Chapter 2837 - 2838: Permanent Reward: Chanter

Chapter 2837: Chapter 2838: Permanent Reward: Chanter

The alchemy golem is approaching the crowd step by step, and at the same time, a pile of books in its hand seems to grow wings and dance in the air.

Countless glowing words float out from the books. These words form vortices that surround the flying books.

"Uisu language," the Black Earl murmured as he witnessed the scene.

These words are all special characters once used by the Noah Clan—Uisu language.

This indirectly indicates a high likelihood that this alchemy golem originated from the Noah Clan.

When the alchemy golem was only ten meters away from the group, the Black Earl assumed a defensive posture, and Angel’s expression became serious.

They were unsure of the alchemy golem’s intent. If this was a combat puppet, an attack from ten meters, if not anticipated, could catch even them off guard.

"No need to worry; it’s a servant puppet, once a receptionist of the poetry room," Olao explained.

As Olao finished speaking, Dox’s voice came from outside the door: "Receptionist? So, is it here to receive us?"

Vay turned to look at Dox: "You haven’t even come in yet; it’s definitely not here to greet you."

Not annoyed, Dox grinned and said, "Then who do you think it’s here to greet? You?"

"I didn’t say that," Vay snorted, turning his head to ignore Dox. However, as he turned, he secretly glanced at Angel not far away.

Vay didn’t think the alchemy golem was there for him; more likely, it was for Lord Chaowei.

As Vay pondered this, the alchemy golem arrived in front of the group, facing Angel exactly.

Even Olao and Adanis failed to get its direct attention.

All its focus seemed to be on Angel.

Angel was puzzled and was about to say something when suddenly the swirling books around the golem returned to its hands.

During their return, the vortices formed by the Uisu language words accompanied them back into the books. However, not all the words went back into the pages; each vortex left a word behind.

These glowing words arranged themselves into a long sentence in midair.

The sentence was laid out before Angel, but unfortunately, he couldn’t understand it...

It didn’t matter; Olao and the Black Earl beside him could understand Uisu language.

Olao softly said, "These are words of welcome, a special courtesy given by the lord to a distinguished guest."

...Distinguished guest? Angel looked bewildered; when had he become a distinguished guest?

As Olao finished speaking, the Black Earl glanced at the line of Uisu language and recited softly: "Welcome to you... Chanter bathed in moonlight."

Upon hearing the Black Earl’s words, Angel’s previously bewildered expression instantly became stiff.

He seemed to realize what the "presence" Augustine had left on him truly was...

Angel turned and looked at Olao with a questioning gaze. Olao nodded: "His translation is correct; indeed, that’s what it means. Chanter bathed in moonlight, how beautiful, just hearing it conjures scenes of poem recitation before my eyes... Forgive me for being presumptuous, but may I ask, is this your title?"

Angel felt an overwhelming urge to complain but had nowhere to vent, finally catching his breath after a long pause, and said, "No, how could I deserve such a title."

As he spoke, he patted Vay’s shoulder beside him: "By the way, let me introduce you to his nickname, Midnight Poet; I think he’s more fitting as a poet, compared to me."

Angel brought Vay into the conversation to divert the topic.

Such a title wasn’t a big deal. It was just that the person who bestowed the title and the reason for the title made Angel reluctant to discuss it.

Thus, a seemingly trivial title made Angel feel awkward just hearing it, sorely needing a change of subject.

However, Angel’s attempt to change the topic failed.

And this failure was unrelated to anyone else but rather due to the "principal" emerging to "clear the air."

"No, you are the poet I admire the most! You are the true Chanter worthy of moonlight praise!"

The speaker was a young male voice.

Initially, Angel thought it was Olao speaking, but upon closer listening, he found the voice strangely familiar.

The passionate, emotional voice was strikingly similar to the one he heard during the alchemy omen... no, almost identical!

As this thought arose, Angel seemed to realize something and quickly lifted his head towards the source of the voice.

The speaker was... the alchemy golem.

However, the golem seemed slightly different from before. Previously, it appeared somewhat stiff; even the words of welcome were selected one by one from the books.

But now, the sapphire-made eyes of the golem were full of spirit. Its blinking eyelids made it appear exceptionally lively.

It was as if before them no longer stood an ordinary alchemy golem, but one filled with spirit intelligence. Almost... like a golem possessed by Speedy.

However, Speedy’s character is typically very silent, and it maintains a cold demeanor even when possessing a golem. This golem in front of them is quite different, not only lively in expression but also able to clearly convey emotions when speaking.

While Angel was suspecting whether this alchemy golem was the person in the omen, Olao beside him was so excited he was in tears.

"Master, is it master?" Olao’s voice trembled, even his words were fragmented: "I knew it, the presence left by master is there, master must have already arrived, must show himself, surely..."

Meanwhile, across the room, Adanis sat watching the scene, shocked at Olao’s words, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at the alchemy golem: "Olao, what did you say? It’s... it’s Augustine?"

Yet, neither Olao nor Augustine’s questions were acknowledged by the alchemy golem, which continued to gaze intently at Angel.

"As I reminisce about your poetry, it still feels as wonderful as ever. Whether it’s ’The Kiss’ or the breathtaking ’When You Are Old,’ only someone who turns life into poetry can write them!"

"Most importantly, you’ve achieved the art of appealing to both common and cultured tastes. I admit my poetry skills don’t match your level, but the poem you wrote for me gracefully brought elegance to the mundane. It’s truly remarkable!"

"Only a true poet can achieve such a thing."

"You deserve my admiration; you are indeed the Chanter bathed in moonlight. This is my eternal praise for you."

Listening to the golem’s rich and varied tone, Angel had confirmed that this alchemy golem was undoubtedly Augustine... though he wasn’t sure how Augustine ended up inside the golem, only Jon could say the words from ’The Kiss’ and ’When You Are Old,’ which don’t exist in this world, except for the Augustine he encountered in the alchemy omen.

Previously, Angel assumed that the Augustine from the alchemy omen was not the real person but a concept condensed by World Will.

But now it seems, the Augustine who appeared in the alchemy omen really was him?

That’s rather alarming.

The only two individuals Angel has encountered capable of invading another’s alchemy omen are the Thief of Time and Augustine.

Moreover, Thief of Time only played a minor role in Angel’s alchemy omen without impacting the omen itself.

But Augustine is different. He directly participated in Angel’s Alchemy Omen and even became the key figure in Angel’s ability to pass the Alchemy Omen.

From this perspective, isn’t Augustine stronger than the Thief of Time? Or at least on the same level as the Thief of Time?

And the Thief of Time is rumored to be a being suspected to have performed a Miracle.

Angel suddenly didn’t dare to speculate on Augustine’s true strength...

At this moment, facing the praise from the Alchemy Golem, Angel didn’t dare to mock in his heart anymore and instead accepted it with a stiff smile.

Let alone being a Chanter bathed in moonlight, even if he was said to be a Chanter bathed in fire or lava, he would have to accept it with a smile.

"Thank you... sir, for the compliment. It is my honor," Angel said humbly.

Originally, he wanted to call Augustine "Lord," but remembering that during the Alchemy Omen, he called him "sir" and was not corrected, he decided to continue using that title.

"You deserve it." At this point, the Alchemy Golem sighed softly: "Previously, I had nothing good to reward you with, except for a compliment. But now, since you’ve arrived at the Qingkong Poetry Room, I can give you some good gifts."

The Alchemy Golem looked around and finally fixed its gaze on Adanis.

"So the little mirror has been born, huh? Is it called Adanis?"

It was the first time Adanis faced Augustine, although it was just the Alchemy Golem, it didn’t stop her from wanting to "speak" for herself.

"Are you the bastard who wants to dominate my life?"

As soon as Adanis finished, Olao hurriedly ran up, pulling Adanis behind him, and said to the Alchemy Golem, "Master, Adanis is still young, a bit capricious, please don’t blame her. Blame me for not teaching her well."

Alchemy Golem: "It’s nothing. Girls with a bit of temper are more interesting."

With that, the Alchemy Golem turned to Angel: "How about this, I give Adanis to you as a reward?"

"No!" Adanis shouted: "Why do you get to dominate my life?"

But the Alchemy Golem completely ignored Adanis and looked at Angel as if as long as Angel nodded, it would certainly give Adanis to Angel.

Angel felt a bit exhausted at the moment.

He just wanted to see what the Qingkong Poetry Room looked like, as a true observer, but now the stage had automatically shifted to his feet.

In contrast, the true descendants of Noah, the Black Earl, and Vay were marginalized...

Angel sighed inwardly but had to summon his energy on the surface: "No, I’m not interested in anything here, just passing by."

The Alchemy Golem looked enlightened: "Indeed, a true poet is like this; either the heart is on the road, or the body is already on the road."

Angel smiled awkwardly, acknowledging it.

Adanis, on the side, snorted coldly, muttered a few curses, not knowing whether it was directed at Angel or the Alchemy Golem.

Taking advantage of the Alchemy Golem’s contemplation, Angel once again reached out and pulled Vay, who was trying to sneak away, back over.

"Sir, you may not recognize this one, but you should feel it; he is your descendant, an outstanding one. You appeared here specifically to meet them, right?"

Angel didn’t want to face the Alchemy Golem alone anymore, so he dragged Vay out as a shield. Moreover, Angel truly felt that he was insignificant, and the protagonist should be the descendants of Noah. He needed to put the protagonist in place and then quietly fade into the background.

The Alchemy Golem seldom responds to outsiders, but every word Angel says gets a response.

"Margaret was unwilling to bear children, so where would any descendants come from?" After saying that, the Alchemy Golem murmured a few words, seemingly complaining about Margaret’s persistence.

Angel: "I meant Noah’s descendants."

Augustine said bloodline descendants, but Angel referred to the descendants of the Noah bloodline.

The Alchemy Golem: "What do Noah’s descendants have to do with me."

After this was said, Vay’s face turned visibly pale, but the Black Earl’s emotions didn’t fluctuate at all.

Angel frowned slightly. Although he could understand that centuries might have eroded many things, the closeness between generations doesn’t exist on the millennial scale. But Augustine’s straightforwardness still surprised him a bit.

Perhaps having seen the change in Vay’s complexion, or maybe having noticed Angel’s furrowed brow, the Alchemy Golem, after a moment’s thought, added a slightly softer statement: "Noah’s descendants have a branch in the Origin World that has developed quite well. The missing part of Adanis is also in that branch. They maintain an open and welcoming attitude toward all Noah’s descendants. If you want to advance further, especially you."

The Alchemy Golem looked at the nose floating in mid-air— the Black Earl.

"It’s best to go there and take a look; the connection of bloodlines will make your advancement easier." The Alchemy Golem said, snorting lightly: "Advancing in the Southern Domain, where the source of the bloodline is lost, means that even if you succeed, your potential will be exhausted."

"I’ve said my piece; whether you listen or not is up to you."

Augustine’s words revealed a lot of information, not just about the Noah Clan but also about Adanis.

No matter what the reason Augustine had for revealing this, his information was indeed very useful to the Black Earl and the Noah Clan.

The Black Earl had once thought about whether or not to visit the Origin World, and even asked Laplace similar questions, though without a satisfactory answer. Now, an ancestor of Noah provided a clear answer.

There is still a Noah branch in the Origin World, where the secrets of advancement can be found!

As the Black Earl’s thoughts shifted, the Alchemy Golem’s gaze turned back to Angel: "Do you really not want Adanis? The heart on the road, the body on the road, but it doesn’t hurt to have an assistant."

Angel still politely declined.

The Alchemy Golem sighed regretfully: "I had thought that one day you might take her to find the missing part. But it seems now it’ll benefit these descendants."

As the Alchemy Golem finished speaking, Adanis stood up abruptly: "I’ll control my own path. I don’t need to rely on anyone."

Adanis’s repeated provocations finally got a response from the Alchemy Golem. It slowly turned its head, its sapphire eyes quietly watching Adanis: "Wrong, no one can truly control their path. You can’t, and neither can I."

"You often inexplicably fall into a state of sleep, don’t you?"

Adanis didn’t answer, but Olao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Adanis often sleeps, but even so, she practices much faster than I do."

The Alchemy Golem glanced at Olao, its emotions slightly complex: "Your situation... we’ll discuss it later."

After speaking, the Alchemy Golem looked back at Adanis: "This is caused by the missing part, you should know that yourself. Without completion, you can never become a Mirrortraveller."

"And if you want to gain the missing part, you can only rely on Noah’s descendants. Otherwise, you don’t even have the qualification to go to the Origin World."

"Most importantly, even if you reach the Origin World without Noah’s descendants’ help, you absolutely have no chance of entering the branch."

"Back then, Margaret took the part of you that was missing to experiment with stopping Mirror Domain beings from invading reality through the Max Energy Array. And now, she succeeded, and the Noah branch is filled with arrays that kill Mirror Domain beings. If you get close, you’ll be identified as an enemy, and will be locked onto even if you hide in the Mirror Domain. So, no one can help you except Noah’s descendants."

"Of course, if you still choose to walk your own path and live in an imperfect state, then it’s up to you."

After listening to the Alchemy Golem’s words, Adanis seemed unbelieving, pointing at Angel: "No one can help me except Noah’s descendants? Then why do you think he can? Is he a Noah descendant?"

"The Chanter is, of course, not a Noah descendant, but he is a Chanter appointed by me, and there’s no greater pass than this commendation. So, he can help you too. By the way, I must remind you..." As the Alchemy Golem spoke, its gaze gradually grew cold and stern: "Disrespecting the Chanter is disrespecting me. This time I’ll forgive you, but there’ll be no next time."
