The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 98: Initiation (3)

Angele rested for a while in the room and started meditating.

There were many ways for apprentices to meditate, and the meditation methods differed from one organization to another, but they all had similar effects.

Besides the rank and talent requirements, apprentices needed knowledge and resources to help them break the limit and ultimately become Wizards. Angele still needed Water of Asu and a suitable defensive spell. The meditation method he used was learned from Ramsoda School, and he found that its results were very close to the method’s he had learned from the Wizard book that Adolf had given him.

Nothing special happened during Angele’s stay in the hotel.

He barely communicated with others, and he did not even know their names. Most of the people in the hotel had the same purpose as Angele and spent their time checking the environment around the Moon Gin Manor every day. They weren’t interested in others, so no one tried to have a conversation with Angele. So besides meditating, he spent most of his time investigating the area, wanting to make sure he was relatively well prepared for entering the manor.

Angele found one strange thing about it - there were no animals that could be seen around it, not even insects. The grasses, trees, and any other plants also were non-existent. It looked like the whole area was ‘dead’. The only objects beside the manor’s cracked walls were black stones.

He investigated around the wall several times but gave up on the idea of going deeper after sensing the strange aura. He asked Zero to check the area, but sadly, nothing could be detected by the chip.

The chip was just a support tool and could not do everything for Angele. It buffed his five senses, but he still found no valuable information about the manor, which meant the mysterious power protecting the place was beyond his understanding. After several investigations, he decided to stay in the hotel and wait for the day to come.

Time flew, and the gap finally appeared on the date the squirrel mentioned.

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

The gray completely carpeted the sky, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate the heavy clouds.

Angele got out of bed and eyed the sky through the window. He saw nothing but the dark and dense clouds. The forest was quiet and birds were not twittering like usual.

“Finally.”

He inhaled once and put on his hunting suit, then quickly equipped himself with the bow and the dagger.

Angele opened the door quietly and saw a person standing in the hallway. The man was still wearing the black cloak and robe. He was wiping the dust off his clothes. It seemed like he had just woken up as well.

The man saw Angele and nodded. Angele still had not seen the man’s face since he never left his room without a mask and the oversized cloak.

The hallway was dark, and Angele’s brow furrowed but nodded in reply. He locked his door and walked down the stairs.

The man in the red robe and the old man and the young girl were already in the lounge. They were drinking hot milk the servers had brought them.

Angele sat down by an empty table, grabbed several biscuits, and drank some milk.

“Since everyone is here, I guess I’ll start talking,” the old man said in a deep voice after standing up.

He looked around, making sure he had everyone’s attention and cleared his throat. “I don’t care how you guys fond out about this place, but we need to work together in the garden if we want to take the treasures out of it. There is only five of us, so it will be hard for sure.”
