"Angele, we don't need to talk about these things," Tinos smiled and tried to cover for Monty.
"About ten more days. I'm waiting for my people to come back from the dock." The middle-aged man scrunched his eyebrows. "Master Angele, since you're from Ramsoda College, can I ask you about a disease?" Tinos turned around and looked at Angele, who was listening to their conversation.
Monty cleared his throat. "There's a plague in the southern provinces. Within three days, people who were infected would slowly develop red blisters all over their bodies. These blisters were not filled with thick liquid, but with fresh blood. On the third day, the blisters will explode with a light touch, and the patients will bleed to death. Have you heard of this disease before? "
Twisted Blue Prison was the only prison in Lennon City.
"Master Angele, right?" the captain asked.
The prison was located in the most remote part of the city.
"But without this treasure, Anuya's clan will probably fall into decline." The middle-aged man sighed. "They were once a powerful family, but they lost their treasure."
"We're here, Master." The coachman was a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and dark skin.
In the middle of a large green forest, a yellow manor-style building complex stood quietly.
The coachman was sent by Alf to drive him. His name was Tom, but Angele did not know his last name. Maybe Tom's name was just a nickname.
"It's already November. I think it's the 18th, Master," Tom answered.
"Yes, Master."
"Holy gear is a high-level concept gear. However, the situation at the auction that day and the speed at which he disappeared didn't seem to be something that could be produced by a concept gear with life energy as its main body. It's more like a wizard's trick, "the middle-aged man said slowly with his eyebrows furrowed. Most people did not see the frozen scene, they only saw the scene before and after. It was as if Anyuya had teleported, moving from one place to another in an instant.
Angele spent most of his time studying potions, meditating, and teaching Tia. He had nothing else to do at the moment. He would visit Tinos or Harland sometimes.
Angele pursed his lips into a smile. "How many prescriptions are there?"
The pale yellow walls and sharp roofs made it look like the top of a castle or a church. These buildings were surrounded by wooden fences, and outside the fences were teams of patrolling guards. They wore black heavy armor and held swords or hammers in their hands. All of them wore cold expressions.
The trees on the side of the road were bare, and the occasional passersby were all wearing thick clothes. The entire street took on a greyish hue. The sunlight that shone on the ground had almost no color. It was very, very faint.
After the Glowing Elephant incident, Angele traded the unimportant parts of the elephant's carcass for a large amount of gold coins, so he was not short of money. Therefore, he asked Tinos's good friend in the capital, Sir Monty, to collect more potion recipes. After all, it was on the way to the southern province. But he didn't expect Tinos to pay the fee first.
"It's a nice place," he murmured.
"Lord Tinos will pay for it. We will pay at the end of the year." Monty was just an ordinary person, and he did not have any talent as a knight. It was only natural that he was interested in making friends with powerful warriors. In fact, he wouldn't even ask Tinos to pay, and he wouldn't record it in the account book. However, Monty naturally wouldn't tell Tinos the truth. Most of the time, it would be more sincere to let others discover it themselves.
One month later, in the afternoon …
It seemed like the two major families in the city had reached an agreement. They stopped fighting and the situation calmed down quickly. No trace of Lore Anuya was seen again. Even Nisse, who had left with him, didn't receive any news from him.
"Yes." Monty nodded. "The people in the kingdom are worried about the plague. The higher-ups had sent several batches of people to the epidemic area in the southern province, but all of them returned empty-handed. According to what we know, there are at least thousands of people infected by the plague, and the situation is terrible. I heard that all the people in a lord's territory died. "
"What's the date today, Tom?" Angele asked the coachman loudly.
"About 100 years ago, in the year 1430, there was a big outbreak of Blood Boil Disease in Santiago. That time, more than a hundred thousand people died. Santiago suffered a great loss, and many people fled the country. If it's a small outbreak, it'll be fine, but if it's a big outbreak … "Angele did not finish his sentence, but the other two understood what he was trying to say.
"Alright, thank you for your help," Angele said casually. Of course, the potion recipes were not for wizards. They were just common potion recipes for mortals. Angele just wanted to collect more information from the book to improve his knowledge base. It would cost him several thousand gold coins at most.
"No problem." Angele nodded.
* BAM *
After the door was opened, there was a dark brown stone corridor inside. There were small skylights on both sides of the wall, and pale yellow sunlight shone in from the skylight on the right, hitting the black ground, and a gust of cold and damp air blew over.
In the study room of Tinos's private mansion.
There was a faint chill and tension in the air.
It was Angele.
Angele left Tinos's mansion and got on the black carriage waiting for him. The carriage was heading to the manor he just bought.
"I already have more than thirty of them, and they have all sorts of prescriptions." Monty smiled. "I'll have someone send them to your residence later."
Angele nodded.
Angele crossed his legs and sat on the chair in the study room, sipping on a glass of green fruit wine.
Angele's expression turned serious.
'Necromancy negative energy particles, 65.72% concentration.'
"Master Angele, you're finally here. That guy is going to die if you don't come soon, "the fat guard muttered and opened the door quickly.
"Got it." Angele walked through the fence and walked to the church building. He could hear the screams coming from inside.
"Mr. Monti, we haven't talked much, but if you trust me, don't go to the plague area. Don't even try to get close to it, "he said in a serious tone. "If I'm not mistaken, it's Blood Boil Disease. Unless you're a knight, you'll die if you touch it. "
'It's already 1542. It's winter again.' Angele tightened his collar and looked out of the window.
"18, huh? Harland should be done by now. "Angele nodded." Let's go to the Twisted Blue Prison. I don't need to go home yet. "
Angele could hear the screams coming from the buildings inside the fence. It was the screams of the condemned prisoners before they died.
"What's the price?" Angele nodded.
Now, his spiritual power had completely stagnated. Although he collected the Night Honeycomb, it seemed like his body was resistant to the potion. Angele's mentality did not increase at all. No matter how hard he meditated, he had already reached the limit of a wizard. Therefore, other than solidifying his spirit every day, he was mostly preparing for his return to the academy.
"Master Harland told me that you can come and go as you please. However, you can only enter the manor by yourself. "The captain was wearing a helmet and his voice sounded a bit muffled.
During this month, he moved from his original shop to the new manor, spending no more than ten thousand gold coins. Compared to the 500,000 gold coins he had obtained from the Phosphorescent Giant Elephant, it was not a big expense. In terms of meditation, his mental strength was much more stable now. The mentality that was forcefully boosted by the potion was much more stable now. Unfortunately, his Stamina decreased by 1 point. It was probably the side effect of the Black Lead Potion and the negative energy.
* Dong Dong *
A black carriage followed the path in the forest and slowly approached. Finally, it stopped on the grass outside the entrance of the fence.
The carriage sped up on the quiet street. The carriage turned left at a Y-shaped intersection, leaving several dried leaves on the ground.
"Also, I've collected many potion recipes you asked me to find. I'm not sure if any of them fit your requirements," Monti continued. "I collected them from the capital. I didn't know why Tinos asked me to help him find the potion formula, but now I know it's because of you, Master Angele. "
* CREAK * A small window on the door was opened. A chubby guard glanced at Angele through the window.
* BAM *
Angele was just listening to Monti's explanation, but his expression turned serious as he listened to Monti's explanation.
"A rare treasure like the Stone of Lisa is actually a Concept Equipment. That's what surprised me the most, "Tinos said. Tinos said, "Someone saw Anuya leave Lennon City with Nisse and enter the forest outside the city. This is the end of the story. Concept equipment was something that only existed in legends and could only be found by luck. We don't need to waste too much time on it. Moreover, the curse on the Divine Armament could turn the wielder into a killing machine. I don't want it even if you give it to me. "
Tinos and a middle-aged noble with black hair were sitting on the side. They were talking about the Holy Gear with a calm expression on their faces.
The grass under Angele's feet was soft like a blanket. Angele walked to the front of the building and knocked on the heavy brown wooden door.
"Don't worry. The disease is under control," Monti explained. "The whole epidemic area is quarantined."
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes. A row of data was displayed in the corner of his sight.
"Let's talk about this later. How long will Master Monti stay in Lennon City?" Tinos asked.
Angele sat in the carriage. It was already winter. The afternoon sun shined through the window and landed on the back of Angele's hand, creating an irregular yellow glow. It was not warm at all. The chilling wind kept blowing into the carriage.
A group of patrolling guards walked to them.
"As long as he's still alive," Angele said in a light tone.
Monti's expression changed. "I wouldn't go there even if you didn't remind me. I have goosebumps just from hearing the rumors."
"Good." Angele nodded.
"Are you sure there's blood in the blisters?" he asked.
Angele needed Water of Asu and defensive spells to become a wizard. Both of these were things he urgently needed right now. Returning to the school was the fastest way to get those two things. There was no news about Anyua's whereabouts. Therefore, Angele paid more attention to the news from the school.
The curtain was pulled open, and a young man with a gloomy expression stepped down from the carriage. He was wearing a black hunting suit and a pair of long black leather boots. He looked cold and cruel.
After the auction, Angele asked Harland and Tinos to track down the young man named Anyua. Unfortunately, the other party was like a stone that had sunk into the ocean, completely without a trace.
