Ten days later.

In the evening.

A brown four-wheel carriage pulled by two black horses slowly approached the soldiers assigned to the outer area of Lennon City.

There were burning torches on the towers beside the entrance, and the flame was dancing.

Two chubby soldiers wearing white leather armor suits walked to the carriage. They were holding torches in their hands.

"Please show us your entry permit," they spoke with a loud voice.

The window of the carriage was opened by a pale hand. There was a young man sitting inside. He had no expression on his face. The soldiers could see his brown and white hair.

"Permit? What permit?" the man asked in a deep tone.

"Sorry sir, the order comes from the Lord himself, it’s to prevent the plague…" The soldier suddenly stopped talking after seeing the young man’s face, his expression looked quite surprised.

"Are you… Master Angele?!" He raised his voice.

"I am. What? You know me?" Angele’s eyebrows furrowed.

Angele heard people chatting outside the carriage.

"Mr. Tinos sent your pictures to all the guard posts and asked us to memorize your face. Let the carriage pass! It’s Master Angele!" the chubby soldier shouted and waved his hands.

"Tinos?" Angele rubbed his chin with his right hand and closed the window.

The soldiers outside drew their swords together to show their respect.

They watched the carriage moving to the direction of the city until it completely disappeared in their sights.

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

The carriage traveled on the bumpy road. Angele sat on his seat with his eyebrows furrowed. He looked at the road ahead and realized that the horses were not going to the direction he wanted. With a flick of his finger, a thin layer of green glow exploded on his palm and the horses immediately changed the direction.

‘The explosive spell on the note Master has given me was quite powerful. Without that, I probably could not finish them off easily. My initial plan was to do something with all the materials I have and then find a ship to take me back home. However, it seems like there’s something going on in the city. I hope I don’t need to spend too much time there.’ Angele rubbed the silver metal on the back of his right hand. It was the enchanted item Liliana gave him to help lift the curse. His Metal Mastery did not absorb it.

Complex patterns were engraved onto the diamond-shaped silver metal piece, which it looked a bit strange on the back of his hand.

‘I’m actually 18 years already. Time flies… I wonder how my family is doing overseas.’ Angele leaned to the window and watched the trees passing by.

He came to this land when he was almost 15 years old, and after about four years of hard work, he finally became a formal Wizard. Angele’s progress was much faster than most of the talented Wizard apprentices.

Formal Wizards could live for at least 300 years, and he had more than enough time to visit his family. However, there were no materials, no potions, no Wizardry books over the sea, and he had no place to trade. He just could not stay there for too long.

Angele laid his back on the seat and sighed. He suddenly heard a bird making noise outside the carriage.

He opened the window and a white pigeon landed on his legs. The pigeon’s eyes were completely black. They looked like two empty holes filled with darkness.
