Chapter 131
Besides having acquired knowledge of the Ashen Mask outside, the other reason why Glenn had returned to Black Isotta this time was to settle issues of profit regarding the perfume with Fatty[1] .
The issue with the perfume profits was the Orchid Tree Commerce Union that Fatty served . It was a large power found throughout the Seven Rings Holy Tower's 11th to 15th Districts Dark Sorcerer faction and had wide influence over the Seven Rings Holy Tower .
When Fatty caught sight of the halo above Glenn's head, his eyes widened and he muttered, "Looks like the contract will be continued for several thousand years . The scheme[2] of that group of old guys fell through . "
…
The fourth floor of Black Isotta .
A group of white goat-bearded sorcerers of short stature put down the books in their hands, pointing their fingers at the halo above Glenn's head in a daze . Not daring to believe what he was seeing, one of the sorcerers mumbled, "You qualified as a reserve Demon-Hunter?"
The speaker was the same formal sorcerer who had originally sold Glenn the Ashen Mask for two-thousand magic stones, Singh .
Glenn nodded . He unhurriedly removed the Ashen Mask, revealing the steady face of a mature man . Respectfully, he said, "It is thanks to this Ashen Mask from Maestro that Glenn could achieve the accomplishments of today . "
Singh gaped . After what felt like half a day later, he sighed and said, "After two, three hundred years pass, come back to take a look . At that time, we will be peers . "
Glenn smiled politely before his expression gradually turned serious . He said in a deep voice, "Maestro Singh, after having learned alchemy from you, this lowly one won't conceal that I have also gradually gained a little understanding of alchemy . Over the last years, I obtained some alchemical materials that can be regarded as valuable and want to refine a proprietary genuine sorcery tool of my own . Therefore, it is imperative I have the alchemy technique as well as the corresponding knowledge of this mask . "
Glenn paused before saying in a deep voice, "I am willing to pay the cost I can now bear and gain this mask's proprietary knowledge in return . "
Singh looked at Glenn, flabbergasted . He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head slowly . "I think… it's time to let you know the real situation . This mask wasn't refined by me . I also merely purchased it from another sorcerer during my youth . "
Glenn came to a halt . He asked in astonishment, "From who?"
"Fake Faceless Nilmar . He is a level two sorcerer who is number one when it comes to sound wave spells, curses, mysticism, and he pursues a very advanced study of alchemy . Therefore, if you want to obtain this mask's proprietary knowledge, you had better go look for him, alright?" Singh said with a bit of awkwardness .
Singh had never brought up the subject of the mask's true origins when he was in the interrogation room, after all .
Fake Faceless Sorcerer?
Glenn stared at Singh, dumbstruck . He was already leaving behind his years as a student in Black Isotta, yet to come full circle and once again arrive at the sorcerer who had changed Glenn's destiny?
Moreover, Fake Faceless was Sam's teacher . It may be assumed that the other side was already aware of his situation in the Holy Tower Tryouts .
Glenn fell into contemplation as he faced Singh and said goodbye .
He returned to Peranos's laboratory, and then under the guidance of his teacher, Glenn arrived at Fake Faceless Sorcerer's room on the Black Isotta's 56th floor .
When that flat face without facial features came into view . . . when that unknown smell floated before Glenn . . . when that rough voice produced from who-knows-where in that black robe was transmitted to Glenn's ears . . . Practically in a split second, it was as if Glenn had returned to that hellish ship in the past . He returned to the time when he trembled in fear every day but constantly forced himself to be calmer and even stronger .
That frightening appearance without any facial features had appeared in Glenn's nightmares many times and left behind an ineffaceable mark in his life .
"Oh? Sir Peranos . How did you find the time to come see me?" It was only when Glenn heard Fake Faceless Nilmar's respectful and amazed voice, brimming with awe, that he returned to reality from his memories .
Peranos wore a wide robe just like the other party did . From within his robes appeared arms and a face covered in sewing marks from needlework . With his ugly appearance revealed, he whispered, "You little guy, this Dean can't be free to come round to inspect your school teaching task?"
Fake Faceless Sorcerer said with a laugh, "How? Sam didn't cause you to be disappointed, right? This time our school has no less than sixteen students that are qualified in becoming a reserve demon-hunting sorcerer, far surpassing the other schools in the 12th District . "
Peranos nodded . He moved out of the way and pointed at Glenn behind him . "This is my disciple Glenn . He is also a student from that time you managed to return with that Lilith School ship . Sam ought to have spoken about his matters with you, right?"
After Glenn took a deep breath, he put to use his sorcerer etiquette . His expression appeared calm, tranquil and wise as he slowly straightened up .
Yes . At this very moment, he was no longer that helpless and weak student from that time on the ship . He was already Peranos's disciple and the recipient of the top reward for the dark sorcerer faction of the 11th to 15th Districts .
Compared to Fake Faceless Nilmar, Peranos was the real terrifying old monster!
"You, you…" Nilmar was shocked . "You were actually already a disciple of Sir Peranos . No wonder…!"
