The Wizard World - Chapter 207

Chapter 207

The stench was becoming worse by the second . It was the first time that Angele experienced such an unpleasant smell after reincarnating into this world .
About ten minutes later, he raised his head and straightened his back .
"Well, it definitely caused some damage to my body . "
Zero displayed the hologram of his body in front his eyes . The hologram was rotating slowly and red glowing dots were moving inside his body, from the head to the lungs . The distance between each of the red dots was close .
‘Unknown bacteria detected, please use antibiotics immediately . ’
Zero warned .
Angele knitted his eyebrows . "It seems like I need to rest for a while before using it for meditation again . I need to increase my Mentality to 40 in order to advance to the next stage, but it seems the process will take a while . Also, I reached Gas stage faster than most of the formal wizards…If I advance to the Liquid stage in such a short period, I may get in trouble . The old guys will want to know how I did that . "
*******************************
In the next several months, Angele stayed in his house and focused on meditating with the assistance of Demos’ Water .
He spent his free time trying to concoct the Tree Killer Potion . However, the difficulty was much higher than the Demos’ Water . Furthermore, he kept improving the current spell models and studied the Giant’s Fire enchantment skills .
Although Nola should be a safe place, he was still preparing for possible ambushes from the Labyrinth College . He still had some high-quality heart bombs left but nothing had happened during these past months .
The old man with red eyebrows knew what Angele looked like and could easily recreate his appearance in a mirror using spells . Angele was still not sure what spells the old man used to track him down, so he decided to stay alert .
It seemed like someone had handled the trouble for him as there was no report on sighting spies of Labyrinth College recently . The only possibility was Isabel’s family, the Jones Family, had helped him .
Angele’s assumption was that he was Isabel’s friend, and for some reason, the Labyrinth College feared the power of the Jones Family .
It was possible for him to win a 1-on-1 battle against a Liquid stage wizard . However, he doubted if he could last two seconds under the spells of a Crystal stage wizard . The horrifying spell cast by old wizard Melissa back in the ruin could probably purify a whole city . He could not imagine how much damage an explosive spell from a Crystal stage dark wizard could do . They could likely even easily block his heart bombs .
Wizards who had reached the Crystal stage must be extremely talented and hardworking .
Many Crystal stage wizards were only one step away from advancing to rank 2 and most of them already lived hundreds of years’ time in this world .
Angele recalled the conversation he had with Isabel on the ship . She said that her grandmother, Flan, monitored her daily life .
Flan gave Angele an impression that she was a pervert .
Isabel once discussed the problem with Angele during a chat through the communication rune .
She said that her grandmother spent hundreds of years in the laboratory, meditating and doing researches after the war ended . Thus, it was understandable for Flan to develop some special interest to stay sane .
However, Angele still thought that Flan’s love to Isabel was over the line .
He could probably escape the pursuit of a Crystal stage, but he was certain that there was no way he could survive the attack from a rank 2 wizard .
Angele stayed in his house, doing researches, concocting potions, and meditating . This situation lasted for years .
Finally, Angele’s Mentality was increased to 40 .
*****************


"Welcome, wizard Wisp . " Angele stood in the garden with a smile on his face, glaring at the tall slim outside the fence . The tall man was wearing a gray coat with a white cap on his head . He had a strange taste in fashion .
It was high noon; the sunlight was burning . The man smiled, took off his cap, and slightly leaned forward .
"Green, it has been a while . Have you finished the Ghost Voice Potion yet? I brought you the list of the materials you asked for here," the man spoke, and Nancy opened the gate for him . He stepped into the garden and followed Angele to the house .
The garden looked much better than before after Nancy spent the time taking care of the plants . Tiny white flowers decorated the vibrant tall grasses .
"It’s been done a long time ago . You can pick it up anytime you want . Did you bring me the sample I want?" Angele pushed the door open and asked .
"Of course, the sample is right here . " Wisp squeezed his white cap and turned it into a piece of white cloth, then put it into his pocket . Nancy was surprised by this ‘magic’ he just did .

The two sat on the sofa and Angele asked Nancy to prepare beverages for them .
"You’re really in a hurry this time . I tried my best to get you the sample as soon as possible . " Instead of communicating by words, Wisp sent the message using energy particles .
"Yeah . " Angele slightly nodded . "I used way too many resources in the recent years . I need the materials to make the catalyst and neutralizer . The experiment is at the critical stage, so I had to ask you for the sample . My apologies if it was too much trouble . "
"Not a problem at all . " Wisp waved his hands . "I trust you . You never failed any of our trade . It’s an honor working with you . " He stopped for a second and continued, "Hey, do you know the rumor going around at the trading towers?"
"Huh? What’s that?" Angele wondered .
"You’re master Isabel’s lover, ha . What a background you got there . " Wisp chuckled . "If anything goes south, I can go talk to the Jones Family . "
"Come on . Well, whatever . " Angele shook his head . "We’ve completed so many trades with no issue . You know the truth, right?"


"Of course…If the Jones Family knows about your potion concocting skills, no one will ever question your ability . " Wisp nodded .
Angele showed a wry smile on his face . "Enough of that . Alright, show me your list . You still have other works to do, right?"
"Nope . You’re an important client and I’m now in charge of taking care of your requests . Tell me what you need and I’ll prepare it for you as soon as I can . " Wisp stared at Angele .
"Is that so?" It was not a surprise at all . Angele stayed calm .
Wisp stopped talking . He took out a fist-sized crystal orb from the pocket and threw it in the air .
"Bright White Leaf from the Viema City, also called the crystal leaf . You can check its quality . "
The orb rotated several times in the air and released rays of light to the surface of the table in front of the two .
The colorful picture of an item illuminated on the smooth wooden surface .
In the center of the white light, there was a piece of white leaf with rough edges lying there quietly . It had the texture of white jade and it had the size of an index finger .
That was the crystal leaf Wisp mentioned .
Angele had already met the requirement for his advancement and he had successfully concocted the Tree Killer Potion . Everything was ready, but he was still concerned about one more thing .
The success rate of advancing to the Liquid stage .
Based on the calculation done by Zero, his success rate was around 50% and that was the reason why Angele hesitated .


Angele spent a long time trying to concoct the potions that could possibly increase his success rate . He purchased various types of materials from Wisp and made countless potions .
However, it was difficult to find the right ones .
The organization behind Wisp was strong . It seemed like they could find any rare materials Angele needed . Although Angele was still trading with people from the trading tower, none of them had the same quality as the materials Wisp provided .
Angele did his research and found out that the crystal leaf was a material that could possibly increase his success rate . The leaf had many variants the last time he acquired a piece of Red Jade Leaf and the report from Zero suggested that the leaf was worth a try .
With the help of the chip, Angele had a general idea of how high his success rate was and the possible ways to increase it .
He collected much information recently, resulting in Zero’s database getting larger and larger . More data helped Zero do more accurate analyses . It was like carrying a whole library of books around .
"So, what do you say?" Wisp grabbed the teacup and took a sip .
"If the color is accurate, I’ll take it . " Angele nodded .
"Let’s check the schedule then . I’ll send someone to deliver it to you . Honestly, I think you should upgrade your defensive system here…You don’t even have a forcefield detection spell activated and you’re storing all the rare materials here . Let me know if you need any recommendations . "
"I’ve been considering it recently and yeah, the defense around my house is weak . The guards won’t stand a chance against any prepared attackers . " Angele’s brow furrowed .
"It’s Nola, but anything can happen . I’ll bring some magic circle books to you next time . Pick any one you want, it’s on me . " Wisp slightly nodded his head .
"Much appreciated . " Angele looked at the crystal leaf on the table . If the leaf was effective, his success rate would be greatly increased .
Wizards were usually on their own when trying to advance to the next stage . There were many books introducing different methods, but most of them were not effective . The wizard’s body would develop resistance to the effect of rare materials of high-level potions due to the side effects that came with the benefits .
The success rate would fall if he did not manage to advance to the next stage on the first try . That was the reason why many wizards failed to advance to the next level . They had wasted many resources but never realized that their chances of reaching the next stage were getting lower and lower .
