Chapter 659: Chapter 488 Aftertaste_1

But this was precisely what Gaven lacked, especially since he had practical experience. Under the guidance of a Transcendent Mage, his ability to integrate and understand was amazingly fast, to the point that even Philancy was a bit surprised.

From Gaven, Philancy obtained a large amount of intelligence. She was interested in a wide array of things, but Gaven could feel that she paid particular attention to the movements of the Red Robe Mages.

Gaven was very astute. Just from this, he could guess many things. The Spellcaster who had cursed her was very likely a Red Robe Mage.

She feared her own reaction to the fierce reputation of the Red Robe Mages. Therefore, she avoided talking about them.

Ordinary people could indeed be frightened by the name Red Robe Mage, after all, they were Felen’s largest Mage organization, possessing an entire Mage Empire of Ser, with a notorious reputation.

But Gaven was not an ordinary person. He not only provoked this group of Red Robe shaven-heads, but a conflict between them could also arise indirectly, possibly even this winter.

Gaven was likely to bluff his way through at that time.

However, it didn’t hinder him from taking this opportunity to collect more information about the Red Robe Mages, accomplishing two things at once.

As long as they stood on the same side, their relationship would take a step further.

Watching Philancy’s figure grow increasingly blurred, Gaven knew that it was already broad daylight outside the inn. Her time was up, and they could only meet again next month.

After Gaven stood up, he bowed solemnly to Philancy: "Madam, please allow me the honor of calling you ’Teacher.’ These past five days, I have learned many things from you. You have truly led me onto the path of an Arcane Adept. I will undoubtedly need to learn much more from you in the future."

Philancy snorted: "You honor me with the title ’Teacher,’ and I can bear it, but this matter must only be known to heaven, to Earth, to you and to me. Outside, you must never mention my name to anyone. Many of my enemies out there are not ones you can afford to provoke."

"After our interactions these days, does the Teacher think I’m the kind of person who likes to show off? Keeping a low profile and accumulating wealth is the true path to success. I will definitely not cause trouble for myself or for the Teacher," Gaven said with a reassuring smile. "Take these items with you. They can help pass the time if you ever get bored."

"Is it that terrifying Phantom you played for me during our first meeting?" Philancy recognized the origin of the Spirit Crystal Spheres at a glance.

"The Teacher still remembers that incident," Gaven said with an embarrassed smile. "At that time, I didn’t understand the Teacher’s situation and acted somewhat presumptuously."

Philancy gave Gaven a white-eyed glare: "It’s hard to forget. How could you think of such a thing? Showing a Ghost terrifying Phantoms—are you trying to scare her to death or to teach her new scaring techniques?"

"Haha..." Gaven laughed awkwardly. "Those are not terrifying Phantoms, but narrative Phantoms, one of which is about my domain, the uncut version of its founder, complete with sound and visual effects, and a compelling storyline. If you ever feel lonely, they are perfect for a change of mood."

Being alone with or without entertainment are two entirely different concepts.

This was vividly demonstrated by modern Earthlings.

Give them a smartphone with internet access or a computer with an internet cable, and they could stay huddled at home forever. But cut off their internet or uninstall their games, and they would go crazy in just three days.

"Oh?" Philancy said with great interest. "Since when did such intriguing things appear in Felen?"

Gaven casually replied: "This kind of thing is our original creation, currently in limited trial production. Those in the Teacher’s hands are internal versions. The abridged official versions won’t be widely released for another two months."

"Then I won’t be modest," Philancy said, taking the small bag with the Spirit Crystal Spheres.

"Then there are these five glasses. They are cocktails that I’ve crafted over these five days in a pleasant atmosphere, called ’Aftertaste.’ If you ever feel down, you could have a glass. It will allow you to re-experience today’s joyful mood and alter your state of mind," Gaven said, producing a wine box with a wooden bottom and a transparent crystal glass lid.

Inside were five large cocktails of different colors, yet emitting a consistent, faintly joyous scent. Merely looking at them seemed to improve one’s mood.

This was a new product from the newly acquired Special Ability ’Wine for Friendship.’

Any Special Ability’s description is only the most basic aspect and not the entirety. To fully exploit an ability, one must delve deeper into it with thoughtful exploration.

It was the same with ’Wine for Friendship.’ Its description, which mentioned that it could only be used once per person, referred to that direct and dramatic increase in favorability rather than the inability to use this ability to mix drinks for the same person again.

As the name suggests, ’Wine for Friendship’ is not a one-sided affair. One’s feelings are also involved, allowing the transmission of sincere emotions through the medium of the drink.

He felt genuine gratitude towards Philancy. After all, her help had been tangible. Although the majority of his newfound, formidable power was a result of his own prolonged efforts, without her guidance and catalysis, it would have taken longer to achieve. Moreover, he had Ghost Grape Wine and Autohypnosis, which could to an extent control, catalyze, and amplify his emotions.
