The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 74: Success (1)

As they passed through the garden, Alford whispered something to the guard beside him.

They weren't speaking in Anmag. It made Angele furrow his brows. Though he could hear what they were saying, he couldn't understand a single word.

The guard nodded in response before separating with the group and walking toward the right side of the garden. The garden was huge, and only after walking for more than 10 minutes did they finally reach the exit.

Angele finally saw the castle gate after walking past an ornamental pond. The gate was already open, and standing on both sides were maids and servants awaiting their arrival. It was still dark outside, but Angele could see the warm lights coming from inside the castle.

“Father, were you looking for me?” someone asked from behind.

“My son, you're finally here!” Alford exclaimed. This time, he had a face filled with gentleness — unlike when he was dealing with Tinos.

Outside the corner of Angele's eyes, he witnessed Tinos looking at his brother respectfully. After hearing his brother's voice, however, Tinos stopped looking at him nor showed any emotion on his face.

A blonde young man appeared from the corner of the garden and walked straight toward Alford. Angele looked at the man, his countenance turning stern. He was smiling; he had blue eyes and a balanced body. The man was handsome, and he looked identical to Tinos but was different. Angele could notice his eyes filled with confidence.

The young man's steps were heavy and steady. Angele felt like he was looking at a lion strolling in its territory. His expression turned more serious after that. Upon smelling a tinge of blood coming from the young man, Angele realized that this young man was a person who knew how to kill. The confidence radiating from his eyes indicated that he thought he's capable of anything. It was clear that the man's forged bloodlust wasn't a pretense. He must've had no small amounts of blood on his hands from his past experiences, which in turn numbed him toward violence.

“This is my other son, Harland Reed.” Alford introduced the man young to Angele.

“It’s a pleasure, Mr. Harland.” Angele smiled and nodded.

Harland still held a garden shear in his hands. It seemed like he could care less about the presence of a man with mysterious power. He took pride in his power. Harland glanced at Angele for a second before nodding as a welcome gesture but spoke none of such greetings. However, after glancing at Angele, Harland did a double-take, and he became surprised.

“My apologies. I never thought my father's guest was a strong warrior,” Harland said these words slowly. For a while, he looked at Angele, his face becoming solemn after.

“Haha, you're flattering me...” Angele replied, not understanding the underlying implication of Harland's words.

Harland handed the garden shear over to a worker at the side and walked toward Angele. He intentionally looked at Angele's sword for a moment, causing Angele to think Harland already had the knowledge of him being a top-level knight.

‘Zero, show me Harland’s information,’ Angele thought.

‘Analyzing… Harland Reed: Strength 8.2. Agility 6.1. Stamina 5.8. Genetic information: Unknown. Your possibility of surviving Harland’s attack within a 50-meter range is 48.22%,’ Zero reported.

‘Holy…’ Angele was surprised. It meant Angele would lose to Harland even with the assistance from his spells. Also, his attributes were extremely high.

‘A grand knight… That’s why he looks so confident,’ Angele thought. He knew there were many strong warriors here, but he didn’t expect to meet a grand knight with such high attributes.
