The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 104: Return (3)

The light from the cross slowly vanished after several minutes.

Angele put the robe down and packed everything up quickly. He hid the large claw into a black bag separately.

Angele calmed down quickly. He was still thinking about that girl who really creeped him out.

“I’m heading back to the school first!” Angele gritted his teeth. He pulled the dagger out of the wall and returned it back to the leather sheath.

“I must have triggered some hidden trap left by the previous owner of the manor.” Angele searched through his memory. He thought that the tall red cap mushroom he saw when entering the garden was the problem.

He remembered seeing it somewhere before, but he was not sure if Zero had a record of it.

‘Zero, try to catch any change happening in the energy field around and get me the data of that red cap mushroom,’ Angele ordered.

‘Mission created… Searching… Data not found.’

‘Analyzing…’

‘Four possible matches: Red Mouth Mushroom, 45% similarity. Dragonfly Mushroom, 34% similarity. Aria Mushroom, 13% similarity. Devil’s Cap, 11% similarity.’

Angele was disappointed at the result, but there was nothing Zero could do at the moment as he hadn’t yet collected enough data. Most of the data in the database were collected during his travels across the Anser Plain. On top of that, he did not have enough information on special materials or plants in the world of wizards.

Allen had said that the survivors from the garden went crazy and did many cruel things after. Angele thought he was probably in the same situation.

The girl would not appear twice a night, so Angele wasn’t worried that he had to face her again today. Still, he decided not to sleep. He spent the rest of the night meditating, so he could respond immediately to anything that could happen.

The next morning, Angele left the town as soon as the vibrant sunlight began to warm the day. He started heading toward the Ramsoda College at full speed.

Trees in the area were thick and old, but the leaves already started falling as the winter approached.

Wheels of the carriage crushed the dried-up leaves on the ground into pieces.

Angele sat tight on the driver’s seat, checking the surroundings constantly.

Angele was very close to Lennon City, but he decided to head to the school first. He needed Master Liliana’s help to lift the strange curse.

He kept advancing along the main road. Angele barely stopped since he wanted to get there as soon as possible. Angele arrived at the logging site where they had hunted the Glowing Elephants after traveling for a while.

“Almost there.” Angele was relieved. Seeing something familiar to him made him feel better.

Angele did not stop. Although he could change routes and visit the city first, he decided to deal with the more important matter.

A chilling wind was blowing over Angele’s face. It felt like needles pricking his skin.

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

Several days later, the ruin above Ramsoda College.

The sky was blue like a huge sapphire, and puffy clouds were floating above the muddy land.

A black carriage was approaching the ruins quickly between the yellow trees. Its wheels were spinning fast, and its noise drove the birds away.

The carriage looked like a black dot swimming in the sea of trees; it was fast and steady. A young man with brown hair was driving the carriage. Several tree leaves dropped down to his face because of the blowing wind, but he did not seem to care.
