pair of flax, close-fitting trousers covered his legs. He also equipped shoulder armors this time, which did not help him cover the two sweet spots on his chest at all.

Balba’s muscular and dark face revealed an anxious and expecting look.

“Good evening,” said Angor as he maintained a neutral manner. Not too friendly, not too distant.

It seemed that Balba did not talk to people much. He was unsure of how to react and only nodded to Angor in return.

“I already asked about your question. Miss Flora had been busy dealing with a plague problem somewhere so she couldn’t find time to teach you. But she gave me a channeling method book and told me to hand it to you.”

Balba seemed relaxed when he finally had something to study. But he was still disappointed at how Flora could not train him.

“Lady Flora is always away from the organization?”

Angor considered for a moment before answering him, “You can say so. She spent most of her time outside.”

Balba looked frustrated. He did not notice that Angor’s answer did not hold the exact meaning as he expected.

“I’ll go get your book,” said Angor. He wanted to turn away but he hesitated and asked something else, “Will you come in? I have some—hot water for you.”

Angor almost said “milk”. He quickly amended his words.

“No, thanks.” Balba refused.

Sailum actually wanted to take the change and go into the house to chat with Angor. However, since Balba refused, he decided otherwise.

Angor went inside to retrieve the channeling method book.

Sailum stood in the garden and touched around the mistletoe tree. Then he crouched beside the fence to observe the shining runes on it.

“Aw, apprentice town is such a nice place. I want to live here too. I’ll get a place near Angor!” Sailum encouraged himself in his mind.

Angor returned soon. He handed a booklet, which was pretty thin, to Balba.

Balba sighed in relief when taking the book. He saw many talents working hard these days, especially someone like Orlando who already made much progress. Balba did not show it, but deep inside, he was really worried. It was a pity that he did not get to see Flora. However, getting the channeling method was still worth the trip.

“Thank you,” said Balba as he bowed politely. “I’ll keep my words. Anything, just ask, and I’ll repay you.”

Angor looked at Balba’s serious attitude. He then thought about the man’s sad destiny and sighed helplessly. Angor wanted to say something like “don’t mention it”. However, considering Balba, the man probably would not let it go like that. Favor debts were usually difficult to pay back, and Angor clearly knew it. He decided to accept Balba’s offer for now.

After considering for a moment, Angor finally said, “Let’s see. Sailum and Nausica aren’t really safe when living underground. You’re strong, so you can protect them, as long as it doesn’t get out of your hand.”

That did not sound too hard. Balba nodded and agreed without a second thought.

After this, Balba remained silent. Angor did not know what to talk about as well. They stared at each other in embarrassment.

Angor looked at Sailum and noticed that the boy was not paying attention to him and Balba at all. Sailum seemed to be thinking about something else.

Also, the boy was smiling widely, as if he had something fun that he really wanted to tell others. Only that he did not know how to divert the topic.

Angor chuckled in his mind and approached the boy to ask, “Sailum, you already found your spirit power, right?”

Sailum looked really surprised and asked, “How did you figure that out?”

Angor pointed at his face. “Come on. It’s all written up here.”

Sailum scratched his hair as he replied, “Oh, hehe… I just broke through this afternoon. Oh, right. Miss Nausica succeeded in calming her mind too. She hasn’t found her spirit power yet, but she can already remove all distractions in her head, and she’ll find the power sooner or later. She told me to thank you for helping her. You’re amazing! You not only found your spirit power earlier than any of us, but you can also even help others with it!”

Balba, who heard about how Nausica had succeeded in finding spirit power too, could not hold back his urge anymore. The man sat under the oil lamp and began reading his book right away.

The first page of the book presented him with rows of clean, neatly-written universal characters. No showy expressions, no ornamental penmanship to appeal to people. The characters appeared like squares, organized in a fine manner.

“Lady Flora wrote these? They look… special,” Balba mumbled.

While he was reading the channeling method, Sailum and Angor talked about Orlando.

“I asked. Orlando is now a Level-1 Apprentice. He went ahead of us when we didn’t notice,” said Sailum. He looked a bit jealous.

“Maybe he has a reason to push him forward,” Angor wondered.

After exchanging information about their training, Sailum and Balba left the apprentice town.

Angor no longer wanted to rest now. He stood under the mistletoe tree to mourn his spilled milk for a second before returning to the soundproof room to keep working on the third surface.
