It was a starless night.
The lone moon hung in the sky like a large, shining jade plate, which contrasted sharply against the clear sky.
Several palm-sized figures suddenly flew across the night sky. Only a wisp of dark mist could be seen under the bright moon. Other than that, there were also strange giggles.
In Water Grasse's Golden Cross Academy, Leonrick was accompanying Margot when he suddenly looked out of the window. The shadows of the trees were swaying in the wind as if they were ghosts.
Leonrick didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of worry.
All of a sudden, Leonrick noticed a shadow flashing past his window. It was so fast that it disappeared in a flash. When he looked again, the shadow was already gone. Leonrick stared out of the window for a long time, but nothing happened other than the swaying shadows of the trees.
Leonrick shook his head and rubbed his temples. Was it because of what Su Lu had said during the day that he was hallucinating under the psychological pressure?
That was a wizard we're talking about.
To the common folk, wizards only existed in legends. However, as the head of the Griffin Family, Leonrick knew a lot about wizards. Three hundred years ago, there was a princess of Zeal Dominion who studied wizardry, but she disappeared without a trace. According to the official records, she died of an illness in the palace. However, according to the Griffin Family's secret, the princess left Zeal Dominion to search for the method of immortality.
Leonrick had never seen a real wizard in person, but he had read a lot about them. When he was young, he wanted to become a wizard as well. Unfortunately, he never found the right path.
"Is it really a wizard?" Leonrick looked at the moon in the sky and mumbled, "If Sulu is right, Margot shouldn't have … Whatever. What's done is done. We have to find a way to make up for it."
She was his daughter, after all. Leonrick didn't want to be too harsh on her even if she was already in this state.
"Also, who is this' Magician 'that Baal mentioned? It'll be great if we can capture Baal and ask him. " However, Leonrick knew he couldn't touch Baal for now. As the head of a city, it wasn't hard for him to get information about the city. In just a few hours, he learned that the young man who might be a sorcerer had moved into Barr's villa.
Only the heavens knew what kind of lies Barr had used to make the great wizard not kill him!
While Leonrick was still worrying, he heard footsteps outside. Sulu opened the door and came in.
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Leonrick asked.
Sulu looked worried. "Mister Leonrick, there are two more strange cases. I think the noise came from the president and the doctors."
"Two more cases? That's more than a hundred cases, right? "
"Yes, exactly one hundred."
Leonrick rubbed his messy hair. Why did he have to deal with both internal and external problems at the same time?
"Well, no matter what, I'm still the owner of Water Grasse, and I'm in the hospital. I'll go take a look. You stay with Margot. "
…
Leonrick wasn't the only one who was sighing at the moon. Angor was also looking at the shining moon. But he wasn't looking at the moon in the sky. Instead, he was looking at the moon in the water.
He opened the door and saw a long waterway. The moon in the sky was reflected on the waterway just like that. Accompanied by the gentle breeze, the moon in the water rippled and sparkled, gently and beautifully.
Angor slowly rowed the boat along the waterway. The moon in the sky and in the water reflected each other.
When the full moon reached the top of his head, he stopped.
He came to a gap between two tall buildings in the Bay Area. There was a narrow and deep waterway here. Angor steered the boat into the city. On both sides of the street, some beggars were hugging their legs and shivering under the streetlights. They looked so pitiful. When Angor passed by, the beggar suddenly opened his eyes and saw Angor leaving. He took out a microphone with a thin string attached to it and spoke in a low voice, "Tell the master that the target is here."
The beggar thought he was speaking in a low voice, but Angor had been using his spirit feelers to observe the surroundings. Of course, he didn't miss anything.
"Using a microphone? Looks like the master of this place isn't that good." Both the one-sided voice transmission spell and the mind synchronization spell were only level-1 cantrips. Angor thought to himself that he overestimated Magician's ability.
Yes, Angor was going out in the middle of the night to meet this "Magician".
With Baal's help, Magician agreed to meet Angor, but Angor had to decide the time and place. Angor didn't object. He was here to talk to "Magician", so he didn't want to be too arrogant. Making compromises in a proper way would make the conversation easier.
Angor followed the water and saw a barbed wire fence at the end of the narrow waterway, which stopped the boat from moving forward. At the same time, a hidden door appeared on the wall nearby. Angor stood up and gave it a gentle push, which opened the door.
There was a long staircase leading from the top to the bottom. Every once in a while, an oil lamp would appear on the wall.
Angor walked for about a minute and stopped about ten meters under the water. At the end of the staircase was a simple bronze door.
The door was open, and Angor could see the vast space inside.
A man wearing Magician's standard attire was sitting at the head of a long table. There was no one else in sight.
However, Angor clearly heard heavy breathing coming from some dark corners.
Angor thought Magician chose this place to do something for his own benefit, but he was disappointed by the result.
The people hiding in the dark were all mortals. They might have some fighting skills, or they might be knights, but they couldn't do anything to Angor.
As for Magician, he didn't check the man's level right away. Instead, he lowered his hat and walked to the other side of the table without hesitation.
The table was about five meters long. Magician sat on one end while Angor sat on the other. There were tea, snacks, candlesticks, and flowers on the table.
"Good evening, Mister Magician." Angor took off his hat and put it on the table.
Magician lifted his head and saw the eerie smile on the black hat. For some reason, he felt a chill down his spine. It felt like the man was laughing at him.
"How should I address you, mister?" The man spoke in a low, hoarse voice.
Angor glanced at the mask on Magician's face. "Masquerade, you're right. You can call me that, mister. "
"Mister Mask, huh?" Magician chuckled softly. It was a nickname he came up with at the last minute, but he didn't mind.
Magician couldn't see through the young man's thoughts. He had been observing the young man ever since he left Baal's mansion. Everything about the young man looked normal, but there was also something strange about it. Just like the strange smile on the hat, it gave Magician goosebumps.
"Baal said you wanted to see me, Mister Mask?"
He didn't want to waste too much time and went straight to the point.
Angor chuckled. "I'm new here, and I want to know if there are any wizards or organizations around Water Grasse. That way, I can avoid conflict and find someone to rely on."
He did not reveal his true purpose. Information exchange between wizards required an equal exchange of information. If he acted too impatient and revealed what he wanted to know right away, it would put him at a disadvantage. If the man was smart enough, he would wait for a better offer. Angor's indirect approach, on the other hand, was more like a "visit". It was less of a "deal", and it would be easier for him to get information out of the man.
Magician hesitated. "I don't think there are any organizations around Water Grasse. Or rather, I haven't heard of any in the entire Daybreak Court or the surrounding kingdoms."
Magician paused for a moment before continuing, "If there was, I would have gone to learn from him."
"Oh?" Angor rolled his eyes. "Are you a loner as well, Mister Magician?"
Magician nodded. "I came to the wizarding world by accident. I've been training on my own for most of my life. I only started to talk to other wizards recently."
Angor was sure that Magician was only a level-1 apprentice. If he could just pick up a channeling method and start practicing it, he would have to be extremely lucky, have a suitable physique for the channeling method, and have a high compatibility with the model. Otherwise, he would just be wasting his life away.
"I see." Angor pretended to be enlightened. "Do you know which organization is the closest to here?"
Angor paused a little and showed a worried look. "I've reached a bottleneck in both my meditation and spells. I need someone to teach me something. That's why I left the mountain and came here. "
Angor told Magician a lot of information, such as where he came from, and how he wanted to talk to other wizards. He wasn't lying, but he wasn't telling the truth either.
Magician shook his head. "I don't know either."
Angor carefully observed Magician's eyes. The man was speaking with sincerity, and it didn't seem like he was lying. Besides, he didn't need to lie about something like this.
Angor sighed in his mind. He didn't expect to get nothing out of this meeting he was hoping for.
It couldn't be helped. Judging from Magician's behavior and his surroundings, Angor could tell that the man was an unorthodox wizard. Even if he had supernatural power, he didn't have the ability or knowledge to match it.
"Mister Magician, you said you've been talking to other wizards recently, right? Do you know any of them who are well-informed? "Angor didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity.
Magician considered. "No. The ones I know are scattered in several nearby countries. They're in the same situation as me."
Angor sighed again. He needed to find another way. Maybe he should visit the royal court. Considering the resources of the kingdom, they should have some knowledge.
Magician suddenly said, "No, there might be someone who knows."
