Angele asked Nancy to go to Ivan for the servant contract . He then closed the door and walked upstairs . It was dark in the house . His footsteps echoed in the living room . Angele walked to the study on the second floor and pushed the door open carefully . Inside the room, the crystal lamp was still glowing under the piece of black cloth . The dim light penetrated the cloth and slightly brightened up Angeles’ sight . He closed the door, walked to the table and sat down slowly . On the surface of the wooden table, there was a notebook with the knowledge system of enchantment recorded on it . Angele removed the black cloth, grabbed the feather pen from the side, and was about to finish the work . Suddenly, a blue light dot flashed on his right middle finger and some smoke slowly rose from the nail . "Green, I found the formula you needed . It’s in my family’s treasure room . The formula is protected by a special technique . The information will disappear in half an hour if copied down to a piece of paper . " Isabel’s voice was transferred into Angele’s ears . "So, what do you want me to do?" Angele was not surprised . Isabel was from a strong family and it was within his expectation that they had the rare formula in storage . "There’ll be a dinner party the day after tomorrow . I’ll send you the invitation . " Isabel sounded calm . "You must leave the area protected by my family’s defensive magic circle within 20 minutes after reading the formula . " "Not a problem . " The blue smoke vanished into the air . Angele rubbed his nail slowly and a smile appeared on his face . He pulled the drawer open . It was full of translucent crystal boxes, and inside each of the boxes were different types of material powder . Angele made the powder not so long ago, as he was preparing to concoct the Tree Killer Potion . ************************** Two days later, the sun was setting . In front of the house by the lake, an enormous white neck eagle carefully landed by the fences . The eagle’s wings were more than six meters long, the feathers around its neck were white, and the rest of its body was black . A young man wearing a brown leather suit with a leather helmet jumped off the back of the eagle . The man turned his head around and looked at the other side of the lake . A team of dwarves was working on the construction site . He could even hear the noise here . "They are building the guarding posts for me . " The young man became surprised at the voice that came from behind . A man with brown hair appeared from nowhere and stood right in front of him . The man had a pair of golden eyes . The shape of his pupils was identical to a cat’s and almost looked like they were glowing . "Ah, wizard Green, I’m sent here by master Isabel," The young man bowed to Angele and responded politely, "Please get on the white neck eagle’s back . It’ll take you directly to the dinner party . " "Is that so?" Angele glared at the eagle . The two-meter-tall eagle looked scared . Its wings trembled and backed off . Strong noise kept coming out of its beak . Angele chuckled . "It seems like the eagle doesn’t want me on his back . " "Master, your mentality wave is making the eagle panic…" The young man walked to the eagle and took out a small pill from his pouch . The eagle calmed down after swallowing the pill . "It’s good now, master . " Angele nodded and rubbed the eagle’s hard feathers . He then applied some force to his feet and jumped right onto the eagles back . It was surprisingly comfortable to sit on the creature’s back . The feathers were warm and smooth . Angele sniffed the air . There was a strange flower fragrance coming from the eagle .
The young man stood by the side and bowed to Angele again . The eagle raised its wings . It felt like gravity disappeared for a second and Angele saw the land moving away from him . The objects around were also becoming miniature . Chilling wind rushed into his ears and the collar of his clothes . Angele turned his head to the side glancing down . The size of the house, the lake, and the construction site was shrinking in his sight . The working dwarves looked at him for a second and lowered their heads . The only thing he could hear was the noise made by the wings and the wind . Angele held some of the eagle’s feathers tight to stabilize his body . Also, he lowered his upper body to reduce the resistance from the wind .
The trading tower, the forest, and the gray paths were quickly moving away Angele’s sight . The eagle was flying forward quickly . Several apprentices raised their heads and stared at it . From Angele’s view, they looked like tiny sesame seeds . Angele took a deep breath and looked to the right . He could see a white obelisk partially covered in the fog . Brown houses were built around the obelisk . Angele could see flying mounts landing and departing . Between the obelisk and Angele, it was a sea of dark green trees . Pedestrians and carriages were slowly moving on the gray twisted paths . Angele turned his head to the left side . It was the endless black city road, which looked like a long black string lying on the edge of the trees . It was getting darker and darker . After about 20 minutes, Angele saw a group of white buildings from the back of the eagle .
The eagle leaned forward and started flying down . There were two other white neck eagles landing . An empty square was built in the center of the buildings with white slates on its surface . There were already more than ten eagles waiting on the square . The people who just got off the eagles were having some light conversations as they walked to the largest building ahead . Most of them were wearing white robes . Their genders varied but they all looked young . Angele knew those people were well-educated just by watching how they behaved . Angele’s eagle slowly landed on the square . A servant wearing a gray robe quickly walked to him . "Master, the party will start in half an hour . You can wait at the family hall in front . " The servant was a young girl with a clean face . The mentality waves she was releasing indicated that she was a rank 1 apprentice . "Sure . " Angele jumped off the eagle’s back . He turned around and looked at the eagle . It was the first time he rode a flying mount; the experience was refreshing . "How much is a white neck eagle? Can I buy them from the market?" Angele questioned . The girl hesitated . It seemed like she did not expect Angele to ask a question like that . "You can’t buy a white neck eagle from the market, my friend . " An energetic male voice came from the left side . Angele saw two bold people walking toward him . A strong bold man with a sexy bold woman walked over smiling politely . The two were wearing red robes and there were complicated patterns embroidered on the edges of the collars . The pattern had the shape of an eye . "You are?" Angele smiled as well . The mentality waves the two were releasing indicated that they were both at the Liquid stage . The female servant walked away . She did not want to interrupt the conversation between the wizards .
"I’m Vincent . Vincent Astin . I’m…Isabel’s classmate . " The bald woman said after Vincent, "I’m Alice, a classmate of Isabel . " "My name is Green, a friend of master Isabel," Angele responded politely . "Huh? Friend?" The bold man looked surprised . "You’re that iceberg’s friend?" "Come on, let’s go to the palace first," Alice interrupted . The three walked slowly on the white slates together, heading to the white palace ahead of them . Many wizards greeted the two bold wizards on the way . It seemed like they knew many people here, but several wizards were keeping a distance from the two . Angele saw a hint of fear from their eyes . "Wizard Green, let me be honest with you . I didn’t believe that master Isabel invited an outsider to the party . Well, excuse my ignorance, I’m not looking down on you . I think you know how important Isabel is to their family . All the elders are supporters of the inheritor system . " Vincent lowered his voice . "Inheritor system?" "Oh, right, sorry . I forgot you came to Nola not so long ago . " Vincent rubbed his forehead . "Let me explain this to you . The place is ruled by two different types of wizards and each of the groups control three signal obelisks . In the Six Ring area, there are signal obelisks, three cities, and one wizard school . The supporters of inheritor system want to stop outsiders from entering their territory to keep the purity of their bloodlines . The Six Ring area has one of the best resource points in Nola and our members are selected from the elite wizards . " Angele nodded . "So it’s similar to the mortal’s noble systems . They only marry the members of the families to keep their bloodlines pure . " "You’re correct . " Vincent shrugged . "We’re not that bad actually . The White Tooth Castle and the Snake Bird Cliff are much more serious on that . The Snake Bird Cliff makes sure that their bloodlines are not shared with the outsiders and White Tooth Castle is trying to recreate ancient bloodlines . The merged bloodlines will make people mad…Their members make me sick . " "So…the family controlling the Six Ring area has the similar plan?" Angele wondered . "Yeah . " Vincent wanted to say something else, but he suddenly stood straight and bowed . Alice stopped smiling and bowed as well . Angele raised his head . He saw two women in white robes walking in the middle of the road chatting . The two women looked young . On the collars of their clothes, there were two nail-sized silver rings . "Hey, bow to them . " Vincent pulled Angele’s sleeves . Angele nodded and bowed to the two women right away . Vincent grabbed his hand and pulled him to the right side of the road .
