The Wizard World - Chapter 227

Chapter 227
Angele saw a white robe being welcomed as he stepped out of the gate . He led the apprentices and wizards that had just landed into the building . Angele noticed that it seemed like there were two extremely talented apprentices that were being surrounded by the rest of the students .
The two entered the building before the other apprentices .
Angele was not interested in attending such events . He turned around and returned to the library .
He noticed that someone else was grabbing books from the one with spell books . It was a male light wizard .
The man had gray short hair with a pair of silver eyes . He had a blank expression on his face . It looked he was still in his early twenties .
Angele hesitated for a second before starting to record the spell again .
The wizard apprentice waited outside the library quietly .
After a while, he heard footsteps and two people entered the room .
Angele knew the two wizards . They were inside the same arena as Angele .
It was the bald man and the pretty lady with black hair, who almost started a fight with the others back in the arena .
"Oh…" The bald man recognized Angele right away after entering the room . "You finished all the procedures already?!" He looked surprised .
The man turned around and looked at the female wizard . "Hey, Vivian . He’s much better than us, right?"
"Stop bitching, or I’ll cut your tongue off!" Vivian responded in a cold tone . She glared at Angele before walking to the bookshelf labeled, ‘Basic Knowledge’ .
The bald man shook his head . It seemed like he was not angry about her words . He walked to Angele and started checking the spell books as well .
"Hey, so you successfully joined the potions department? Was everything smooth for you?"
Angele glanced at the man . "Yeah, you two both joined the hunting team?"
"Yeah, five people passed the test . I and that lady were assigned to the same group . We’ll be completing missions together . " He smiled . It seemed like the man was satisfied with the result .
Angele slightly shook his head . He was not sure why the man was so happy, but he decided not to ask .
"Good for you . I wanted to join the hunting team as well, but I’m too weak for that . "
"Don’t give up . Improve yourself, and one day you’ll be just like us . " The man patted Angele on the shoulder . "We’re in charge of the security of the southern border . My name is Karl, by the way . If you need any help when you’re visiting the south branch, just let me know . I’ll see what I can do . "
"Thank you . My potions department branch is in the south, too . Come find me if you need to purchase potions . I’ll give you a discount for sure . We joined the organization together, so we should look after each other . " Angele smiled . He had plans in his mind .
"That’ll be great . " Karl chuckled . "But I heard a rumor that one of the wizards from the hunting team went missing during a mission in the public market . That’s the reason why they’re recruiting new blood . You live in the south, right? Do you know what happened?"
"I heard the rumor too, but I’m not sure about the truth . You’re talking about the captain of the patrol team, right?" Angele questioned .
"Yeah, that one . " Karl licked his lips . "I heard that the captain was strong and was a representative of a large family . I guess someone assassinated him . There must be something going on . The three large families are now investigating that incident . I’m really interested . "
The bald man named Karl was not hiding his mentality waves at all . Thus, Angele knew that he was a Liquid stage wizard . Angele could sense the curses of deceased wizards from the man’s mentality wave . It was possible that Karl was a dark wizard .


Most dark wizards dealt with dead bodies all day and most of them were cursed by the wizards they had killed . That was one of the reasons why the white robes despised them .
The library was silent, Angele chatted with Karl using energy particles as he scanned the spell books he needed . He acquired some valuable information about the hunting team from the bald man .
There were two types of members in the hunting team of the Six Ring High Tower .
People that were doing the dirty work such as collecting intel and tracking down targets were called ants . They were everywhere . Some of them were just apprentices and Knights, yet they did not even know they were working for the hunting team .
The number of core members was much smaller and all of them were strong formal wizards . They were elites that passed the tough test, though some of them were just trying to get rid of their criminal record .

The total number of the core members in the southwest division was around 30 . When they were killed in the mission, the leader would start recruiting because a certain number of people was needed to keep everything in order .
Only several of the core members survived all the missions and they were promoted as leaders of the teams .
The structure of the whole hunting team was simple .
The president, the vice president, the leaders of divisions, the core members, and the ants .
The higher one’s position was, the more missions he had survived . Most of the missions for the core members were dangerous, so completing and surviving many of them would be hard .
The core members usually acted in groups during their missions . They were usually sent to track down wanted criminals and eliminate them when necessary . They were allowed to hire no more than 15 followers and their salaries would be paid by the tower when the contracts were validated .
There were many resource points to guard in Nola, and more people were needed to solve the incident happened around the public market . That was the reason why Karl and Vivian were assigned to the south .


Karl said that they would be guarding the southern border so that the more experienced members would be free to join the investigation . There were many small wizard families around the border . It would be a great opportunity for them to build a community there .
After their conversation, Angele exchanged communication runes with Karl, thinking that Karl might be able to help him in the future .
Angele had been living in the south area since he entered the Six Ring area . His home was close to the border and the public market that was guarded by a small team led by Kuirman .
He knew that there were small wizard families living in the towns around his territory, but he did not want to build relationships with them .
Angele just wanted to live close to the trading tower and stay out of people’s sight .
However, he realized that he would be staying in the Six Ring area longer than he had initially thought . Angele decided to make friends with people like Karl and build a small network that could back him up when he was in trouble . By communicating with Karl, he would be able to know the latest happenings in the areas around him . The old man with red eyebrows from the Labyrinth College was still going after him, therefore he needed to be prepared for it .
Angele also learned that he could acquire the basic knowledge for rank 2 wizard after becoming a core member of the hunting team . Some of the knowledge could help him progress to the Crystal stage . He was a member of the potions department and in order to get that knowledge, he would have to submit a request form to the director .
It was not a big problem as he knew Ander . The old man could likely help approve his request .
It was getting darker outside . The female light wizard had already left the room, but the male light wizard was still reading a book .
Angele finished scanning everything and left the library after saying goodbye to Karl .
The glowing crystals on the main building brought minimum visibility to the area around the stone house . He walked to the narrow path beside the forest, which was the only way out .
Beside the path was a small area with unicorns for rent .


Angele walked to an oil lamp that was hanging on the branch of a large tree . Under the dim light, there were several unicorns eating the grasses .
He took out a regular magic stone from his pouch and threw it into a black unicorn’s mouth . Suddenly, he looked over his left shoulder with surprise in his eyes . A familiar feeling emerged onto his mind .
A distorted image flashed in front of Angele . It was the great harpy, who had long black wings and the tail of a snake . The harpy slowly climbed up his shoulders and stuck her tongue out . A wet and warm fragrance rushed into Angele’s nose .
The great harpy finally woke up .
Angele calmed down, then he decided to explore the Nightmare Realm after returning to his home .
The black unicorn chewed the magic stone several times and swallowed it .
He then jumped on its back .
"Thanks . " Angele grabbed the unicorn’s spiraling horn tight .
"You’re welcome," the unicorn responded . "Same location, right?" It was a male unicorn that had a deep and attractive voice .
"Of course, if you can take me there before six in the morning, I’ll give you two more magic stones . "
"Sit tight then . " The unicorn slightly shook its body .
Its body was then surrounded by a green glow and tiny vortexes appeared around its hooves .
The unicorn started moving forward . It started at a slow pace but after several seconds, it turned into a distorted shadow that stormed into the deep forest . The noise made by the hooves echoed in the area .
