Angor saw Vai for the first time in front of the teleportation hall of the Sandworm Market.
Wa Yi wore a black hooded robe and stood motionless at the side of the teleportation hall. From afar, he looked like a black pillar. When he saw Dorcas and the others approaching, Vai moved to greet them.
When they were close enough, Vai removed his hood and bowed to Dorcas and Angor.
Angor finally saw Vai's face.
Vai had curly green hair, dark green eyes, and freckles on his face. He looked like a teenager.
However, since he was Dorcas' friend for so many years, Vai knew that he was much older than a teenager.
After bowing, Wai glanced at Angor from time to time as if trying to figure out who he was. As for Kael, Vai simply ignored him. An apprentice was not worth paying attention to.
Angor nodded politely to Vai and spoke to Kael, "Let's go."
Khael nodded in understanding and walked into the teleportation hall first, taking the initiative to handle the teleportation quest.
Their destination, the Garden of Labyrinth, was located in the neighboring Goman Kingdom. However, Goman Kingdom was vast, and the ruins of the Garden of Labyrinth were located in the center of the kingdom. Even with Gondola running at full speed, it would take Angor at least one and a half to two days to get there.
Using the teleportation array, however, would only take a few minutes to reach the Biron Tree Market. As for the cost, Kael would pay for it, so Angor was more than happy to do it.
While Kael went to do his job, Angor and the others entered the waiting area of the teleportation hall.
While Angor wasn't paying attention, Vai kept sending Dorcas hints with his eyes. It was clear that he wanted to introduce Angor.
Angor still looked like a red-haired, golden-eyed wizard whom Vai had never seen before.
Dorcas also received Vai's signal and understood what his friend meant. However, he was still hesitating. Should he introduce Angor? Or rather, how should he introduce Angor?
Just as Dorcas was hesitating on how to open his mouth, a clear breathing sound came from Wa Yi's abdomen.
He turned around and stared at Wai's abdomen with his burning eyes.
Vai hesitated for a moment and took out a stone slab from his robe. There was a nose embedded in the stone slab, and the heavy breathing came from this nose.
And the nose was breathing in Angor's direction.
"Good afternoon, Mister Dark Earl." Angor considered for a moment before he stepped forward and bowed.
His nose stopped inhaling.
Wa Yi closed his eyes. After a while, Wa Yi said, "My Lord said that you have the scent of Sir Phantom Demon on you."
What he heard was that the little guy's smell was exactly the same as that damned Saunders. It was definitely related to Saunders. What bad luck!
"You're right, Mister Dark. Phantom Master is my teacher."
Vait quickly thought of all of Sunders' students. Flora was a female, so no. Sumesh was already a truth-finder wizard, so no. There was only one answer left.
It was none other than the most famous, mysterious, and low-key new wizard, Angor Padt!
After guessing the identity of the person who had come, Wa Yi's expression was one of shock. He had always thought that the leader Dorcas had mentioned was a wandering Magus. He had never thought that it would be a famous extra-dimensional Magus.
"Mister Extra-Dimensional." Vai quickly bowed.
Angor didn't mind Vai's gesture. Instead, he kept looking at the Black Earl's nose.
He recalled Rein's comments about Black Earl and thought of something interesting. Before he could say anything, Kael came to him.
"Sir, it's done. The portal can be activated now. There are two apprentices who wanted to go to Biren Tree Garden, but they didn't see any protectors, so —"
Angor looked at Kael. "Don't worry. Dorcas is here. We can protect them together."
"You can protect them too. Why are you pushing it to me?" Dorcas complained.
"It's an acknowledgment of the strong."
"… Fine. I'll do it."
When they arrived at the portal, the other two apprentices were already waiting for them. They seemed to be a couple as they snuggled up to each other. When Angor's group arrived, they parted and bowed to them respectfully.
Without a protector, they wouldn't dare to go to the portal so easily.
Angor glanced at them to make sure they were level-2 apprentices.
Kael, on the other hand, seemed to know them. He greeted them and began chatting with them.
From Kael's conversation, he learned that these two people were customers who bought something from Kael's shop. Kael used the topic of "Is my stuff useful?" to talk about who these two people were and why they came to Billon Tree Garden.
Kael thought he was being polite, but the two apprentices were smart enough to know that Kael was trying to get information about them.
They didn't have anything to hide anyway, so they pretended not to know and told Kael everything they could.
They came from Biren Tree Garden and were members of a big family there. Their goal was to go home.
It was pointless information. The only thing worth mentioning was that these two apprentices were indeed a couple and also cousins.
Of course, Angor pretended he didn't hear anything. Dorcas, on the other hand, was looking at them with an enchanting smile. Angor could tell from his expression that the guy was imagining some interesting story again.
Two minutes later, the portal was activated.
Dorcas activated his barrier and covered everyone inside to prevent them from getting hurt by the space ripples.
Kael was the only one who took the initiative to leave the shelter. While he enjoyed the spatial distortion brought about by the teleportation, he also collected the shattered spatial energy.
This was normal for a space manipulator. Kael was only an apprentice, so this was all he could do. If it were an official Magus, they would even dare to directly condense spatial magic materials during teleportation.
This was the charm of the Sorcerer World. There were three major structures, countless branches, and hundreds of flowers blooming. Every Sorcerer had their own unique skills.
Several minutes later, the teleportation stopped. Without any accidents, they arrived at Biren Tree Garden.
The couple was glad that they arrived safely, while Kael was complaining that the teleportation was too short. They didn't even have enough space energy to pay for the teleportation fee.
The couple bid farewell to Angor and the other apprentices and left the portal. They officially entered the once bustling but now somewhat lonely wizard market — Biren Tree Garden.
It was Angor's first time here, but he had heard of the famous market before.
The Buren Tree Court was first built because of the Garden Labyrinth ruins. A large number of Extraordinaires came to explore, and some of them had been stationed here for a long time. At first, it was a small settlement, but it slowly grew and developed into a wizard market.
For thousands of years, Biren Tree Garden was prosperous because of the Garden of Labyrinth.
It wasn't until the ruins of the Garden of Labyrinth were explored that the place slowly declined. However, the location of the Biron Tree Court was not bad. There were large patches of lush forests nearby, and the aura of nature was very dense there. Later on, the Biros Family simply encircled a lush forest and carved a large-scale magic array, slowly growing this fertile land.
In the end, they not only managed to grow a large number of plant-type materials in the forest, but they also occasionally gave birth to nature spirits due to the rich nature energy.
Thanks to this, Biren Tree Garden wasn't as crowded as it used to be, but it didn't completely decline.
At least, compared to the sandworm market, this place was much more crowded.
There were also more wandering apprentices than the market.
The reason was simple. The rich nature energy meant that the primal mana here was also very pure. Compared to the market in the desert, this place was more livable.
There were tall trees everywhere in Biren Tree Garden. One could say that the entire market was built on trees. Tree houses and bridges could be seen everywhere.
It felt a bit like the Fairy Forest in Noon Farmer Duchy. However, unlike the Fairy Forest, which was inhabited by flower spirits, this place was mostly inhabited by humans.
Ever since they entered Biren Tree Garden, they kept hearing people talking about "Biren Family". Most of the shop signs also started with "Biren Family".
Biren Tailor Shop, Biren Armor Shop, Biren Alchemy Shop, Biren Cake Shop …
"If these are all run by the Biren Family, then they have a lot of businesses in their hands," Kael commented as they stood in front of Biren Cake Shop.
"Isn't that the same for most wizard families?" Vaay spoke up.
"The Noah Family is the same?" Kael asked in surprise.
Vaay nodded. "Yes. But we're scattered all over the place. I opened a shop called 'Noah Fortune Shop' in Mesopotamia. The other members of my family also have their own businesses. "
Dorcas confirmed Vaay's words. Vaay did have a fortune shop, but he only knew about death. That was why people called his shop "Death Inquisition Shop".
"It's rare to see a family like the Biren Family that has so many shops in one area," Vaay commented.
Dorcas said, "… Actually, the behavior of the Bilos family is normal. It's the Noah family that's rare."
Wa Yi's face was full of shock. "Are you serious? How come I didn't know about this? "
Dorcas didn't know what to say. By now, Kael and Kael understood why Dorcas called Vaay an otaku.
To put it mildly, Vaay lacked experience. To put it bluntly, he was a frog at the bottom of a well who thought that the sky was only as big as the mouth of the well. Of course, this might be an exaggeration. However, Vaay's experience and his own strength were indeed difficult to explain.
He was an old friend of Dorcas, but he hadn't leveled up yet. His family situation was one reason. Another reason was probably his lack of experience.
It was obvious that Dorcas had been to the Biron Tree Courtyard before. With great familiarity, he led them to a tall building.
It was the Biren Questing Hall.
This place was named after Biren Family, and it was indeed Biren's property. However, anyone could accept the quests here.
Dorcas didn't bring them here to accept missions. Aside from accepting missions, this place also accepted the sale of information.
"You want to know the layout of the Garden of Labyrinth, right? We have them here. Topographic maps, bird's eye views, and crystal balls that record the scenery of the Garden of Labyrinth. Which one do you want?" Dorcas looked at Angor.
Angor asked Dorcas to prepare the distribution map of Garden Labyrinth. He didn't expect Dorcas to bring him here directly.
"The ones sold in the Sandworm Bazaar are all from who knows how many years ago. The newest ones are definitely all here. See what kind you want," Dorcas said with a sincere expression.
Angor believed that Dorcas just didn't want him to pay. After all, the Garden Labyrinth had always looked the same. There were no major geological changes, so there was no need to update it.
Despite his thoughts, he still chose the items as he was told.
Soon, he found a general topographic map and a hand-drawn bird's eye view. It was worth mentioning that the bird's eye view was created by the painter to restore ancient buildings. It wasn't a complete ruin. Although some of the restoration was wrong, it still looked very similar to the real Nether City.
After making his selection, Dorcas said, "If you have any other information you want to know, you can go to the small room over there and ask. There's information for sale there. Oh right, the couple who used our teleportation array are from the Biren Family, right? You can try to use their names when you pay. Maybe you can get a discount. "
Angor didn't want to talk to Dorcas. He was a wizard, and he didn't want to lose face by using the names of two apprentices just for a discount.
"That won't be necessary. Let's go now," Angor said after paying the magic crystals.
"Why are we moving so fast? Don't you want to take a break? I heard Biren Tree Garden has a complete forest project, and the service is really good. Plus, they're all pretty apprentices. Maybe we can even catch a Nature Elf in the forest. That's a great deal. "
Angor was going to refuse because he didn't want to talk about such trivial things. But when he saw Dorcas winking at him, Angor remembered that Dorcas said he would secretly ask Wai for information.
Angor considered for a moment. "Sure. But you guys go first. I still need to study this map."
Dorcas didn't mind Angor's unfriendliness at all. He cheered and put an arm around Wai's shoulder. "Let's go. I'll show you the forest project here. You'll never want to stay at home again."
Wai didn't want to go either, but he couldn't refuse since Dorcas was dragging him.
Before Wai could leave, the stone slab with the Black Earl's nose on it flew out of Wai's hand and hovered behind them.
Wai was surprised. He quickly closed his eyes to sense the Black Earl's meaning.
A moment later, Wai opened his eyes with a strange expression. "My master doesn't want to go either. He's going to stay here. But I can go with you."
