The Wizard World - Chapter 211

Chapter 211
It was a wise choice for Wisp’s organization to ask a strong wizard to deliver the eight pieces of crystal leaves .
Angele stayed in the living room and finished checking all the crystal leaves when the sun started setting .
*Thud thud*
Someone knocked on the door behind .
He returned the crystal leaves into the bag and hung it on his belt before opening the door .
It was Rossi, a wizard of the Jones Family trusted by Isabel .
The silver owl pattern on the top right of his robe was eye-catching .
"Master Green, I’m here to deliver the materials from master Isabel . "
Angele’s brow knitted . The number of rare materials Isabel delivered to him was worth much more than the work he did for her . However, more materials would always be helpful and there was no point for Angele to refuse it .
"You know the location," he responded with a light tone .
"Yeah . " Rossi nodded and clapped his hands . The dwarfs carried a bunch of boxes into the garden .
Angele moved to the side and watched them put down the boxes in the living room .
*********************
"Master Isabel…you have to stop . "
Inside a manor of the Jones Family, Isabel carefully picked up a flower from the garden and sniffed at it .
A female wizard apprentice stood behind her with a disappointed expression on her face .
"Master, why are you sending all your materials to the wizard named Green? That’s your allowance," the apprentice wondered .
"I think he’s just using you for the materials…That’s not what a true friend will do . "
"You’re progressing slowly recently…I’m wondering if you’re sending away too many resources . The family members will notice what you’ve been doing soon . "
Isabel hesitated and turned around .
"But…I sent him a lot of resources since the first time . I can’t just reduce the number without notifying him…and he’s not using me . "
"There are many wizards trying to do that…We’re from a strong family . I don’t recall him showing his gratefulness to you . " The wizard apprentice shook her head .
"I told you wizard Green is different . I trust him, he’s a friend of mine . "
"The main issue is that your progress is slowing down, and your grandmother will notice sooner or later . You’re borrowing materials from other wizards just because you want to support your friend . A true friend will stay with you even if you stop sending him materials . "
Isabel remained silent, not sure of how to respond .
The female wizard apprentice bowed and left after finishing her words .
Isabel stood in the garden and watched the apprentice leave .
"But…the only thing I can give him…are resources…" she muttered helplessly .
*********************
Angele watched the dwarfs carrying all the boxes into the living room .
"That’s it?" He counted the number and questioned .
It was different from the last time since there were only three boxes at present . Isabel’s material delivery usually came with at least five boxes .
Rossi nodded . "Yeah, that’s it for this time . Master Isabel needs to keep some materials for herself recently, so we can’t share that many resources with you anymore . Please understand . "
"No, not a problem at all . " Angele shook his head slightly . He was not in need of materials at the moment and he could summon Wisp when necessary . However, Angele was shocked that Isabel still had enough materials to support her own progress after sending him so many resources .


Rossi and the dwarfs left after Angele confirmed the materials .
Angele carried the boxes to the basement like usual and put the rhino blood into the potion room .
The number of materials Isabel had been sending to him was more than enough to pay for the stabilized rhino blood . He asked Isabel multiple times to stop sending that many resources to him, but she just would not listen .
Angele knew Isabel thought their relationship would deepen if she could support him with more materials . She had no idea how to communicate with a friend properly and would feel secure if Angele accepted everything she sent .
Angele left the basement after everything is stored and started checking the other items inside the black bag .
The crystal leaves were not the only things inside the bag delivered by the black cat . There were also six special family emblems that were crafted in silver . The patterns on the front side of the emblems varied . Some were flowers and some were birds, but all of them were surrounded by twisted runes .
"So this is the defensive rune matrix Wisp talked about . " Angele grabbed one of the emblems and started observing .

The one in his hand had engravings of petals and strings on its surface .
He carefully dropped the emblem to the floor .
There was no noise of the emblem hitting the ground . It just sank into the floor quietly .
A big gray bump appeared on the floor within two minutes . Angele stepped back and started observing the changes .
The bump was suddenly stretched by some strange energy wave . It became elastic and its height was growing fast .
The gray bump turned into a cylinder-shaped stone platform that was about one-meter-tall breaking from inside . Four glowing white cracks appeared on the surface of the stone platform shining like diamonds .
The floor stopped moving after several seconds .
Angele walked to the stone platform .
The front side of the platform slightly leaned forward . It was clean and smooth . There was nothing on the surface .


Angele raised his hand and lightly tapped on the stone surface .
A red light dot emerged out of the stone and sank into his chest .
Angele could feel the information of the defensive matrix being transferred into his brain .
He then tapped on the stone surface again .
*PA*
A white distorted wave started spreading out .
The wave moved out of the wall and passed through the garden .
The area around the house with a radius of ten meters was surrounded by the white wave .
Angele learned the effective range through the information .
The defensive matrix could easily cover a large area around the house .
The name of the matrix was Soaring Night Owl, which was mainly used as an alarm system . The matrix could protect the area from being detected by low-level tracking spells . The cost was one regular magic stone per three days or one mid-level magic stone per ten days . It was not that expensive to maintain .
Not all wizards were wealthy, but it was no problem to Angele .
He lowered his hand and checked the surface of the gray stone . A red circle slowly appeared in his sight that covered most of the area on the stone surface .
It was the basic function of the Soaring Night Owl, which meant that nothing was detected within the effective range .
If a wizard tried to cast a low-level tracking spell to check the area, the circle would become a small red dot and a noise that sounded like birds soaring would echo in Angele’s ears .
The magic circle had not yet been fully activated .
Angele took out a high-level magic stone and pressed it against the center of the red circle .


*Crack*
A notch appeared and fitted the magic stone in perfectly . The red circle blurred for a second and absorbed the stone .
"This high-level magic stone will keep the matrix going for months . " Angele did not care too much about using a high-level magic stone . The trading he had been doing recently involved a large number of valuable resources and some of them were priceless .
After everything was done, Angele took out the two other emblems .
He decided not to put all the control panels in the same room . He opened the door to the basement and walked downstairs .
The other emblems worked exactly like the Soaring Night Owl, Angele set them up in the main hall of the basement .
Quickly, two stone platforms with red and black crystal edges raised up in the hall .
The one on the left was named the Air Bat and the inspiration came from a magic creature named air bat . It had a great range that could cover the house, the lake, and all the guard posts around his residence . Air Bat could detect the life energy waves from creatures that reached a certain level .
However, its cost was higher than the Soaring Night Owl . One high-level magic stone could only keep it active for a month . The function sounded nice, but it would only work for certain targets .
The other matrix was called the Sanctuary that was mainly used to prevent curses from wandering souls or ghosts . It was a rare defensive matrix that could only be acquired through certain ways . Angele encountered cursed souls in Moon Gin Garden and the ruin of Axis of Time . He knew how hard it was to lift curses, so he decided to be more cautious .
Wisp probably spent a good amount of time trying to find the Sanctuary for him .
Sanctuary’s main function was to expel or attract the wandering souls within its effective range with a range similar to the Air Bat .
To attract the souls or expel them depended on how Angele wanted the matrix to do .
Capturing some weak souls would help Angele study them .
After the three defensive matrixes were set up, the only thing left for Angele to do was to wait for Wisp to pick up the potions he prepared .
Angele could start trying to advance to the next stage after the transaction was completed . His success rate was higher than 80% at the moment, so it should not pose a big problem .
