The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 164: Lay Low (3)

He walked down the dark path and went across a small forest, then he arrived at a small house.

Two oil lamps were hanging on the door of the house. The dim light only brightened about a small area in the front, and the oil lamps knocked on the door from time to time as the wind blew.

Angele wiped the dust off his clothes and walked to the fences of the yard.

He put his hand on the cold wooden handle and pushed it slightly.

"Dennis! You’re back." In the yard, a cute chubby girl wearing a gray robe was watering the flowers. She turned around and raised her head.

"Yeah, where’s Sidman?" Angele asked.

"He’s inside."

"I’ll talk to you later."

"Sure."

Angele passed through the yard and entered the house. It was bright inside, and the walls were decorated with fine glass lamps.

It was warm and cozy inside. The fragrance of fruit wine permeated the air.

An old man with white messy hair sat in a sofa quietly in the living room explaining something to the Wizard apprentice named Sidman in a low voice. Two glasses of warm green wine were placed on the table in front of the two.

Angele could also smell some spices he could not recognize in the room.

He was a bit worried when he decided to disguise himself as Dennis. However, he felt relieved after seeing the old man. The old man was just a below average Wizard. He had not yet reached the Gas stage.

If the old man had reached Gas or Liquid stage, there would be no point for him in staying beside a countryside and collect materials. Joining any major Wizard organization would bring him much more benefit.

The old man’s Mentality was much lower than Angele, so he was not worried that the man could see through his disguise.

Angele was not expecting to meet a high-rank Wizard, but he was injured, and the signet was the only thing he could rely on at the moment. He also wanted to save the charges for more important matters.

"Master, I’m back." He imitated Dennis’s voice.

"Alright." The old man glanced at him for a bit and nodded, then continued to chat with Sidman.

Dennis was just a rank 1 Wizard apprentice, but he was the son of the old Wizard’s younger brother. Angele learned the information during the interrogation. It seemed that Dennis did not get treated differently due to his relationship with the Wizard. His rank was lower than the other two Wizard apprentices, so he had to clean the rooms every day and carry daily supplies back from the town.

Dennis came to the Wizard one year ago. He was having trouble progressing and he barely talked to the old man. He would rather take the books back to his room and read them himself.

Also, the old man did not treat Dennis like an apprentice. Dennis was shy and quiet, so it was not hard for Angele to act like him.

Angele was alone most of the time and he got used to it already. One of the characteristics of being an introvert was having a preference of not communicating with people.

Old man Markolov was wearing a white robe. There was a silver metal string inserted into his collar. He was explaining things to Sidman, but Sidman did not seem to understand what his master was saying.

Angele listened to their conversation for a while. They were just talking about the fundamentals of energy particles. It was just a waste of time for him, so he went straight to Dennis’s room on the first floor. Dennis had said that Wizard apprentices were only allowed to live in one of the rooms behind the living room.
