882 Mean Good Friends (2/2)

”You look as terrible as before,” Fernando mocked Antec straightforwardly. ”And you don't know how to sort yourself out at all.”

With a bitter expression, Antec said, ”Whether or not I sort myself out, no beautiful sorceresses will ever like me. Only someone as handsome as you is worth sorting out.”

There were hints of envy and jealousy in his tone.

”Have you considered modifying your face?” Fernando did not consider Antec's feelings at all.

Antec, however, thought about it carefully and said, ”Few people in our magic tower are good at physical modification, and I don't trust other people, fearing that I will become even uglier.”

”Hehe. You are still a coward who doesn't dare to try and trust! You shouldn't have studied after the King of Nightmare, and you should've gone to the Tower of Misfortunes!” Fernando was particularly mean today.

The Tower of Misfortunes was the demiplane of ”Lord of Misfortunes”, a legendary sorcerer who had already perished in Antiffler.

Antec was not so cowardly in front of his friend whom he had known for years. He said proudly, ”My teacher said that I am very gifted at dreams, and I'm most suitable to hide in someplace safe and manipulate dreams.”

”Yes. It's indeed suitable for cowards,” Fernando said.

Antec suddenly smiled. ”Fernando, let me tell you a story.”

”Huh? A story?” Fernando failed to follow Antec. He suddenly felt that his friend had something he could not understand since they last met ten years before.

Antec led Fernando through the gate into the crowded market area. The vampires under their parasols, the elves who embraced the sunlight, the dragons who stopped on the roofs, and the human beings who were coming and going made the place diverse and charming.

”The Lord of Abyss, my teacher's good friend, is one of the best experts in bloodline melting and body modification. When he was young, he was often mocked by his good friend for being too hideous. However, he has plenty of mistresses right now,” Antec said in a calm tone.

Fernando was not envious at all. ”He's a legendary. Nobody can refuse him.”

In the Magic Empire, legendary sorcerers had great privileges. As long as they did not kill anyone too important, they would only be fined for murder.

Then, he chuckled. ”So, that's what you used to encourage yourself? How inspiring!”

”That's not important. The important thing is that when the Lord of Abyss was only in the seventh circle and not as strong as his friend, he ambushed and killed his friend after having enough mockery, before turning his friend into a demon dog.” Antec suddenly sounded delighted.

Fernando was stunned for the first time during his interaction with Antec. He said with his face frozen, ”Do you want me to thank you for not killing me?”

”Yes, but I dare not do so,” Antec replied with a smile. He was already satisfied to see the look on Fernando's face.

Fernando was about to roar when he saw a vampire fighting an elf in the avenue up ahead. The blast of the senior-rank supernatural powers had demolished a lot of buildings.

”Nobody is going to stop them?” Was Aalto so unregulated? Then, perhaps the Church did not need to attack them at all; they would kill each other after a while!

Antec suddenly sounded extremely weird. He asked, both in amusement and confusion, ”Fernando, have you pretended to be a girl?”

”How did you know?” Fernando was rather shocked. How could such a thing have been spread to Aalto?

Antec pointed at his side. ”She's right here.”

Shocked, Fernando looked at his right side, only to discover a petite red-eyed beauty was standing next to him shoulder to shoulder, except that she looked rather fuzzy.

He was lost at first, before he said in great enlightenment, ”Is this Aalto City my dream?”

”No, it's OUR dream,” Antec replied with a smile. He was much bolder when they talked about that.

”Our dream, as well as theirs?” Frowning, Fernando pointed at the human beings, elves, dragons, vampires, and dwarfs around them.

Antec nodded his head. ”This place is based on the dreams of all the living creatures in the real Aalto. Now that you have come to this place, you've naturally joined the dream. It's barely possible for traitors to hide in such dreams.”

”This is… too remarkable for your teacher to accomplish! Has he reached level three of legendary? It's impossible for even the level-three legends!” Fernando had a profound understanding of illusions and read a lot of books on the battles of legends.

Antec chuckled. ”Have you forgotten that Prince Dracula is in Aalto?”
