The Wizard World - Chapter 247

Chapter 247
"Just come back in one piece, okay? I have never been to Omandis . Record some information using the crystal orb and bring it back to me if possible," Shiva muttered as he started drawing runes again .
The light from the telescope faded as Shiva cut the connection off . Angele carefully returned it to the drawer .
"I need to make sure that the people in my territory become settled . " He walked to the window and looked down . Nancy and several guards were chatting beside a watchtower .
The communication rune he gave to the other wizards or wizard apprentices would not disappear as long as he was still alive so people would not invade his territory in a while .
Shiva, Glue, and several other people he knew could help take care of the matters in his territory if he asked . That was one benefit of having friends in Nola .
However, there was one more organization he needed to deal with .
Angele narrowed his eyes .
He barely knew anything about Wisp’s organization . Although they had been doing businesses with each other for a long time, he did not even know the name of the organization .
Wisp’s organization offered him a position in their potions department but if Angele decided to go to Omandis, he had to make sure that the mysterious organization did not go after him .
Wisp had helped him a lot before he advanced to the Liquid stage and the organization gave him many precious crystal leaves . Angele was worried that if he did not pay them back, the organization would attack him and the people around him .
Angele must make sure everything was dealt with .
It was possible that the organization had the power to remove him from the team to Omandis .
Furthermore, he had not contacted with Wisp in a while .
*****************************
In a sea of maple trees, the noon sunlight went past through the gaps between the maple leaves and illuminated on the ground .
Between those trees, there was a small lake and the flaming red tree leaves reflected upon its silky-smooth surface . In the center of the lake was a small area with a brown wooden house built upon it . There was no path leading to the house around the lake and it just sat there quietly .
The gentle wind blew over the maple trees . Some dried leaves dropped to the surface of the water, creating ripples .
A young man with brown hair was walking toward the lake slowly .
His eyes were surrounded by a golden glow and there was a metallic silver glint on his skin .
The man raised his right head and a black raven rune flashed on the nail of his middle finger . The rune released a gentle red light and it was barely visible in the sunlight .
"Name is Green," the young man said in a low voice .
A lot of green vines emerged out of the red mud as soon as he finished speaking .
The vines twisted and moved toward the wooden house in the center of the lake, creating a path for him to walk on .
Angele stepped onto the vine bridge calmly and headed to the wooden house .
*Kreek*
The door opened itself as Angele approached .
He entered the house and closed the door .
It was a small place . There were only a brown wooden table and two chairs . There was no wood in the fireplace on the wall and the only decoration in the house was a dried-up wreath .
Under the dim light, Angele saw a man in a black robe . He was wearing a hood with his head lowered .
"Green, welcome to my place . "
Angele walked to the table and sat down on the opposite side .
"Where’s Wisp?"
"He’s dead," the man answered with a high-pitched male voice .
"Dead?" Angele was surprised . "Can you tell me what happened?"
"Sure . He was killed during a mission . It was an accident . His opponents were much stronger than he had thought . " The man raised his head and removed the hood . It was a man with the head of a raven .
Black feathers, black eyes, and a human body . The raven man was surrounded by a mysterious aura .


The raven man shook its head slightly . His voice sounded just like a male human .
"That’s…sad . Wisp has helped me a lot . How about his students?" Angele questioned .
"Who knows? They’re on a mission to avenge their master . Come back in one piece or die during the mission . There are only two possibilities . "
"How about his family?"
"Nothing has changed . Our organization will take care of the dead wizards’ families for 200 years . Don’t worry about it," the raven man explained in a light tone .
"Sounds good . " Angele nodded .
"So you’re the new representative? What should I call you?" Angele wanted to tell Wisp that he made the decision to go to Omandis but it seemed that his initial plan needed to be changed .
"My name is Nowi, you can just call me Raven," the raven man answered calmly . "I’m here to replace Wisp . You’re here to inform us that you’ll be going to the headquarters of Six Ring High Tower, right?"

"You already know?" Angele was surprised for a second but he understood the situation quickly . "Don’t tell me you helped Ander to secure the position for me without him knowing it…"
"You’re smart . Our headquarters is in Omandis as well .
"You’re also worrying about your territory and the people close to you, right?"
"Yeah, you’re right . " Angele nodded as he had nothing to hide .
"Wizards are selfish . It’s impossible for us to maintain a long relationship . Isabel will change, Nancy will change, and I will change . I don’t remember every face I see and one day the people around won’t stay there for me forever . "
"Absolutely . So your best choice is to join us and we’ll take care of your people for you," Raven said in a light tone .
"I didn’t expect your headquarters to be in Omandis as well . If that’s really the case, I’ll accept the offer . " Angele was not worried that the organization would threaten him through his friends . A dark wizard like him would never be compromised . He would always try to find the way to fight back .
"You’re not joining us as a combatant but you need to complete one mission to show us that you’re really a dark wizard . " The Raven opened its beak and it looked he was smiling .
Angele narrowed his eyes but remained calm . "Interesting . How did you even find out that I’m a dark wizard? Tell me the mission then but I won’t just kill people for no reason whatsoever . "


"Everything has already been prepared for you . It’s an easy mission . I’m sure you’re interested . "
"Huh? Tell me about it . " Angele slightly nodded .
Raven stared at Angele in his eyes .
"Kill Red Beard . "
Angele pursed his lips after hearing the word .
"What are you talking about? Red Beard is one of the three elders from the Labyrinth College . He’s a Crystal stage wizard and he’s getting close to rank 2 . You want me to kill him?"
"No one will stop you . " Raven cleared his throat . "I mean, no one can stop you . "
"Why are you so sure?" Angele shook his head .
"The name of our organization is the Dark Wizard Tower . "
Angele lowered his head . He was trying to search the name using the database .
"But how can I kill him? I’m not confident that I can defeat him in a one versus one situation . "
"Well, you probably can’t when he’s at his optimal state . But what if he’s betrayed by his own people and is severely injured?" Raven chuckled .
"Are you setting everything up for me? It doesn’t sound possible . "
"You’ll understand when the day comes . "
***********************
Half a month later…
Outside Nola, the Mist Forest .
Angele was overlooking the green sea of trees on a tall cliff, wearing a black leather armor suit .


The forest was endless, the only thing in his sight was the tree .
It was early in the morning and the sunlight had not yet brought the warmth to the land .
Angele scratched his head and turned around .
A blonde man with curly hair stepped forward and stood beside Angele, he was wearing a black swordsman’s suit .
"According to our intel, Red Beard has been injured by the president of Labyrinth College, Narry, and he is hiding in the forest below us . I’ll leave the job to you," the man spoke in a calm tone .
"Is he alone?" Angele wondered .
"There should be two people with him . A zombie he created and one of his students," the man explained . "Red Beard failed a mission and did some permanent damage to his organization…"
"Is he part of the Dark Wizard Tower?" Angele suddenly questioned .
"No, but Narry is . "
"So the organization wants him gone? Why?"
The man shook his head . "The situation is complicated and I don’t know how to explain it to you . Just go . There are other people going after him . There’s a Crystal stage wizard named Olive that wants Red Beard dead . He and three other Liquid stage wizards have already been in pursuit of him for four days . Red Beard has many enemies and they all heard the information that he was hurt . "
"Interesting, so I’m not the only one here?" Angele asked . "I thought you already cleared the path for me . "
"Well, you’re definitely not the only one here . We did try to clear the path for you but the situation changed . "
The man took out a black plate from his pouch and handed it over to Angele .
"You can track the Red Beard down using the plate . "
Angele looked at the plate, it was about the size of a palm . Its surface was smooth like a mirror . There was a white dot being displayed in the center and a red dot was slowly moving on the left side .
"Thanks . " He held the plate with his left hand and raised his right arm, creating a long silver sword in his hand .
Angele checked the red dot on the plate and walked down the cliff .
