The Wizard World - Chapter 333

Chapter 333

Many fruits completely identical to each other were hanging from the trees .

Under those brown fruits, there were many black flowers the size of a carriage wheel .

Translucent fluid was dripping down from the fruits which were quickly absorbed by the flowers’ pistil .

One of the fruits cracked open as soon as Angele entered the area, revealing the glowing flesh inside .

Several seconds later, a strange human face manifested on the white flesh .

"Hey, you . We meet again," the face greeted Angele . Angele could only see its eyes and mouth . It had no nose or ears .

The green eyes of the face were glowing . Angele tried his utmost to avoid eye contact with it since the green light was making him feel uncomfortable .

"Mocco, long time no see . " A gentle smile appeared on Angele’s face . He then stepped forward and stood in front of the cracked fruit . "I am here to complete the mission . "

"Mission?" Mocco was a tad confused . He started checking the database immediately . "Don’t tell me you have already finished concocting the Poison Cloud Potion . "

"Yeah, it is done . " Angele shrugged .

Mocco hesitated but ultimately scanned Angele with a pair of its emerald-like eyes . "Do not even attempt to trick me . No offense, but I do not think you could possibly finish concocting that potion that quick . "

"See for yourself…" Angele did not want to waste any time and quickly retrieved a small tube from one of his pouches .

The tube was sealed with a wooden stopper and there was a boiling, sticky, brown fluid contained inside . This was the concentrated Poison Cloud Potion .

"Drop this small tube to the ground . Most creatures will die within its effective range . It is not effective on wizards above rank 2, but it is still quite potent . I invested a lot of time and resources into this," Angele explained as he tapped on the test tube . "Hurry up . Someone is still waiting for me in the forest . I need to keep my identity a secret . "

"Ah…alright…" Mocco was still completely shocked . "Your talent on potion concocting is incredible . Three years, and you actually completely concocted a Potion Cloud Potion . I will immediately report back the situation to the headquarters . Actually, you know what, I am not ‘alone’ here . Mocco is actually the combination of 32 wizards’ mentality waves from the headquarters . The information you told me will be disseminated to the 32 wizards . They gave you this mission . I have not seen a Potions Master with such talent in at least 50 years now…The last one was the son of the grand wizard, Finn…" Mocco spouted a bunch of facts and trivia to Angele .

Angele scanned Mocco using Zero and it detected ten different mentality waves . Perhaps they were the wizards who wanted to talk to Angele and were fighting with each other to gain control of Mocco .

"Sorry for the delay . All right, your mission points have been sent to your ring . Please do keep the ring with you always . Once you lose it, you will have to fill out a pile of complicated application forms . You can exchange items and services using the points you earned from the first mission . Here is the list . "

Mocco opened its mouth at a strange angle, and a long, brown leather scroll slowly rolled down its tongue .

The scroll was tied with a black string and there was a metal shoulder piece inside .

Angele took the scroll and removed the seal . The benefits of being a core member of Dark Wizard Tower were listed on it alongside the required mission points that were marked on the side .

He needed to return to Lyn’s side before she could completely recover her mentality . Angele then tied up the scroll again and hid it underneath his sleeves .

Angele picked up the piece of armor that had dropped to the ground and did a quick inspection on it .

"What is this?"

"You are now an authorized member of the organization, so we have sent you a small gift . It is called the ‘Crystal Spaulder’ . This spaulder may seem like a chunk of metal, but it is made from black crystal and is enchanted with a buff spell . The spell can improve your offensive or defensive spells by 50% . "

"Crystal Spaulder…" Angele was inspecting the armor piece using the biochip .

"Remember, this armor is only gifted to the members who have completed the first challenge . Do not wear it like a normal piece of armor as you may be recognized by people who have knowledge of our organization . With this armor piece, you can hire mercenaries of the Shadow Company, but you must use your mission points in order to do so . One or two shadow mercenaries will be sent to you in a week by the headquarters . The cost is already covered by the organization . Also, information regarding ruin exploration, treasure hunting, and secret meetings will be delivered to you from different divisions . You are, however, not forced to attend any of these events since they all have an admission fee . "

"That means I can hire mercenaries, purchase intelligence reports, and join in special events as long as I have enough mission points, right?" Angele was curious about these .

"Yes—all the intelligence reports, secret events, and special items . You only need to exchange them with your mission points . Secret treasures and ancient techniques found from the ruins will not be sold to the public . Only the strongest members of the organization have the right to purchase them . The concoction of the Poison Cloud Potion was not a simple mission but was a truly difficult challenge . You are one of the most talented potion masters in our organization . Work hard and keep on improving . Then your future will become as bright as the sun…" Mocco smiled and disappeared into the fruit’s flesh .

The crack on the fruit closed and the white light disappeared .

Angele pondered for a short while before keeping the crystal spaulder into his pouch . Then he turned around and began returning back to Lyn’s location .

He acquired 10 mission points by completing the challenge . There were many things he could do using the points he currently had according to the information on the scroll .

His interest was also piqued due to the shadow mercenaries Mocco had talked about .

Several minutes later, Angele found Lyn leaning against a large tree with her eyes closed . Her mentality seemed to be recovering .

Angele brought back several dried branches he found along the way and quickly built a campfire .

The orange light from the flame brightened up the surroundings and brought warmth to the two wizards .

Lyn slowly opened her eyes . She lightly bit her lips as she watched Angele build a campfire .

"Master Angele…I should be the one building the campfire…I am sorry, and…"

"Get some rest . It was I who brought you into this mess . We are in the Sherry Forest where there are countless mutated beasts roaming around . We cannot stay here for too long . " Angele stopped Lyn from continuing .

The light from the dancing flames illuminated their faces . They no longer continued their earlier conversation .

Lyn rested for a while and decided to cook food with the ingredients she had on her .

They began to travel once more the next day and finally saw several archers in black armor suits near the forest’s edge .

"It’s the 3rd regiment of the Watchers . " Lyn immediately recognized their identities and approached them .

The archers surrounded Angele and Lyn with them right in the middle of the encirclement . They wanted to make sure that there were no enemy scouts around . A tall man carrying a black bow on his back walked to Angele and bowed .

"Master Angele, I am the captain of the 3rd company . We are here to escort you home . Let’s move now . " The man’s voice was deep and loud . He called Angele "master" but did not express too much of a fawning attitude .

"Sure . The flying knights have already lost track of us . Do not be too nervous . " Angele sighed in relief .

"Our mission is to escort you to the second secret guard post . Majority of the Watchers are still serving in the war, so this is only a temporary company . Please hurry, we still need to join in the war after we finish escorting you," the man explained with a face devoid of any expression .

"All right, let’s go . " Angele nodded . He himself knew just how crucial the war against Thousand Waterfall City was, so he did not want to waste their time .

More or less a hundred archers were part of the company . All of them were rank 3 wizard apprentices but all of them possessed a body comparable that of knights’ . Angele also noticed that the archers carried a lot of low-level enchanted items with them .

Angele was ambushed by a black boar that was five meters tall on their way back .

However, searching for the boar’s weak point had only taken the archers several seconds .

Hundreds of black metal arrows escaped from the bows and rained on the boar’s head .

The boar’s Stamina stat was over 19 units—it was a terrifying number . The arrowheads had been infused with fire energy particles, so they exploded together resulting in the boar being blown into pieces . Only a pile of black ash was left on the ground .

Not a single arrow released by this company of archers missed . The accumulated damage their arrows dealt was over 1000 degrees .

Angele would not even believe that a company of trained rank 3 wizard apprentices possessing attributes at a similar level that of a knight could deal such a high damage had he not witnessed the battle with his own two eyes .

He initially never once thought wizard apprentices could actually aid him during a battle, but this company of wizard apprentices could easily ambush and even kill a formal wizard with such a formidable teamwork .

Lyn, too, finally showed her full capabilities after her mentality had fully recovered .

She applied a speed boost to everyone in the company . With the aid of energy particles, they were now traveling at an incredibly fast speed .

Although it was slower compared to Angele’s speed, they still arrived at Angele’s mansion in just two days, with Vivian there awaiting his arrival .
