However, right after the funeral ended, when Nini stood up, Nostradamus immediately took out the Starry Sky Wand and walked toward Nini with a look like he was preparing to take her as a disciple.
Seeing this, Ethan couldn't care less about scheming against Sylas anymore and quickly followed after him.
After all, if Nini really accepted Nostradamus's initiation gift later, then as the dignified lord and also the senior brother, was he supposed to snatch something back from his junior sister?
So the most important thing right now was naturally getting the Starry Sky Wand back first.
And while walking toward Nostradamus, he also crazily cast space magic into the air nonstop.
Whoosh!
[EXP: 75/100]
[EXP: 76/100]
[EXP…]
By the time Ethan reached Nostradamus's side, the experience points had already risen to 91.
At this moment, Nostradamus had also reached Nini's side. He placed both hands behind his back and tried hard to raise a smile on his stone face as he said, "Nini!"
"Hello, senior!"
Nini didn't know what the stone man was called, nor did she know his status in this territory.
But she had already observed earlier that everyone in the territory treated this stone man very respectfully, so Nini addressed him as senior to avoid any mistakes.
"Good, good! Such a polite young lady," Nostradamus nodded repeatedly and said, "Do you know what you did while unconscious when you first arrived today?"
"Senior, I don't know."
Although Nini answered obediently, there was a trace of speechlessness in her eyes.
That expression seemed to say…
'You already know I was unconscious, so how could I know what I did?'
'Do you think I'm an idiot, or are you the idiot?'
"It's alright if you don't know. I'll tell you—ahhh!", But right then, Nostradamus suddenly shouted and turned around to look at Ethan behind him, "Ethan, why are you stealing your junior sister's wand again!"
"This is my wand!"
As Ethan spoke, he waved the space wand toward the air.
But it was still only the size of a grain of rice.
Nostradamus naturally couldn't see it.
But after ninety-two experiments, Ethan had already mastered the skill of quickly locating his own space door.
And at this moment, Ethan naturally wasn't trying to show Nostradamus his space door yet.
He just wanted to level it up quickly and secretly amaze everyone later.
But what surprised Ethan was, the moment he cast a space door only the size of a grain of rice, Nini actually managed to instantly catch where his space door was. Her gaze locked onto it directly and wouldn't move away.
"Hmph!", Seeing Ethan snatch the Starry Sky Wand again, Nostradamus immediately got annoyed and said, "You still refuse to give up? I already told you that this kind of ability completely depends on awakening talent. It can't be obtained through hard work. Even if you wave the wand ten times or a hundred times more, what's the use?"
"You said that yourself. If I can open a space door within ten wand swings, then this Starry Sky Wand belongs to me. No taking it back later."
"Tch! Talk after you actually do it!"
Nostradamus's eyes were full of contempt. That expression was basically, disdain plus disdain plus endless repeating disdain.
[Space Door: EXP 100/100]
[System Notification: Space Door Level 1 → Space Door Level 2]
"Hehe!"
The instant Ethan heard the system level-up notification, his eyes lit up as he shouted, "Master, watch carefully!"
"Space Door!"
Ethan waved the wand and shouted.
Immediately after—
Bzzz~
A slightly louder electric sound rang beside Ethan's ear.
Flash!
Flash! Flash!
The instant Ethan cast the Space Door skill, a fist-sized space door actually appeared in midair.
Although it wasn't large, this thing that could suck in light and even tear through the void, was telling everyone in the world that this… was a space door.
"Y-You brat actually managed to make it work?"
Nostradamus raised his head and stared at the space door in midair with a shocked face.
Caw~ Caw~
At this moment, a flock of white snow crows happened to fly across the dark sky.
Immediately after, large numbers of snow crows suddenly fell from the sky one after another.
And those snow crows either had a bloody hole in their heads, or several holes only about the size of rice grains in their bodies or wings.
This left everyone confused.
When Ethan saw the holes on the snow crows, he let out a cold laugh and said, "Master, I wasn't testing things just now! I was placing enough space doors in the sky because I wanted to see if I could use this method to catch prey."
"Who knew, hahaha, it actually worked!"
"As the saying goes, it's not about how big a space door is, but whether it's useful."
"The smaller the space door, the better the concealment effect. Otherwise, how do you think these snow crows got shot down."
Nostradamus looked at his disciple in shock and almost couldn't stop himself from praising him, "That actually makes a lot of sen—"
But halfway through speaking, he forced himself to stop.
After all, just a moment ago, he had mocked Ethan for definitely failing. If he praised him now, wouldn't that just be slapping his own face?
