The Wizard apprentice turned around and walked to the other side of the obelisk . Angele hesitated for a second then followed him . They arrived at a large empty ground covered by vibrant green grass . He saw several other people waiting there already . There were five of them, three light Wizards and two Wizard apprentices . They were brought here by other Wizard apprentices from Six Ring High Tower . The Wizard apprentices were chatting with those people, trying the best to lighten up the mood here . Angele followed after Ivan . He glared at the three formal Wizards quickly . There were two female Wizards and one male Wizard . The two female Wizards stood close to each other, giving the impression that they were friends . Their white robes were tightened up by belts, Angele walked closer and realized the two were probably sisters . Their faces looked identical with sun tanned skin and they all had dark red curly hair . The male Wizard was having a conversation with the female Wizard apprentice that led him here . He was checking the girl’s body out while talking . Although the man had an average-looking face, his blonde shiny hair still caught some attention . The girl looked clean and pretty, but it seemed like she was having trouble dealing with the talkative Wizard . Angele waited for a while after reaching the grassy ground . Two more Wizards were brought here by the Wizard apprentices and all the people here were outsiders . The one on the left was a thin man with a goatee and the one on the right was a middle-aged woman with a depressed look on her face . They were all wearing green robes that shared the same patterns . It seemed like they were from the same organization . Angele still had not figured out what the green robes represented yet . After everyone arrived, a young man with red hair walked to the front . "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen . I’m a year 1 apprentice from the Six Ring College . I’m in charge of explaining how to use the tower to you . " He wasted no time and showed how to properly release the mentality wave . Also, he mentioned the specific wave channel and a simple application of energy particles required to activate the tower . The young man demonstrated the necessary steps and walked away after . The other Wizard apprentices started to explain the available services to the people they brought here . "If you need a few resources or knowledge, you can get them from the trading tower . However, if you need a larger number of items, you can ask me to do it for you . I’ll hire trusted companies to transport them to you . The fee I’ll ask for won’t be too high . Also…not sure if you’re interested, I can also connect you with the girls…female apprentices and female Knights…A formal Wizard like you will be attractive to them . " Ivan turned to Angele and said, "You know, this is the land of Wizards, the richest area on the west coast . We’re the ones with the most power . If you have enough money, we can even get you the beauties from other races . " Angele was not interested in the girls, but he wanted to know more about this area . "Let’s exchange our communication runes then," he spoke in a light tone . Ivan chuckled, quickly drew a complicated rune in the air, and pushed it forward . Angele raised his right hand and the rune sank into his palm . "Also, I think you’ll need a place to stay, right? I can find you one in the forest," Ivan added . "I’ll talk to you later . " Angele nodded . "I need to check out the trading tower first . " "For sure . " Ivan bowed and walked away . Angele turned around and walked to the obelisk . He found a gap between the Wizards around the tower and put his palms against on its surface . *CHI* Strange noise echoed in his ears . A strong mentality wave stroke Angele’s body . The wave was weak and slow, and would not inflict any damage to a formal Wizard . Angele then released his own mentality wave . However, the wave from the tower was not making any contact with his . He recalled the wave channel the young man mentioned and modified his wave slightly . Suddenly, a huge information screen appeared on the surface of the obelisk . Rows of trade information were listed on it . Angele glanced around making sure that he was the only one reading the screen, and nodded slightly . ‘Golden Ring Flower, 25 grams, looking to trade for Armored Beetles . The blood of snake pterosaur, 30 grams, looking to trade for two tons of bronze . Maragas lion’s egg, meet up and discuss the details . Eyeball of a hundred-eyed ghost, looking to trade for the essence of a magic ore . … . . . ’ Information flooded the whole screen . Angele noticed a button at the bottom of the screen that was used for turning the pages . There were more than a thousand pages and each page listed more than 100 different trading information . He started thinking; his utmost priority was to obtain the heart of the tree and the formula to help increase his mentality . These two items were extremely hard to find . Isabel had asked her family to search the heart for him, but he still needed to acquire the formula by himself .
Angele kept turning the pages . ‘I hope I can filter it to formula only…’ he thought . Suddenly, the screen blurred and white light flashed at its edges . Quickly, the page number reduced to two pages and the view became clear again . Trade information about the formulas was left on the screen . ‘Original formula of the Giant Potion, looking to trade for a thousand-eyed spider . Original formula of the Burning Blood, looking to trade for a heart of the earth . Copy of the Arcane Potion, looking to trade for liquid gold, the amount can be discussed later . Pages of high-level potion, Dragonize Potion, meet up and discuss . ’ Angele checked the names of the formulas carefully .
The newer listed formulas would be at the top . There were many potions he had never heard of . Only several of them could help him increase mentality . He spent about half an hour to figure out which ones might be helpful . The first one was Oasman’s Enhancement . The owner was asking for a phoenix flower . The phoenix flower was hard to procure . It usually grew deep in the molten magma . Angele had no idea where he could find one . The other one was named the Illusionary Garden and the owner was asking for a live three-headed bird . It was a much easier requirement to fulfill, but the three-headed bird was an aggressive creature . The bird was about ten meters long and was the king of the sky . Angele was not sure how dangerous the bird was, but from what he read in the book, the creature was capable of slaying a formal Wizard . He was only a Gas stage Wizard and not sure if it was worth a try . From the more than two hundred different formulas, he only found two potions that would help increase his mentality . Angele was a bit speechless . He pursed his lips and decided to search for something else . ‘Show me cursed weapons . ’ The screen blurred again . Several seconds later, filtered information showed up . ‘Calatrava Cross Greatsword . Two-meter attack range . Poison damage . Can damage spirits . Looking to trade for cursed dual short swords . Cursed weapon crafting . Must provide materials . Looking for two icy butterflies . Blueprint for the Speedy Knives . Looking to trade for 1 . 3 kilograms of Dragon Scale Flower . ’
Angele stopped there realizing how valuable cursed weapons were . Kuirman’s cursed scimitar probably was much more expensive than he had thought . Just a blueprint could already be traded for more than one kilogram of Dragon Scale Flower . One Dragon Scale Flower was about 20 grams and this guy was asking for 1 . 3 kilograms . Angele was impressed by the convenience of the trading system in the area, but people were asking for rare resources as if they were easy to find . He decided to search for the information related to enchantment after checking the weapons and the formulas . Angele checked the descriptions and found a book named as Fire Enchantment of the Giants, but the owner requested a meetup . He pressed on the row with the book using his finger carefully . The information was zoomed in and the introduction of the item appeared on the bottom of the page . About ten minutes later, a different mentality wave appeared on the information . Angele closed his eyes and modified the wave channel again . "You want my book, Fire Enchantment of the Giants, right?" A deep male voice was transmitted into Angele’s ears . "Yes . What are you asking for?" Angele responded . "Magic stone cards, rare materials, potions, anything, as long as they are valuable . Now tell me, what can you offer?" "How about the formula of the Ghost Voice?" "Ghost Voice? Interesting . Sure, what location will work for you? I’m not giving you the physical copy, we can just use the orbs . Ghost Voice is an ancient formula, it’s probably worth more than my book, I’ll add something else to the trade to make it fairer for you," the man responded politely . "Sounds great . " "We can meet up on the first day of next month . Name the location . " "Sure, just come to this obelisk," Angele responded . The two agreed on the location and time and described their appearances before cutting off the communication . Angele lowered his hands, opened his eyes, and walked to the other side of the obelisk . Ivan was politely waiting on the side . "Master, do you want to check the residential areas?" "I have many places to recommend, we can go check them out now if you have the time . "
"Sure, lead the way . " Angele nodded and left the obelisk with Ivan . After about three hours, Angele picked a two-story house built beside a small lake . The house was painted in white with a red roof . In front of the house itself, there was a garden surrounded by fences . The whole place was hidden in the forest . "Good choice . A Wizard who loves quiet places built this house a long time ago . He sold it to my family before leaving the area," Ivan introduced the history of the house as he opened the fence gate . The place was covered in tall grasses . Even the path connecting the gate with the house was blocked . The two entered the house and Ivan showed Angele the rooms . "The place is good enough, I’ll take it . " Angele made the decision . "Also, get me a map of the Six Ring area, the place is huge . " "Sure," Ivan responded politely . "Two healing potions for the house, right?" Angele took out two small glass tubes with green liquid inside . "Of course, that’s more than enough . " Ivan smiled . He grabbed the two potions Angele was handing over to him, opened the stoppers and checked if they were real . "From now on, you’re the owner of this house . A low-level magic circle was set up by the gate that’ll prevent insects from entering the garden . It’s a nice and cozy place . Also, you can ask me for daily supplies, I’ll ask workers to deliver them to you as soon as possible . " "Umm…" Ivan hesitated for a second . "Actually, there are many other Wizards living around here . I hope you’ll get along with them . " Angele nodded . "Great, I’ll stop bothering you then . " Ivan bowed to Angele . "Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything . I and my family will try our best to fulfill your request . The only thing you need to do is to message me using the communication rune . " "Sure, thanks . " Ivan left right after finishing his words . After about 30 minutes, a young rank 1 Wizard apprentice knocked on the door and told him that she was in charge of delivering him the daily supplies . This girl was the ‘worker’ Ivan talked about . Her talent level was low and she started meditating a bit too late . Angele doubted if she had the ability to advance to the next rank . Angele stayed in the house and studied the cursed scimitar he acquired from Kuirman . Also, he wanted to know what exactly happened to the signet . He went to the trading tower several times but did not find any newly listed formulas . After Ivan sent him the map, he sent Isabel his location using the communication rune . Angele needed some time to check the items he had acquired in the ruin . In addition to that, he finally had the time to modify the older spell models . With the mentality compression techniques, it would not be a problem to him .
