The Wizard World - Chapter 309

Chapter 309
Angele left the carriage carrying his pouch that had the box which contained the cube .

After spending so long in checking the merchandise, it was now afternoon .

The orange light from the setting sun illuminated on the ground .

"La~Lalala~Lalalala~"

He heard someone singing from a carriage on the other side .

Angele turned around .

A young girl sat beside the opened door of the carriage; her long, black hair was eye-catching .

The girl’s legs were long and slim . She was wearing brown leather boots and a pair of tight blue pants . The hems of the pants were slightly damaged, but she still looked attractive in them .

There was a white flower in the girls’ hand and she was sniffing at it carefully .

The sun was still setting . The vibrant light shined upon her white one piece and black coat . She looked like a girl that did not belong to this land .

Angele looked at the girl for a while . She reminded him of someone familiar, but he just could not come up with the name .

"It’s the daughter of a family we met on the road not so long ago . We’re taking them to the city," Freywood jumped off the carriage and explained . "If you’re interested, I can…"

"No, it’s fine . I’m not interested . It’s just that…" Angele shook his head . "Nevermind, I’ll be leaving now . "

Liv followed glaring at him as they started walking, but she did not say anything .

Angele took out the queen's cube and looked at it . He thought that it was the only thing related to the souls among the goods . He wanted to do some experiments with it after he went back . He had seen something similar back in the Six Ring Area, but he did not purchase it due to the ridiculous price .

Many wizards tried to study the secrets of the soul form, but most of the rules could not be applied to the souls and its properties were ever-changing; the thing they found helpful yesterday would become meaningless the next day .

Angele walked to the mansion and Liv followed after him .

Two maids saw the two wizards returning to the mansion so they opened the door quickly .

Angele heard someone calling him with a crisp voice right after walking past the fences .

"Masters…please wait . "

Liv and Angele turned around and saw the girl that was singing running to them, but she was stopped by the two maids .

A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman got off the carriage that the girl came from slowly . Their faces were pale and they both looked tired . Angele noticed the high-quality clothes they were wearing .

Angele assumed that the girl probably came from a noble family that had lost their territory .

"What do you want?" He waved his hands and asked the maids to let them come in .

The girl walked to the two wizards and lowered her head . She bit her lips slightly and her face turned pale .

"Iris! Apologize to the two master wizards and come back now!" The middle-aged man was almost shouting .

"Your name is Iris?" Angele questioned .

The girl nodded right away, she looked at her parents but she decided to stay .

"I…I…Could you hire me, masters? We’re seeking shelter as my mother is too weak for long travels…" Her voice was so low that Angele could barely hear her word .

"If you can offer us a shelter, I can do anything for you!" The girl suddenly raised her head .

"What a waste of time . " Liv shook her head and walked away . She did not think that the girl had such high value .

Liv knew what the girl was planning . She started singing right after Angele left the carriage and acted like she was doing everything just for her mother . The girl was begging for the sympathy of a wizard and she thought that Angele might be interested in her body .

Liv had lived long enough to see most of the dirty tricks played by the mortals in the society . Girls like Iris once lived in wealthy families and the long trips were just too tough for them .

The girl was a virgin, but Liv doubted if Angele would be interested .

He could just purchase a whole bunch of girls from the slave market instead if he had the intention .

Angele watched Liv leave as he pursed his lips into a smile .



The girl named Iris reminded him of the girl he trained back in the Lennon City . Tia was just delivering food to him .

"So explain to me, why are you valuable to me? Why should I offer you a shelter?" He was mocking the girl .

The girl lowered her head again, not sure how to answer the question . She held her fists tight and her body was trembling .

"Iris!"

Suddenly, a boy with a short brown hair jumped off one of the carriages and yelled . There was a bitter smile on his young face .

The girl bit her lips after hearing the boy’s call .

Angele shook his head and turned around . He started walking to the mansion again .

"You’re brave enough to walk to me, but you can’t prove me that you’re a valuable asset," he spoke in an uncaring tone .

The boy ran to Iris and tried to grab her right hand, but she just walked away .

Tia knew what she wanted at the beginning, yet the girl named Iris never had a clear goal .

***************************

Three days later…

It was early in the morning and the sun was still raising .

Angele stood quietly on the training ground .

*CHI CHI CHI*

It sounded like something was breaking through the air .

There were countless silver strings appearing and disappearing around his body .

It looked like Angele was just standing there with his right arm in the air, but the crossguard sword in his hand was moving so fast that it turned into a blurred shadow .



Several minutes later, the silver strings vanished into the air and the crossguard sword slowly stopped .

*CHI*

He did a front slash again as he took one step forward, leaving a silver trail of the blade in the air .

Angele had a blank expression on his face, he started swinging his sword again .

The chip was reporting back to him every second, ‘Modifying the sword skill set…Combo is 88 . 75% completed…Slash combo is 92 . 11% completed…’

The faster Angele swung his sword, the more frequently the chip would report back .

It almost looked like there was a distorted shadow flashing on the platform . The trails left by the moving sword connected each other and turned into a long silver string twisting around the blurred shadow .

Angele decided to improve his sword skills after his attributes increased . The first version of the sword skill combos was now too weak for him .

*WOO*

The wind brought by the silver blade blew away the dust from the ground .

Liv was waiting quietly beside the platform, she leaned against the wall and watched Angele improving the sword combo .

Time was flying .

The wind brought by the sword was getting stronger and stronger .

*Crack*

It sounded like a wood stick broke into half .

Angele stopped moving right away .

He looked at the broken sword in his hand and asked the chip to stop the process .

The broken tip of the sword was left on the platform .



‘Without the cursed scimitar’s buff, my attributes are much lower than before . " Angele shook his head slightly and dropped the sword to the ground .

"That's the fifth one . " Liv pursed her lips .

"Well, these weapons are too weak . " Angele took a deep breath and raised his left hand . The maid immediately brought him a clean blanket and a basket of water .

"High-quality swords are hard to find . You can ask master Vivian to find you one when she came back . " Liv nodded .

"I will likely craft one myself later . " Angele shook his head slightly . "I will go have some rest . "

"Sure . "

Angele left the training ground, went to the second floor, and entered the bedroom . He started meditating right away .

Half an hour later, he slowly woke up from the meditation .

‘Show me my body condition . ’ he ordered .

‘Angele Rio . Strength 12 . 0 . Agility 11 . 5 . Stamina 16 . 0 . Mentality 79 . 5 . Mana 57 . 2 . Genetic limit reached . Status: Healthy,’ Zero reported back quickly .

‘I lost the buff from the scimitar after I broke it . Although the life essence of the scorpion woman is great, my attributes are still much lower than before . ’ Angele’s brow furrowed .

"The scimitar can’t be the only cursed weapon," he muttered as he turned off the crystal scorpion and took out the black box . "What do you think, Henn? Cursed weapons are great, right?"

"Don’t rely on cursed weapons too much . The buff is great for sure, but you will regret once more and more impurities gather .

"Anyway, it’s time for us to leave . Liv will be focusing on her study for a while, so we should go to the ruin right now . It will only take you about one week to finish the whole mission . You have completed the illusion magic circle in your bedroom already, right?"

"Yeah . " Angele’s expression turned serious . "I won’t do anything to Vivian after this . Don’t drag me into your personal revenge . "

"Ha, don’t worry, this is the last time . Activate the magic circle tonight when Vivian is about to leave the headquarters . This is our best chance . " Henn sneered .

"Alright then . "

Angele nodded slightly .
