Chapter 304
The escort sent by Vivian was a female wizard of great power belonging to her army named Liv and was also known as the Snake of the East .
Contrary to Angele spending nearly ten days during the time he was still first searching for the ruin, it had merely taken them five days to leave the volcano .
Liv told him of many shortcuts around the snow-covered volcano . Immediately they reported back to the headquarters before heading to Bass River .
They had not wasted any time along the way and quickly returned to the small wooden house that had been built by Angele .
**********************
By the riverside, a small house with black ceiling enclosed in white walls stood quietly .
Green trees were positioned at an area covered in the abundance of yellow grass .
At this place, Angele and a lady wearing a dark red cloak both stood there without making any noise .
It was currently noontime, and the golden sunshine reflected on the two’s faces . However, such bright light was unable to warm their bodies .
Angele looked at the wooden house he had built then turned around to look at a small mansion on the other side of the empty ground .
A pool had been built right in front of the mansion . The water was producing ripples and reflecting the sunlight .
"Was this built by master Vivian?" Angele looked at the lady wearing a dark red cloak .
"Yes, the third elder asked the best dwarf workers to build this mansion at this place . I hope you are delighted with the result though they did not have ample time for the finishing touches," the lady replied in a relaxed tone and with a crisp and clear voice . It was almost as if she sounded like a teenager .
"It is fine . I will live in my own house regardless, so you can have the mansion . " Angele’s brows drew together .
"Your wooden house is too small for us," Liv responded in the same manner . "The elder has asked me to stay with you at all times . Protecting you is my duty . "
She took off the hood she was wearing and revealed her long black hair and her pretty face . With the addition of long and sharp eyes and thin lips, the lady looked like a twenty-year-old lady .
"Or we can share the same bed . " Liv pursed her lips . "I do not think I’m that attractive to you, but I should make things clear first . You are not my type . "
Angele was rendered speechless, yet he was unconcerned about what Liv had just said . "Well, why do you need to stay with me at all times? Just how bad is the situation?"
"It is worse than you would think . " Liv turned around and walked toward the river . Scooping a handful of water from the river with both of her hands, she drank it quickly .
Angele hesitated for a while and nodded his head .
"Alright, let’s go to the mansion then . "
He had no intentions of building a deep relationship with a female wizard that was stronger than him . It would not be a wise decision .
"I will go pack up . " He turned around and walked into the wooden house .
Angele walked out of the door with two large travel cases quickly .
"Let’s go . "
Liv nodded .
They started heading to the other side of the empty ground .
The main building of the mansion looked like the character ‘T’ . On the left side of the ‘T’ was the pool, and on the right side was a small square .
There was no one inside the mansion, so the place was silent .
Angele walked to the pool and entered the building through the side door . Liv followed him, their footsteps echoing in the hallway .
"Where are the workers and maids?" Angele asked as he walked .
"We can hire them from the towns around, or you can find some from the non-human races . There are more options to choose from, but those areas are dangerous," Liv responded quickly . "And if you want beautiful girls or elves, you will need to buy them from the slave market . You are a formal member of the Elemental Hand, so you have the access to the market founded by the council . There are many high-quality slaves being auctioned on the market every day . "
"Can I find female wizards there?" Angele chuckled and shook his head .
"Why don’t you just pay me?" Liv pursed her lips . "Actually, you are the third elder’s son, so you do not need to in order to fight me . "
"Is that so?" Angele walked to the main door of the living room and pushed it open .
*Creak*
The door was not locked . What lied ahead was a living room with walls painted in brown .
The yellow glowing crystals on the walls made the room warm and bright . Several sofa chairs were located around the corners and there was a large red tree stump in the middle . Several white robes were hanging on the back of the main door .
Angele did not stop but instead went across the living room and entered another hallway through the back door .
By the end of the hallway, there was a large empty training square .
The training square was built using white stones . There were complicated runes engraved on the surface of its ground .
A black weapon shelf was set up by the square, loaded with weapons and gears . All the weapons were surrounded by a white glow which meant they would not do any actual damage to human bodies . It was a simple matrix widely used in training areas .
Angele left the hallway and walked to the weapon shelf . He took two crossguard swords from it and looked at Liv .
"Practice match? What do you say?" His brows furrowing . "You know how to use a sword, right?"
"You’re too weak to be my opponent . " Liv had a blank expression on her face .
"Why are you so confident?" Angele was surprised . "I thought only wizards like me would keep practicing close-combat skills, but it seems you are different . "
"I have lived in this world for too long, so I needed to find more things to do . I enjoy practicing sword skills . " Liv grabbed a crossguard sword from Angele’s hand .
"I prefer using spears more actually . " She slashed through the air using the sword .
