The Wizard World - Chapter 292

Chapter 292
‘My goal was to test my new forcefield and complete the mission . It seems everything went according to my plan . ’
Angele modified his mentality frequency and talked to Henn . He was walking quickly in the heavy rain . He went around the city and found a small road .
‘Time to meet up with Mincola and the group . Where’s the level 2 spell model you promised me?’ he asked .
‘Don’t worry . I’ll give it to you when the time is right . ’ Henn, chuckling, gave a vague answer .
Angele continuously bugged Henn many times about the spell models right after she woke up, but she just would not tell him exactly when .
Angele returned to the Dream Inn to claim the reward of the mission and left right after . He walked down the street beside the river and entered a random tavern at around the corner .
There were several pedestrians running down the street and no one was waiting in front of the tavern due to the heavy downpour .
He pushed the door open .
*Ding*
The bell on the door rang as Angele stepped into the tavern .
The warm fragrance of the wines permeated the air . Patrons of the tavern were chatting and yelling . There were also people playing cards in the corner .
Angele’s brows furrowed . He glanced around and walked straight to a corner on the other side .
There were five or six people sitting around several tables . The conspicuous outfits they were wearing were different from the other patrons in the tavern .
Mincola, Rose, and a white-haired lady were sitting together around one of the tables .
The lady was pointing at a light-yellow leather scroll on the table .
Angele’s footsteps attracted the patrons’ attention, with some of them glaring at him .
However, they did not utter a word as he was but a stranger to them .
Mincola stood up first .
"Hey, Green! You’re finally here . "
Rose and the lady just nodded their heads and smiled slightly .
Angele walked to the table and sat down by Mincola .
"Thank you for that tip, Rose . It helped me a lot during the mission . " He looked at Rose .
"It’s fine . Although my battle skills are weak, I still want to prove myself," Rose responded in a light tone .
"Who’s this?" Angele turned to the lady who was seated beside Rose .
Silky smooth and untainted, the white-haired lady’s long hair draped over her shoulders . She wore crimson eyeshadows and a white dress . Overall, she looked rather young and attractive . Right beside her chair was a black wand of great length .
"Name is Celine . Nice to meet you, wizard Green . " The lady named Celine raised her right hand as greeting .
"Nice to meet you too, wizard Celine . " Angele raised his left hand and tapped on the lady’s palm . "I’m still trying to get used to the strange greeting gesture here . It’s quite unique . "
(ED Note: Yep, they’re doing high-fives as a greeting . )
"Haha, understandable . " Celine smiled and nodded . She moved the leather scroll slightly so everyone around the table could see it .
"We’re discussing the best route to Elemental Hand . This is a map I acquired from a local wizard . It’s not very accurate but we have already made several different plans . Come have a look, wizard Green . "
Nodding in affirmation, Angele lowered his head and started inspecting the map .
Three red lines were marked on the scroll and the black dots represented the locations .


The city was marked by a black dot as well and their destination was a larger black dot .
"What’s wrong with the shortest route?" Angele blurted out in question . He noticed that one of the routes was much shorter than the other two which he had assumed right away that the former might be dangerous .
"Well, there’s a big problem with that route . It’s the same route used by the strongest wizards from the group . There’s a rumor out there that someone wants to kill them and take their badges along the way . We might get into trouble if we choose this one," Celine explained .
"Why don’t we wait for several days instead before we leave?" Angele looked at the map .
"We need to arrive at Elemental Hand before the deadline, so we can’t waste time . Several wizards have been assassinated on this route last year while heading to an organization called Lycra . That’s the only path they could use . Also, the area around it is…"
"You’re making it too complicated . The main point is we can’t use this route because assassins are targeting wizards who want to join Lycra and they might mistake us for being their targets," Rose interrupted . "It is said that those assassins are capable of slaying rank 2 wizards . I don’t think we can fight back at all once we get ambushed by them . "
"Let’s choose a different route then . " Angele nodded slightly . "Safety is our priority . "

"I agree . We’ll all die if the assassins are as strong as the rumors said . Let’s choose the second route . It’s a bit longer but it’s safe . " Mincola pointed at a red line .
"What do you think?" he asked .
Angele and Rose both nodded at the same time .
"Sure, when are we leaving?" Celine wondered .
"Is everyone prepared?" Mincola eyed the members .
"I’m ready . " Rose shrugged .
"I just need to pick up my travel case," Angele responded .
"Me too . " Celine nodded . "Just tell us the time . "


"Let’s start moving now . We don’t have much time left, right?" Angele chuckled .
"Sure . " The others all agreed with him .
The four went to pick up their travel cases after leaving the tavern . It was still raining but they gathered outside the city gate quickly .
Mincola hired four carriages for each of the wizards . They each entered their own carriages and quickly left the city within the heavy downpour .
The noises coming from the hooves and wheels had entirely been masked by the sound of the downpour .
*******************************
Angele was worried about their group being attacked along the way, but nothing happened .
The four did not encounter any problem during the trip .
The only thing Angele did was to clean off the broken stones and trees on the road . He did not even find any mutated beast .
Angele had carried enough nutrient potions to be used as a substitute for his meals .
They arrived at the territory of Elemental Hand successfully .
The entrance to the organization was literally a towering brown boulder .
On the surface of the boulder was a carved human face of humongous size . The face had its eyes closed, while its mouth—completely opened—was the entrance to the organization’s territory .
There were carriages traveling in and out of the entrance and were divided into two categories: carriages transporting resources and carriages transporting the new members .
Majority of the newly-recruited members were wizard apprentices . While the rest of them were formal wizards, only a few were on par with Angele .
All the wizard apprentices being brought into the organization possessed their own recommendation letters and were being escorted by formal wizards .


These wizards were carrying either organizational badges or special enchanted items .
Each member of the Elemental Hand patrol team was riding a special white bird . These aerial mounts were constantly taking flight from and landing on a platform right beside the entrance . Specialists had been hired to take care of these birds while they weren’t on patrol .
The four wizards quickly finished the registration process and were given a different-looking badge after they were officially accepted as formal members of the organization .
The registration process was easy due to Elemental Hand being associates with Dark Wizard Tower . Some of the elders of Elemental Hand had been, after all, assigned by Dark Wizard Tower .
The badge Angele acquired during the competition was different from those given to members who weren’t members of Dark Wizard Tower .
He thought he would have to pass a number of challenges before he could be accepted officially .
There were several caverns and tunnels within the territory of Elemental Hand . Similar to a nest of ants, each cavern served its own function . Most of the people Angele met inside the tunnels were wizard apprentices .
The main tunnel connected the entrance of the organization to the platform atop the mountain . This was where the council hall of Elemental Hand was located, and its appearance was similar to a small palace .
As a new member, the organization required him to search for a place to live in within the territory and teach the wizard apprentices several courses . Angele was also required to leave his communication rune to the council so that the elders could communicate with him when necessary .
All the requirements could easily be fulfilled .
Angele, Rose, Celine, and Mincola talked to the several rank 2 wizards from the council . They were the strongest wizards belonging to the organization .
They were a bit confused, however, as the whole process itself seemed a bit too simple and the higher-ups of Elemental Hand seemed busy dealing with something else . Thus, they decided to find their respective places to live in first . Angele learned that there would be ten more wizards who will be joining the organization .
Angele thought for a while and understood the reason . The organization would never trust them like how they would trust the wizard apprentices . Wizards could do anything they wanted to as there was barely any restriction in the territory .
Elemental Hand’s territory was a bit complicated and was divided into three areas: Star Dew Mountain, Bass River, and the underground caverns . The whole territory had a similar size to Nola .
Angele checked the map given to him by the wizard apprentice at the registration desk and the residential areas were marked clearly on it . There were about ten major cities in the territory and each city had a population of about half a million people .
Angele picked a remote area nearby Bass River and built a small wooden house . The only protection the house had were the wooden fences around it .
Henn had kept her promise . However, when she double-checked the requirement for the spell, she realized that Angele must still finish learning several basic courses before he could fully comprehend the level 2 spell model .
